Jeff Claus OBS Landscape Architects. From: Crisp, Dale [mailto:Dale.Crisp@ci.raleigh.nc.us] Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 2:54 PM To: Jeff Claus Cc: Jackson, Donna; Stanley, Hunter; Tucker, Terry; Vessie, Matthew; Barber, Danielle; fpowell@ci.garner.nc.us Subject: RE: White Deer Park... Thanks for your e-mail and your telephone call. Raleigh conducts regular inspection visits of its sanitary sewer main pipelines and the easements they are located within. The City currently has approximately 2,300 miles of sanitary sewer main, therefore it is impossible to visit all of the sewer mains semi-annually or even annually. Our internal goal is to visit all of the sewer mains every 5 years - more frequently if possible. Certain "high risk" sewer mains are visited more frequently by our staff due to their location, age, type of sewer main, etc. High risk sewers are visited as least annually and ideally every 6 months. To my knowledge, none of the City's sanitary sewer main through White Deer Park is considered "high risk", but I have copied some of the City's staff involved in this regular sewer maintenance program so they can respond if I have miss-stated. Good luck with your greenway project. Thanks, Dale. YAP 97&. ffoog F"* H. Dale Crisp, P.E.

Mr. Crisp, I would like to thank you for your time and assistance today regarding this matter. As we discussed on the phone the Department of Water Quality is requesting acknowledgement from the City of Raleigh stating that the section of sewer easement located on the future site of White Deer Park is currently being used several times a year for access of maintenance and monitoring vehicles. A portion of the asphalt greenway proposed for White Deer Park will coincide with such easement. This proposal has already been reviewed and approved by Danielle Barber, Civil Engineer with City of Raleigh Public Utilities Department and it is our understanding that this proposed portion of greenway will be subject to future periodic traffic from various maintenance vehicles. Could you please validate the above statement? Thank you.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Expected pond surface area: Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 13 techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The proposed stream crossings for the access road and greenway are utilizing existing culvert crossings and are proposed to be improved and widened as necessary to install the access road (impact 1) and the reg enway (Impact 3). The site has a total of 4% impervious and does not require any stormwater BMPs, but we are including two bio-retention ponds for educational purposes. The proposed Greenway (Impact 4) is proposed to be constructed on an existing maintenance road. 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 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 (see DWQ website for most current version.). 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 10 of 13 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://www.nceep.net/paaes/inlieureplace.htm.
