4a. 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 proposed project would occur primarily in forested and agricultural areas within Indian Trail. The surrounding area consists largely of suburban development including residential and
commercial areas.
South Fork Crooked Creek flows north to south through the proposed project footprint with several floodplain wetlands located along its reach.

4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.191
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
575
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:'
The proposed Chestnut Parkway extends from Old Monroe Road to Gribble Road. This new alignment will connect the NCDOT U-5808 project to existing Chestnut Parkway, and is
anticipated to alleviate future increases in traffic in the Town of Indian Trail during peak times.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project involves the construction of 0.57 mile of new roadway, including installation of two 14'x8' reinforced concrete box culverts (RCBC) for the purpose of crossing South
Fork Crooked Creek. The roadway would have four 11' lanes with a 6' concrete sidewalk on both sides. A typical curb and gutter will be used to control storm water for the project.
There is one impact site where permanent and temporary surface water impacts will occur due to the location of the proposed culvert and floodplain bench construction and stabilization
Sediment and erosion control measures would be implemented according to NC requirements, and approved by NCDEMLR prior to implementation. Jurisdictional areas adjacent to
construction areas would be clearly marked with protection fencing or other similar methods to avoid inadvertent encroachment. Copies of permits and impact areas would be provided to
the prime contractor and all subcontractors working in or near jurisdictional areas. Land clearing would take place along with the installation of erosion control devices. Construction would
be accomplished using typical equipment including excavators, backhoes, graders, and dump trucks. Additional standard equipment may also be used as required.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes No Unknown
Comments:
Field verification on 01/12/2017; delineation concurrence on 01/19/2017 by Crystal Amschler
(USACE)
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?*
Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A
Corps AID Number:
See 5a above.
5c. If 5a is yes, who delineated the jurisdictional areas?
Name (if known): Rob Crowther
Agency/Consultant Company: Carolina Ecosystems, Inc.
Other:
6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
Yes No
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?
The USACE (Monte Matthews) determined that this project is independent from U-5808 and the original Chestnut Parkway projects via communication with Michael Turchy (NCDOT EAU)
on 11/5/19.

31. Total stream and ditch impacts:

3j. Comments:
Streambank stabilization will consist of class 1 rip rap being placed along the banks of South Fork Crooked Creek at the inlet and outlet of the proposed
culvert. Riprap will not be placed in the existing bed and will not result in permanent loss of stream channel. The proposed culvert construction would
result in the permanent loss of 118 linear feet of stream.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed alignment is designed to cross South Fork Crooked Creek at an approximately perpendicular angle. All wetlands located in the project
vicinity are being avoided entirely.
The proposed culvert to be placed in South Fork Crooked Creek would allow for the entire existing stream channel to flow through one 14'x8' RCBC,
while the second RCBC will allow for hydraulic passage during overbank events.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
A temporary diversion channel would be utilized to dewater South Fork Crooked Creek within the proposed impact areas during construction (see
attached roadway plans). Best management practices and sedimentation and erosion control methods will be used throughout construction. No
equipment or maintenance activities will occur adjacent to jurisdictional areas, with the exception of addressing emergency equipment failure. All
temporary impacts to jurisdictional streams during construction will be returned to their original configuration and seeded in a timely manner for
stabilization.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
DWR Corps
2d. If yes, which mitigation option(s) will be used for this project?
Mitigation bank Payment to in -lieu fee program Permittee Responsible Mitigation
3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank
3a. Name of Mitigation Bank:
RES Yadkin 05 Umbrella Mitigation Bank
3b. Credits Purchased/Requested (attach receipt and letter)
Type: Quantity:
Stream 236
3c. Comments
Stream mitigation credit Statement of Availability is attached. Payment for mitigation credits would be completed prior to construction of the proposed
project.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?

Yes No
N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply:
Local Government State
State Stormwater Programs
Phase II
HWQorORW
Coastal Counties
Other NCDOT Stormwater Program

3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
Yes No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
