U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Attn: Mr., John Dorney Attn: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer PO Box 29,535 6512 Falls of the Neuse Rd., Suite 105 Raleigh, NC 2762b Raleigh, NC 27615-6846 Dear Messrs. Alsmeyer and Dorney: The purpose of this letter is to request a Nationwide Permit and ,a Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the project to be known as Taminary Farm. The project is located near Apex, NC (Wake County) and is bordered, to the south by S.R. 1010,as shown on the enclosed.plans and vicinity maps. The Corps approved detailed wetland delineation'is shown on the attached map. These delineations,-have been approved; by Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Fill in the wetlands will be re_ to construct roadways and a'. residential development. It will be necessary to fil 2.05 ac s (see map.) of jurisdictional waters above headwat s for placement of the proposed facilities utilizin N onwide 26. In addition to 3 ,natural wetlands, two old farm ponds currently exist on-site. We propose to fill.-one of the ponds, the-smallest wetland area., and portions of the remaining pond and' wet1ands, .for a total of 2=.05.acres of fill in Waters of the U".S. However, the three wetland' areas impacted by partial fill will be'reworked, creating two new ponds and adding .44 acres of waters to the site. .17 acres; of wetland will be flooded. The, -Ponds will be'us'ed to retain and treat_stormwater, which will help protect water, quality in the watershed. Based on conversations with DEM and the Corps staff, under current "policy" non-vegetated area of Waters of the U.S. to be'"inundated by creation of lakes or other impoundments are not considered to be adversely impacted,' except for the dam area. Since the old farm pond to be reworked meets the criteria for exclusion, the area that is"to remain flooded has not been. included as a negative impact. Areas to be filled are included as negative impacts.
