The subject property is located on Ten Ten Road (SR ioio) approximately 500 feet east of the intersection of Ten Ten Road and Holly Springs Road (SR 1152). The site is approximately 22 acres in size and contains an unnamed tributary to Dutchmans Branch in the Neuse River Basin. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03020201. The Water Quality classification is WS III; NSW, and the stream index is 27-43-4.5 Project History Soil and Environmental Consultants conducted detailed wetland delineation and riparian buffer evaluations in May 2004. Site meetings were conducted with the USACE on August 31, 2004 to verify the wetland delineation. In addition, Ms. Debbie Edwards of DWQ confirmed riparian buffer locations. A 4oi-certification was issued on Jan 12, 2005 for impacts associated with storm water BMP's and road fill (DWQ 04-1940). The impacts consisted of 0.093 acres of wetlands and 54 linear feet of stream channel impact (see attached 4oi-certification). In February 2oo6, Withers & Ravenel re-delineated the base ofa drained pond in the southwest corner of the property. Based on our field determination, a request was made to DWQto appeal a previous buffer determination. Ms. Cyndi Karoly agreed that no stream channel was present within the base of the drained pond. A copy of her letter is attached. Proposed Impacts The proposed impacts consist of 1,305 SF of lot fill placed in the base of a drained pond. The .cumulative impacts for this project are 1,305 SF+4,070 SF (0.124 acres). Since the impacts are greaterthan o.i acres, mitigation has been proposed to NC-EEP. Impacts are summarized in the table below as well as in the PCN form. iii MacKenan Drive i Cary, North Carolina 27511 1 tel: 919.469.3340 1 fax: 919.467.6oo8 i www.withersravenei.com 7040 Wrightsville Ave i Suite 1o1 i Wilmington, North Carolina 28403 1 tel: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 I NWP # Impact # Linear Feet SF Acres Previous 54 54 0.001 Previous NA 4,070 0.093 Proposed NA 1,305 0.030 Total 54 5,375 0.124 Avoidance and Minimization Wetland delineations were conducted prior to site plan development to minimize impacts. 2:1 fill slopes were utilized to minimize impacts to wetlands. It is important to note that the out of a 22 acre project the cumulative wetland impacts are only 0.124 acres. Additionally, as part of the applicant's commitment to protect water quality, the BMP devices on-site were oversized to treat stormwater run-off from the adjacent commercial development (i.e. Walgreens). Stormwater Management Plan As part of the 4o1 approval process, our stormwater management was reviewed and approved by DWQ (see attached 401 certification), therefore we have not included it with this permit application. Mitigation Since the cumulative wetland impacts are greaterthan o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy wetland mitigation requirements. No stream channel mitigation is required since the cumulative impacts are only 54 linear feet. A copy of our request for payment to EEP is included with the attachments.

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. Wetland delineations were conducted prior to site plan development to minimize impacts. 2:1 fill slopes were utilized to minimize impacts to wetlands. It is important to note that the out of a 22 acre project the cumulative impacts are only 0.124 acres. Additionally, as part of the Page 5 of 9 applicant's commitment to protect water quality, the BMP devices on-site were oversized to treat stormwater run-off from the adiacent commercial development (i.e. Wal rg eens). 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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at ham://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Page 6 of 9 Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0.124 Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) 1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No X. 3. 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 ? 2. 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 (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ? No ? 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. 1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? Yes ? No 2. If "yes", 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* Impact Multiplier Required (square feet) Mitigation 1 NA 3 (2 for Catawba) NA 2 NA 1.5 NA Total NA NA * Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. Page 7 of 9 I 3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. NA XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (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. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The site will contain approximately 30% impervious surface following buildout. As part of the 401 approval process our stormwater management was reviewed and approved by DWQ (see attached 401 certification) therefore we have not included it with this permit application. 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. Sanitary Sewer XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: As stated by the "DRAFT Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality October 3 2002, version 1.6 prepared by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, residential subdivisions are unlikely to require a cumulative impacts analysis. The deVintage Subdivision does not meet any of the three criteria of private development projects that can clearly result in cumulative impacts. The applicant will comply with the applicable local and state regulations pertaining to water quality, therefore, we do not anticipate downstream degradation. ;XV. 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 Page 8 of 9 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).

After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 (GC3402). The Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 18 or 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, Non- discharge, and Water Supply Watershed Protection 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 required area of mitigation to compensate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers is 6,221 square feet as required under this Authorization Certificate and 15A NCAC 2B .0242. We understand that you wish to make a payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund administered by the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has been determined by the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Ecosystem Enhancement Program Office), no impacts specified in this Authorization Certificate shall occur. The EEP should be contacted at (919) 733-5208 if you have any questions concerning payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund. You have one month from the date of this approval to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Authorization Certificate authorizes payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund to compensate for 7,785 ftz of Zone 1 and 5,439 fe of Zone 2 required riparian buffer mitigation for impacts to 6,221 ftz of protected riparian buffers (2,595 Zone 1 & 3,626 Zone 2); 03-04-02 river and subbasin." Diffuse Flow All stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers and will not re-concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233(5). 4. Written Stormwater Management Plan The final, written stormwater management plans (including a signed and notarized Operation and Maintenance Agreement) dated January 11, 2005, must be implemented and the stormwater management facilities shall be constructed and operational before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. Stormwater easements shall be recorded for a distance of at least 10 feet on each side of all stormwater conveyances, constructed wetlands and wet ponds on all lots containing these structures including future access for maintenance. The stormwater easements shall allow for the ability to maintain the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of the structures from potential alternations by future property owners. The Operation & Maintenance (O&M) agreement signed by the current landowner has been approved by the DWQ. This O&M agreement must transfer with the sale of the land or transfer of responsibility for the stormwater facilities and the DWQ must be notified of every transfer. 5 Protective Fencing JWM Developers Page 3 of 4 1/12/05 r E The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC 2B 33 and GC 3402. y 6. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO 10000 Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the project.

The feature is labeled as "A" on the attached map initialed by me on December 30, 2005. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Staff had previously conducted an on-site determination of the feature. In your letter to the Director dated December 5, 2005, you requested an appeal of the determination as provided within 15A NCAC 02B.0233(3)(a). At your request, I conducted an appeal of the determination as stated above. During my review I determined that feature "A" is an intermittent stream starting at the dam and continues downstream. Previously, the feature had been flagged further upstream of the dam within the old drained pond bed. The DWQ has determined that the stream labeled as "A" on the attached map is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule upstream of the dam, but is subject downstream of the dam. This determination shall replace the determination originally performed by this Office. This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require additional information please call me at (919) 733- 9721. This determination is subject to review as provided in Articles 3 & 4 of G.S. 150B.

The subject property is located on Ten Ten Road (SR 1olo) approximately 500 feet east of the intersection of Ten Ten Road and Holly Springs Road (SR 1152). The site is approximately 22 acres in size and contains an unnamed tributary to Dutchmans Branch in the Neuse River Basin. The Hydrologic Unit Code for this basin is 03020201. The Water Quality classification is WS III; NSW, and the stream index is 27=43-4.5 Project History Soil and Environmental Consultants conducted detailed wetland delineation and riparian buffer evaluations in May 2004. Site meetings were conducted with the USACE on August 31, 2004 to verify the wetland delineation. In addition, Ms. Debbie Edwards of DWQ confirmed riparian buffer locations. A 401-certification was issued on Jan 12, 2005 for impacts associated with storm water BMP's and road fill (DWQ 04-1940). The impacts consisted of 0.093 acres of wetlands and 54 linear feet of stream channel impact (see attached 401-certification). In February 2oo6, Withers & Ravenel re-delineated the base of a drained pond in the southwest corner of the property. Based on our field determination, a request was made to DWQto appeal a previous buffer determination. Ms. Cyndi Karoly agreed that no stream channel was present within the base of the drained pond. A copy of her letter is attached. Proposed Impacts The proposed impacts consist of 1,305 SFof lot fill placed in the base of a drained pond. The cumulative impacts for this project are 1,305 SF + 4,070 SF (0.124 acres). Since the impacts are greaterthan o.1 acres, mitigation has been proposed to NC-EEP. Impacts are summarized in the table below as well as in the PCN form. iii MacKenan Drive i Cary, North Carolina 27511 1 tel: 919.469.3340 1 fax: 919.467.6oo8 i www.withersravenet.com 7040 Wrightsville Ave i Suite 1o1 i Wilmington, North Carolina 28403 1 tet: 910.256.9277 1 fax: 910.256.2584 NWP # Im act # Linear Feet SF Acres Previous 54 54 0.001 Previous NA ,070 0.093 Proposed NA 1,305 0.030 Total 54 5,375 0.124 Avoidance and Minimization Wetland delineations were conducted prior to site plan development to minimize impacts. 2:1 fill slopes were utilized to minimize impacts to wetlands. It is important to note that the out of a 22 acre project the cumulative wetland impacts are only 0.124 acres. Additionally, as part of the applicant's commitment to protect water quality, the BMP devices on-site were oversized to treat stormwater run-off from the adjacent commercial development (i.e. Walgreens). Stormwater Management Plan As part of the 4o1 approval process, our stormwater management was reviewed and approved by DWQ (see attached 401 certification), therefore we have not included it with this permit application. Mitigation Since the cumulative wetland impacts are greater than o.1 acres, the applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfy wetland mitigation requirements. No stream channel mitigation is required since the cumulative impacts are only 54 linear feet. A copy of our request for payment to EEP is included with the attachments.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe 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. Wetland delineations were conducted prior to site plan development to minimize impacts. 2:1 fill slopes were utilized to minimize impacts to wetlands. It is important to note that the out of a 22 acre project, the cumulative impacts are only 0.124 acres. Additionally, as part of the Page 5 of 9 applicant's commitment to protect water quality, the BMP devices on-site were oversized to treat stormwater run-off from the adjacent commercial development (i.e. Wal rg eens): 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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 applicant proposes payment to the NC-EEP to satisfymitigation requirements 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP).

If no, please provide a short narrative description: As stated by the "DRAFT Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality October 3, 2002, version 1.6 prepared by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, most residential subdivisions are unlikely to require a cumulative impacts analysis. The deVintage Subdivision does not meet any of the three criteria of private development projects that can clearly result in cumulative impacts. The applicant will comply with the applicable local and state regulations pertaining to water quality, therefore, we do not anticipate downstream degradation. XV. 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 Page 8 of 9 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).

After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 (GC3402). The Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 18 or 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, Non- discharge, and Water Supply Watershed Protection 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 211.0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. Conditions: 1. Impacts Approved ??ILI NOne Cato 1 a 401 Wetlands Certification Unit tuCa<y 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919-733-1786 / FAX 919-733-6893 1 Internet: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands t JWM Developers Page 2 of 4 1/12/05 The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met.

Wetlands Impact Ma (1/11105) 2. Buffer Mitigation (EEP) You are required to mitigate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers. The required area of mitigation to compensate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers is 6,221 square feet as required under this Authorization Certificate and 15A NCAC 213 .0242. We understand that you wish to make a payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund administered by the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has been determined by the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Ecosystem Enhancement Program Office), no impacts specified in this Authorization Certificate shall occur. The EEP should be contacted at (919) 733-5208 if you have any questions concerning payment into the Riparian Buffer y Restoration Fund. You have one month from the date of this approval to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Authorization Certificate authorizes payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund to compensate for 7,785 W of Zone 1 and 5,439 fe of Zone 2 required riparian buffer mitigation for impacts to 6,221 ft2 of protected riparian buffers (2,595 Zone 1 & 3,626 Zone 2); 03-04-02 river and subbasin." 3. Diffuse Flow All stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers and will not re-concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B.0233(5). 4. Written Stormwater Management Plan The final, written stormwater management plans (including a signed and notarized Operation and Maintenance Agreement) dated January 11, 2005, must be implemented and the stormwater management facilities shall be constructed and operational before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. Stormwater easements shall be recorded for a distance of at least 10 feet on each side of all stormwater conveyances, constructed wetlands and wet ponds on all lots containing these structures including future access for maintenance. The stormwater easements shall allow for the ability to maintain the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of the structures from potential alternations by future property owners. The Operation & Maintenance (O&M) agreement signed by the current landowner has been approved by the DWQ. This O&M agreement must transfer with the sale of the land or transfer of responsibility for the stormwater facilities and the DWQ must be notified of every transfer. 5. Protective Fencing i JWM Developers Page 3 of 4 1/12/05 The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A NCAC 2B 33 and GC 3402. 6. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwaterto be discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be found at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/Forms Documents.htm. 7. Deed Notifications Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to this project. 8. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards: a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual. b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project. 9. ` No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. 10. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is a' { JWM Developers Page 4 of 4 1/12/05 unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project. 11.

Subject Property: Buffer Determination Appeal for Stream Feature A, De Vintage Subdivision (formerly Langston Commons/TenTen Road Site), On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) Dear Mr. Preuninger: On December 30, 2005, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review a feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "A" on the attached map initialed by me on December 30, 2005. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Staff had previously conducted an on-site determination of the feature. In your letter to the Director dated December 5, 2005, you requested an appeal of the determination as provided within 15A NCAC 02B.0233(3)(a). At your request, I conducted an appeal of the determination as stated above. During my review I determined that feature "A" is an intermittent stream starting at the dam and continues downstream. Previously, the feature had been flagged further upstream of the dam within the old drained pond bed. The DWQ has determined that the stream labeled as "A" on the attached map is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule upstream of the dam, but is subject downstream of the dam. This determination shall replace the determination originally performed by this Office. This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the United States or Waters of the I State..
