On behalf of the applicant, Epic Games Inc. (Attn: John Farnsworth) please find attached a complete
application and supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers that the activities proposed below may proceed under Nationwide Permit 39, a request for
approval to utilize general water quality certification 3890 from the N.C. Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR). A NWP 39 and associated 401 Water Quality Certification were previously issued in 205
(copies attached) for this project but impacts were not performed prior to the permits expiration. Impacts
proposed remain the same as those previously authorized. Mitigation has already been paid for at a 2:1
ratio to offset proposed impacts.
The proposed impacts are required to allow for expansion of the existing adjacent Epic Games facilities.
Please contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or require additional information.

and silvicultural operations. The Epic Games expansion is a small commercial development that is also urban infill.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement)

PCN Section D1.a&b Impact Justification
Physical and engineering design constraints:
• Our proposal considers an expansion of the existing Epic Games facility to accommodate
anticipated staff growth. This new expansion will extend onto property owned by Epic Games,
however, the new office facility must be connected to the existing facility to reduce physical
separation of employees in order to optimize the staff utilization and inter -departmental
collaboration which is necessary for the development and testing of their gaming software
applications.
Additionally, the proposed site plan has been developed to accommodate site
development constraints related to vehicular access and minimum parking requirements. The
Town of Cary will not allow any additional full -access drive connections onto Crossroads
Boulevard between the existing driveway and the Jones Franklin Road intersection, as per
Section D Access Management of the Town of Cary development ordinance. The town code
section below (third paragraph) states that two driveways would need to be 600 feet apart. We
only have a little over 500 feet from the existing driveway to Jones Franklin Road
1. Driveways
The number of street and driveway connections permitted serving a single property
frontage or commercial development shall be the minimum deemed necessary by
the Director of Engineering for reasonable service to the property without undue
impaimnent of safety, convenience, and utility of the roadway. Normally, not more
than two driveways shall be permitted for any single property frontage.
The arrangement of driveways should be related to adjacent driveways and nearby
street intersections. Non-residential driveways accessing local or collector type
streets shall be at least 100 feet from the point of tangency of the radius curvature of
the next intersecting street. Non-residential driveways serving traffic volumes In
excess of 300 ADT or accessing thoroughfares shall be located a minimum of 250
feet from the point of tangency of the radius of curvature of the intersecting street.
Where two non-residential driveways are proposed along a single property frontage
to facilitate operations, the minimum distance between the centerlines of the drives
shall be 250 feet. The minimum distance between the centerlines of driveways into
shopping centers or facilities generating in excess of 300 ADT shall be a minimum of
600 feet. Full access driveways open to signalization should be 1,200' apart.
Non-residential driveways which access thoroughfares and serve more than 1500
ADT shall provide deceleration lanes in approach to the driveway.
03000-9
Town of Cary Standard Specifications and Detaffs: Adopted December 10, 2009
Considering the limitation of full -access drive locations and the nature of the expansion, the site
plan shows a central full -access drive, which then "tee's" into driveways going north and south

adjacent to the building to access the employee parking areas. The proposed parking has been
designed to satisfy the Town of Cary's minimum parking standards and meet the necessary
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Owner Statement of Justification and Needs
Headquartered in Cary, NC, Epic has become one of the world's leading technology and video
gaming companies. In doing so, Epic has continued to hire and grow its company, bringing more
technology and high paying jobs to the area. Epic competes for talent against areas like
Shanghai, San Francisco, Los Angeles and London. In order to compete to attract global talent,
Epic has had to invest in buildings that are cutting edge. At the same time, Epic must provide a
work environment that supports the collaborative nature of their creative design and
technology development processes.
As Epic continues to grow, we need to connect a second building to our existing headquarters
to facilitate development and team collaboration. That building connection creates a campus
where programmers will intersect throughout their day with artists and game designers and
drive creativity. Connected collaboration is imperative to what we do every day. Our game
teams must interact, face to face, because each team is working on a different component to
what will, in the end, become an integrated video game. Our teams must stay in sync with each
other and larger travel distances between work areas reduce the likelihood or practicality of
this necessary interaction. Unfortunately, this creates the need to impact some of the wetlands
so Epic can build and connect to our existing headquarters and thereby enable our team's
creativity.
With respect to the size of the facility, this is a result of reviewing historical growth of the
company and expected space demand based on our current scheduled product launches. As an
entertainment technology company, we compete to stay five years ahead of where the market
is and design and create where games and technology will be in 2025 and beyond. As we grow
we expect to fully occupy the entire structure we are planning to build.

verified by the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be
reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to

relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.

Conservation Service, prior to starting work.
