This application is submitted on behalf of CRP - Fayetteville Ramsey, LLC for the construction of a commercial/retail center in Fayetteville, NC that will contain approximately 113,000 square feet of commercial/retail space to include a grocery store, additional retail space, and a gas station. Total proposed impacts are to 622 LF of intermittent stream and 0.01 acre of 404 wetlands. The project area is located within the Cape Fear River Basin and is 19.7 acres in size. Even though stream impacts exceed 300 LF, it is our understanding that the USACE will process this application request as a Nationwide Permit because of the low quality of the majority of the channel to be impacted. To mitigate for impacts to the high quality stream (158 LF) and for the small amount of wetland impacts (0.01 ac), the applicant proposes purchasing stream credits from the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services at a 2:1 mitigation to impact ratio (316 LF of stream credit). The PCN form, project narrative, associated maps, and site plan are enclosed for your review. The DWR application fee of $570 is also enclosed. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance with this project.

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Impacts were minimized as much as possible through careful site design However, the intermittent stream channel runs up through the middle of the property and then parallels Ramsey Street. It was impossible to develop this tract without impacting a large amount of this channel. This channel receives a great deal of stormwater from adjacent areas and is heavily incised and undercut. The USACE evaluated the channel using their Stream Assessment Methodology (SAM) and found that the majority of the channel to be impacted is low quality. The engineer has curved the roadway that connects into Shawcroft to allow for additional queuing as warranted within the TIA and the stacking lengths for this signal. The wetland impact is needed for grading down to the larger wetland area on the site. This would help avoid a retaining wall within this section as well as maintain the area needed for stormwater retention. lb Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques Silt fencing will be used during construction to reduce sediment from eroding into adjacent wetlands and streams 2.

What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? The NC Natural Heritage Program GIS layer was used to determine the presence of federally -listed species. Two current occurrences (observed within the last twenty years) of rare species have been documented within a one mile radius of the site The Southern chorus frog (Pseudacris nignta, State -listed SR) was last observed in 1995. The red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis, Federally and State -listed E) was last observed in 2009. This RCW population is located approximately one mile northwest of the site. There are also two historical occurrences of the red -cockaded woodpecker located approximately 0 5 mile northwest of the site No RCWs or RCW cavities were observed within the project area The site is mostly forested and contains a mixed canopy of loblolly pines and hardwoods Although it is a walkable site, the understory and shrub layer may be too dense for the RCW. Additionally, the site is surrounded by development and is likely too small and fragmented to provide appropriate habitat for this species There is a great deal of development between the project area and the known RCW cluster and it is unlikely that RCWs would travel to a noncontiguous area a mile away to reach this site. 6.

Total proposed impacts are to 622 LF of intermittent stream and 0.01 acre of 404 wetlands. The project area is located within the Cape Fear River Basin and is 19.7 acres in size. Even though stream impacts exceed 300 LF, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has agreed to process this application request as a Nationwide Permit because of the low quality of the majority of the channel to be impacted. PURPOSE & NEED The applicant's purpose and need for the project is to develop an economically viable regional shopping destination located off of Ramsey Street in the northern part of Fayetteville, NC (Cumberland County). The project will accommodate a grocery store, a gas station, and several smaller retail shops. The project area is surrounded by residential development and a retail shopping center of this nature is greatly needed. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The 19.7 -acre project area is located off of Ramsey Street in Fayetteville, NC (Cumberland County) (Figures 1 & 2). The project area consists of eight (8) separate parcels. According to the Cumberland County Generalized Soil Survey, uplands within the site are classified as Gilead loamy sand, Blaney loamy sand, and Vauduse loamy sand. (Figure 3). Wetlands within the site are shown as Johnston loam. Most of the project area is currently undeveloped and forested. However, there are a few structures present. A home sales center is located at the corner of Shawcroft Road and Ramsey Street 1 I and several residential homes are located off of Ramsey Street. A site delineation of jurisdictional areas was performed by ECS, Inc. and was approved by Mr. Brennan Dooley of the USACE in the field on in October of 2015. Both Mr. Dooley and Mr. Chad Turlington of the NC Division of Water Resources determined the limits of perennial and intermittent streams within the site. The site contains one perennial stream near the northwestern project boundary. Three intermittent channels extend off of the perennial stream. Additionally, 3.66 acre of wetlands exists adjacent to the perennial stream. The 404 wetlands support a canopy of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) with water oak (Quercus nigra) in the understory and shrub layer and switch cane (Arundinaria tecta) and catbrier (Smilax spp.) in the herbaceous layer. Forested uplands support a canopy of loblolly pine, with sparse understory and shrub layers of turkey oak (Q. laevis), water oak, and black jack oak (Q. marilandica). Many of the pine trees have a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 12" to 20". Except for the stream/wetland finger that runs through the northwestern part of the site, the project area is surrounded by development. Single-family and multi -family neighborhoods surround the site, with some retail shops and churches also located along Ramsey Street in this area. Highway NC 295 was recently constructed less than 0.5 mile to the north of the site. According to the topographic quadrangle for this area, the perennial stream located within the northwestern portion of the site is McPherson Creek (Wooded Lake). This creek flows northeast under Ramsey Street, connects into Carver's Creek, which then flows into the Cape Fear River. McPherson Creek is classified by the NC Division of Water Resources as WS -IV, B. Class B waters are protected for uses such as fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, agriculture as well as both primary and secondary forms of recreation. Primary recreational activities include swimming, skin diving, water skiing, and similar uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an organized manner or on a frequent basis. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. Water Supply IV (WS -IV) is given to waters used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS -I, II or III classification is not feasible. WS -IV waters are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds or Protected Areas. 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION This site plan consists of constructing a total of 113,000 sf of leasable space including a grocery store, gas station, and several smaller retail shops (Figure 5). The proposed layout offers the least amount of impact while still maintaining the required access configuration and enough gross leasable area (GLA) to render the project economically viable. The applicant has designed the site to contain between 4 and 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of building, which is a typical required minimum on retail developments of this size. The stormwater BMPS will be located in the northern and western parts of the site, adjacent to the wetland and stream system. Impacts were minimized as much as possible through careful site design. However, one of the intermittent stream channels on site runs up through the middle of the property and then parallels Ramsey Street. It was impossible to develop this tract without impacting a large amount of this channel. The placement of the roadway that connects into Shawcroft Road was dictated by the need for additional queuing as warranted within the TIA and the stacking lengths for the signal at Shawcroft Road and Ramsey Street. The proposed wetland impact is needed for grading down to the larger wetland area on the site. This will help avoid a retaining wall within this section as well as maintain the area needed for stormwater retention. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Direct Impacts The proposed project would permanently impact 622 LF of intermittent stream and 0.01 acre of 404 wetlands (Figure 5). Using the Stream Assessment Methodology, the USACE determined that 464 LF of the channel to be impacted is classified as Low Quality and 158 LF of the channel is classified as High Quality. Indirect Impacts Indirect impacts to wetlands and water quality will be minimized by the development and implementation of a Stormwater Plan and a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. These plans will reduce the potential for erosion or runoff into wetlands and other water bodies located off site. 3 Resources Affected Tyler Crumbley and Emily Greer of the USACE evaluated the channel to be impacted utilizing their Stream Assessment Methodology (SAM) protocol. The channel was divided into two assessment reaches: Reach 1, which extended from the culvert under Ramsey Street to Survey flag SC10 (464 LF), and Reach 2, which extended from Survey flag SC 10 down to the channel's confluence with the main stem of McPherson Creek (245 LF). Reach 1 was found to have an overall Low rating. The hydrology, water quality, and habitat ratings were low, due to the large amount of stormwater run-off that the channel receives from surrounding areas. This large amount of flow is causing the channel to become deeply incised (15+ ft deep in sections). The bottom of the channel has been cut down to the groundwater. Additionally, because of the high velocity of water moving through the channel, there is little aquatic in -stream habitat available. Reach 1 did have a wooded buffer on both sides of the channel, so it rated high for stream -side habitat. Reach 2 had an overall High rating. Hydrology and habitat rated high, while water quality rated medium. This reach is farther removed from source point of the stormwater, so it is less incised than Reach 1. Evidence of sediment sorting was observed. Geomorphology, such as riffles and pools, was observed and it was found to provide habitat for some aquatic fauna. The flow that this channel receives will be rerouted to connect into the stormwater system on site. After treatment, stormwater will outlet into the existing wetlands and stream system. Therefore, a hydrologic connection to downstream waters will be maintained. As noted above, Reach 1 (the first 464 LF of the channel) does not provide aquatic fauna habitat. Therefore, none will be lost by rerouting this section of the channel. Reach 2 does provide some aquatic fauna habitat and there will be permanent losses to 158 LF of this section of the channel. Furthermore, the heavy stormwater flow is continuously eroding the banks of the channel, and a great deal of sediment is being washed downstream. Rerouting the flow to a stormwater pond for treatment will greatly reduce the sediment that flows to McPherson Creek, which may have an overall beneficial effect on water 4 I quality to this stream system. Based on this information, we believe that the proposed project will have minimal adverse effects. MITIGATION The applicant has attempted to avoid and minimize wetland impacts as much as possible during the site design. Because Reach 1 is considered to be a low functioning stream with no aquatic fauna habitat and poor water quality, we believe no mitigation should be required for impacts to this section of the channel. Furthermore, funneling water from the culvert under Ramsey Street into a stormwater treatment system will improve the overall water quality of McPherson Creek. Reach 2 scored a high quality rating and does contain stream geomorphology and aquatic fauna habitat. To mitigate for stream impacts to Reach 2 (158 LF) and for the small amount of wetland impacts (0.01 ac), we propose purchasing stream credits from the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services at a 2:1 mitigation to impact ratio (316 LF of stream credit). 5 'Boundaries are approximate and are not meant to be absolute.
