DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
On behalf Apex Independent Living, LLC, we hereby submit the following documentation
required by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act for activities associated with the disturbance of 0.30-acre of jurisdictional wetland and 0.09-
acre of riparian buffer. In addition, we have enclosed a full-sized preliminary stormwater
management plan for review by the worth Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources - Division of Water Quality (DWQ) as required. The contents of the application
outlined below serve as the predischarge notification and contain the documentation supporting
the terms and conditions of the Nationwide Permit program.
PROJECT LOCATION
The site is located just northwest of the intersection at Apex Peakway and South Hughes Street,
in Apex, Wake County, North Carolina. Geographically, the site can be found at 35° 43' 05.68"
N and 78' 50' 43.81" W of the 3`d Principal Meridian.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
•
The proposed project consists of eight apartment buildings containing 284 units, the required
stormwater management facilities and utility infrastructure, a circular roadway with adjacent
parking and side walks, retaining walls where necessary, and two access locations.
Existing land cover may be described as upland fallow farm field, low quality scrub-shrub and
secondary growth mesic woodland, low quality non-riparian wetland, low quality linear wetland
and degraded stream. General land use in the vicinity includes a healthcare facility to the west, a
commercial development to the north, an agricultural area to the east, a commercial development
to the southeast and an agricultural area to the south.

JOINT PERMIT APPLICATION
Tab 1 - A signed written statement ttom the applicant authorizing Eeotek Inc. as agent, dated
April 15, 2005; a completed Preconstruction Notification Form Version 1.3, dated Dec 10 2008;
and a request to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) for non-riparian
wetland mitigation dated April 21, 2009 as required.
Tab 2 - A Wetland & Stream Delineation Report including figures, routine wetland
determination and stream identification forms, prepared by S&EC, dated April 19, 2006; and a
wetland boundary survey by Smith & Smith Surveyors, dated May 22, 2006 as required.
Tab 3 - A verification letter to Kite Realty Group written by S&EC, dated June 5, 2006
summarizing a site meeting with the USACE; and a determination letter to S&EC written by the
DWQ, dated July 27, 2006 as required.
Tab 4 - A U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) and a North Carolina Department of Cultural
• Resources - State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) submittal including location maps and
preliminary site plans, each dated April 14, 2009 as required.
Tab 5 - A preliminary site plan showing areas of non-riparian wetland and riparian buffer impact
in 11" X 17" format; and a preliminary stormwater management plan showing impervious
surface areas, stormwater storage/treatment areas, and diffuse flow locations in 24" X 36"
format, prepared by Miller Player & Associates, as required.
PROJECT SUMMARY
In summary, three utility crossings were considered for avoiding and minimizing impact to
riparian buffers during the preliminary planning phase. Alignment one would avoid the wetland
by proceeding south from an existing utility easement. Alignment two would tie-into an existing
utility easement and pass through a portion of a wetland on an adjacent property to the
northeast. Alignment three would avoid the wetland onsite and the wetland off-site by
proceeding west from an 4xisting utility easement located at Apex Peakway and adjacent to the
most northeastern property boundary.
It was determined that alignment 3 would be the preferred alignment in order to utilize an
existing utility easement and minimize disturbance to wetland and riparian buffer onsite. It
should be noted that only 51% of all buffer impacts proposed will occur within Zone 1, and that
all remaining buffer impacts in Zone 2 are "exempt" according to the North Carolina
Administrative Code, effective April 1, 2003.

Prior to accessing the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) In-Lieu Fee
Mitigation Program, all applicants requesting wetlands and/or stream mitigation
are now required by law to comply with Session Law 2008-152 An Act to
Promote Compensatory Mitigation by Private Mitigation Banks. All new
requests submitted on or after Oct. 1, 2008 MUST include this form signed and
dated by the permit applicant or an authorized agent. Applicants with unexpired
acceptance letters may continue with their plans to use the In-Lieu Fee Program
or withdraw their request and seek other available mitigation options.
Compliance Statement:
I have read and understand SL-2008-152 and have, to the best of my knowledge,
complied with its requirements.
Please check all that apply:
There are no known private mitigation banks with the requested credit type
located in the hydrologic unit where this impact will take place (link to DWQ
list).

WETLAND & STREAM DELINEATION REPORT FOR APEX PROJECT
On April 11, 2006 S&EC personnel completed a detailed wetland delineation and Neuse
River/Town of Apex Buffer evaluation on the Apex Project Site. The + 110-acre site is located
500 feet NW of the intersection of NC 55 and US 1 (Exit 95). Figure 1 and figure 2 show the
location of the site on a USGS topographic quadrangle and Wake County Soil Survey,
respectively.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We have determined that approximately nine wetland areas, two perennial streams, and four
intermittent streams generally account for the jurisdictional waters observed on the site. The
attached wetland sketch map depicts the approximate location of wetlands and streams. Please
refer to the sketch map and the results and recommendations section below for more detailed
information.
SCOPE OF WORK
• The detailed wetland delineation consisted of pedestrian reconnaissance of the property to
examine soils, vegetation, and hydrology across the site to identify areas that meet the criteria for
jurisdictional wetlands as described by the procedures set forth in the Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual (January 1987 - Final Report. Areas on the site with positive
indicators of hydric soils, evidence of wetland hydrology, and presence of hydrophytic
vegetation were flagged with sequentially numbered, pink S&EC logo flagging. Proof of
wetland hydrology would be the existence of hydric soils with oxidized root channels in the
upper 12 inches of the soil profile, water borne deposits, drift lines, scour marks, drainage
patterns, regional indicators of soil saturation, etc. Surface waters such as intermittent and
perennial stream channels, ponds, and lakes, which are also subject to regulation by the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as waters of the US, were also identified. These surface
waters may also be referred to as jurisdictional waters to indicate that they are within the
jurisdiction of the USACE. It is important to note that wetlands are also classified as waters of
the US and regulated by the USACE.
RESULTS & RECOMMENDATIONS
The results of the wetland delineation and stream evaluations are discussed below.
Wetlands and Jurisdictional Waters:
We have determined that wetlands and other jurisdictional waters (i.e., streams and ponds) exist
on the site. Please refer to the attached "Wetland Sketch Map" for specific flag numbers and
approximate locations.

A number of jurisdictional streams were observed during the site evaluation, the approximate
locations of which are illustrated on the attached wetland sketch map. Photos of these areas are
included in Appendix 1. Stream evaluation forms documenting S&EC's assessment of these
streams are included in Appendix 2. Streams identified on-site include:
• Feature A (unnamed tributary (UT) to Little Branch), beginning just below the property
line at flag S-01. From S-01 to S-03, the channel is intermittent. Below S-03, feature A
is perennial until it flows into Pond A and then off property in the southwest corner of the
property. There is a small break that is noted by A-0 1 Stop flag on the map. The channel
appears again at A-02 Start.
• Feature C (UT to Middle Creek), begins at flag C-01 as an intermittent channel. It then
converges with feature G, which follows the northern property line.
• Feature E (UT to Little Branch), begins at flag S-05 where it is an intermittent channel.
A stream form documenting our assessment can be found in Appendix 2 (SF 1). Feature
E then converges with feature F at the property line.
• Feature F (UT to Little Branch) is a jurisdictional intermittent channel beginning at flag
F-01. It converges with feature E before flowing off property to the south.
• There is a spillway coming out of the southwest corner of pond A. It converges down the
hill into feature A. This is not located on either the Wake County soil survey or the
USGS quad. The USACE will likely call this jurisdictional.
Waters on site flow into Little Branch (Cape Fear Basin/Town of Apex Jurisdiction) and Middle
Creek (Neuse Basin/NCDWQ Jurisdiction). These Surface water features have been classified in
• NC-DWQ's "Classification and Water Quality Standards Applicable to Surface Waters and
Wetlands of North Carolina" as C (Little Branch) and C: NSW (Middle Creek).
There are also a number of ponds located on the site. Ponds A, B, C, and E are located on the
USGS or Wake County Soil Survey. S&EC does not believe Pond B exhibits an adequate
hydrologic connection to be considered jurisdictional and regulated by the USACE. S&EC
believes Pond A, Pond C and Pond E would all be considered jurisdictional by the USACE.
Wetland plant communities observed and identified on the site include Riparian Wetlands and
Low Elevation seeps'. Data forms documenting the soils, plant species, and hydrology
characteristics of these areas are included in Appendix 3. Many of the Low Elevation Seeps
occur above (upslope) of the stream origins at a point of surface water seepage from the soil
where water impermeable substrate becomes shallow. Many of these are located within the
drainages above pond E. There is also a large wetland area within the drainage of feature D.
This area was heavily vegetated. For this reason, S&EC personnel were unable to complete the
delineation here. Flagging was stopped at 133A&B. S&EC personnel observed an area
approximately 50 feet north of flags 133A&B that did not exhibit characteristics of a
jurisdictional wetland; therefore, the wetland area we were unable to completely delineate ends
somewhere between this point and flags 133A&B.

• Page 3 of 6
Three marginal features exist on the property that somewhat exhibits characteristics of
jurisdictional streams and wetlands, but lack important hydrologic characteristics one would
observe in a jurisdictional area. These areas are not believed to be jurisdictional wetlands or
waters, due to weak evidence of hydrology and/or hydric soils. These areas are located behind
the dam of Pond C, above flag 44 CL and above flag F-01 in feature F. Due to the marginal
nature of these areas, confirmation of our assessment should be obtained from the USAGE. No
other wetlands or jurisdictional waters were found within the project boundaries.
All S&EC flags comprising the wetland and jurisdictional waters delineation should be surveyed
and a Wetland Delineation Map generated for use in site planning and USACE approval and
permitting. The entire length of each stream feature was not flagged, but will need to be survey
located for the Wetland Delineation Map. Stream features may be located either along the
centerline (with channel widths noted at each survey point) or at the top-of-bank. The Wetland
Delineation Map should include all of the information listed on the attached "Requirements for
Wetland Delineation Maps." S&EC delineation flag numbers should be shown on the wetland
survey.
Stream Buffers:
Neuse River Buffers:
The surface waters (i.e., intermittent streams, perennial streams and ponds) potentially subject to
the 50-foot Neuse River Buffers include features C, G and Pond C on the sketch map. No other
• surface waters are indicated on either the USGS topographic or Wake County Soil Survey maps.
S&EC believes that feature G is subject to the Neuse River Buffers throughout its extent on the
property. Feature C will likely be subject to the Neuse River Buffer beginning at flag C-01.
Because of the channel located within feature C, Pond C may have a hydrologic connection,
resulting in the pond being subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule, as well. The NC-DWQ must
confirm our determination regarding the subjectivity of feature C and Pond C in order for our
determination to be valid. Therefore, a site meeting with the NC-DWQ will be required.
S&EC will schedule this meeting at your written request.
Town of Apex Buffers:
The surface waters on site (i.e., intermittent streams, perennial stream, and ponds) potentially
subject to the Apex Buffers include features A, B, D, E, and F, Pond A, Pond B and Pond E.
S&EC believes that feature D and Pond B are isolated and will not be subject to the Apex Buffer
rules. S&EC believes features A, B, E, F, and Ponds A and E would all be considered subject by
the Town of Apex. A meeting with a Town of Apex representative will be necessary to
determine the subjectivity of these features; therefore, a site meeting with the Town of Apex will
be required. S&EC will schedule this meeting at our written request. Please refer to the Apex
Watershed Protection Overlays sections below for details.

• Regulations
A general list of regulations that apply to jurisdictional wetlands and waters present on the site
are discussed below. Please be aware that other local, state, and federal regulations not included
in this list may also apply. S&EC personnel are available to discuss these regulations as they
apply to your project.
Regulations that apply to jurisdictional wetlands and waters present on the site are discussed
below.
Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules
The Neuse River Basin riparian buffer rules, which came into effect on 7/22/97, protect up to 50
feet from the edge of existing "surface waters" (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes,
ponds and estuaries) located within the Neuse River Basin. The 50-foot buffer basically consists
of two zones. Zone 1 is measured 30 feet landward from the top bank of streams and intended to
contain an undisturbed-forested area. Zone 2 is measured 20 feet from the edge of the first zone
and is intended to contain a vegetated buffer. A couple of notable points of the rules include the
following: the allowance of grading with re-vegetating within Zone 2 (the outer 20 feet) and the
requirement of mitigation for road crossings greater than 150 feet in width and utility lines
running parallel and within the buffers.
Town of Apex Watershed Protection Overlay Districts
• As part of the Town of Apex's Watershed Protection Overlay Districts (Article 6, Section 1
Apex has recently adopted riparian buffer requirements. The Town and its ETJ shall be divided
into two districts for the purpose of watershed protection. These two districts shall be identified
on the Town of Apex's "Watershed Protection Overlay District Map." These requirements
include establishment of a 50-foot riparian buffer on intermittent streams and an average or a
minimum of a 100-foot riparian buffer on perennial streams and rivers depending on whether the
site is located within a Primary or Secondary Watershed Protection District. Ponds and lakes
require a 50-foot minimum riparian buffer unless the feature joins with a perennial stream, in
which case a 100-foot buffer is required. Intermittent and perennial streams, ponds, and lakes
are defined as those shown on the most recent versions of the 7.5-minute USGS topographic
quadrangle of the area or applicable Soil Survey maps. If there is a discrepancy between these
two maps, the classification requiring the most stringent buffer applies. Affected parties may
appeal the classifications depicted on the aforementioned maps to the Town of Apex in the Cape
Fear River Basin and to NCDWQ in the Neuse River Basin if they believe that the maps
inaccurately depict the surface water.
Wetland Permitting:
Wetland impact permits are issued on a per-project basis as determined by the USACE. The
USACE has determined that impacts on parcels sub-divided from larger tracts are sometimes
considered to be cumulative to existing impacts for the large tract. If this is the case, then
April 19, 2006
S&EC Project #: 9931.W2
Page 5 of 6
• thresholds as discussed below may not apply and impacts to wetlands must be considered in light
of existing permits.
Preconstruction notification to the USACE and the NC-DWQ is not required for wetland impacts
that meet the general conditions of Nationwide Permit 39 and that impact less than 1/10 acre per
project. Preconstruction notification and approval by the USACE is required for wetland
impacts that exceed 1/10 of an acre and /or aM stream channel impacts. Preconstruction
notification and approval by the NC-DWQ is required for wetland impacts that exceed 1/10
of an acre if the property is west of I-95 or 1/3 of an acre if the project is east of I-95.
Preconstruction notification and approval by the NC-DWQ is required for any stream
channel impacts within buffered basins (i.e. the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico, Randleman, and
portions of the Catawba Basins) or for cumulative stream impacts that exceed 150 linear
feet in non-buffered basins. If development impacts exceed the thresholds for notification and
proposed impervious area for the project or any part of the project exceeds 30%, then stormwater
treatment to meet the pollutant removal design standard of 85% removal of total suspended
solids (i.e., wet detention basins, stormwater wetlands, bioretention areas, etc.) and 30% of
Nitrogen will likely be required by the NC-DWQ. The maximum permanent impact allowed per
project under the nationwide permits is 1/2 acre of wetland and/or 300 linear feet of USACE
important stream channel. Nationwide Permit 39 limits above-grade fills within 100-year
floodplains specifically prohibiting above-grade fill within the floodway. Additionally,
Nationwide Permit 39 limits stream channelization and relocation to streams with an average
annual flow of less than 1 cfs.
• Per project impacts to vegetated wetlands in excess of 1 acre or impacts to streams that contain
"significant aquatic function" in excess of 150 linear feet will most likely require mitigation by
the NC-DWQ. The USACE may require mitigation for any wetland/jurisdictional waters
impacts. Actual mitigation requirements are typically determined on a case-by-case basis.
Wetland mitigation is a complex process that requires planning and monitoring. S&EC will
discuss mitigation issues with you if we believe your project may require mitigation.
Impacts to channels containing "significant aquatic function" in excess of the notification
thresholds may require mitigation. Channel mitigation is typically intended to replace lost
significant aquatic functions and values. Relocating channels is considered to be an adverse
impact and typically results in mitigation within the new channel. Therefore, this type of
mitigation usually requires that meanders be created within constructed channels. Side-slopes
and beds be vegetated; riprap is discouraged.
A complete NC-DWQ 401 Water Quality Certification application for a Nationwide Permit has a
maximum 60-day processing period. A complete USACE Nationwide Permit application has a
45-day processing period, while Individual Permit applications submitted to the USACE have no
maximum processing periods. The USACE requires that all impacts to wetlands or Waters
of the US, less than 1/10 acre, be reported to the USACE within 30 days of the completion
of construction.
Nationwide Permits can potentially be utilized if the project is designed to impact up to 1/2 acre
of jurisdictional wetlands or waters of the US including a maximum of 300 linear feet of
• important stream channel impact under NWP 39. Cumulative impacts per project over these

nationwide thresholds will require an individual permit. Individual Permits require an analysis to
determine that the proposed impact is the least environmentally damaging practical alternative,
typically require compensatory mitigation, notification to adjacent property owners, a public
notice, and may require a public hearing. All impacts greater than 1/10 acre require written
justification.
CONCLUSION
The Apex Project site evaluated by S&EC during April 2006, contains a number of jurisdictional
wetlands and streams that would require preconstruction authorization for impacts (i.e. road
construction, lot fill, stormwater pond construction, etc.). A survey location of S&EC's wetland
delineation flags should be conducted to integrate these site constraints into planning for
property development. A site meeting has been scheduled with Mr. Monte Matthews of the
USACE to verify our delineation. A site meeting with an official from the Town of Apex as well
as the NCDWQ should be scheduled to determine the application of state and local municipal
buffers to streams and ponds found on the property.

Re: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Site Meeting to verify the Wetlands and Waters of
the U.S. for Apex Project; Apex, Wake County, North Carolina
Mr. Pedersen:
On May 30, 2006, Mr. Monte Matthews of the USACE, Steven Ball of S&EC, and I reviewed the areas
on the site potentially subject to USACE jurisdiction. During our meeting, Mr. Mathews made the
following determinations regarding streams and/or wetlands:
• Feature A is an isolated stream above flag A-02; all wetlands, streams, and the pond above A-02
are also isolated.
• A-02 is the start of an important stream with a 2:1 mitigation requirement that continues southerly
off-site.
• Feature B has no jurisdictional steam in the area and Pond B is isolated.
• Feature C is an unimportant stream from C-0 1, continuing downstream; Pond C is jurisdictional.
• Feature D is an isolated wetland (no stream).
• Feature E is an unimportant/jurisdictional stream between flag S-05, down to survey reference
flag #668; from survey reference flag #668, downstream, feature E is an important stream with a
1:1 mitigation requirement.
• Pond E is jurisdictional as well as wetlands delineated below flag 14 (above the pond).
• Wetlands upslope of flag 14 are considered isolated.
• Wetlands delineated north of flag 88 are considered isolated.
• Feature F is an unimportant/jurisdictional stream between flags F-0 1 and flag S-04; from flag S-
04, downstream, feature F is an important stream with a 1:1 mitigation requirement.
• Wetlands upslope of flag F-01, delineated by flags 89 through 99 are considered isolated.
• Feature G is considered an important stream with a 2:1 mitigation requirement.
Mr. Mathews agreed with the remaining details of our delineation. Due to recent changes in regulation
interpretation by the USACE, many of the wetlands, streams, and ponds we delineated and previously
reported as jurisdictional were classified as "isolated." This distinction results in these areas being subject
to the NC Isolated Wetland Rules. Many similarities exist between impacts permissible under the
isolated wetland rules and impacts permissible under Nationwide Permits issued through the USACE.
However, under the state isolated wetland rules, the maximum allowable isolated stream impact is 300'
(cumulative for the project using the standard permitting process); isolated, manmade ponds are exempt

from the rules and may be drained, then filled or integrated into stormwater management; isolated
wetland impacts require written permission if in excess of 1/10-acre and may not exceed 1/2-acre using
standard permitting procedures. Impacts to isolated waters are not considered cumulative with impacts to
jurisdictional waters; therefore, impacts to isolated waters are considered separate from jurisdictional
waters impacts for the purposes of permitting thresholds and limits. Many other regulations not described
here apply to isolated waters of the State; therefore, please contact S&EC for site plan review once you
have determined the extent of isolated impacts that will result from your proposed development.
Impacts to "important streams" count toward the maximum 300' allowable under a nationwide permit. If
a project exceeds 300' of important stream impacts, an Individual permit would be required. The USACE
has a 45-day maximum review period to evaluate a nationwide permit. However, an Individual permit has
no maximum review period. Streams deemed to have "important aquatic function" may also require
mitigation by the USACE for any impact and will require mitigation by DWQ if impacts exceed 150'.
Typically, the USACE requires mitigation for impacts to important streams in excess of 150' for the
project. Mitigation is often accomplished by payment into the NC Ecosystem Enhancement fund at $219
per foot for streams and $26,000 per acre for wetlands (levied in'/4-acre blocks) at the ratios identified
above. Unimportant streams require impact justification but do not require USACE mitigation.
The next step in this process is to coordinate a site meeting with the Town of Apex to obtain buffer
determinations for surface waters on the site. This meeting has been scheduled for Monday, June 5, 2006.
A summary of this meeting will follow. Following the meeting with the Town of Apex, a site meeting
will be required with the NC-DWQ to determine buffer requirements for the portion of the site located in
the Neuse River Basin as well as verifying our delineation of isolated waters. S&EC will coordinate this
• meeting in the near future. In the interim, please contact S&EC if you have any questions related to
wetland and stream regulations or if you need clarification of the attached map. I can be reached by email
at jpayne@sandec.com or by mobile at (919) 427-7036.
