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, statuies, or rules occur.. 3. 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 in order to protect surface waters standards: 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. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times. 4. Protective Fencing - The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC 2B .0233 and GC 3404. 5. Culvert Installation 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) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. 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 Winchester Drive Extension Page 3 of 4 March 3, 2006 be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re- installed correctly. 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) shall be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. 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. 6.

Name of project: WINCHESTER DRIVE EXTENSION (City of Raleigh) 2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): (Portion of U-2823 3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 0777837906 4. Location County: Wake Nearest Town: Raleigh Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): The proiect is located east of the existing Winchester Drive, west of Turkey Creek and south of Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, Wake County, NC (see attached map, Mr. Joshi will only be permitting the section on his property and west of Turkey Creek). 5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.) Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 35.8774°N 78.7350°W (WGS84/NAD83) 6. Property size (acres): N/A (linear road construction proiect) 7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Turkey Creek (Stream Index # 27-33-2, C NSW) 8. River Basin: Upper Neuse (DWO 03-04-02: USGS Cataloging Unit 03020201) (Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://h2o.cnr.state,nc.us/admin/maps/.) Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The existing conditions on the site include vacant land previously used as residential and nursery operations. The general land use in the vicinity of the project includes residential to the south and commercial/retail business along the Page 2 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 US70/Glenwood Avenue corridor. A townhome development adjacent to the proposed Winchester Drive Extension is currently under various stages of development. 9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project involves the construction and extension of Winchester Drive and a connector road to US70/Glenwood Avenue for the City of Raleigh. The project will not impact Turkey Creek or it's associated Neuse River Buffers at this time, although a bridge is currently proposed for the crossing some time in the future. The impacts proposed within this application are associated with the replacement of an existing driveway pipe with a new stormwater bypass pipe and grassed road shoulders. The new stormwater pipe will bypass off site drainage. All on site runoff from the new road will be treated via grassed swales. We believe this approach to be consistent with projects previously reviewed by the DWQ. Equipment to be used include standard heavy equipment (excavators, etc.) typically used for such road construction. 10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed work is to complete construction of the portion of Winchester Drive from the northern property line south to Turkey Creek. The proposed road is currently located on Glenwood Lane, LLC's property but will be transferred to the City once construction is complete and is part of their thoroughfare plan (see attached letter from the City of Raleigh dated.lanyary 9. 2006). The road will currently end12rior to crossing Turkey Creek or it's associated Neuse River Buffers. The road alignment has been discussed with staff from your office and was tentatively accepted pending any necessary 401 and buffer approvals with the understanding that when the road does ultimately extend across Turkey Creek that a bridge will be used (.see attached DWQ meeting report dated August 9. 2005). IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. Please refer to the attached letter from the City of Raleigh dated January 9, 2006 and DWQ meeting report dated August 9, 2005. A townhome development (Glenwood Station currently under various stages of development is located to the south of the Winchester Drive Extension project proposed within this application. A drained pond existed on the townhome property. The pond has been drained for many years as you can see on the attached 2004 aerial photo. A wetland existed within the pond bottom that was exempted from the buffer rules by Mr. Danny Smith (DWQ) back in 1999 and was approved to be filled by the DWQ in February 2005 (DWQ Project # 05-0205) and USACE in August 2005 (AID # 200421396). Payment was made to and received by the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) to mitigate for the impacts as a conditional requirement of the USACE approval. As stated within Page 3 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 the City of Raleigh letter, Winchester Drive is an element of the US 70 Corridor Plan and NCDOT Transportation Improvement Plan (U-2823). 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. No future permit requests are anticipated for this project or on the adjacent properties. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United Statcs/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. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should 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: The proposed impacts include 1,178 sf of buffer and 40 feet of intermittent stream for the replacement of an existing drivewaynipe with a new stormwater bypass pipe and rock energy dissipater. Additional buffer impacts include approximately 979 sf of "exempt" Zone 2 impacts associated with the grassed road shoulder. 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding. Wetland Impact Site Number (indicate on map) Type of Impact Type of Wetland (e.g., forested, marsh, herbaceous, bog, etc.) Located within 100-year Floodplain es/no Distance to Nearest Stream linear feet Area of Impact (acres) Total Wetland Impact (acres) 0* (* 0.484 acres were previously approved on the adjacent townhome site as stated above.) Page 4 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 3. List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 (except Turkey Creek) 4. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560. Stream Impact Number indicate on ma Stream Name Type of Impact Perennial or Intermittent? Average Stream Width Before Impact Impact Length linear feet Area of Impact acres EXB 1.01 UT to Turkey Creek Fill Rock Dissipater Intermittent 5 40 0.005 Total Stream Impact (by length and acreage) 40 0.005 5. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.). Open water impacts include, but are not limited to fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. Open Water Impact Site Number indicate on ma (if Name applicable) Waterbody Type of Impact Type of Waterbody (lake, pond, estuary, sound, bay, ocean, etc. Area of Impact acres Total Open Water Impact (acres) 0 6. List the cumulative impact to all Waters of the U.S. resulting from the project: Stream Impact acres : 0.005 Wetland Impact acres : 0 Open Water Impact acres : 0 Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. acres 0.005 Total Stream Impact linear feet : 40 7. Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No Page 5 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 8. 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.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: * The construction of a pond is not proposed for this project. VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The nronosed impacts are reauired for the construction of the Winchester Drive Extension. The need for the proposed road and alignment were previously discussed with the DWO most recently in a meeting conducted in July 2005 see attached DWO Meeting Report dated August 9, 2005). A detailed description as to the need for the proposed road is provided in the attached letter from the City of Raleigh dated January 9, 2006. The proposed alignment was located to the south so as to avoid impacts to the unnamed tributary stream (except for 40 feet associated with a pipe replacement and new rock dissipater). VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted Page 6 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/strmnide.htm 1. 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. The only impacts to surface waters proposed by this project are to 40 feet of an unnamed, intermittent stream. S&EC personnel have evaluated the stream and do not believe that it contains significant aquatic life or function typical of streams in which the USACE requires mitigation. S&F,C does not anticipate that mitigation will be required for the 40 feet of intermittent stream impacts and as such a mitigation plan has not been provided. The a licant proposes payment into NCEEP to comply with this mitigation condition if determined to be required by the USACE. S&EC will contact EEP to enter the pro rt? am if the USACE determines that mitigation will be required. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://h2o.enr.st ite.nc.tis/wrp/index.litm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): Page 7 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) X. February 17, 2006 1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No 2. 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 (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ? No ? 3. 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 ? 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. 1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify V Yes ® No ? 2. If "yes", 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. Road - Pipe Replacement / Bypass Pipe & Rock Dissipater (Allowable) Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 774 3 (2 for Catawba) 0 2 404 1.5 0 Total 1,178 0 Grassed Road Shoulder (Exempt) Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required ation 1 0 3 (2 for Catawba) 0 2 979 1.5 0 Total 979 0 Page 8of10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0244, or.0260. The impacts proposed within this application are associated with the replacement of an existing driveway pipe with a new stormwater bypass pipe and grassed road shoulders as required for the construction of the Winchester Drive Extension. The new stormwater nine will bypass off site drainage. All on site runoff from the new road will be treated via grassed swales prior to entering the pipe. We believe this approach to be consistent with projects previously reviewed by the DWQ and is considered an "allowable" use within the Neuse River Buffer Rule as a new stornnvater conveyance discharging from a stormwater management facility that controls nitrogen and a road crossing less than 113 acre and 150 feet. S&EC believes that the Zone 2 impacts associated with the grassed road shoulders are considered an "exempt" use within the Neuse River Buffer Rule as grading and revegetation within Zone 2. As such, S&EC does not believe that buffer mitigation will be required for the proposed impacts. If mitigation is determined to be required, the applicant proposes payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund administered by EEP. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (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. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The proposed project involves the construction of a linear transportation facility (Winchester Drive Extension). As such while the project area (within the road right of way) most likely will exceed 30% impervious cover, the DWQ has not typically required additional stormwater management for such transportation projects beyond compliance with the diffuse flow provision of the Neuse Buffer Rule). All stormwater runoff from this new road extension will be treated via grassed swales designed in accordance with the latest NC DENR Stormwater BMP Manual prior to discharging to the stream. Designs, worksheets and calculations are attached for you review. The townhome development to the south of the project was previously reviewed and approved by the DWQ in February 2005 (DWQ Project # 05-0205). The adjacent properties will comply with the City of Raleigh Neuse River Nutrient Removal and other stormwater regulations. XII. 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. N/A XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Page 9 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 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 XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: The proposed project includes stormwater treatment via Grassed swales to protect downstream water quality. In addition, the adjacent properties will be comply with all City of Raleigh Nitrogen Removal and other stonnwater regulations. The townhome property south of the road was reviewed and anproved by the DWO in Febmary 2005 (DWO Project # 05-0205). XV. 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). The proposed project is currently waiting on final approval from the City of Raleigh as a result of obtaining DWO approval for the buffer and stream impacts. ?ptftc-i nlM endt `Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

SA aEdrarM" SPA City Of 6R-aleigh January 9, 2006 -Worth 6rolina Ms. Deborah Edwards NCDENR Division of Water Quality 3800 Barrett Drive Raleigh, NC 27609 j Subject: Neuse River Dear Ms. Edwards: This letter is in response to a 'request for justification of stream impacts concerning a proposed extension of Winchester Drive. This proposed roadway is an element of the US 70 Corridor Plan, which is an adopted transportation plan that was developed by NCDOT and the City of Raleigh in 1991. This plan proposes a system of parallel collector streets along US 70. These streets are intended to provide alternate means of access at such time that US 70 is upgraded to an expressway facility. This expressway upgrade is anticipated in conjunction with a funded NCDOT Transportation Improvement Program Project (U-7823), which will entail widening the roadway and removing direct access.to many of the properties along the corridor. These parallel collector streets will become the primary means of access for most of the properties along the highway. The proposed construction of Winchester Drive will result in the immediate restriction of access to US 70 by the adjacent properties. There have beeirmany efforts to construct the extension of Winchester Drive since the late 1990's. At one tiiAe this project was a fully-funded and permitted publiaprivate partnership between the City and a developer, however that project did not move forward. There has also been some discussion with your office as to a variety of alignment options for this roadway. It is my understanding that your office has expressed tentative support for the alignment as currently proposed; p fovided that the necessary crossing of Turkey Creek is facilitated by a bridge. Regardless of the type of technology used to cross the creek, it is imperhtive that the City receives eedTiac regaidittg IIie adegiiary` of Vie crossing-Iocafion in que-Z-6n`pnor 1b-approving -C'-- development pattern-that would preclude any other alternatives. We remam:'c?ommitted to avoiding Neuse.River riparian buffer impacts whenever possible, and to minimizing any impacts we cannot avoid.. We hope that our approval of this development plan is in keeping with that philosophy. If you have any questions or need any other information, please' give me a call at (919) 516-2161 or email me at eric.lamb®cisaleigh.ncus. Sincerely, Eric J.

Ms. Deborah Edwards represented the .401 Oversight & Express Pcimitting Unit of the DWQ and Mr. Eric K.ulz represented the Raleigh Regional Office of the DWQ., Also present were Mr. Paul Kallan (City of Raleigh, Public Works Department, Transportation Services Division), Ms. Bcth Trahos (Bolt York), Mr. Randy King (Areadis) and myself. We discussed the proposed road alignment as depicted on the attached drawing.. Ms. Edwards said that the alignment looked ok as long as a bridge is used over Turkey, Creek and Impact #I (the proposed impacts to the riparian buffers associated with the unaamed.tributary stream) is avoided or 4t least minimized (e.g., no. impacts to Zone 1). Ms. Edwdrc)s stated that . while the alignment looked ok she could not given formal approval without- the submittal of a complete application and formal review by the DWQ.

On that day, you requested that I both determined whether the circled drainage feature, as indicated on the attachod map, would require compliance with the Neuse River Buffer Rules and provide you with written conformation of that dcterminadon. As depicted on the attached map, this evaluation determined the pond footprint did not house forest vegetation and was accordingly not subject to the NZuse Rip Tian Buffer Rule. Downstream from the pond dam the determination was that the feature is a stream and is subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. If you have any questions please call me at (919) 733-1786.

Fees are additive for particular projects. Things to keep in mind when filling out the application: A specific answer must be provided for each question. For instance, if a numerical answer is requested then a numerical answer must be provided along with the supporting information necessary for DWQ staff to verify that the number is accurate. Likewise, if explanations are presented to justify certain responses, the explanations must be completely supported by documentation. DWQ staff cannot assume that unsupported or undocumented information is accurate. "N/A" is not an acceptable answer for any question since the DWQ Staff reviewing the application must have an opportunity to determine whether or not any requested information is pertinent. All forms, guidance, worksheets, applications, etc. used must be the current versions as posted on our web site at http: h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. There will soon be a web site specifically for the express review program. Please note that it will be the applicant's or applicant's consultant's responsibility to verify that the current versions are used. The versions posted on our web site will be considered to be the current versions. You are a very important part of the success of this program, if you have suggestions or clarifications please send your comments to the Wetlands/401 Unit of the DWQ (via email at 401express@ncmail.net). Filling Out the Pre-Construction Notification Application: The Corps of Engineers (USACE)/DWQ official, joint Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application must be used as a basis for the expedited review process. The completed application should be presented first and the supporting information tabbed and collated in the same order. Using a custom format is not recommended. The open squares Q) are checklist items. The following items correspond to the numbering system on the Pre-Construction Notification Form (PCN): USE CHECK BOXES TO TRACK PROJECT INFORMATION SECTION I. PROCESSING 1 & 2.The USACE determines which Nationwide, Regional, or General Permit is required. If you have verified with the USACE which permit they intend to use for your project or if you already have written approval from the USACE, please indicate by adding "verified" or "verified, attached", respectively, in the blank next to the Permit number requested. i f 4 V,; /Attach the USACE Approval if you have it. i IV t dle'? 3. It is not anticipated that the expedited process will be requested for this situation. M/ 4. If you propose to impact 150 feet or more of perennial stream or 1 acre or more of wetland and onsite mitigation is not proposed, it is recommended that you either locate an acceptable private bank with available credits (with documentation to show that the bank can and shall provide the credits needed) or obtain approval from the EEP for the entire amount of stream and or wetland as DWQ will make the final determination as to whether or not mitigation applies. Please note that the USACE may have different mitigation requirements and thresholds. (S-0 5. State whether your project will require a CAMA Minor, Major or General Permit and give the status of the permit. SECTION II - APPLICATION INFORMATION 1. 15 NCAC 2H.502(o reads as follows: "Who Must Sign Applications. The application shall be considered a "valid application" only if the application bears the signature of a responsible officer of the company, municipal official, partner or owner. This signature certifies that the applicant has title to the property, has been authorized by the owner to apply for certification or is a public entity and has the power of eminent domain. Said official in signing the application shall also certify that all information contained therein Please indicate how the applicant meets the above definition and provide supporting documentation. Q ..?•-.C-,#- Please provide all of the requested contact information including a fax number and email address. 2. If the application is not signed by the applicant, please attach the agent authorization. The applicant must sign the agent authorization letter. The applicant's name and position must also be spelled out as many signatures are difficult to read. 3. Please provide all of the requested contact information including a fax number and email address. SECTION III - PROJECT INFORMATION or in sort thereof is true and correct to the best of his knowledge." The following is the most critical of all the information that you must provide. The quality and detail of the information will often determine the expeditiousness of the review. The following is a checklist of the types of pertinent information required at a minimum: Maps a7lans: J/ The most recent version of the 1:24,000 USGS Topographic Map- Please cleanly delineate the site boundaries, etc. on the map. If the delineation obscures any of the features, it is recommended that a clean copy be provided. Please indicate the quadrangle name. You can go to the USGS web site (http://mac.usgs.gov/maplists/) to verify the most recent version. The most recent version of the NRCS Soil Survey Map - (required for projects within the Neuse River Basin, Tar-Pamlico River Basin, Randleman Lake Watershed and the Catawba River Basin, also recommended for all projects) - Please cleanly delineate the site boundaries, etc. on the map. If the delineation obscures any of the features, it is recommended that a clean copy be provided. Please indicate the page or map number from which the copy of the map was made. Copies of the current soil survey and/or soil survey map sheets can be obtained from the local NRCS County Office /(http://www.nc.nres.usda.gov/). Y/ Vicinity map - Please clearly mark the location and approximate boundaries of the property and project on the map. Please indicate north and scale. Please include /applicable road names or State Road numbers. V/ The Site Plan - The most critical map to be provided is the site plan. You must provide full sized plans. The following is the minimum list of plans that are typically needed. 1 1 Pre-construction/Pre-existing conditions - This sheet must be scaled and include all jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, State regulated buffers, topographic contours with elevations, approximate extent and nature of forest, field, landscaped, or other cover. Any existing structures and impervious area must be shown. Existing utility lines and easements must be shown. Existing roads, culverts, and other pertinent features must be shown. North arrow and the scale must be shown. Please note that the impact boundaries on the maps should correspond to the flagged impact boundaries in the field. Proposed conditions - These sheets must be scaled and show all existing jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be underlain on the site plan(s). The plans must show all built-out structures and impervious cover. The plans must include the final grading contours with elevations. The plans must indicate all utilities and easements. It is likely that several versions of the final built-out site plans will be necessary. The following is a list of layers: Drainage Plans - Final drainage plans must be included. The plans should include the locations and pertinent elevations and sizes of the collection system and drainage ways. All inlets and outlets must also be shown with pertinent elevations. Scaled stormwater BMPs must also be indicated as required by DWQ rules and policies. In certain cases, final stormwater management plans must also be provided, but that will be addressed later in this document. Plats - The plans must show the location and layout of all sub-divided parcels with lot identifications. Platted parcels must be developable without further impacts to jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetlands, streams, water features, and State / regulated buffers. V/ Proposed Impacts - All impacts to jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be shown and labeled on the site plans. All excavation, fill, flooding, stabilization, and other impacts that will be conducted in or near jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be indicated. Wetland Impacts (on the site plan): Precise grading and final elevation contours must be provided. Existing vegetation and any clearing must be specified. All subsurface utility lines must indicate the location of anti-seep collars. Construction detail for anti-seep collars must be provided. Roadway or other crossings of riparian wetlands may require floodway culverts to maintain existing hydrological conditions. When surface drainage features or groundwater recharge areas that feed or would reasonably feed wetlands that are not to be filled are made impervious, it may be necessary to direct some stormwater runoff to those areas in order to maintain hydrology. You must identify these areas and address them. Supporting explanations and discharge information must be provided to show that the wetland would not be eroded or receive too much or too little hydrology. In many cases this could help satisfy part of a stormwater management plan. Flooding Draining Stream Impacts: Stream impacts must be clearly shown on the plans. The centerline as well as the banks V/ of the stream must be surveyed or located by GPS for the portion of the stream to be impacted. Culverting: f The inlet and the outlet of the culvert should be aligned with the stream as much as 7 possible. Inlet and outlet elevations and stream bed elevations should be indicated. J Any widening of the stream must be shown with elevations. Y The extent of and plan details for all dissipation or grade control devices should be shown f t'1 with pertinent elevations. For shorter culvert sections, such as for road crossings, a longitudinal cross section that 0 shows the stream bed invert at the inlet and outlet, the existing stream bank elevations and the invert of the inlet and outlet of the pipe(s) must be provided. For shorter culvert sections, such as for road crossings, a vertical cross section must be .1l provided that shows the stream cross section at the inlet and outlet overlain with the tt'` culvert and fill cross section. For bottomless culverts or other spans, a vertical cross section should be provided that shows the minimum distance from each span to each stream bank, the stream cross section, the height of the span above the stream and the minimum distance from the edge of each footer to each stream bank. For bottomless culverts or other spans, a plan view must be provided that shows the J location of the spans and the stream banks. For longer culverts or culverts that will pass beneath substantial impervious cover, it will be necessary to provide adequate plan detail to show that discharge velocity/energy will be adequately dissipated. .?? 4 *.- I- VICA 5 Aquatic life passage through culverts is typically achieved by placing the invert of the culvert below the existing bed of the stream per the USACE or North Carolina Wildlife ` Resource Commission guidelines. Other methods such as baffles may also be used. `J Please be aware that such placement may require the use of grade/velocity control measures up or down stream of culverts on steeper streams to prevent head-cuts or stream bed erosion. The culvert placement relative to the stream bed can be indicated on the longitudinal profile. Grade and velocity control measures must be indicated on the plan view and typical designs should be provided. Multiple culverts, wide culverts or sectioned box culverts typically require the use of sills, off-setting or other means to match the cross section of the existing stream (in order to maintain stream stability and provide aquatic life passage). A vertical cross section of the culverts should be shown overlain with the up and downstream stream cross section including the stream flood-prone area. Impacts associated with dam construction must indicate and enumerate all fill associated a with the dam foot print, spillway and any bank stream bank stabilization. The length of ` stream impounded must also be indicated and enumerated. Stream Relocations: Stream relocations must be conducted as specified in General Certification numbers 3402 and 3404 (available on the Wetlands Unit web site). Stream relocation plans must include: Morphological measurements (see Appendix B of the Internal Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina available on the Wetlands Unit web site) - not all of the measurements are applicable in every instance. Typical stream cross sections - Typically, a riffle cross section and a pool cross section that includes the entire flood prone area. The bankfull and flood prove area elevations should be indicated. Similarly, a riffle cross section of the reference stream(s) should be provided. Plan view - Provide scaled plans that show the location of the proposed (preferably with stationing) and the existing stream. In most instances, the bankfull contours and flood prone area contours, in stream structures, bank revetments/stabilization, channel plugs, planting plan, vegetation conditions, stormwater outlets, grade controls, bridges, culverts, sewer lines, roads, fencing, and easement lines should also be provided. Longitudinal Stream Profile - A scaled profile that indicates the thalweg, bankfull, and top of bank elevations should be provided for the design and reference streams. In many cases, it will also be necessary to show the existing land elevations for the design stream. Planting Plan - A planting and/or vegetation management plan should also be provided that makes use of appropriate native vegetation. The plan should indicate the extent, density, and species of plants to be provided. In-stream structure, bank revetment/stabilization, and stormwater outlet typicals - Detailed, typical plans should be provided for all in stream structures, bank revetments or stabilization, and stormwater outlets. The typicals should include materials and specifications as well as relative lengths, positions, and angles. Sediment transport analysis - A sediment transport analysis should. be provided based on the current, relevant, accepted practices. The sediment transport analysis should be ?. relevant to the stream bed load type and should predict bed load transport equilibrium. Permanent conservation easement or similar means of protection must also be provided. Other Information: f 1. The project should always be referred to by this name in all correspondence as well as the DWQ # once it is provided. 2. This only applies to DOT projects, which are not expected to utilize the Express Review Program. 3. This should be the size of the project as identified by the USACE for 404 Permits or by the Division of Water Quality for Buffer Approvals and Isolated Wetland Permits. J 4. Please provide the name (as depicted on the USGS topographic map and DWQ Stream Classification Lists) of the nearest water body(ies) to which your project is a tributary to (e.g. "Neuse River (Falls Lake below normal pool elevation)"). (Do not simple state "stream", "river", "ocean", "sound" or "lake".) Please provide the "stream index number" of the named water body or water body section (e.g. "27-(1)"). Also, please provide the full water quality classification (e.g. "WS-IV NSW CA") of the water body. This information can be obtained from the DWQ web site http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/bims/Reports/reportsWB.html. J 5. Please state which river basin and sub-basin that your project is in (e.g. "Neuse River Basin, NEU01"). This information can be obtained from the DWQ web site http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/bims/Reports/reportsWB.htmi. 6. Conditions should also be indicated on the existing site plan where applicable. Photos (including aerial photos) can be helpful in describing the existing conditions. J 7. You must provide an attachment that explicitly describes what the proposed project will entail from the planning stage to final construction. 8. This can be a simple explanation, but it is critically important because the purpose dictates how the no practical alternatives are reviewed. SECTION IV - RIOR PROJECT HISTORY Please include copies of all 401 Water Quality Certifications, Isolated Wetland Permits, Buffer Approvals, USACE Permits, CAMA Permits for the site as well as a copy of the final approved, site plan. SECTION V - FUTURE PROJECT PLANS For projects utilizing the express review process, all impacts both present and potential future must be indicated. For instance, the location or configuration of platted lots sometimes suggests that future impacts will be necessary to build, access, or otherwise develop such lots. Failure to account for such potential impacts could delay or disqualify a project from the rapid review process. If you believe that the lot can be developed without impacts, but you anticipate that your assertion may be questioned, it is recommended that you provide a potential building foot print and/or grading plan to show that future impacts could be avoided. SECTION VI -PROPOSED IMPACTS TO WATER OF THE US 1. It is recommended that the individual impacts be described if there are special things to note about the impacts. Typically the most important thing is to have detailed ac rate site plans as described above. Please make sure they are clearly labeled. ? Please include all proposed temporary impacts. 1 / 7 Also, a current, signed delineation map from the USACE should be provided (if available) and a map locating the stream origins signed by the appropriate DWQ Staff must be provided if applicable. 2. Each impact to a wetland must be clearly labeled and identified on the site plan. The type of impact must be clearly stated. If the impact is temporary, a specific plan must be described or shown as to how the wetland will be restored. Keep in mind that the USACE delineates some features as wetlands that DWQ calls streams. Please list any impacts in this table that DWQ would identify as a stream. If there is any doubt, it is recommended that the impacts be listed as streams. Please follow current DWQ policy with respect to whether a stream is perennial or not. It is recommended that you assume that a stream is perennial (unless you are positive that it is not) so if mitigation is required then the appropriate amount of mitigation would be anticipated or requested from the EEP or private bank. If the EEP or private bank has pre- approved too short of an amount of stream or if inadequate mitigation is proposed, then that situation will result in delays. 3. 4. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a feature is a modified natural channel or a ditch, especially in the eastern part of the State. Soils, drainage features, topography, and similar factors, all are important for making that determination. Other items to address not specifically requested in the application include downstream sediment starvation, thermal pollution, low flow releases from dams, and aquatic life passage. Other important considerations are buffer reestablishment or mitigation around ponds on buffered streams. The site plan should include the precise elevation contour of the normal pool as well as the dam foot-print. Mitigation is required for wetland flooding of an acre or greater and for stream fill (if over the 150 foot threshold) under the dam foot-print and any outlet stabilization. SECTION VII - AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION Avoidance and minimization are critical aspects of an application particularly if you desire the application to be processed expeditiously. The following is a check-list of avoidance and minimization questions that DWQ S f often look for in applications. Are there any stream crossings at angles less than 75° or greater than 105°? Are there any stream crossings that cross two streams above or at the confluence of those streams? Are there any stream, wetland, water, and/or buffer impacts other than perpendicular road crossing near the edges of the property? Can the stream be relocated as a natural channel design as opposed to culverted or otherwise filled? Is any single stream crossed more than once? Can property access routes be moved or reduced to avoid stream, wetland, water, and buffer impacts? Can a building, parking lot, etc. be realigned to avoid impacts? Can the site layout be reconfigured to avoid impacts? Can headwalls or steeper side slopes be used to avoid/minimize impacts? Can a retaining wall be used to avoid/minimize impacts? Can cul de sacs be used in place of a crossing? Can lots be reshaped or have shared driveways to avoid impacts? If based solely on the practicable physical possibility, the answer is "yes" to any of the above questions then you must have to provide substantial and convincing justification as to why the impacts are necessary. If the impacts are required by a local government or other agency, the claim must be supported with appropriate written documentation from the local government or other agency. Most projects typically involve the need to justify avoidance and minimization. If this information is not readily available, then the express review process may not be the appropriate venue to use. Providing alternative plans (such as plans that avoid the impact, minimize the impact and the preferred plan, similar to those used in environmental assessments) and explanations as to why the preferred plan is needed and why the alternative plans won't work are many times helpful in the no practical alternatives review. SECTION VIII - MITIGATION Mitigation for the Express Review Program, final mitigation plans must be presented up front. The final plans (except for plans that propose payment into the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund, private mitigation banks, or similar banking instruments) must contain detailed plans, specifications, calculations and other supporting data that show that the appropriate mitigation will be achieved at the ratios required. The design plans must be developed to at least the "90%" level. Monitoring plans must be final and specific. Any means of permanent protection, such as a permanent conservation easement must be provided. If you elect to use the EEP or a private mitigation bank, it is recommended that you request the maximum possible mitigation amount that DWQ may require so that you will not have to get further approval from them on short notice. The EEP and private banks are not part of the expedited review process and cannot be expected to meet any such deadlines. There will be no conditional expedited approvals that require final plans at a later date. It is not recommended that innovative mitigation techniques or greater than 10% preservation be requested as part of an expedited process. SECTION IX If your project requires the preparation of an environmental document under NEPA or SEPA and an approval letter has not been issued by the State Clearinghouse, then you cannot apply under the expedited review process. 1 t is your responsibility to find out if such documentation is required. SECTION X There are many aspects of the Buffer Rules that must be addressed in every application, if applicable. The first and most important thing to keep in mind is that allowable activities that require written Approval from DWQ triggers a review of the entire project for compliance with the Buffer Rules. Diffuse Flow & Stormwater Management: The most common issues that arise involve the requirement for diffuse flow of stormwater through riparian buffers. Basically one of three things must be indicated in regards to all "new" stormwater that is collected and subsequently discharged. First, provisions for diffuse flow through the protected buffer must be made. This usually involves the use of level spreading devices designed to the latest DWQ guidance on level spreader design, which is available on our web site. Please keep in mind that it does not matter how far a discharge point is from a buffer. The stormwater must be flowing in a diffuse manner at whatever point it eventually reaches the buffer. If the stormwater will not be flowing in a diffuse manner through the protected buffer at the point it reaches the buffer, then one of the following options may be allowed: You may provide a nitrogen removing measure such as a forested filter strip, grassed swale, stormwater wetland, etc. The measure employed should be designed according to the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual or other DWQ Guidance available at h!! //h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/mitresto.htm1. After the nitrogen is treated, the stormwater can be directly conveyed through the buffer with written DWQ approval. You may discharge the stormwater to an existing man-made conveyance that currently conveys stormwater through the protected buffer (assuming the conveyance was not constructed in violation of the Rules) as long as that conveyance does not need to be altered to convey the flow. Please remember that there are no other choices. The following checklist is intended to help insure that your application will not be deemed incomplete as a result of improper stormwater design. Stormwater Management (for Buffer Rules compliance only - Also, see Section XI): All stormwater out-falls must be clearly shown and labeled on the site plan for projects in Buffered watersheds. List each out-fall as labeled: Option 1: Level spreading devices esig test-BWQ-Guidara:e,--and devices that merely control velocity but do not provide diffuse flow such as rip rap dissipators are not proposed. List each of these out-falls as labeled on the site plan and provide a DWQ worksheet available at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/mitresto.html:? Qa0- Option 2: Nitrogen removing measures designed to DWQ Standards are proposed for discharges for which diffuse flow through a protected Buffer cannot be met. List each of these out-falls as labeled on the site plan and provide a DWQ worksheet available at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/mitresto.html: E XC 1 • 01 Option 3: The stormwater will be discharged to an existing man-made (not including modified natural channels) conveyance that carries the stormwater through the Buffer. The conveyance was not constructed in violation of the Buffer Rules. List each out-fall as labeled: All stormwater out-fall must meet one of the options above. (Note: if you cannot check this box your application will likely not be accepted into the express review process.) Site Plans: All applications on properties with DWQ protected buffers must clearly depict the buffers and any impacts to the buffers on the site plans. The impact maps should clearly depict both zones of the protected buffers and the proposed impact areas (provided in square feet). Surface Water & Buffer Delineations: Any surface waters subject to DWQ protected buffers must be field located and accurately depicted on the site plans and impact maps. The width, dimensions and pattern of the surface water must be delineated. The surface water location must not be taken simply from a USGS map, soil survey or local municipality's map. The buffers must be measured from the surface water as required within the applicable buffer protection rule (e.g., all buffers along streams subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule must be measured from the "top-of- bank" of the stream and not the centerline of the stream). All streams must be surveyed or located by GPS and shown precisely on the site plans. Impact Table: Please provide additional impact tables that clearly state the area of impact for each corresponding impact site. 10 ? Projects that require a Minor, Major and/or "General" Variance will not be eligible for the use of the Express Review Program. Mitigation: lt? As opposed to applications that are submitted under our regular process, final mitigation plans must be presented up front (see requirements for Section VIII above). The mitigation plans must comply with the applicable buffer mitigation rule. ariances: SECTION XI - STORMWATER Please provide the following information in regards to potential stormwater requirements: The total acreage of the site. (acres) The total built-out impervious acreage (acres) The total area that will be disturbed (acres) (?v If the total area exceeds 20% imperviousness, the development on the site is uniform in • density, and you claim that the total impervious area is less than 30%, you must provide a complete, detailed breakdown of the assumed built-out conditions. The breakdown must ?C be detailed enough to show that all potential impervious areas are accounted for. If there are concentrated areas of.development such as multi-family, commercial, cluster, Lj club houses, etc. that exceed 30% imperviousness and the total imperviousness for the site does not exceed 30%, a stormwater management plan will likely be required for those areas that exceed 30% imperviousness. Stormwater management plans must be complete with a final design and an executed Operation and Maintenance Agreement. There will be no conditional stormwater approvals for the express review process that allow for approval of the final plans at a later date. / Worksheets must be provided that are available at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/mitresto.html. SECTION XII - SEWAGE DISPOSAL Response must be clear and detailed. Any disposal method that suggests further impacts may be required other than those shown must be clearly addressed on the site plans. SECTION XIII Answering yes to either of these responses automatically precludes you from the express review process. SECTION XIV - SIGNATURE The name, position and/or title of the applicant must be in type or long hand script here with the signature. It should be the same person as described in Part II. If you have any questions about these requirements, please email the Express Review Program at 401express@ncmail.net and include your question and phone number and the appropriate staff will respond as soon as possible. 3c0 ?O O N 00 N zw .o a u W Old V) 0 O U a a Q L7 C7 O O cl b U O Wz ?a A ? 3a ?

LEVEL SPREADER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT The level spreader is defined as an elongated, level threshold, designed to diffuse stormwater runoff. Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows: 1. After construction and until vegetation has been established, level spreader(s) shall be inspected after every rainfall. Thereafter, level spreader(s) shall be inspected at least every month and more frequently during the fall season and after heavy rainfall events: a. Accumulated sediment, leaves, and trash shall be removed, and repairs made if required. b. Inspect level spreader(s) for evidence of scour, undercutting, settlement of the structure, and concentrated flows downhill from the level spreader(s). c. A level elevation shall be maintained across the entire flow-spreading structure at all times. Repair or replace the level spreader if it is damaged. d. Mow vegetative cover to a height of six (6) inches and prune plants if they cover over half of the level spreader surface. e. Repair eroded areas and replace/replant dead or damaged vegetation. 2. The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on and prevent construction traffic across the structure. If the measure is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be repaired immediately. 3.

Project Information Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings, impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion, so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format; however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided. 1. Name of project: WINCHESTER DRIVE EXTENSION (City of Raleigh) 2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): (Portion of U-2823) 3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 0777837906 4. Location County: Wake Nearest Town: Raleigh Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): The project is located east of the existing Winchester Drive, west of Turkey Creek and south of Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, Wake County NC (see attached map, Mr. Joshi will only be permitting the section on his property and west of Turkey Creek). Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.) Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 35.8774°N 78.7350°W (WGS84/NAD83) 6. Property size (acres): N/A (linear road construction project) 7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Turkey Creek (Stream Index # 27-33-2, C NSW) 8. River Basin: Upper Neuse (DWQ 03-04-02: USGS Catalog Unit 03020201) (Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://h2o.cnr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.) Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The existing conditions on the site include vacant land previously used as residential and nursery operations. The general land use in the vicinity of the project includes residential to the south and commercial/retail business along the Page 2 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 US70/Glenwood Avenue corridor. A townhome development adjacent to the proposed Winchester Drive Extension is currently under various stages of development. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project involves the construction and extension of Winchester Drive and a connector road to US70/Glenvood Avenue for the City of Raleigh. The project will not impact Turkey Creek or it's associated Neuse River Buffers at this time although a bridge is currently proposed for the crossing some time in the future. The impacts proposed within this application are associated with the replacement of an existing driveway pipe with a new stormwater bypass pipe and grassed road shoulders The new stormwater pipe will bypass off site drainage. All on site runoff from the new road will be treated via grassed swales. We believe this approach to be consistent with projects previously reviewed by the DWQ. Equipment to be used include standard heavy equipment (excavators, etc.) typically used for such road construction. 10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed work is to complete construction of the portion of Winchester Drive from the northern property line south to Turkey Creek. The proposed road is currently located on Glenwood Lane, LLC's property but will be transferred to the City once construction is complete and is part of their thoroughfare plan (see attached letter from 1he City n Raleigh dated January 9, 2006). The road will currently end prior to crossing Turkey Creek or it's associated Neuse River Buffers. The road alignment has been discussed with staff from your office and was tentatively accepted pending any necessary 401 and buffer approvals with the understanding that when the road does ultimately extend across Turkey Creek that a bridge will be used (see attached DWO meeting report dated Aufiust 9. 2005). IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. Please refer to the attached letter from the City of Raleigh dated January 9 2006 and DWQ meeting report dated August 9, 2005. A townhome development (Glenwood Station) currently under various stages of development is located to the south of the Winchester Drive Extension project proposed within this application. A drained pond existed on the townhome property. The pond has been drained for many years as you can see on the attached 2004 aerial photo. A wetland existed within the pond bottom that was exempted from the buffer rules by Mr. Danny Smith DWQ) back in 1999 and was approved to be filled by the DWQ in February 2005 (DWQ Project # 05-0205) and USACE in August 2005 (AID # 200421396). Payment was made to and received by the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP to mitigate for the impacts as a conditional requirement of the USACE approval. As stated within Page 3 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 the City of Raleigh letter, Winchester Drive is an element of the US 70 Corridor Plan and NCDOT Transportation Improvement Plan (U-2823). 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. No future permit requests are anticipated for this project or on the adjacent properties. VI. 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. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should 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: The proposed impacts include 1,178 sf of buffer and 40 feet of intermittent stream for the replacement of an existing driveway pipe with a new stormwater bypass pipe and rock energy dissipater. Additional buffer impacts include approximately 979 sf of "exempt" Zone 2 impacts associated with the grassed road shoulder. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No Page 5 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 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.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: * The construction of a pond is not proposed for this project. VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The Dronosed imnacts are reauired for the construction of the Winchester Drive Extension. The need for the proposed road and alignment were previously discussed with the DWQ most recently in a meeting conducted in July 2005 (see attached DWQ Meeting Report dated August 9, 2005). A detailed description as to the need for the proposed road is provided in the attached letter from the City of Raleigh dated January 9, 2006. The proposed alignment was located to the south so as to avoid impacts to the unnamed tributary stream except for 40 feet associated with a pipe replacement and new rock dissipater). VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted Page 6 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at littn:Hli2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litm1. 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. The only impacts to surface waters proposed by this project are to 40 feet of an unnamed, intermittent stream. S&EC personnel have evaluated the stream and do not believe that it contains significant aquatic life or function typical of streams in which the USACE requires mitigation. S&EC does not anticipate that mitigation will be required for the 40 feet of intermittent stream impacts and as such a mitigation plan has not been provided. The applicant proposes payment into NCEEP to comply with this mitigation condition_ if determined to be required by the USACE. S&EC will contact EEP to enter the program if the USACE determines that mitiuation will be reauired. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at littp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): Page 7 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) February 17, 2006 1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No 2. 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)?

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 ? X. 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. 1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? Yes ® No ? 2. If "yes", 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. Road - Pipe Replacement / Bypass Pipe & Rock Dissipater (Allowable) Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 774 3 (2 for Catawba) 0 2 404 1.5 0 Total 1,178 0 Grassed Road Shoulder (Exemntl Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 0 3 (2 for Catawba) 0 2 979 1.5 0 Total 979 0 Page 8 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0244, or.0260. The impacts proposed within this application are associated with the replacement of an existing driveway pipe with a new stormwater bypass pipe and grassed road shoulders as required for the construction of the Winchester Drive Extension. The new stormwater pipe will bypass off site drainage. All on site runoff from the new road will be treated via grassed swales prior to entering the pipe We believe this approach to be consistent with projects previously reviewed by the DWQ and is considered an "allowable" use within the Neuse River Buffer Rule as a new stornnvater conveyance discharging from a stornnvater management facility that controls nitrogen and a road crossing less than 113 acre and 150 feet. S&EC believes that the Zone 2 impacts associated with the grassed road shoulders are considered an "exempt" use within the Neuse River Buffer Rule as grading and revegetation within Zone 2. As such S&EC does not believe that buffer mitigation will be required for the proposed impacts. If mitigation is determined to be required, the applicant proposes payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund administered by EEP. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (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. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The proposed project involves the construction of a linear transportation facility (Winchester Drive Extension). As such while the project area (within the road right of way) most likely will exceed 30% impervious cover, the DWQ has not typically required additional stormwater management for such transportation projects (beyond compliance with the diffuse flow provision of the Neuse Buffer Rule). All stormwater runoff from this new road extension will be treated via grassed swales designed in accordance with the latest NC DENR Stormwater BMP Manual prior to discharging to the stream. Designs, worksheets and calculations are attached for your review. The townhome development to the south of the project was previously reviewed and approved by the DWQ in February 2005 (DWQ Project # 05-0205). The adjacent properties will comply with the City of Raleigh Neuse River Nutrient Removal and other stormwater regulations. XII. 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. XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Page 9 of 10 Winchester Dirve Extension NWP14, GC3404 & Buffer February 17, 2006 Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (I 5A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes El No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: The proposed project includes stormwater treatment via grassed swales to protect downstream water quality. In addition, the adjacent properties will be comply with all City of Raleigh Nitrogen Removal and other stormwater regulations. The townhome property south of the road was reviewed and approved by the DWQ in February 2005 (DW Project # 05-0205). XV. 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). The proposed project is currently waiting on final approval from the City of Raleigh as a result of obtaining DWQ approval for the buffer and stream impacts. ,W eau ' Sign`nfure Date signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

This proposed roadway is an element of the US 70 Corridor Plan, which is an adopted transportation plan that was developed by NCDOT and the City of Raleigh in 1991. This plan proposes a system of parallel collector streets along US 70. These streets are intended to provide alternate means of access at such time that US 70 is upgraded to an expressway facility. This expressway upgrade is anticipated in conjunction with a funded NCDOT Transportation Improvement Program Project (U-2823), which will entail widening the roadway and removing direct access to many of the properties along the corridor. These parallel collector streets will become the primary means of access for most of the properties along the highway. The proposed construction of Winchester Drive will result in the immediate restriction of access to US 70 by the adjacent properties. There have been many efforts to construct the extension of Winchester Drive since the late 1990's. At one time this project was a fully-funded and permitted public-private partnership between the City and a developer, however that project did not move forward. There has also been some discussion with your office as to a variety of alignment options for this roadway. It is my understanding that your office has expressed tentative support for the alignment as currently proposed, pkovided that the necessary crossing of Turkey Creek is facilitated by a bridge. Regardless of the type of technology used to cross the creek, it is imperative that the City receives feedback regarding the adequacy ' of the crossingIocatf6n in queStMn pilb to approving T' development pattern that would preclude any other alternatives. We remain committed to avoiding Neuse River riparian buffer impacts whenever possible, and to minimizing any impacts we cannot avoid. We hope that our approval of this development plan is in keeping with that philosophy. If you have any questions or need any other information, please' give me a call at (919) 516-2161 or email me at eric.lamb®ci.ralcigh.nc.us. Sincerely, Eric J.

Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Ms. Deborah Edwards represented the 401 Oversight & Express Permitting Unit of the DWQ and Mr. Eric Kulz represented the Raleigh Regional Office of the DWQ. Also present were Mr. Paul Kallan (City of Raleigh, Public Works Department, Transportation Services Division), Ms. Beth Trahos (Holt York), Mr. Randy King (Areadis) and myself. We discussed the proposed road alignment as depicted on the attached drawing. Ms. Edwards said that the alignment looked ok as long as a bridge is used over Turkey, Creek and Impact #I (the proposed impacts to the riparian buffers associated with the unnamed 4ributary stream) is avoided or at ieastminimized (e.g., no impacts to Zone 1). Ms. Edwards stated that while the alignment looked ok she could not give .a formal approval without the submittal of a complete application and formal review by the DWQ. We appreciate the opportunity to provide our environmental services on this project. If there ar6 an} ,questions or comments regarding the report, please contact us at 919-846-5900.

On that day, you requested that I both determined whether the circled drainage feature, as indicated on the attached map, would require compliance with the Neuse River Buffer Rules and provide you with written conformation of that determination. As depicted on the attached map, this evaluation determined the pond footprint did not house forest vegetation and was accordingly not subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Downstream from the pond dam the determination was that the feature is a stream and is subject to the Ncuse Riparian Buffer Rule.
