After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 which can be viewed on our web site at http://h20.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certifications, as well as the additional conditions listed below: 1.

IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional detenninations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ill Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful infonnation. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. Wetlands delineation for this proiect was perfonned by S&ME, Inc. in November of2001. This delineation was verified by Mr. Todd Tugwell of the U.S. Anny Corps an onsite meeting in early June of 2002 (Action ID#200220916). Sometime in June, Proiect Homestead filled 0.8 acres of wetlands in order to site several homes. Soon after June 25th, DWQ and the Corps received post- construction notification of 0.8-acres of wetland fill from S&ME on behalf of Proiect Homestead. A peN request for 0.2334-acres of fill was then submitted to both agencies on September 10, 2002. A 404 permit authorizing the fill of 0.2334-acres of wetlands on the property was issued on October 24, 2002, However, DWQ placed the proiect (DWQ #02-472) on administrative hold due to lack of information. The previous owner, Proiect Homestead. was unwilling or unable to comply with DWQ's request for infomlation. According to Rob Ridings (Environmental Tech. IV - DWQ), the DWQ Wetlands Unit posts the retraction date of this pemlit as January 8, 2003. Wetlands restoration credits were requested from the WRP on behalf of the client, and Proiect Homestead was invoiced by the WRP for 0.5-acres (2:1) bottomland wetlands restoration credits in the amount of $6,000 on February 18, 2004 - this invoice voided a previous invoice based on a 1: 1 ratio issued on November 30, 2002. Mr. King, representing Proiect Homestead, declined to participate in the program. A letter reminding Mr. King of his Page 3 0[9 obligations to make payment to the WRP was sent from the desk of Jean Manuele with the Raleigh Regional Office of the Coms on Febmary 24, 2004. S&ME, now representing Wachovia, was only recently made aware of this letter during correspondence with Carol Shaw of the EEP. The current opportunity for restoration purchase from the WRP/EEP remains valid and is the means through which Wachovia wishes to satisfy their mitigation requirements/ recommendations, V. Future Project Plans Are any future pem1it requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application: No future pennit requests anticipated, this is the build-out phase of the proiect. VI. Proposed Impacts to 'Vaters of the United Statcs/'Vaters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to detem1ine, 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 (intennittent and perelmial) must be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation fom1s 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: There are pre-exiting impacts to pond- bottom wetlands on this site in the amount of approximately 0.08-acres. These impacts occurred while the property was owned by Proiect Homestead. The new owner, Wachovia, requests pcm1ission to fill an additional 0.I5-acre of degraded, pond bottom wetlands, in order to provide safe housing for the future residents of this community. 2.

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 internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g" www.topozone.com, www.mJPCluest.eolll, cte,), * Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: N/ A 4.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide infonnation 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. Wachovia has acquired these partially constructed homes as part of a default from loans on the part of Proiect Homestead which is in bankruptcy" Many of the homes have extensive water damage from poorly constructed lot drainage and many more have been nearly destroyed by vandalism and squatters. There are several complications on the site affecting the salability of the homes, to include a sewer line that has been constructed above grade and a row of houses along the pond-bottom wetland area that arc built iust to the edge of a steep grade with no backyards. These qualities, along with the appearance ofthc degraded, pond-bottom wetland areas at the toe of the slopes behind the homes, make these particular homes especially unattractive to buyers and unsafe for habitation. 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 Pennits, 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 detennining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing thc size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. Page G 0[9 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 Teclmical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h20.enr,state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm gi d e. htm I. 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. N/A 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 40l/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h20.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 infonnation: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/ A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/ A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0.50-acres Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A IX. Environmcntal Documcntation (DWQ Only) Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local) land? Yes D No X If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEP A/SEP A)?

Proposed Impacts on Riparian and \Vatershed Buffers (D\VQ Only) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to detennine, delineate and map all impacts to required s tate and local buffers associated with the project. T he applicant must a Iso 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 N/ A )? Yes D No K- If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. U buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact Multiplier Required (square feet) Mitigation 1 3 2 1.5 Total * Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone J. 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. N/A XI. Stormwater (D\VQ Only) Describe impervious acreage (both eXlstmg and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stonnwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. The total acreage of the site is approximately 7.57-acres. Both existing and pronosed BUA is as follows: Streets and Sidewalks (42,1 07sq. feet)) and Single Family Lots (28 lots x 2,000 sq. feet each - 56,000 sq. feet); for a total of 97,1 07 sq, feet (2.23-acres) BUA. This results in a BUA of Page 8 of9 29.46% of total area within this development. Stormwater controls are curb and gutter with dissipated outflow. Stormwater outflows are not directed into stream or wetlands areas. Plans have been approved by the City of Greensboro, XII.
