Town of Whitakers, NC >FEB 1 3 1004
P L A N N I N G TWC No. 2744-F
A R C H I T E C T U R E? " WATER QUALITY SECTION
Dear Mr. Zarzecki:
Please find attached seven (7) Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) applications
requesting authorization to impact the Tar-Pamlico River Buffer to perform
maintenance activities on the Town of Whitakers' main drainage way as we
discussed in our February 13'x' meeting in the field with you and Mr. Steve
Mitchell (DWQ), representatives of the town, and the contractor. No fee is
attached because 404/401 certification is not required to perform maintenance
activities on the ditch per Mr. Kevin Yates with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The attached map, prepared by The Wooten Company, represents
waters that are subject to 15A NCAC 02B .0259 as determined by Mr. Steve
Mitchell out in the field.
The purpose of the project is to clean out the ditch outfall (to original dimensions
and profile) to provide positive drainage out of the town to help alleviate flooding
that is causing safety concerns (water standing in the streets) and water quality
concerns (potential sanitary sewer overflows). The work will be completed from
1 side of the ditch utilizing a 20' corridor in wooded buffers that will be re-
vegetated and maintained for future maintenance. Trees 5" and greater DBH will
be avoided within corridor to the maximum extent practical while still allowing
for the maintenance work to be completed. Over half of the work to be completed
will be within an existing agriculture field where the buffer is utilized for row
crops. Please see PCN application for more details.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please let us know.
Sincerely,
The Wooten Company

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Ditch outfalls need to be cleaned out. Land use varies from
residential to partially wooded to agriculture
Page 6 of 13
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
proiect involves the removal of sediment buildup and debris from the main drainage ditch
outfall through town to obtain positive drainage When adjacent to agricultural fields and
residential yards, sediment and debris will be moved a minimum of 30' from the top bank of
the ditch. Within the agricultural fields the sediment will be incomorated by the farmer and
existing use will continue. Within residential yards the sediment will be used to fill in low
areas and then the area will be seeded. When removing sediment and debris from wooded
areas, the material will be loaded into a dump truck and hauled outside the 50' buffer area of
state waters to an upland area (no wetlands) and spreadout and seeded Proper erosion
control measures (silt fence) will be utilized to protect the surrounding area as needed The
banks (side slopes) are to be left alone except for removal of brush (mowing) All work in
buffered areas (see map) will be completed from 1 side of the ditch All work in wooded
buffered areas will be completed within a 20' corridor starting at the top of the bank and
working outward. Within the 20' corridor, impact will be minimized to the maximum by
avoiding all trees 5" and greater DBH when possible while still being able to perform
maintenance operation. The 20' corridor will be seeded (vegetated) and then maintained for
future ditch maintenance. The equipment to be used includes: a mower, track excavator,
bulldozer (to spread sediment in designated areas and to finish grade within future
maintenance corridor before seeding dump truck and various hand tools
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the project is to clean out the
ditch outfall (to original dimensions and profile) to provide positive drainage out of the town

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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.
To minimize impacts the town met in the field with Mr. Bob Zarzecki and Mr. Steve Mitchell
with NCDWQ on February 13th to discuss project approach In general the ditch will be cleaned
from 1 side only and the banks are to be undisturbed to the maximum extent practical except for
mowing. Within wooded buffers a 20' corridor will be utilized and impacts will be minimized
to the maximum extent practical by not disturbing as many trees 5" DBH or greater as possible
while still being able to perform maintenance operations See the attached cover letter for
details.
VIII. Mitigation NONE
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 March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP 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.iie.us/ncwetlaiids/strmgide.htm1.
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,
Page 10 of 13
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.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NC WRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NC WRP at
