Page 2 of 3
PROPOSED PROJECT: The proposed townhouse development project
known as Blanche Drive Townhomes will consist of 36 to 38 townhomes on the
7.05 -acre parcel. The townhomes will be 24 feet wide, three stories tall, and
include a two -car garage. The proposed project will be developed by Lennar
Carolinas, LLC. The townhome development will include private streets with
common access and a single above -ground stormwater control device.
NEW SANITARY SEWER CONNECT IMPACTS: To obtain sanitary sewer
service for the proposed townhome community, it will be necessary to connect
the development to the existing sewer line that runs through Zones 1 and 2 of the
Neuse buffer along Richland Creek. The new sewer connection will cause 320 sf
of permanent buffer impacts to Zone 2 of the Neuse buffer. There are +/- 895 sf
of Neuse buffer within the proposed limits of disturbance that have been
previously impacted by the existing sanitary sewer easement. No impacts to
streams or wetlands are proposed. All the newly proposed impacts are deemed
allowable according to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules Table of
Uses.

DIFFUSE FLOW: Since the proposed project is located with the Neuse River
Basin, it is subject to the diffuse flow requirements. Diffuse flow is being
achieved through construction of a wet pond which will remove at least 30%
nitrogen. Additionally, the proposed facility has been sized such that post -
development peak flow rates are no greater than pre -development levels in the
1-, 2-, 5-, and 10 -year storm events.
Consideration of this project is greatly appreciated. If you should have any
questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of
this application:
The site is located on the south side of Blanche Drive north of the intersection of 1-40 and US -54 in southwest
Wake County. The 7.05 -acre subject property is currently owned by MS Holding Company LLC.
The entire property is forested. Richland Creek flows northeast across the southeast portion of the property. The site
has an established canopy of mixed hardwoods and pines. There is an existing sewer easement on the site that runs
parallel to Richland Creek within Zones 1 and 2 of the Neuse buffer.
As per the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service's (NRCS) Soil
Survey for Wake County, the soils located on the Property are composed primarily of Appling and Chewacla sandy
loam and Appling gravelly sandy loam. Appling sandy loam and gravelly sandy loam are well -drained soils that have
moderately high to high permeability. Chewacla sandy loam is a somewhat poorly drained soil that has moderate
permeability.
The Property is situated in the piedmont region of North Carolina. The elevation of the Property ranges from t 404 to
t 478 feet above sea level (asl). The only stream feature on site is Richland Creek (C; NSW), which flows through
the eastern side of the property within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201) for approximately 500 linear feet.
There is also one wetland within the subject property totaling 0.015 acres. Richland Creek is mapped on the Wake
County Soils Survey and the Raleigh West USGS quad map, and is therefore subject to the Neuse River Riparian
Buffer Rules. • A jurisdictional wetland/stream delineation was performed by SEC on January 7, 2016. Ms. Tasha
Alexander (USAGE representative) field verified the delineation on June 15, 2016, and issued a Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination on July 22, 2016 (USACE Action ID: 2016-01303). Laura Robertson (NCDWR
representative) issued a Neuse River Stream Buffer determination on June 16, 2016 (NCDWR Project No. NBRRO
#16-183). See Figures 1-3 for existing condition, and the accompanying Neuse Buffer Determination Letter.
Land use within the vicinity of the project is mainly residential, commercial, and instutional.
3b. Attach an 8'/ x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location
of the site: FIGURE 1
3c. Attach an 8'/ x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the published County NRCS Soil Survey Map
depicting the project site: FIGURE 2
3d. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
The subject property contains approximately 500 linear feet of perennial stream and no intermittent streams.
3e. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide residential housing in southwest Wake County, NC,
3f. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed townhouse development project known as Blanche Drive Townhomes will consist of 36 to 38
townhomes on the 7.05 -acre parcel. The townhomes will be 24 feet wide, three stories tall, and include a two -car
garage. The proposed project will be developed by Lennar Carolinas, LLC. The townhome development will include
private streets with common access and a single above -ground stormwater control device.
NEW SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION IMPACTS (See Figure 4): To obtain sanitary sewer service for the
proposed townhome community, it will be necessary to connect the development to the existing sewer line that runs
through Zones 1 and 2 of the Neuse buffer along Richland Creek. The new sewer connection will cause 320 sf of
permanent buffer impacts to Zone 2 of the Neuse buffer. There are +/- 895 sf of Neuse buffer within the proposed
limits of disturbance that have been previously impacted by the existing sanitary sewer easement. No impacts to
streams or wetlands are proposed. All the newly proposed impacts are deemed allowable according to the Neuse
River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules Table of Uses.

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.
Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and streams have been completely avoided while impacts to riparian buffers have
been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques.
The design is for high density but all proper sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented. The
design includes a stormwater management facility to minimize runoff.
To minimize damage to existing trees, tree protection fence shall be maintained on the site until all site work is
completed and the final site inspection is scheduled.
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and
installation as described in the Erosion Control Plan sheet reviewed and approved by the Town of Cary. All work
will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -jurisdictional, stable ground adjacent
to the Neuse Buffer. The contractor shall install silt fence, inlet protection, sediment traps, diversion ditches, tree
protection, clearing only as necessary to install these devices. All erosion and sediment control measures will be
checked for stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once every
week. Any needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control
inspections report is required and will be kept by the owner's representative.
Temporary seeding and permanent seeding plans are included to restore most of the buffer areas which will not
be permanently impacted by the new sanitary sewer connection.
2. Buffer Mitigation

2d. If yes, attach the acceptance letter from the mitigation bank or NC EEP.
2e. If no, then discuss what type of mitigation is proposed.
2f. Comments:

E. Diffuse Flow Plan
All buffer impacts and high ground impacts require diffuse flow or other form of ® Diffuse flow
stormwater treatment. Include a plan that fully documents how diffuse flow will be ❑ Other BMP
maintained. If a Level Spreader is proposed, attach a Level Spreader Supplement Form.
Since the proposed project is located with the Neuse River Basin, it is subject to the diffuse
flow requirements. Diffuse flow is being achieved through construction of a wet pond which
will remove at least 30% nitrogen. Additionally, the proposed facility has been sized such that
post -development peak flow rates are no greater than pre -development levels in the 1-, 2-, 5-,
and 10-vear storm events.

regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
We strongly suggest you have the wetlands on your property delineated. Due to the size of your property and/or our
present workload, the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner. For a more timely
delineation, you may wish to obtain a consultant. To be considered final, any delineation must be verified by the Corps.
_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been
verified by the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be
reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to
CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be
relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat
signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in the law or our published

(CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or wetlands without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). If you have any questions regarding this
determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Tasha Alexander at 919-554-4884, ext. 35 or
[e-mail].
C. Basis for Determination:
Based on information submitted by the applicant, the project area appears to exhibit criteria for waters of the
U.S. as defined in 33 CFR 328, the JD Guidebook (i.e. Rapanos Guidance), the 1987 Wetland Delineation
Manual, and the Regional Supplement to the 1987 Manual: Eastern Piedmont and Mountains v2.0. The
approximate boundaries of the potential waters of the U.S. are depicted on the may submitted on June 15, 2016
labeled Blanche Drive Site.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the
particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation
provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following.: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R_ 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Explanation: Richlands Creek is present on the USGS Topographic Map as well as the Soil
Survey Map of Wake County, North Carolina. Sage has determined that the stream is perennial.
The stream does not start or stop on the property. Stream B is an ephemeral channel that is
present to the south of the site. if B had been subject to buffers, the buffer area would have
included some of the southwest corner of the site.
There may be other streams located on your property that do not show up on the maps referenced
above but, still may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers
and/or to the Division of Water Resources (DWR).
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or
affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR or Delegated Local Authority
may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60)
days of date of this letter or from the date the affected parry (including downstream and/or
adjacent owners) is notified of this letter. A request for a determination by the Director shall be
referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWR WeBSCaPe Unit, 1650 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699.
This determination is final and binding unless, as detailed above, you ask for a hearing or appeal
within sixty (60) days.
The owner/future owners should notify the Division of Water Resources (including any
other Local, State, and Federal Agencies) of this decision concerning any future
correspondences regarding the subject property (stated above). This project may require
a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries should be directed to the
Division of Water Resources (Central Office) at (919)-807-6300, and the US Army Corp of
Engineers (Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at (919)-554-4884.
If you have questions regarding this determination, please feel free to contact Laura Robertson at
