Re: Nationwide Permit #18 Pre -Construction Notification
Ephesus Church Road Sidewalk Installation

On behalf of the Town of Chapel Hill (Client), Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) requests verification of a
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit #18 (Minor Discharges) pursuant to 33 CFR
(13)(18) for impacts to a single jurisdictional stream channel related to the installation of a sidewalk along
Ephesus Church Road. We are pleased to submit the enclosed Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) and
supporting documentation (Appendices A -C) for your review.
The purpose of the project is to provide dedicated pedestrian sidewalks along the eastbound and
westbound directions of Ephesus Church Road from Pinehurst Drive to Pope Road totaling 0.43 miles. No
wetlands occur within the project area, and the work will require impacts to a single stream channel. (i.e.,
waters of the U.S.) and the associated stream buffer. Impacts will be minimized to the maximum extent
practicable.
The installation of the sidewalks will require modification to one existing culverted stream crossing. The
existing 42 -inch pipe underneath Ephesus Church Road will be extended south of the road by an
additional 20 feet to make room for the new sidewalk, and 30 linear feet (462 square feet) of rip -rap
apron will be placed below the pipe opening to dissipate flow energy (Appendix A: Sheets 3 and 4). This
will result in a total of 50 linear feet (4.4 cubic yards fill below OHWM) of permanent impacts. Stream flow
will be temporarily diverted during construction using the pump around technique by installing two
temporary dikes in the channel and pumping water around the work area. One dike will be placed north
of Ephesus Church Road and one will be placed just south of the construction area. An outtake hose will
be fed from the pump through the existing culvert and the water will be discharged just south of the
proposed rip -rap apron, resulting in approximately 10 linear feet of temporary stream impacts. The dikes,
pump, and outtake hose will be removed once construction is completed.

The stream is also subject to Jordan Lake Buffer regulations. Approximately 258 square feet of the rip -rap
will permanently impact Zone A of the buffer. A 15" diameter pipe will connect to a roadside drop inlet
and will be routed underground to the proposed rip -rap apron. This will result in 23 square feet of
temporary impacts to Zone 1 and 48 square feet of temporary impacts to Zone 2. Placement of heavy
equipment throughout the project area to install the 42 -inch pipe extension and the 15 -inch pipe will
result in 2,961 square feet of temporary impacts to Zone 1 and 2,174 square feet of temporary impacts to
Zone 2. Total temporary impacts to the stream buffer will consist of 2,984 square feet to Zone 1 and
2,222 square feet to Zone 2. Disturbed soil will be graded and leveled once construction is completed.
Erosion and sediment control will be implemented during construction using silt fencing, temporary
skimmer basins, and silt bags. Due to the minimal impacts of the project to wetlands, streams, and stream
buffers we believe compensatory mitigation is not required.
All wetlands and waters of the U.S. have been delineated along the project length of Ephesus Church
Road, and a confirmation request was submitted to the U.S. Army of the Corps of Engineers (USACE) in
March 2017 (Appendix B). To meet the conditions of the Nationwide Permit regarding listed species, an
official species list was obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service IPaC online search, which indicated
the potential presence of Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxit) and smooth coneflower (Echinacea loevigata).
A qualified VHB biologist performed a survey for these listed plants in the project area in 2017, and no
individuals were found. Results of the IPaC and RTE plant surveys are provided in Appendix C.
Lastly, the project area has incurred disturbances from past construction for the roadway and a powerline
easement. VHB believes the level of soil disturbance in the past has all but eliminated the likelihood of
cultural resources being found. Furthermore, VHB knows of no historic structures in the immediate
vicinity of the project area; all of the nearby structures appear to be mid to late 201h century houses.
Upon review, should you have any questions regarding the proposed project, please feel free to contact
me at 757.279.2835 or via email to kdrambyPvhb.com. We look forward to working with you through the
permit review process.
Sincerely,

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The project area consists of an existing road (Ephesus Church Road) with curb and gutter and grassy road shoulders.
Immediately adjacent to the southern edge of the right of way is an overhead powerline easement. The road right of way
is bordered by residential lots in a suburban area of the town.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
N/A — No wetlands on site
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Approximately 60 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Installation of pedestrian sidewalks along the eastbound and westbound edge of Ephesus Church Road.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project seeks to install pedestrian sidewalks along both travel directions next to Ephesus Church Road from
Pinehurst Drive to Pope Road. The sidewalk along the southern side of the road will cross over and impact one 3' wide
stream in Durham County determined to be perennial by the Town of Chapel Hill staff. The existing 42" pipe underneath
Ephesus Church Road will be extended 20 feet south of the road to make room for the eastbound sidewalk, and a rip rap
apron will be installed on the downstream side of the pipe opening to dissipate flow energy. This will result in 50 linear
feet (4.4 cubic yards below OHWM— 50' length x 3' width x 0.8' depth) of permanent impacts. Streamflow will be
temporarily diverted during construction using the pump around technique. Two temporary dikes will be placed within the
stream channel; one will be placed on the north side of Ephesus Church Road (determined to have intermittent flow) and
the other just south of the proposed rip rap apron (determined to have perennial flow). An outtake hose from the pump
will be installed through the existing culvert and the stream water will be discharged just south of work area into the
stream channel. Temporary impacts will amount to approximately 10 linear feet of stream channel (5 linear feet for each
dike). Once the new sidewalk is constructed over the culvert extension, the dikes and outtake hose will be removed and
areas restored to original contours.
Permanent stream impacts will occur only for the sidewalk next to the eastbound lase of Ephesus Church Road. An
Erosion and Sediment control plan has been prepared by Ramey Kemp Associates on behalf of the Town of Chapel Hill.
The E&S plan will be implemented before, during, and after construction.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Fill is necessary for the construction of the new sidewalk. Impacts cannot be avoided in order to lay down the culvert
extension and rip rap apron. Impacts are minimized to only those necessary for the sidewalk installation and stability of
the stream channel.
b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The contractor will avoid any disturbance to the stream channel beyond the proposed impact area within the right of way.
Equipment will be stationed on stable ground vegetated with grasses and other herbaceous plants. All efforts will be
made to protect woody vegetation as much as possible. Construction will adhere to a sedimentation and erosion control
plan overseen by the Town of Chapel Hill. Once equipment leaves the site, the area will be seeded with stabilizing
vegetation.

Subject: Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination for the Ephesus Church Road Sidewalk
Addition for the Town of Chapel Hill, Orange and Durham Counties, NC.
Dear Ms. Dailey:
On behalf of the Town of Chapel Hill, VHB is providing the enclosed Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination Request Package for the Ephesus Church Road Sidewalk project. The study area
is completely within the Ephesus Church Road right of way (Figure 1), and will not involve
private properties.
The project study area contains one stream (SA) within a drainage way found on White Store
Sandy Loam soils (Figure 2) on the south side of Ephesus Church Road. No wetlands were
identified within the study area (Figure 3). This study area contains mostly maintained
residential yards extending into the ROW with a few upland areas naturally vegetated and
irregularly maintained. Stream SA is a perennial stream on the south side of the road within the
study area, as determined by staff from the Town of Chapel Hill, with minimal aquatic function.
Upstream of the study area on the north side of the road (just outside the study area), Stream
SA is a concrete lined intermittent stream channel. Within the study area on the south side of
the road, it appears that rip rap was placed in the stream from previous disturbance, possibly
from the nearby sewer line. This stream is a tributary within the Jordan Lake watershed, which
is part of the Cape Fear River Basin. At the time of site visit, water was flowing slowly in the
channel. The stream is not displayed on the USGS Quadrangle map, but it is displayed on the
Durham County Soil Survey.
If you deem this stream to be Waters of the U.S., we would request that no mitigation be
required for any impacts to this stream due to its minimal aquatic function. See attached data
sheets and field photographs for more information. NCDWR Stream Forms were completed by
the Town of Chapel Hill staff. The USACE Stream Form was completed by VHB staff.

3e.
Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Installation of pedestrian sidewalks along the eastbound and westbound edge of Ephesus Church Road.
3f.
Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project seeks to install pedestrian sidewalks along both travel directions next to Ephesus Church Road
from Pinehurst Drive to Pope Road. The sidewalk along the southern side of the road will cross over and
impact one 3' wide stream in Durham County determined to be perennial by the Town of Chapel Hill staff.
The existing 42" pipe underneath Ephesus Church Road will be extended 20 feet south of the road to make
room for the eastbound sidewalk, and a rip rap apron will be installed on the downstream side of the pipe
opening to dissipate flow energy. This will result in 50 linear feet (4.4. cubic yards below OHWM — 50' length
x 3' width x 0.8' depth) of permanent impacts. Streamflow will be temporarily diverted during construction
using the pump around technique. Two temporary dikes will be placed within the stream channel; one will be
placed on the north side of Ephesus Church Road (determined to have intermittent flow) and the other just
south of the proposed rip rap apron (determined to have perennial flow). An outtake hose from the pump will
be installed through the existing culvert and the stream water will be discharged just south of work area into
the stream channel. Temporary impacts will amount to approximately 10 linear feet of stream channel (5
linear feet for each dike). Once the new sidewalk is constructed over the culvert extension, the dikes and
outtake hose will be removed and areas restored to original contours.
Permanent stream impacts will occur only for the sidewalk next to the eastbound lane of Ephesus Church
Road. An Erosion and Sediment control plan has been prepared by Ramey Kemp Associates on behalf of the
Town of Chapel Hill. The E&S plan will be implemented before, during, and after construction.

B1: Rip rap apron installation. Rip rap apron is 462 sq. ft; 204 sq. ft. of area results in permanent stream impacts,
leaving 258 sq. ft. of buffer impacts.
62: A new 15" diameter pipe will be installed from a drop inlet to the new rip rap apron. Stormwater runoff will be
collected in the drop inlet and directed to the stream channel. The pipe will be 64' long. Two trees in the
buffer will need to be removed. A temporary silt bag will be installed in the buffer area for the water diversion
pump around.
133: Movement of construction equipment throughout the project area may result in temporary impacts to
grassy/herbaceous roadside vegetation.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Fill is necessary for the construction of the new sidewalk. Impacts cannot be avoided in order to lay down the
culvert extension and rip rap apron. Impacts are minimized to only those necessary for the sidewalk
installation and stability of the stream channel.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques.
The contractor will avoid any disturbance to the stream channel beyond the proposed impact area within the
right of way. Equipment will be stationed on stable ground vegetated with grasses and other herbaceous
plants. All efforts will be made to protect woody vegetation as much as possible. Construction will adhere to
a sedimentation and erosion control plan overseen by the Town of Chapel Hill. Once equipment leaves the
site, the area will be seeded with stabilizing vegetation.
2. Buffer Mitigation
2a. Will the project result in an impact within a protected riparian buffer that
❑ Yes ® No
requires buffer mitigation?
2b. If yes, then identify the square feet of impact to each zone of the riparian buffer that requires mitigation and
calculate the amount of mitigation required in the table below.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not
necessarily been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for
later jurisdictional determinations.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 301- Comments:

This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and Environmental professionals in
gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream
quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change - version 06/03. To Comment, please call 919-876-8441 x 26.

Project Name: Ephesus Church Road Sidewalks
March 09, 2018
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

03/09/2018 Event Code: 04EN2000-2018-E-00988
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws. og_v/mi2ratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 2 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list. Species on
this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that
exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because
a project could affect downstream species. See the "Critical habitats" section below for those
critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's
jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions.

Memorandum
The Town of Chapel Hill is proposing sidewalks along Ephesus Church Road from Sharon Road to Pope Road (SR
1113) in Orange and Durham Counties, North Carolina. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three
threatened and endangered species for Orange and Durham Counties; Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii), smooth
coneflower (Echinoceo laevigata), and dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonto heterodon). The bald eagle (Halioeetus
leucocepholus) is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The bald eagle and dwarf wedgemussel
were addressed in a previous report. The rusty -patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis), previously listed as endangered
for Durham County, has been removed from the list for Durham County. No action is needed for this species. VHB
conducted site visits on January 19, 2017 and found potential habitat for the endangered Michaux's sumac and
smooth coneflower in areas along the project corridor, necessitating a survey for both species during the USFWS-
recommended optimal survey windows (May -October for both).
Michaux's sumac
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: May -October
Habitat Description: Michaux's sumac, endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont, grows in sandy or
rocky, open, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral, well -drained sands or sandy loam soils with low cation
exchange capacities. The species is also found on sandy or submesic loamy swales and depressions in the fall
line Sandhills region as well as in openings along the rim of Carolina bays; maintained railroad, roadside,
power line, and utility rights-of-way; areas where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and/or
storm damage; small wildlife food plots; abandoned building sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or
pine/hardwood canopies; and in and along edges of other artificially maintained clearings undergoing natural
succession. In the central Piedmont, it occurs on clayey soils derived from mafic rocks. The plant is shade
intolerant and, therefore, grows best where disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic fire)
maintains its open habitat.
Smooth coneflower
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: late May -October
Habitat Description: Smooth coneflower, a perennial herb, is typically found in meadows, open woodlands, the
ecotonal regions between meadows and woodlands, cedar barrens, dry limestone bluffs, clear cuts, and
roadside and utility rights-of-way. In North Carolina, the species normally grows in magnesium- and calcium -
rich soils associated with gabbro and diabase parent material, and typically occurs in Iredell, Misenheimer, and
Picture soil series. It grows best where there is abundant sunlight, little competition in the herbaceous layer,
and periodic disturbances (e.g., regular fire regime, well-timed mowing, careful clearing) that prevents

encroachment of shade -producing woody shrubs and trees. On sites where woody succession is held in
check, it is characterized by a number of species with prairie affinities.
VHB Senior Environmental Scientist, Rachelle Beauregard, conducted a survey for Michaux's sumac and smooth
coneflower along the project corridor on May 29, 2017. The survey area included areas within the slope stake limits
and easement lines shown on the 25% plans dated 1/31/17. Much of the area within the project limits is highly
maintained residential yards. These areas do not contain habitat for these species. Vegetation in some areas not
regularly maintained were too dense and tall to provide habitat for these species. Some habitat exists in areas that are
fairly open and not regularly maintained. These areas were surveyed on foot. No Michaux's sumac or smooth
coneflower were found.
A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Database (dated April 2017) indicated an Element Occurrence (EO) of
smooth coneflower within 500 feet of the project. This is a historical record, last observed in 1992. This occurrence was
along Nottingham Road. During the site visit on May 29, this EO was not found. It appears that development at the
previous EO site has occurred in recent years, perhaps resulting in a localized extirpation.
Based on the fact that no Michaux's sumac or smooth coneflower was found during the survey, and the documented
record of smooth coneflower was not found, it is VHB's professional opinion that this project will have No Effect on
these species.
