This project proposes anew sanitary- sewer installation to eliminate the use of the pump station presently on site. This project only requires impacts to protected Neuse Buffers. No stream or wetland impacts are proposed for this project. Impacts to the Neuse Buffers are unavoidable, as illustrated on the attached plans. The purpose of this project is to replace an existing sanitary sewer pump station with a new section of gravity sewer. This is made possible by a relatively new development downstream from the project site. The proposed new section of gravity sanitary- sewer will flow into the existing gravity sanitary sewer collection system downstream. According to the design engineer for this project, this pump station has a history of failures. The attached plans illustrate both existing conditions of the project site and the proposed alterations. As stated above, the project site currently contains a sanitary sewer pump station, gravity supply lines, a force main, utility line easements, a gravel drive to access the pump station, a section of piped stream channel and multiple areas of rip-rap slope protection (see "F-risting Conditions" plan). Per 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (3)(b)(i), impacts to areas covered by the footprint of these existing uses are not included in the Neuse Buffer impact table. The design of this sanitary sewer system calls for the existing gravel access road and pump station components to be removed and grassed. Although this area cannot be protected by a perpetual conservation easement because it will be located in a City of Raleigh utility easement, we feel that the removal of these impervious surfaces is worthy of Neuse Buffer enhancement credits. However, should you disagree, we have submitted an In-Lieu Fee Request Form for proposed Neuse Buffer impacts to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide mitigation as required. Thank you for your time spent reviewing this PCN Application. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this project or if you need any additional information to process the application.

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. As illustrated by the attached site plan, impacts to the Buffer are unavoidable due to topographical constraints and existing structures. 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 Updated 11/112005 Page 9 of 12 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.ne.us/ncNvetlands/strm,ide.html. 1.

December 8, 2006 Mrs. Cyndi Karoly NCDWQ - 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit 2321 Crabtree Blvd. Suite 250 Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 2 0 0 6 1 8 x 5 RIM&NOW[Ro DEC 8 2Q06 r'am ANQ stbt'CVW#tR 6KWi Re: Hartford Hills Sanitary Sewer - PCN Application for Proposed Sanitary Sewer Installation Raleigh, North Carolina (Wake Couno - Neuse River Basin) Mrs. Karoly: Attached is a completed Pre-Construction Notification Application for the Hartford Hills Sanitary Sewer project in Raleigh, NC (Wake Counnl. This project proposes a new sanitary sewer installation to eliminate the use of the pump station presently on site. This project only requires impacts to protected Neuse Buffers. No stream or wetland impacts are proposed for this project. Impacts to the Neuse Buffers are unavoidable, as illustrated on the attached plans. The purpose of this project is to replace an existing sanitary sewer pump station with a new section of gravity sewer. This is made possible by a relatively new development downstream from the project site. The proposed new section of gravity sanitary sewer will flow into the existing gravity sanitary sewer collection system downstream. According to the design engineer for this project, this pump station has a history of failures. The attached plans illustrate both existing conditions of the project site and the proposed alterations. As stated above, the project site currently contains a sanitary sewer pump station, gravity supply lines, a force main, utility line easements, a gravel drive to access the pump station, a section of piped stream channel and multiple areas of rip-rap slope protection (see "Existing Conditions" plan). Per 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (3)(b)(i), impacts to areas covered by the footprint of these existing uses are not included in the Neuse Buffer impact table. The design of this sanitary sewer system calls for the existing gravel access road and pump station components to be removed and grassed. Although this area cannot be protected by a perpetual conservation easement because it will be located in a City of Raleigh utility easement, we feel that the removal of these impervious surfaces is worthy of Neuse Buffer enhancement credits. However, should you disagree, we have submitted an In-Lieu Fee Request Form for proposed Neuse Buffer impacts to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide mitigation as required. Thank you for your time spent reviewing this PCN Application. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this project or if you need any additional information to process the application.

UA I 1 Re: Hartford Hills Sanitary Sewer - PCN Application for Proposed Sanitary Sewer Installation Raleigh, North Carolina (Wake County- Neuse River Basin) Mrs. Karoly Attached is a completed Pre-Construction Notification Application for the Hartford Hills Sanitary Sewer project in Raleigh, NC (Wake County). This project proposes a new sanitary sewer installation to eliminate the use of the pump station presently on site. This project only requires impacts to protected Neuse Buffers. No stream or wetland impacts are proposed for this project. Impacts to the Neuse Buffers are unavoidable, as illustrated on the attached plans. The purpose of this project is to replace an existing sanitary sewer pump station with a new section of gravity sewer. This is made possible by a relatively new development downstream from the project site. The proposed new section of gravity sanitary sewer will flow into the existing gravity sanitary sewer collection system downstream. According to the design engineer for this project, this pump station has a history of failures. The attached plans illustrate both existing conditions of the project site and the proposed alterations. As stated above, the project site currently contains a sanitary sewer pump station, gravity supply lines, a force main, utility line easements, a gravel drive to access the pump station, a section of piped stream channel and multiple areas of rip-rap slope protection (see "Existing Conditions" plan). Per 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (3)(b)(i), impacts to areas covered by the footprint of these existing uses are not included in the Neuse Buffer impact table. The design of this sanitary sewer system calls for the existing gravel access road and pump station components to be removed and grassed. Although this area cannot be protected by a perpetual conservation easement because it will be located in a City of Raleigh utility easement, we feel that the removal of these impervious surfaces is worthy of Neuse Buffer enhancement credits. However, should you disagree, we have submitted an In-Lieu Fee Request Form for proposed Neuse Buffer impacts to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide mitigation as required. Thank you for your time spent reviewing this PCN Application. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this project or if you need any additional information to process the application.

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. As illustrated by the attached site plan, impacts to the Buffer are unavoidable due to topographical constraints and existing structures. . 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 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 12 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 hLtp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.

Re: Hartford Hills Sanitary Sewer - PCN Application for Proposed Sanitary Sewer Installation Raleigh, North Carolina (Wake County- :-euse River Basin) Mrs. Karoly: Attached is a completed Pre-Construction Notification Application for the Hartford Hills Sanitary Sewer project in Raleigh, NC (Wake Counn). This project proposes a new sanitary- sewer installation to eliminate the use of the pump station presently on site. This project only requires impacts to protected Neuse Buffers. No stream or wetland impacts are proposed for this project. Impacts to the Neuse Buffers are unavoidable, as illustrated on the attached plans. The purpose of this project is to replace an existing sanitary sewer pump station with a new section of gravity sewer. This is made possible by a relatively new development downstream from the project site. The proposed new section of gravity sanitary sewer will flow into the existing gravity sanitary sewer collection system downstream. According to the design engineer for this project, this pump station has a history of failures. The attached plans illustrate both existing conditions of the project site and the proposed alterations. As stated above, the project site currently contains a sanitary sewer pump station, gravity supply lines, a force main, utility line easements, a gravel drive to access the pump station, a section of piped stream channel and multiple areas of rip-rap slope protection (see "FYisting Conditions" plan). Per 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (3)(b)(i), impacts to areas covered by the footprint of these existing uses are not included in the Neuse Buffer impact table. The design of this sanitary sewer system calls for the existing gravel access road and pump station components to be removed and grassed. Although this area cannot be protected by a perpetual conservation easement because it will be located in a City of Raleigh utility easement, we feel that the removal of these impervious surfaces is worthy of Neuse Buffer enhancement credits. However, should you disagree, we have submitted an In-Lieu Fee Request Form for proposed Neuse Buffer impacts to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide mitigation as required. Thank you for your time spent reviewing this PCN Application. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this project or if you need any additional information to process the application. Sincerely,.,..

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. As illustrated by the attached site plan, impacts to the Buffer are unavoidable due to topographical constraints and existing structures. 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 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9of12 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. 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. Payment to the EEP is proposed for Neuse Buffer impacts. 2.

This project proposes a new sanitary sewer installation to eliminate the use of the pump station presently on site. This project only requires impacts to protected Neuse Buffers. No stream or wetland impacts are proposed for this project. Impacts to the Neuse Buffers are unavoidable, as illustrated on the attached plans. The purpose of this project is to replace an existing sanitary sewer pump station with a new section of gravity sewer. This is made possible by a relatively new development downstream from the project site. The proposed new section of gravity sanitary- sewer will flow into the existing gravity sanitary sewer collection system downstream. According to the design engineer for this project, this pump station has a history of failures. The attached plans illustrate both existing conditions of the project site and the proposed alterations. As stated above, the project site currently contains a sanitary sewer pump station, gravity supply lines, a force main, utility line easements, a gravel drive to access the pump station, a section of piped stream channel and multiple areas of rip-rap slope protection (see "Existing Conditions" plan). Per 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (3)(b)(i), impacts to areas covered by the footprint of these existing uses are not included in the Neuse Buffer impact table. The design of this sanitary sewer system calls for the existing gravel access road and pump station components to be removed and grassed. Although this area cannot be protected by a perpetual conservation easement because it will be located in a City of Raleigh utility easement, we feel that the removal of these impervious surfaces is worthy of Neuse Buffer enhancement credits. However, should you disagree, we have submitted an In-Lieu Fee Request Form for proposed Neuse Buffer impacts to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide mitigation as required. Thank you for your time spent reviewing this PCN Application. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this project or if you need any additional information to process the application.
