Re: Little Rock Greenway
Request for Buffer Compliance
W&R Project Number - 02070909
Dear Ms. Karoly:
r.7,-130R
SEP 2 ? 2008
DENR - WATER UuA;;.C ('r
WETLANDS AND STORMINATER BRANCH
On behalf of the City of Raleigh, we are requesting Buffer Compliance from the NC-
DWQ for the impacts to riparian buffers associated with the installation of a
Greenway Trail. The proposed buffer impacts consist of 15,246 SF (Z1: 11,761 & Z2:
3485) for the installation of the greenway trail. The impacts are summarized on the
overall impact map as well as the PCN form.
The proposed corridor is 2,400 feet in length and is located north of Peterson Street,
approximately 1,500 feet east of the intersection of Garner Road (SR 1004) and
Peterson Street. Latitude: 35.7633181°N and Longitude: 78.6257168°W in Raleigh,
Wake County, North Carolina. The site contains unnamed tributaries to Walnut Creek
and is located in the Neuse River Basin. The Water Quality Classification for these
features is: C;NSW, the Cataloging Unit for this site is: 030202o1, and the Stream
Index number is: 27-34-4)•
Project History
Wetlands were delineated by Withers & Ravenel during February 2oo8. A site
meeting was conducted with the NC-DWQ on April 7, 2oo8 to confirm our buffer
determinations. A copy of the buffer letter is included in the attachments.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to designing the greenway, a wetland delineation was conducted so that
impacts to `waters' and buffers could be minimized. Several site constraints
dictated the location of the greenway corridor and therefore, parallel impacts to the
buffer could not be avoided. Specifically, in exhibit 1, a parking lot on the north side
of the trail required that we shift the corridor to the south, and on the eastern side of
the creek, an existing BMP, required additional parallel impacts to the buffer. The
trail alignment was also constrained by fixed `tie-in' points connect to the existing
trail network. In order to eliminate impacts to jurisdictional waters, pedestrian
bridges will be used at the creek crossings.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
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. Prior to designing the
gxeenway, a wetland delineation was conducted so that impacts to `waters' and buffers could be
minimized Several site constraints dictated the location of the egr enwav corridor and therefore,
parallel impacts to the buffer could not be avoided. Specifically, in exhibit 1, a parkin lg_ot on
the north side of the trail required that we shift the corridor to the south, and on the eastern side
of the creek an existing BMP required additional parallel impacts to the buffer. The trail
alignment was also constrained by fixed `tie-in' points connect to the existing trail network. In
order to eliminate impacts to jurisdictional waters pedestrian bridges will be used at the creek
crossings.
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
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
Page 5 of 8
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or 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
htip://b2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
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.
NA - No impacts to jurisdictional waters are being proposed.
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
[phone] 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.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): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
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 [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
Page 6 of 8
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 ?
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 2B .0233
(Neuse), 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.

* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
3. 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. Greenway trails are considered allowable in
the buffer rules table of uses and, therefore; mitigation is not being proposed.
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. NA

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.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: The
proposed project is being constructed to provide an amenity to the existing residents in the
adjacent subdivision, therefore, we do not believe that the project will result in additional
development or degradation of downstream water quality.
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).
