STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATTON PAT MCCRORY GOVERNOR US Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office Attn: Mr. Andy Williams 3331 Heritage Trade Dr., Ste. 105 Wake Forest, NC 27587 ANTHONY J. TATA SECRCTARY November 6, 2013 NC Division of Water Resources Winston-Salem Regional Office Attn: Ms. Sue Homewood 585 Waughtown St. Winston-Salem, NC 27107 R�: Sediment Removal on Westdale Acres Drive, UT to Polecat Creek, Guilford County; NC DOT Project No. 7.20411B Dear Mr. Williams and Ms. Homewood: The North Carolina Depai�tment of Transportation (NC DOT) is proposes to remove accumulated sediment from a UT to Polecat Creek. The sediment is mostly sand and is causing a blockage of a tr�iple barrel culvert on Westdale Acres Drive. The accumulated sand is restricting stream flow which then backs the water up during high storm flows, threatening to flood the nearby residences. The NC DOT is requesting written concunence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that the activities proposed below may proceed under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3& 33 and General Water Quality Ceitifications (GC) 3883 & 3893. Please contact Mr. Jerry Parker at (336) 256-2063 if you have any questions or require additional information.

River basin: Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030003) 3. Project Descriptfon 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinily of the project at lhe time of this application: The surrounding land use consists of single family residenlial neighborhood. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 3c. List the total esfimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: - 60 LF of UT to Polecat Creek 3d. Expiain the purpose of the proposed project: The proposed projecl will involve removing sediment from the upstream and downstream ends of the existing triple-banel culvert. Currenily, stream flow is restricted due to the "plug" of sediment that has built up in fronl of the pipes, restricting normal stream flow. This is especially problematic during peak storm Flows as the nearby residences experience flooding of their properties. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project will involve removing the sedimenl "plug" in front of the existing iriple barrel culverts. Sediment build up is causing restrictions in stream Flow which lhen backs up water during periods of high rain fall which then threatens to flood the nearby residences. Atl excavated material will be deposited and maintained in an upland sile. No excavation activity will extend beyond 200 feet in any direction trom the culvert. Equipment utilized will be a long arm excavator and dump trucks to haul the sediment away. ' Please no(e - this project was approved in 2006 and 2008 for the same proposed impacfs. 4.

Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize lhe proposed impacts in designing project. The sediment removal is necessary as the stream flow through the culverts is severely restricted which results in Flooding of the nearby residences during high slorm flows. Impacts will be minimlzed to the extent necessary to remove only the accumulated sediment. Strict adherence to the Best Management Practices for the proteclion of wetland and surface waters will be followed. There will be no staging of equipmenl in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination (including a pre-conslruction meeting) with lhe Division Environmental Officer (DEO) will further ensure the protection of surrounding resources. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Managemenl Practices for lhe proiection of surface waters, restriclions against the staging of equipment in or adjaceni to waters of ihe US and coordination (including a pre- construclion meeting) with the Division Environmental Supervisor. 2.

Comments: This project takes place in the Cape Fear River Basin which does not have any State mandated buffer rules in effect. Please note that while Polecat Creek is a tributary of Deep River, it empties into the river below Randleman Lake and therefore is nol subject to the Randleman Buffer Rules. Page 7 of 10 C.
