Name of project: Town of Cary, Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension (SW 5006) 2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): N/A 4. Location County: Wake County Nearest Town: Apex, NC Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): Windsor Oaks Subdivision Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): From Raleigh, NC, travel south on US 1 /64 to Penny Road. Travel east on Penny Road to Kingsford Drive. Take a right onto Kingsford Drive and travel approximately 0.25 mile to the crossing of Kingsford Drive over Dutchman's Creek. The project study area extends both east and west of this crossing. 5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.): See attached cover letter. 6. Property size (acres): Construction limits encompass approximately 1.4 acres 7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Dutchman's Creek 8. River Basin: Neuse River Basin (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 project study area is bordered by residential development to the east, north, and south, and by Penny Road to the west. The project study N/A Updated 11/1/2005 Page 6 of 13 area occurs within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek with residential development occurring on side slopes and ridges to the north and south of the property. Elevations within the project study area range from a high of approximately 430 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) in the upland areas to a low of approximately 390 feet NGVD within the stream channel. The project study area is characterized predominant by Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest which occurs throughout the project study area The project area is located in the Piedmont 1hysiogMhic province with land uses near the project study area consisting of commercial and residential development as well as forestland 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The Town of Cary proposes to install approximately 3000 linear feet of sewer trunk line within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek in the Windsor Oaks Subdivision in Carv North Carolina. Heavy-duty construction equipment will be used. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of this project is to provide a sustained sewer trunk line to annexed parts of Southern Cary, as required, for the foreseeable future in a manner that causes the least possible disturbance to the surrounding community and environment. The Windsor Oaks neighborhood, which was recently annexed by the Town of Cary effective this past June 30, 2003, has submitted a valid and sufficient petition requesting municipal water and sewer service in accordance with Town of Car Policy 23 "Water and Wastewater System Extension and Connection Policy." Windsor Oaks is currently provided water service through a community water system supplied by wells that are owned and operated by Heater Utilities. Sewer service is also provided by Heater Utilities, although the wastewater collected within the community is currently received and treated by the Town of CM. Most of the existing water system is compatible with current municipal standards, and therefore, with minor modifications and additions, can be retrofitted to provide municipal water service and fire protection. However, the existing sewer system is not compatible with municipal standards and will require complete replacement. 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. The project study area was visited by Monte Matthews of the USACE on March 17, 2006. Monte Matthews provided a jurisdictional determination on March 23, 2006 and assigned the project the following Action ID number: 200620569. In addition Monte Matthews indicated that he would accept a 1:1 ratio for wetland mitigation. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 7 of 13 V.

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: Impacts to Jurisdictional areas under the Clean Water Act (CWA) due to the proposed project footprint include 0.28 acre of temporary impacts to vegetated wetlands 0.24 acre of permanent impacts to vegetated wetlands, and 0.37 acre of impacts to Neuse River Basin riparian buffer (Figures 3 through 12 of the permit drawings). More detailed descriptions of impacts can be found in the attached cover letter. 2. Individually list wetland impacts.

Be sure to identify temporary impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560. The proposed utility corridor crosses three stream sections (See Figures 3 and 5), however, the Town of Cary proposes to jack and bore at these crossings to avoid direct encroachment into the two stream systems, thereby avoiding any impacts to jurisdictional streams 5. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.). Open water impacts include, but are not limited to fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. N/A List the cumulative impact to all Waters of the U_S resulting from the „rniPr-t- Stream Impact (acres): N/A Wetland Impact (acres): 0.28 (temporary), 0.24 (permanent) Open Water Impact (acres): N/A Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. (acres) 0.28 (temporary), 0.24 (permanent) Total Stream Impact (linear feet): N/A 7. Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. N/A 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.

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 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 13 techniques to be followed committed to incorporating- VIII. Mitigation construction to reduce impacts. The Town of Cary is able and practicable design features to avoid and minimize to provide full corn DWQ - In accordance with 115A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality forlprojects 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 fpr Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrnszide.html. I 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), affec ed stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (res oration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (?.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current sit conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Jurisdictional impacts total 0.28 acre of temporary drainage are not included in the calculation of permanent loss to waters of the United Staten 0.24 acre of impact to ect i re-establishment of pre-proiect wetland elevations. Mitigation for permanent impacts to 0.24 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 10 of 13 acre of vegetated wetlands will be provided by the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) at a mitigation ratio of 1:1 (see attached NCEEP approval letter). This mitigation ratio was determined by Monte Matthews of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on March 17, 2006. Impacts to riparian buffers at each perpendicular crossing total 20 linear feet and are therefore considered to be "Exempt" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. Subsequently, mitigation will not be required. Impacts to riparian buffers at non- perpendicular crossings _(only Zone 2 impacts occur at non-perpendicular crossings) total 0.19 acre and are considered to be "Allowable" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules: therefore, mitigation will not be required. Detailed descriptions of mitigation measures can be found in the attached cover letter. 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 (919) 715-0476 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/wlp/index.htm.

"N N.C. Division of Water Quality i { 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Subject: Application for Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC No. 3374) associated with Nationwide Permit No. 12 for Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension Project in Wake County, Town of Cary. Application for "No Practical Alternatives" determination. Town of Cary Project Number SW-5006 Dear Cindi: The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information concerning the Town of Cary's proposed installation of approximately 3000 linear feet of sewer trunk within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek in Cary, North Carolina (Figure 1). Please find attached this summary letter, a project location map (Figure 1), an overall plan view of the project study area (Figures 1 and 2), permit drawings (Figures 3-12), typical wetland cross-sections (Figures WX1 and WX2), typical stream cross-sections (Figure SX1), a completed Pre-Construction Notification form for Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12, a N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) acceptance letter, and a Section 401 Water Quality Certification application fee of $200.00. Project Description: The Town of Cary proposes to install approximately 3000 linear feet of sewer trunk line within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek in the Windsor Oaks Subdivision in Cary, North Carolina (see Figures 1 and 2). Construction limits for the Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension project (hereafter referred to as the "Site") are approximately 3000 feet long and 20 feet wide, encompassing 1.4 acres. Within the Site, proposed construction will take place within a 20-foot wide construction easement. The Site occurs within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek with residential development occurring on side slopes and ridges to the north and south of the property. Two streams (Dutchman's Creek and an unnamed tributary to Dutchman's Creek [UT 1]) and multiple wetlands occur within the Site. Impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas are anticipated as a result of the proposed project. Impacts expected as a result of the proposed project include: 0.28 acre of temporary impacts to jurisdictional wetlands, EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 2 of 6 0.24 acre of permanent impact to jurisdictional wetlands, and 0.37 acre of impact to Neuse River Basin buffers. Impacts to these jurisdictional areas are expected to occur as a result of mechanized clearing and temporary excavation for the proposed installation of sewer line; therefore, the Town of Cary proposes to perform these activities under NWP No. 12 (Utility Line Activities). The project study area is characterized predominantly by Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest, with elevations within the project study area ranging from approximately 390 to 430 feet above sea level. The project area is located in the Piedmont physiographic province with land uses near the project study area consisting of commercial and residential development, as well as forestland. Two streams, Dutchman's Creek and UT 1 are located within the Site. Dutchman's Creek enters the project study area as a perennial stream with slow to moderate flow over a substrate of silt, sand, gravel, and cobble. Bank height ranges from 3 to 8 feet and bank width ranges to 8 feet. The following table lists Site coordinates. Table 1.

Purpose and Need: The purpose of this project is to provide a sustained sewer trunk line to annexed parts of Southern Cary, as required, for the foreseeable future in a manner that causes the least possible disturbance to the surrounding community and environment. The Windsor Oaks neighborhood, which was recently annexed by the Town of Cary effective this past June 30, 2003, has submitted a valid and sufficient petition requesting municipal water and sewer service in accordance with Town of Cary Policy 23, "Water and Wastewater System Extension and Connection Policy." Windsor Oaks is currently provided water service through a community water system supplied by wells that are owned and operated by Heater Utilities. Sewer service is also provided by Heater Utilities, although the wastewater collected within the community is currently received and treated by the Town of Cary. Most of the existing water EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 3 of 6 system is compatible with current municipal standards, and therefore, with minor modifications and additions, can be retrofitted to provide municipal water service and fire protection. However, the existing sewer system is not compatible with municipal standards and will require complete replacement. Impacts Proposed Under NWP No. 12: Impacts to jurisdictional areas under the Clean Water Act (CWA) due to the proposed project footprint include: 0.28 acre of temporary impacts to vegetated wetlands, 0.24 acre of permanent impacts to vegetated wetlands, and 0.37 acre of impact to Neuse River Basin buffer (Figures 3 through 12 of the permit drawings). Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetland will occur as a result of excavation and mechanized clearing in a 10-foot wide corridor centered on the proposed sewer line that will be permanently maintained subsequent to sewer installation. Temporary impacts will occur as a result of mechanized clearing within the remaining five-foot wide corridor on each side of the permanently maintained 10-foot wide corridor. Following construction, all areas will be revegetated and will support permanent vegetation. In addition, post-construction ground elevations will be restored to pre- construction elevations after project completion. No impacts to streams are expected as a result of the proposed project. Please note that only temporary impacts to wetlands occur at Permit Site 5 (Figure 7) where the new alignment overlaps an existing sewer easement. This area is maintained regularly and so a permanent change in vegetation will not occur as a result of the proposed project. Prior to construction, wetlands impacted by excavation will be back-filled with the top 6 to 12 inches of wetland soil and restored to pre-construction contours. The Town of Cary proposes to jack and bore under all stream crossings; thereby avoiding any temporary or permanent impacts to jurisdictional streams. In order to minimize impacts to riparian buffers, the Town of Cary has designed their construction limits so as to cross both Dutchman Creek and UT I at nearly 90 degrees, thereby reducing impacts to riparian buffer to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the Town of Cary has avoided any impacts to Zone 1 buffer that would occur as a result of non-perpendicular crossings. Riparian buffer impacts that occur at each perpendicular crossing total 20 linear feet are therefore considered to be "Exempt" under the Neuse River Basin buffer rule. Impacts to riparian buffer that occur as a result of non-perpendicular crossings total 0.19 acre. These impacts occur in Zone 2 only and are therefore considered "Allowable" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. l I EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 4 of 6 Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensatory Mitigation: The Town of Cary has been at all times committed to incorporating all reasonable and practical design features to avoid and minimize jurisdictional area impacts. Avoidance measures were taken during the planning phases, and minimization methods were incorporated as part of the project design. To the maximum extent practicable, the proposed project has been designed to maintain preconstruction downstream flow conditions. To minimize temporary impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas, the Town of Cary proposes to perform the following activities: • Access roads to the project study area have been designed so as to avoid impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas. • The Town of Cary proposes to jack and bore under stream crossings thereby avoiding any impacts to jurisdictional streams. • The construction corridor will be limited to 20 feet in width, well below the 40- foot threshold imposed by the conditions of NWP No. 12. In addition, permanent, maintained access corridors will be restricted to the minimum practicable width and will not exceed 10 feet in width except at manhole covers. • In order to minimize impacts to riparian buffers, the Town of Cary has designed their construction limits so as to cross both Dutchman Creek and UT 1 at nearly 90 degrees, thereby reducing impacts to riparian buffer to the greatest extent possible. • Mechanized land clearing for the construction of the sewer line will be kept to the minimum necessary (less than 20-foot wide construction zone). • The appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment And Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" will be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance with appropriate water quality standards. • All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters will be removed and the original grade restored within two months after the proposed project is completed. • Heavy equipment used in wetlands will be placed on mats. • Cleared wetland areas will be re-vegetated with low-growing grasses and other herbaceous species. Fescue grass will not be used. EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 5 of 6 • The sewer line will be installed with no joints connected within the footprint of Dutchman's Creek or within two feet of the streambanks. To mitigate for any unavoidable impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas, the Town of Cary proposes to perform the following activities: • Permanent impacts to 0.24 acre of vegetated wetlands will be mitigated for by payment to the NCEEP. Please see the attached NCEEP acceptance letter for verification. • Temporary impacts to vegetated wetlands will be mitigated for on-Site by replacing the top 6 to 12 inches of the excavated trench with topsoil from the trench. Post-construction grade elevations in wetlands will match pre- construction contours. • Impacts to riparian buffers at each perpendicular crossing total 20 linear feet and are therefore considered "Exempt" under the Neuse River Basin buffer rules for non-electric utility crossings; therefore, mitigation will not be required. • Impacts to Zone 2 riparian buffers (at non-perpendicular crossings) have been limited to less than 0.19 acre and are considered "Allowable" under the Neuse River Basin buffer rules for non-electric utility crossings; mitigation is limited to avoidance and minimization measures as previously discussed. On behalf of the applicant, EcoScience Corporation is hereby requesting N.C. Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) General Certification (GC) 3374, in association with NWP 12, for the Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension project in Cary, North Carolina. In addition to the GC, we are seeking to obtain a "No Practical Alternatives" determination from NCDWQ. EcoScience Corporation has provided a list of all conditions of the General Certification and nationwide permit to the applicant. EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 6 of 6 The Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension project will be designed and executed by the Town of Cary; therefore, the permittee should be designated as the Town of Cary.

Division of Water Quality 0 PA T 1 C. F! l :: a APR I ZS 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 ° Subject: Application for Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC No. 3374) associated with Nationwide Permit No. 12 for Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension Project in Wake County, Town of Cary. Application for "No Practical Alternatives" determination. Town of Cary Project Number SW-5006 Dear Cindi: The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information concerning the Town of Cary's proposed installation of approximately 3000 linear feet of sewer trunk within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek in Cary, North Carolina (Figure 1). Please find attached this summary letter, a project location map (Figure 1), an overall plan view of the project study area (Figures 1 and 2), permit drawings (Figures 3-12), typical wetland cross-sections (Figures WXl and WX2), typical stream cross-sections (Figure SX1), a completed Pre-Construction Notification form for Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12, a N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) acceptance letter, and a Section 401 Water Quality Certification application fee of $200.00. Project Description: The Town of Cary proposes to install approximately 3000 linear feet of sewer trunk line within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek in the Windsor Oaks Subdivision in Cary, North Carolina (see Figures 1 and 2). Construction limits for the Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension project (hereafter referred to as the "Site") are approximately 3000 feet long and 20 feet wide, encompassing 1.4 acres. Within the Site, proposed construction will take place within a 20-foot wide construction easement. The Site occurs within the floodplain of Dutchman's Creek with residential development occurring on side slopes and ridges to the north and south of the property. Two streams (Dutchman's Creek and an unnamed tributary to Dutchman's Creek [UT 1]) and multiple wetlands occur within the Site. Impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas are anticipated as a result of the proposed project. Impacts expected as a result of the proposed project include: 0.28 acre of temporary impacts to jurisdictional wetlands, EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 2 of 6 0.24 acre of permanent impact to jurisdictional wetlands, and 0.37 acre of impact to Neuse River Basin buffers. Impacts to these jurisdictional areas are expected to occur as a result of mechanized clearing and temporary excavation for the proposed installation of sewer line; therefore, the Town of Cary proposes to perform these activities under NWP No. 12 (Utility Line Activities). The project study area is characterized predominantly by Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest, with elevations within the project study area ranging from approximately 390 to 430 feet above sea level. The project area is located in the Piedmont physiographic province with land uses near the project study area consisting of commercial and residential development, as well as forestland. Two streams, Dutchman's Creek and UT 1 are located within the Site. Dutchman's Creek enters the project study area as a perennial stream with slow to moderate flow over a substrate of silt, sand, gravel, and cobble. Bank height ranges from 3 to 8 feet and bank width ranges to 8 feet. The following table lists Site coordinates. Table 1.

Purpose and Need: The purpose of this project is to provide a sustained sewer trunk line to annexed parts of Southern Cary, as required, for the foreseeable future in a manner that causes the least possible disturbance to the surrounding community and environment. The Windsor Oaks neighborhood, which was recently annexed by the Town of Cary effective this past June 30, 2003, has submitted a valid and sufficient petition requesting municipal water and sewer service in accordance with Town of Cary Policy 23, "Water and Wastewater System Extension and Connection Policy." Windsor Oaks is currently provided water service through a community water system supplied by wells that are owned and operated by Heater Utilities. Sewer service is also provided by Heater Utilities, although the wastewater collected within the community is currently received and treated by the Town of Cary. Most of the existing water EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 3 of 6 system is compatible with current municipal standards, and therefore, with minor modifications and additions, can be retrofitted to provide municipal water service and fire protection. However, the existing sewer system is not compatible with municipal standards and will require complete replacement. Impacts Proposed Under NWP No. 12: Impacts to jurisdictional areas under the Clean Water Act (CWA) due to the proposed project footprint include: 0.28 acre of temporary impacts to vegetated wetlands, 0.24 acre of permanent impacts to vegetated wetlands, and 0.37 acre of impact to Neuse River Basin buffer (Figures 3 through 12 of the permit drawings). Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetland will occur as a result of excavation and mechanized clearing in a 10-foot wide corridor centered on the proposed sewer line that will be permanently maintained subsequent to sewer installation. Temporary impacts will occur as a result of mechanized clearing within the remaining five-foot wide corridor on each side of the permanently maintained 10-foot wide corridor. Following construction, all areas will be revegetated and will support permanent vegetation. In addition, post-construction ground elevations will be restored to pre- construction elevations after project completion. No impacts to streams are expected as a result of the proposed project. Please note that only temporary impacts to wetlands occur at Permit Site 5 (Figure 7) where the new alignment overlaps an existing sewer easement. This area is maintained regularly and so a permanent change in vegetation will not occur as a result of the proposed project. Prior to construction, wetlands impacted by excavation will be back-filled with the top 6 to 12 inches of wetland soil and restored to pre-construction contours. The Town of Cary proposes to jack and bore under all stream crossings; thereby avoiding any temporary or permanent impacts to jurisdictional streams. In order to minimize impacts to riparian buffers, the Town of Cary has designed their construction limits so as to cross both Dutchman Creek and UT1 at nearly 90 degrees, thereby reducing impacts to riparian buffer to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the Town of Cary has avoided any impacts to Zone 1 buffer that would occur as a result of non-perpendicular crossings. Riparian buffer impacts that occur at each perpendicular crossing total 20 linear feet are therefore considered to be "Exempt" under the Neuse River Basin buffer rule. Impacts to riparian buffer that occur as a result of non-perpendicular crossings total 0.19 acre. These impacts occur in Zone 2 only and are therefore considered "Allowable" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 4of6 Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensatory Mitigation: The Town of Cary has been at all times committed to incorporating all reasonable and practical design features to avoid and minimize jurisdictional area impacts. Avoidance measures were taken during the planning phases, and minimization methods were incorporated as part of the project design. To the maximum extent practicable, the proposed project has been designed to maintain preconstruction downstream flow conditions. To minimize temporary impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas, the Town of Cary proposes to perform the following activities: • Access roads to the project study area have been designed so as to avoid impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas. • The Town of Cary proposes to jack and bore under stream crossings thereby avoiding any impacts to jurisdictional streams. • The construction corridor will be limited to 20 feet in width, well below the 40- foot threshold imposed by the conditions of NWP No. 12. In addition, permanent, maintained access corridors will be restricted to the minimum practicable width and will not exceed 10 feet in width except at manhole covers. • In order to minimize impacts to riparian buffers, the Town of Cary has designed their construction limits so as to cross both Dutchman Creek and UT1 at nearly 90 degrees, thereby reducing impacts to riparian buffer to the greatest extent possible. • Mechanized land clearing for the construction of the sewer line will be kept to the minimum necessary (less than 20-foot wide construction zone). • The appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment And Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" will be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance with appropriate water quality standards. • All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters will be removed and the original grade restored within two months after the proposed project is completed. • Heavy equipment used in wetlands will be placed on mats. • Cleared wetland areas will be re-vegetated with low-growing grasses and other herbaceous species. Fescue grass will not be used. EcoScience Corporation Ms. Cyndi Karoly April 11, 2006 Page 5 of 6 • The sewer line will be installed with no joints connected within the footprint of Dutchman's Creek or within two feet of the streambanks. To mitigate for any unavoidable impacts to Section 404 jurisdictional areas, the Town of Cary proposes to perform the following activities: • Permanent impacts to 0.24 acre of vegetated wetlands will be mitigated for by payment to the NCEEP. Please see the attached NCEEP acceptance letter for verification. • Temporary impacts to vegetated wetlands will be mitigated for on-Site by replacing the top 6 to 12 inches of the excavated trench with topsoil from the trench. Post-construction grade elevations in wetlands will match pre- construction contours. • Impacts to riparian buffers at each perpendicular crossing total 20 linear feet and are therefore considered "Exempt" under the Neuse River Basin buffer rules for non-electric utility crossings; therefore, mitigation will not be required. • Impacts to Zone 2 riparian buffers (at non-perpendicular crossings) have been limited to less than 0.19 acre and are considered "Allowable" under the Neuse River Basin buffer rules for non-electric utility crossings; mitigation is limited to avoidance and minimization measures as previously discussed. On behalf of the applicant, EcoScience Corporation is hereby requesting N.C. Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) General Certification (GC) 3374, in association with NWP 12, for the Windsor Oaks Water and Sewer Extension project in Cary, North Carolina.

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. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts to jurisdictional areas under the Clean Water Act (CWA) due to the proposed project footprint include 0.28 acre of temporary impacts to vegetated wetlands 0.24 acre of permanent impacts to vegetated wetlands, and 0.37 acre of impacts to Neuse River Basin riparian buffer (Figures 3 through 12 of the permit drawings). More detailed descriptions of impacts can be found in the attached cover letter. 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, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Be sure to identify temporary impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560. The proposed utility corridor crosses three stream sections (See Figures 3 and 5); however, the Town of Cary proposes to tack and bore at these crossings to avoid direct encroachment into the two stream systems; thereby avoiding any impacts to jurisdictional streams. 5. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.). Open water impacts include, but are not limited to fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. N/A List the cumulative impact to all Waters of the U.S. resulting from the nroiect: Stream Impact (acres): N/A Wetland Impact (acres): 0.28 (temporary), 0.24 (permanent) Open Water Impact (acres): N/A Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. (acres) 0.28 (temporary), 0.24 (permanent) Total Stream Impact (linear feet): N/A 7. Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. N/A 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. N/A Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: 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 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 13 techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The Town of Cary is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features to avoid and minimize stream and wetland impacts, and to provide full compensatory mitigation of remaining unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands. Avoidance measures were taken during project planning, and minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design. Detailed descriptions of avoidance and minimization measures can be found in the attached cover letter. 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.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. Jurisdictional impacts total 0.28 acre of temporary wetland impacts, 0.24 acre of permanent wetland impacts, and 0.37 acre of riparian buffer impacts. Waters of the United States temporarily affected big, flooding, excavation, or drainage are not included in the calculation of permanent loss to waters of the United States; therefore, permanent impacts expected to occur as a result of the proposed project include 0.24 acre of impact to vegetated wetlands. Temporary impacts to wetlands will be restored on-site upon project completion. Restoration of temporarily disturbed wetland areas includes re-establishment of pre-project wetland elevations. Mitigation for permanent impacts to 0.24 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 10 of 13 acre of vegetated wetlands will be provided by the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) at a mitigation ratio of 1:1 (see attached NCEEP approval letter). This mitigation ratio was determined by Monte Matthews of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on March 17, 2006. Impacts to riparian buffers at each perpendicular crossing total 20 linear feet and are therefore considered to be "Exempt" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. Subsequently, mitigation will not be required. Impacts to riparian buffers at non- perpendicular crossings (only Zone 2 impacts occur at non-perpendicular crossings) total 0.19 acre and are considered to be "Allowable" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules, therefore, mitigation will not be required. Detailed descriptions of mitigation measures can be found in the attached cover letter. 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 (919) 715-0476 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/=/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): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0.24 Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A 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.

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* Impact (square feet) Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 3831 3 (2 for Catawba) N/A 2 12246 1.5 N/A Total 16077 N/A N/A * 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 213 .0242 or .0244, or .0260. Impacts to riparian buffers at each Demendicular crossing total 20 linear feet and are therefore considered to be "Exempt" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. Subsequently, mitigation will not be required. Impacts to riparian buffers at non-perpendicular crossings (only Zone 2 impacts occur at non- perpendicular crossings) total 0.19 acre and are considered to be "Allowable" under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules, therefore, mitigation will not be 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 appropriate sediment and erosion control practices will equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual." This project will be in full compliance with all specifications governing the _proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance with appropriate water quality standards. In addition, all sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and the original grade restored within two months after the proposed project is completed. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 12 of 13 XII.
