Olive Tract/Sunset Park Planned Unit Development Project; Phase I ~Lot Fill
Holly Springs, Wake County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 6913.01

WETLANDS /401 GROUP

MAY I) n 2004

Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Burdette:

WATER QUALITY SECTION

On behalf of Bryan properties Inc, (property owner) we hereby request authorization from the US
Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permit 39 to cover permanent impacts to wetlands
(see attached impact maps). We also request written concurrence from the NC Division of Water
Quality (NC-DWQ) that the project complies with the 401 Water Quality Certification associated
with Nationwide Permits 39 and the Neuse River Basin buffer rules. A Pre-construction
Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as well as an agent authorization form.

The proposed project consists of residential housing development and is located on the north side
of Optimist Farm Road (SR 1390), west of the intersection of Optimist Farm Road and Pierce-
Olive Road (SR 1389) and approximately 4000 feet east of the intersection of Optimist Farm
Road and Sunset lake Road (SR 1301). The project site is approximately 328 acres in size
overall, and Phase 1 incorporates approximately 20 acres. Please refer to the attached USGS
topographic map and Wake County soil survey map for the location of the project. A detailed
delineation was performed by S&EC and Mr. Steve Mitchell of the NC-DWQ conducted a site
visit and determined that the stream features on property are subject to the buffer rules as
indicated on the attached site plan. A copy ofMr. Mitchell's buffer confirmation letter issued
May 7,2003 is attached. In addition, previous impacts to Phase 1 of this project have been
permitted by the USACE and NCDWQ and a copy of both is attached. Ms. Jennifer Burdette of

the USACE conducted a site visit on April 29, 2004 to confirm the wetland delineation, however
a signed delineation is still pending.

The proposed lot fill placement (Impact 1), which is necessary to provide access to the proposed
residential development, will permanently impact 0.041 acres of wetlands.

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 requirements for
notification (0.10 acre) or if a discharge any open waters is proposed. The proposed lot fill
placement is needed to provide access from the road to the development and because the wetland
area to the south, which attaches to this wetland area has already been impacted by a previously
permitted road crossing, S&EC believes further compensatory mitigation should not be required
by the USACE. The applicant will install the proposed lot fill in accordance with the conditions
of Nationwide Permit 39, NCDWQ water quality certification conditions, and the USACE's
regional conditions.

Sincerely, ./C'

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 USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream
channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require further compensatory
mitigation to offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when proposed impacts exceed the
requirements for notification (0.1 0 acre). The proposed lot fill (Impact I) is needed to provide
access to the property from the proposed road, and in addition, this wetland has already been
impacted by road construction, which was previously permitted. The applicant will act in
accordance with the conditions of Nationwide Permit 39, NCDWQ water quality certification
conditions, and the USACE's regional conditions.

VIII. Mitigation

DWQ - In accordance with l5A 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

Page 5 ofR

mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h20.enr.state.nc. us/ncwetlands/ strm,gide.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.
NA

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

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 D No [gI
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPAlSEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEP A/SEP A document is required, call the SEP A
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes D No D

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

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

Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules
NBR 03-099
Olive Farm Tract
Project No. 02-6913
Wake County

Dear Mr. Martin:

I have reviewed the information submitted for the project referenced by the Raleigh Regional
Office as NBR 03-099. An evaluation of the stream features present on the property was
completed to determine whether or not the site would require compliance with the Neuse River
Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code 15A2B .0233.

The features represented on the Wake County Soils and the Apex USGS topographic maps were
evaluated and it was determined that there are several features present on this property as
streams. The preliminary wetland and buffer evaluation plat (attached) identifies and delineates
those features that are streams and therefore subject.

This letter addresses only those issues involving the delineation of the riparian area. For
information relative to stream and/or buffer impacts, 401/404, or wetland issues, please contact
Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office
can be of any other assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-571-4700,
