Dave:
Attached are Minutes (minus attachments due to file size) from the Pre -Construction Meeting held on 8/8/2019 for the
referenced Department of the Army Permit. Jacobs CH2M's Matt Wright described the on-site and adjacent
jurisdictional resources permitted to be impacted and those to be protected. Per the revised 404 Agenda, MICHAEL
BAKER'S Terry Burhans conveyed the Corps' concerns for off-site sediment loss and turbidity in downstream waters and
requested the contractors pay close attention to the water entering the downstream aquatic resources from the work
area to ensure that all water quality standards are being met. Terry then summarized each of the applicable 404 and
401 Permit conditions and clarified the availability of the Permits and requirement for on-site access. Please let me
know if you have any questions or comments regarding PTAA compliance with Permit conditions. Thanks.

6. 401/404 Permit
a. See separate agenda attached
b. Draining of ponds is anticipated to begin August 9, 2019
Contractor should review the 401/404 permit and ensure that work conforms to its conditions
throughout the project.
Summary:
1. Offsite sediment loss and turbidity of downstream waters should be considered at all times,
and water quality standards must be met.
2. If the following items are discovered on the site, the Corps of Engineers should be notified,
and a work stoppage should be expected: archeologic remains, protected or endangered
species, and cultural resources.
3. Water should be protected from coming into contact with fresh concrete.
4. The Corps and NCDEQ reserve the right to inspect the site at any time, to ensure that their
standards are being met.
5. The 401/404 permit must be accessible on the site at all times. It is located on the airport's
Environmental SharePoint site (https:Hprojects.mbakercorp.com/PTIA/404/NW_IP.pdf)
6. No impact to wetlands is permitted. A buffer must be maintained that is a minimum of 15 feet
from the edge of the wetland as shown on the plans. Surveyor must stake it out, and
contractor must protect it with silt fence.
7. Any additional impacts to stream flow are not authorized. Culverts must be installed so that
the original profile of the stream is not altered.
8. Equipment must not leak fluids and contaminate the stream. Best practices must be used for
equipment maintenance and cleaning.
9. Fill material must come from an upstream location and must not contain "unsightly" debris.
Other:
1. NEPA process and environmental evaluation has been conducted, and there are no
anticipated resources in this area. If something is uncovered during construction, then there
needs to be notification.
2. Contractor should ensure that all parties are using conformed documents.
3. The Spill Response Plan and instructions can be found in Appendix B.
4. The contractor must keep the land disturbance permit on site at all times and may be asked
to produce it if DEQ or the Corps inspects the site.
5. Wright Brothers plans to start dewatering Aug 9, with the official notice to proceed to take
effect on the 19th. Water from the ponds must be clean before it enters receiving channels.
6. See airport specific SPPP attached to these minutes. — Contractor should contact Richard
Darling at rdarling@mbakerintl.com for access to the website that contains the most updated
version of the SPPP.
7. Additionally, for the airport specific SPCC, Contractor should contact Richard Darling at
rdarling@mbakerintl.com for access to the website that contains the most updated version of
the SPCC.
7. Erosion and Sediment Control
a. Phasing/Order of Construction
i. No specific construction phasing, but order of construction as indicated on the plans must
be adhered to for E&S to be successful
ii. E&S control measures will stay in place after construction is complete—The project's land
disturbance permit allows for leaving erosion control devices in place.
b. Coordination with DEQ
c. Erosion Control Inspections and corrective action
August 8, 2019 Northwest Development — Phase 2 Page 3

their own inspections and maintenance — The contractor shall monitor and continually
maintain devices. The airport will engage Pilot Environmental to conduct inspections.
8. Unsuitable Excavation
a. Can be wasted on site — There is a stockpile location marked on the plans. Coordination with the
Engineer is required before storing material.
b. Definition of unsuitable - Wet soil is not considered unsuitable. Soil that is unsuitable is
characterized by excessive organic and root material. This soil must be hauled off site and disposed
of by the Contractor.
9. Specifications
a. 10% Mobilization Limit - C-105 Specifications provide specific method of payment for mobilization.
i. Engineer Field Office —Section 60-05
b. 40% of work must be completed by Prime Contractor

out. Educational requirement for each role is listed in the specs, please reference them.
Testing — modified proctor, 6-12" lifts and every 3,000 yards of earthwork in accordance with Item
P-152. Embankment is to be compacted to 95% of maximum density unless otherwise shown.
Diagram on plans shows areas under future pavement to be compacted to 100% of maximum
density. Optimum moisture content requirements are +4%, -3%.
Testing should be done soon before installing a new lift. There should not be a long delay between
testing and installing a new lift, and retesting should be done if there has been inclement weather
since the last test.
Kessel will notify contractor of failing tests immediately and will submit documentation daily or
weekly. If moisture is a major issue, Kessel will notify Jacobs and recommend exploring alternate
methods.
Both Kessel and ECS are using nuclear gauges. Both parties should use the same proctors, soil
samples, etc. QC/QA may present a weekly tabular summary instead of a daily report.
d. Utility Adjustment — Section 01001
e. Pre/Post Survey
Contractor shall perform a pre/post survey that is to be provided to the Owner. The
difference in volume between these surveys is the bases of payment for earthwork.

ii. Unsuitable Excavation — measured in the field. No separate payment for replacement
material.

NCDOT is funding the project so do NCDOT testing requirements apply?
NO, FAA (federal) specification P-152 shall be followed.
Can a 7,000 -gallon fuel tank be stored on site?
The contractor must make the airport aware and follow regulations for fuel storage.
Can a trailer with lubricants be stored on site?
Contractor will follow up after the meeting about what exactly needs to be on site, and
Jacobs will coordinate.
During winter, excess moisture may be a problem. Is the use of lime allowed?
The decision will need to be made at a later date.
Are there any existing survey control points?
Jacobs will provide control points that were used for the aerial survey.
Question: While draining EP -4, after EP -3 is drained, is it permitted to start logging the individual
trees in the area, and install check dams in the empty bed of EP -3? Grubbing activity
would occur after SB -1 is constructed.
Answer: Submit an RFI including a drawing markup specifying the disturbance and erosion control
methods proposed.

Special Condition 5 of the Clean Water Act Section 404 Individual Permit (Action ID SAW -2012-01547)
issued on April 11, 2016 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to the Piedmont Triad
Airport Authority (PTAA) for the Northwest Site Development including cross -field taxiway specifies the
onsite pre -construction meeting. Preliminary clearing and grubbing of the permitted construction areas,
excluding jurisdictional waters and riparian buffers, was approved on August 25, 2017. Construction is
scheduled to commence approximately two weeks after this pre -construction meeting.
Introductions
Attendees will provide contact information on "sign -in" sheet. Signatures of attending contractor
personnel indicate understanding and acceptance of responsibilities for compliance with all applicable
conditions of the 404 Individual Permit and 401 Water Quality Certification.
Specific USACE Concerns
"Given that the aquatic resources being impacted by the upcoming construction are impoundments on a
golf course, the Corps is primarily concerned with off-site sediment loss and turbidity in downstream
waters. The dewatering plan you submitted appears reasonable; however, please pay close attention to
the water entering the downstream aquatic resources from your work area to ensure that all water
quality standards are being met. ...If specific issues arise at the meeting that concern the Corps' permit
or aquatic resources, please let me [David Bailey] know."
