The impacts are limited to a sanitary sewer main line. The following information will outline the design process that lead to the current layout: Sanitary Sewer Line Impacts • The sewer line also had a fixed tie in point established by the Existing Sunset Ridge Sanitary Sewer Outfall. The sewer is gravity fed and is elevation dependent. The sewer line was placed as far up the creek bank as possible in an effort to minimize the impacts, however the farther the sewer is moved up the bank the deeper the trench excavation becomes. The deeper the trench the more impact there is due to the large slopes required. Again the sewer is gravity fed limiting the placement of the line. The sewer line impacts are only in Zone 2 of the buffer. If any additional information is needed with regard to the application or design, please contact Chris Allen at 919-881-0724.

Suite 120 Parkview Building Raleigh, NC 27615 Raleigh, NC 27604 RE: Nationwide Permit 39/401 Water Quality Certification Buffer Compliance Sunset Ridge North Phase 5C Holly Springs, NC Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Wade: On behalf of Sunset Forest, LLC (property owners), we hereby request authorization from the US Army Corp of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit number 39 to cover temporary impacts to perennial stream channel and one wetland area. We also request written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with the Nationwide Permit 39 and the Neuse River Buffer rules. A pre-construction Notification Application is attached. Sunset Ridge North is a residential subdivision that consists of four existing phases (1-4) and a one sub phase 5A. All of the work to date for this project in was done by S&EC. Most of the following information is correspondence that was made with them but which we have restated here to clearly show the history of the project. Based on a meeting with MS. Amanda Jones and S&EC, Sunset Ridge North Phase 1-4 and Phase 5 will be considered a single, complete project for cumulative impact purposes. Phase 5 will be deigned and built in three sub phases of which phase 5A was most recently approved. Sunset Ridge North Phase 5C is located on the North side of Holly Springs road (SR 1152), approximately 1/3 mile East of it's intersection with Bass Lake Road. The site can be accessed from Linksland Drive which is the main entrance to Sunset Ridge North. The entire area for Phase 5 is 96 acres. Please find the attached USGS topographic map for the location of the project. The proposed project consists of a residential subdivision. S&EC conducted a detailed wetland delineation in September 2000 and Ms. Jones issued a Jurisdictional Determination on August 6, 2002 (AID #200221313). Ms. Deborah Edwards conducted a site visit on February 1, 2002 and confirmed that features E and G are subject to the Buffers at the locations depicted on the overall site plans and that feature B is not subject to the buffer rules. The recent history of permits and jurisdictional determinations can be found in the attached PCN. The applicant proposes to impact an unnamed tributary to Middle Creek with a perpendicular sanitary sewer line crossing. This crossing will temporarily impact 20 feet of stream, 1748 s.f. of Zone 1 and 0.013 acres of wetlands. Also, the applicant proposes four parallel impacts to zone 2 of the Neuse Buffer, totaling 6,453 s.f are proposed. The applicant has performed a detailed delineation of the wetlands and waters of the U.S. on-site as to avoid any many impacts as possible. The proposed impacts (1-4) are for sanitary sewer line connection to an existing line and extending the sewer line to the proposed project. These impacts are necessitated by the severe changes in elevation and the fact that the sewer is gravity fed limiting the possibilities of relocating the sewer line out of the buffers completely. Impact #5 is a perpendicular crossing of the unnamed tributary to connect to the existing sewer on the other side. We believe this to be an exempt activity under the Neuse Buffer Rules and therefore should not require mitigation. In order to comply with the Neuse Buffer Rules with respect to discharge, level spreaders will be used to achieve diffuse flow into the buffer.

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 btip://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.htmI. 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. Because the total cumulative wetlands impact for the entire project are below DW 's 1 acre miti ation threshold 0.368 and because the im act is tem or wg believe that miti ation should not be re uired. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at Page 10 of 13 (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.usAm/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 (square feet): NA Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes [_1 No ? If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ? X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) 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 1:1 If you answered "es" ) y ,provide the following information: Page 11 of 13 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.

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. The topographical change within the site necessitates the 4 parallel impacts to Zone 2 of the buffer. The sewer line was laced as far u the creek bank as ossible in an effort to minimize the impacts. however the farther the sewer is moved up the bank the deeper the trench excavation becomes. The dee er the trench the more impact there is due to the lar a slo es re aired. Again the sewer is avit fed limiting the -placement of the line. The sewer line im acts are onl in Zone 2 of the buffer. Irn act 5 consists of a perpendicular sewer line crossin to connect the subdivision to the existing line of the other side of the unnamed t ibut to Middle Creek. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. The imperious area for the project is less than 30% Level spreaders will be used to achieve diffuse flow into Neuse River Buffers within Phase SC. Please see the attached Plans and calculations for the levels readers. In articular, storm feature #75 is a structure that will ass the 1 inch rainfall into the i e to structure 75A and then into the level s reader before it enters the wetlands. The larger storms will discharge from the to of structure 75 and b ass the level spreader. This is an area of existing concentrated flow and due to topographic constraints there is little o ortuni to break u the 1 e system to reduce the amount of water coming to one spot. We believe that this a roach meets the intent of the diffuse flow into the buffer. If more information is re uired lease call Chris Allen at 919-669-3635. Page 12 of 13 XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. Sanitary Sewer XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-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). 3/B,o Applicant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

We also request written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with the Nationwide Permit 39 and the Neuse River Buffer rules. A pre-construction Notification Application is attached. Sunset Ridge North is a residential subdivision that consists of four existing phases (1-4) and a one sub phase 5A. All of the work to date for this project in was done by S&EC. Most of the following information is correspondence that was made with them but which we have restated here to clearly show the history of the project. Based on a meeting with MS. Amanda Jones and S&EC, Sunset Ridge North Phase 1-4 and Phase 5 will be considered a single, complete project for cumulative impact purposes. Phase 5 will be deigned and built in three sub phases of which phase 5A was most recently approved. Sunset Ridge North Phase 5C is located on the North side of Holly Springs road (SR 1152), approximately 1/3 mile East of it's intersection with Bass Lake Road. The site can be accessed from Linksland Drive which is the main entrance to Sunset Ridge North. The entire area for Phase 5 is 96 acres. Please find the attached USGS topographic map for the location of the project. The proposed project consists of a residential subdivision. S&EC conducted a detailed wetland delineation in September 2000 and Ms. Jones issued a Jurisdictional Determination on August 6, 2002 (AID #200221313). Ms. Deborah Edwards conducted a site visit on February 1, 2002 and confirmed that features E and G are subject to the Buffers at the locations depicted on the overall site FEB 1 S 2004 WATER QUALITY SECT10 i plans and that feature B is not subject to the buffer rules. The recent history of permits and jurisdictional determinations can be found in the attached PCN. The applicant proposes to impact an unnamed tributary to Middle Creek with a perpendicular sanitary sewer line crossing. This crossing will temporarily impact 20 feet of stream, 1748 s.f. of Zone 1 and 0.013 acres of wetlands. Also, the applicant proposes four parallel impacts to zone 2 of the Neuse Buffer, totaling 6,453 s.f are proposed. The applicant has performed a detailed delineation of the wetlands and waters of the U.S. on-site as to avoid any many impacts as possible. The proposed impacts (1-4) are for sanitary sewer line connection to an existing line and extending the sewer line to the proposed project. These impacts are necessitated by the severe changes in elevation and the fact that the sewer is gravity fed limiting the possibilities of relocating the sewer line out of the buffers completely. Impact #5 is a perpendicular crossing of the unnamed tributary to connect to the existing sewer on the other side. We believe this to be an exempt activity under the Neuse Buffer Rules and therefore should not require mitigation. In order to comply with the Neuse Buffer Rules with respect to discharge, level spreaders will be used to achieve diffuse flow into the buffer. If any additional information is needed with regard to the application or design, please contact Chris Allen at 919-881-0724. Sincerely, 7AlleA11en eering, Inc. , E.

Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. 5. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): NA Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA 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 financial 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 applicant has performed a detailed delineation of the wetlands and waters of the U.S. on _site as to avoid any many impacts as possible The proposed impacts are for sanitary sewer line connection to an existin line. The impact to the unnamed tri but of Middle Creek is Page 9 of 13 necess to bri n sewer to this arcel of land from the ad'acent arcel. All im acts shown in this application are tem or 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 htti)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/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. Because the total cumulative wetlands impact for the entire roiect are below DW 's 1 acre mitigation threshold 0.368 and because the impact is temporary- we believe that miti ation should not be re uired. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at Page 10 of 13 (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://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 (square feet): NA Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ? No ? If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ? X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) 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: Page 11 of 13 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. I Zone* Impact 1 Parallel utility line (square feet) mpact 2 Parallel utility line (square feet) Impact 3 Parallel utility line (square feet) Impact 4 Parallel utility line (square feet) Impact 5 Perpendicular Utility line (square feet) Multiplie r Required Mitigation 1 0 0 0 0 1748 3 NA 2 3460 1472 780 723 455 1 NA T t l 346 o a * Zone i 1472 extends not in 0 faPt .,PA.,a,. 780 5-- Z _ 723 , 2203 NA --- ----.-- ---- .,. ,,,,a.j-, -u„c z extenas 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. The topographical change within the site necessitates the 4 parallel impacts to Zone 2 of the buffer. The sewer line was laced as far u the creek bank as ossible in an effort to minimize the impacts, however the farther the sewer is moved up the bank the deeper the trench excavation becomes. The deeper the trench the more impact there is due to the large slopes re uired. Again the sewer is gravity fed limiting the placement of the line The sewer line impacts are only Zone 2 of the buffer. Impact 5 consists of a e endiculaz sewer line crossing to connect the subdivision to the existing line of the other side of the unnamed tribut to Middle Creek. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. The imperious area for the proiect is less than 30% Level spreaders will be used to achieve diffuse flow into Neuse River Buffers within Phase 5C. Please see the attached Tans and calculations for the levels readers. -1n-particular, storm feature #75 is a structure that will as s the 1 inch rainfall into the Di De to structure 75A and then into the levels reader before it enters the wetlands. The larger storms will dischaz e from the to of structure 75 and bypass the level spreader. This is an area of existing concentrated flow and due to topographic constraints there is little opportunity to break up the pipe system to reduce the amount of water coming-Lo one spot. We believe that this a roach meets the intent of the diffuse flow into the buffer. If more information is re uired lease call Chris Allen at 919-669-3635. Page 12 of 13 XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. Sanitary Sewer XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-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).

On February 1, 2002, I conducted a site visit of the features south of Middle Creek on the above referenced project and identified on the attached Figures 1, 2 and 3. It was determined that Features C (below flag # NBR 24), E (below flag # NBR 20), G (below flag # 100), H, and Middle Creek shown either on the Wake County Soil Survey and/or on the USGS Apex, NC quadrangle map are subject to protection under the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A: 02B.0233 (NCAC .0233). Features A above the pond, B, D, and F are not subject to the Neuse River Basin buffer rules. Please note that tributaries north of Middle Creek were not evaluated. This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant to wetlands and other impacts, please contact the Central Office at 733-1786.
