Za n,
When we reached out for the additional information requested,we discovered that the engineering firm/contractor was
unaware that the 401 permit had not been issued/needed. As a result of miscommunication, impacts associated with
the utility line installation on Block G were initiated on August 28, 2017 when the 404 permit was issued, and were
completed during the week of September 11, 2017. Attached is a photograph of the completed sewer line
installation. Utility installation on Block F has not occurred.
The client would like to continue with the 401 permit after-the-fact, in order to account for the unauthorized impacts on
Block G, and would like to continue pursuing the 401 permit for Block F. Please see the responses below:
1. Please provide a typical or construction sequence showing how the proposed work will meet General Condition
9 of Water Quality Certification 4086, which states that"all work in or adjacent to streams shall be conducted so
that the flowing stream does not come in contact with the disturbed area." [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3)]
A pump around system/apparatus will be used to divert flow during utility line installation on Block F.This
system incorporates the use of a temporary, impervious dike near the water intake area. Water will be collected
via an intake hose and pumped around the existing stream channel via a discharge hose. The impervious dike
used to capture water near the intake hose will be removed upon the completion of construction activities.
2. Figure 3.5 shows Class B rip rap installation for the stream crossing detail. The stabilization method in the
Project Description and Avoidance and Minimization sections of the PCN states, "the wetlands and stream bank
will be returned to pre-existing conditions after installation and will be stabilized with matting and seed". Please
update Figure 3.5 to reflect the proposed stabilization method description in the PCN or provide justification for
the use of rip rap on the streambank. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f) and (g)]
Attached is a revised Figure 3.5 with the requested information.
Please do not hesitate to contact us about this or let us know if a site visit is needed.
Thank you,
Kaylie
