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:*
This is a request for a revision to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Verification (SAW-2017-00096), and N.C. Department of Water Resources 401 Water Quality
Certification and Neuse Buffer Authorization (NCDWR Project No. 18-0049) issued for the Eno River Outfall Upgrade project located in Durham, Durham County, North Carolina.
The entire project extends from Guess Road to the eAsting Eno Lift station north of the Hanson Stone Quarry. The section of the project roughly between North Roxboro Road and the
lift station (Phase 1) is currently under construction. This request is for revisions to the alignment between Guess Road and North Roxboro Road (Phase 11). The Phase II alignment was
modified due to design changes, property owner requirements and other engineering factors. The alignment shift resulted in a change in the amount of impacts. In addition, a newarea
was added at the West Point on the Eno. This request and attached documents outline all changes in the impacts. This request was submitted to the USACE and NCDWR via email on
10/20/2019.
Based on comments received from NCDOT the construction access from Guess Road was realigned. This increase wetland impacts at Site 13. This change was submitted to the
USACE and and NCDWR via email on 11/18/2019
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

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The following project purpose was included in the original 1/9/2018 PCN form.
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct and replace approx 18,214 LF of a 24-, 36-, and 48-inch gravity sewer line ouffall along the Eno River, Crooked Creek, Jumping
Run, and Mill Creek stream corridors.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The following project description was included in the original 1/9/2018 PCN form.
The project will consist of construction in both eAsting and new utility easement corridors. Construction will involve clearing obstructive vegetation from new and eAsting utility
easements as needed, excavation of sewer line trench, installation of a 24-, 36-, or 48-inch sewer line, and back -fill with native soil. Heavy equipment will be utilized, e.g. dump trucks,
back hoes, etc. Construction equipment will utilize mats in wetland areas to minimize wetland impacts and temporary wetland impact areas will reseeded with a wetland plant mix and
allowed to revegetate naturally. Where possible streams will be crossed perpendicularly, and impacted stream beds will be restored to original elevations following construction. Erosion
control measures are proposed along the entire construction corridor. A permanent 10 ft. maintenance easement will be maintained following construction.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:

All term and conditions in the original authorization will still apply and be followed. The following measures will be implemented to reduce impacts.
Construction equipment will utilize mats in wetland areas to minimize wetland impacts and temporary wetland impact areas will be re -seeded with a
wetland plant mix and allowed to revegetate naturally. Temporary stream impacts will be restored to preconstruction elevations using native bed
materials. Permanent stream impacts will be restored to preconstruction elevations using rip rap allowing native bed material to reestablish overtime.
Parallel Zone 1 buffer impacts that occur within forested areas within the temporary project construction corridor will be replanted using two native
tree, shrub, or forest species, and monitored until a species density of 260 trees per acre is attained at maturity.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All term and conditions in the original authorization will still apply and be followed. The following measures will be implemented to reduce impacts.
Construction equipment will utilize mats in wetland areas to minimize wetland impacts and temporary wetland impact areas will be re -seeded with a
wetland plant mix and allowed to revegetate naturally. Temporary stream impacts will be restored to preconstruction elevations using native bed
materials. Permanent stream impacts will be restored to preconstruction elevations using rip rap allowing native bed material to reestablish overtime.
Parallel Zone 1 buffer impacts that occur within forested areas within the temporary project construction corridor will be replanted using two native
tree, shrub, or forest species, and monitored until a species density of 260 trees per acre is attained at maturity.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes
r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Additional mitigation is not required based on reviewof impacts. Buffer mitigation for Zone 1 Mitigable permanent impacts was provided for in the original authorization. The realignment
decrease these mitigable impacts. Impacts to stream and wetlands will not result in a permanent loss of their functions.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes
r No
What type of SCM are you providing?

r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
P Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
