FEB 1 4 2005

Dear Ms. Karoly and Mr. Tugwell:

DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETlANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
On behalf of K, Hovnanian Homes, Inc" we hereby request authorization to use
Nationwide Permit 14 to cover impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and streams for the
Louis Stephens Drive highway connection, We also request 401 Certification and buffer
compliance from the NC-DWQ. A Pre-construction Notification Form is attached.

The proposed stream crossing and roadway connection are located south of Morrisville
Parkway at its intersection with Louis Stephens Drive (see attached USGS site vicinity
map),

The proposed impacts consist of 256-linear feet of perennial/important stream
channel, 0.484 acres of wetland, and 16,695 s.f. of riparian buffer (ZI:10,713, Z2:
5,982). An additional 0.04-acre of temporary wetland impact is proposed for the
construction of a diversion ditch to redirect water so that the work can be conducted in
the 'dry', Following construction ofthe stream crossing, the temporarily impacted areas
will be returned to preconstructioncontours and reseeded.

Although this roadway is being constructed in the vicinity of a previously permitted
subdivision (Heritage Pines), the proposed roadway will serve as athoroughfare/collector
road for traffic inthe surrounding area and not just within the subdivision. Therefore we
believe this should be considered a separate project from the adjacent subdivision.
Moreover, this segment of roadway will connect two existing portions of the road at the
northern and southern property lines.

Because impacts are greater than 150 linear feet and greater 0,1 acres the applicant
proposes payment to' the NC-EEP to satisfy mitigation requirements. We have attached
our mitigation- request to EEP for your review. Because the wetland is low quality (i.e,
mainly herbaceous species such as Juncus) we propose payment at a 1: 1 ratio for wetland
impacts and a 2:1 ratio for stream impacts. The applicant also proposes payment tothe
NC-EEP for buffer mitigation.

The proposed buffer impacts associated with the utility line construction are not
perpendicular; however the impacts are necessary because the proposed utility line must
tie into an existing utility easement that is situated within the riparian buffer. Although
the impacts arenot perpendicular, we do not believe mitigation should be required
because there has not been a change of use (I.e. the existing buffer is a grassed utility
easement and will remain as such).

PleasecontactS&EC at [phone] if you have any questions, require additional
, information, or would like to schedule a site visit.

Sincerely,

~~

draw-down valve or spillway, etc,): N/A

Proposed use or purpose of pond (e,g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A

Size of watershed draining to pond: N/ A

Expected pond surface area: N/ A

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 proposed impacts are necessary to complete the final section of roadway for a planned
thoroughfare (Louis Stephens Drive) for the Town of Cary. S&EC delineated the wetland areas
in the vicinity of the roadway alignment in January. 2005, The proiect consists of temporary and
permanent impacts resulting from road construction, Temporary wetland impacts are needed to
construct a diversion ditch to redirect water from the stream while installing the culvert and
constructing the stream crossing. Following construction of the stream crossing. the temporarily
impacted areas will be returned to preconstruction contours and reseeded.

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.

Page 5 0[8

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 project area is located between two existing sections of Louis Stephens Drive in Cary.
NC (C31llenter area). The stream affected by this impact is a UT of Crabtree Creek and
carries a surface freshwater classification of C:NSW. An application has been sent to NC-
EEP for rilitigation request. We will provide a copy of the acceptance letter once approval is
granted. The wetland area that will be impacted during this project is a beaver impoundment
consisting mainly of Juncus sp. and herbaceous emergent wetland vegetation. Beaver activity
has deforested the area within the' wetland and eliminated the forest canopy. Due to the
lower-quality of this wetland area. we are requesting 1: 1 mitigation for wetland impacts.

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
[phone] 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): 512
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 41.112
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0.5
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0

coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes D No D

If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEP A or SEP A final approval letter.
Yes D No 0

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
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes [gJ No D 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.

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.
We propose payment to the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund to cover the cost of riparian buffer
mitigation. Please be aware that buffer impacts associated with the utility line construction are
not perpendicular: however the impacts are only necessary because the proposed utility line must
tie into an existing utility easement that is situated within the riparian buffer. Because the
existing use is a grassed sewer easement we do not believe mitigation should be required for the
utility line impacts,

Page 7 of8

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 site currently has two existing level spreaders constructed by the Town of Cary at the end of
their construction zone (see attached map). This proiect proposes the construction of an
additional level spreader as shown on the attached drawings, We have provided the level
spreader calculations as an attachment.

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,

Yes D No ~

Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes D 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).
