Richardson Road Extension from Humie Olive Road to Old US 1 in Apex, NC
Cumulative Impacts Discussion from Section G(2) of the online PCN Application
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) has defined this Town of Apex road project as a
single and complete project during pre-application consultations. The road proposed under this
application is the initial phase of a project that has been identified as a critical connection on the
Town's transportation plan since 2001. Although full funding is not in place; the initial portion
of this road from the Humie Olive Road tie in can be constructed upon permit issuance. This
section does not incur any wetland, stream or buffer impacts. As with any new road project, the
resulting road itself provides new ingress and egress opportunities for properties that abut the
new corridor. Any of those privately held properties may choose to improve their land based on
the road. As such, any required environmental documentation, including permitting and
mitigation to develop said private property, becomes the responsibility of that particular property
owner and is not the responsibility of the Town of Apex. Currently, there is not practical way to
quantify any potential impacts resulting from future development. It is accurate to say that this
area is experiencing growth and future development is likely. Any such development will be
subject to all federal, state and local environmental regulations in place at that time.
