Page 5 of 14

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. Impact 1 is a
proposed grading area. Proposed impacts include 6,093.83 square feet of buffer impact and 0.098 acres of wetland
impact. All proposed impacts exist within the pre-existing horse pasture area, currently being maintained as a grass lawn.
The owner, Ms. Lewis, has provided the following narrative explaining her justification and need for the proposed
improvements.
"Justification for Yard Improvements
When I purchased my home I was unaware that the backyard pasture area remained wet and un -walkable most of the time.
Years ago, this area had been a pasture for horses. However, the degree to which the land stayed wet was not made known
to me. The last owner just let the horses use the area with no regard to the area being wet or muddy. 1 do not own horses
and would very much like to be able to walk in the pasture area and use it as a grass lawn. I would like to add a minor
amount of fill to my property to make it a useable backyard that is mowed and well groomed.
I also was unaware that the pasture was a jurisdictional wetland. All of my applications for permits are to avoid fill along the
property line and within 30 feet along Rocky Creek. I have no intention of disturbing the area and I intend to avoid any
disruption to the natural flora and fauna. My impact in this area will be minimal and only to allow enjoyment of this natural
setting. I grew up in this neighborhood, Foxcroft, and love it so much I wanted to buy here myself. I plan on living at this
property for decades to come.
I am intending to use the area as yard and make as little of impact on the land as possible. However, to be able to use this
part of the yard I am applying for fill to be allowed only within the allowable parameters and without disturbing the creek or
wetland areas. 1 am a nature lover and do not intend to harm or impact the land. 1 want to abide by the restrictions while
being allowed to add fill dirt to the property so that the backyard pasture area can be enjoyed and walked.
Sincerely,
Deborah R. Lewis
4304 Long Branch Trail
Raleigh, NC 27604"
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.

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 This
project involves improvements to an existing single-family residential lot subdivision decades ago. We anticipate
that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed.
4.

5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat? The NC -Natural Heritage Programs Data Explorer Map was used to search for elemental occurrences of
federally protected species listed within 1 mile of the project boundaries. It was determined based on the search that
there are no elemental occurrences that are listed as federally Threatened/Endangered within 1 mile of the project
boundaries. Please note the interim 4(d) rule identifies the Northern Long-eared Bat as a Threatened species within
Wake County and a triangle polygon on the southern side of the property resides in Wake County.

9:30 am sounds good.
I met with Doug and Deborah on yesterday morning. Attached are photos taken by Doug on February
29th and photos taken in the same approximate location by me yesterday May 26, 2016. 1 thought
they would be helpful, as they do a pretty good job showing the area has been returned to pre-
existing conditions. The large, pile covered with tarps to the left where the old bard was, is the fill dirt
that Doug had moved out of the buffer. He had it moved onto the concrete slab where the old bard
was and covered in tarps to prevent runoff.
Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend. See you at Deborah's on the 6th

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION/ INTENT TO ENFORCE
NOV-2016-SS-0007
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Violations
Stream Standard Violations
Wake County
To Whom It May Concern,
On March 23, 2016, Cheng Zhang from the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) of the Division of Water
Resources (DWR) conducted a site visit in response to a citizen complaint at the above referenced site.
This site is located in Wake County, North Carolina. The stream impacted is an un -named tributary to
Rocky Creek which is classified as Class C, Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) in the Neuse River Basin.
Accordingly, the following observations and violations were noted during the DWR inspection:
Item I. Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer — Veaetation
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0233 (4) of the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules
requires that Zones 1 and 2 of the riparian buffer remain in vegetation that is undisturbed except for those
uses provided for in Item (6) of this Rule. (Attachment 1, Photographs 1 &2).
• The subject stream is depicted on the Soil Survey of Wake County and USGS Topographic
Map, and was determined on March 23, 2016 to be subject to the Neuse River Riparian
Buffer rules (see enclosed Buffer Determination Letter);
• DWR staff observed that at the time of the site visit, the contractor hired by the property
owner was attempting to pipe and fill a segment of the un -named tributary. Heavy equipment
was used in zones 1 and 2, causing excessive soil disturbance. Earthen fill transported from
off site was placed in the riparian buffer.

Item II. Stream Standards -Removal of Use
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0211 (2) requires that "The waters shall be suitable
for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and
agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-
term basis shall be considered to be violating a water quality standard." (Attachment 1, Photograph 3)
• DWR staff observed approximately 70 linear feet of the unnamed tributary to Rocky
Creek (Feature A), had been impacted. The stream bank had been excavated along
approximately 70 linear feet of stream.
Requested Response:
You are requested to immediately address the below items in writing within 30 days of receipt of
this letter.
1. Stream Restoration Plan Stream Restoration Plan (Excavation) — Explain how you plan to
restore and stabilize the excavated stream bank
2. Riparian Buffer Restoration Disturbed area in the riparian buffer must be restored and
permanently stabilized. Please submit a Riparian Buffer Restoration Plan to include proposed
plant materials, seeding rates and times of planting, to this office for review and approval.
3. Earthen fill Earthen fill placed in zone one buffer must be removed.
4. Schedule Please indicate in your response a detailed schedule with dates explaining when the
restoration will be accomplished.
