Re: Partin Place Subdivision (Wake County - Neuse River Basin)
Additional Information Request
Dear Ms. Karoly / Mr. McMillan:
MAY 3 0 2008
DEW.VAIERQUAul -Y
WETLrosaN° Taw Asa
This letter is in response for your May 1, 2008 request for additional information on the Partin
Place Subdivision application submitted on April 23, 2008. The requested information is shown
below.
1. Full size plan sheets at 1"=50' with topographic contours are attached.
2. The detail cross section of the culverts under the road crossing show them being placed
6 inches below wetland grade.
3. Inventory of proposed impervious areas is shown at the bottom of Sheet 1.
4. Building envelopes are shown for all proposed lots.
5. Zone I and Zone 2 of protected riparian buffers are shown as overlays.
6. Stormwater collection and drainage system for the designed streets and lots are shown
on the plats.
7. Detailed impervious area calcs for each for each drainage area are shown at the bottom
of Sheet 1.
Also attached is a revised figure for Impact Area 2 and PCN. The areas for wetland and buffer
impacts had been inadvertently switched. Therefore, the wetland impacts for Area 2 are 5,300 sgft
and the buffer impacts are 3,600 sqft. Total wetland impacts are adjusted to 0.41 acres and buffer
impacts to 3,600 sgft.
Please call Scott Mitchell or myself if you have any other concerns regarding the PCN application.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Pete Colwell, PWS

III. Project Information
Attach a ,icinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns; rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The project site is an old farm with agricultural fields along
NC 42 and south of the Harrison Place Subdivision. The primary residence and a number of
old barns and sheds are still on the property. Jurisdictional wetlands are located within the
three drainages on the property. There is also a 0.5 acre pond near the northwest corner of the
property that was determined to be non jurisdictional. Traditional land use in the vicinity has
been agricultural, but in recent years has been converting rapidly to residential.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project will install infrastructure necessary to develop a 277 lot subdivision for single-
family homes (roads, water supply, electricity, telephone, etc.). Individual single-family
homes will be constructed by others upon the completion of installation of required
infrastructure. The existing jurisdictional pond will be filled. Equipment used to install
infrastructure includes bull dozers, track-hoe excavators, pans, rollers, pavers, etc.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed work is to convert
the old farm into a residential subdivision. The proposed crossings are needed to gain access
to the western part of the property and to install sewer lines.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. Lia Myott with NCDWQ made an "On-Site Determination for
Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules" on July 13, 2007. The determination
found four stream features that were subject to the buffer rules. The pond was determined to be
isolated.
V. 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.
We are not aware of any future plans for additional development related to this project.
However, there is a corridor on the eastern side of the property site aside for the proposed
Fuquay-Varina Parkway to be developed by the Town of Fuquay-Varina.

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: Proposed impacts include one
road crossing that will cross Wetland A well above the stream feature. The proposed road will
be approximately 90 feet wide because the fill needed for connecting road elevations. Two 48"
inch culverts will be placed under the road fill to provide hydraulic connectivity through the
wetland. The only other impacts are from two sewer line crossings, one across Wetland B and
Stream B, and the other across Wetland E. The sewer line crossings will be buried below
existing grade and the existing grade restored. The sewer line corridor is approximately 20 - 30

Page 5 of 9
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 proposed road crossing is needed to access the property on the west side of Wetland A.
The sewer line crossings are as close to perpendicular as is practicable in making the connection
to the other side of the wetland.
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/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.
Page 6 of 9
No wetland or stream mitigation is anticipated. However, the remaining undisturbed wetland
and streams will be placed in deed restrictions or restrictive covenants to provide future
protection and offered as mitigation if needed.
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.us/wrp/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): None
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): None
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): None

* Zone I 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 213.0242 or.0244, or.0260.
Neuse Buffer impacts resultina from the sewer line crossina are allowable under 15A NCAC
02B .0233.
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.
Assuming? a maximum averaue impervious surface coverage at full build-out of 2.500 ft2 per lot
(includes house, driveway, accessory structures, patios, walkways, etc.) for the smaller lots west
of Impact Area 1 and 4,000 ft2 for the lots east of that road crossing yields 5.9 and 16 acres of
impervious surfaces respectively. That gives a impervious area of 19.7% for the area of smaller
lots and 15.8% for the area of larger lots. Stormwater flows will be allowed to sheetflow into at
non-erosive velocities into adjacent forested areas and wetlands for treatment prior to entering
protected Neuse Buffers.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
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.
Sewage from single-family homes in this proposed residential subdivision will be
disposed of by sanitary sewer.
