Comments: The project avoids all impacts to the Neuse buffers. Page 5 of 15 D. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided & minimized to the maximum extent practicable. The initial conceptual plan proposed fill and development up to the Neuse buffer, to include a wet detention pond within the now verified jurisdictional wetlands. The plans were revised to remove the pond from the wetland area and instead install a very expensive underground sand -filter and stormwater detention device to minimize the wetland impacts. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. As per the project engineer; Standard Erosion Control measures will be incorporated such as silt fencing, inlet protection of all upstream structures and appropriately sized sediment riser basins will be utilized during construction. Post -construction water quality will be protected by means of the underground sand filter and stormwater detention device. 2.

If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. We have reviewed the `Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in-fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and silvicultural operations. The Gatehouse Self-storage project is a private commercial self-storage facility. Additionally, the project is located within the Town of Clayton jurisdiction, therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian buffer area, in addition to "diffuse flow" requirements and could require Best Management Practices that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved; 2) the Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit Program, this program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition to post-construction stormwater management requirements. We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement) 4a. 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. Connection to the existing municipal sanitary sewer system. The County/City and State will ensure adequate capacity. Page 9 of 15 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 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? 5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. ❑ Raleigh ❑ Asheville 5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?

A Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is greater than 2 feet B Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is between 1 and 2 feet C Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is less than 1 foot 9. Inundation Duration — assessment area condition metric (skip for non -riparian wetlands) Answer for assessment area dominant landform. A Evidence of short -duration inundation (< 7 consecutive days) B Evidence of saturation, without evidence of inundation C Evidence of long -duration inundation or very long -duration inundation (7 to 30 consecutive days or more) 10. Indicators of Deposition — assessment area condition metric (skip for non -riparian wetlands and all marshes) Consider recent deposition only (no plant growth since deposition). E A Sediment deposition is not excessive, but at approximately natural levels. B Sediment deposition is excessive, but not overwhelming the wetland. C Sediment deposition is excessive and is overwhelming the wetland. 11. Wetland Size — wetland type/wetland complex condition metric Check a box in each column. Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This metric evaluates three aspects of the wetland area: the size of the wetland type (WT), the size of the wetland complex (WC), and the size of the forested wetland (FW) (if applicable, see User Manual). See the User Manual for boundaries of these evaluation areas. If assessment area is clear-cut, select "K" for the FW column. WT WC FW (if applicable) CA CA CA >_ 500 acres CB C B C B From 100 to < 500 acres CC C C C C From 50 to < 100 acres CD C D C D From 25 to < 50 acres CE C E C E From 10 to < 25 acres C F C F C F From 5 to < 10 acres G E; G C G From 1 to < 5 acres CH CH E;H From 0.5 to<1 acre C I C I C I From 0.1 to < 0.5 acre CJ CJ CJ From 0.01 to < 0.1 acre CK CK CK < 0.01 acre or assessment area is clear-cut 12. Wetland Intactness — wetland type condition metric (evaluate for Pocosins only) CA Pocosin is the full extent (>_ 90%) of its natural landscape size. C B Pocosin is < 90% of the full extent of its natural landscape size. 13. Connectivity to Other Natural Areas — landscape condition metric 13a. Check appropriate box(es) (a box may be checked in each column). Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This evaluates whether the wetland is well connected (Well) and/or loosely connected (Loosely) to the landscape patch, the contiguous metric naturally vegetated area and open water (if appropriate). Boundaries are formed by four -lane roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors the width of a four -lane road or wider, urban landscapes, fields (pasture open and agriculture), or water > 300 feet wide. Well Loosely CA CA >_ 500 acres C B CB From 100 to < 500 acres CC E;C From 50 to < 100 acres CD CD From 10 to < 50 acres C E CE < 10 acres F CF Wetland type has a poor or no connection to other natural habitats 13b. Evaluate for marshes only. CYes C No Wetland type has a surface hydrology connection to open waters/stream or tidal wetlands. 14. Edge Effect — wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes and Estuarine Woody Wetland) May involve a GIS effort with field adjustment. Estimate distance from wetland type boundary to artificial edges. Artificial edges include non -forested areas >_ 40 feet wide such as fields, development, roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors and clear -cuts. Consider the eight main points of the compass. Artificial edge occurs within 150 feet in how many directiions? If the assessment area is clear-cut, select option "C." CA 0 CB 1 to E;C 5to8 15. Vegetative Composition — assessment area condition metric (skip for all marshes and Pine Flat) CA Vegetation is close to reference condition in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of appropriate species, with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area. CB Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or clearing. It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata. C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition, or expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non - characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species), or exotic species are dominant in at least one stratum. 16. Vegetative Diversity — assessment area condition metric (evaluate for Non -tidal Freshwater Marsh only) CA Vegetation diversity is high and is composed primarily of native species (<10% cover of exotics). EB Vegetation diversity is low or has > 10% to 50% cover of exotics. CC Vegetation is dominated by exotic species (>50% cover of exotics). 17. Vegetative Structure - assessment area/wetland type condition metric 17a. Is vegetation present? Yes C No If Yes, continue to 17b. If No, skip to Metric 18. 17b. Evaluate percent coverage of assessment area vegetation for all marshes only. Skip to 17c for non -marsh wetlands. CA >- 25% coverage of vegetation C B < 25% coverage of vegetation 17c. Check a box in each column for each stratum. Evaluate this portion of the metric for non -marsh wetlands. Consider structure in airspace above the assessment area (AA) and the wetland type (WT) separately. '�+, I�' ,fir `+� AA WT oFA CA Canopy closed, or nearly closed, with natural gaps associated with natural processes C: CB E;B Canopy present, but opened more than natural gaps v EC CC Canopy sparse or absent o CA CA Dense mid-story/sapling layer CB E;B Moderate density mid-story/sapling layer EC CC Mid-story/sapling layer sparse or absent CA E;A Dense shrub layer t CB CB Moderate density shrub layer 0 E;C CC Shrub layer sparse or absent CA E;A Dense herb layer �5 EB CB Moderate density herb layer _ CC CC Herb layer sparse or absent 18. Snags - wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes) CA Large snags (more than one) are visible (> 12 -inches DBH, or large relative to species present and landscape stability). EB Not 19. Diameter Class Distribution - wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes) CA Majority of canopy trees have stems > 6 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH); many large trees (> 12 inches DBH) are present. CB Majority of canopy trees have stems between 6 and 12 inches DBH, few are > 12 -inch DBH. E C Majority of canopy trees are < 6 inches DBH or no trees. 20. Large Woody Debris - wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes) Include both natural debris and man -placed natural debris. CA Large logs (more than one) are visible (> 12 inches in diameter, or large relative to species present and landscape stability). E:B Not 21. Vegetation/Open Water Dispersion - wetland type/open water condition metric (evaluate for Non -Tidal Freshwater Marsh only) Select the figure that best describes the amount of interspersion between vegetation and open water in the growing season. Patterned areas indicate vegetated areas, while solid white areas indicate open water. CA CB CC CD ^. r �-- •�-._ f`'�- �'•. (' ;•-_,- '�+, I�' ,fir `+� 22. Hydrologic Connectivity - assessment area condition metric (evaluate for riparian wetlands and Salt/Brackish Marsh only) Examples of activities that may severely alter hydrologic connectivity include intensive ditching, fill, sedimentation, channelization, diversion, man-made berms, beaver dams, and stream incision. Documentation required if evaluated as B, C, or D. E;A Overbank and overland flow are not severely altered in the assessment area. F, B Overbank flow is severely altered in the assessment area. CC Overland flow is severely altered in the assessment area. CD Both overbank and overland flow are severely altered in the assessment area.
