APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Adams:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 135 linear feet of perennial streams, 0.0.061 acre
of wetlands and 18,265 square feet of Neuse Buffers in order to construct the St. Ives Subdivision in Wake County, as described in your
application received by the. Division of Water Quality on October 5, 2001, and in additional correspondence received March 4, 2002.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3288 and
3287, which can be downloaded from our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands . This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Numbers 12 and 39 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer
Rules (15A NCAC 213 .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project
including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must
notify us in writing and you maybe required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland
fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification as well as the additional conditions
listed below:
An additional condition is that stormwater shall be directed to diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream
buffers;
2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of
all streams and ponds. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404
Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands .
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days
of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless. you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water. Act. If you have any
questions, please telephone Steve Mitchell in our Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700 or Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office at 919-
733-9721.

RE: St. Ives Subdivision, Town of Wake Forest, Wake County, -NC. DWQ #: 01-1455.
Dear Mr. Domey:
Please find the attached informs ' ou requested in your-letter; dated 05 December, 2001.
Two changes in the original projec sign ar acts are identical,
as are wetland impacts. Chang s e original project include the elimination of on ft. wide
sanitary sewer stream crossin nd 30ft. additional width on the road crossing impacts. i am
enclosing new and revised info on for your. review and approval, as described bet
Revisions:
1) PCN Application section Vt., items 1-4. Updated tables of impacts.
2) Completed PCN Items IX - XtI.
3) Figure 3 revised stream impact figure..
4) Figures 4.0 - 4--4, revised stream buffer impact figures.
Additions:
1) Figures 5.0-5.2. Detailed illustrations of the proposed road crossing of a perennial stream on- the subject
property.
2) Figure 6. Illustration of proposed diffuse flow structures to protect riparian buffers.
3) Appendix A. Detailed illustrations of sediment and erosion control structures to be implemented
throughout project construction.
Please note, Section XII of the application. The sewer line crossing of a perennial stream
on the property will not be perpendicular. This crossing was considered carefully, and it is the belief
of both the applicant and the preparer, considering the alternatives, that adverse environmental
impacts are the minimum practicable. I have also-included for your reference, a copy of the revised
NWP issued 26 February 2002, covering all of the above listed changes. Please do not hesitate to
contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns you may have regarding this project. I can
.be reached via email, chopperCc'?rigaCarolina.com or by phone [phone]. Thank you for your
prompt attention to this matter.

Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livesto k watering, irrigation; aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): /1 A
Size of watershed draining to pond: At I /A Expected pond surface area:
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 proposed sewer line crossing of a perennial stream on the north-central portion of the project
area will not be perpendicular. The crossings angle will be approximately 130 degrees relative
to the channel. This issue was brought before project engineers. and the following reasons were
used as a basis for rejecting revisions to sewer alignment: 1) The temporary construction
corridor width has been reduced from 40' to 30'. 2) Re-alignment of the proposed crossing
would result in impacts to Wetland CC (See Figure 6); 3) Two new manholes would be
required in the floodplain, reducing flood storage capacity, and increasing the risk of either
n...... ^7 ..r -r
inflow and infiltration to, or leakage from the sewer system in major storm events, ) the cost of
two additional manholes would be excessive.
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 March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function said 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 NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on. held 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.ne.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.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 (acreago 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.
It is the applicants hope that DWQ will accept the minimization of floodplain and wetland
impacts, and the reduction in temporary construction corridors as fulfillment of the
mitigation requirement triggered by this crossing.
n,...,. 0 . r O
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hLtp: /h2o.enr.state.nc.uS/Nvrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

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).
Applicant/Agent's Signature Date
(Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

RE: Proposed St. Ives Subdivision, 401 Permit application (DWQ# 01-1455).
Dear Mr. Domey:
I am preparing the 401 permit application on behalf of Mill Ridge Investments, and am
writing to request an additional week to prepare the information you requested. Your request for
additional information was received by my office, 10 December 2001. We have recently passed the
three-week response time specified in your request.
The information was not included because it didn't yet exist. I have been informed that it is
nearly complete, and I would like to request an additional week before you return our application. I
will be mailing the information to you either Friday (04 January) or Monday (07 January). Thank
you for your time and attention to this matter, and I sincerely regret any inconvenience this may
have caused.
Sincerely,
Christopher D. Hopper, Biologist

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 March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr..state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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.

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCVr P) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at litt :/p /h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

5. Site Coordinates.
The center of the project site is at: Lat- 35° 59' 18", Lon- 78° 32' 34". A sanitary
sewer line will extend northeast from the property, to an existing collection system on
Jenkins Road, and cross two creeks along it's corridor. The first creek crossing is on site,
at: Lat- 35° 59' 24", Lon- 78° 32' 30", and the second crossing is northeast and off-site,
at: Lat- 35° 59' 36", Lon- 78° 32' 18".
6. Existing site condition.
The site was previously agriculture, and is now dominated by scrub and young
pine forests over much of the area. Slopes adjacent to floodplains are mature mesic
hardwoods, and the floodplain is primarily forested with patchy areas of alluvial scrub.
12. Land use in the project vicinity.
Adjacent land uses include industrial and commercial to the south along US 1,
residential subdivisions occur to the west, north, and east of the site, interspersed with
areas of forest land, and large rural-residential lots.
IV. Prior Project History.
In April, 2001, RJG&A was contracted by Terra Tech, Inc., subcontractor for the
developer, to locate and delineate jurisdictional wetlands and waters on the subject site.
During that survey, RJG&A determined that several streams that appear on either the
USGS topographic maps, SCS soil survey or both, were actually stormwater (ephemeral)
channels.
On 18 September, 2001 Mr. Charles Brown, Environmental Specialist with NC
DWQ met with RJG&A staff to inspect several drainage ways on site for Neuse River
Riparian Area Buffer Rule applicability. Mr. Brown's findings concurred with those of
RJG&A staff (See attached letter and Map, dated 24 Sept, 01). Two intermittent or
perennial streams exist on the subject site, Horse Creek, and an unnamed tributary of
Horse Creek, illustrated on the above referenced map.
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization).
Wetland Impacts - Two wetlands will be impacted by the proposed sewerline along
Horse Creek (0.061 acre total). Both impact areas are corridor overlaps only, the actual
sewerline will be installed outside wetland boundaries. Topographical constraints
prohibit additional distancing from wetland boundaries. Sewers are being installed on the
upland side of these wetlands to minimize floodplain, buffer, and wetland impacts from
gravity lines connecting to upslope development.
Stream and Neuse Buffer Impacts - Stream impacts were minimized to the extent
practicable. The proposed footpath has been realigned to share the sewerline crossing of
the onsite UT of Horse Creek (Figure 3). The proposed road crossing impact was
reduced from 80 feet to 75 feet of culvert at additional cost to the developer. Sewerline
corridors are the minimum practicable width of 30 feet for installation and maintenance
(Figure 3).

Dear Mr. Marotti:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations made by DWQ staff at the
subject property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 01-243.
The features represented on the Wake County Soil Survey and the USGS Quad maps were
evaluated on September 18, 2001 to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The
features (A and B) on the attached map are subject to protection under the Neuse River Basin:
Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233.
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to wetlands and other impacts, please contact the Central Office at 733-1786. Thank you for
your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance of if you have additional
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Since y,
Charles Brown
Environmental Specialist
