Dear Rachel:
On behalf of Greenberg Gibbons Properties, Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) is submitting the
attached Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) for the proposed construction of an industrial
warehouse development located along Green Level Church Road in Cary, Wake County,
North Carolina (Site or subject Site). The Site consists of one parcel of land that totals
approximately 30.88 acres of land (Wake County Parcel ID 0727909386). H&H is submitting
this PCN in order to receive verification to use Nationwide Permit (NWP) 939 for the
proposed industrial warehouse development. H&H submitted a combined Approved
Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)
request on January 15, 2024. The JD request is pending.

H&H conducted an initial stream and wetlands survey at the Site on July 14, 2021. During the
survey, H&H identified an intermittent stream and associated wetland in the central portion of
the Site. H&H identified an additional isolated wetland area in the northeastern portion of the
Site. The isolated wetland does not have a continuous surface connection to downgradient
features.
H&H identified one forested wetland, Wetland Area "A" (WAA), and one intermittent stream
channel, Stream "A" (SCA), located in the central portion of the Site. WAA totals
approximately 0.518 acre, and SCA totals approximately 170 linear feet. SCA represents an
unnamed tributary of Northeast Creek. H&H submitted a PJD request for WAA and SCA.
As mentioned above, Wetland Area "B" (WAB) exists in the northeastern portion of the Site.
WAB totals approximately 0.386 acre. WAB does not have a continuous surface connection
to downgradient features. Due to the lack of a continuous surface connection, WAB appears
to be non jurisdictional under the conforming definition of Waters of the US. H&H requested
an AJD for WAB.
The applicant is proposing to permanently impact approximately 0.345 acre of WAA.
Impacts to WAA are proposed for fill and grading required to facilitate the construction of
roadways and a level building pad associated with the warehouse development. The Site plan
also proposes to impact WAB in the northern portion of the Site. However, WAB appears to
be non jurisdictional under the conforming definition of Waters of the US; therefore, impacts
to WAB are not included in this PCN.
Due to the NWP 939 mitigation threshold of 0.1 acre for wetland impacts, mitigation is
proposed via the purchase of mitigation credits from the Cape Fear 02 Umbrella Mitigation
Bank: Flat Rock Mitigation Site. The developer is proposing a 2:1 mitigation ratio.
Therefore, the developer proposes the purchase of 0.69 wetland mitigation credits from the
private mitigation bank.

Appendix C
Avoidance and Minimization
Green Level Industrial
0 Green Level Church Road
Cary, North Carolina
H&H Job No. GGP-003
On -Site Environmental Resources
The proposed development is located at 0 Green Level Church Road in Cary, Wake County, North
Carolina. The Site consists of one parcel that totals approximately 30.88 acres of land.
In August 2024, H&H reviewed the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP) and the North
Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NC SHPO) GIS viewer for historic properties located
on or adjacent to the Site. H&H also conducted a visual reconnaissance of the Site and surrounding
area for the potential presence of historic, cultural, and/or archeological sites. No recorded sites
were noted on the Site. The Excel and Elsie Green Farm (WA7194) was identified as a "surveyed
only" structure located east adjacent of the Site beyond Green Level Church Road. No apparently
significant structures were observed on -Site. H&H also reviewed State and Federal threatened
and endangered species databases for the Site and Wake County. H&H also conducted a screening
survey of the Site and surrounding area for the presence of Federal threatened and endangered
species or their suitable habitats during the optimal survey window for protected plant species. No
protected species were observed on the Site during the Site visit. H&H requested comment on the
Site from the US Fish & Wildlife Service (US FWS), North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NC WRC), and NC SHPO in August 2024. Responses from the NC SHPO and NC
WRC are included in Appendix D. A response from the US FWS is pending.
Avoidance and Minimization
In regard to Site alternatives, the property developer has considered and evaluated other potential
properties in the area of the proposed industrial development. However, properties or property
assemblages of this size are difficult to find and purchase along the frontage of major roadways
and within such close proximity to major interstates. Multi -tenant industrial buildings have certain
industry standard requirements for buildings that consist of specific building and parking
dimensions. Additionally, the developer chose the Site with no threatened and endangered species

or cultural resource issues, which further minimizes environmental impact within the surrounding
area.
The proposed buildings, parking areas, and associated roadways have been designed to primarily
occupy upland areas to avoid on -Site Waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable.
Impacts to Wetland Area "A" are necessary to access approximately 9 acres located in the western
portion of the Site, which would be inaccessible without the proposed impacts. The on -Site
parking areas and roadways have been designed to meet Site -specific needs and zoning
requirements. The culvert installed beneath the southern roadway will facilitate continued
drainage into WAA and Stream Channel "A" (SCA). The Wetland Impact Exhibit prepared by
Oak Engineering is included in Appendix B.
The developer is proposing to avoid approximately 0.17 acre of WAA and the entirety of SCA.
The area of WAA to remain and SCA is located in an area that will not be utilized by the warehouse
development and will remain undisturbed. Additionally, detention ponds are proposed for
stormwater control that will facilitate continued drainage and hydrology into WAA and SCA. The
detention ponds have been designed to occupy exclusively upland areas in the central portion of
the Site. Riprap aprons downgradient of the detention outlet pipes are proposed to reduce high
velocity stormwater runoff before discharging towards WAA and SCA.
During Site development, good erosion and sediment control practices will be followed. Extensive
silt fencing will be used on the construction Site perimeter and along potentially affected wetland
boundaries.
Mitigation
Mitigation is typically required by NWP 939 for impacts greater than 0.1 acre of wetlands and
0.02 acre of stream. Due to the proposed impacts to 0.345 acre of an on -Site wetland,
compensatory mitigation is proposed in the form of purchasing wetland mitigation credits from
the Cape Fear 02 Umbrella Mitigation Bank: Flat Rock Mitigation Site. The mitigation acceptance
letter is included in Appendix E.

The applicant is proposing a mitigation ratio of 2:1 for the anticipated wetland impacts. At a 2:1
mitigation ratio, 0.69 acre of mitigation is proposed for impacts to the wetland via the purchase of
credits from the Cape Fear 02 Umbrella Mitigation Bank: Flat Rock Mitigation Site.

3921 Sunset Ridge Road, Ste. 301
Raleigh, NC 27607
Subject: Request Environmental Information for Green Level Church Road Development in Wake
County, North Carolina.
Mr. McCauley,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject
information and are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Comments are provided in accordance
with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-
667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
Hart & Hickman is requesting environmental information regarding an undeveloped parcel along Green
Level Church Road, west of Morrisville. The project area drains to Northeast Creek in the Neuse River
basin.
There are no national refuges or state-owned, wildlife -designated lands within the project vicinity, nor are
there migratory or feeding grounds for anadromous fish. The NCWRC recommends maintaining a
minimum 100-foot undisturbed, native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a minimum 50-foot
buffer along intermittent streams and wetlands. Forested riparian buffers protect water quality by filtering
stormwater runoff and maintaining stream bank stability. This is particularly important in urban centers
with large areas of impervious surfaces. In addition, these buffers provide a travel corridor for wildlife
species.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists the federally proposed, endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis
subflavus) and candidate monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), as potentially occurring at the site if
suitable habitat occurs. Lack of records onsite does not imply or confirm the absence of federal or state -
listed species. An on -site survey is the only definitive means to determine if the proposed project would
impact rare, threatened, or endangered species.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) should verify the project site for wetlands and
streams to ensure there are no impacts to surface waters. In addition to providing wildlife habitat,
wetland areas and streams aid in flood control and water quality protection. USACE Section 404 Permits
and NC Division of Water Resources Section 401 Certifications are required for any impacts to
jurisdictional streams or wetlands. Temporarily disturbed wetland areas should be returned to original

soils and contours, reseeded with annual small grains appropriate for the season (e.g., oats, millet, rye,
wheat, or rye grass) and allowed to revert to natural wetland vegetation.
Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any land clearing or construction. The
use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices is strongly
recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is
made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt
fencing that has been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as it impedes the
movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental effects
on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging of gills.
The NCWRC encourages the applicant to consider additional measures to protect aquatic and terrestrial
wildlife species in developing landscapes. The NCWRC's Guidance Memorandum to Address and
Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water
Quality (August 2002;
https://www.ncwildlife.org/conservin /g 2002guidancememorandumforsecondgaandcumulativeimpactspdf
/o en details measures to minimize secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife
resources. In addition, the Green Growth Toolbox
(https://www.ncwildlife.org/conserving/programs/Green-Growth-Toolbox) provides information on
nature -friendly planning that discusses how to address growth while concurrently conserving priority
terrestrial and aquatic habitat.
