Dear Mr. Anderson:
On March 31, 2004 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application regarding
your plan to fill wetlands or waters for the purpose of a stream crossing in Wake County. Approval from DWQ is
required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ #
listed above in your reply. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can
begin to determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
1. Please indicate all stormwater outfalls on the site plan
2. Please indicate the diffuse flow provision measures on the site plan
3. Please be aware that it is very unlikely that DWQ will allow a road crossing of this stream for
undefined future development. This issue will be addressed once the application is complete.
Please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or
procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0505(c).
The processing time for this application will begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you
by writing or by fax at [phone] within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer want to pursue the

RE: Nationwide Permit 39 and Buffer Compliance
Forest Ridge Subdivision
Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Burdette and Mr. Dorney:
On behalf of Mr. Bob Anderson of Barton Development Group (property owner), we
hereby request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use
Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed pennanent impacts to an intermittent stream resulting
from a residential road crossing. In addition, we request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent
Authorization Form.
The site is ± 26 acres in size and is located immediately south of the intersection of
Purnell Road (SR 1909) and Bold Run Hill Road (SR 1012) in Wake County. Please refer
to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the
demand for housing in this area. No jurisdictional features or buffered streams exist on
the property other than along the property line. Typically, the USACE and the NC-DWQ
do not allow such impacts that result from the installation of a road that will not
immediately or in the near future provide service or access to otherwise inaccessible
areas. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent property is
developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the

County's requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. Proposed
impacts resulting from the road crossing will total 104 linear feet of intermittent stream,
1,403 square feet to Zone 1 and 1,045 square feet to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers.
S&EC completed a detailed Neuse Buffer Evaluation on Apri14, 2003. On April 16,
2003, S&EC personnel met with Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ to determine to
starting point of riparian buffers (NBRRO 03-180). A copy of the Neuse Buffer letter is
attached.
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed, intermittent tributary to Lowery Creek runs southwest coincident with the
property line of the proposed subdivision. As per Wake County's request to extend the
proposed road to the property line, the crossing will extend to the property line/stream
channel (see attached site plan). Approximately 104 linear feet of channel will be
permanently impacted at the proposed road crossing (Impact 1). In order to minimize
impacts, the road will cross at a nearly perpendicular angle and headwalls will be
installed on either side of the proposed roadway. The applicant will employ appropriate
erosion and siltation controls during construction and velocity dissipaters will be
installed. This project will comply with the general and regional conditions of NWP 39.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
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. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes the use of
headwalls and will cross the channel perpendicularly. Also, impacts on site have been
limited to one road crossing. Typically, impacts to intermittent stream channels do not
require mitigation; therefore, S&EC does not believe mitigation should be required by the
USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the
NC-EEP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream impacts of greater
then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 104 linear feet of proposed intermittent
stream impacts and no proposed wetland impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
Neuse River Buffer Compliance
In order to comply with the Wake County requirements to extend the residential road to
the property line, the applicant proposes a residential road crossing, (see attached site
plan). This crossing will impact 2448 square feet (0.055 acres) of riparian buffers
(Impact 1). Erosion and siltation control devices will be used during construction of the
road crossing.
March 31, 2004
S&EC Project #: 7666.W1
Page 3 of 3
The NC-DWQ requires riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater
than one-third of an acre of impacts per crossing. Because the proposed stream crossing
results in less than one-third of an acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is
proposed.

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 requested a Neuse Buffer delineation of streams on-site prior to site plan
development in order to determine the extent and location of streams and buffers. Although
jurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent practical Wake County requires the
subdivision road to extend to the property line which runs along an unnamed intermittent
channel to Lowery Creek. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent
property is developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the County's
requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. The applicant plans to cross the
channel at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and
riparian buffer.
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,
Page 5 of 8
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/stn-ngide.html.
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 jurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts to
the creek are less than 150 linear feet and will be minimized by using headwalls and crossing
at a nearly perpendicular angle. Moreover, mitigation typically is not required for
intermittent channels that are determined to be unimportant. If mitigation is required the
applicant proposes payment into the NC-EEP.
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/wip/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
Page 6 of 9
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 [phone] 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
(Neuse), 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.
Road Crossing (Exhibit B)
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 1,403 3 NA
2 1,045 1.5 NA
Total 2,448 NA
* Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular trom near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends 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.
Page 7 of 8
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.
Currently, there is no impervious acreage on the site. The proposed plan calls for the entire site
to have a total of no more than 15% impervious acreage (i.e. less than 30%); therefore no
stormwater plan is attached for approval.
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.
The proposed subdivision will utilize conventional individual lot septic systems.
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).

Dear Mr. Suther:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-180.
On April 16, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A and B involved in the above referenced
project as identified on the attached figures 1 and 2. It was determined that the features shown on the
Wake County Soil Survey, but absent on the USGS Grissom, NC Quad map could potentially be 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). Feature
A is subject throughout entire eastern property line. Feature B is subject at and below flag #01(start NBR).
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to 401 Water Quality Certifications, wetlands and other impacts to "waters of the state", please contact
the Central Office at 733-1786. (Note: if a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed, please be reminded
not to begin your project until the certification has been received.) Thank you for your attention to this
matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

RE: Nationwide Permit 39 and Buffer Compliance
Forest Ridge Subdivision
Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Burdette and Mr. Dorney:
On behalf of Mr. Bob Anderson of Barton Development Group (property owner), we
hereby request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) to use
Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed permanent impacts to an intermittent stream resulting
from a residential road crossing. In addition, we request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent
Authorization Form.
The site is ± 26 acres in size and is located immediately south of the intersection of
Purnell Road (SR 1909) and Bold Run Hill Road (SR 1012) in Wake County. Please refer
to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the
demand for housing in this area. No jurisdictional features or buffered streams exist on
the property other than along the property line. Typically, the USACE and the NC-DWQ
do not allow such impacts that result from the installation of a road that will not
immediately or in the near future provide service or access to otherwise inaccessible
areas. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent property is
developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the

County's requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. Proposed
impacts resulting from the road crossing will total 104 linear feet of intermittent stream,
1,403 square feet to Zone 1 and 1,045 square feet to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers.
S&EC completed a detailed Neuse Buffer Evaluation on April 4, 2003. On April 16,
2003, S&EC personnel met with Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ to determine to
starting point of riparian buffers (NBRRO 03-180). A copy of the Neuse Buffer letter is
attached.
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed, intermittent tributary to Lowery Creek runs southwest coincident with the
property line of the proposed subdivision. As per Wake County's request to extend the
proposed road to the property line, the crossing will extend to the property line/stream
channel (see attached site plan). Approximately 104 linear feet of channel will be
permanently impacted at the proposed road crossing (Impact 1). In order to minimize
impacts, the road will cross at a nearly perpendicular angle and headwalls will be
installed on either side of the proposed roadway. The applicant will employ appropriate
erosion and siltation controls during construction and velocity dissipaters will be
installed. This project will comply with the general and regional conditions of NWP 39.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
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. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes the use of
headwalls and will cross the channel perpendicularly. Also, impacts on site have been
limited to one road crossing. Typically, impacts to intermittent stream channels do not
require mitigation; therefore, S&EC does not believe mitigation should be required by the
USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the
NC-EEP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream impacts of greater
then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 104 linear feet of proposed intennittent
stream impacts and no proposed wetland impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
Neuse River Buffer Compliance
In order to comply with the Wake County requirements to extend the residential road to
the property line, the applicant proposes a residential road crossing, (see attached site
plan). This crossing will impact 2448 square feet (0.055 acres) of riparian buffers
(Impact 1). Erosion and siltation control devices will be used during construction of the
road crossing.
March 31, 2004
S&EC Project #: 7666.W 1
Page 3 of 3
The NC-DWQ requires riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater
than one-third of an acre of impacts per crossing. Because the proposed stream crossing
results in less than one-third of an acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is
proposed.

Page 4 of 8
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 requested a Neuse Buffer delineation of streams on-site prior to site plan
development in order to determine the extent and location of streams and buffers. Although
jurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent practical, Wake County requires the
subdivision road to extend to the property line which runs along an unnamed intermittent
channel to Lowery Creek The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent
property is developed some time in the future the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the County's
requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval The applicant plans to cross the
channel at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and
riparian buffer.
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,
Page 5 of 8
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 jurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts to
the creek are less than 150 linear feet and will be minimized by using headwalls and crossing
at a nearly perpendicular angle. Moreover, mitigation typically is not required for
intermittent channels that are determined to be unimportant. If mitigation is required, the
applicant proposes payment into the NC-EEP.
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): 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

(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
Page 6 of 8
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 [phone] 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
(Neuse), 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.
Road Crossiniz (Exhibit B)
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 1,403 3 NA
2 1,045 1.5 NA
Total 2,448 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular flrom near bank of channel; Zone Z extends 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.

Page 7 of 8
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.
Currently, there is no impervious acreage on the site. The proposed plan calls for the entire site
to have a total of no more than 15% impervious acreage (i.e. less than 30%)• therefore no
stormwater plan is attached for approval.
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.
The proposed subdivision will utilize conventional individual lot septic systems.
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).

Raleigh, Wake County, NC
Dear Mr. Suther:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-180.
On April 16, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A and B involved in the above referenced
project as identified on the attached figures 1 and 2. It was determined that the features shown on the
Wake County Soil Survey, but absent on the USGS Grissom, NC Quad map could potentially be 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). Feature
A is subject throughout entire eastern property line. Feature B is subject at and below flag #01(start NBR).
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to 401 Water Quality Certifications, wetlands and other impacts to "waters of the state", please contact
the Central Office at 733-1786. (Note: if a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed, please be reminded
not to begin your project until the certification has been received.) Thank you for your attention to this
matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

RE: Nationwide Permit 39 and Buffer Compliance
Forest Ridge Subdivision
Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Burdette and Mr. Dorney:
On behalf of Mr. Bob Anderson of Barton Development Group (property owner), we
hereby request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use
Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed permanent impacts to an intermittent stream resulting
from a residential road crossing. In addition, we request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent
Authorization Form.
The site is ± 26 acres in size and is located immediately south of the intersection of
Purnell Road (SR 1909) and Bold Run Hill Road (SR 1012) in Wake County. Please refer
to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the
demand for housing in this area. No jurisdictional features or buffered streams exist on
the property other than along the property line. Typically, the USACE and the NC-DWQ
do not allow such impacts that result from the installation of a road that will not
immediately or in the near future provide service or access to otherwise inaccessible
areas. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent property is
developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the

County's requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. Proposed
impacts resulting from the road crossing will total 104 linear feet of intermittent stream,
1,403 square feet to Zone 1 and 1,045 square feet to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers.
S&EC completed a detailed Neuse Buffer Evaluation on April 4, 2003. On April 16,
2003, S&EC personnel met with Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ to determine to
starting point of riparian buffers (NBRRO 03-180). A copy of the Neuse Buffer letter is
attached.
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed, intermittent tributary to Lowery Creek runs southwest coincident with the
property line of the proposed subdivision. As per Wake County's request to extend the
proposed road to the property line, the crossing will extend to the property line/stream
channel (see attached site plan). Approximately 104 linear feet of channel will be
permanently impacted at the proposed road crossing (Impact 1). In order to minimize
impacts, the road will cross at a nearly perpendicular angle and headwalls will be
installed on either side of the proposed roadway. The applicant will employ appropriate
erosion and siltation controls during construction and velocity dissipaters will be
installed. This project will comply with the general and regional conditions of NWP 39.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
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. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes the use of
headwalls and will cross the channel perpendicularly. Also, impacts on site have been
limited to one road crossing. Typically, impacts to intermittent stream channels do not
require mitigation; therefore, S&EC does not believe mitigation should be required by the
USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the
NC-EEP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream impacts of greater
then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 104 linear feet of proposed intermittent
stream impacts and no proposed wetland impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
Neuse River Buffer Compliance
In order to comply with the Wake County requirements to extend the residential road to
the property line, the applicant proposes a residential road crossing, (see attached site
plan). This crossing will impact 2448 square feet (0.055 acres) of riparian buffers
(Impact 1). Erosion and siltation control devices will be used during construction of the
road crossing.
March 31, 2004
S&EC Project #: 7666.W l
Page 3 of 3
The NC-DWQ requires riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater
than one-third of an acre of impacts per crossing. Because the proposed stream crossing
results in less than one-third of an acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is
proposed.

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 requested a Neuse Buffer delineation of streams on-site prior to site plan
development in order to determine the extent and location of streams and buffers. Although
jurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent practical Wake County requires the
subdivision road to extend to the property line which runs along an unnamed intermittent
channel to Lowery Creek The county is requiring. this road to be installed so that if the adjacent
property is developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the County's
requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval The applicant plans to cross the
channel at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and
riparian buffer.
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,
Page 5 of 8
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/stnngide.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 jurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts to
the creek are less than 150 linear feet and will be minimized by using headwalls and crossing
at a nearly perpendicular__ angle. Moreover, mitigation typically is not required for
intermittent channels that are determined to be unimportant. If mitigation is required, the
applicant proposes payment into the NC-EEP.
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): 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
Page 6 of 8
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 [phone] 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
(Neuse), 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.
Road Crossing (Exhibit B)
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 1,403 3 NA
2 1,045 1.5 NA
Total 2,448 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 teet perpendicular from near oanK or enannei; Gone z exrenos 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.
Page 7 of 8
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.
Currently, there is no impervious acreage on the site The proposed plan calls for the entire site
to have a total of no more than 15% impervious acreage (i.e. less than 30%)• therefore no
stormwater plan is attached for approval.
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.
The proposed subdivision will utilize conventional individual lot septic systems.
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).
Applicant/Agent's Signature Date

Raleigh, Wake County, NC
Dear Mr. Suther:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-180.
On April 16, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A and B involved in the above referenced
project as identified on the attached figures 1 and 2. It was determined that the features shown on the
Wake County Soil Survey, but absent on the USGS Grissom, NC Quad map could potentially be 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). Feature
A is subject throughout entire eastern property line. Feature B is subject at and below flag #01(start NBR).
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to 401 Water Quality Certifications, wetlands and other impacts to "waters of the state", please contact
the Central Office at 733-1786. (Note: if a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed, please be reminded
not to begin your project until the certification has been received.) Thank you for your attention to this
matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Burdette and Mr. Dorney:

NCDENR-DWQ
Attn: Mr. John Dorney
2321 Crabtree Blvd
Parkview Building
Raleigh, NC 27604
VV f!_ d.?
On behalf of Mr. Bob Anderson of Barton Development Group (property owner), we
hereby request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use
Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed permanent impacts to an intermittent stream resulting
from a residential road crossing. In addition, we request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent
Authorization Form.
The site is ± 26 acres in size and is located immediately south of the intersection of
Purnell Road (SR 1909) and Bold Run Hill Road (SR 1012) in Wake County. Please refer
to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the
demand for housing in this area. No jurisdictional features or buffered streams exist on
the property other than along the property line. Typically, the USACE and the NC-DWQ
do not allow such impacts that result from the installation of a road that will not
immediately or in the near future provide service or access to otherwise inaccessible
areas. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent property is
developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the

County's requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. Proposed
impacts resulting from the road crossing will total 104 linear feet of intermittent stream,
1,403 square feet to Zone 1 and 1,045 square feet to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers.
S&EC completed a detailed Neuse Buffer Evaluation on April 4, 2003. On April 16,
2003, S&EC personnel met with Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ to determine to
starting point of riparian buffers (NBRRO 03-180). A copy of the Neuse Buffer letter is
attached.
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed, intermittent tributary to Lowery Creek runs southwest coincident with the
property line of the proposed subdivision. As per Wake County's request to extend the
proposed road to the property line, the crossing will extend to the property line/stream
channel (see attached site plan). Approximately 104 linear feet of channel will be
permanently impacted at the proposed road crossing (Impact 1). In order to minimize
impacts, the road will cross at a nearly perpendicular angle and headwalls will be
installed on either side of the proposed roadway. The applicant will employ appropriate
erosion and siltation controls during construction and velocity dissipaters will be
installed. This project will comply with the general and regional conditions of NWP 39.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
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. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes the use of
headwalls and will cross the channel perpendicularly. Also, impacts on site have been
limited to one road crossing. Typically, impacts to intermittent stream channels do not
require mitigation; therefore, S&EC does not believe mitigation should be required by the
USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the
NC-EEP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream impacts of greater
then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 104 linear feet of proposed intermittent
stream impacts and no proposed wetland impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
Neuse River Buffer Compliance
In order to comply with the Wake County requirements to extend the residential road to
the property line, the applicant proposes a residential road crossing, (see attached site
plan). This crossing will impact 2448 square feet (0.055 acres) of riparian buffers
(Impact 1). Erosion and siltation control devices will be used during construction of the
road crossing.
March 31, 2004
S&EC Project #: 7666.W1
Page 3 of 3
The NC-DWQ requires riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater
than one-third of an acre of impacts per crossing. Because the proposed stream crossing
results in less than one-third of an acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is
proposed.

and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation fonns should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
Page 3 of 8
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
One intermittent channel and its associated riparian buffer will be permanently impacted for a
road crossing (Impact 1). In order to meet Wake County requirements the crossing will extend
to the property boundary, which is coincident with the centerline of the stream The crossing
will permanently impact 104 linear feet of intermittent stream channel and the associated buffer.
2. Individually list wetland impacts below:

excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.
** 100-Year floodplains are identified through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM), or FEMA-approved local floodplain maps. Maps are available through the FEMA Map Service Center at 1-800-358-9616, or
online at http://www.fema,gov.
*** List a wetland type that best describes wetland to be impacted (e.g., freshwater/saltwater marsh, forested wetland, beaver pond,
Carolina Bay, bog, etc.) Indicate if wetland is isolated (determination of isolation to be made by USACE only).
List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: +/- 0.25 acre
Total area of wetland impact proposed: None
3. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts below:

dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usgs.gov. Several intemet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mapquest.com, etc.).

Page 4 of 8
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
Descobe 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 requested a Neuse Buffer delineation of streams on-site prior to site plan
development in order to determine the extent and location of streams and buffers. Although
iurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent practical Wake County requires the
subdivision road to extend to the property line which runs along an unnamed, intermittent
channel to Lowery Creek. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent
property is developed some time in the future the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the County's
requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. The applicant plans to cross the
channel at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and
riparian buffer.
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,
Page 5 of 8
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/ncwetla,nds/stnngide.html.
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 iurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable Impacts to
the creek are less than 150 linear feet and will be minimized by using headwalls and crossin
at a nearly perpendicular angle. Moreover, mitigation typically is not required for
intermittent channels that are determined to be unimportant. If mitigation is required the
applicant proposes payment into the NC-EEP.
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): 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
Page 6 of 8
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 [phone] 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
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .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.
Road Crossing (Exhibit B)
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 1,403 3 NA
2 1,045 1.5 NA
Total 2,448 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends 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.
NA
Page 7 of 8
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.
Currently, there is no impervious acreage on the site. The proposed plan calls for the entire site
to have a total of no more than 15% impervious acreage (i.e. less than 30%)• therefore no
stormwater plan is attached for approval.
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.
The proposed subdivision will utilize conventional individual lot septic systems
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).

Dear Mr. Suther:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-180.
On April 16, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A and B involved in the above referenced
project as identified on the attached figures 1 and 2. It was determined that the features shown on the
Wake County Soil Survey, but absent on the USGS Grissom, NC Quad map could potentially be subject
to protection under the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A: 0213.0233 (NCAC .0233). Feature
A is subject throughout entire eastern property line. Feature B is subject at and below flag #01(start NBR).
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to 401 Water Quality Certifications, wetlands and other impacts to "waters of the state", please contact
the Central Office at 733-1786. (Note: if a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed, please be reminded
not to begin your project until the certification has been received.) Thank you for your attention to this
matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

RE: Nationwide Permit 39 and Buffer Compliance
Forest Ridge Subdivision
Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Burdette and Mr. Dorney:
On behalf of Mr. Bob Anderson of Barton Development Group (property owner), we
hereby request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use
Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed permanent impacts to an intermittent stream resulting
from a residential road crossing. In addition, we request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent
Authorization Form.
The site is ± 26 acres in size and is located immediately south of the intersection of
Purnell Road (SR 1909) and Bold Run Hill Road (SR 1012) in Wake County. Please refer
to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the
demand for housing in this area. No jurisdictional features or buffered streams exist on
the property other than along the property line. Typically, the USACE and the NC-DWQ
do not allow such impacts that result from the installation of a road that will not
immediately or in the near future provide service or access to otherwise inaccessible
areas. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent property is
developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the

County's requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. Proposed
impacts resulting from the road crossing will total 104 linear feet of intermittent stream,
1,403 square feet to Zone 1 and 1,045 square feet to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers.
S&EC completed a detailed Neuse Buffer Evaluation on April 4, 2003. On April 16,
2003, S&EC personnel met with Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ to determine to
starting point of riparian buffers (NBRRO 03-180). A copy of the Neuse Buffer letter is
attached.
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed, intermittent tributary to Lowery Creek runs southwest coincident with the
property line of the proposed subdivision. As per Wake County's request to extend the
proposed road to the property line, the crossing will extend to the property line/stream
channel (see attached site plan). Approximately 104 linear feet of channel will be
permanently impacted at the proposed road crossing (Impact 1). In order to minimize
impacts, the road will cross at a nearly perpendicular angle and headwalls will be
installed on either side of the proposed roadway. The applicant will employ appropriate
erosion and siltation controls during construction and velocity dissipaters will be
installed. This project will comply with the general and regional conditions of NWP 39.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
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. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes the use of
headwalls and will cross the channel perpendicularly. Also, impacts on site have been
limited to one road crossing. Typically, impacts to intermittent stream channels do not
require mitigation; therefore, S&EC does not believe mitigation should be required by the
USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the
NC-EEP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream impacts of greater
then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 104 linear feet of proposed intermittent
stream impacts and no proposed wetland impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
Neuse River Buffer Compliance
In order to comply with the Wake County requirements to extend the residential road to
the property line, the applicant proposes a residential road crossing, (see attached site
plan). This crossing will impact 2448 square feet (0.055 acres) of riparian buffers
(Impact 1). Erosion and siltation control devices will be used during construction of the
road crossing.
March 31, 2004
S&EC Project #: 7666.W1
Page 3 of 3
The NC-DWQ requires riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater
than one-third of an acre of impacts per crossing. Because the proposed stream crossing
results in less than one-third of an acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is
proposed.

Page 4 of 8
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 requested a Neuse Buffer delineation of streams on-site prior to site plan
development in order to determine the extent and location of streams and buffers. Although
iurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent practical Wake County requires the
subdivision road to extend to the property line which runs along an unnamed, intermittent
channel to Lowery Creek. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent
property is developed some time in the future the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the County's
requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. The applicant plans to cross the
channel at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and
riparian buffer.
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,
Page 5 of 8
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/strrngide.html.
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 iurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable Impacts to
the creek are less than 150 linear feet and will be minimized by using headwalls and crossing
at a nearly perpendicular angle Moreover, mmitigation typically is not required for
intermittent channels that are determined to be unimportant. If mitigation is required the
applicant proposes payment into the NC-EEP.
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): 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
Page 6 of 8
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 [phone] 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.

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 213 .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.
Road Crossing (Exhibit B)
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 1,403 3 NA
2 1,045 1.5 NA
Total 2,448 NA
Lone 1 extends out 3U feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Lone 2 extends 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.

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.
Currently, there is no impervious acreage on the site The proposed plan calls for the entire site
to have a total of no more than 15% impervious acreage (i.e. less than 30%)• therefore no
stormwater plan is attached for approval.
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.
The proposed subdivision will utilize conventional individual lot septic systems

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).

Raleigh, Wake County, NC
Dear Mr. Suther:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-180.
On April 16, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A and B involved in the above referenced
project as identified on the attached figures 1 and 2. It was determined that the features shown on the
Wake County Soil Survey, but absent on the USGS Grissom, NC Quad map could potentially be subject
to protection under the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A: 0213.0233 (NCAC .0233). Feature
A is subject throughout entire eastern property line. Feature B is subject at and below flag #01(start NBR).
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to 401 Water Quality Certifications, wetlands and other impacts to "waters of the state", please contact
the Central Office at 733-1786. (Note: if a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed, please be reminded
not to begin your project until the certification has been received.) Thank you for your attention to this
matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

from a residential road crossing. In addition, we request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent
Authorization Form.
The site is ± 26 acres in size and is located immediately south of the intersection of
Purnell Road (SR 1909) and Bold Run Hill Road (SR 1012) in Wake County. Please refer
to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the
demand for housing in this area. No jurisdictional features or buffered streams exist on
the property other than along the property line. Typically, the USACE and the NC-DWQ
do not allow such impacts that result from the installation of a road that will not
immediately or in the near future provide service or access to otherwise inaccessible
areas. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent property is
developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the

County's requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. Proposed
impacts resulting from the road crossing will total 104 linear feet of intermittent stream,
1,403 square feet to Zone 1 and 1,045 square feet to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers.
S&EC completed a detailed Neuse Buffer Evaluation on April 4, 2003. On April 16,
2003, S&EC personnel met with Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ to determine to
starting point of riparian buffers (NBRRO 03-180). A copy of the Neuse Buffer letter is
attached.
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed, intermittent tributary to Lowery Creek runs southwest coincident with the
property line of the proposed subdivision. As per Wake County's request to extend the
proposed road to the property line, the crossing will extend to the property line/stream
channel (see attached site plan). Approximately 104 linear feet of channel will be
permanently impacted at the proposed road crossing (Impact 1). In order to minimize
impacts, the road will cross at a nearly perpendicular angle and headwalls will be
installed on either side of the proposed roadway. The applicant will employ appropriate
erosion and siltation controls during construction and velocity dissipaters will be
installed. This project will comply with the general and regional conditions of NWP 39.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
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. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes the use of
headwalls and will cross the channel perpendicularly. Also, impacts on site have been
limited to one road crossing. Typically, impacts to intermittent stream channels do not
require mitigation; therefore, S&EC does not believe mitigation should be required by the
USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the
NC-EEP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream impacts of greater
then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 104 linear feet of proposed intermittent
stream impacts and no proposed wetland impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
Neuse River Buffer Compliance
In order to comply with the Wake County requirements to extend the residential road to
the property line, the applicant proposes a residential road crossing, (see attached site
plan). This crossing will impact 2448 square feet (0.055 acres) of riparian buffers
(Impact 1). Erosion and siltation control devices will be used during construction of the
road crossing.
March 31, 2004
S&EC Project #: 7666.W1
Page 3 of 3
The NC-DWQ requires riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater
than one-third of an acre of impacts per crossing. Because the proposed stream crossing
results in less than one-third of an acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is
proposed.

Page 4 of 8
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
Descobe 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 requested a Neuse Buffer delineation of streams on-site prior to site plan
development in order to determine the extent and location of streams and buffers. Although
jurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent practical Wake County requires the
subdivision road to extend to the property line which runs along an unnamed, intermittent
channel to Lowery Creek. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent
property is developed some time in the future the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the County's
requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. The applicant plans to cross the
channel at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and
riparian buffer.
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,
Page 5 of 8
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/stnngide.html.
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 jurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable Impacts to
the creek are less than 150 linear feet and will be minimized by using headwalls and crossing
at a nearly perpendicular angle Moreover, mmitigation typically is not required for
intermittent channels that are determined to be unimportant. If mitigation is required the
applicant proposes payment into the NC-EEP.
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): 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
Page 6 of 8
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 [phone] 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
(Neuse), 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.
Road Crossing (Exhibit B)
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 1,403 3 NA
2 1,045 1.5 NA
Total 2,448 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Gone L extends 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.

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.
Currently, there is no impervious acreage on the site The proposed plan calls for the entire site
to have a total of no more than 15% impervious acreage (i.e. less than 30%)• therefore no
stormwater plan is attached for approval.
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.
The proposed subdivision will utilize conventional individual lot septic systems
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).

Dear Mr. Suther:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-180.
On April 16, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A and B involved in the above referenced
project as identified on the attached figures 1 and 2. It was determined that the features shown on the
Wake County Soil Survey, but absent on the USGS Grissom, NC Quad map could potentially be subject
to protection under the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A: 0213.0233 (NCAC .0233). Feature
A is subject throughout entire eastern property line. Feature B is subject at and below flag #01(start NBR).
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to 401 Water Quality Certifications, wetlands and other impacts to "waters of the state", please contact
the Central Office at 733-1786. (Note: if a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed, please be reminded
not to begin your project until the certification has been received.) Thank you for your attention to this
matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.

Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Burdette and Mr. Dorney:
On behalf of Mr. Bob Anderson of Barton Development Group (property owner), we
hereby request authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use
Nationwide Permit 39 for proposed permanent impacts to an intermittent stream resulting
from a residential road crossing. In addition, we request written concurrence from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality that the project complies with the Neuse Buffer
Rules and the 401 Water Quality Certifications associated with NWP 39. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an Agent
Authorization Form.
The site is ± 26 acres in size and is located immediately south of the intersection of
Purnell Road (SR 1909) and Bold Run Hill Road (SR 1012) in Wake County. Please refer
to the attached map (Figure 1) for the project's location on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
The purpose of this project is to construct a residential subdivision that will meet the
demand for housing in this area. No jurisdictional features or buffered streams exist on
the property other than along the property line. Typically, the USACE and the NC-DWQ
do not allow such impacts that result from the installation of a road that will not
immediately or in the near future provide service or access to otherwise inaccessible
areas. The county is requiring this road to be installed so that if the adjacent property is
developed some time in the future, the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the

County's requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. Proposed
impacts resulting from the road crossing will total 104 linear feet of intermittent stream,
1,403 square feet to Zone 1 and 1,045 square feet to Zone 2 of the Neuse Buffers.
S&EC completed a detailed Neuse Buffer Evaluation on April 4, 2003. On April 16,
2003, S&EC personnel met with Ms. Debbie Edwards of the NC-DWQ to determine to
starting point of riparian buffers (NBRRO 03-180). A copy of the Neuse Buffer letter is
attached.
Nationwide Permit 39
An unnamed, intermittent tributary to Lowery Creek runs southwest coincident with the
property line of the proposed subdivision. As per Wake County's request to extend the
proposed road to the property line, the crossing will extend to the property line/stream
channel (see attached site plan). Approximately 104 linear feet of channel will be
permanently impacted at the proposed road crossing (Impact 1). In order to minimize
impacts, the road will cross at a nearly perpendicular angle and headwalls will be
installed on either side of the proposed roadway. The applicant will employ appropriate
erosion and siltation controls during construction and velocity dissipaters will be
installed. This project will comply with the general and regional conditions of NWP 39.
No wetlands will be impacted by the proposed road crossing.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and
stream channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require
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. In an attempt to minimize impacts, the applicant proposes the use of
headwalls and will cross the channel perpendicularly. Also, impacts on site have been
limited to one road crossing. Typically, impacts to intermittent stream channels do not
require mitigation; therefore, S&EC does not believe mitigation should be required by the
USACE for this project. If mitigation is required, the applicant proposes payment to the
NC-EEP.
NC-DWQ's current policy requires mitigation for perennial stream impacts of greater
then 150 linear feet per project. There are only 104 linear feet of proposed intermittent
stream impacts and no proposed wetland impacts, therefore, mitigation is not proposed.
Neuse River Buffer Compliance
In order to comply with the Wake County requirements to extend the residential road to
the property line, the applicant proposes a residential road crossing, (see attached site
plan). This crossing will impact 2448 square feet (0.055 acres) of riparian buffers
(Impact 1). Erosion and siltation control devices will be used during construction of the
road crossing.

S&EC Project #: 7666.W1
Page 3 of 3
The NC-DWQ requires riparian buffer mitigation for stream crossings resulting in greater
than one-third of an acre of impacts per crossing. Because the proposed stream crossing
results in less than one-third of an acre of buffer impacts, no buffer mitigation is
proposed.

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 requested a Neuse Buffer delineation of streams on-site prior to site plan
development in order to determine the extent and location of streams and buffers. Although
jurisdictional areas were avoided to the maximum extent practical Wake County requires the
subdivision road to extend to the property line which runs along an unnamed intermittent
channel to Lowery Creek The county is requiring, this road to be installed so that if the adjacent
property is developed some time in the future the two projects will have interconnectivity. The
client does not need this road to extend to the property line other than to meet the County's
requirement and subsequently receive the County's approval. The applicant plans to cross the
channel at an approximately perpendicular angle in order to minimize impact to the stream and
riparian buffer.
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,
Page 5 of 8
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/ncwetiands/strmgide.html.
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 iurisdictional areas have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable Impacts to
the creek are less than 150 linear feet and will be minimized b using headwalls and crossing
at a nearly perpendicular angle Moreover, mitigation typically is not required for
intermittent channels that are determined to be unimportant If mitigation is required the
applicant proposes payment into the NC-EEP.
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/wry/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
Page 6 of 8
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 [phone] 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
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .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.
Road Crossing (Exhibit B)
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 1,403 3 NA
2 1,045 1.5 NA
Total 2,448 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 teet perpendicular trom near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends 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.
Page 7 of 8
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.
Currently, there is no impervious acreage on the site. The proposed plan calls for the entire site
to have a total of no more than 15% impervious acreage (i.e. less than 30%)• therefore no
stormwater plan is attached for approval.
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.
The proposed subdivision will utilize conventional individual lot septic systems
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).

Subject: Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules
NBRRO 03-180
Rihani Property
S&EC #03-7666
Raleigh, Wake County, NC
Dear Mr. Suther:
This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determination made by S&EC at the subject
property referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 03-180.
On April 16, 2003, I conducted a site visit of features A and B involved in the above referenced
project as identified on the attached figures 1 and 2. It was determined that the features shown on the
Wake County Soil Survey, but absent on the USGS Grissom, NC Quad map could potentially be subject
to protection under the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A: 0213.0233 (NCAC .0233). Feature
A is subject throughout entire eastern property line. Feature B is subject at and below flag #01(start NBR).
This letter only addresses the applicability of the Neuse Buffer Rules. For information relevant
to 401 Water Quality Certifications, wetlands and other impacts to "waters of the state", please contact
the Central Office at 733-1786. (Note: if a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed, please be reminded
not to begin your project until the certification has been received.) Thank you for your attention to this
matter and if this office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate
to contact us.
Sincerely,
Deborah Edwards
