VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
Page 5 of 8

and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.html.

Notice of Violation Remediation
DWQ Case # SS-2006-0004
Dear Ms. Maher:
I am responding on behalf of Wake Chapel Church concerning remediation of the
stormwater pond, providing diffuse flow, and repairing the impacted stream and riparian
areas. As a result of our meeting conducted on September 20, 2007 with yourself and
Lauren Witherspoon, we have outlined the recommended course of action below.
Stream clean-up course of action:
Since the forested area surrounding the subject stream was in excellent
condition, a stream clean-up using volunteer labor and no machinery was proposed. This
clean-up day will be conducted on October 13, 2007. Per our discussion, the sediment
covering the stream bed will be removed and placed outside of the original wooded
floodplain area to prevent future infiltration.
En_ inq Bering analysis:
Please refer to the attached Pond Details Plan (C2). Mr. Jon Frazier of Crowley,
Crisp, & Associates did an excellent job with the concerns that we discussed at our site
meeting. To prevent transferring the stormwater from the stormwater pond inlet to the
outlet, grip-rap deflection device will be installed between the two structures. This should
allow the sediment to concentrate in the modified forebay and result in improved water
quality. A 95 linear foot level spreader and bypass device will be placed at the pond
outlet structure to achieve diffuse flow. Since a bypass swale is proposed between the
stream and level spreader, it is our understanding that this needs to be permitted. We
recommend completing aPre-Construction Notification (PCN) to your office this week.

Wake Chapel Church
NOV Remediation
October 3, 2007
Page 2 of 2
Headcut remediation:
The incised headcut area below the stormwater pond will also be stabilized. This
involves removing a few trees that are barely rooted and adjacent to the void area. Small
boulders will be placed at the bottom of the approximately 11-foot deep void. Suitable
growing soil will then be placed in the void to the existing adjacent elevation. Geotextile
fabric will be used along the existing stream bank to prevent the new soil from entering
the stream channel. The North American Green P300, or similar, fabric will also protect
the topsoil around the newly planted trees (see below).
Riparian plantings:
Upon filling the void with suitable soil for the riparian plantings, native trees will be
planted at a density consistent with riparian buffer restorations. To achieve the 320 trees
per acre at maturity, we propose planting nine (9) trees in the 840 SF (0.02 Ac.) impacted
area. Twenty-percent of the trees are required to be 1.5 to 2-inch DBH balled and
burlapped. Therefore, two (2) large Tulip Poplars will be planted in the impacted area.
The remaining trees will be 3-gallon varieties from the 2001 Guidelines for Riparian
Buffer Restoration.
The anticipated commencement day of construction is October 15, 2007. This
includes modifying the stormwater pond, constructing the level spreader and associated
devices, and headcut remediation and plantings. We recommend reconvening with you
and Mrs. Witherspoon at the site upon completion. Please let us know at your earliest
convenience when this site meeting can be conducted in November. Upon successful
remediation, we are requesting written approval of the corrective measures and being in
compliance with the violated water quality rules. If you should have questions or require
additional clarification during the review please feel free to contact me immediately at
