Comments/Notes:
Ms Chapman,
Enclosed is our submittal for the Neuse Buffer impacts that Susan Hobbs at our office emailed you about on 6-4-08. This submittal is
only impacting the Neuse riparian buffer. No wetland, stream or open water impacts are being proposed.
The site is the existing 262 acre Prestonwood golf course located in Cary. The proposed work to be done is the addition of a 740 sf
restroom located adjacent to the golf cart path. The restroom includes a covered area that golf carts can pull into to provide shelter
from the weather.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us at 919-481-2021 or bheal etd a. coi p g (r-"

Dear Sir or Madam,
This submittal is only impacting the Neuse riparian buffer. No wetland, stream or open
water impacts are being proposed.
The site is the existing 262 acre Prestonwood golf course located in Cary. The proposed
work to be done is the addition of a 740 sf restroom located adjacent to the golf cart path.
The restroom includes a covered area that golf carts can pull into to provide shelter from
the weather.
Although the restroom location is not located within the riparian buffer, the existing golf
cart path is. The only proposed impacts to the buffer are 36 linear feet of golf cart path,
connecting the restroom to the existing cart path. The total area of the buffer to be
impacted is 484 sf, 144 of which are in zone 1 and 340 in zone 2. The buffer impacts are
an exempt use so no mitigation is being proposed.
The entire restroom addition will disturb 1,774 sf of land. No stormwater controls are
being proposed as this is well below the limit for the Neuse Stormwater Program. Water
will be supplied from a service running parallel with the cart path. The sanitary sewer
connection will be made from the existing sewer line running parallel with the stream.
Both proposed water and sewer lines are not inside the riparian buffer.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us at 919-481-2021 or
[e-mail]

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.

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 restroom is located
outside of the riprarian buffer. All impacts to the buffer are a result of the
connection to the existing golf course cart path, located inside of the riprarian buffer.
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.
Page 9 of 12
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/strmaide.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.
No mitigation is being proposed.
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
