May 5, 2016 US Army Corps of Engineers NC -Division of Water Resources Regulatory Field Office 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit Mr. James Lastinger Ms. Karen Higgins 3331 Heritage Trade Drive 1617 Mail Service Center Suite 105 Raleigh, NC 27699 Wake Forest, NC 27587 Re: Legacy Wake Forest - NWP 29 PCN Submittal Corps AID SAW -2012-01402 WR Project #02150116.00 Dear Mr. Lastinger and Ms. Higgins, On behalf of GCI Construction, LLC, we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP 29 for 18 If of permanent stream impacts for construction of the proposed project. We are also requesting a 401 WQC from NCDWR for the above referenced impacts, as well as a Buffer Authorization for 10,706 sf of permanent impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffers. The project is ±26.7 acres in size and is located west of the intersection of Debarmore Street and Durham Rd (NC Hwy 98) in Wake Forest, Wake County (Latitude: 35.9739°N; Longitude: - 78.552°W). The project is located in the Neuse River basin and onsite waters drain to Horse Creek. The Water Quality Classification for Horse Creek is WS -IV; NSW and the Stream Index Number is: 27-12-(2). The cataloging unit for the site is 03020201. Proposed Project The purpose of the proposed project is to construct an apartment complex to meet the demand for rental housing in Wake Forest. The proposed project consists of the construction of nine apartment buildings, an amenity center, parking, a greenway trail, utilities and stormwater management. Project History Onsite wetlands were delineated by WithersRavenel in April 2015, and James Lastinger reviewed the delineation on 05/08/15. At the site review, Mr. Lastinger identified small pockets of wetlands along the stream, which were delineated after the site meeting. The Preliminary JD Form, wetland/upland data forms and JD Inventory Table have been provided as an Appendix. We are requesting issuance of a Preliminary JD in conjunction with the issuance of the NWP 29. NCDWR issued a Buffer Determination Letter for the project site on 05/12/15 (NBRRO #15-199), which has been provided as an Appendix. 1410 Commonwealth Drive, Suite 1011 Wilmington, NC 28403 t: 910.256.9277 1 f: 910.256.2584 1 www.withersravenel.com I License No. C-0832 Cary I Greensboro I Pittsboro I Raleigh I Wilmington Legacy Wake Forest Wake Forest, Wake County Proposed Impacts 10 WithersRavenel Our People. Your Success. The proposed impacts consist of 18 If of permanent stream impacts and 10,706 sf of permanent impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffers. The proposed 18 If of permanent stream impacts (Impact 1) are necessary for installation of a rip - rap dissipator below the outfall of the offsite runoff collection system. Currently, offsite drainage from Durham Rd (NC Hwy 98) drains into the natural crenulation above Stream 1, ultimately flowing into Stream 1. Due to the volume of drainage coming from Durham Rd, this runoff could not be captured in the stormwater management system, as this would have required significant increases in the size of the BMPs, resulting in the loss of buildings and rendering the project unfeasible. Therefore, the offsite drainage will be captured in a piped system, and will discharge into the origin of Stream 1, which mimics the existing drainage conditions. The rip -rap dissipator pad is necessary to dissipate energy and reduce flow to non-erosive rates to avoid erosion within the stream. Impact 2 (Z1: 1,121 sf; Z2: 2,389 sf) will result in riparian buffer impacts for construction of a road crossing to access the eastern uplands and rip -rap dissipator pad. The road had been designed to cross the buffers at a perpendicular angle, and retaining walls have been utilized to stabilize road fill to minimize buffer impacts, as well as avoid stream impacts for the road crossing. The total riparian buffer impacts are less than 1/3 acre, and therefore is Allowable. Impact 3 (Z1: 1,390 sf; Z2: 854 sf) will result in riparian buffer impacts for a utility easement associated with the construction of a perpendicular sewer crossing, which is an Allowable Use. The sewer will be an aerial crossing over the stream, and will not result in stream impacts. Impact 4 (Z1: 1,583 sf; Z2: 1,157 sf) and Impact 5 (Z1: 566 sf; Z2: 511 sf) consists of riparian buffer impacts for construction of the high flow bypass channels for the bio -retention BMPs, which is an Allowable use. Impact 6 (Z1: 459 sf; Z2: 676 sf) will result in riparian buffer impacts for construction of a greenway trail, which is an Allowable use. The greenway trail has been designed to cross the buffers at a perpendicular angle, and an elevated pedestrian bridge will be used to cross the stream to avoid stream impacts. Avoidance and Minimization Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized. Permanent stream impacts have been minimized to only those necessary for a rip -rap dissipator below the outfall of the offsite stormwater runoff collection system. Additionally, all proposed riparian buffer impacts are Allowable. Page 2 of 3 Legacy Wake Forest Wake Forest, Wake County 10 WithersRavenel Our People. Your Success. The site plan has been designed to avoid and minimize impacts through the use of retaining walls to stabilize fill and minimize impacts, as well as the use of an aerial sewer crossing and elevated pedestrian bridge for the greenway to avoid stream impacts. Mitigation Since the proposed permanent stream impacts are less 150 If, no stream mitigation is proposed. All proposed riparian buffer impacts are"Allowable" and therefore buffer mitigation is not required. Stormwater Management Plan The stormwater management plan consists of bio -retention BMPs which will provide TSS and TN removal, and diffuse flow through level spreaders is not required. The stormwater management plan will be reviewed and approved by the Town of Wake Forest. The current request is for 18 If of permanent stream impacts and 10,706 sf of permanent impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffers (see the attached maps and PCN for details).

If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. The proposed project is located within a heavily developed area of Wake Forest, and is located on an oddly shaped property that has significant design constraints. As such, this project is not anticipated to be a catalyst for future development that could impact nearby downstream water quality. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement) 4a. Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. City of Raleigh Sanitary Sewer Page 10 of 12 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or ® Yes ❑ No habitat? 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act ❑ Yes ® No impacts? ❑ Raleigh 5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. ❑ Asheville 5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? WR reviewed the NC Natural Heritage Program database, located at http://www.ncnhp.org/web/nhp/home to identify if there were any known occurrences of endangered species on or near the proposed project. The review of the NHP data did not identify any occurrences of endangered species or critical habitat on the subject property or within 1.0 miles of the project, see attached NCNHP project review letter. Site reviews did not identify any potential habitat for any federally protected species known to occur in Wake County, except for the Northern Long Eared Bat. Potential habitat for the northern Long-eared bat (NLEB) is listed as mature forest with trees over 3" dbh, which is used for roosting during the day. Since the entire project area consists of mature forest over 3" DBH, there is potential northern long eared bat habitat present. The USFWS Final 4(d) rule for the Northern Long -Eared bat specifies that tree removal within the White Nose Syndrome (WNS) Zone is not prohibited as long as it occurs more than 0.25 miles from known hibernacula and does not result in destroying known occupied maternity roost trees, or any other trees within a 150 ft - radius from the maternity tree, during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). The proposed project is not located within 0.25 miles of any known hibernacula, nor is there any known maternity roost trees present on the project. Therefore, WR concludes that the project "may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect" the northern long-eared bat. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ❑ Yes ® No 6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat? There are no waters classified as EFH in Wake County. 7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement) 7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation ❑ Yes ® No status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in North Carolina history and archaeology)? 7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? W&R reviewed the NC State Historic Preservation Office's online database, located at: http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/, to determine if there were any known historic or cultural resources within or in the vicinity of the proposed project. The database review identified one historic structure within the vicinity of the project. Crenshaw Hall (WA 1446), located at 1009 Federal House Avenue, is ±500 If east of the project. Crenshaw Hall is an early 1820's home which has been renovated as an event venue, including paved parking for events. There are forested areas within the Crenshaw Hall property will provide a visual buffer, and Crenshaw Hall will not be impacted by the proposed project.

A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for site-specific surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. The location of the natural areas and conservation/managed areas can be viewed online on the Natural Heritage Data Explorer found at: https://ncnhde.natureserve.org/. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact John Finnegan at john.finnegan e ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8630.

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not necessarily been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for later 'urisdictional determinations.
