DENR - WATER OUALP
WETLANDS AND VORt y ATER BRAN01
Enclosed are five copies of a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Permit Application Package for the City of
Raleigh Franklin Street Sanitary Sewer Aerial Replacement project. For your review we have enclosed the
following:
• Five copies of the PCN Application Form
• Five copies of the Stream and Buffer Impacted Areas Drawing
• Five copies of USGS Map, Soils Map, NC Floodplain and FEMA map
• $240.00 application fee
The project titled "Franklin Street Sanitary Sewer Aerial Replacement" comprises sanitary sewer improvements
to an existing aerial that has the potential for failure.
The construction described in this permit application results in approximately 1,200 square feet of Zone 1 buffer
impact and 800 square feet of Zone 2 buffer disturbance. All of the disturbances are allowed because this is the
replacement of an existing sanitary sewer line within the existing easement.
Please contact me with any questions regarding this project.
Sincerely,
Dewberry & Davis, Inc.

The replacement has been designed to disturb the minimal amount of area required to install the line. The area will be
returned to existing grade once the sanitary sewer is installed. The disturbed buffers will be re-vegetated immediately upon
completion of the project.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Contractor will minimize impacts to area by confining work area to limits of sanitary sewer easement and using erosion control
devices.
