This submittal is a Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) for street rehabilitation and drainage
improvements for an existing storm drainage system in portions of the Pine Valley Subdivision in
Wilmington, NC. All construction associated with the project will be contained within the right -of-
way and/or within designated easements. Please find enclosed the following information and data for
this project:
1. PCN Application Form
2. Figure 1 — River Basins
3. .Figure 2 — New Hanover County Soils Map

6. Check for $240 review fee to NC Division of Water Resources (no fee to USACE)
The Pine Valley Street Rehabilitation and Drainage Improvements Project will address stormwater
concerns in portions of the Pine Valley subdivision. Currently, stormwater drains to a series of open
ditches that run through private property then eventually flows into the existing stormwater drainage
system maintained by the City of Wilmington. There are no easements for many of the open channel
ditches and private owner maintenance is spotty. Additionally, the roadways have areas of ponding
water after a rain event and have deteriorated. The Pine Valley Street Rehabilitation and Drainage
Improvements Project will provide a new stormwater drainage system as well as reconstruct
roadways for portions of Semmes Drive, Honneycutt Drive, and Donald E. Gore Drive in the Pine
Valley Subdivision.
The total area of land disturbed for this project is 9.6 acres, including 4.18 acres of paved area, 4.56
acres of front yard right -of -way adjacent to the paved area, and 0.86 acres of outfall. This portion of
the Pine Valley Subdivision drains into a tributary of Hewletts Creek in the White Oak River Basin as
