Re: Sandy Springs Planned Development, Fuquay-Varina, NC
Dept. of the Army Action ID 199201202
NC D.E.M. Project # 92070
Dear Mr. Franklin,
41992
The enclosed application documents, prepared by Little & Little on behalf of
the Westminster Company, PO Box 518, Cary, NC 27512, request Section 404
Nationwide 14 and 26 and Section 401 Water Quality permitting for the
referenced project.
Currently a Nationwide 26 permit and 401 Water Quality Certification are
approved for 0.82 acres of wetlands within the initial phases of this project.
We are currently requesting approvals for filling of approximately 0.607 acres
of wetlands within Phases 4-8 of the project.
A Nationwide 14 permit is requested for 0.331 acres of fill in Phases 6-7. A
Nationwide 26 permit is requested for 0.276 acres of fill in Attached Housing
Phase 5 and in Phase 8. All of the areas for which permitting is currently
being requested are required for road access to upland development areas.
Approval will allow completion of the entire Sandy Springs development
with no further disturbance of existing wetland areas.
In a meeting on August 11 with John Dorney, Ron Ferrell, and Karl Shaffer of
the Water Quality Section of the NC E.H.N.R. Division of Environmental
Management, no objections were raised to the proposed permit request.
Please contact me if you require additional information or have any questions.

Dear Ms. Gantt,
Little & Little, on behalf of the Westminster Company, (PO Box 518, Cary, NC
27512), is applying for Nationwide Permitting for filling of approximately 0.61
acres of wetlands, for road crossings, at Phases 4-8 of the Sandy Springs Planned
Development, located in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. These areas are in
addition to 0.82 acres of wetlands previously permitted for the initial phases of
this project. Your office was notified by us on February 18, 1992, regarding the
original work.
Based on field investigations, we believe that there are no endangered or
threatened plant or animal species on the affected site, or on adjacent wetland
areas.
For your convenience, I am enclosing copies of the application documents that
are being submitted to the Wilmington, NC District of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and to the Water Quality Section of the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management.
If you require any additional information, or want to arrange a site visit, please
contact me.

Please excuse this form. We thought you would prefer a speedy reply to a

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concerning Federally-listed endangered

Date
Based on our records, there are no Federally-listed endangered or
threatened species which may occur within the project impact area.
The attached page(s) list(s) the Federally-listed species which
may occur within the project impact area.
If the proposed project will be removing pines greater than or equal
to 30 years of age in pine or pine/hardwood habitat, surveys should
be conducted for active red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees in
appropriate-habitat within a 1/2 mile radius of project boundaries.
If red-cockaded woodpeckers are observed within the project area or
active cavity trees found, the project has the potential to
adversely-affect the red-cockaded woodpecker, and you should contact
this office for further information.
The Service concurs that the proposed project is not likely to
adversely affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species,
their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently
proposed for Federal listing under the Endangered Species Act, as
amended.
Staffing limitations prevent us from conducting a field inspection
of the project site. Therefore, we are unable to provide you with
site specific recommendations at this time.
Questions regarding the enclosed information should be directed to the Corps
of Engineers' regulatory staff member who is handling this roject.

Dear Mr. Michaels:
Reference the application of August 12, 1992, submitted on your behalf by
Little and Little, for Department of the Army authorization to discharge fill
material within waters of the United States, causing the loss of 0.607 acre of
wetlands adjacent to, and above the headwaters of, unnamed tributaries to
Basal Creek. The proposed work is for construction of access roads for upland.
development of Phases 4 through 8 of Sandy Springs Development, in Fuquay-
Varina, Wake County, North Carolina. Reference is made to our letters of
July 2, 1992, and May 21, 1987, authorizing the loss of a total of 0.82 acre
of waters of the United States for previous fills for Sandy Springs, Phases 1
through 3.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads
crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special
aquatic sites) provided:
t4d a t
-2-
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
C. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general
condition.
Your work (0.331 acre under Nationwide Permit Number 14, and 1.1 acre
[total for project) under Nationwide Permit 26) is authorized by these
nationwide permits provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the
enclosed conditions. These nationwide permits do not relieve you of the
responsibility to obtain any required State or local approval. You should
contact Mr. John Dorney of the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management at [phone] regarding a State Water Quality Certification.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
