Project Information S&EC Project No. 4657.W2 April 13, 2006 Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings, impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion, so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 1 I by 17-inch format; however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided. 1. Name of project: Access Office Park- Westgate Road 2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): N/A 3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 0768934479 & 0768943226 4. Location County: Wake Nearest Town: Raleigh Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): NA Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): The property is located at 9512 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC, From the 440 Beltline, take US70/Glenwood Avenue west towards Durham; Turn right on Westgate Road, just before the intersection with 540; Go north (right) on Westgate for only a few yards then turn left immediately on to the "access road", the site will be on your left. 5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.) Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 35.9031°N, 78.7657°W (WGS84/NADU 6. Property size (acres): approx. 22 acres 7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Sycamore Creek (27-33-9, B, NSW) 8. River Basin: Upper Neuse (DWQ 03-04-02; USGS Cataloging Unit 03020201) (Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.) 9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Page 2 of 9 Access Office Park - Westgate Road, Raleigh, NC USACE / DWQ Notification S&EC Project No. 4657.W2 April 13, 2006 The site is currently vacant, partially wooded land. An access drive crossing already exists across Sycamore Creek to the property. Properties in the vicinity of the project include primarily commercial property. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project includes the construction of an office park including two office buildings, parking and associated infrastructure. Heavy equipment typically used for tile grading and construction of buildings, parking lots and associated infrastructure will be used. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The project purpose is to construct an drive to provide ingress and egress to the office park and to construct a sanitary sewer line to provide sewer service to the site. IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. S&EC has evaluated the site for the presence of surface waters regulated under Section 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act and the DWQ Neuse River Buffer Rule. S&EC believes that a marginal wetland exists on the site less than <1/10`h acre in size (see photos and data forms). This has not yet been confirmed by the USACE. No other surface waters were located on the property with the exception of Sycamore Creek. Surface waters subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rule were confirmed by the DWQ during a site meeting conducted by Mr. Steve Mitchell (DWQ Raleigh Regional Office) on June 22, 1999. Mr. Mitchell's determination did not include an expiration date, as such we understand based on conversations with the DWQ that this determination is still valid. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. There are no future pen-nit requests anticipated for this project or this property. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from Page 3 of 9 Access Office Park - Westgate Road, Raleigh, NC USACE / DWQ Notification S&EC Project No. 4657.W2 April 13, 2006 riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The only proposed impacts to surface waters are to 2,371 sf (approximately 0.055 acres) of marginal wetlands (see attached plans). As such, we understand that notification and written concurrence is required to use NWP18 and that two copies must be forwarded to the DWQ to use GC3402. No stream impacts are proposed. The project will comply with all Conditions of NWP18 & GC3402. Disturbance will occur within 50 feet of Sycamore Creek to connect to the existing driveway access and to install a sanitary sewer line (as depicted on the attached plans). (Again, no impacts to Sycamore Creek are proposed.) However, we believe that these impacts are exempt under the Neuse Buffer Rule in that the driveway connection will be less than 40 feet of buffer impact and the sewer crossing is both less than 40 feet wide and is proposed to be constructed within the fill slopes of Westgate Road (an existing transportation facility). These interpretations have been discussed with Ms. Amy Chapman (DWQ). 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding. Wetland Impact Type of Wetland Located within Distance to Area of Site Number Type of Impact (e.g., forested, marsh, 100-year Nearest Impact (indicate on map) herbaceous, bog, etc.) Floodplain Stream (acres) es/no linear feet Wetland Impact Fill Forested Headwater No 50 0.055 Total Wetland Impact (acres) 0.055 3. List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.055 acres 4. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560.

Stream Width Length Impact indicate on ma Before Impact linear feet acres Total Stream Impact (by length and acreage) 0 0 5. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.). Open water impacts include, but are not limited to fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. Open Water Impact Site Number indicate on ma Name of Waterbody (if applicable) Type of Impact Type of Waterbody (lake, pond, estuary, sound, bay, ocean, etc. Area of Impact acres Total Open Water Impact (acres) 0 6.

Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (Wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 8. 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.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: Page 5 of 9 Access Office Park - Westgate Road, Raleigh, NC S&EC Project No. 4657.W2 USACE / DWQ Notification April 13, 2006 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 only impacts to surface waters associated with the development are to 0.055 acres of a marginal wetland (see attached photos) to construct an access drive and required parking_ The only impacts to buffers are considered "exempt" and include a connection to an existing driveway crossing and sewer crossing within the fill slopes and shoulder of Westgate Road. Notification is only required because the wetlands are located in an area designated as the 100-year floodplain and as such NWP18 must be used (rather than NWP39). Measures have been taken to limit the width of the driveway connection and to provide diffuse flow of all stonmvater runoff. 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 detennining 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://112o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/stringide.litin1. 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) Page 6 of 9 Access Office Park - Westgate Road, Raleigh, NC USACE / DWQ Notification S&EC Project No. 4657.W2 April 13, 2006 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. Wetland mitigation is not anticipated in that the applicant proposes to use NWP18 and the impacts are less than 1/l0`h acre. Buffer mitigation is also not anticipated in that the impacts are considered "exempt" under the Neuse Buffer Rule. If mitigation is required then the ap lip cant proposes payment into EEP. 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 http://h2o.enr.statc.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federaUstate) land? 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 El 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 snap 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 Page 7 of 9 Access Office Park - Westgate Road, Raleigh, NC USACE / DWQ Notification S&EC Project No. 4657.W2 April 13, 2006 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 213 .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC 213 .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. Road / Driveway EXEMPT Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 143 3 (2 for Catawba) 0 2 808 1.5 0 Total 951 0 * Zone I 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 I. Sewer Line (EXEMPT) Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 1,264 3 (2 for Catawba) 0 2 588 1.5 0 Total 1,852 0 * Zone I 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. 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 213 .0242 or.0244, or.0260. Buffer mitigation should not be required in that the proposed impacts are "exempt". 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. It is anticipated that the impervious surface for the development will exceed 30%. However, given that written concurrence is not required we do not anticipate that a stormwater management plan will be required. The project will comply with the diffuse flow provision of Page 8 of 9 Access Office Park - Westgate Road, Raleigh, NC USACE / DWQ Notification S&:EC Project No. 4657.W2 April 13, 2006 the Neuse Buffer Rule as well as the City of Raleigh / DWQ nutrient management stormwater ordinance. 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. The project will connect to the City of Raleigh sewer system. The City will ensure that there is available capacity at their facility to handle the wastewater generated from the project. 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: The project is a relatively small office complex that is being developed to meet existing market demands and is not anticipated to lead to cumulative impacts to water quality. The City of Raleigh and DWQ have sufficient ordinances and rules within this watershed to protect water quality. 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 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).

At this time, 49 days have lapsed since the US Army Corps of Engineer's receipt of the complete application. To paraphrase the Federal Register (Vol. 67, No. 10, section 13.a.1), the permittee may begin the proposed work if the USACE has not sent any written notices (i.e. the permit itself or any notice of an incomplete submittal, etc.) within 45 days of the District or Division Office of the USACE receiving the complete permit application. Therefore, according to the aforementioned regulation we understand that the applicant may proceed with the proposed activity as requested in the submitted application.
