4. Project Description and History
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 development to the south constructed a SWM pond immediately adjacent to the ROW with a rip rap outfall channel that flows northwest and ends at the ROW limits. At this point an
intermittent stream forms that makes a sharp turn to the north onto ROW where erosive conditions have resulted in large drops and a large erosion gully in the middle of the ROW. The
channel then turns to the northwest where the pipeline crosses the channel and flows on or parallel to the pipeline for approximately 100 feet befor turning into the treeline and off the
ROW. This portion of the channel is relatively 2-3 feet wide and 2.5-3.5 feet deep with steep banks.
a

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 SF - Review was limited to the ROW at the project site and the site access.
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
440 LF - Review was limited to the ROW at the project site and the site access.
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The primary purpose of the project is to restore the ROW and ensure the continued safe operation of the Cardinal Pipeline and secondarily to minimize future erosion and sediment
transport.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
To stabilize the stream and minimize future erosion at the existing pipeline and within the ROW, installation of four step -pool drop structures is proposed to be constructed between the
existing pipeline and the treeline, downstream of where the pipeline turns and crossed the the channel.
The step -pool structure will be constructed approximately 35+/- LF upstream from where the stream curves into the eastern treeline. The top of the structure will be at an elevation of
approximately 90.0'. This step -pool structure will drop approximately 9.9 inches with a pool 5+/- FT in length and 1+/- FT deep. The bottom of the structure will return the channel to the
existing grade, approximately 86.7'. To further minimize stream migration and protect the pipeline, the top of the step -pool structure will extend rock an additional 7.5-8 feet from the top of
stream bank to maintain water flow through the step -pool structure. The step -pool structures will dissipate the water velocity creating a natural riffle -pool scenario providing habitat for
species.
Immediately upstream of the step -pool structure, the channel will be filled with clean fill/bed stability mix and any excavated material to the top of the 2.5 foot drop downstream of the rip
rap, 95+/- LF. The filled channel will incorporate a 6 inch deep channel ranging from 2-3 wide to allow water to flow across the ROW to the drop structure, minimize future erosion, and
protect the pipeline.
Armor Stone will be utilized for step -pool construction. Armor Stone will range from 300-700 lbs. The variations in the surface of the Armor Stone will be utilized to create a low flow
channel through the step -pool structure during construction. After proposed construction is complete, all disturbed areas will be seeded with a native seed mix post construction. No trees
will be removed to construct the stream stabilization. All work will be completed within the routinely maintained ROW or the stream channel itself.
Access to the stream will be via the ROW from 2293 Toad Hollow Trail driveway, approximately 0.35 miles east southeast from the project area. Any GIS Streams located within the ROW
to access the site will be spanned with a mat to avoid any stream impacts for site access. All work will be initiated during a 3-day NOAA No Rain Period. Pump around and dewatering
practices will be utilized as necessary to allow work to be completed in the dry and maintain flow downstream. Any sediment -laden water from the work area will be pumped downstream
through a sediment filter bag to reduce sediment transport.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?
Yes No Q Unknown
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Since the pipelines are existing infrastructure, impacts could not be avoided to allow safe and continued operation of the pipelines. The project was
desgined to minimize the impacts to the greatest extent practical by keeping the impacts to stabilize the channel within the maintained ROW.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Any streams (as shown on Wake County GIS) to access the project area will be spanned with mats to avoid any additional impacts.
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
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The project involves stabilizing the stream channel to minimize erosion adn sediment transport within a routinely mainted gas pipeline ROW.
