3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Greenway will generally follow existing 30' sewer easement in 100-yr floodplain (Managed herbaceous cover & forested
bottomland). Downstream section of site is heavily developed and the upstream is being developed (as observed by
recent infrastructure installation).
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
KCI delineated 0.37 acres of jurisdictional wetlands within the project corridor.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
6858.95 Linear Feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The Dunn Creek Greenway is a part of the Town of Wake Forest Open Space & Greenway Plan (adopted 2002) and a
planned connector to the Mountains-to-Sea Trail-a spur to the East Coast Greenway. It begins where the Smith Creek
Greenway ends at the Soccer Fields and runs north approx. 1 mi. to the NC 98 Byp. and existing pedestrian culvert. The
paved 10-ft wide greenway will have 2' wide gravel shoulders on each side for asphalt protection. The high capacity 10'
wide greenway will provide for multipurpose use (i.e., pedestrians, bicyclists, in-line skaters, wheelchairs, etc.) and two-
way directional traffic, per AASHTO standards. In addition, the maintenance of greenways affects the desired width of the
paved surface as well as the width of its bridges. A 10' wide trail and bridges allows for maintenance and emergency
vehicles to enter the facilities without destroying the edges of pavement. Emergency vehicles are 9' wide and need 10'
trails and bridges with a 2' shoulder for safe passage. The design is also intended to be consistent with all other
greenways within Wake County.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The Dunn Creek Greenway will tie into the Smith Creek Greenway at the soccer fields on the east side of Dunn Creek. An
existing 30' sewer easement and greenway easement has been dedicated for the greenway by the Town, NCEEP and
private landowners. Based on field investigation we shifted the greenway away from both Dunn Creek and Spring Branch,
which required contacting private landowners and asking for more land to avoid the Neuse buffers as much as possible.
Four bridge crossings are needed along the route. The bridges will span the creek and the bridge abutments will not
impact §404 or 401 streams. The wetlands were delineated and will be avoided. In many areas the greenway will change
to a boardwalk to allow for diffuse flow. The paved surfaces will be designed at grade to allow diffuse flow. Construction
will occur within a dedicated 30' easement. Track trucks and D6 bulldozers will be used for grading to minimize the
footprint. Cranes will be used to position the pre-fabricated 40' to 70' bridges on the abutments.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Dunn Creek Greenway was originally planned to follow a dedicated easement owned by the Town of Wake Forest. The
proposed greenway starts at the downstream section where it ties into the existing Smith Creek Greenway at the Soccer
Fields then heads north to its terminus at the pedestrian culvert under NC 98 Bypass. The greenway crosses Dunn Creek
three times and Spring Branch once as it generally follows the 30' sewer line/easement. The greenway was shifted
outside of the dedicated easement in places to avoid impacts to Zone 1 and minimize impacts to Zone 2. Wetlands were
completely avoided. In several areas boardwalks are being specified in order to prevent concentrated flow in areas along
the greenway. Additionally, the greenway will be installed at grade to avoid ponding of surface water.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The greenway was moved away from the streams where possible to avoid sedimentation and erosion control issues
related to construction and bank full storm events. Pre-constructed bridges were specified to minimize stream impacts
during construction and bridge abutments were placed outside of the stream to avoid all impacts within the normal flow
path. The bridges were angled at crossings to be between 75 degrees 105 degrees and mature hardwood trees were
spared where possible.

Explanation: The feature(s) listed above has or have been located on the Soil Survey of Wake County, North
Carolina or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1:24,000 scale. Each feature that is checked
"Not Subject" has been determined not to be a stream or is not present on the property. Features that are checked
"Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be a stream. There may be
other streams located on your property that do not show up on the maps referenced above but, still may be
considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and/or to the Division of Water Quality.
This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that a surface water
exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination by the Director. A request for a
determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Cyndi Karoly, DWQ

by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface water from the buffer rule may ask for
an ad judicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. Applicants are
hereby notified that the 60-day statutory appeal time does not start until the affected party (including
downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision. DWQ recommends that the applicant

for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This
determination is final and binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.
The (owner/future owners) should notify the Division of Water Quality (including any other Local, State, and
Federal Agencies) of this decision concerning any future correspondences regarding the subject property
(stated above). This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries
should be directed to the Division of Water Quality (Central Office) at (919)-733-1786, and the US Army
