Wake County
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Leffler:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 37 linear feet of perennial stream, and 6,977 square feet (ft) of protected Zone
1 Neuse River basin riparian buffer and 4,798 square feet (ft) of protected Zone 2 Neuse River basin
riparian buffer to construct the proposed stormwater wetland, as described within your application dated
August 31, 2006, and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on September 7, 2006, with
additional information received by the DWQ on October 13, 2006, October 25, 2006, and November 14,
2006. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number(s) 3495 (GC3495). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide
Permit(s) 13 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as
your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B
.0233. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment
Control, and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts
or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the
404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:

2. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices
Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications
governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond
the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction
activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures within Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters
is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date
that the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
5. Deed Notification
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands,
waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer
impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or
buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A
sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified
as appropriate to suit to this project.

November 14, 2006
6. Diffuse Flow (No Review)
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at
non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate
before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (5). If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove
nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
7. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached
certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, North Carolina
Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct
impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this Certification shall expire upon
expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland or
stream impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,

WETLAND DETENTION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
The stormwater wetland system is defined as the wetland, pretreatment including forebays and the vegetated
filter if one is provided.
Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows:
9. After every significant runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly:
a. Inspect the stormwater wetland system for sediment accumulation, erosion, trash accumulation,
vegetated cover, and general condition.
b. Check and clear the orifice of any obstructions such that drawdown of the temporary pool occurs within
2 to 5 days as designed.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re-seed as necessary to maintain good vegetative cover, mow
vegetative cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (i.e. catch basins, piping, swales, riprap, etc.) quarterly to
maintain proper functioning.
4. Remove accumulated sediment from the stormwater wetland system semi-annually or when depth is
reduced to 75% of the original design depth (see diagram below). Removed sediment shall be disposed
of in an appropriate manner and shall be handled in a manner that will not adversely impact water quality
(i.e. stockpiling near a wet [wetland] detention basin or,stream, etc.).
The measuring device used to determine the sediment elevation shall be such that it will give an accurate
depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments.
For stormwater wetlands: If the elevation of the marsh areas exceeds the permanent pool elevation, the
sediment should be removed to design levels. This is performed by removing the upper 6 inches of soil
then stockpiling it. Then the marsh area is excavated six inches below design elevations. Afterwards the
stockpiled soil should be spread over the marsh surface. The soil should not be stockpiled for more than
two weeks.
When the sediment depth reads 0.6 . feet in the forebay [and micro-pool] above the bottom
elevation (307.0 ft), the sediment shall be removed.

5. Wetland planting densities in the marsh areas should be maintained by replanting bare areas as needed.
Wetland plants should be encouraged to grow in the marsh areas.
6. If the basin must be drained for an emergency or to perform maintenance, the flushing of sediment
through the emergency drain shall be minimized to the maximum extent practical.
7. All components of the stormwater wetland system shall be maintained in good working order.
8. Level spreaders or other structures that provide diffuse flow shall be maintained every six months. All
accumulated sediment and debris shall be removed from the structure, and a level elevation shall be
maintained across the entire flow spreading structure. Any down gradient erosion must be repaired and/or
replanted as necessary.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the eight
maintenance procedures listed above. The University agrees to notify DWQ of any problems with the system
or prior to any changes to the system or responsible patty.

Note:
Project impacts to Zone 1 are primary related to
stabilization of the streambank area. Currently, Zone 1
consists of a badly eroding gully from a stormwater
outfall and a degrading stream bank. Due to space
constraints of the project, some temporary impacts are
unavoidable. All streambank impacts will result in a
significant improvement to bank stability, and buffer
impact areas will be densely vegetated.

Re: North Creek Stormwater Wetland and Stream Enhancement
To whom it may concern,
NC State University Water Quality Group is proposing the construction of a stormwater wetland on NCSU
Centennial Campus. The wetland is a badly needed retrofit to an existing storm drain system. The drain outlets are
currently causing excessive erosion and destabilizing stream banks. The retrofit will route waters through a stable
channel into a stormwater wetland for treatment. Due to the urban constraints of the area, impacts are proposed to
the riparian buffer and streambanks in the vicinity of the wetland. A full set of plans detailing these impacts and
further explaining the project is included with this package. The total disturbed area for the project will be less than
1 acre.
In addition to the wetland, the associated stream reach is proposed for enhancement. The enhancement will include
repair and stabilization of streambanks in the vicinity of the wetland, and a variety of activities along the project
reach. The primary proposed enhancement activities will include invasive species removal and native species
introduction and management. We propose to utilize some bank stabilization measures as necessary, which will
include minor grading, protection with erosion control fabric, and revegetation.
The project is being funded by the USDA and the NCDENR 319 program. We believe that the fully implemented
project will be an example of how stormwater practices, and a properly managed urban riparian buffer zone can
improve water quality and aesthetics in a constrained urban setting. A graduate student research project is underway
for the site, which should provide information on the benefits of the project.
Please accept our proposal and permit application package for the site. The permit is supported by and submitted
through our NCSU Stormwater Program. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. My phone
number is given above and my email is [e-mail]

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Permits.html.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/index.html, or contact one of the field offices
listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for each
county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and regulation
of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401 /Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided
that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should
contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application) prior to submittal of the application.
Page 1 of 13
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's
twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated
Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such
cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits.
The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure
that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical
habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon
any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with
these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for
both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the
USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This
PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a
complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the
minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE
Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 67 Fed. Reg. 2090 (Jan. 15, 2002), available at
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/functions/cw/cecwo/reg/2002nms.pdf. Processing times vary by
permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete. Please contact the
appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. . This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

North Creek Constructed Stormwater Wetland with Vegetated
Waterway System & Stream Enhancement (stream reach between
Varsity Drive to Research Drive) - North Carolina State University
Pre-Construction Notification Application Form
Attachments
Part III, Question 9: Existing Conditions
The proposed project is planned along a 1,050 foot reach of North Creek on
NCSU Centennial Campus. This reach is between Varsity and Research Drives. The
planned work includes the construction of a stormwater wetland (Figures 1, 2, and 8), and
stream and buffer enhancement along this reach (Figures 3).
The stormwater wetland is a desperately needed retrofit to an existing stormwater
outfall system. The current outfall configuration has contributed to an extensive amount
of damage and sediment transport to North Creek. Two existing outfalls deliver runoff at
high velocity to a terrace area just outside the creek buffer. The outfalls are
approximately 7-9 feet in elevation above the creek bed creating a steep slope. The
outfalls have weakened soil conditions and stream banks, causing some trees to fall
during high winds. This damage has progressed in the last two years, with a deep gully
and headcut forming, delivering eroded sediments and debris into the creek. The attached
photographs depict the outlets and the large scour hole that has formed and filled with
fallen trees, stones, and weedy vegetation (Figures 4-7).
Two stormwater culverts discharge onto the site. The larger culvert (SOC 3) is 3
feet in diameter and drains water from a watershed of approximately 4.8 acres of 65%
impervious roadway from Varsity Drive. The smaller 2 foot culvert (SOC 4) drains
water from a 5.6 acre area of approximately 87% woodland and 13% impervious
roadway from Capability Drive. The stream banks are very unstable in this section of the
project. The current scour-hole starts at the confluence with North Creek and is slowly
migrating northward from the channel headcut, which will eventually endanger the
culvert wing-wall on Varsity Drive and large hardwood trees currently stabilizing the
remaining stream bank.
Part III, Question 10: Overall Project Description
A constructed stormwater wetland and vegetated waterway system is proposed on
the abandoned terrace of North Creek to serve as a stormwater BMP retrofit on
Centennial Campus, NCSU. The proposed wetland will repair the eroded gullies, re-
route the stormwater into a stable swale and to the wetland for treatment. Plunge pools
consisting of large boulders and a geo-textile liner will be installed at the outlets of both
culverts to dissipate energy and remove larger sediment. The plunge pool at the SOC 3
culvert will discharge stormwater over a spillway reinforced with turf matting to the 1%
sloped vegetated waterway. The vegetated waterway is designed to handle peak flows
from the 25-yr storm event. The first section of the waterway handling discharges from
SOC 3 has a top width of 12 feet with a maximum depth of 1.5 feet. Where the waterway
merges with the reinforced spillway from the SOC 4 culvert plunge pool, the waterway
dimensions change to a top width of 16 feet, a maximum depth of 2.0 feet, and a channel
slope of 0.5%. Construction drawings for the stormwater wetland system are attached.
Due to the limited space for construction of the site, the proposed stormwater
wetland is designed to hold water from the first 0.3 inches of rainfall with a three-day
retention time for the stormwater. Considering the first-flush nature of pollutant runoff
during storm events, this stormwater wetland system will capture and treat a larger
proportion of the pollutants in the runoff compared to the fraction of runoff volume. A
modified flash board riser system will control the water level in the wetland and is
designed to safely route the 25-yr, 24-hr storm with minimum disturbance to the stream
and floodplain.
The surface area of the stormwater wetland is 3,978 sq ft, approximately 0.88% of
the total watershed area comprised of both SOC 3 and SOC 4 drainage areas.
Approximately 16% of the wetland contains two deep pools (at most 2.5 ft deep below
normal pool) and one shallow pool (at most 1.5 ft deep below normal pool). A sinuous
low-flow channel 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep connects the three pools and comprises
about 18% of the wetland surface area. A shallow water area between 0-6 inches below
the normal pool will encompass 36% of the total wetland surface area. The remainder of
the wetland surface area (45%) will contain shallow land that will only be completely
covered with water during storm events that reach the extended detention depth of 1-foot.
In order to construct the stormwater wetland and vegetated waterway system, the
existing ground will be excavated. Part of the road bank of Capability Drive will be
graded to a slope no greater than 2/1 in order to meet the grade requirements for the
wetland while maintaining 3/1 side slopes within the wetland as well as a required
distance of 15 ft from any trees larger than 9-inches. Excess cut soil from the wetland
will be used to fill the existing scour-hole and re-stabilize that section of the North Creek
stream bank. During the project, excavated soil will be stockpiled in designated areas,
and check dams with slope drains will be installed at the spillways to the two plunge
pools to safely divert stormwater to North Creek. In addition, a temporary sediment dam
will be installed at the exit of the scour-hole before the confluence with North Creek to
help remove any remaining sediment.
In order to maintain permanent stormwater wetland conditions the bed of the
wetland will be sealed using bentonite clay liners at the depth of excavation, with a
minimum permeability of 0.01 in/hr. The liners will be constructed by spreading
bentonite onto the soil surface, vertically distributing the bentonite into the existing soil
using a pug-mill mixer or other suitable mixing equipment, and then compacting the
liners using a backhoe, track hoe, or other compacting equipment. A soil geotechnical
consultant will be required to determine the amount of bentonite to add, the degree of
compaction, and will oversee the installation of the liner. The permeability of the liner
will be tested for quality assurance before construction of inner wetland features begins.
A layer of topsoil will also be added over the bentonite clay liner to prevent pH spikes
and provide a healthy media for vegetation.
The final phase of the stormwater wetland/waterway construction will be the
addition of vegetation within the wetlands and along the perimeter of the project site. A
variety of native wetland species will be placed in specified areas within the wetland,
grasses will be planted on the berms and vegetated waterway, and upland plants including
shrubs and trees will be added surrounding the wetland boundary to further improve the
riparian function of the floodplain.
In conjunction with the stormwater wetland system, we proposed stream
enhancements within the same stream reach. The primary stream impacts proposed are to
repair, stabilize, and revegetate a massively eroded are of the stream that the wetland will
protect. Additional impacts areas are in support of protecting the primary and emergency
outlets of the wetland. Stream impacts in these areas will be limited to reconstruction of
streambanks in the immediate area. The areas of impact are shown on the stormwater
wetland plans. The impact will be temporary and limited to one side of the bank unless
otherwise necessary. The total stream length impact is estimated at 20 feet at each of two
locations for a total less than 100 feet.
In addition, and as part of the overall project, stream and buffer enhancement has
been planned for the entire 1,050 foot reach. Woody vegetation has been severely
reduced along one side of the stream due to prior construction activities. The
enhancement plans include invasive species control, reestablishment of native woody tree
species, and bank stabilization with plantings. The enhancement work may involve a
minor amount of grading to physically remove debris, invasive vegetation, or to facilitate
planting efforts. No significant grading will take place in or around the stream and the
stream pattern and profile will remain unaltered. It is expected that some minor bank
grading may be necessary. However, this will be kept to a minimum and will be protected
immediately with erosion control matting and vegetation.
A final part of this project will involve the stabilization of an existing stormwater
outfall upstream of this site. The outfall is currently protected by an insufficient amount
of inadequately sized riprap. The area is actively eroding. The riprap will be replaced
with a series of rock step pools in an attempt to stabilize the area and prevent further
erosion. pcA-tiers
We are requesting approval of our stream and buffer enhancement plans
associated with this project. The details of planned stream impacts are shown on the
attached plans, and a concept plan of the enhancements is also included. This project will
be a model for an alternative, minimal approach to stream improvement in an urban area.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if additional information is needed.
Part III, Question 11: Purpose of the Proposed Work
The purpose of this project is to construct a stormwater wetland and vegetated
waterway system to improve the water quality and treatment of stormwater, re-stabilize
parts of North Creek's stream banks and terrace, reduce sediment transport, and to protect
and improve the remaining riparian trees and vegetation along the creek. The
wetland/waterway system is anticipated to reduce peak storm flows and help lower
nitrogen, phosphorus, suspended sediment, organic compounds, and metal concentrations
in the stormwater before it reaches North Creek, using stormwater retention and wetland
vegetation and microorganisms. The wetland will serve as a stormwater BMP retrofit on
Centennial Campus to improve water quality in the surrounding watershed. In
association with the wetland installation, trees, shrubs, and herbaceous wetland and
upland species will be planted on the terrace and floodplain in order to enhance the
riparian function and aesthetic characteristics.
Part V: Future Project Plans
Additional stream restoration is planned for a downstream reach of North Creek
south of Research Drive, approximately 1,000 feet downstream of the proposed BMP
retrofit (see vicinity map). Funding has not yet been secured so construction is not
scheduled.
Part VI: Proposed Impacts to Waters
Damage to Zone 1 exists within this section of North Creek and stream restoration
improvements will be completed in cooperation with the BMP retrofit project.
Part VII: Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to Zone 1 are primary related to stabilization of the streambank area. All
attempts have been made to minimize impacts to buffer and stream areas. However, due
to space constraints of the project, some temporary impacts are unavoidable. All
streambank impacts will result in a significant improvement to bank stability, and buffer
impact areas will be densely vegetated. It is our opinion that the site will improve water
quality, and contribute to stream and buffer habitat.

Note:
Project impacts to Zone 1 are primary related to
stabilization of the streambank area. Currently, Zone 1
consists of a badly eroding gully from a stormwater
outfall and a degrading stream bank. Due to space
constraints of the project, some temporary impacts are
unavoidable. All streambank impacts will result in a
significant improvement to bank stability, and buffer
impact areas will be densely vegetated.

XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Re: North Creek Stormwater Wetland and Stream Enhancement
To whom it may concern,
NC State University Water Quality Group is proposing the construction of a stormwater wetland on NCSU
Centennial Campus. The wetland is a badly needed retrofit to an existing storm drain system. The drain outlets are
currently causing excessive erosion and destabilizing stream banks. The retrofit will route waters through a stable
channel into a stormwater wetland for treatment. Due to the urban constraints of the area, impacts are proposed to
the riparian buffer and streambanks in the vicinity of the wetland. A full set of plans detailing these impacts and
further explaining the project is included with this package. The total disturbed area for the project will be less than
1 acre.
In addition to the wetland, the associated stream reach is proposed for enhancement. The enhancement will include
repair and stabilization of streambanks in the vicinity of the wetland, and a variety of activities along the project
reach. The primary proposed enhancement activities will include invasive species removal and native species
introduction and management. We propose to utilize some bank stabilization measures as necessary, which will
include minor grading, protection with erosion control fabric, and revegetation.
The project is being funded by the USDA and the NCDENR 319 program. We believe that the fully implemented
project will be an example of how stormwater practices, and a properly managed urban riparian buffer zone can
improve water quality and aesthetics in a constrained urban setting. A graduate student research project is underway
for the site, which should provide information on the benefits of the project.
Please accept our proposal and permit application package for the site. The permit is supported by and submitted
through our NCSU Stormwater Program. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. My phone

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Pennits.html.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/index.html, or contact one of the field offices
listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for each
county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and regulation
of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided
that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should
contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application) prior to submittal of the application.
Page 1 of 13
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's
twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated
Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such
cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits.
The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure
that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical
habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon
any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with
these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for
both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the
USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This
PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a
complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the
minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE
Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 67 Fed. Reg. 2090 (Jan. 15, 2002), available at
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/functions/cw/cecwo/reg/2002nwps.Dd£ Processing times vary by
permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete. Please contact the
appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
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.

North Creek Constructed Stormwater Wetland with Vegetated
Waterway System & Stream Enhancement (stream reach between
Varsity Drive to Research Drive) - North Carolina State University
Pre-Construction Notification Application Form
Attachments
Part III, Question 9: Existing Conditions
The proposed project is planned along a 1,050 foot reach of North Creek on
NCSU Centennial Campus. This reach is between Varsity and Research Drives. The
planned work includes the construction of a stormwater wetland (Figures 1, 2, and 8), and
stream and buffer enhancement along this reach (Figures 3).
The stormwater wetland is a desperately needed retrofit to an existing stormwater
outfall system. The current outfall configuration has contributed to an extensive amount
of damage and sediment transport to North Creek. Two existing outfalls deliver runoff at
high velocity to a terrace area just outside the creek buffer. The outfalls are
approximately 7-9 feet in elevation above the creek bed creating a steep slope. The
outfalls have weakened soil conditions and stream banks, causing some trees to fall
during high winds. This damage has progressed in the last two years, with a deep gully
and headcut forming, delivering eroded sediments and debris into the creek. The attached
photographs depict the outlets and the large scour hole that has formed and filled with
fallen trees, stones, and weedy vegetation (Figures 4-7).
Two stormwater culverts discharge onto the site. The larger culvert (SOC 3) is 3
feet in diameter and drains water from a watershed of approximately 4.8 acres of 65%
impervious roadway from Varsity Drive. The smaller 2 foot culvert (SOC 4) drains
water from a 5.6 acre area of approximately 87% woodland and 13% impervious
roadway from Capability Drive. The stream banks are very unstable in this section of the
project. The current scour-hole starts at the confluence with North Creek and is slowly
migrating northward from the channel headcut, which will eventually endanger the
culvert wing-wall on Varsity Drive and large hardwood trees currently stabilizing the
remaining stream bank.
Part III, Question 10: Overall Project Description
A constructed stormwater wetland and vegetated waterway system is proposed on
the abandoned terrace of North Creek to serve as a stormwater BMP retrofit on
Centennial Campus, NCSU. The proposed wetland will repair the eroded gullies, re-
route the stormwater into a stable swale and to the wetland for treatment. Plunge pools
consisting of large boulders and a geo-textile liner will be installed at the outlets of both
culverts to dissipate energy and remove larger sediment. The plunge pool at the SOC 3
culvert will discharge stormwater over a spillway reinforced with turf matting to the 1%
sloped vegetated waterway. The vegetated waterway is designed to handle peak flows
from the 25-yr storm event. The first section of the waterway handling discharges from
SOC 3 has a top width of 12 feet with a maximum depth of 1.5 feet. Where the waterway
merges with the reinforced spillway from the SOC 4 culvert plunge pool, the waterway
dimensions change to a top width of 16 feet, a maximum depth of 2.0 feet, and a channel
slope of 0.5%. Construction drawings for the stormwater wetland system are attached.
Due to the limited space for construction of the site, the proposed stormwater
wetland is designed to hold water from the first 0.3 inches of rainfall with a three-day
retention time for the stormwater. Considering the first-flush nature of pollutant runoff
during storm events, this stormwater wetland system will capture and treat a larger
proportion of the pollutants in the runoff compared to the fraction of runoff volume. A
modified flash board riser system will control the water level in the wetland and is
designed to safely route the 25-yr, 24-hr storm with minimum disturbance to the stream
and floodplain.
The surface area of the stormwater wetland is 3,978 sq ft, approximately 0.88% of
the total watershed area comprised of both SOC 3 and SOC 4 drainage areas.
Approximately 16% of the wetland contains two deep pools (at most 2.5 ft deep below
normal pool) and one shallow pool (at most 1.5 ft deep below normal pool). A sinuous
low-flow channel 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep connects the three pools and comprises
about 18% of the wetland surface area. A shallow water area between 0-6 inches below
the normal pool will encompass 36% of the total wetland surface area. The remainder of
the wetland surface area (45%) will contain shallow land that will only be completely
covered with water during storm events that reach the extended detention depth of 1-foot.
In order to construct the stormwater wetland and vegetated waterway system, the
existing ground will be excavated. Part of the road bank of Capability Drive will be
graded to a slope no greater than 2/1 in order to meet the grade requirements for the
wetland while maintaining 3/1 side slopes within the wetland as well as a required
distance of 15 ft from any trees larger than 9-inches. Excess cut soil from the wetland
will be used to fill the existing scour-hole and re-stabilize that section of the North Creek
stream bank. During the project, excavated soil will be stockpiled in designated areas,
and check dams with slope drains will be installed at the spillways to the two plunge
pools to safely divert stormwater to North Creek. In addition, a temporary sediment dam
will be installed at the exit of the scour-hole before the confluence with North Creek to
help remove any remaining sediment.
In order to maintain permanent stormwater wetland conditions the bed of the
wetland will be sealed using bentonite clay liners at the depth of excavation, with a
minimum permeability of 0.01 in/hr. The liners will be constructed by spreading
bentonite onto the soil surface, vertically distributing the bentonite into the existing soil
using a pug-mill mixer or other suitable mixing equipment, and then compacting the
liners using a backhoe, track hoe, or other compacting equipment. A soil geotechnical
consultant will be required to determine the amount of bentonite to add, the degree of
compaction, and will oversee the installation of the liner. The permeability of the liner
will be tested for quality assurance before construction of inner wetland features begins.
A layer of topsoil will also be added over the bentonite clay liner to prevent pH spikes
and provide a healthy media for vegetation.
The final phase of the stormwater wetland/waterway construction will be the
addition of vegetation within the wetlands and along the perimeter of the project site. A
variety of native wetland species will be placed in specified areas within the wetland,
grasses will be planted on the berms and vegetated waterway, and upland plants including
shrubs and trees will be added surrounding the wetland boundary to further improve the
riparian function of the floodplain.
In conjunction with the stormwater wetland system, we proposed stream
enhancements within the same stream reach. The primary stream impacts proposed are to
repair, stabilize, and revegetate a massively eroded are of the stream that the wetland will
protect. Additional impacts areas are in support of protecting the primary and emergency
outlets of the wetland. Stream impacts in these areas will be limited to reconstruction of
streambanks in the immediate area. The areas of impact are shown on the stormwater
wetland plans. The impact will be temporary and limited to one side of the bank unless
otherwise necessary. The total stream length impact is estimated at 20 feet at each of two
locations for a total less than 100 feet.
In addition, and as part of the overall project, stream and buffer enhancement has
been planned for the entire 1,050 foot reach. Woody vegetation has been severely
reduced along one side of the stream due to prior construction activities. The
enhancement plans include invasive species control, reestablishment of native woody tree
species, and bank stabilization with plantings. The enhancement work may involve a
minor amount of grading to physically remove debris, invasive vegetation, or to facilitate
planting efforts. No significant grading will take place in or around the stream and the
stream pattern and profile will remain unaltered. It is expected that some minor bank
grading may be necessary. However, this will be kept to a minimum and will be protected
immediately with erosion control matting and vegetation.
A final part of this project will involve the stabilization of an existing stormwater
outfall upstream of this site. The outfall is currently protected by an insufficient amount
of inadequately sized riprap. The area is actively eroding. The riprap will be replaced
with a series of rock step pools in an attempt to stabilize the area and prevent further
erosion. xx?i? Sc,C-a-)
We are requesting approval of our stream and buffer enhancement plans
associated with this project. The details of planned stream impacts are shown on the
attached plans, and a concept plan of the enhancements is also included. This project will
be a model for an alternative, minimal approach to stream improvement in an urban area.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if additional information is needed.
Part III, Question 11: Purpose of the Proposed Work
The purpose of this project is to construct a stormwater wetland and vegetated
waterway system to improve the water quality and treatment of stormwater, re-stabilize
parts of North Creek's stream banks and terrace, reduce sediment transport, and to protect
and improve the remaining riparian trees and vegetation along the creek. The
wetland/waterway system is anticipated to reduce peak storm flows and help lower
nitrogen, phosphorus, suspended sediment, organic compounds, and metal concentrations
in the stormwater before it reaches North Creek, using stormwater retention and wetland
vegetation and microorganisms. The wetland will serve as a stormwater BMP retrofit on
Centennial Campus to improve water quality in the surrounding watershed. In
association with the wetland installation, trees, shrubs, and herbaceous wetland and
upland species will be planted on the terrace and floodplain in order to enhance the
riparian function and aesthetic characteristics.
Part V: Future Project Plans
Additional stream restoration is planned for a downstream reach of North Creek
south of Research Drive, approximately 1,000 feet downstream of the proposed BMP
retrofit (see vicinity map). Funding has not yet been secured so construction is not
scheduled.
Part VI: Proposed Impacts to Waters
Damage to Zone 1 exists within this section of North Creek and stream restoration
improvements will be completed in cooperation with the BMP retrofit project.
Part VII: Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to Zone I are primary related to stabilization of the streambank area. All
attempts have been made to minimize impacts to buffer and stream areas. However, due
to space constraints of the project, some temporary impacts are unavoidable. All
streambank impacts will result in a significant improvement to bank stability, and buffer
impact areas will be densely vegetated. It is our opinion that the site will improve water
quality, and contribute to stream and buffer habitat.

PROJECT NARRATIVE:
This project is part of the Water Duality and Biological Integrity Improvement Project in North Creek/Walnut
Creek R is a joint venture between North Carolinas Section 319 NPS Program and N.C. State University. The
goal of this project is to construct an innovative stormwater control enhancement to establish a natural
corridor through an urban setting while effectively treating urban stormwater pollutants. The proposed wetland
and vegetated swale system will not only treat stormwater, but provide improvement in flood control and
enhance native wildlife habitat and ecological diversity. The project involves bulk earth movement, fine grading,
installation of piprig, final grading, and planting.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE:
1. Locate and set up an appropriate site for stockpile of materials and storage of equipment
2. Install all erosion control measures including construction entrance.
3. Remove downed trees and debris from eroded channel.
4. Construct plunge pools, check dams and slaps drains at culvert outlets.
5. Repave and stockpile topsoil.
6. Begin mass grading operations.
7. Install outlet pipes/structures in wetland.
8. Replace topsoil and complete fine grading.
9. Implement planting plan.
10. Request a completion inspection from the Project Engineer.
GRADING AND EROSION CONTROL NOTES:
1. All erosion control must be set-up and inspected prior to commencement of grading operations.
2. Strip and stockpile topsoil in indicated areas for use as substrate in wetlands.
3. Culverts shall be reinforced concrete pipe or equivalent.
4. All elevations shown on the Project Drawings are relative. Utilize benchmarks as directed by the Project
Engineer. Grading stall be met within a tolerance of O.1'
5. Stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction
activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case more than fourteen (14) days after work has
ceased, unless activity in that portion of the site will resume within twenty-one (21) days.
6. NI sediment and erosion control devices shall be inspected every seven (7) days or after each rainfall
occurence that exceeds one-half (1/2) inch. Damaged or ineffective devices shall be repaired or replaced, as
necessary.
7. NI erosion control devices shall be properly maintained dump oil phases of the construction until the
completion of all construction acitivities and all disturbed areas have been stabilized. Additional control devices
may be required during construction in order to control erosion and/or off-site sedimentation. All temporary
control devices shall be removed once construction is complete and the site is stabilized.
8. The contractor must take necessary action to minimize the tracking of mud onto the paved roadway
construction areas. The contractor shall daily remove mud/soil from pavement as may be required.
9. Temporary diversion berms and/or ditches will be provided as needed during construction to protect work
areas from upslope runoff and/or to divert sediment laden runoff water to appropriate traps or stable outlets.
1. Outlet 6 Inlet inspection/minor maintenance. Once per month (after every 1-1.5'
storm). Clean out tresh/debrls from structures and trash rocks.
2 Periodic trash removal. As needed. Clean trash from wetland interior as needed

1. CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
1. Mark the intended fine of placement for the sediment fence
an the ground at the site as outlined on the plan.
2. Construct the sediment fence of standard strength
or extra strength synthetic flier fabric. Do not use
fabrics that are quickly biodegradable. Synthetic fitter
fabric shotAd contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers
to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable
construction life at a temperature range of O to 120 F.
Ensure that the height of the sift fence does not exceed
eighteen (16) inches above the ground.
3. Construct the filter fabric from a continuous roll cut to
the length of the barrier to avoid joints. When joints are
necessary, securely fasten the filter cloth only at a support
post with overlap to the next post. For reinforcement of
fitter fabric, use wire fence with o minimum fourteen (14)
gauge and a maximum mesh spacing of six (6) inches.
4. Support filter fabric: with wire mesh fastened securely to the
upslops of the poste using either tie wires or heavy duty wire
staples at least one (1) inch long. Extend the wire mesh to
support the bottom of the trench.
S. Space posts a maximum of eight (8) feet apart. Support
should be driven securely into the ground to a minimum depth
of eighteen (18) inches. Ensure that the posts for sediment
fences are 1.33 Ib/lineor ft steel with a minimum length of
four (4) feet. Make sure that steel posts have projections to
facilitate fastening the fabric.
6. Excavate a trench approximately far (4) inches wide and
eight (8) inches deep a" the proposed line of posh and upslope
from the barrier.
7. Backfill the trench with compacted soil or gravel placed
over the filter fabric.
8. Do not attach the filter fabric to axis" tress.
If. MAINTENANCE
1. Fence posts which have become dislodged or displaced
for any reason shall be Immediately replaced.
2. Tears in the fabric of the fencing shall likewise be repaired
to maintain the intended function of the sift fence.
3. The orooer function of the sediment fence is to be maintained
III. REMOVAL
1. Confirm with the Southern Pines Public Wart Department that
removal of the fence is acceptable.
2. Remove the sediment fence and smooth the disturbed area to
blend with the surrounding topography.

I've been in touch with Ruth Morris & she is going fax me copy of the invoice to
see if I figure out what it is for. At this point, I'm totally in the dark as to
whether it is for a 401/Wetlands permit or what. I'll let you know.

Re: North Creek Stormwater Wetland and! ;ream Entrancement
To whom it may concern,
NC State Vmiversity 'Hater Quatitu Gro• tp is proposing the conSIZUctiou Of n stotmwater wetland on NCSU
Centennial Campus. The wetland is a badl I needed retrofit to go existing storm Crain systeal. The drain outlet, are
curremly causing excessive erosion and dr stabilizing stream banks. The retrofit will route watars through a stable
channel into a stormwis r wetland °ar trot anent. Due to the urban coasaaints of the area, impacts are proposed to
the riparian buffer and strearrrbatik: in the vicinity of the wetland. A full set of plans detailing these impacts and
Author explaining the project is itichtded v ith this package. The total disturbed area for the project will be lass than
1 acre.
In addition to the wetland, the assoa:iated : treaai reach is proposed for enhancement The enhancement will include
repair and stabilization of streatnbeaks in the vicinity of the wetland, and a var-M of activities along the project
i reach. The primary proposed ar&i%eemeat activities will include invasive species removal and native species
introductioa and management We propo; a to utilize some bank stabilisation measures as necessary, which will
Include minor grading, protection with ero: im control fabric, sad revegetadom
The projea Is being flurded by the'JSDA and the NCDENR 319 program. We 'relieve that the f9uliy implemented
project will be an example of how storm vattr practices, and a properly managed urban riparian buffer zone can
improve water quality turd aesthetic! In a c onstrained urban setting. A graduate st.tdent renearch'project is underway
j for the site, which should provide i0ormat,on on the benefits of the project.
Pleasd accept our proposal and pomiit ap )lIc0ou package for the alto. The permit is supported by and submitted
through our NCSU Storinwater Pro.irom. E lease feel free to contact the with any questions you may have. My phone

Note:
Project impacts to Zone 1 are primary related to
stabilization of the streambank area. Currently, Zone 1
consists of a badly eroding gully from a stormwater
outfall and a degrading stream bank. Due to space
constraints of the project, some temporary impacts are
unavoidable. All streambank impacts will result in a
significant improvement to bank stability, and buffer
impact areas will be densely vegetated.

River basin riparian buffer and 4,798 square feet (ft) of protected Zone 2 Neuse River basin riparian
buffer to construct the proposed stormwater wetland. The DWQ has determined that your application is
incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional
information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the
subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional information requested below,
we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0506 and will
place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the
following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Please indicate all buffer impacts on the site plan.

XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
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.

Re: North Creek Stormwater Wetland and Stream Enhancement 111
To whom it may concern,
NC State University Water Quality Group is proposing the construction of a stormwater wetland on NCSU
Centennial Campus. The wetland is a badly needed retrofit to an existing storm drain system. The drain outlets are
currently causing excessive erosion and destabilizing stream banks. The retrofit will route waters through a stable
channel into a stormwater wetland for treatment. Due to the urban constraints of the area, impacts are proposed to
the riparian buffer and streambanks in the vicinity of the wetland. A full set of plans detailing these impacts and
further explaining the project is included with this package. The total disturbed area for the project will be less than
1 acre.
In addition to the wetland, the associated stream reach is proposed for enhancement. The enhancement will include
repair and stabilization of streambanks in the vicinity of the wetland, and a variety of activities along the project
reach. The primary proposed enhancement activities will include invasive species removal and native species
introduction and management. We propose to utilize some bank stabilization measures as necessary, which will
include minor grading, protection with erosion control fabric, and revegetation.
The project is being funded by the USDA and the NCDENR 319 program. We believe that the fully implemented
project will be an example of how stormwater practices, and a properly managed urban riparian buffer zone can
improve water quality and aesthetics in a constrained urban setting. A graduate student research project is underway
for the site, which should provide information on the benefits of the project.
Please accept our proposal and permit application package for the site. The permit is supported by and submitted
through our NCSU Stormwater Program. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. My phone
number is given above and my email is [e-mail]

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Permits.html.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/index.html, or contact one of the field offices
listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for each
county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and regulation
of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided
that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should
contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application) prior to submittal of the application.
Page 1 of 13
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's
twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated
Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such
cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits.
The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure
that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical
habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon
any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with
these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for
both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the
USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This
PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a
complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the
minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE
Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 67 Fed. Reg. 2090 (Jan. 15, 2002), available at
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/functions/cw/cecwo/reg/2002nyms.pdf. Processing times vary by
permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete. Please contact the
appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

North Creek Constructed Stormwater Wetland with Vegetated
Waterway System & Stream Enhancement (stream reach between
Varsity Drive to Research Drive) - North Carolina State University
Pre-Construction Notification Application Form
Attachments
Part III, Question 9: Existing Conditions
The proposed project is planned along a 1,050 foot reach of North Creek on
NCSU Centennial Campus. This reach is between Varsity and Research Drives. The
planned work includes the construction of a stormwater wetland (Figures 1, 2, and 8), and
stream and buffer enhancement along this reach (Figures 3).
The stormwater wetland is a desperately needed retrofit to an existing stormwater
outfall system. The current outfall configuration has contributed to an extensive amount
of damage and sediment transport to North Creek. Two existing outfalls deliver runoff at
high velocity to a terrace area just outside the creek buffer. The outfalls are
approximately 7-9 feet in elevation above the creek bed creating a steep slope. The
outfalls have weakened soil conditions and stream banks, causing some trees to fall
during high winds. This damage has progressed in the last two years, with a deep gully
and headcut forming, delivering eroded sediments and debris into the creek. The attached
photographs depict the outlets and the large scour hole that has formed and filled with
fallen trees, stones, and weedy vegetation (Figures 4-7).
Two stormwater culverts discharge onto the site. The larger culvert (SOC 3) is 3
feet in diameter and drains water from a watershed of approximately 4.8 acres of 65%
impervious roadway from Varsity Drive. The smaller 2 foot culvert (SOC 4) drains
water from a 5.6 acre area of approximately 87% woodland and 13% impervious
roadway from Capability Drive. The stream banks are very unstable in this section of the
project. The current scour-hole starts at the confluence with North Creek and is slowly
migrating northward from the channel headcut, which will eventually endanger the
culvert wing-wall on Varsity Drive and large hardwood trees currently stabilizing the
remaining stream bank.
Part III, Question 10: Overall Project Description
A constructed stormwater wetland and vegetated waterway system is proposed on
the abandoned terrace of North Creek to serve as a stormwater BMP retrofit on
Centennial Campus, NCSU. The proposed wetland will repair the eroded gullies, re-
route the stormwater into a stable swale and to the wetland for treatment. Plunge pools
consisting of large boulders and a geo-textile liner will be installed at the outlets of both
culverts to dissipate energy and remove larger sediment. The plunge pool at the SOC 3
culvert will discharge stormwater over a spillway reinforced with turf matting to the 1%
sloped vegetated waterway. The vegetated waterway is designed to handle peak flows
from the 25-yr storm event. The first section of the waterway handling discharges from
SOC 3 has a top width of 12 feet with a maximum depth of 1.5 feet. Where the waterway
merges with the reinforced spillway from the SOC 4 culvert plunge pool, the waterway
dimensions change to a top width of 16 feet, a maximum depth of 2.0 feet, and a channel
slope of 0.5%. Construction drawings for the stormwater wetland system are attached.
Due to the limited space for construction of the site, the proposed stormwater
wetland is designed to hold water from the first 0.3 inches of rainfall with a three-day
retention time for the stormwater. Considering the first-flush nature of pollutant runoff
during storm events, this stormwater wetland system will capture and treat a larger
proportion of the pollutants in the runoff compared to the fraction of runoff volume. A
modified flash board riser system will control the water level in the wetland and is
designed to safely route the 25-yr, 24-hr storm with minimum disturbance to the stream
and floodplain.
The surface area of the stormwater wetland is 3,978 sq ft, approximately 0.88% of
the total watershed area comprised of both SOC 3 and SOC 4 drainage areas.
Approximately 16% of the wetland contains two deep pools (at most 2.5 ft deep below
normal pool) and one shallow pool (at most 1.5 ft deep below normal pool). A sinuous
low-flow channel 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep connects the three pools and comprises
about 18% of the wetland surface area. A shallow water area between 0-6 inches below
the normal pool will encompass 36% of the total wetland surface area. The remainder of
the wetland surface area (45%) will contain shallow land that will only be completely
covered with water during storm events that reach the extended detention depth of 1-foot.
In order to construct the stormwater wetland and vegetated waterway system, the
existing ground will be excavated. Part of the road bank of Capability Drive will be
graded to a slope no greater than 2/1 in order to meet the grade requirements for the
wetland while maintaining 3/1 side slopes within the wetland as well as a required
distance of 15 ft from any trees larger than 9-inches. Excess cut soil from the wetland
will be used to fill the existing scour-hole and re-stabilize that section of the North Creek
stream bank. During the project, excavated soil will be stockpiled in designated areas,
and check dams with slope drains will be installed at the spillways to the two plunge
pools to safely divert stormwater to North Creek. In addition, a temporary sediment dam
will be installed at the exit of the scour-hole before the confluence with North Creek to
help remove any remaining sediment.
In order to maintain permanent stormwater wetland conditions the bed of the
wetland will be sealed using bentonite clay liners at the depth of excavation, with a
minimum permeability of 0.01 in/hr. The liners will be constructed by spreading
bentonite onto the soil surface, vertically distributing the bentonite into the existing soil
using a pug-mill mixer or other suitable mixing equipment, and then compacting the
liners using a backhoe, track hoe, or other compacting equipment. A soil geotechnical
consultant will be required to determine the amount of bentonite to add, the degree of
compaction, and will oversee the installation of the liner. The permeability of the liner
will be tested for quality assurance before construction of inner wetland features begins.
A layer of topsoil will also be added over the bentonite clay liner to prevent pH spikes
and provide a healthy media for vegetation.
The final phase of the stormwater wetland/waterway construction will be the
addition of vegetation within the wetlands and along the perimeter of the project site. A
variety of native wetland species will be placed in specified areas within the wetland,
grasses will be planted on the berms and vegetated waterway, and upland plants including
shrubs and trees will be added surrounding the wetland boundary to further improve the
riparian function of the floodplain.
In conjunction with the stormwater wetland system, we proposed stream
enhancements within the same stream reach. The primary stream impacts proposed are to
repair, stabilize, and revegetate a massively eroded are of the stream that the wetland will
protect. Additional impacts areas are in support of protecting the primary and emergency
outlets of the wetland. Stream impacts in these areas will be limited to reconstruction of
streambanks in the immediate area. The areas of impact are shown on the stormwater
wetland plans. The impact will be temporary and limited to one side of the bank unless
otherwise necessary. The total stream length impact is estimated at 20 feet at each of two
locations for a total less than 100 feet.
In addition, and as part of the overall project, stream and buffer enhancement has
been planned for the entire 1,050 foot reach. Woody vegetation has been severely
reduced along one side of the stream due to prior construction activities. The
enhancement plans include invasive species control, reestablishment of native woody tree
species, and bank stabilization with plantings. The enhancement work may involve a
minor amount of grading to physically remove debris, invasive vegetation, or to facilitate
planting efforts. No significant grading will take place in or around the stream and the
stream pattern and profile will remain unaltered. It is expected that some minor bank
grading may be necessary. However, this will be kept to a minimum and will be protected
immediately with erosion control matting and vegetation.
A final part of this project will involve the stabilization of an existing stormwater
outfall upstream of this site. The outfall is currently protected by an insufficient amount
of inadequately sized riprap. The area is actively eroding. The riprap will be replaced
with a series of rock step pools in an attempt to stabilize the area and prevent further
erosion. ( i-'-ic>c «--Ce? PLC-A-" 5 C-O(- q?,)
We are requesting approval of our stream and buffer enhancement plans
associated with this project. The details of planned stream impacts are shown on the
attached plans, and a concept plan of the enhancements is also included. This project will
be a model for an alternative, minimal approach to stream improvement in an urban area.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if additional information is needed.
Part III, Question 11: Purpose of the Proposed Work
The purpose of this project is to construct a stormwater wetland and vegetated
waterway system to improve the water quality and treatment of stormwater, re-stabilize
parts of North Creek's stream banks and terrace, reduce sediment transport, and to protect
and improve the remaining riparian trees and vegetation along the creek. The
wetland/waterway system is anticipated to reduce peak storm flows and help lower
nitrogen, phosphorus, suspended sediment, organic compounds, and metal concentrations
in the stormwater before it reaches North Creek, using stormwater retention and wetland
vegetation and microorganisms. The wetland will serve as a stormwater BMP retrofit on
Centennial Campus to improve water quality in the surrounding watershed. In
association with the wetland installation, trees, shrubs, and herbaceous wetland and
upland species will be planted on the terrace and floodplain in order to enhance the
riparian function and aesthetic characteristics.
Part V: Future Project Plans
Additional stream restoration is planned for a downstream reach of North Creek
south of Research Drive, approximately 1,000 feet downstream of the proposed BMP
retrofit (see vicinity map). Funding has not yet been secured so construction is not
scheduled.
Part VI: Proposed Impacts to Waters
Damage to Zone 1 exists within this section of North Creek and stream restoration
improvements will be completed in cooperation with the BMP retrofit project.
Part VII: Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to Zone 1 are primary related to stabilization of the streambank area. All
attempts have been made to minimize impacts to buffer and stream areas. However, due
to space constraints of the project, some temporary impacts are unavoidable. All
streambank impacts will result in a significant improvement to bank stability, and buffer
impact areas will be densely vegetated. It is our opinion that the site will improve water
quality, and contribute to stream and buffer habitat.

PROJECT NARRATIVE:
This project is part of the Water Quality and Biological Integrity Improvement Project in North Creek/Walnut
Creek It is a joint venture between North Carolina's Section 319 NPS Program end N.C. State University. The
goal of this project is to construct an innovative stormwater control enhancement to establish a natural
corridor through an urban setting while effectively treating urban stormwater pollutants. The proposed wetland
and vegetated Swale system will not only treat stormwater, but provide improvement in flood control and
enhance native wildlife habitat and ecological diversity. The project involves bulk earth movement, fine grading,
installation of pipng, final grading, and planting.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE:
1, locate and set up an appropriate site for stockpile of materiels and storage of equipment
2. Install all erasion control measures including construction entrance.
3. Remove downed trees and debris from eroded channel.
4. Construct plunge poets, check dams and slope drains at culvert outlets.
5. Remove and stockpile topsoil.
6. Begin moss grading operations.
7. Install outlet pipes/structures in wetland.
& Replace topsoil and complete fine grading.
9. Implement planting plan.
10. Request a completion inspection from the Project Engineer.
GRADING AND EROSION CONTROL NOTES:
1. AN erosion control must be set-up and inspected prior to commencement of grading operations.
2. Strip and stockpile topsoil in indicated areas for use as substrate in wetlands.
3. Culverts shall be reinforced concrete pipe or equivalent.
4. All elevations shown on the Project Drawings are restive. Utilize benchmarks as directed by the Project
Engineer. Grading stall be met within a tolerance of 0.1'
5. Stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable in portions of the site where construction
activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case more than fourteen (14) days after work has
ceased, unless activity in that portion of the site will resume within twenty-one (21) days.
6. NI sediment and erosion control devices shall be inspected every seven (7) days or after each rainfall
occurence that exceeds one-half (1/2) inch. Damaged or ineffective devices shall be repaired or replaced, as
necessary.
control devices shall be properly maintained during oil phases of
may be required during construction in order to control erosion and/or off-site sedimentation. AN temporary
control devices shall be removed once construction is complete and the site is stabilized.
8. The contractor must take necessary action to minimize the tracking of mud onto the paved roadway
construction areas. The contractor shall daily remove mud/soil from pavement, as may be required.
9. Temporary diversion berms and/or ditches will be provided as needed during construction to protect work
arem from upslope runoff and/or to divert sediment laden runoff water to appropriate trope or stable outlets.
Recommended Wetland Maintenance Activities
1. Outlet 6 Inlet
2 Perkxlk: trash removal. As needed Clean trash from wetland interior as needed
for wetland aesthetics.
3 Destroy muskrat holes (do this when dokg t2 above).
4. Do not mow planted weUand sideslopes. The tops of berms and bacbbpes may be mowed
at the City's discretion. 'No mow zone' signs are recommended at a minimum 10' foot
distance from protected areas.
5. Invasive Species Removal. Once per year. Only necessary for cattail removal or to improve
site aesthetics.
6. Mina Outlet/Inlet repair. Once every 2-3 years. Identify and repair erosion problems.
Replace damaged !wards in flashboard risers.
similar equip may be needed Due to the developed
activity may not ever be necessary.

SEDIMENT FENCE
N.T.S.
L CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
1. Nark the intended fine of placement for the sediment fence
on the ground at the site as outlined on the plan.
2. Construct the sediment fence of standard strength
or extra strength synthetic titer fabric. Do not use
fabrics that are quickly biodegradable. Synthetic fitter
fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers
to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable
construction Ilfe at a temperature range of 0' to 120' F.
Ensure that the height of the silt fence does not exceed
eighteen (18) inches above the ground.
3. Construct the fitter fabric from a continuous roll cut to
the length of the barrier to avoid joints. When joints are
necessary, securely fasten the filter cloth only at o support
post with overlap to the next post. For reinforcement of
fitter fabric, use wire fence with a minimum fourteen (14)
gauge and a maximum mesh spacing of six (6) inches.
4. Support fitter fabric with wire mesh fastened securely to the
upsbpe of the posts using either tie wires or heavy duty wire
staples at least one (1) inch long. Extend the wire mesh to
support the bottom of the trench.
5. Space posts a maximum of eight (8) feel apart Support
should be driven securely into the ground to a minimum depth
of eighteen (18) inches. Ensure that the posts for sediment
fences are 1.33 Ib/Inear ft steel with a minimum length of
four (4) feel Make sure that steel posts have projections to
facilitate fastening the fabric.
6. Excavate a trench approximately four (4) inches wide and
eight (8) inches deep along the proposed line of posts and upslope
from the bonier.
7. Bmkfill the trench With compacted soil or gravel placed
over the filter fabric.
8. Do not attach the titer fabric to existing trees.
11. MAINTENANCE
1. Fen" posts which have become dislodged or displaced
for any reason Shall be immediately replaced.
2. Teas in the fabric of the fencing shall likewise be repaired
to maintain the intended function of the silt fence.
3. The proper function of the sediment fence is to be maintained
at all times.
1. Confirm with the Southern Pines Public Works Department that
removal of the fen" Is acceptable.
2. Remove the sediment fen" and smooth the disturbed area to
blend with the surrounding topography.

CHECK DAM/SEDIMENT TRAP
N.T.S.
1. CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
1. place stone to to rues and dimensions shown in the plan on a fitter fabric
foundation.
2. Keep the center stone section at least nine (9) inches below natural ground level where
the dam abuts the channel banks.
3. Extend the stone at least one and a half (1.5) feet beyond the ditch banks to keep overflew
water from undercutting the dam as it re-enters the channel.
4. Use four (4) to fifteen (15) inch stone (NCDOT class 1 or class B erosion control
stone).
II. MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect channel for damage after each runoff event.
2. Remove sediment accumulated behind check dam as needed to prevent damage to
channel vegetation, allow the channel to drain through the stone check dam, and
prevent large flows from carrying sediment over the dam.
3. Add stones to the dam as needed to maintain design height and cross section.
