Re: Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54) Improvements at Fairbanks Road - NWP 14 Modification Request
Cary, Wake County
Corps AID#2015-01667
NCDWR Proj #20160297
WR Project #02150037.10
Dear Ms. Alexander and Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of Meritage Homes, we are requesting a modification to the previously issued NWP 14 and
NCDWR 401 WQC & Buffer Authorization for authorization of additional impacts resultingfrom revisions to
the culvert extension design as required by NCDOT. The current request is for 102 If of permanent stream
impacts and 7,474 sf of permanent Neuse River riparian buffer impacts. The proposed modification will result
in an additional 12 If of permanent stream impacts and an additional 95 sf of riparian buffer impacts above
the previously authorized impacts.
The proposed project consist of the improvements to ±600 If of Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54) at the
intersection of Chapel Hill Road and Fairbanks Rd, in Cary, Wake County (Latitude: 35.040°N; Longitude: -
78.8052°W). The project is located in the Neuse River basin and onsite waters drain to Coles Branch. The
Water Quality Classification for Coles Branch is C; NSW and the Stream Index Number is: 27-33-3. The
cataloging unit for the site is 03020201.
Proposed Project
The purposed of the proposed project is for improvements to widen Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54) at the
existing curve at Fairbanks Rd to meet the requirements of the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO), NCDOT and Town of Cary. Currently, the existing curve in Chapel Hill
Road (NC Hwy 54) is too sharp/tight and does not meet the minimum curve radius requirements. Meritage
Homes is being required to construct the road improvements to bring Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54) into
compliancewith the requirements of AASHTO, NCDOT and Town of Cary. The proposed road improvements
are being required by the Town of Cary as part of the site plan approval for the Park West Townes project
(AID SAW-2015-01667). However, the proposed road improvements do not include a turning lane or storage
lane for the Park West Townes project, and does not serve the Park West Townes project in any way or affect
the feasibility or function of the Park West Townes project. Therefore, the impacts from the Chapel Hill Road
improvements are not considered cumulative with the Park West Townes project. The proposed
improvements to Chapel Hill Road are simply improvements to a public road that are being constructed by
Meritage Homes per requirements by the Town of Cary. The Corps of Engineers previously determined that
the proposed improvements to Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54) has independent utility from the Park West
Townes project, which is documented through previous issuance of the NWP 14.
The proposed road improvements consist of the widening of the west side of Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54)
to increase the curve radius to bring Chapel Hill Rd into compliance with AASHTO, NCDOT and Town of Cary
road design requirements.

o��F F����,�,�.,� ,�.���� s��-�.
The Corps of Engineers issued a Jurisdictional Determination in conjunction with issuance of the NWP 29 for
the adjacent Park West Townes project (AID: 2015-01667), which includes the Chapel Hill Road
Improvements project area.
NCDWR issued a Buffer Determination for the Park West Townes project (NBRRO#15-234) on 06/01/15,
which includes the Chapel Hill Road Improvements project area. A copy of the buffer determination letter
has been provided as an Appendix.
On April 28, 2016, the Corps of Engineers issued a NWP 14 for the Chapel Hill Road Improvements project
which authorized 90 If of permanent stream impacts (75 If of total loss of Waters of the US). A copy of the
previously issued NWP 14 has been provided as an Appendix.
On April 15, 2016, NCDWR issued a 401 WQC and Buffer Authorization for the Chapel Hill Road
Improvements project which authorized 90 If of permanent stream impacts and 7,379 sf of permanent
impacts to Neuse River Riparian Buffers. A copy of the previously issued 401 WQC & Buffer Authorization
has been provided as an Appendix.
Coordination with the NCDOT was ongoing concurrent with both the Town of Cary Site Plan approval and
404/401 permitting. The previous design for the culvert extension utilized an endwall that minimized the
stream and buffer impacts by limitingthefill slope that is created from the required Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy
54) widening. NCDOT deemed this endwall to be a retaining wall that they will not maintain. In order to
rectify this, the design had to be revised to provide a standard NCDOT endwall that is shorter in height, which
requires the fill slope to be extended further downstream, resulting in additional buffer impacts and stream
impacts. Therefore, we are requesting a modification to the previously issued permits to authorize the
addition stream and riparian buffer impacts resulting from the design revision required by NCDOT.
Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources
The NC State Historic Preservation Office's online database identifies one known historic structure adjacent
to the proposed project limits, approximately 100 If west. The occurrence consists of the Richards House
(WA0719), located at address 9475 Chapel Hill Road. The Richards House is being preserved as a
requirement of the Town of Cary and therefore will not be affected by the proposed development. The
previously issued NWP 14 serves as documentation that the proposed project will not affect historic, cultural
or archeological resources.
Proposed Impacts
As a result of the design revisions required by NCDOT, the proposed impacts consist of 107 If of permanent
stream impacts and 7,474 sf of permanent Neuse River riparian buffer impacts.
Impact 1 will result in 15 If of permanent impacts to Stream 1 from installation of rip-rap within the stream
below the culvert to prevent erosion of the channel and undercutting of the culvert. The proposed impacts
for the rip-rap dissipator are the same as previously permitted.
Impact 2 will result in 87 If of permanent impacts to Stream 1 from extension of the existing culvert as needed
for widening of the existing road. This results in an additional 12 If of permanent stream impacts above the
75 If of previously permitted permanent stream impacts.
The proposed 7,474 sq ft of permanent riparian buffer impacts (Zone 1: 4,657 sq ft; Zone 2: 2,817 sq ft) will
occur from widening of the road, which is a perpendicular road crossing impacting less than 1/3 acre of
buffers, which is "Allowable". The required revision to the design will result in an additional 95 sf of riparian
buffer impacts above the 7,379 sf of previously permitted riparian buffer impacts.

The proposed project consists of the widening of Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54) to bring the curve at
Fairbanks Rd into compliance with AASHTO, NCDOT and Town of Cary road design requirements.
Therefore, design alternatives to further minimize impacts to streams and buffers were not possible.
Additionally, NCDOT requirements have resulted in design revisions that now require additional stream and
riparian buffer impacts above what was previously permitted.
The rip-rap dissipator at Impact 1 has been designed for the rip-rap to be installed so that the top of the rip-
rap matches the pre-construction elevation of the stream bed. This design allows for the impacted stream
areas to continue functioning as a natural stream by maintaining natural water depths and allowing for
passage of aquatic life, which will not result in a loss of stream function.
Mitigation
Stream Mitigation
The proposed permanent intermittent stream impacts are less than 150 If, and therefore, stream mitigation
is not proposed.
Buffer Mitigation
The proposed 7,474 sq ft of permanent riparian buffer impacts will occur for a perpendicular road crossing,
which will impact less than 1/3 acre of buffers. Therefore, this activity is "Allowable", and mitigation is not
required.
The current request is for 102 If of permanent stream impacts and 7,474 sq ft of permanent Neuse River
riparian buffer impacts (see the attached maps and PCN for details).
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed project consists of the widening of Chapel Hill Road (NC Hwy 54) to bring the curve at Fairbanks Rd into
compliance with AASHTO, NCDOT and Town of Cary road design requirements. Therefore, design alternatives to further
minimize impacts to streams and buffers were not possible. Additionally, NCDOT requirements have resulted in design
revisions that now require additional stream and riparian buffer impacts above what was previously permitted.
The rip-rap dissipator at Impact 1 has been designed for the rip-rap to be installed so that the top of the rip-rap matches the
pre-construction elevation of the stream bed. This design allows for the impacted stream areas to continue functioning as a
natural stream by maintaining natural water depths and allowing for passage of aquatic life, which will not result in a loss of
stream function.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Silt fencing will be installed around all disturbed areas to prevent sediment from escaping into adjacent wetlands and streams.
Construction access will be provided through uplands.

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 https://ncnhde.natureserve.orq/content/map 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. There is no anticipated tree removal necessary for the widening of Chapel Hill Rd (NC Hwy
54), and therefore, WR concludes that the project will have "No EffecY' the northern long-eared bat, and consultation with
the USFWS is not anticipated.
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 in Wake County designated as essential fish habitat.
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?
The NC State Historic Preservation Office's online database identifies one known historic structure adjacent to the
proposed project limits, approximately 100 If west. The occurrence consists of the Richards House (WA0719), located at
address 9475 Chapel Hill Road. The Richards House is being preserved as a requirement of the Town of Cary and
therefore will not be affected by the proposed development. The previously issued NWP 14 serves as documentation
that the proposed project will not affect historic, cultural or archeological resources.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? ❑ Yes � No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements: www.ncfloodmaps.com
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the NCDWR and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the
new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying
with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total
impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). Additional buffer impacts may require compensatory mitigation
as described in 15A NCAC 2B.0233. For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in
the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. All riparian buffers impacted by the p!acement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the
preconstruction contours and revegetated. Mainhained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-woody
species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this condition,
maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to regular NCDOT
maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non-maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with
native woody species before the next growing season following completion of construction. [ 15A NCAC 2B..0233]
2. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2B.0233(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be pIaced in Zone 1 of any
Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWR At this time, the NCDWR has approved no sediment and
erosion controI devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover,
sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not
compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
3. For any streams being impacted due to site dewatering activities, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and revegetated with appropriate native species. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(bx2)]
4. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be dischazged to
surface waters due to the p�tential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. [15A NCAC 02B.02001
5. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
6. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. [ I SA NCAC 02H.0506(bx2)]
7. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shaIl be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for s�eam
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage. [1 SA
NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
8. T'he Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings
submitted for approval. [15A NCAC 02H .0507 (c) and 15A NCAC OZH .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)]

the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. [15A NCAC
02H.0�06(b)(3) and (cx3)]
10. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. [ 15A NCAC 02H.0506(bx3)]
11. All mechanized equipment operated neaz surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fi:els, lu�ricants, hydrauiic fluids, or other toxic mate:ials. [15A NCAC
02H.0506(b)(3)]
12. No rcck, sand or other materials shall be ciredged from the s�ream channel except where authorized by this
certification. [15A NCAC 02H.050h(b)(3)]
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseedets and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohibited. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
14, The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If the NCDWR determines that such standards or laws aze not being

further conditions are necess2ry to assure compliance, the NCDWR may reevaluate and modify this certification. [ 15A
NCAC 02B.0200j
15. A copy of this Water Qualiry Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the on-site project
manager. [ 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)]
16. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be cleazly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbiug activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification. [15A NCAC 02H.0501 and .0502]
17. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes, rules,

BUFFER DETERMINATION ISSUED BY NCDWR ON 06/01/2015 (NBRRO #15-234)
WETLANDS SURVEYED BY WITHERSRAVENEL, INC., 2015
Impact Justification Statement
The purpose of these proposed stream impacts is to widen NC Highway 54 per
Town of Cary Comprehensive Transportation plan requirements. The area of
widening creates a fill slope that extends into existing Neuse River Buffers and
a stream. Due to the location of the existing stream and buffers, impact
avoidance cannot be achieved, but wiil be minimized to the most practical
extent possible.
All construction shall be in accordance with the Town of Cary, NCDENR, NCDWR
and USACOE appiicable standards and specifications.
