Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Ohlberg:
The purpose of this letter is to request revisions to an existing Section 401 Water
Quality Certification and Nationwide Permits for the project previously known
as the Sunset West Development currently called Devils Ridge owned by SSL
Limited Partnership. The project is located near Holly Springs, NC (Wake
County) and is bordered by SR #1393, SR # 1152 and Basal Creek as shown on
the enclosed plans. The original permits were for a golf course and two different
residential developments each owned by a different entity but for regulatory
purposes they were considered one project.
Our firm has performed the detailed wetland delineation shown on the attached
map for new property added to the project and revised the old delineation by
Needham, Jernigan and Associates for the old sections. These delienations have
been approved by Mr. Eric Alsmeyer and/or Ms. Amy Ohlberg of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
Fill in the wetlands will be required to utilize the property for residential
development utilities and roads. Significant revisions were made to the
proposed development plan of the new tract which minimized wetland impacts.
Total impacts by the current plan in this area are .439 acres (see map) of wool
jurisdictional wetlands above headwaters for placement of the proposed
development. .29 Acres (see map) will be filled under Nationwide Permit 26
and .149 acres will be impacted by utility lines. (See attached 26 large plan.)
Previously our client was permitted to impact.59 acres in this area (see attaacl
small plan).
Previously a total 43.34 a res was authorized for the entire development (bc
residential areas an a olf). Nationwide Permit 14 acreage was.51 and
Nationwide 26 was 2.83 acres.

Dear Mr. Martin:
Subject: Revisions to 401 Water Quality Certification for Devils Ridge
Staff from this office have reviewed your January 12 request on
behalf of Sunset Lake Limited Partnership for revisions to an existing
401 Water Quality Certification. In order to keep our record of
wetland fill complete and accurate, we will require additional
information from your office. Please provide us with two legible
maps showing wetland impacts for the project as it was originally
submitted as well as the revised project. The wetland impacts
should be labelled with the acreage of impact and the permit type
(i.e. NW12, NW14, or NW26).
We will be able to process your request for this revision when we
have the additional information. Thank you for your assistance with
this matter.

Sunset Lake Limited Partnership - Revision
Wake County
Please note: As per a request from Kevin Martin, I waited to
schedule this (# 00039 ) project until I received the adjacent
Sunset Phase - Sunset Lake West 401 package (#00087).
On the attached map labeled as #1, the previous approved wetland
impacts have been indicated. Apparently, the developer chose a
different "lay out" for the subdivision (see map #2). All of the
subject wetland impacts on map #2 have already been complete. S&EC
indicated in the attached letter the subject wetland impacts are
less than originally permitted total.
Since I was unable to find RRO's initial file for this project and
due to the lack of clarity of the permit application I offer the
following comments:
1) It appears that the applicant decided to "swap" impact
acreage between both NW 14 and NW 26. As a result, impacts from
road crossing to wetland that housed significant function have
occurred.
2) The road crossings that are indicated on the attached map
#2 parallel large section of wetlands and waters of the state (vs
crossing perpendicular). Also, paved streets and completed single
family houses are already in place along these impacts.
3) From visual inspection of both maps #1 and #2 it is unclear
if the total wetland impact acreage is accurately depicted in the
application.
Sunset Lake is a multi-phase project. If appropriate under
current DEM policy, this portion of the Sunset Lake project
warrants mitigatory requirements from Division. Also, current work
on an additional phase of this project has also resulted in
significant wetland impacts without receipt of a WQ
Certification... please see Sunset Lake West Package.
