RE: Nationwide Permits 14,401-Water Quality Certification, and
Neuse River Buffer Rules Compliance
Tryon Road Extension

UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 718020m E, 3957840" N
S&EC Project #: 01-6534
Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Jones:
On behalf of Forrest Ball (property owner), we hereby request authorization from the US
Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 14 for the permanent stream channel
impacts resulting from the construction of the above referenced Tryon Road Extension.
We also request written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality (NC-DWQ)
stating that the project complies with the 401-Water. Quality Certification associated with
Nationwide Permit 14, as well as the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached,. which includes an agent
authorization form.
The proposed linear project is required by the City of Raleigh as an effort to provide
interconnectivity throughout the city. The road will tie into Rock Quarry Road and will
eventually cross over 1-40 and then connect to existing portions of Tryon Road. The
corridor is located immediately east of Interstate 40, and south of the intersection of Rock
Quarry Rd. (SR 2542) and Sunny Brook Road (SR 2534) in Raleigh, Wake County, NC.
The proposed impact area is approximately 1400 feet southwest of the intersection of rn
Sunny Brook Road and Rock Quarry Road. Please refer to the attached USOS site map.
r"n
lc:z
The location of the proposed roads intersection with Rock Quarry Road is fixed at the rri
existing intersection of Rock Quarry Road and Sunny Brook Road. The intersection of
the proposed road with I-40 is positioned at the highest point, topographically, on
property adjacent to I-40 and is therefore not able to be moved very much. With the two
fixed. intersection points and NCDOT's road construction criteria such as minimum curve

radiuses, etc., the proposed road's intersection with the stream channels is also somewhat
fixed. The road will permanently impact two streams at their confluence point. Impacts
to Stream A will total 150 linear feet (see attached impact map) and impacts to Stream B
will total 275 linear feet (includes a 30 foot dissipater pad). The proposed road will
impact a total of 425 linear feet of perennial stream channel. No wetland impacts are
proposed for the road extension. Current DWQ policy requires mitigation for stream
impacts that exceed 150 linear feet of channel impact to! a single channel. Current
USACE regulations may require stream mitigation for any impact to important channels.
Because impacts to Stream A total 150 linear feet, S&EC does not believe that stream
mitigation will be required for the Stream A channel impact. Stream B will have impacts
that total 275 linear feet (including the 30' dissipater pad), and therefore will require
stream mitigation. Our client proposes payment to the NC Wetlands Restoration
Program totaling $34,375.
DWQ's current policy requires buffer mitigation for buffer impacts that exceed 1/3 acre
or 150 linear feet per tributary. Stream A has a drainage area of 22 acres and Stream B
has a drainage area of 27 acres. Because Stream B has a larger drainage area, Stream A
should then be considered a tributary to Stream B. Buffer impacts associated with
Stream A (see attached impact map) will total 0.1417 acres (6173 A2). Buffer impacts
associated with Stream B will total 0.5818 acres (25,343 182). Because buffer impacts to
Stream A are less than 150 linear feet and less than 1/3 acre, S&EC does not believe that
buffer mitigation should be required for impacts to the Stream A buffers. Buffer impacts
to Stream B exceed 150 linear feet and 1/3 acre. To mitigate for the buffer impacts to
Stream B, a payment to the NC Riparian Buffer Restoration Program totaling $60,168.96
is proposed by our client.
Sincerely,

Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
hgp://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at hM://www.saw.usace.g=.mil/wetlands/re our.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and .
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12

CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management) Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along withi supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are-listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a completePCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at htip://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg_pd£
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required.i In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made' out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at httu://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does ,not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification.; Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on holfl letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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 applicant reauested a wetland delineation of the site in order to minimize and avoid
onsite wetlands and waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent possible. The p oposed roadway
crossing is being required by the City of Raleigh as part of their efforts towards
interconnectivity. The location of the corridor was selected because it crosses I-40 at one of the
highest spots on the property. Due to the "fixed point" of intersection with I-40, the "fixed
point" of intersection with Rock Quarry Road, and requirements by the NCDOT for secondary
roads i.e. curve radius criteria etc.) the proposed stream impact is necessary.

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
hlW://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htm].
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, eation, 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.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to
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 additionalinformation regarding the application

process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hqp://h2o.enr.state.nc.gL/mV/l*ndex.htm If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 245
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 62,676 ft2 (for Stream B see X. below)
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of-public (federal/state/local)
land?
Yes ? No
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 ?
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 (DWQ Only)
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.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify. Neuse )?
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
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.
