RE: Pre-Construction Notification for Whispering Pines Subdivision
USACE AID# 200521019 OJT=
DWQ Project # TPBRRO 05-111
M?`?' ? ? 2,006
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer and Ms. Karoly,
pENt+ • V4ATiri1 ?? A?ITYt'31
Please find attached, the completed Pre-Construction Notification Application or proposed
stream, wetland, and Tar-Pamlico riparian buffer impacts associated with Whispering Pines Subdivision,
located in Franklinton, Franklin County, North Carolina. The Franklin County tax PIN for the property is
1864-28-6200. The site covers 155.03 acres east of Hicks Road (SR 1125) and south of Cedar Creek Road
(SR 1116) and is located in the Tar-Pamlico river basin. Included with this application are detailed
drawings depicting the proposed impacts as well as site layout and preliminary utility and drainage
construction drawings for the subdivision.
Site concurrence was held with Mr. Mike Horan of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) and a Tar-Pamlico Buffer Determination was issued on June 23, 2005. Site concurrence was held
with Ms. Andrea Wade of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). A Jurisdictional Determination was
issued my Mr. Thomas Brown of the USACE on July 11, 2005. This is the first application for this
property and covers impacts related to the installation of two proposed stream crossings by residential
streets. A second application is anticipated for impacts associated with the remainder of the subdivision.
This second application will include detailed drainage calculations, storm drainage design, and site erosion
control and grading.
The design of the proposed project involved extensive avoidance and minimization during the
subdivision layout and planning stage. There are five stream-wetland complexes on the site, as well as the
floodplain for Cedar Creek along the southern property boundary. The layout for the streets and lots was
oriented to completely avoid these complexes. Several additional stream crossings were removed from the
initial subdivision layouts to avoid impacts to those streams. The two unavoidable impacts were necessary
for several reasons.
The first impact, Tanglebriar Trail is the main subdivision entrance from Hicks Road. The design
of the Hicks road crossing was limited by several factors. First, due to Hicks Road being at 3.43%
superelevation, the slope of Tanglebriar Trail from Hicks Road was limited to 4.67% to meet NC DOT
requirements regarding rollover angle. Due to the length of Tanglebriar Trail, the minimum slope at
Fernspring Drive was limited to 5%. These two restrictions create a fill situation at the stream crossing that
cannot be altered.
Phone: (919) 85+7990 ? Fax: (919) 85+7925 ? 972 Trinity Road ? Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
The second impact, Raccoon Run Lane, is necessary to provide access to the northwestern section
of the property. Although this area of the property does have an access point from Cedar Creek Road, the
current location is the only possible crossing point to provide access to the remainder of the subdivision.
The location of the impact is limited by street radius requirements. The impact is also limited by the cover
requirement for Raccoon Run Lane over the culvert. This requirement increases the elevation of the street
surface and creates fill requirements along the right-of-way.
The resulting proposed impact totals are:
Permanent Wetland Impacts
Accumulated area: 189 sgft (0.0043 acres)
Permanent Stream Impact: 151 If
775 sqft (0.0178 acres)
Temporary Stream Impact: 23 If
85 sgft (0.0019 acres)
Permanent Neuse River Buffer Impact - Zone 1
Accumulated area: 9,264 sqft (0.2127 acres)
Permanent Neuse River Buffer Impact - Zone 2
Accumulated area: 4,758 sgft (0.1092 acres)
Temporary Neuse River Buffer Impact - Zone 2
Accumulated area: 444 sgft (0.0102 acres)
As compensatory mitigation for stream impacts, we propose payment to the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program's (EEP) In-Lieu-Fee Program. We have submitted for approval from
EEP and have not received it at the time of this submittal. When approval is received, it will be forwarded
to the USACE and the DWQ.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions, comments or concerns about this application.
Thank you in advance for your time spent reviewing this permit application.
Sincerely,
Shawn F. Guyer, E.LT

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.
The design of the proposed project involved extensive avoidance and minimization during
the subdivision layout and planning stage. There are five stream-wetland complexes on the site,
as well as the floodplain for Cedar Creek along the southern property boundary. The layout for
the streets and lots was oriented to completely avoid these complexes. Several additional stream
crossings were removed from the initial subdivision Iayouts to avoid impacts to those streams.
Two unavoidable impacts were necessary for several reasons.
The first impact, Tanglebriar Trail is the main subdivision entrance from Hicks Road. The
design of the Hicks road crossing was limited by several factors. First, due to Hicks Road being
at 3.43% superelevation, the slope of Tan lebriar Trail from Hicks Road was limited to 4.67% to
meet NC DOT requirements regarding rollover angle. Due to the length of Tanglebriar Trail, the
minimum slope at Fe=ring Drive was limited to 5%. These two restrictions create a fill
situation at the stream crossing that cannot be altered.
The second impact, Racoon Run Lane, is necessary to provide access to the northwestern section
of the property. Although this area of the property does have an access point from Cedar Creek
Road, the current location is the only possible crossing point to provide access to the remainder
Page 10 of 14
of the subdivision. The location of the impact is limited by street radius requirements. The
impact is also limited by the cover requirement for Racoon Run Lane over the culvert. This
requirement increases the elevation of the street surface and creates fill requirements along the
right-of-Way.
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
1ittp://1i2o. enr. state. nc.us/newetlands/strmgide. html.
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.
Compensatory mitigation will be made throu hg_payment to the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program's In-Lieu-Fee Program..
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
