Subject: Taft Hollow (renamed Taft Woods West)
Modified Pre-Construction Notification Application
Wilders Township, Johnston County
Dear Mrs. Chapman,
This package is in response to the NOV my client received on September 3, 2008
(attached). The violations included lack of diffused flow via level spreaders and a
walking trail was installed partially inside the riparian buffer.
The level spreaders were installed at the entrance on Monday September 29, 2008. We
are requesting the walking trail be allowed to remain and as a result I have enclosed a
Modified PCN for this project as advised by Lauren Witherspoon, requesting only Buffer
Rule approval.
There are no streams or wetland impacts involved only buffer impacts.
Please note that this area has many old "moonshine" or "hunting" paths/trails. During the
original topo of this property only some of these "old" paths were located and they have
been identified on the impact map. It was not known at the time of the survey, that this
would be crucial information. By looking at where the "old" path terminated, it is
obvious that the entire "old" path is not shown. As a result, it can not be proven that more
of the walking trail follows the "old" path. But according to the Developer, (and it can be
reasonably assumed) that less impacts were created than indicated here.
Please take this into consideration.
Addressing the required response:
1. I have included a map showing the stream, riparian buffer and the existing trial.
Part of this trail was existing and my client used it to the extent possible. These
areas have been identified on the map and quantified.
2. There is not a buffer authorization for the trail. My client, in conversations with a
resident of the subdivision was told that this type of activity (with no trees being
cut down) did not require a permit.
3. The level spreaders have been installed at the entrance and attached is the
modified PCN for the walking trail.
4. A restoration plan will not be required if the Modified PCN is granted.
5. Please find the Modified PCN attached.
Please find attached:
1. Original permit from the Corp of Engineers. Action ID# 200520983 issued
07/01/05.
2. Original permit from NCDWQ. Project# 05-0894 issued 06/07/05.
3. The NOV notice received on 09/03/08.
4. Five copies of a complete Modified Pre-Construction Notification Application
package for the walking trail.
5. Pictures of the walking trail
6. Recorded plats of Taft Woods West sections 1-3 (formally Taft Hollow)
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please give me a call at

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
ripmp 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.

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.This walking trail was installed
as environmentally friendly as possible meandering between trees with a small Bobcat machine
to install the trail. I'm told there were no trees cut down during the construction The trail was
installed to be an amenity for the residents of the development There were already existing trails
in the buffer and they were utilized to the extent possible See attachment for further explanation
of avoidance and minimization.
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
Page 9 of 12
AVOIDANCE and MINIMIZATION
Please note that this area has many old "moonshine" or "hunting"
paths/trails. During the original topo of this property only some of these
"old" paths were located and they have been identified on the impact map. It
was not known at the time of the survey, that this would be crucial
information. By looking at where the "old" path terminated, it is obvious
that the entire "old" path is not shown. As a result, it can not be proven that
more of the walking trail follows the "old" path. But according to the
Developer, (and it can be reasonably assumed) that less impacts were
created than indicated here.
Please take this into consideration.
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
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
htti)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrngide.html.
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.
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 htip://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/yM/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information:

• 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization
Certificate per the Neuse River Buffer Protection Rules
Violation
• Neuse River Riparian Buffer Violation
Dear Madam:
On January 28, 2008 N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) personnel Vicki Fuentes and
Shelton Sullivan conducted a site inspection at the Taft Hollow Subdivision located off of Hwy
42 in Johnston County, North Carolina. On July 16, 2008, DWQ personnel, Lauren Witherspoon
from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a follow-up site inspection. The streams on the site
are an unnamed tributary (UT) to Mill Creek and Mill Creek, Class WS-IV NSW waters, in the
Neuse River Basin.
Accordingly, the following observations were noted during the DWQ file review:
Soil and Environmental Consultants, P.A. submitted a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) dated
May 20, 2005 and additional information dated June 3, 2005 on behalf of Patricia Schlecht. The
impacts were requested under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 39 and the
corresponding General Water Quality Certification 3402. DWQ issued an approval letter dated
June 7, 2005 for the impacts to a stream and its associated buffers (DWQ Project # 05-0894).
The 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River
Buffer Protection Rules (DWQ Project# 05-0894) authorizes 8,281 ftZ of Zone 1 and 4,084 fl of
Zone 2 buffer impacts associated with road crossing of a UT to Mill Creek. In addition, six level
spreaders were depicted on Sheet 1 of 1 of the PCN that was included in this approval..
DWQ observations during the July 16, 2008 site inspection include:
¦ The lack of diffuse flow where the level spreaders were proposed and not installed;
¦ The Mill Dam Trail is located in the Neuse Riparian buffer along the UT to Mill Creek Carolina
and Mill Creek. The trail is comprised of crushed gravel. A61WO&Y

As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violation, detailed below, is noted:
(I) 401 WQC and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River Buffer Protection
Rules Violation
(II) Neuse River Riparian Buffer Violation
Item I. 401 WQC and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River Buffer Protection
Rules Violation
A file review revealed that a 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse Buffer Authorization
Certificate approved impacts to 8,281 ft2 of Zone I and 4,084 ft2 of Zone 2 buffer impacts
associated with a road crossing of the UT to Mill Creek. In addition, six level spreaders were
depicted on Sheet I of 1 of the PCN that was included in this approval.
However, the site inspection revealed that buffer impacts have occurred in the Neuse Buffer
adjacent to the UT to Mill Creek and Mill Creek associated with a trail which exceeds the buffer
impacts that DWQ authorized. In addition, no level spreaders have been installed.in the Taft
Hollow Subdivision.
Item H. Neuse River Riparian Buffer Violation
The Buffer Rules apply to riparian buffers directly adjacent to surface waters in the Neuse River
Basin (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds and estuaries). The protected buffer
extends 50-feet landward from the landward edge of coastal marsh (as identified by the Division
of Coastal Management) or from the top of bank of any feature shown as surface waters on either
a paper copy of the soil survey maps prepared by the Natural Resource Conservation Service of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24000 scale quadrangle
topographic maps prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The protected riparian buffer has two zones: Zone I consists of a vegetated area that is
undisturbed except for uses provided for in Item (6) of this Rule (Title 15A NCAC 02B .0233);
Zone 2 shall consists of a stable, vegetated area that is undisturbed except for activities and uses
provided for in Item (6) of this Rule (Title 15A NCAC 02B .0233). The purpose of these rules is
to protect and preserve riparian buffers in the Neuse River Basin to maintain the nutrient removal
functions of these streamside areas necessary to protect surface waters.
15A NCAC 02B .0233 (4) - Zones 1 and 2 of the riparian buffer remain in vegetation that is
undisturbed except for those uses provided for in Item (6) of this Rule.
Neuse Buffer - Diffuse Flow Violation
15A NCAC 02B .0233 (5)
Diffuse flow of runoff shall be maintained in the riparian buffer by dispersing concentrated flow
and reestablishing vegetation.
Required Response
You are directed to respond to this letter in writing within 30 days of receipt. You are
encouraged to secure a consultant to assist you with your response development, permit,
certification and authorization necessary to achieve compliance.
1. Documentation depicting jurisdictional features (e.g. stream and buffers). A description
and quantification of the impacts to those jurisdictional features and your plans to avoid
further buffer impacts on the site.
Page 3
Taft Hollow Subdivision
August 22, 2008
2. Please provide documentation of a buffer authorization for the Mill Dam Trail if it is
available. If not, please explain why impacts without prior authorization.
3. Please explain in your response when and how you anticipate in achieving compliance
with the 401 WQC and Neuse River Riparian Buffer Authorization.
4. Please submit a Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. This plan should
include the following:
a. This riparian buffer plan must be developed to ensure that at least two native tree
species are planted at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees/acre at maturity in the
buffer. This density is usually achieved by planting approximately 436 trees/acre on a
10 ft x 10 ft grid or 681 trees/acre on an 8 ft x 8 ft grid. Please see the Guidelines for
Riparian Buffer Restoration (October 2004) for assistance in developing your plan
(available on the web at: hM://www.aggep,.net/news/reports/buffers.ro)d fl. This plan
must include the types -of native woody vegetatiort selected, methodology of planting,
and a site map indicating the location of the replanting efforts.
b. Include a detailed implementation schedule with dates explaining when the
buffer restoration will be accomplished. This schedule should include a three-
year monitoring plan to ensure that the riparian buffer is restored. It is
important that you adhere to this new plan once approved by DWQ and if you
make any modifications to it, that DWQ approve them.
5. If you wish for any buffer impacts to remain in place you must apply for a modification
of the 401 WQC and Neuse Buffer Authorization.
