Re: Bridgeport PCN
Ms. Higgins,
2 0 1 70 5 9 0
Attached please find the PCN for the proposed single-family development known as Bridgeport
located in Wake Forest, NC. The applicant is Andrew Sandman of Dos Bros, LLC. Four copies
of the PCN along with the application fee are attached. The Town of Wake Forest is responsible
for the review of the storm water plan. ESI has reviewed the project area with both the Army
Corps and NCDWR.
Proposed wetland impacts account for 0.34 acre of medium quality headwater forest resulting for
the entrance road and a storm water pond. The applicant is proposing to mitigate for the impact
at a 1.5:1 ratio and preserve the remaining 4.3 acres of high quality bottomland hardwood forest.
ACOE will review and consider this mitigation approach.
The applicant also wishes to inform DWR that there are future plans for the widening of
Forestville Road, which will result is potential impacts to an onsite Neuse buffer. Permitting of
this impact will be the responsibility of the entity widening the road.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information during your review.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Environmenta Services, Inc.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The applicant is having to construct the entrance road across from the high school entrance per DOT requirements. The wetland that is proposed for
impact cannot be avoided at this location. The storm water pond is proposed in a naturally low area that contains a portion of the disturbed headwater
wetland. No other wetlands or WOTUS will be impacted as a result of the project. No impacts to the floodplain of Sanford Creek are proposed.

All necessary sediment and erosion control BMPs will be installed and maintained through construction. Disturbed ground will be restored and
stabilized with permanent vegetative cover.

Ground Surface Condition/Vegetation Condition — assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider alteration to the ground surface (GS) in the assessment area and vegetation structure

2. Surface and Subsurface Storage Capacity and Duration — assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration (Surf) and sub -surface storage capacity and
duration (Sub). Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. Refer to the current NRCS lateral effect of ditching guidance for
North Carolina hydric soils (see USACE Wilmington District website) for the zone of influence of ditches in hydric soils. A ditch
51 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only, while a ditch > 1 foot deep is expected to affect both surface and ditch
sub -surface water. Consider tidal flooding regime, if applicable.

potentially overwhelming the treatment capacity of the wetland (water discoloration, dead vegetation, excessive
sedimentation, odor)
6. Land Use - opportunity metric
Check all that apply (at least one box in each column). Evaluation involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. Consider sources
draining to assessment area within entire upstream watershed (WS), within 5 miles and within the watershed draining to the
assessment area (5M), and within 2 miles and within the watershed draining to the assessment area (2M). Effective riparian buffers
are considered to be 50 feet wide in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont ecoregions and 30 feet wide in the Blue Ridge Mountains ecoregion.

that prevent drainage or overbank flow from affecting the assessment area.
7. Wetland Acting as Vegetated Buffer -assessment area/wetland complex condition metric
7a. Is assessment area within 50 feet of a tributary or other open water?
r: Yes r~ No If Yes, continue to 7b. If No, skip to Metric 8.

C` B Sediment deposition is excessive, but not overwhelming the wetland.
C Sediment deposition is excessive and is overwhelming the wetland.
11. Wetland Size —wetland type/wetland complex condition metric
Check a box in each column. Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This metric evaluates three aspects of the wetland area: the
size of the wetland type (WT), the size of the wetland complex (WC), and the size of the forested wetland (FW) (if applicable, see User
Manual). See the User Manual for boundaries of these evaluation areas. If assessment area is clear-cut, select 'K7 for the FW column.

13. Connectivity to Other Natural Areas — landscape condition metric
13a. Check appropriate box(es) (a box may be checked in each column). Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This
evaluates whether the wetland is well connected (Well) and/or loosely connected (Loosely) to the landscape patch, the contiguous
metric naturally vegetated area and open water (if appropriate). Boundaries are formed by four -lane roads, regularly maintained utility
line corridors the width of a four -lane road or wider, urban landscapes, fields (pasture open and agriculture), or water > 300 feet wide.

15. Vegetative Composition — assessment area condition metric (skip for all marshes and Pine Flat)
f+ A Vegetation is close to reference condition in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of appropriate
species, with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area.
r B Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species
characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or
clearing. It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata.
f ' C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition. Expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non -
characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species). Exotic species are dominant in
at least one stratum.

1`' B Vegetation diversity is low or has > 10% to 50% cover of exotics.
C C Vegetation is dominated by exotic species (>50% cover of exotics).

17. vegetative structure — assessment arewwetiana type conaition metric
17a. Is vegetation present?

13. Connectivity to Other Natural Areas — landscape condition metric
13a. Check appropriate box(es) (a box may be checked in each column). Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This
evaluates whether the wetland is well connected (Well) and/or loosely connected (Loosely) to the landscape patch, the contiguous
metric naturally vegetated area and open water (if appropriate). Boundaries are formed by four -lane roads, regularly maintained utility
line corridors the width of a four -lane road or wider, urban landscapes, fields (pasture open and agriculture), or water > 300 feet wide.

May involve a GIS effort with field adjustment. Estimate distance from wetland type boundary to artificial edges. Artificial edges include
non -forested areas 2 40 feet wide such as fields, development, roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors and clear -cuts.
Consider the eight main points of the compass.

15. Vegetative Composition — assessment area condition metric (skip for all marshes and Pine Flat)
r A Vegetation is close to reference condition in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of appropriate
species, with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area.
(: B Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species
characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or
clearing. It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata.

characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species). Exotic species are dominant in
at least one stratum.

• C Vegetation is dominated by exotic species (>50% cover of exotics).
