Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 6, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3402 (GC3402). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 39 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0233. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Water Supply, Watershed and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit. This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. The Additional Conditions of the Certification are: 1.

Re: Pre-Construction Notification Application Form for Pinecrest Subd' ra?12M0 ?'! g D Phase I, in Rolesville, NC (Wake County) MAY 8 2005 " Dear Ms. Wade-and Ms. Karol , y WEX4 AND ArsMWMTMM M Attached is the completed PCN Application Form for proposed wetland and Neuse River Buffer impacts required for Pinecrest Subdivision Phase I (PIN 1769.02-88-5127) in Rolesville (Wake County). The site covers 87.85 acres (Phase I is 78.18 acres), off of US-401 (Louisburg Road) north of Rolesville and is in the Neuse River Basin. Jurisdictional wetlands on this site were delineated and site concurrence meetings were held with Mr. Mike Horan of NC DWQ on March 10, 2005 and with Ms. Andrea Wade of USACE on April 19, 2005. A site plan labeled "Pinecrest Subdivision - Wetland and Neuse River Buffer Impact Map (Drawing Sheet WL-1.0)" is attached to illustrate proposed wetland and Neuse River Buffer impacts. Also attached are: Drawing Sheet WL-2.0, showing zoomed in views of specific impact areas; Drawing Sheet C-3.0, the Storm Drainage and Ditch Design Site Plan; and Drawing Sheet C-3.1, the Site Erosion Control Plan. Proposed wetland impacts in Impact Area #1 (0.0651 acres) are required for grading and storm drainage associated with the main road in the subdivision. This road was oriented along the eastern property boundary rather than the southern boundary in order to minimize wetland impacts. Proposed wetland impacts in Impact Area #2 (0.0243 acres) are required for grading and storm drainage associated with the installation of a residential driveway to Lot 40. A 30-foot wide private driveway easement was placed on Lot 40 across the wetland area. This entire wetland area would potentially not be impacted. The driveway would be a standard 12-foot wide driveway and would require a culvert in order to pass the flow from the north beneath the driveway. The alignment of the driveway is unknown at this time, so all of the wetlands within the 30-foot easement are shown as impacted. The actual impact is expected to be far less than the 0.0243 acres proposed. Proposed wetland impacts in Impact Area #3 (0.1066 acres) are required for grading and storm drainage associated with the main entrance into the subdivision. The subdivision Phone: (919) 854-7990 ? Fax: (919) 854-7925 ? 972 Trinity Road ? Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 entrance was moved as far to the north as possible in order to reduce the wetland impacts associated with its installation. The shift was restricted by the proximity of an adjacent property and required boundary setbacks. Proposed impacts to Neuse River Buffers in Impact Area #4 (ZI NRB -1583 sgft, Z2 NRB Permanent - 51 sgft, Z2 NRB Temporary -1555 sgft) are necessary to provide a turning lane into the subdivision and are required by the NC Department of Transportation. The proposed impacts are the result of approximately 2 feet of additional pavement (at Impact Area #4) to US-401 and the associated grading and drainage ditch relocation. A large portion of the area where the proposed Neuse River Buffer impacts would occur consists of grassed areas on the sides of US-401 and all of the impacts occur within the Right-Of-Way. The owner anticipates an additional permit application for Phase II of Pinecrest Subdivision. Phase II includes two lots in the northwestern corner of the property. The feasibility of these lots is currently being examined. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions, comments or concerns about this application.

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. 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.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A Page 9 of 14 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 techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The subdivision entrance roadway was moved as far to the north as possible in order to reduce the wetland impacts associated with its installation (Impact Area #3). The shift was restricted by the proximity of an adjacent proppa and required boundary setbacks The main road through the subdivision was oriented along the eastern property boundary, rather than along the southern portion of the property, to minimize wetland impacts -pact Area #1). The proposed driveway impact mpact Area #2 is required to gain access to Lot 40 A 30- foot wide private driveway easement was placed on Lot 40 across the wetland area This entire wetland area would potentially not be impacted. The driveway would be a standard 12-foot wide driveway and would require a culvert in order to pass the flow from the north beneath the driveway. The alignment of the driveway is unknown at this time so all of the wetlands within the 30-foot easement are shown as impacted The actual impact is expected to be far less than the 0.1066, acres proposed. The proposed widening impacts to Neuse River Buffers (Impact Area #4) are necesM to provide a turning lane into the subdivision and are required by Wake County The proposed impact is the result of approximately 2 feet of additional pavement at Impact Area #4 to US 401 and the associated grading and drainage ditch relocation. A large portion of the area where the proposed Neuse River Buffer impacts would occur is currently a grassed area on the side of the existing portions of US-401. 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 Page 10 of 14 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 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. The owner does not anticipate any mitigation. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.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): None Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): None Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): None Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): None IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state) 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)? Page 11 of 14 Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 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 (required by DWQ) 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 )? 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. Zone* I Impact I Multiplier I Required i ...?. r .? a r;....: 1 1583 3 2 (51 Perm) (1555 Temp) 1.5 Total 1 (1634 Perm) (1555 Temp) Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260. Buffer mitigation is not required. Page 12 of 14 XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (both 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. There are no impervious surfaces existing on the site. Post development impervious areas would include streets driveways, and houses. The proposed roads within the subdivision will account for 1.83 acres of impervious surfaces, or 2.4% of Phase I. The remaining 27.6% of the allowed impervious surfaces before the 30% threshold is reached would allow in excess of a half acre of impervious surface per lot (38 lots total in Phase I). This amount rg eatly exceeds the expected amount of impervious area. Storm water on the site will be conducted to level spreaders through grassed swales reinforced with material that will reduce erosion while not interfering_ with plant growth. The massed swales will provide treatment durm kggport and level spreaders will release stormwater as diffuse flow through Neuse River Buffers. Silt fence, temporary sediment basins, and diversion ditches will be used during construction to control sediment movement. XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. Wastewater generated on the site will be treated by septic systems on each lot. XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 21-1.0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No Page 13 of 14 X1V. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may. choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). 45-66, ZeoS Appficant/Agent''s Signatyde Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)
