Important maintenance procedures: Immediately after the wet detention basin is established, the plants on the vegetated shelf and perimeter of the basin should be watered twice weekly if needed, until the plants become established (commonly six weeks). No portion of the wet detention pond should be fertilized after the first initial fertilization that is required to establish the plants on the vegetated shelf. Stable groundcover should be maintained in the drainage area to reduce the sediment load to the wet detention basin. - If the basin must be drained for an emergency or to perform maintenance, the flushing of sediment through the emergency drain should be minimized to the maximum extent practical. Once a year, a dam safety expert should inspect the embankment. After the wet detention pond is established, it should be inspected once a month and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal County). Records of inspection and maintenance should be kept in a known set location and must be available upon request. Inspection activities shall be performed as follows.

Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. The entire project is presented in this application. All impacts and environmental factors are included as part of this application. No additional impacts are anticipated. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The proposed impacts to the stream are due to grading and fill associated with construction of the ready-mix concrete plant. A 60 inch diameter culvert is proposed to bypass the upstream flows from the north to the south. The project proposes to impact 475 LF of intermittent, unimportant 2.

Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USAGE. Page 5 of 10 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A VIL 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. The existing stream runs directly through the center of the site and for any development of the approved use to take place the majority of the stream will be impacted The proposed development has underdone multiple changes and revisions in an attempt to avoid and minimize impacts to the stream channel. However, due to physical and other environmental site constraints the majority of the existing stream will be impacted by the proposed development Examples of site constraints are as follows: There are only two locations that contain suitable soils for a septic field to be located. Due to the existing topography of the site one of these locations is not feasible. Therefore the location of the septic field is set and can not be relocated to allow for possible site layout revisions in this area Secondly, the site development requires a permit from the North Carolina Division of Air Quality. The acceptable location of the concrete batch plant within in the site is a relatively small area due to property line offset requirements for this type of equipment Due to this set back requirement the proposed concrete plant will be located very close to the existing stream bed Additionally, production facilities that manufacture Ready Mixed Concrete also require a NPDES stormwater and process wastewater discharge permit The requirements of this permit in regards to water quality treatment exceed those of the state and county stormwater programs and require significant surface area for construction of treatment devices All of these requirements have been considered during the development of the proposed site plan in order to minimize impact to the existing stream to the greatest extent practical The stormwater, process wastewater and sanitary wastewater treatment devices the backwater area generated by the existing 30" CMP culvert the proposed building and plant equipment have all been arranged to comply with each of the above referenced permits The size of the bypass Page 6 of 10 culvert has been sized to convey the 100-year storm event and minimize the impact of backwater on the property and stream channel directly upstream. The design concept issues preservation of a 50-foot wide natural area along the eastern boundary and a 25-foot wide natural area along the southern property boundary to help buffer the project's visibility from US 64. The number of points of access to the site has been limited to avoid impacts to the natural buffered areas along the right of way of Three Sisters Road. Concrete curb and gutter has not been used on the western portion of the site in order to convey stormwater runoff as sheet flow to the existing vegetated buffer and roadside swale. The existing hydrology of the stream channel has been maintained with a swale from the discharge point of the proposed bypass culvert to the existing 30-inch CMP culvert to allow the natural flow of stormwater to continue under the railroad tracks. 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 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 USACE 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stmigide.html. 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. Page 7 of 10 Not applicable because the affected stream has been determined by the USACE to be unimportant and DWQ has determined that the feature is not subject to the Neuse River Buffer Regulations. 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 (919) 715-0476 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.us/wrp/index.htm.

Potential impacts to the unimportant channel will not require prior notification or mitigation under NWP 39. Jamie Shern From: Laura.Lang@kimley-horn.com [mailto:Laura.Lang@kimley-horn.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 2:22 PM To: Shern, James F SAW Subject: Jenco Site, Knightdale NC Jamie, I have attached the map from our site visit on January 23, 2007 to the Jenco site at 512 Three Sisters Road, Knightdale, NC. We evaluated one stream on the site, which you determined to be a "5 foot wide, intermittent, unimportant" jurisdictional feature. Additionally, we discussed that impacts to this system would not require mitigation under a Nationwide 39 Permit. Can you concur with the statements made above so as to provide documentation of our meeting and conversation to stick in the project folder? An email response would be fine. The project manager does understand that this is not a final jurisdictional determination as you are not currently issuing JDs. Thanks!!

Channel sinuosity: -Straight X Occasional bends -Frequent meander -Very sinuous -Braided channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 52 Comments: Stream quality assessed by Laura Lang of Kimle -Horn and Associates Inc. and Jamie Shern USACE during on-site evaluation January 23, 2007. Stream was determined to be "intermittent unimportant". Evaluator's Signature: Laura Lang Date: January 23 2007 This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change - version 06/03.
