CREED McKim & Creed, P.A. 5625 Dillard Road, Suite 117 Cary, NC 27511 (919)233-8091 Introduction The purpose of this project is to construct a large industrial building which will be a connection to the existing laboratory building. This project has impacted existing wetlands and as a condition to the December 6, 2000 approval from DWQ (DWQ Project # 001293) a Best Management Practice (BMP) pond is proposed to remove 85% of the TSS. This narrative and calculations, and plans support the design of the BMP pond and associated erosion control measures. Site Description The site is located in Sanford, North Carolina at the Wyeth-Lederle Vaccine Laboratories. The existing site is heavily wooded with wetlands nearly bisecting the proposed site. The existing drainage pattern for the site is to the south and western portion of the site. At the downstream limit of the project is an existing pond and riser that will be replaced with a larger pond and new riser/barrel configuration. Erosion Control Measures Approximately 13 acres of land will be disturbed on this site for excavation of the building and parking lot. The natural drainage pattern for this site is for water to flow from northeast to southwest, towards the existing detention pond. Existing wetlands on site are in the process of being permitted for filling. Erosion control measures will keep all sediment and silt out of the existing wetlands located downstream of the existing (and proposed) pond. This will be done through the use of a construction entrance, silt fences, proposed BMP pond, and tree protection fencing. These measures have been designed to maintain this flow pattern during construction to prevent sediment from affecting the adjoining lands and the existing wetlands. A BMP pond is proposed downstream of the access road that will include erosion control measures to clean water in the vicinity of the pond. This pond will enlarge the existing pond to accept the first inch of rainfall that falls within the drainage area. In addition, silt fence is proposed around the perimeter of the pond (for areas not draining to the pond). Design Requirements The following design requirements (taken from the NCDENR Stormwater Best Management Practices manual, dated April 1999) were used to size the proposed BMP pond: • Permanent Pool- Table 1.1 using a pond depth of 4 feet, and a 70% impervious; with an assumed buildout of the site • Forebay sized to approximately 20% of the permanent pool volume • Temporary pool volume sized for the 1 sc inch of rainfall (assuming a 70% imperviousness) • A 3 inch orifice was selected to detain the temporary volume for 2-5 days • A berm was added to the center of the pond to achieve the 3:1 length to width ratio • An emergency drain added to allow for draining of pond CALCULATION PROJECT ?A1 ?e Ilnr l ?6S PROJ.

Basin shape should minimize dead storage areas and short circuiting. Length to width ratios should be 3° 1 or greater. (Barfield, et al., 1981, pp. 426-429; Florida DEP, 1982, pg. 6-289). b. If the basin is used as a sediment trap during construction, all sediment deposited during construction must be removed before normal operation begins. C. Aquatic vegetation.should be included for a wetland type detention basin (Maryland DNR, March 1987; Schueler, 1987, Chapter 4 and 9). A minimum ten foot wide shallow sloped shelf is needed at the edge of the basin for safety and to provide appropriate conditions for aquatic vegetation (Schueler, 1987). This shelf should be sloped 6:1 or flatter and extend to a depth of 2 feet below the surface of the permanent pool (Shaver and Maxted, DNREC, 1994). A list of suitable wetland species and propagation techniques are provided in Schueler (1987) and Maryland DNR (1987). d. An emergency drain (with a pipe sized to drain the pond in less than 24 hours) should be installed in all ponds to allow access for riser repairs and sediment removal. (Schueler, 1987).

WYETH-LEDERLE VACCINES SEDIMENT/ EROSION CONTROL & BMP POND DESIGN SUBMITTAL Prepared For: NCDENR-Land Quality Section December 2000 °°°tett+oaz 8LQ ?s?? lQjr °•r**topse6(1 44 ? f??»trt?uttt°?° ?MCKA4&CREED McKim & Creed, P.A. 5625 Dillard Road, Suite 117 Cary, NC 27511 (919)233-8091 Introduction The purpose of this project is to construct a large industrial building which will be a connection to the existing laboratory building. This project has impacted existing wetlands and as a condition to the December 6, 2000 approval from DWQ (DWQ Project # 001293) a Best Management Practice (BMP) pond is proposed to remove 85% of the TSS. This narrative and calculations, and plans support the design of the BMP pond and associated erosion control measures. Site Description The site is located in Sanford, North Carolina at the Wyeth-Lederle Vaccine Laboratories. The existing site is heavily wooded with wetlands nearly bisecting the proposed site. The existing drainage pattern for the site is to the south and western portion of the site. At the downstream limit of the project is an existing pond and riser that will be replaced with a larger pond and new riser/barrel configuration. Erosion Control Measures Approximately 13 acres of land will be disturbed on this site for excavation of the building and parking lot. The natural drainage pattern for this site is for water to flow from northeast to southwest, towards the existing detention pond. Existing wetlands on site are in the process of being permitted for filling. Erosion control measures will keep all sediment and silt out of the existing wetlands located downstream of the existing (and proposed) pond. This will be done through the use of a construction entrance, silt fences, proposed BMP pond, and tree protection fencing. These measures have been designed to maintain this flow pattern during construction to prevent sediment from affecting the adjoining lands and the existing wetlands. A BMP pond is proposed downstream of the access road that will include erosion control measures to clean water in the vicinity of the pond. This pond will enlarge the existing pond to accept the first inch of rainfall that falls within the drainage area. In addition, silt fence is proposed around the perimeter of the pond (for areas not draining to the pond). Design Requirements The following design requirements (taken from the NCDENR Stormwater Best Management Practices manual, dated April 1999) were used to size the proposed BMP pond: • Permanent Pool- Table 1.1 using a pond depth of 4 feet, and a 70% impervious; with an assumed buildout of the site • Forebay sized to approximately 20% of the permanent pool volume • Temporary pool volume sized for the 1$` inch of rainfall (assuming a 70% imperviousness) • A 3 inch orifice was selected to detain the temporary volume for 2-5 days • A berm was added to the center of the pond to achieve the 3:1 length to width ratio • An emergency drain added to allow for draining of pond Pond Design CALCULATION PROJECT _ W,, d, Lk PROJ.

(Barfield, et al., 1981, pp. 426-429; Florida DEP, 1982, pg. 6-289). b. If the basin is used as a sediment trap during construction, all sediment deposited during construction must be removed before normal operation begins. c. Aquatic vegetation should be included for a wetland type detention basin (Maryland DNR, March 1987; Schueler, 1987, Chapter 4 and 9). A minimum ten foot wide shallow sloped shelf is needed at the edge of the basin for safety and to provide appropriate conditions for aquatic vegetation (Schueler, 1987). This shelf should be sloped 6:1 or flatter and extend to a depth of 2 feet below the surface of the permanent pool (Shaver and Maxted, DNREC, 1994). A list of suitable wetland species and propagation techniques are provided in Schueler (1987) and Maryland DNR (1987). d. An emergency drain (with a pipe sized to drain the pond in less than 24 hours) should be installed in all ponds to allow access for riser repairs and sediment removal. (Schueler, 1987).

After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3287. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Water shed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified below. 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 wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. 1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and streams to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). 2. An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved by this Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities, as approved by this Office, shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan, as approved by this Office, shall be implemented. 3. The stormwater from the road crossing shall either be directed through the stormwater pond or designed to sheetflow at non-erosive velocities across the stream buffers before reaching the stream. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 1508 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing. This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-9646. 4elinc?yjtevens Attachment cc: Corps of Engineers Raleigh Field Office Raleigh DWQ Regional Office File copy Central Files Todd St. John Jennifer Burdette; Soil & Environmental Consultants .

The project site drains to Little Buffalo Creek (Stream Index Number 17-42), which is classified as a WS-IV water. The immediate project site consists of approximately 15 acres and is located adjacent to U.S. 1 and is approximately 2.3 north of the Sanford City Limits, Sanford, Lee County, North Carolina (see enclosed USGS map). This site is located within the Cape Fear River Basin USGS Cataloging Unit 03030003. Wyeth-Lederle Vaccines (WLV) is proposing to expand current manufacturing facilities within the existing property boundaries. The proposed expansion will result in the fill of approximately 0.406 acres of wetlands and 0 linear feet of stream channel. This wetland feature was delineated and flagged by S&EC staff August 31, 2000. A digital file and an unsigned paper copy of the wetland delineation are enclosed (USACE copy only). A mylar and paper copy of the wetland delineation signed by a registered professional surveyor will be sent under a separate cover. Two data forms completed for the delineation are attached (USACE copy only). We request verification of the wetland delineation by conducting a site meeting or an office determination whichever is most convenient. A wetland delineation was previously completed for the entire property by Law Engineering early 1993 and reviewed by Ms. Jean B. Manuele of the Raleigh U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Regulatory Office (Action ID 199301621). Alternative locations for the placement of the proposed facilities were investigated. But it was determined that the proposed expansion placement is constrained within the existing property boundaries. Two large existing buildings on-site eliminate the possibility of avoiding wetland impacts on-site and relocating the facilities to another site will reduce manufacturing proficiency and create personnel transportation problems. Shifting the proposed building facilities to the southwest of the proposed site would result in the impact of larger wetland areas located below headwaters. Other site limitations include the existing location of the Norfolk-Southern Railroad and U.S. 1 rights-of-way that bound the site to the north and southeast, respectively. Total impact resulting from the proposed expansion will be 0.406 acres of headwater wetland and 0 linear feet of stream channel. The USGS does not identify any stream channels (intermittent or perennial) within the project site. During the alternatives investigation, it was determined that the proposed building expansion must be tied to the existing facilities in order to satisfy the manufacturing process, maintain a clean atmosphere, and provide a central gown/de-gown area. The only adjacent areas to the existing facilities consist of the Little Buffalo Creek floodplain and the area of the proposed building expansion. Wetland Delineation/Permitting/Mitigation Soil/Site Evaluations On-Site Septic Systems Environmental Assessments/Audits Neuse Basin and Watershed Buffer Evaluations Groundwater Hydrology Endangered Species Western Branch Offices: (828) 635-5820 • (828) 312-7902 • (704) 516-3922 The proposed building expansion area was chosen in order to avoid potential wetland impacts to the more valuable bottomland hardwood wetlands associated with Little Buffalo Creek, which is also highly likely to be located within the 100-year floodplain. It is important to note that WLV does not have any previous permits associated with the subject property. However, the City of Sanford constructed a state road across Little Buffalo Creek in the early 1990s. Recently this ownership of this road was transferred to WLV due to the company's security concerns. We were unable to determine ascertain the details of the road crossing from the City of Sanford, but believe it was designed to impact less than 1/3 acre based on documentation of pre-construction consultation. The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and requires compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the requirements for notification (0.10 acre). It is S&EC's professional opinion that impacts to wetlands and surface waters have been minimized as much as is practical considering the sites constraints in order to provide additional manufacturing facilities on-site. The applicant proposes to establish a 50-foot-wide vegetative buffer along Little Buffalo Creek and to construct a water quality pond to treat stormwater from the proposed building expansion area for mitigation to offset the unavoidable losses of waters of the US. A conceptual design has been completed to ensure area is available for construction of the water quality pond. The pond will be designed to achieve 85% pollutant removal as per the DWQ Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. McKim & Creed are performing the necessary calculations to finalize the water quality pond design, which will be submitted to DWQ upon completion. Based on the proposed mitigation described above, S&EC believes the USACE should not require mitigation. NC-DWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for wetland and stream channel impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet, respectively. Because the proposed cumulative impacts resulting from the project, which include less than or equal to 0.33 acre for the previous road crossing (if the USACE determines that these impacts are cumulative) and 0.406 acre for the proposed building expansion for a total of 0.736 acre, do not exceed the aforementioned thresholds, S&EC believes that wetland or stream channel mitigation should not be required.

Pender, Piedmont Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: 7 November 2000 SUBJECT: Pre-construction Notification Application for Wyeth-Lederle Vaccine, Lee County, North Carolina. Action ID: 200120046 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject pre-construction notification. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). Applicant proposes to impact 0.406 acres wetlands for constructing additional manufacturing facilities on a 15-acre portion of the property. The project site is located on 105 acres of which 17.3 acres are wetlands. The site is drained by Little Buffalo Creek, which flows into the Deep River. There are records for the federally endangered Cape fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas) in the Deep River. We recommend that the following conditions be incorporated into the permit to reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources. 1. Require all remaining wetlands on the site to be protected from additional impacts by placing them in a permanent conservation easement to prohibit filling, draining, flooding, and excavation. 2. A minimum 50-foot undisturbed, forested buffer should be maintained along all intermittent streams and wetland areas, while a minimum 100-foot undisturbed, forested buffer should be maintained along all perennial streams within the project area. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will minimize impacts to fish and wildlife resources, water quality, aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area, and to help prevent the extirpation of endangered and threatened species.
