1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Scannell Development Company proposes the construction of an approximately 1,000,000 s.f.
warehouse distribution hub comprised of six (6) buildings. The buildings will include 30 -ft clear ceiling
heights, supporting office space, dock -high and drive in loading areas, vehicular parking, tilt -up concrete
construction, ESFR sprinkler systems, 190 -ft wide truck courts with rear and cross -dock loading
configurations. The use requires a semi -truck roadway, circulation, parking and loading infrastructure,
and required stormwater and utility services. The proposed warehouse distribution hub is located in
Knightdale on Hodge Road, approximately 2,000 feet north of the intersection of Poole Road and Hodge
Road in Wake County, North Carolina (Figure 1 in Appendix A). The project is being developed to
serve multiple possible end users.
The 78.8 - acre project area has previously been used for agricultural purposes. It has been partially
cleared of vegetation. Field confirmed waters of the US include one jurisdictional stream and multiple
wetlands (see Figure 2 in Appendix A). The project area consists of two parcels that now or formerly
were owned by Mary Lou Murphy and Susan Elain Murphy. These parcels are currently zoned as
Manufacturing and Industrial by the Town of Knightdale. The proposed warehouse distribution center
development construction activities involve unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands that are
subject to Section 404 regulations under the Clean Water Act ("CWA").
The first phase of this project was initially authorized to impact 0.465 acres of wetland by the USACE
under Nationwide Permit ("NWP") 39 and 12 on February 19, 2016 (Action ID: SAW -2014-02127).
This document is being submitted in efforts to receive an Individual Permit for this project in order to
resume construction activities. The previously authorized NWP project originally proposed additional
wetland impacts at an off-site location for the purposes of installing a sanitary sewer line. These wetland
impacts are no longer necessary because the Town of Knightdale extended its sewer line to the project
site.
Scannell Development Company is submitting an Individual Permit application to the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers ("USACE") requesting authorization to permanently impact 1.658 acres of wetlands
pursuant to Section 404 of the CWA of 1972 (33 USC 1344). This quantity includes the adjusted
quantity of permanent impacts previously authorized by the 2016 Nationwide Permit. An Individual
Water Quality Certification will also be requested from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(DWR) for these impacts pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
This document is intended for use by USACE and DWR as the basis for determining the applicant's
compliance with the Section 404 (b) (1) guidelines and other Section 404 permitting requirements, and
Section 401 water quality certification.
1.1 Prior Agency Coordination
A Nationwide Permit (NWP) was initially pursued for this project verses submitting for an Individual
Permit for all of the impacts at one time, because at the time the NWP PCN was submitted, the project
owner did not own the entire property (the owner had/has a continuing option for the remainder parcels
in the parent project tract.) The site plan showing full build -out was required to be submitted to the
Town of Knightdale for the purposes of rezoning the property for warehouse/industrial use and for the
allocation of utility capacity. At the time the owner was ready to begin construction of the first phase,
Hodge Road Property 2
the owner did not know if the site plan submitted to the Town would be completed under its direction
or if the remainder of the development would be sold by the prior owner to another developer prior to
the commencement of construction activities in the remainder.

2.0 PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROJECT
The purpose of this project is to construct an approximately 1,000,000 s.f. industrial business
park/regional package transfer station, known as "Eastgate 540", which has the potential to serve
multiple end users in geographic proximity to major interstate highway corridors.
The Triangle region provides a competitive advantage for businesses. It is an area that includes high
labor productivity, a modest cost -of -living, affordable higher education, and an excellent primary
education system. Scannell Properties market research indicates that the economy in the Raleigh MSA
region has been resilient and outperformed most of the country throughout the recent recession. Since
late 2009 there have been more than 7,000 jobs announced in the region and more than $700 million in
capital investments in the area over the past 12 to 24 months. Regional economic developers are
currently working with 58 companies who seek a Triangle location for either an expansion or a new
operation. These companies represent more than $2.7 billion in investment and 13,000 jobs. The project
site has been chosen, relative to other MSA's due to this recent influx of new Raleigh-Durham area jobs.
This site is in close proximity to (Future) I-587 (current US -264), (Future)1-87 (current US -64/1-495)
and I-40/440. This network of interstates has been identified as a high priority future Interstate corridor,
as indicated by the December 4, 2015 "Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act," enacted
by Congress. The general location was selected also because of the recent improvements to the Port of
Wilmington and Port of Morehead City. These two North Carolina ports ship and receive a variety of
goods and combined they have shipped and received over 6,130,000 tons of goods over the past year.
Proprietary to this project is the ability to provide build -to -suit ownership of up to 1 MM SF east of
Raleigh is a key aspect of its need. Scannell Properties has only two competitors on the east side of
RDU airport for modern light industrial buildings (Hinton Oaks and Greenfield), neither of which has
the land at its option to construct a building larger than 240,000 square feet, and/or sells the built
infrastructure to a user.
3.0 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
Headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("HQUSACE") guidance from April 22, 1986 and
November 1992 requires that alternatives be practicable to the applicant and that the purpose and need
for the project must be the applicant's purpose and need. This guidance also states that project purpose
is to be viewed from the applicant's perspective rather than only from the broad, public perspective.
The essential point of the HQUSACE policy guidance is that under the Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines,
an alternative must be available to the applicant to be a practicable alternative. Section 40 CFR 230.10
(a) of the Guidelines state that "no discharge of dredged or fill material shall be permitted if there is a
practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic
ecosystem, so long as the alternative does not have other significant environmental consequences".
Pursuant to 40 CFR 230.10(a)(2) practicable alternatives are those alternatives that are "available and
capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of
overall project purpose". The 404(b)(1) Guidelines Preamble, "Economic Factors", 45 Federal Register
85343 (December 24, 1980) states, "if an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to the applicant,
the alternative is not practicable".
Hodge Road Property 6
The USACOE has concluded that this proposed activity is in fact the least environmentally damaging
practicable alternative (LEDPA) (Appendix G).
3.1 Alternatives Considered
3.1.1 Off-site Alternatives
Alternatives meeting the purpose and need for the project within an approximately 3 -mile radius
of the mid -pint between the I-540/1-87 (US -264) interchange and the I-40/1-540 Interchange
were evaluated by SEI. The following criteria were used for identification of alternative project
locations:
• Minimum 75 contiguous acres (individual parcels less than 5 acres were excluded) are
required to accommodate 1,000,000 s.f. of warehouse space on the same elevation plane
for highway truck circulation
• Industrial or Manufacturing zoning by the local municipal planning authority, or
undeveloped sites meeting acreage requirement that could be up -zoned
• Sites not currently developed or under development by evidence of a development plan
filed with the local planning authority as of June 6, 2017.
Seven alternatives, including the "No -Build" scenario were evaluated. A total of six sites,
including the preferred alternative location, met the first criterion of a minimum of 75
contiguous un -built -upon acres within the search radius. These alternative locations are shown
on Figure 3 in Appendix A.
An evaluation of comparative suitability, considering the following criteria, was undertaken on
each site:
Potential impact to jurisdictional resources (indicated by stream feet/acre taken from
Wake Co. GIS -June 6-27, 2017, and ground-truth/window-survey for verification
when possible by Spangler Environmental, Inc., June, 2017),
Potential secondary/cumulative impact (indicated by need for significant off-site
utility construction as indicated by utility mapping or available plans found on
municipal Interactive Development Maps, if available, or via local planning authority
contacts -June, 2017), and/or unsuitable topography requiring major grading/hauling
(as indicated by window -survey, and/or major off-site road improvements), and
Practical availability for acquisition (as determined by whether the site has received
site plan approval or is in plan approval process as a precursor to development, as an
indicator of unavailability.
Based on those investigations the following data was used to evaluate certain relative
subjective and objective criteria, with additional information summarized in the table below.

3.1.2 No Build Alternative
In the No -Build scenario, no undertaking of the warehouse project would be made to serve the
increased multi -modal logistics demand create by the geographic warehouse void and the CCX
Transfer complex. Relative to the property owned and optioned by the applicant, the applicant
would not make use of the property it already owns and would not capitalize on their asset. A
no build decision would not meet the applicant's purpose and need.
3.1.3 On -Site Alternatives within the Preferred Alternative Site
The "Eastgate 540" Hodge Road property has local government -approved site planning to
accommodate the construction of an approximately 1,000,000 s.f. warehouse distribution hub,
including office space, required semi -truck roadway, circulation, parking and loading
infrastructure, and required stormwater and utility services. This layout allows the applicant to
make the commercial development financially viable and stay within the zoning guidelines as
defined in the Town of Knightdale UDO. The design team believes that the warehouse design
presented in this permit application represents the most practicable and least environmentally
damaging alternative while still maintaining the applicant's purpose and need.
There are several factors that require the relatively flat finished elevation across the site, which
requires area -wide fill to facilitate the final grade. These factors include:
• Public streets require design with minimum and maximum grades.
• The ability to sewer the individual buildings by gravity that discharges into a wet well
located at the pump station. Pump station wet wells have limits on depth.
• Relief must be provided from individual buildings to their respected BMPs to carry
stormwater and provide volume capacity in the BMP.
• Semi -truck maneuverability and safe operation requires less than 4% grade change.
• Warehouses must be flat, cannot be stepped, for interior forklift and other equipment
safe maneuverability.
• The maximum slope due to ADA requirements is 5% from buildings to public right-of-
way.
These conditions that facilitate a flat, finished grade then dictate the final vertical grade
elevations across the site, which requires significant volumes of fill to get to final grade.
Additional engineering considerations that create alternative layout limitations include:
• The elevation of Hodge Road is fixed.
• Pre -development condition has 70 feet of elevation change from the northwest corner
of the site to the east side of the site.
• The site will require 425,000 cubic yards of cut to fill to achieve the grades necessary
to accommodate ADA compliance, semi -truck maneuverability, and flat -finished floors
of warehouses.
• The site plan utilizes retaining walls to assist with grade transitions and reduce footprint
of the project.
Over 20% of the site is undevelopable due to stream buffers, Town of Knightdale
required perimeter buffers, and Town of Knightdale required right-of-way dedication
for public streets.
Hodge Road Property 10
• Avoiding the stream buffer of the northern -most stream necessitates building setbacks
from slope which then necessitates fill of wetland/old pond on the south side of the
project.
3.1.4 Alternative Site Plans
The applicant evaluated several alternative site plans in an effort to avoid wetland impacts to
the greatest extent practicable. These alternate site plans are labeled as Figure 4-8 in Appendix
A. With exception of Option 5 shown on Figure 8, the remaining site plans contain the same
configuration north and west of the spine road. The spine road bisects the site and terminates at
a Town of Knightdale-required point along the northern site boundary, which provides future
connectivity to the adjacent undeveloped parcel to the north, as required by the Town of
Knightdale. This point of termination allows the future roadway extension to be located outside
a stream buffer, avoiding stream, wetland and buffer impacts. After fixing road location and
grades, the alternative of avoiding old farm -pond wetlands along the southern boundary was
evaluated. To avoid these wetlands would require over 300,000 sf of building infrastructure to
be eliminated from the project, which does not satisfy the project's purpose and need.
During the design process, several alternative layouts of 1,000,000 s.f. of warehouse space (at
the required elevation dictated by the spine road) were considered that would produce varying
amounts of jurisdictional impacts. Site Plan options 14 all require the same amount of impact
to achieve the purpose of the project. Site Plan option 5 increased wetland impact, and was
therefore eliminated from further consideration.
• Site Plan Option 1 (Preferred); Figure 4 General Description: Would include 72,211
s.f. (1.658 acres) of permanent wetland impacts, 128 s.f. of permanent impact to Zone
1 of stream buffer, and 1,215 s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 2 of stream buffer. This
option includes 6 large warehouse buildings, parking lots, access roads and three
stormwater ponds. This preferred site plan option avoids 44.2% (1.315 acres) of
wetlands and 100% (1,390 linear feet) of streams present on the property. The wetlands
avoided are of higher quality using the NC WAM assessment than those that would be
impacted.
• Site Plan Option 2; Figure 5 Would include 72,211 s.f. (1.658 acres) of permanent
wetland impacts, 128 s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 1 of stream buffer, and 1,215
s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 2 of stream buffer. This option includes 4 large and 3
smaller warehouse buildings, parking lots, access roads and four stormwater ponds.
• Site Plan Option 3; Figure 6 Would include 72,211 s.f. (1.658 acres) of permanent
wetland impacts, 128 s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 1 of stream buffer, and 1,215
s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 2 of stream buffer. This option includes 4 large and 3
smaller warehouse buildings, parking lots, access roads and four stormwater ponds.
• Site Plan Option 4; Figure 7 Would include 72,211 s.f. (1.658 acres) of permanent
wetland impacts, 128 s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 1 of stream buffer, and 1,215
s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 2 of stream buffer. This option includes 4 large and 3
smaller warehouse buildings, parking lots, access roads and four stormwater ponds.
• Site Plan Option 5; Figure 8 Would include 75,571 s.f. (1.735 acres) of permanent
wetland impacts, 128 s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 1 of stream buffer, and 1,215
Hodge Road Property 11
s.f. of permanent impact to Zone 2 of stream buffer. This option includes 4 very large
warehouse buildings, parking lots, access roads and three stormwater ponds.
3.1.5 No Permit Alternative
The no permit alternative is considered to be a construction plan that avoids all wetland and
surface water impacts (Figure 9 in Appendix A). This project cannot be downsized or
redesigned to avoid all jurisdictional areas and still satisfy the project purpose and need. Due
to the size of the project, lack of appropriately zoned sites in the area and development
regulations a no permit decision on this property would not meet the applicant's purpose and
need.
Additionally, as previously discussed in the siting criteria the only wetland to avoid is located
in the southeastern portion of the site and developing around the wetland would not satisfy the
project's purpose and need. Saving the wetland would not be feasible. Due to the wetland's
location, size, irregular shape, and elevation, a 75 -ft to 100 —ft wide slope would need to be
constructed around the feature to tie into planned grades. This impact creates an unusable area
of 14.9 acres, which is 19% of the 78.8 acre site before required right-of-way dedication,
perimeter landscape buffers, and dedication of public easements. If the project eliminated
impacts to this wetland by constructing around its perimeter and knowing the project is required
to capture surface runoff from impervious surfaces the wetland rainfall source would be
eliminated and cease to be a wetland. The proposed stormwater control measure discharges
downstream of the wetland and could not be used to replenish moisture in the soil.
3.2 Alternatives Dismissed
• The No Build Alternative and No Permit Alternative are dismissed from further evaluation
because they cannot practicably meet the applicant's stated purpose and need.
• The Off -Site Alternative project locations were dismissed due to unfeasible acquisitions,
relatively greater wetland, stream or floodplain impacts, relatively greater fill and grading
costs, unsuitable zoning, and/or residential displacements.
• On-site Alternative site plan Option 5 was dismissed due to greater wetland impacts.
3.3 Construction Sequence and Timeline
The property is currently planned to be developed in multiple phases. Phase 1 consists of Buildings 1
and 2, Phase 2 will consist of Building 3 and 4, and Phase 3 will consist of Buildings 5 and 6.
Nationwide Permit 39 and 12 verifications allowing Phase 1 construction were obtained in February,
2016. The applicant purchased the land for Phase 1 in September, 2016. The applicant submitted a
Petition for Annexation to the Town of Knightdale for Phase 1 in September 2016. Phase 1 on-site
improvements are currently being constructed, and consist of a public street named Spectrum Drive and
contains public sidewalk, waterline, sanitary sewer and storm drainage. Pond #1, a stormwater control
measure has been constructed. Mass grading has been limited to those areas necessary to install the
public improvements, Building # 1 and a pad for Building # 2. Phase 1 off-site improvements consisted
of Hodge Road widening and a sanitary sewer outfall.
Hodge Road Property 12
The construction of the improvements associated with Phase 1 are currently on schedule to be complete
on or before December 31, 2018.
Phase 2 will require further extension of Spectrum Drive and utilities. The development of Phase 2 will
begin by January 1, 2019 and shall be complete by June 30, 2020. The applicant plans to submit a
Petition for Annexation of Phase 2 by October 1, 2018. Phase 2 improvements will consist of the
remainder of the Spectrum Drive, 2 and will contain public sidewalk, waterline, sanitary sewer and
storm drainage. Pond # 3, a stormwater control measure, will be constructed as part of Phase 2. Mass
grading for Phase 2 will be limited to those areas necessary to install the public improvements, Building
# 3 and Building # 4.
The applicant plans to submit a Petition for Annexation of Phase 3 by October 1, 2020. Phase 3 on-site
improvements will consist of the remainder of the site and will contain sidewalk, waterline, sanitary
sewer and storm drainage. Pond # 4, a stormwater control measure, will be constructed as part of Phase
3. Mass grading for Phase 3 will be limited to those areas necessary to install the public improvements,
Building # 5 and Building #6. Phase 3 off-site improvements will include the remaining widening of
Hodge Road to facilitate dual left -turns into the site with appropriate storage and tapers along with the
installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of Hodge Road and Spectrum Drive. The construction
of these improvements will allow development of either Building 5 or Building 6, or both
simultaneously. The construction of Phase 3 will begin by January 1, 2021 and be completed by
December 31, 2023.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
This section presents existing environmental conditions of the project study area and discusses
environmental impacts anticipated as a result of the proposed project. The project study area has been
visited several times by ESI and agency personnel to evaluate existing conditions and to document
physical and biological resources. The site is located on Hodge Road in Wake County, approximately
2000 feet north of the intersection of Hodge Road and Poole Road. Refer to Figure 1 for a Project Site
Location Map. Total size of the project study area is 78.8 acres.
4.1 Physiographic, Topography, Geology, and Land Use
The project study area is located on the U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5 -minute topographic
quadrangles of Raleigh -East, NC (USGS 2013). More specifically the site is located in the Town of
Knightdale between US Highway 64 and Poole Road. Wake County is in the central part of the piedmont
physiographic providence of North Carolina.
4.1.1 Physical Conditions of Preferred Site
Elevations on the site range from a low of approximately 224 feet above mean sea level (MSL)
within the unnamed tributary stream to the Neuse River floodplain to a high of approximately
294 feet above MSL near Hodge Road, according to County GIS data.
Hodge Road Property 13
The Hodge Road property is located in the Foliated to Massive Granitic Rock in Intrusive Rocks
of the Raleigh Belt Group, undivided, within the piedmont physiographic region (NCDENR
1985). The project study area is located in the Neuse River Basin.
The original site conditions contained two abandoned single family residences with several
small out buildings associated with past farming activities. The site is currently partially -
developed with warehouses, and the remainder a mixture of undeveloped, sparse wooded areas
and formerly cultivated fields. Most of the cultivated fields are within the western and northern
portions of the site, while the mostly wooded areas are in the eastern portion of the site. The
sparse mixture of vegetation was a result of the original land owner timbering the site many
years ago. A stream subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer rules runs west to east was
delineated north of the site. Jurisdictional wetlands have been delineated and filed confirmed
by the Corps' in the interior of the site and adjacent to the buffered stream. The site is located
in the Lower Neuse River Watershed and Upper Neuse River Basin. The site does not contain
floodplain per the most recent FIRM map dated 2006. The current conditions contain a 150,000
sf warehouse building, associated parking and truck court, public infrastructure (spine road,
water, sewer, and storm drainage), a poured concrete pad and steel superstructure for Building
# 2, interior and perimeter landscaping, and a stormwater control measure.
4.2 Soils
The Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina (USDA 1970) (Figure 10 in Appendix A) depicts the
following soil mapping units within the study area: Vance sandy loam (2 to 6 percent slopes, eroded),
Durham sandy loam (2 to 6 percent slopes), Colfax sandy loam, Creedmoor sandy loam (10 to 20 percent
slopes), Appling sandy loam (6 to 10 percent slopes, eroded), Appling fine sandy loam (2 to 6 percent
slopes) and Mantachie soils. These are combined into the Appling-Durham soil association, which is
comprised of gently sloping to sloping, deep, well drained soils that have a subsoil of friable sandy clay
loam to firm clay; derived mostly of granite, gneiss, and schist.
4.3 Water Resources
The project study area is in subbasin 05 of the Neuse River Basin and is located in USGS hydrologic
unit 03020201 (USDA 2012, NCDWR 2010). The project site is subject to the Neuse River buffer
regulations. The Neuse River buffer rules do not allow vegetation removal within 30 feet of perennial
or intermittent streams and do not allow most permanent building structures within 50 feet of perennial
or intermittent streams that are depicted on the most recent version of the USGS quadrangle map (Figure
9 in Appendix A) or on the Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) county soils map for Wake
County (Figure 10 in Appendix A). One stream channel is mapped within the study area on either
USGS or NRCS mapping. The stream channel is subject to the Neuse River buffer rules.
A Best Usage Classification ("BUC") is assigned to waters of North Carolina based on the existing or
contemplated best usage of various bodies of water. There is one jurisdictional stream channel within
the project study area. The jurisdictional stream in the study area is an unnamed tributary to the Neuse
River. The unnamed stream on the subject property has a BUC of C;NSW. The supplemental
classification C designates aquatic life, secondary recreation and fresh water. The supplemental
Hodge Road Property 14
classification NSW designates Nutrient Sensitive Waters which require limitations on nutrient inputs.
NC DWR confirmation of buffer applicability is included in Appendix E.
4.4 Wetlands
Eleven wetland units were identified onsite prior to development that are subject to Section 404
jurisdiction, pursuant to the USACE Jurisdictional Determination from October 2014. The wetlands
within the project study area are characterized as a complex of Piedmont Bottomland Forests and
Headwater Forests per the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM). NC WAM data is
included in Appendix F.
4.5 Threatened and Endangered Species
Species with the federal classifications of Endangered (E), or Threatened (T), are protected under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 etseq.). Five (5) species are listed
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as having a range that is considered to extend into Wake
County (list date 4/2/2015) (USFWS 2013): bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), northern long-eared
bat (Myotis septentrionalis), red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel
(Alasmidonta heterodon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii).
Bald eagle — Bald eagles typically nest in tall, living trees in a conspicuous location near water and
forage over large bodies of water with adjacent trees available for perching. Bald eagles typically feed
on fish but may also consume birds and small mammals. In the Carolinas, nesting season extends from
December through May.
The bald eagle was officially delisted and removed from the federal Endangered Species List on August
9, 2007, but they are still protected under the federal BGPA and the MBTA. The National Bald Eagle
Management Guidelines (Guidelines) prohibit disturbance to a bald eagle. The Guidelines define
disturb as "to agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle to a degree that causes, or is likely to cause, based
on the best scientific information available: 1) injury to an eagle; 2) a decrease in its productivity, by
substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior; or 3) nest abandonment,
by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior." The definition also
covers impacts that result from human -caused alterations initiated around a previously used nest site
during a time when eagles are not present, if, upon the eagles return, such alterations agitate or bother
an eagle to a degree that injures an eagle or interferes with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering
behavior.
Under the current Guidelines, USFWS recommends the following measures for roads, trails, canals,
power lines, and other linear utilities. If the eagle nest can be seen from the project site and there is no
similar activity within 660 feet, then USFWS recommends that the project: 1) maintain a buffer of at
least 660 feet between your activities and the nest; 2) maintain any established landscape buffers; and
3) if possible, create additional landscape buffers to screen the new activity from the nest. If these
recommendations cannot be adopted for the project, then coordination is recommended with the local
USFWS office (USFWS 2007).
Hodge Road Property 15
Habitat Present: No
The study area does not include any large open water habitat that would provide nesting or foraging
opportunities. The proposed project will have no effect on this species. A review of NCNHP records,
updated October 2015, indicates no known occurrence of bald eagle within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Northern long-eared bat — In North Carolina, the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the
mountains, with scattered records in the Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North Carolina, NLEB
spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. Since this species is not known to be a long-distance
migrant and caves and subterranean mines are extremely rare in eastern North Carolina, it is uncertain
whether or where NLEB hibernate in eastern North Carolina. During the summer, NLEB roost singly
or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dean trees (typically >3 inches
dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost in structures like barns and sheds, under eaves
of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested
hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over forest clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors.
Mature forests may be an important habitat type for foraging (USFWS 2014).
Habitat Present: No
Potential summer roosting habitat in the form of hardwood trees greater than 3 inches dbh does not exist
within the study area. A review of NCNBP records, updated October 2015, indicates no known
occurrence of northern long-eared bat within 1.0 mile of the study area. Based on the USFWS Key to
the NLEB 4(d) Rule for Non -Federal Activities, this project should be exempt from USFWS
Consultation.
Biological Conclusion: No Affect
Red -cockaded woodpecker — The red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW) typically occupies open, mature
stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine, for foraging and nesting/roosting habitat. The RCW
excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in living pine trees, aged 60 years or older, which are
contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age to provide foraging habitat. The foraging range of
the RCW is normally no more than 0.5 mile (USFWS 2003).
Habitat Present: No
Suitable foraging and/or nesting habitat for the RCW does not exist within the study area. The study
area lacks the open mature pine dominated community habitat associated with nesting for this species
and lacks pine stands greater than 30 years old required for foraging. A review of NCNHP records,
updated October 2015, indicates no known occurrence of RCW within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Dwarf wedgemussel — The dwarf wedgemussel is typically 1.5 inches in length or smaller with a brown
or yellowish brown outer surface. This mussel species typically inhabits streams with moderate flow
velocities and substrates varying in texture from gravel to coarse sand to mud with little silt deposition
(USFWS 1993a).
Hodge Road Property 16
Habitat Present: No
Suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel is not present within the project study area. A review of
NCNHP records, updated October 2015, indicates no known occurrence of dwarf wedgemussel within
1.0 mile of the project study area.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Michaux's sumac — Michaux's sumac, endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont, grows
in sandy or rocky, open, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral, well -drained soils or sandy loam soils
with low cation exchange capacities. The species is also found on sandy or submesic loamy swales and
depressions in the fall line Sandhills region as well as in openings along the rim of Carolina bays;
maintained railroad, roadside, powerline, and utility rights-of-way; areas where forest canopies have
been opened up by blowdowns and/or storm damage; small wildlife food plots; abandoned building
sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood canopies; and in and along edges of other
artificially maintained clearings undergoing natural succession. In the central Piedmont, it occurs on
clayey soils derived from mafic rocks. The plant is shade intolerant and, therefore, grows best where
disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic fire) maintains its open habitat (USFWS 1993b).
Habitat Present: No
Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is not present within the study area.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
4.6 Cultural Resources
The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or artifact
deposits over 50 years old. "Significant" cultural resources are those sites that are eligible or potentially
eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations for cultural resources are
required whenever a Section 404 permit application is submitted to USACE. Evaluations of site
significance are made with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register (33 CFR 60) and
in consultation with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO).
In June 2017, ESI consulted with the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and the Survey
and Planning Branch (S&P) of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) regarding
this project study area. Research revealed that no previously recorded archaeological sites are located
within or adjacent to the proposed project study area, and no properties listed in or eligible for listing in
the National Register of Historic Places are located within the project site. The OSA and the SHPO
provided a written response in June 2017 indicating that there are no records of any significant cultural
resource issues with the project study area (copy included as Appendix Q.
5.0 SECTION 404 IMPACTS AND PERMITTING
Section 404 of the CWA requires regulation of discharges into "Waters of the United States". Although
the principal administrative agency of the CWA is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
the ACOE has major responsibility for implementation, permitting, and enforcement of provisions of
the Act. The ACOE regulatory program is defined in 33 CFR 320-330. Water bodies such as rivers,
lakes, and streams are subject to jurisdictional consideration under the Section 404 program. However,
by regulation, wetlands are also considered "Waters of the United States".
Hodge Road Property 17
5.1 Proposed Stream Impacts
No impacts to streams are proposed for this project.
5.1.1 Avoidance and Minimization of Stream Impacts
The site plan layout was configured in a way to avoid impacting the stream and stream
buffer on the northeastern portion of the property.
5.2 Proposed Wetland Impacts
1.658 acres of impacts to Section 404 wetlands will result from this commercial development action.
These impacts will occur where building 5, building 2 and their associated roads and parking spaces are
located on the Sketch Plan (Figure 4). Material to fill the wetlands will contain an initial layer of onsite
material followed by aggregate and topped with asphalt or portland cement concrete.
5.2.1 Avoidance and Minimization of Wetland Impacts
The proposed wetland impacts are minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Specific
wetland avoidance and minimization considerations include:
• Choosing a project site location with minimal amount of wetlands.
• Completely avoiding the wetlands on the northeastern portion of the property
during the design of the site layout.
• Abandonment of the off-site sewer installation will avoid 0.23 acres of wetland
impacts and 40 linear feet of stream impact.
5.3 Proposed Riparian Buffer Impacts
The previous authorizations and proffered mitigation allowed 1,343 s.f. (0.031 acres) of impacts to
Neuse River Riparian Buffers as a result of the installation of the sanitary sewer line in the southeast
corner of the project. This impact is no longer necessary for this commercial development action.
5.3.1 Avoidance and Minimization of Riparian Buffer Impacts
The riparian buffer will not be impacted due to this proposed project. Specific riparian
buffer avoidance and minimization considerations include:
• The site plan layout was configured in a way as to avoid impacting the stream
segment and the stream buffer impacts in the northeastern portion of the
property through the use of retaining walls. Please refer to the revised site plan
that was e-mailed to Sue Homewood (NCDWR) on February 13, 2018 and put
into the project file.

Wetland C2 and C3 were authorized under the NWP (Action ID: 2014-02127) and have been filled.
The remaining wetlands would be impacted by the proposed project but have not been permitted at this
time.
5.4 Compensatory Mitigation
Scannell Development Company will purchase available mitigation credits from private mitigation
banks and will satisfy the remainder of the necessary mitigation through the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services (NCDMS). Proposed mitigation ratios are included in Table 2. The project has
already mitigated for 0.465 acres of impacted wetlands via the original NWP. The remaining 1.193
acres of impacted wetlands will be offset by the purchase of wetland mitigation credits from Restoration
Systems, LLC.

5.6 Cumulative and Secondary Impacts
The distribution center will increase traffic. The proposed development is projected to generate 300
trips (237 entering, 63 exiting) occurring in the AM peak hour and 320 trips (80 entering, 240 exiting)
in the PM peak hour. The project will not generate noise pollution outside the allowable limit. The
project will not generate air pollutants through the use of emission stacks or vents, though, there will be
some increase in the level of air pollution due to mobile sources such as cars and trucks.
The project will not generate any light pollution that encroaches onto surrounding properties. Chapter
11 titled Lighting located in the Town of Knightdale's UDO is very specific. This Chapter defines
practical and effective measures by which the obtrusive aspects of outdoor light usage may be reduced;
while preserving safety, security, and the nighttime use and enjoyment of property. This section of the
ordinance are intended to: curtail the degradation of the nighttime visual environment; reduce light
trespass and glare by encouraging lighting practices that direct appropriate amounts of light where and
when it is needed and prohibiting the use of poorly shielded or inappropriately directed lighting fixtures;
and reduce energy waste by increasing the use of energy-efficient sources.

RE: Hodge Road Business Park
Dear Dalton Cook:
NCNHDE-3767
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler(a)ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Hello Dalton,
2309 Hodge Road in Knightdale does not appear to have been listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. At this time, the property has not been surveyed by our office or entered
into our database.
That said, depending on what you are using this information for, you may want to consult
with someone at the Office of State Archaeology to see if this site has been identified by
them for some reason.
