III. 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: St Ives Greenway rail
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only):

Page 2 of 9
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The proposed reenway trail runs through open space along
the floodplain of Horse Creek within the St Ives Subdivision. The trail runs along an existing
sanitary sewer easement except in a few places. Figure 1 depicts the location of the property
on the US Geological Survey (USGS) Wake Forest, NC 7.5-minute quadrangle topographic
map. Figure 2 shows the location of the site on the applicable Wake County Soil Survey
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
proposed reenway is a mowed grass trail that runs along southeast side of Horse Creek with
three connection points to roads in the subdivision. The trail runs primarily within the
existing sy sewer easement on the floodplain and crosses two jurisdictional tributaries
to Horse Creek. Figure 3 and Insets A and B show the alignment of the proposed greenway
trail and the details of the proposed riparian buffer impacts. Wooden footbridges such as that
one shown on the attached Bridge Details Sheet (pg. B-25) would be constructed for these
crossings.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the project is to provide a
walking trail through the subdivision and connecting to adjacent properties.
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. NCDWO made buffer determinations on the property in 2001 before the
subdivision was developed (NBRRO 01-243). On March 28, 2002, Millridge Investments
received a 401 Water Quality Certification (DWO# 01-1455) for 135 linear feet of perennial
stream channel, 0.061 acre of wetlands and 18,265 square feet of riparian buffer impact to
construct the project. Copies of these NDWO letters are attached On September 19, 2008,
Burdette Land Consulting, Inc. flagged the centerline of the trail outside of the sanitary, sewer
easement to ensure that the trail would not impact isolated or jurisdictional wetlands

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: There are no proposed impacts
to stream channels or wetlands.
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,

Page 5 of 9
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. There are no proposed
impacts to stream channels or wetlands.
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
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/ncwetlands/strmgide.htmi.
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.
There are no proposed impacts to stream channels or wetlands; therefore, no mitigation is
proposed
Page 6 of 9
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 three and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
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 ?
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 ?
Page 7 of 9
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* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 381 3 (2 for Catawba) NA
2 1780 1.5 NA
Total 2,161 NA
* 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.
XI.
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. The proposed greenway trail has been
planned primarily within the existing sewer easement on the property except in three places.
Because the easement does not connect to the adjacent property and open space is not
available to the western boundary of the development, the proposed trail is located parallel in
Zone 2 for approximately 170 linear feet. The second area where the trail deviates from the
easement does not involve any impacts to the riparian buffer. A third deviation from the
easement is required at one of the tributary crossings due to steep slope adjacent to the stream
channel. The trail was routed around this slope and impacts Zone 1 and 2 of the tributary
within Zone 2 of Horse Creek. Because reg_ enway trails are classified as allowable and there
is no practical alternative to the proposed impacts, BLC believes that riparian buffer
mitigation is not required.
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 original PCN application indicated that the
amount of impervious surface area resulting from the subdivision upon build out would be a
maximum of 24 percent of the total site. The proposed grassed trail with wooden footbridges
would not increase the amount of impervious surface area within the development.
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.
No wastewater would be generated from the proposed reg enway trail.
Page 8 of 9
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ® No ?
A homeowner has developed a dirt car track within the riparian buffer where the trail is
proposed. Any un-vegetated areas within the greenway easement will be seeded during
construction and establishment of the trail.
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 greenway trail should not result in additional development
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).

Bridges
Bridges are an important element of almost any trail project. The type and
size of bridges can vary widely depending on the trail type and specific
site requirements. Some bridges often used for multi-use trails include
suspension bridges, prefabricated span bridges and simple log bridges.
When determining a bridge design for multi-use trails, it is important to
consider emergency and maintenance vehicle access. Bridges intended
for occasional vehicular use must be designed to handle up to 10,000
pound loads safely and at least 14'-wide to allow for vehicle passage.

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/ncwetlands . 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 26 .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
