Durham, NC 27705

Subject Property: Panther Creek Subdivision
Isolated Wetland Impact - Deemed Permitted approval
DWQ Project Number 03-0710
Durham County

Dear Mr. Morrison:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material
in up to one-tenth (1/10) acre of isolated wetlands in order to construct the Panther Creek
subdivision in Durham County as described in your application date June 20, 2003 with revisions
sent on July 11, 2003, July 29, 2003 and August 15, 2003. This application was complete on
October 23, 2003 when we received notification that you had paid for the Public Notice for this
project.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that your described in your
application. If you change your project, you must notify us and send a new application upon
request. If the property is sold or transferred to a new owner, the new owner must be given a
copy of this approval. If wetland fills (now or in the future) exceed one acre, then compensatory
mitigation may be required. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed
below.
1. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or
exceed those outlined in the most recent version of two manuals,
either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual"
(available from the Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR
Regional or Central Offices). The control practices shall be utilized to
prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality
standard;
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or
waters shall be removed and the natural grade restored after the
Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming
into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4. Measures shall be taken to ensure that the hydrology of any remaining
wetland or isolated classified surface waters is not affected by the
discharge.

5. Any additional impact to isolated wetlands beyond the one-tenth of an
acre approved herein must be accompanied with a revised site plan which
will minimize the impact on the larger isolated wetland area. As noted in
our October 20, 2003 approval, a plan which reconfigures the lot layout
and open space layout would be needed for this additional approval.
6. All conditions of the October 20, 2003 401 Water Quality Certification and
Neuse River Buffer Rules approval from DWQ are hereby incorporated by
reference and must be complied with.

Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this approval and
may result in criminal and/or civil penalties. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this
approval, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box
27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This approval and, its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.

This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under the Isolated
Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300). If you have any questions, please telephone John
Dorney at 919-733-9646 or Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726.

RE: Panther Creek Subdivision - (D02-631) MATER QUALITY
Burton Road
SECTION
Durham, NC
Dear Mr. Dorney,
This letter is being written, as requested by your office to the project developer,
regarding the lot layout on the Panther Creek Subdivision project. It is my understanding
that has been a suggestion made by your office that a few of the lots located in Phase II,
that back up to the large pond, be moved to the "open space" across the street in order to
remove them out of an area that DWQ designated as wetlands and classify this area as
"open space" instead.

The original project layout was designed to meet both the Durham Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance design standards. Specifically the project was designed to satisfy
open space standards for location, usability and function. In reference to The City of
Durham Zoning Ordinance Section 4.B. 1.9.2.b, a minimum of 50% of "open space" must
be outside of the "wet" areas, which the current layout conforms to. Moving the lots will
actually be creating more "wet" open space and less usable open space. The
development is already preserving a large portion of its site as open space, however very
little of it is outside of the floodplain, wetland, pond, and creek areas. This area is set
aside for active recreation. That is why having a centrally located space abutting the lots
is required and is highly desirable.

The Durham Subdivision Ordinance Section 5M requires that all projects make
provisions for both active and passive recreation areas, including parks, greenways, and
open space. All such land must satisfy applicable City/County site suitability standards
with respect to location, accessibility, size configuration, slope, etc. The areas of this site
that are located in environmental sensitive and regulated areas were not deemed
acceptable to meet the standard for active recreational area. The only portion of the

(over)

Good Things Are Happening In Durham

project that would satisfy the minimum standard is the area currently called out as
common area/central open space located outside of environmentally sensitive areas. Any
change to this area would seriously compromise the acceptability of this area to satisfy
the active recreational space standards.

Furthermore, the City of Durham Zoning Ordinance reference 15.3.4.1 and
Section 17.8 states any change of this plan will require a rezoning and site plan
resubmittal through the Durham Planning Department. This site as currently laid out was
approved through rezoning with a "Development Plan" and received approvals from the
Durham City Council. Revising the approved layout will require the "Development
Plan" to be resubmitted and re-reviewed through the rezoning process with Durham
Planning and approval by the Durham City Council.

Keeping the lots out of the central open space is certainly the preferred layout.

If there is any additional information you need or if we can be of further assistance,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
f~ .

Durham, NC 27705
Subject Property: Panther Creek subdivision
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules

Dear Mr. Morrison:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact less than one- tenth of an
acre of isolated wetlands, 0.03 acres of non-isolated wetlands, 188 linear feet (117 feet of permanent
impacts) of streams and 0.47 acres of protected stream buffers or waters for the purpose of
constructing a road crossing and utility crossings at the proposed Panther Creek Parkway as you
described in your application dated June 20, 2003 with revisions sent on July 11, 2003 and July 29,
2003 . After reviewing your application we have decided, this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3402. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when the
Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC
2B .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead
with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new
owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit
expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. If total wetland fills for this project (now or
in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and those listed below.
Conditions of Certification:

1.) No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best
Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.

1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 (Mailing Address)
2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 (Location)

2.) Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the
proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices:

a. The erosion and sediment. control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface
Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance
with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade ``restored within six months of the date that
the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
4. Stormwater Management Plan (Phase I - No Further Approval Needed)

The final, written stormwater management plans dated June 12, 2003, must be implemented and the
stormwater management facilities shall be constructed and operational before any permanent building
is occupied at the. subject site. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as
drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices
shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
5. Diffuse Flow (Review Phases II, and III)

An additional condition is that all constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed to flow in
a diffuse manner at non-erosive velocities through the entire protected stream buffers without re-
concentrating. If this is not possible it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are
considered to remove nitrogen. Additionally, a stormwater management plan for this project shall be
provided to this Office before any development activities begin in Phase II and I I I are conducted. The
plan shall specify all stormwater discharge points, plan details, and calculations to indicate that diffuse
flow through the protected buffers or nitrogen removal as described above will be achieved.
6. Culvert Installation:

The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall
be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the
streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-

'established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed
correctly.

The culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the
stream up or down stream of'the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert. As such, it is required that you provide the plans with adequate details that indicate that the
current stability of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You must receive written approval from
this Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is installed. The culvert(s) must be installed
according to the approved plans.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must
be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it
shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality.

Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to
adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
7. Isolated Wetlands:

Additional written approval is required from DWQ for any additional impact to isolated wetlands
beyond those needed for this road crossing. The applicant is hereby notified that DWQ may not
approve any impact to isolated wetlands beyond the one-tenth acre for deemed permitted activities
for this project. Therefore, reconfiguration of the lot layout and open space layout may be needed
for this subdivision if minimization of the impact on the isolated wetland is needed.
The impact on these isolated wetlands for this road crossing is "deemed permitted" since the impact
is less than one-tenth of an acre. Therefore the following conditions must be met for this impact to
continue to be considered as "deemed permitted:
a. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those
outlined in the most recent version of two manuals, either the "North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining
Manual" (available from the Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central
Offices). The control practices shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate
turbidity water quality standard;
b. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be
removed and the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released
the project;
C. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact
with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
d. Measures shall be taken to ensure that the hydrology of any remaining wetland or
isolated classified surface waters is not affected by the discharge.
8. Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable Buffer Rules,
and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion
to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC,
27699-1650.

Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions
are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit.

If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing.
You.must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written
petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646 or Bob
Zarzecki at 919-733-9726.

e met on 8/7/03 in your office with you, BOB and Todd to discuss this project
most issues were stormwate.r_ related and the engineer has responded. d..i_r.ectly to Todd. One
item was related to Diarha.m open space requirements and what counts and does not count.
Attached is the engineers attempt at clarifying the Durham requirement; and how it relates
to the inability to relocate lots out of the isolated wetland and how eiren if they did
Durham requires the open space to be functional for use (e.g playgrounds) so fill would
still be needed. I did not want to try to copy this fax or faze it and thought a scanned
vexsion would be better please call if you cannot open it_ IT is a MS paint file that
software is on most computers.
8y the way has the public notice been published for this project yet? If so when and what
do we owe you? Kevin

RE: Panther Creek of Durham, LLC

Dear Mr. Dorney:

We. are writing in response to the request for additional information regarding the location of the
"open space" for the site referenced above. This is a follow-up to a meeting that your office had
with Kevin Martin and Todd Pruninger both of S&EC on August 7th.

As a part of the City of Durham requirements for "Cluster Developments" (Subdivision
Ordinance 5Q.3) an area designated as "open space" must be provided to meet City code. As
noted in the ordinance only 50% of this space can be within floodway or areas normally covered t~
by water. An "isolated wetland" will be classified as normally covered by water and will not
meet this requirement. The intent of the ordinance is for the remaining portion of "open space" to
be. left in a centralized area that will allow for "active" recreation. The site as currently designed CJ,,
shows this "active" recreation (Open Space) in a field in the middle of the community. This was 'A. A
highly desirable by the City of Durham Planning Department since it centrally locates the, open GI
space. The residence children will be main users and separating it from the ponds will make its
current- location a safer design than the alternative. If we wish to relocate the recreation area
(open space) to the isolated wetland area (next to the pond) and move those building lots to the
current recreation area, we will still need to fill the isolated wetland area to make it suitable under
Durham regulations.
We believe that we have presented a well thought out project that seriously considered the
protection of the streams and other bodies of water while integrating the residential element. As
always, we will be glad to meet with you if additional explanation is needed.

Sincerely,

NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that the Panther Creek of Durham, LLC (attn.: S. Craig Morrison) has applied for an
Isolated Wetland Permit pursuant to the Environmental Management Commission rules in 15A NCAC 2H .1300. The
activity for this Certification is sought to fill 0.43 acres of isolated wetlands in order to construct the Panther Creek
subdivision in Durham County at SR 1818 (Burton Road) near Gorham Street (SR 1670) and Burton Road. In addition,
there would be impact to 185 feet of streams, 0.30 acres of stream buffers and 0.03 acres of non-isolated wetlands in
order to develop this subdivision The isolated wetland fill is proposed in order to develop several lots. DWQ intends to
require that the site plan be modified to provide community open space including the isolated wetlands and then allow the
same number of lots to be built where the applicant is presently proposing open space in order to minimize wetland
impact. The applicant will also need to provide stormwater treatment from this development by utilizing level spreaders
and detention ponds.
The public is invited to comment on the above mentioned application to the Division of Water Quality. Comments shall
be in writing and shall be received by the Division no later than October 17, 2003. Comments should be sent to the N.C.
Division of Water Quality, Non-Discharge Branch, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh, NC 27604, Attn: John Dorney (919-
7330-5694; Fax: [phone]). A copy of the application is on file at the Division office at the Crabtree Blvd. address in

Stormwater Management Plan (Phase I - No Further Approval Needed)

The final, written stormwater management plans dated June 12, 2003, must b /
implemented and the stormwater management facilities shall be constructed and L
operational before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site. The
structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage
patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural
stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the
Division of Water Quality.

Diffuse Flow (Review Phases II and III)

An additional condition is that all constructed stormwater conveyance outlets
shall be directed to flow in a diffuse manner at non-erosive velocities through the
entire protected stream buffers without re-concentrating. If this is not possible it
may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove
nitrogen. Additionally, a stormwater management plan for this project shall be
provided to this Office before any development activities begin in each Phase, II
and III, are conducted. The plan shall specify all stormwater discharge points,
plan details, and calculations to indicate that diffuse flow through the protected
buffers or nitrogen removal as described above will be achieved.
Culvert Installation
The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the
original stream profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the
cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) are to be maintained
above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and
installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of
the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate
stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched
manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.
The culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation
or erosion of the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream
dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal
profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. As such,
it is required that you provide the plans with adequate details that indicate that
the current stability of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You must
receive written approval from this Office for the above plans before the culvert(s)
is installed. The culvert(s) must be installed according to the approved plans.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank
stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or

ECTION
RE: Panther Creek Subdivision
Durham County, S&EC Job #7568
DWQ #03-0710, RRO-NBR #03-051

As per our conversation today I am writing to verify my
understanding of our client's ability to utilize an NBR exempt and non
reporting 401 for a temporary road crossing for the project.
The project has experienced unexpected delays due to the
necessity for an individual isolated wetland permit. DWQ staff and
S&EC expected a general permit to be available before now but due to
other "more pressing matters" the general permit is not yet available.

Based on a conversation with Bob Zarzecki of your staff, if the
crossing required less than 40' of stream impact it would be "exempt"
from the buffer rules. Today you stated if it were an exempt buffer
activity then no PCN for a 401 would be needed since impacts were less
than 150' of stream.

Since we already have a 404 permit for even a larger crossing at
the same location and based on our conversation today, it seems our
client can immediately move forward with construction of the crossing.
The immediate need is to allow development of Phase I of the project
where no wetland or buffer impacts occur. The crossing is needed to
access a spoil storage area for excess material generated in Phase I. No
wetland or buffer impacts will occur in the spoil area.

We are scheduled to meet on 8/7/03 in your office to discuss
impacts needed for later project phases and stormwater issues and will
not commence installation of the temporary crossing until we receive
your verbal authorization prior to or during that meeting.

For your information I am attaching the site plan showing the
location of the temporary crossing. To minimize impacts it is located
within the footprint of the proposed permanent crossing for which a 401
has been requested. The other impacts for the project will not occur
until after a 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetland permit
are received from your office.
Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

AITERQUALITYSECTION
RE: Request for additional information - DWQ# 03-0710
Panther Creek Subdivision
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina
S&EC Project 7568

Dear Mr. Dorney,

On July 8, 2003 our office received a request for additional information regarding
impacts at the proposed Panther Creek Subdivision (see attached letter dated June
26,2003). As requested, the sewer lines and stormwater outfalls, as well as diffuse flow
measures have been provided and labeled on the attached Stormwater Plan Map. Please
note that stormwater plans have not been finalized for Phases II and III. We would like
to request that DWQ issue approval for impacts associated with phase I with the
condition that construction for Phases II and III will not begin until your office approves
a stormwater plan for these areas.

Item 3 of the on-hold letter states that a stormwater BMP is located within the buffer. No
ponds are located within the buffer, however; one device is located slightly within the
floodplain.

Item 4. The lots in the proposed isolated wetland (actually a drained pond with pine
and sweetgum trees in the base) cannot be moved to the other side of Road A. As
stated in our previous application, Durham requires contiguous open space for
community events and recreation (e.g. soccer, Frisbee). Specifically, section 8.1 of the
Durham Zoning ordinance states that "no more than 50% of open space shall be covered
by water or floodway" and that `open space' is an area of development that allows for

light, air, .....and recreational use". Therefore, in order to meet this requirement, the
developer has set aside a large park-like area in the central portion of the property. In
fact, the isolated wetland (drained pond) does not meet Durham's open space
requirement. You may want to discuss this issue with Mr. Bob Zarzecki, as he conducted
the buffer meetings and is familiar with the site as well as the site plan.

Item 5. I have enclosed the additional $275 application fee.

Please call if you require any additional information or have any questions.
Sincerely,

Todd Preuninger

Dear Mr. Morrison:
On June 20, 2003 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application regarding your
plan to fill waters for the purpose of constructing a residential subdivision in Durham County. Approval from DWQ is
required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ # listed above in
your reply. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to determine your
projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500.
1. Please locate any planned sewer lines on the site plan.
2. Please indicate all stormwater outfalls on the site plan.
3. Please indicate the diffuse flow provision measures on the site plan for all stormwater outlets. Please note that
BMP pond 1 is a dry detention pond and therefore not considered to remove nitrogen from stormwater. Also,
two other BMP's appear near Road "E". One appears to be located in a buffered area.
4. This Office believes that the lots proposed in the isolated wetland can be moved to the other side of road "A" to
avoid the impacts to the isolated wetlands. Please revise the plans to avoid the impacts.
5. The application fee was insufficient because over 150 feet of stream impact is requested. Please provide
$275.00.
6. Please note that the proposed impacts to isolated wetlands will likely require a Public Notice and comment
period.
Please telephone Todd St. John at 919-733-9584 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or
procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The
processing time for this application will begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing or
by fax at [phone] within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider
it withdrawn.

RE: Nationwide Permits 12, 39&401 Water Quality Certification and Request to
Impact Isolated Wetlands
Panther Creek Subdivision
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina
S&EC Project 7568

Dear Ms. Wade and Mr. Dorney,

On behalf of Panther Creek LLC - Durham, we hereby request authorization from the US
Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permits 12 and 39 to cover impacts to
stream channels and jurisdictional wetlands (see attached overall map). We also request
written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project
complies with the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with Nationwide Permits
12 & 39. We would also like to request authorization for impacts to isolated wetlands. A
Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an agent
authorization form.

The proposed project consists of impacts from the construction of access roads and utility
lines for a residential housing development. The project is located on the east side of
Burton Road (SR 1818) approximately 3000 feet south of the intersection of Gorman

Charlotte Office: Greensboro Office: Hickory Office:

Street (SR 1670) and Burton Road. The project boundary is bounded on the south by
Panther Creek and is approximately 85 acres in size, and consists primarily of pine and
hardwood stands. Please refer to the attached USGS map, which displays the location of
the proposed project.

S&EC conducted a detailed wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation on
January 26, 2003. Mr. Todd Tugwell of the USACE made a site visit to verify the
delineation on February 11, 2003. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ made a site visit
and confirmed the buffers on February 10, 2003. On June 11, 2003 Mr. Bob Zarzecki of
the NC-DWQ revisited the site and determined that an isolated pond/wetland is not
subject to the buffer rules. A copy of his letter is attached.

The applicant requested a detailed wetland delineation and buffer evaluation on the
property prior to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional features and
riparian buffers to the maximum extent practicable. Temporary impacts include 71
linear feet of perennial channel and 7,421 sq. & of riparian buffer due to the
installation of water and sewer lines. Construction of the proposed sewer outfall and
water line will proceed in accordance with all general conditions stated within
Nationwide Permit 12. For this reason, and because the stream crossing is perpendicular
and the construction corridor is less than 40 ft., this project does not require written
concurrence from the NC-DWQ (condition 1 of state general certification for NWP 12).
The proposed roadway will impact approximately 0.03 acres of jurisdictional
wetlands 138 linear feet of perennial stream channel and 50 linear feet of
intermittent channel. We are also requesting approval to fin 0.43 acres of isolated
wetlands in order to comply with the City of Durham open space requirements and
for the construction of an access road. These impacts are elaborated upon within the
attached PCN form and are shown on the attached inset impact maps.
The proposed road crossing is necessary to gain access from the southern portion of the
property from Burton Road to the northern portion of the property. Although the road
crossing will impact a segment of intermittent channel as well as perennial channel, the
road alignment was constrained due to the presence of wetlands and a pond to the east.
The applicant has minimized impacts through the use of headwalls at the proposed
crossing. Following construction, the applicant will maintain 50-foot riparian buffers on
the pond and 100-foot buffers on the stream channels as well as employ BMP devices to
preserve water quality. Stormwater will be treated or released as sheet flow (i.e. diffuse)
before entering the buffers. Moreover, because this site is located within a watersupply
watershed, Durham regulations will not allow >24% impervious within the site. In fact,
the overall percent impervious is 10.2%. Please note that the stormwater plans have not
been finalized for Phases II and III. We would like to request that DWQ issue the permit
with the condition that construction for Phases II and III will not begin until the
stormwater plan has been approved by DWQ for these phases.

The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation
to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements

for notification (0.10 acre). The proposed road is necessary to access the entire property.
Because the applicant has minimized impacts to the maximum extent practicable and will
maintain riparian buffers as per the Neuse Buffer Rules, S&EC believes further
compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE.

NC-DWQ's current policy requires written concurrence for stream impacts of greater or
equal to 150 linear feet of stream length per project. We request written concurrence that
the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide
Permit 39. NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or stream mitigation for
perennial stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because
the total permanent impacts to perennial channels is less than 150 feet and a total of 0.03
acres of permanent impacts to wetlands are proposed, we do not believe that wetland nor
stream mitigation should be required by NC-DWQ. Please note that following
construction the site will contain 10.2% impervious surface. Therefore, we do not
believe that this project requires a pre-approved stormwater plan.

The DWQ's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize isolated wetland
impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to offset
unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the thresholds for mitigation
(1 acre). Given the location of the isolated wetlands (i.e. in the central portion of the
property) impacts were unavoidable. Because the applicant will preserve water quality
through the use of stormwater ponds/riparian buffers and because impacts are below 1
acre, we do not believe mitigation should be required.

Please call if you require any additional information or have any questions.

buffers on February 10, 2003. A copy of Mr. Mitchell's letter is attached. On June 11, 2003 Mr.
Bob Zarzecki of the NC-DWQ revisited the site and determined that an isolated pond/wetland is
not subject to the buffer rules.
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.
Sewer installation in northeast corner of property.

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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must 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: Temporary impacts consist of 35
and 36 linear feet of a perennial channel due to the installation of a sewer line and
water line, respectively . Permanent impacts consist of 138 feet of perennial channel, 50

Page 3 of 8

linear feet of intermittent channel and 0.032 acres of wetland impact resulting from
road construction. Isolated wetland impacts consist of 0.43 acres due to road
construction and lot fill,

2. Individually list wetland impacts below:

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.

5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): NA
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA

Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA

VI. 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.
A detailed delineation was conducted in order to develop a site plan that minimized impacts.
However, a large pond and a perennial channel bisect the property, necessitating a creek
crossing. In order to minimize impacts the applicant has utilized headwalls at the proposed
impact area. In an attempt to maintain water quality the applicant will provide 50-foot riparian
buffers adjacent to the pond and 100-foot buffers adjacent to the stream channels. In addition the
~!pplicant will utilize BMP devices for water treatment.

VII. 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 March 9, 2000, 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

Page 5 of 8

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 NCWRP 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/nc,,vetlands/stm-igide.hti-nl.

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.
Because impacts are below the thresholds that typically require mitigation and because
impacts have been minimized to the maximum extent possible, we do not believe mitigation
should be required. However, if mitigation is required, we propose payment to the WRP.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wT/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA

VIII. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)

Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No

If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.

Page 6 of 8

Yes ? No ?

If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?

IX. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)

It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

Zone* Impact Multiplier Required
(square feet) Mitigation
1 8388 3 NA
2 4619 1.5 NA
1 (sewer easement) 2636
2 (sewer easement) 1710

Total 20428 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.

If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
NA

Page 7 of 8

X. Stormwater (required by DWQ)

Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
The site does not currently contain impervious surface. Following construction the site will
contain 10.2% impervious surface, therefore, we do not believe a pre-approved stormwater plan
is required. Moreover, because this site is located in a water supply watershed, Durham
regulations prohibit any development that exceeds 24% impervious. The applicant will provide
measures to insure that diffuse flow is achieved before stormwater enters the buffers as well as
maintain a 50-foot buffer around the pond and a 100-foot stream buffer. Please note that plans
for Phases II and III have not been finalized but will be submitted to DWQ for review at a later
date.

XI. 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.
Sanitary Sewer

XII. Violations (required by DWQ)

Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No

Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No

XIII. Other Circumstances (Optional):

It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Dear Mr. Morrison:
On June 20, 2003 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application regarding your
plan to fill waters for the purpose of constructing a residential subdivision in Durham County. Approval from DWQ is
required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ # listed above in
your reply. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to determine your
projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
1. Please locate any planned sewer lines on the site plan. V
2. Please indicate all stormwater outfalls on the site plan.
3. Please indicate the diffuse flow provision measures on the site plan for all stormwater outlets. Please note that
BMP pond 1 is a dry detention pond and therefore not considered to remove nitrogen from stormwater. Also,
two other BMP's appear near Road "E". One appears to be located in a buffered area.
4. This Office believes that the lots proposed in the isolated wetland can be moved to the other side of road "A" to
avoid the impacts to the isolated wetlands. Please revise the plans to avoid the impacts.
5. The application fee was insufficient because over 150 feet of stream impact is requested. Please provide
$275.00.
6. Please note that the proposed impacts to isolated wetlands will likely require a Public Notice and comment
period.
Please telephone Todd St. John at 919-733-9584 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or
procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The
processing time for this application will begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing or
by fax at [phone] within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider
it withdrawn.
incerely,

On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233)
Dear Mr. Preuninger:

On June 11, 2003, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review an "isolated pond" located on the
subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled on the attached
map initialed by me on June 12, 2003 as "Isolated Pond / Appeal Call". Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Staff from the
Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) had previously conducted an on-site determination of the feature as described within their
letter to you dated April 1, 2003. You requested an appeal of their determination as provided within 15A NCAC 02B
.0233(3)(a). At your request, I conducted an appeal of their determination as stated above. The feature appeared to be
an old pond that had been drained years ago based on the fact that trees (approximately 5 inches dbh) were growing
within the man-made channel cut through the historic dam. The feature appeared to have a direct connection to the larger
stream through the channel cut through the historic dam. The feature contained mostly vegetated wetlands
(approximately 75%) and some open water (approximately 25%). 1 was unable to define an "intermittent or perennial
stream". I determined the feature to be a "wetland" and not a surface water (e.g., intermittent stream, perennial stream,
lake, pond or estuary). Based on my evaluation, the DWQ has determined that the feature labeled as "Isolated
Pond / Appeal Call" is a wetland and not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. This determination shall replace the
determination originally performed by the Regional Office. The owner (or future owners) should notify the DWQ (and
other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future correspondences concerning this property.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers. Nor
does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State. Wetlands or other Waters
of the U.S. may exist on the property. You should contact the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to ensure
compliance with wetland regulations. In addition, as stated above I believe that the feature is a wetland. You stated
the USACE delineated the feature as "isolated". Therefore, I recommend that you contact Mr. John Dorney of the
DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit at [phone] to discuss compliance with Isolated Wetland Permits. If you have any
additional questions or require additional information please call me at [phone].

RE: Buffer Appeal

S&EC Project 03-7568

Dear Mr. Dorney:
On February 10, 2003, S&EC conducted a site visit with Mr. Steve Mitchell at the
proposed Panther Creek Subdivision. Upon further investigation, we do not believe that
the small pond (to the north of the large pond) should be subject to the buffer rules due to
the lack of a hydrologic connection. Moreover, the USACE has determined that this
feature is indeed isolated (non jurisdictional) and therefore, we believe it is exempt from
the buffer rules. We would like to request that an additional site visit be conducted in
order to determine whether this feature should be subject to the buffer rules.

Please review the attached maps and call to schedule a site meeting or if you require
additional information. My number is 919-846-5900.

Dear Mr. Preuninger:
I have reviewed the information submitted. for the project. referenced by the Raleigh Regional _
Office as NBR 03-051. An evaluation of the stream features present on the property was
performed on February 10, 2003 to determine whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rules.
The features represented on the Durham County Soils and the Northeast Durham USGS
topographic maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Rule. It was determined
that there are several features present on this property that are subject to the Neuse River Basin:
Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code 15A:2B.0233. Panther Creek is the main feature and runs
along the southeastern property line, Feature A along the northern property line, Feature D,
flowing from the north-northwest and forming the large pond prior to connecting with Panther
Creek, and a small pond to the north of the large pond were determined to be subject to the Rule
and therefore subject to the fifty-foot riparian protection zone. These features are highlighted in
blue on the attached map.
This letter addresses only those issues involving the riparian area. For information relative to
water quality permitting, buffer impacts, 401/404 or wetland issues, please contact Mr. John

RE: Nationwide Permit 39&401 Water Quality Certification and Request to Impact
Isolated Wetlands
Panther Creek Subdivision
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina
S&EC Project 7568

Dear Ms. Wade and Mr. Dorney,

On behalf of Panther Creek LLC - Durham, we hereby request authorization from the US
Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 39 to cover impacts to stream
channels and jurisdictional wetlands (see attached overall map). We also request written
concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies
with the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with Nationwide Permit 39. We
would also like to request authorization for impacts to isolated wetlands. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an agent
authorization form.
The proposed project consists of impacts from the construction of access roads for a
residential housing development. The project is located on the east side of Burton Road
(SR 1818) approximately 3000 feet south of the intersection of Gorman Street (SR 1670)
and Burton Road. The project boundary is bounded on the south by Panther Creek and is
approximately 85 acres in size, and consists primarily of pine and hardwood stands.
Please refer to the attached USGS map, which displays the location of the proposed
project.

S&EC conducted a detailed wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation on
January 26, 2003. Mr. Todd Tugwell of the USACE made a site visit to verify the
delineation on February 11, 2003. Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ made a site visit
and confirmed the buffers on February 10, 2003. On June 11, 2003 Mr. Bob Zarzecki of
the NC-DWQ revisited the site and determined that an isolated pond/wetland is not
subject to the buffer rules. A copy of his letter is attached.
The applicant requested a detailed wetland delineation and buffer evaluation on the
property prior to site plan development in order to avoid jurisdictional features and
riparian buffers to the maximum extent practicable. The proposed roadway will impact
approximately 0.03 acres of jurisdictional wetlands 138 linear feet of perennial
stream channel and 50 linear feet of intermittent channel. We are also requesting
approval to fill 0.43 acres of isolated wetlands in order to comply with the City of
Durham open space requirements and for the construction of an access road. These
impacts are elaborated upon within the attached PCN form and are shown on the attached
inset impact maps.

The proposed road crossing is necessary to gain access from the southern portion of the
property from Burton Road to the northern portion of the property. Although the road
crossing will impact a segment of intermittent channel as well as perennial channel, the
road alignment was constrained due to the presence of wetlands and a pond to the east.
The applicant has minimized impacts through the use of headwalls at the proposed
crossing. Following construction, the applicant will maintain 50-foot riparian buffers on
the pond and 100-foot buffers on the stream channels as well as employ BMP devices to
preserve water quality. Stormwater will be treated or released as sheet flow (i.e. diffuse)
before entering the buffers. Moreover, because this site is located within a
watersupply watershed, Durham regulations will not allow >24% impervious within
the site. In fact, the overall percent impervious is 10.2%

The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation
to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements
for notification (0.10 acre). The proposed road is necessary to access the entire property.
Because the applicant has minimized impacts to the maximum extent practicable and will
maintain riparian buffers as per the Neuse Buffer Rules, S&EC believes further
compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires written concurrence for stream impacts of greater or
equal to 150 linear feet of stream length per project. We request written concurrence that
the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated with Nationwide
Permit 39. NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or stream mitigation for
perennial stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because
the total permanent impacts to perennial channels is less than 150 feet and a total of 0.03
acres of permanent impacts to wetlands are proposed, we do not believe that wetland nor
stream mitigation should be required by NC-DWQ. Please note that following

construction the site will contain 10.2% impervious surface. Therefore, we do not
believe that this project requires a pre-approved stormwater plan.
The DWQ's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize isolated wetland
impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to offset
unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the thresholds for mitigation
(1 acre). Given the location of the isolated wetlands (i.e. in the central portion of the
property) impacts were unavoidable. Because the applicant will preserve water quality
through the use of stormwater ponds/riparian buffers and because impacts are below 1
acre, we do not believe mitigation should be required.

Please call if you require any additional information or have any questions.

Sincerely,

Todd Preuninger
Biologist/Project Manager

5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): NA
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA

Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA

VI. 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.
A detailed delineation was conducted in order to develop a site plan that minimized impacts.
However, a large pond and a perennial channel bisect the property, necessitating a creek
crossing. In order to minimize impacts the applicant has utilized headwalls at the proposed
an
impact area. In an attempt to maintain water quality the applicant will provide 50-foot ripari
buffers adjacent to the pond and 100-foot buffers adjacent to the stream channels. In addition the
applicant will utilize BMP devices for water treatment.
VII. 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 March 9, 2000, 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.

Page 5 of 8

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 NCWRP 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/stn-i-igide.hti-n1.
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.
Because impacts are below the thresholds that typically require mitigation and because
impacts have been minimized to the maximum extent possible, we do not believe mitigation
should be required. However, if mitigation is required, we propose payment to the WRP.

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
(919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.eiir.state.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA

VIII. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)

Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No

If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?

Page 6 of 8

If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?

IX. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:

Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

Zone* Impact Multiplier Required
(square feet) Mitigation
1 8388 3 NA
2 4619 1.5 NA
Total 13007 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.

If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
NA

X. Stormwater (required by DWQ)

Describe impervious acreage (both 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.

Page 7 of 8

The site does not currently contain impervious surface. Following construction the site will
contain 10.2% impervious surface therefore we do not believe a pre-approved stormwater plan
is-required. Moreover, because this site is located in a water supply watershed Durham
regulations prohibit any development that exceeds 24% impervious. The applicant will provide
measures to insure that diffuse flow is achieved before stormwater enters the buffers as well as
maintain a 50-foot buffer around the pond and a 100-foot stream buffer.

XI. 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.
Sanitary Sewer

XII. Violations (required by DWQ)

Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No

Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No

XIII. Other Circumstances (Optional):

It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Subject: Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules
NBR 03-051
Panther Creek/Horvath Assoc.
Project No. 03-7568
Durham County

Dear Mr. Preuninger:

have reviewed the information submitted for the project referenced by the Raleigh Regional
Office as NBR 03-051. An evaluation of the stream features present on the property was
performed on February 10, 2003 to determine whether or not the site would require compliance
with the Neuse Buffer Rules.
The features represented on the Durham County Soils and the Northeast Durham USGS
topographic maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Rule. It was determined
that there are several features present on this property that are subject to the Neuse River Basin:
Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code. 15A:2B.0233. Panther Creek is the main feature and runs
along the southeastern property line, Feature A along 'the northern property line, Feature D,
flowing from the north-northwest and forming the large pond prior to connecting with Panther
Creek, and a small pond to the north of the large pond were determined to be subject to the Rule
and herefore subject to the fifty-foot riparian protection none. These features are highlighted in
blue on,!the attached map.
I
This letter addresses only those issues involving the riparian area. For information relative to
water quality permitting, buffer impacts, 401/404 or wetland issues, please contact Mr. John
D6mey at 919-733-1786. Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of
any other assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
919-571-4700.
