4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
In the past, industrial and commercial operations in and around the project area, close proximity to downtown Siler City, and the railroad industry resulted in dredging and straightening
of Loves creek. Existing town sanitary utilities are constructed in vary close proximity to the streambanks. Some streambanks are over steepened and risk exposing sanitary utilities. The
floodplain is extensively altered by fill materials, construction debris and abandoned debris, and invasive species. There are some existing wetlands and an old farm pond on the
floodplain which is heavily sedimented. The project reach is approximately 1/-mile from downtown Siler City and adjacent to a residential neighborhood. The project reach is bisected by
an active freight rail line.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
4d. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the LISGS topographic map indicating the location of the project site. (for DWR)
NC_Siler_City_20190720_TM_geo--Paper Alley Loves Creek.pdf 98.36MB
4e. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the published County NRCS Soil Survey map depicting the project site. (for DWR)

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.4
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
782
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The project is being undertaken by the Piedmont Conservation Council with the objective to restore the stream and floodplain and then give the land to the Town of Siler City. The
purpose of the project is to restore the stream channel and floodplain of Loves Creek through the project area.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
In accordance with this objective stream and floodplain evaluations were conducted and plans developed. Throughout the project reach, where banks are over -steepened or sanitary
sewer utilities are at -risk of exposure, bank stabilization techniques, including, bank sloping, planting, coir matting, stone toe protection, live stakes, and vegetative geolifts, are
proposed. Additional measures are proposed to improve the stream habitat and the social experience at the stream, including boulder clusters and double wing deflectors, respectively.
On the floodplain, debris, an abandon house, and invasive species will be removed and some areas will be lightly graded to improve, expand, and enhance existing wetland hydrology.
The existing farm pond will be converted to a wetland and enhanced by creation of deep and shallow pools with planted vegetation. All disturbed areas will be stabilized with vegetation.
In areas not conflicting with existing utilities appropriate native floodplain forest will be reestablished. Upland areas will be planted with a wildflower meadow seed mix. Track excavators,
track bulldozers, dump trucks, and skid steers as well as hand tools are all equipment that may be employed to accomplish this task.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The entire stream reach was evaluated and areas with the most instability were chosen for improvement and enhancements. Floodplain grading will be
conducted to improve hydrologic connectivity and a)pand wetland hydrology across the floodplain. The project is designed to improve streambank
stability, floodplain function, and overall ecological habitat in the project area.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Impacts to the stream are minimized to areas that most need bank stabilization and protection of public utilities. Bank stabilization work will be
conducted from the top of bank where possible to minimize streambed disturbance. Low ground pressure, track based equipment will be used to
minimize soil compaction on the floodplain.
