Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse
River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with Additional Conditions
To Whom It May Concern:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
place fill within or otherwise impact 0.092 acres of wetlands, 66.4 feet of streams and 11,705
square feet (ft) of protected riparian buffers for the purpose of constructing a sewer system at
the subject property, as described within your application dated May 20, 2004 and received by
the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on June 17, 2004. After reviewing your application,
we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s)
3374 (GC3374). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 12 when issued by
the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your approved
Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0233.
In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and
Sediment Control and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your
proposed impacts or .,to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall
expire upon expiration of the 404 Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and
is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may
be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.

The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
Impacts Approved - The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other
specific and general conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No
other impacts are approved including incidental impacts:
Amount Approved
(Units) Plan Location or Reference
Stream 66.4 (feet) Impact Sites 1 & 3
404 Wetlands 0.092 (acres) Impact Site 2
Waters 0 (acres) -
Buffers 11,705 (square ft.) Impact Sites 1 & 3
2. Buffer Mitigation (EEP) - The sewer crossing at Impact Site 3 does not cross the stream and
buffers at a perpendicular angle (75 degrees to 105 degrees). As such, this use is designated
within the Neuse Buffer Rule as a "Non-electric utility line: Impacts other than perpendicular
crossings in Zone I" and is classified as "Allowable with Mitigation". As such, you are
required to mitigate for impacts to Zone 1 of the protected riparian buffers. The required area
of mitigation to compensate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers is 10,602 square feet
as required under this Authorization Certificate and 15A NCAC 2B .0242(buffer mitigation
rule). This required buffer mitigation was calculated by, multiplying the area of impact of Zone
1 (3,534 sf) by the required mitigation ratio (3:1).
You did not provide a mitigation plan with your application. However we believe that the best
option for this project to satisfy this mitigation requirement would be to make a payment into
the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund administered by the NC Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (EEP). This has been determined by the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the
mitigation requirement. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7)(buffer mitigation rule),
this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2B
.0233(10)(buffer protection rule). Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable
to: DENR - Ecosystem Enhancement Program Office), no impacts specified in this
Authorization Certificate shall occur. The EEP should be contacted at [phone] if you
have any questions concerning payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund. You have
one month from the date of this approval to make this payment. For accounting purposes,
this Authorization Certificate authorizes payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration
Fund to -compensate for 10;602 W of required riparian buffer mitigation for impacts to"'
3,534 ft2 of protected riparian buffers; 03-04-03 river and subbasin, 27-43-15-4.5 stream
index number.
If payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund is not acceptable to you, you may choose
to provide another suitable mitigation plan in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0242 (buffer
mitigation rule). Any other plan will need to be approved by the DWQ and implemented prior
to impacting the buffers approved under this Authorization Certificate.

3. Lots - Any lots subdivided after the effective date of the Neuse Buffer Rule (July 22, 1997)
associated with this subdivision will need to be developed in full compliance with the Neuse
Buffer Rule. These lots will most likely not be eligible for a Minor or Major Variance.
4. Water Quality Certification(s) - The proposed project must comply with all of the
conditions of General Water Quality Certification(s) (GC) 3374.
5. Sewer Systems - The project shall comply with 15A NCAC 2H.0219(i)(2)(G) and all other
State, Federal and local sewer system regulations.
6. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices - Erosion and sediment control practices must be in
full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation
and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the

b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion
control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified
in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Manual. The devices shall be maintained on ally construction sites, borrow sites, and
waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits
associated with the project.
7. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind - No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind
shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts
depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities, including the
design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best
Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
8. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters - Sediment and
erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters
is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of "
the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
9. Certificate of Completion - Upon completion of all work approved within the 401
Water Quality Certification or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent
modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion to
the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service

Dear Mr. Dorney,
The purpose of this letter is to respond to NC-DWQ's request that was received on May 20, 2004,
for more information regarding potential temporary impacts resulting from sewer line installation
associated with the proposed development at the Sunset Park PUD on Optimist Farm Road in
Holly Springs, NC.
In addition, we wish to clarify that the project referenced in this letter is actually for Phase 5, not
10A, and apologize for the confusion as a result of an error on our part during the application
process. Therefore we have enclosed a corrected copy of the PCN for this project, and we have
also enclosed a copy of the PCN and associated materials submitted for the actual Phase 10A,
located on the North side of Optimist Farm Road that was applied for on April 15, 2004.
On May 3, 2004, S&EC submitted a request to USACE and NC-DWQ for authorization to
temporarily impact 66.4 linear feet of stream channel, .092 acres of wetlands, and 5,338 square
feet of Zone 1 and 6,367 of Zone 2 buffer under Nationwide Permit 12 for a sewer crossing. In a
letter dated May 14, 2004, NC-DWQ requested that the sewer line be realigned to provide for a
more perpendicular crossing. Enclosed is a copy of the letter dated May 18, 2004 from the Project
Engineer explaining the sewer alignment and the constraints to changing the alignment. Please
call with any questions.

To Whom It May Concern:
On May 3, 2004, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application to impact 0.092 acres of wetlands, 66.4
feet of stream and 11,705 square feet (ft) of protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed sewer system at the
subject property. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information
as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected
wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information
requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 2B
.0233(8) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the
following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information:
1. Impact 3 - Please relocate the sewer line crossing at Impact 3 to cross the stream and buffers at a perpendicular
angle (75 to 105 degrees). It appears that this may be accomplished by connecting to manhole 24 or 25. If this is
not practicable, then please provide additional justification for the proposed alignment.
2. Sign & Date -Please provide this office with a signed and dated application.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing and Mr. Steve
Mitchell of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no
longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected
buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ.
Please call Mr. Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to
discuss this matter.

RE: Rocky Branch Outfall Extension, Holly Springs, North Carolina
Mr. Mitchell,
B&F Consulting, Inc. received information today from Mr. Walter Cole of S&EC that you would
prefer the alignment of the 15" sewer outfall along Rocky Branch in Holly Springs (located adjacent
to Sunset Oaks Subdivision, Phase 5) to cross Rocky Branch at a more perpendicular location.
I concur that your suggested alignment is more desirable with respect to the crossing of the Neuse
River Buffer. However, this alignment involves an adjacent property owner that is not amenable to
geating any easements to my client. Xhe alignment you reviewed is, I believe, the best available with
my client's property and that of a friendly adjoining property owner..
For these reasons, we request that you approve the plays that show the crossing as they are now.
Please feel free to contact me at 618-0180 with any questions you may have. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Buffer Confirmation on May 7, 2003 (NBR 03-099). A copy of Mr. Mitchell's letter is attached.
USACE jurisdictional determination has been requested, but is still pending, and a site meeting
with Ms. Jennifer Burdette was conducted on April 29, 2004. Impacts for Sunset Oaks Phase 1
have been permitted (NCDWQ Project# 03-0763 and USACE Action ID # 200321005/006) a
conv of both of which are attached.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
Future phases are anticipated for this project however, plans for these phases do not exist at this
time.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
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
Page 3 of 8
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
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: Temporary impacts resulting in the
construction of the sewer line consist of 0.092 acres of wetlands, 66.4 linear feet of perennial
stream channel, 5,338 sq. ft. of Zone 1 buffer, and 6,367 sq. ft. of Zone 2 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 htip://www.feina.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: Unknown waiting
on survey of wetland delineation for total acreage of wetlands on-site.
Total area of wetland impact proposed: 0.092 acres
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.aov. Several intemet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mapquest.com, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: 66.4
4. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic
Ocean and any other water of the U.S.) below:

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
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 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 (0.10 acre). The sewer alignment/crossing (Impacts 1-3) the
applicant is proposing involves installing a sanitary sewer interceptor, and if the sewer line had
been aligned differently, a much deeper outfall would be needed because of the steep topography
and would therefore would create a much greater impact as well as resulting in an outfall that is
too deep to be practical. The applicant will install the proposed sanitary sewer and will restore
wetlands in accordance with the conditions of Nationwide Permit 12 and the USACE's regional
conditions
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.
Page 5 of 8
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
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.
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.
Zone* Impact Multiplier Required
(square feet) Mitigation
Sewer Line
Impact 1 1 1804 1.5 NA
(temporary)
2 1630 3 NA
Sewer Line
Impact 3 1 3534 1.5 NA
(temporary)
2 4737 3 NA
totals 11,705
* Zone I 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
Page 7 of 8
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
Because current NC-DWQ policy classifies Zone 2 parallel utility line impacts as an
"allowable" activity where justified, S&EC believes mitigation should not be required.
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.
Because the percent impervious surface will be less than 30% following construction of the
proposed project, we do not believe a pre-approved stormwater treatment plan should be required
from NC-DWQ, however, a stormwater plan has been approved duringprevious permit
submittals.
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.
Non-discharge - Sewer
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

Subject: 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 15A:2B.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.
Sincerely,
Steve Mitchell

RE: Nationwide Permit 12 & 14/401 Water Quality Certification/Buffer Compliance Request
Olive Tract/Sunset Park Planned Unit Development Project; Phase l0A
Holly Springs, Wake County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 6913.01
Dear Mr. Dorney and Ms. Burdette:
On behalf of Bryan properties Inc, (property owner) we hereby request authorization from the US
Army Corps of Engineers to use Nationwide Permits 12 and 14 to cover temporary and
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 12 and 14 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 l0A incorporates approximately 15.5 acres. Please refer to the attached USGS
topographic 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
of Mr. 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.
The proposed road, (Impact 4) which is necessary to provide access to the proposed residential
development, will permanently impact 0.029 acres of wetlands. The proposed sewer line
(Impacts 1,2,3, & 5) will temporarily impact 0.162 acres of wetlands, and approximately 2,194
square feet of Zone 2 of the riparian buffer.
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 road crossing
(Impact 4) is needed to provide access to the property from Optimist Farm Road to the north.
Because the applicant has minimized impacts by aligning the crossing to avoid larger wetlands to
the east, and because the applicant has no choice but to construct the crossing to access the
northern portions of the property, S&EC believes further compensatory mitigation should not be
required by the USACE. The sewer alignment/crossing (Impacts 1,2,3 & 5) the applicant is
proposing involves installing a gravity sewer line and the routing was chosen due to topographic
constraints. The applicant will install the proposed sanitary sewer in accordance with the
conditions of Nationwide Permit 12, NCDWQ water quality certification conditions, and the
USACE's regional conditions.
NC-DWQ's current policy does not require wetland or stream mitigation for stream channel
impacts below 1 acre and 150 linear feet per project. Because the total cumulative permanent
impacts to channels are less than 150 feet, we believe that neither wetland nor stream mitigation
should be required by NC-DWQ. Also, the proposed project will result in less than 30%
impervious surface according to the project engineer, and therefore we do not believe a pre-
approved stormwater treatment plan is necessary for the site. A stormwater management plan and
associated calculations to satisfy the NC-DWQ requirements for diffuse flow will be provided by
the project engineer under separate cover.

Walter Cole

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 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 10 acre) The proposed road crossing (Impact 4) is needed to
provide access to the property from Optimist Farm Road to the north Because the applicant has
minimized impacts by aligning the crossing to avoid larger wetlands to the east and because the
applicant has no choice but to construct the crossing to access the northern portion of the
property S&EC believes further compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE.
The sewer alignment/crossing (impacts 1 2 3 & 5) we are proposing involves installing a gravity
sewer line and the routing was chosen due to topographic The applicant will install the
proposed sanitary sewer in accordance with the conditions of Nationwide Pennit 12, NCDWQ
water quality certification conditions and the USACE's regional conditions.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
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:/ih2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/stnngide.htmi.
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.
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
Page 6 of 9
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
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 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 213 .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.

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 213.0242 or.0260.
NA - because the proposed permanent riparian buffer impacts for the proposed road crossing are
less than 1/3 acre individually and cumulatively S&EC believes riparian buffer mitigation
should not be required As previously noted topographic constraints necessitate installation of
the proposed gravity sewer line in portions of Zone 2 Because current NC-DWQ policy
classifies Zone 2 parallel utility line impacts as an "allowable" activity where justified, S&EC
believes mitigation should not be required
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.
Because the percent impervious surface will be less than 30% following construction of the
proposed proiect we do not believe a pre-approved stormwater treatment plan should be required
from NC DWQ The attached plan depicts the strommwater collection system proposed by the
project engineer. Level spreaders will be used at discharge points to achieve diffuse flow of
stormwater into the buffers.
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.
Non discharge - Individual 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
Page 8 of 9
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).

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 15A:2B.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.
Sincerely,
Steve Mitchell

1. Permittee shall install in-stream silt curtain weighted at the bottom, and stringent bank erosion
control. If tree removal is required, stumps and roots should remain intact for bank stabilization.
2. Permittee shall initiate in-stream construction activities only during low flow conditions that allow
for the effective deployment of the silt curtain.
3. Permittee shall install silt fences and temporary check dams at all stream crossings to be removed
following completion of the activity and proper stabilization of disturbed soils within the work
area.
4. Permittee shall seed wetland areas with wetland seed mixture only. Species selection shall be
subject to Corps approval.
Regional Conditions
For all NWPs that involve construction of culverts, measures will be included in the construction that will
promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. For all culvert construction activities, the
dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream, (above and below a pipe or culvert), should not be modified
by widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream. Culvert inverts will be buried at
least one foot below the bed of the stream for culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter. For culverts 48
inches in diameter or smaller, culverts must be buried below the bed of the stream to a depth equal to or
greater than 20 percent of the diameter of the culvert.

To Whom It May Concem:
On May 3, 2004, the Division of Water Quality (DWG) received your application to impact 0.092 acres of wetlands, 66.4
feet of stream and 11,705 square feet (ft) of protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed sewer system at the
subject property- The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information
as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected
wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information
requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 213
_0233(8) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the
following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information:
1. Impact 3 -Please relocate the sewer line crossing at Impact 3 to cross the stream and buffers at a perpendicular
angle (75 to 105 degrees). It appears that this maybe accomplished by connecting to manhole 24 or 25. If this is
not practicable, then please provide additional justification for the proposed alignment.
2. Sign & Date -- Please provide this office with a signed and dated application.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing and Mr. Steve
Mitchell of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no
longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected
buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ.
Please call Mr. Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726 N you have any questions*iegardirig or would like to set-Up a meeting to

Because current NC-DWQ policy classifies Zone, 2 RaralleI utility line impacts as an
"allowable" activity where Lustified S&EC believes mitigation should not be required.
X1, 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-
Because the percent impervious surface will be less than 30% following construction of the
proposed project we do not believe a pre-approved stormwater treatment plan should be required
from NC DWQ, however, a stormwater plan has been approved during previous permit
submittals.

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to subunit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may

To Whom It May Concern:
On May 3, 2004, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application to impact 0.092 acres of wetlands, 66.4
feet of stream and 11,705 square feet (ft2) of protected riparian buffers to construct the proposed sewer system at the
subject property. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information
as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected
wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information
requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 2B
.0233(8) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the
following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information:
1. Impact 3 - Please relocate the sewer line crossing at Impact 3 to cross the stream and buffers at a perpendicular
angle (75 to 105 degrees). It appears that this may be accomplished by connecting to manhole 24 or 25. If this is
not practicable, then please provide additional justification for the proposed alignment.
2. Sign & Date - Please provide this office with a signed and dated application.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing and Mr. Steve
Mitchell of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume that you no
longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected
buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ.
Please call Mr. Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to
discuss this matter.

RE: Nationwide Permit 12 & 401 Water Quality Certification/Buffer Compliance Request
Olive Tract/Sunset Park Planned Unit Development Project - Sewer Line
Holly Springs, Wake County, North Carolina WETLANDS 1401 GROUP
S&EC Project #: 6913.01
MAY 0 11, 7004
Dear Mr. Dorsey 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 12 to cover temporary impacts to wetlands
and channels, (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 Permit 12 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. Please refer to the attached USGS topographic map and the 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 of Mr.
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 project consists of the installation of approximately 1300 feet of sanitary sewer line
resulting in temporary impacts to wetlands, channels, and buffers. Typical heavy equipment
associated with sewer construction will be used for this project. Temporary impacts resulting in
the construction of the sewer line consist of 0.092 acres of wetlands, 66.4 linear feet of perennial
stream channel, 5,338 sq. ft. of Zone 1 buffer, and 6,367 sq. ft. of Zone 2 buffer.
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 permanent 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 sewer
alignment/crossing (Impacts 1-3) the applicant is proposing involves installing a sanitary sewer
interceptor along a deeded easement. If the sewer line had been aligned differently, a much
deeper outfall would be needed because of the steep topography and would therefore would
create a much greater impact as well as resulting in an outfall that is too deep to be practical.
The applicant will install the proposed sanitary sewer and will restore wetlands in accordance
with the conditions of Nationwide Permit 12 and the USACE's regional conditions.
Sincerely,
Walter Cole

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 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 (0.10 acre). The sewer alignment/crossing (Impacts 1-3) the
applicant is proposing involves installing a sanitary sewer interceptor, and if the sewer line had
been aligned differently, a much deeper outfall would be needed because of the steep topography
and would therefore would create a much greater impact as well as resulting in an outfall that is
too deep to be practical The applicant will install the proposed sanitary sewer and will restore
wetlands in accordance with the conditions of Nationwide Permit 12 and the USACE's regional
conditions
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.
? wetlands
installation of
Page 5 of 9
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 ininimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
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/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.
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 213 .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify V
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.

totals 11,705
* Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near hank of channel; Gone 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
Page 7 of 8
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0260.
Because current NC-DWQ policy classifies Zone 2 parallel utility line impacts as an
"allowable" activity where justified S&EC believes mitigation should not be required.
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.
Because the percent impervious surface will be less than 30% following construction of the
proposed project we do not believe ire-approved stormwater treatment plan should be required
from NC-DWQ however, a stormwater plan has been approved during previous permit
submittals.
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.
Non-discharge - Sewer
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).

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 15A:2B.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.
Sincerely,
Steve Mitchell
