Request for Buffer Compliance -Courtesy Notification for 404/401 ~OIJRTESY
W&R Project Number - 02060701.00
~s®~~
Dear Mr. Shern and Ms. Karoly,
On behalf of the Town of Cary, we are requesting authorization from the USACE and
the NC-DWQ to construct a greenway that will impact wetlands and riparian buffers.
The proposed alignment is located 300o feet north-west of the intersection of West
Lake Rd (SR 1387) and Optimist Farm Rd(SR i39o) (Latitude: 35.67OO542°N and
Longitude: 78.7646422°W) in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina (see attached USGS
Qudrangle). An unnamed tributary to Camp Branch Creek will be bridged by the
greenway trail. The Water Quality Classification for these features is "C-NSW". The
Stream Index Number is 27-43-15-5 and the Hydrologic Unit Code is 03020201.
Project History
On September i3, 2006, Withers and Ravenel conducted a detailed wetland
delineation and riparian buffer evaluations on the Middle Creek Tract. Data forms are
included with the attachments in support of our delineation.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed impacts consist of 3974 square feet (o.o92acres) of jurisdictional
wetlands and 0.078 acres of riparian buffer (21:1,323 SF, 22:2,103 SF) for the
installation of a greenway trail. Impacts are summarized on the overall impact map
and in the PCN form.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to finalizing the proposed corridor, the applicant requested that a detailed
wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and 'waters' could be
minimized. Parallel impacts to the riparian buffer could not be avoided because of
the adjacent homes. In order to minimize impacts, the applicant will cross the creek
using a bridge rather than a culvert.

Mitigation
Because the wetland impacts are less than o.i acres, no mitigation is proposed for
this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP.
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
WITHERS & RAVENEI, inc.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site
layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were
minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be
followed during construction to reduce impacts. Prior to finalizing the proposed corridor, the applicant
requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and `waters'
could be minimized. Parallel impacts to the riparian buffer could not be avoided because of the adjacent
homes. In order to minimize impacts, the applicant will cross the creek using a bride rather than a
culvert.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
Page 5 of 8

aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httpa/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strngide.ht~nl.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Because the impacts are below the notification thresholds, the applicant does not believe
that mitigation will be required. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes ~ayment to
the NC-EEP.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http:/~`h2o.enr.state.nc.usiwip/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ^ No
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether aNEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ^ No
Page 6 of 8

3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ^ No
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DVVQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
snap, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), l5A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) l5A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ~ No ^
2. If "yes'', identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
if buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.
* Impact I Required
Zone ______ r__,~ Multiplier „~,,,,__,,___
I 1,323 3 (2 for Catawba) NA
2 2,103 l .5 NA
Total I 3,426 I I NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. NA
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level. NA
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Page 7 of 8

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.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ^ No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: Much of
the surrounding area has already been developed; therefore we do not believe that this project
will lead to additional development or impact downstream water quality. During construction
the applicant will utilize BMP's to prevent sediment from entering streams or wetlands.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Applicant/Agent's Signature Date
