Re: Ararat River Restoration and Greenway Project
401/404 Pre-Construction Notification Application
Dear Mr. Matthews and Ms. Dennison:
Enclosed for your consideration and approval is the Pre-Construction Notification for the US Army Corps
nationwide permit 27 and the Division of Water Quality's general certification 3689 for stream restoration,
enhancement, and stabilization for the Ararat River Restoration and Greenway Project. This project is located
in Surry County. Also enclosed are copies of the Ararat River Restoration and Greenway Plans for your
reference in reviewing the PCN application. Please note that we have requested the application be reviewed
before August 2008 to enable site preparation to take place so that the plant species may be planted during the
appropriate dormant season at the end of this year. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
The project meets the DWQ definition of stream restoration activities greater than 150 feet and
funding was provided by Clean Water Management Trust Fund. A permitting fee has been
included with this package. This is not for a stream mitigation project.
If I can be of any further assistance, please contact me at [phone].

and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans.. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The whole project is within the Ararat River floodplain. The
land surrounding the project consists of parks schools, young forested floodplain,
agricultural fields and a sewer line that runs along the entire right corridor. The river has
experienced some incision and extreme erosion is adding hundreds of tons of sediment to the
channel per year (see high bare banks in photo log).
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
project consists of river restoration and enhancement of approximately 16,928 linear feet of
the Ararat River and construction of 11,531 linear feet of egr enway along_ the right corridor
of Ararat River. Work will be done with tracked excavator with hydraulic thumb, track
loader, bull dozer, and dump trucks. Mt. Air hopes to provide their citizens the opportunity
Page 6 of 12
for environmental education, recreation, and health benefits, while stabilizing the river
with the river restoration, and linking parks and schools, via the greenway. Mt. Airy hopes
someday to extend the Ararat River erg_ enway further downstream to the Lovill's Creek
greenway.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: To restore the Ararat River by stabilizing areas
of erosion using natural channel design methods and the planting_ of a riparian buffer. Along
the right floodplain and in the vicinity of the City's sewer line easement, the regy enway will

Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Expected pond surface area: N/A
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
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Proposed impacts are required
for the greenway trail crossing the UT's to Ararat River and restore the Ararat River by naturally
stabilizing the channel providing habitat and planting a vegetative buffer. The site will not heal
on its own. Sediment loading calculations from annual bank erosion rates far outweigh the
proposed impacts Access to the site is most accessible along existing sewer line easements
and is not limited by topography or a mature hardwood forest. The surrounding area to the site is
open and will allow for access roads and stock pile areas to be installed sufficiently awa_y from
the stream corridor allowing for a reduction in potential impacts. The haul roads will be the
greenway alignment and along the existing sewer line easement to minimize the impact.
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.
Page 9 of 12
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.

Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/strmgide.html.
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.
N/A This project is not for the purpose of mitigation.
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
[phone] 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

Memorandum
To: Josh White
From: Elsie Parrilla
Date: May 5, 2008
Project: Ararat River Greenway
RE.- Sizing of culverts for Ararat River greenway
josh,
This memo summarizes the sizing analysis for the three stormwater drainage
culverts required beneath the proposed Ararat River Greenway. The location of the
culverts is shown in the attached Figure 1.
The culverts will be part of an at-grade pedestrian walkway and were sized to
convey up to the 10% annual chance flow (10-year average period of recurrence)
from their upstream watersheds. Flow from these culverts will discharge into the
Ararat River. For a conservative sizing estimate, these culverts should be sized
assuming the water body receiving the culvert discharge is also experiencing a 10%
annual chance flow. However, these culverts will be located at very close proximity
to the Ararat River and during a 10% annual chance flow through the Ararat River,
they will be completely submerged under Ararat River flood levels and will become
ineffective. For this reason, these culverts were sized to convey up to the 10%
annual chance flow only under scenarios where the Ararat River flow levels remain
close to base flow levels.
The culvert upstream and downstream invert elevations obtained from the
topographic data for the project are as follows:
Culvert
A
B
C
Upstream Invert
Elevation
1001
994
982
Downstream
Invert Elevation
1000.9
993
982.8
The 10% annual chance flow peak discharges for each culvert are summarized
below. These peak discharges were calculated using the procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Division of Highways Guidelines for Drainage Studies and
Hydraulic Design" (1999).
10-year
Discharge
Culvert (cfs)
A 50
B 43
C 20
From these data, the culverts required for conveyance of the 10% annual chance flow
through each culvert (assuming no backwater from Ararat River) are as follows:
Culvert Sizing
A One 42-inch diameter pipe
B One 42-inch diameter pipe
C One 30-inch diameter pipe
Let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Cordially,
Elsie Parrilla
