Dear Ms. Jones and Mr. Dorney: '
On behalf of Glen Laurel Limited Partnership, we reque io • m the US Army
The purpose of the proposed project is to provi and sanitary sewe service for Phase
12B of Glen Laurel, a residential subdivision an olf cour P e 12B consists of 451ots and
a central entrance road that connects Vinson Road and Neuse Ridge Drive. The existing
Parkridge Drive and a cul-de-sac will also be tied into the proposed extension of Neuse Ridge
Drive. Glen Laurel Phase 12B is located on the north side of Vinson Road approximately 4000
feet east of its intersection with Glen Laurel Road. Please refer to Figure 1 of the PCN for the
location of the proposed project on a USGS topographic quadrangle.
Corps of Engineers (USAGE) to use Nationwide Permits WP) 1 d 39 or the proposed
project to cover temporary and permanent impacts to a stream c el an wetlands. We also
request written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) that the project
complies with the associated 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Basin (NRB)
Buffer Rules. APre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an
agent authorization form.

The proposed access road crosses a buffered, intermittent stream channel and its associated
wetlands. The proposed sanitary sewer also crosses the stream channel and wetlands as shown
on the Impact Maps attached to the PCN. The impact tables in the PCN itemize the impacts
associated with each crossing. The total o sed ' pact to wetlands is 0.,20 acre (permanent -
0.14 acre/temporary 0.06 acre), and 451inear feet f stream channel will~6e permane~-
impacted. An additiona120 feet o stream channel will be temporarily impacted by the proposed
project. ___------------_-"_ -_-_----
It should be noted that Phase 12B is part of the Glen Laurel subdivision. NWPs 14 and 26 were
requested for the entire development in December of 1992 and approvals were- issued in January
of 993.bv thelISAC~(.~ction ID# 1991012851 and NCDWQ (DEM Project #: 92745). The
_----
YVWP 26 that was issued covered 3.68 acres and NWP 14 covered 0.65 acre. As the impacts
permitted for Phase 11 and 12 were not completed, the revised cumulative impact totals are 3.60
acres under NWP 26 and 0.41 acre under NWP 14. S&EC re-delineated the wetlands present
within Phase 12B in March 2000. Data forms completed for this delineation are attac _--~
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and. minimize wetland and stream
channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to offset
unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the thresholds for notification (0.10
acre) or if a discharge causes the loss of any open waters. The road crossing is necessary to
provide for safe ingress and egress of the future residents of Phase 12B and the surrounding,
existing residents. Because the applicant minimize the proposed impacts by aligning the road to
cross the stream perpendicularly and at the narrowest point of the wetland area and proposes to
maintain riparian buffers in accordance with the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule although it is
not required because the subdivision meets the requirements to be vested from the buffer rules,
S&EC does not believe further compensation should be required by the USACE. As discussed
in the Prior Project History section, it should also be noted that the cumulative impacts of the
subdivision have been reduced from the original application approved in 1993.
NCDWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for stream channel impacts below 150
linear feet per tn'butary and wetlands impacts below 1/3 acre under NWP 39. Because e
prop p ent impact to the stream channel (1451.f.) and wetlands 0.14 acre is below the
aforementioned threshold, S&EC believes that mit~ation by the NCDWQ for the WQC should ~j ~
not b_~=eTui_red. Although the cumulative unpacts for the entue subdivision exceeds the
NCDWQ thresholds, these thresholds were not yet established at the time of the original permit
application. Furthermore, detention ponds were constructed as mitigation for the original permit
application that included the impacts proposed herein. Therefore, S&EC does not believe that
additional mitigation should be required by NCDWQ for this phase of the project.
The proposed access road crosses an intermittent stream channel that is subject to the NRB
riparian buffer rules. Please refer to the "no practical alternative" letter prepared by Mr. Daniel
Blackburn, which explains the site constraints that dictate the alignment of the proposed access

road and sanitary sewer crossings. It should be noted that the sanitary sewer crossings qualify as
exempt and do not actually require documentation of no practical alternative.
Because proposed road crossing is perpendicular that impacts less than 1/3 acre and 150 linear
feet of riparian buffer (0.26 acre/145 l.f.), the activity qualifies as an allowable activity, which
does not require mitigation. The two proposed sanitary sewer crossings are perpendicular to the
section of stream channel to be crossed and are less than 40 feet in width. Therefore, these
crossings qualify as exempt activities in the buffer rules and would also not require mitigation.
A self-addressed stamped envelope is enclosed for I~TCDWQ's use in copying S&EC, as the
authorized agent for the applicant, with any response provided to the applicant.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
fmancial viability of the project. 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.
The proposed road crossine is required to provide safe inures and euress for the residents of
Phase 12B and the nearby existing development. As discussed in the Prior Project History
section. Phase 12B was part of the original development plan that was permitted in 1993. The
permanent impacts Qroposed for Phase 12B at that time totaled 0 19 acre The applicant has
minimized the permanent impacts of this phase to 0.14 acre by aligning the road crossmg. to be
Page 7 of 13

perpendicular shifting the alignment to a narrower point of the wetlands, and eliminating the
driveway impact proposed in the original permit. Please refer to the attached letter by the proiect
engineer Mr Daniel Blackburn for more information regarding the necessity and no practical
alternatives discussion of the road crossing and the sanitary sewer alignment.
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 March 9, 2000, 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
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 NCWRP 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 .
1. 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.
The current USACE poliorequires compensatory mitigation when the proposed impacts
cause the loss of greater than 0.10 acre of waters of the US, including wetlands, or the loss of
an,~pen waters. Because the applicant minimized the proposed impacts by aligning the
road to cross the stream perpendicularly and at the narrowest point of the wetland area and
proposes to maintain riparian buffers in accordance with the Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Rule althou~~i it is not required because the subdivision meets the requirements to be vested
from the buffer rules S&EC does not believe further compensation should be required by the
USACE As discussed in the Prior Project History section, it should also be noted that the
Page 8 of 13

cumulative impacts of the subdivision have been reduced from the original application
approved in 1993.
The current NCDWO~..policy requires compensator.,y mitigation when the ,proposed impacts
exceed 150 lineaz feet of stream channel or 1/3 acre of wetlands. The proposed Phase 12B
will impact permanently 145 linear feet of stream channel and 0.13 of wetlands (excluding
the stream channel) and does not exceed the aforementioned NCDWO thresholds. Although
the cumulative impacts for the entire subdivision exceeds the NCDWO thresholds, these
thresholds were not yet established at the time of the original permit application.
Furthermore detention ponds were constructed as mitigation for the original permit
~~lication that included the impacts proposed herein Therefore S&EC does not believe
that additional mitigation should be re,~uired by NCDWO for this phase of the project
The_proposed road and sanitary sewer cross a buffered stream channel As indicated above
the Glen Laurel subdivision qualifies for vesting from the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules
because 404/401 permits were issued for the proiect prior to the implementatiop of the buffer
rules in 1997 However the applicant chooses to adhere to the buffer rules vohmtarily. The
proposed road crossing; is perpendicular and does not impact greater than 150 lin~az feet or
1/3 acre of riparian buffer Please refer to the letter by Mr Daniel Blackburn regard'~the
necessity and no practical alternative discussion of the road crossing. Therefore, the
proposed road crossing qualifies as an allowable activity in the buffer rules. The proposed
sanitarysewer crossuigs are perpendicular with the section of stream channel being crossed
and are Iess than 40 feet wide Therefore the proposed sanitary sewer crossings qualify as
exempt activities under the buffer rules and should not require mitigation by NCDWO.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at htro://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (squaze feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)

It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ® No ^ If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* (s u~arpe feet) Multiplier ~~~~~
Road Crossing Buffer Impact # 1

2 4,102 1.5 NA
Total 11,222 (0.26 ac) NA
' Zone 1 extends out 3U feet perpendicular from near frank of channel; Gone L extents an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.

Yes ^ No
Isthis anafter-the-fact permit application?
Yes ^ No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

RE: Glen Laurel Subdivision Phase 12B
Neuse River Buffer and Wetland Impacts
To Whom It May Concern:
The Neuse River Riparian Buffer and wetlands impacts for this project were
minimized as much as possible and still meet the constraints of existing facilities and
design standards for the Town of Clayton and the State of North Carolina. The impacts
are limited to the one road crossing and two areas of impact for sanitary sewer.
Neuse Ridge Drive Crossing
This crossing completes the planned connection to Vinson road to the south, and
tie to Parkridge drive coming in from the west. The road has been realigned from the
original master plan to cross the stream as perpendicular as possible and minimize the
impacts to the narrowest area of wetlands.
Sanitary Sewer line Impacts
The sanitary sewer in this phase will discharge to an existing manhole
downstream along the buffer. The stream crossing is as close to perpendicular as
possible. Anti seep collars will be used on all sewer lines to prevent drainage. The sewer
line is perpendicular to the road to allow upstream sewer to tie perpendicularly from
either direction. The sewer crosses a short portion of zone 1 just outside the road fill.
There is no practical alternative to this placement. If the manhole were moved further
away from the stream, it would lose the ability of perpendicular ties, which would create
adverse flow directions in the manhole. This condition is not acceptable by State
standards. This movement will also bring the manhole too high up the hill from the
culvert crossing. This would increase the depth of the manhole due to the culvert
crossing, and cause the outfall line to be below the minimum grade acceptable to the
state. The existing manhole and line had been installed years before the buffer rules were
in effect and had not been designed to avoid these crossings.
If you have additional questions or need any additional information, please give
me a call at 553-2900.
Sincerely,
Blackburn Consulting Engineering
