Subject: Water Line Crossing, South Fork River
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Young:
This corrected approval replaces the one issued on November 5, 2004 for the impact to 0.47 acre of
wetland and 40 linear linear feet (If) of the South Fork Catawba River in order to install a water line for the
Town of Cramerton in Gaston County, as described in your.application received by the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on. September 3, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is
covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3374, which can be viewed on our web site at
htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
12 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note that you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited
to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described
in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send
us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the
Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
In addition to the requirements of the subject certification, you must also comply with the following
conditions:
1. 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 Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities
shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
2. The Mooresville Regional office shall be notified in writing once construction of the project has begun.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of
such BMP in order to protect surface water standards.
4. 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 two months of the date the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.

5. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. Please send photographs
upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of
Completion form.
6. Continuing Compliance. The Town of Cramerton shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with state
water quality standards (including any requirements for compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water
Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines that such
standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that
state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ
may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such
standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification,
DWQ shall notify the Town of Cramerton and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to the Town of Cramerton in writing, shall
be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, 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 that
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

Comments:
Staff visited the site on October 19, 2004. Town of Cramerton request approval to extend a 12"
water line across the South Fork River (315 ft across). The line will be buried approximately 3 ft
below the surface. In addition, a wetland/backwater will be im acte 200 ft across). A 10 ft
permenant maintenance corridor is proposed.
It was initialler proposed that rip rap be used as backfill. It is to be determined if the amount of rip rap
can be reduced and that soil be used for the major portion of backfill except for 12"-24" of rip rap as
protection- HOLD TILL FURTHER NOTICE

USI Project No. 040205
Dear Mr. Johnson:
In response to your site inspection and plan review comments, we have revised the subject plans to
include the following:
1) The cover over the proposed pipe within the river and backwater limits of the project has been
revised to 1 foot of rip rap and 1 foot of natural stream bed soil, for a total of 2 feet of cover. The
trench section has been modified to reduce the amount of rip rap placed around the pipe within
the trench. See the typical section on Plan Sheet 2, and the profiles on Sheets 3 and 4.
2) A temporary 40-foot wide construction easement is shown across the river, island, and backwater
areas of the project (Station 1+50 to 8+30). A 10-foot wide permanent easement will be required
across the river and backwater sections for future maintenance of the water main. The total
permanent impact to the river and wetland areas will be 10 feet wide.
3) By this letter, a 20-foot wide permanent easement is requested across the island (Station 4+60 to
6+85) in order for construction equipment to have adequate space for maintaining the easement
in the future.
Please review the revised plans and notify us of your comments. If you have any further questions, please
contact us at 704-342-3007.
Sincerely,
USInfrastructure

Staff visited the site on October 19, 2004. Town of Cramerton request approval to extend a 12"
water line across the South Fork River (315 ft across). The line will be buried approximately 3, ft
below the surface. In addition, a wetland/backwater will be im ap cted (200 ft across). A 10 ft
nermenant maintenance corridor is proposed.
It was initially proposed that rip rap be used as backfill. It is to be determined if the amount of riprap_

RE: Pre-Construction Notification Application
South Fork River Crossing Water Main Improvements WATER QUALITY SECTION
Cramerton, North Carolina
USI Project No. 040205
Dear Mr. Chapin:
041480
Enclosed is the Pre-Construction Notification Application (PCN) for the Nationwide permit that
requires notification to the Corps of Engineers. The Town of Cramerton previously applied for
and received a Nationwide Permit 12 and a 401 Water Quality Certificate to construct this project
(see attached letters). The project was not constructed after the permits were received in 1996 due
to lack of sufficient funds. At this time, the Town plans to install the water main and wishes to
renew the application for the Nationwide Permit No. 12. Every effort has been made for the
design to conform to the Conditions of Certification listed with the Nationwide Permit. One
exception is that the Town of Cramerton requires a 20-foot wide permanent utility easement to
provide access for maintenance of the water line.
The option of horizontal directional drilling for installation of this project was investigated. Test
results from four bores onsite showed that bedrock with a hardness of up to 32,000 psi is highly
probable along the entire length and depth of the proposed drilled project. Construction estimates
for this type of installation were economically unfeasible for the Town to justify the cost of the
project. See the "Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Construction Feasibility and Analysis"
report included with this Submittal.
Please review the enclosed application and notify us of your comments. If you have any
questions, please contact us at 704-342-3007.
Sincerely,
USInfrastructure A

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.

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.
The nrouosed water line is needed to provide a secondary source of water and fire protection for
the Timberlake Subdivision on the east side of the river. Currently, Timberlake and the
surrounding are served by a single dead end water line. The location of the river crossing has
been selected to connect the east and west sides of the river at the shortest distance possible. The
Page 9 of 13
option of horizontal directional drilling for installation of this project was investigated. Test
results from four bores onsite showed that bedrock with a hardness of up to 32,000 psi is highly
probably along the entire length and depth of the proposed drilled project Construction estimates
for this We of installation were economically unfeasible for the Town to justify the cost of the
project See attached geotechnical report. Erosion control measures will be installed at the
project site to minimize sedimentation. Matting will be required at all locations where
construction equipment cross wetlands.
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 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
htip://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/stringide.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.

SOUTH FORK RIVER CROSSING IN CRAMERTON, NC
1.1 Background
US Infrastructure (USI) contracted Rummel, Klepper and Kahl, LLP, (RK&K) to
provide engineering, geotechnical, and consulting services for the South Fork River
Crossing Water Main Improvements in Cramerton, NC. This project includes
approximately 800-feet of water main to be installed under the South Fork River. USI
is planning to cross the river with horizontal directional drilling (HDD) methods.
RK&K's primary task was a subsurface investigation to determine the suitability of
the location for HDD construction. RK&K was assigned to:
• Review published soil reports and other available data to determine existing site
conditions. --
• Provide test borings and soil/rock analysis to fully characterize and verify the
conditions- of the sub-grade along the proposed bore path. -
• Provide a comprehensive report of the findings and make recommendations
concerning the site's suitability for HDD construction.
1.2 Research and Review of Existing Geotechnical Data
RK&K researched and reviewed available geotechnical data for the project area. The
purpose of the research and review was to obtain information concerning the
subsurface conditions in the project area. RK&K began the subsurface investigation
with a review of existing data from the U.S. Geological Society, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Gaston County GIS Division and the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT). In addition to the research, RK&K performed field
obtained concerning rock in
the project area. Based on the NCDOT Geotechnical database, testing of 14 samples
of metamorphosed quartz diorite in this region indicates a range in unconfined
compressive strengths of 14,000 to 36,800 psi with a mean of 22,200 psi and a
standard. deviation of 6,000 psi.

reconnaissance The key area of in the interest project from area to RK&K's study the research site was data conditions.

r
1.3 Geotechnical Test Bores 1
Using the preliminary bore path profile and alignment RK&K contracted Concord
Engineering to drill four test bores, two on each side of the river, to a depth of
approximately 30-feet. The purpose of the test bores was to define the local geology
and associated geotechnical conditions pertinent to the HDD crossing. Due to the
subsurface conditions encountered five test bores were actually completed. The
complete geotechnical report and bore logs are contained in Attachment 1.
The test bores revealed key information concerning the project sites suitability for
HDD construction. Weathered rock was encountered at each of the test bores except
B-lA (west side of the river) at depths ranging from 13.5 to 23.5 feet below present
grades. Bedrock was encountered at test bore B-IA at 23 feet of depth. The bedrock
was composed of tonalite (metamorphosed quartz diorite). The bedrock is massively
bedded, very fractured and highly weathered. The rock quality designation (RQD) is
22% which is very poor rock quality. The rock hardness is approximately 7 based on
the Moh's Hardness Scale. The two cores exhibited uniaxial compressive strengths
(to the nearest 500 psi) of 32,000 and 26,500 psi. This is classified as very hard rock.
1.4 HDD Construction
The horizontal directional drilling process represents a significant improvement over
conventional trenching methods for installing pipelines beneath obstructions, such as
rivers or wetlands, which warrant specialized construction attention. The HDD
construction method has several advantages to trenched construction in this
application. Utilizing HDD construction would:
• Place the pipeline at a greater depth than trenched construction resulting in a
lesser chance of encountering cover issues in the future,
• Result in the least amount of terrain disturbance,
• Have the least environmental impact, and
• Be in compliance with the desire of the Army Corps of Engineers and the
North Carolina State Regional Programs for utility pipeline installations
under streams and in wetlands to be by HDD when feasible.
1.5 HDD Construction Suitability at Proposed Crossing
Three standards are used to assess the feasibility of HDD for a given crossing. These
include the technical, contractual, and economic standards. First, a crossing is
technically feasible if it can be installed using existing equipment and techniques
regardless of uncertainties surrounding the cost of installation. Second, a crossing is
contractually feasible if the cost of installation can be accurately estimated in
advance by the contractors allowing them to submit bids. Third, a crossing is
economically feasible if its estimated installation cost is within the planned project
r
r 2
budget and is less than or comparable to the cost of installation by conventional
construction methods.
1.5.1 Technical Feasibility
The technical feasibility of a proposed HDD installation can be predicted by
comparing it to past installations in three basic parameters: drilled length, pipe
diameter, and subsurface soil material. These three parameters work in combination
to limit what can be achieved at a given location. While length, diameter, and
subsurface soil material work in combination to limit the technical feasibility of an
HDD installation, technical feasibility is primarily limited by subsurface soil
material. Two material characteristics prevent successful establishment of either an
open hole or fluid condition. These are large grain content (i.e. gravel, cobbles) and
excessive rock strength and hardness. Soils consisting principally of coarse grained
material present a serious restriction on the feasibility of HDD. Coarse material
cannot be readily fluidized by the drilling fluid. Neither is it stable enough to be cut
nor removed in a drilling fluid stream through an open hole as is the case in a
crossing drilled in competent rock. A boulder or cluster of cobbles will remain in the
drilled path and present an obstruction to a bit, reamer, or pipeline. They must be
mechanically displaced during borehole enlargement. Exceptionally strong and hard
rock will hamper all phases of an HDD project.
Experience has shown competent rock with unconfined compressive strengths
exceeding 30,000 psi and Mohs Scale of Hardness factors ranging somewhat above 7
can be negotiated with today's technology. However, entry of such materials at depth
is usually difficult. The directional drilling string tends to deflect rather than
penetrate. Conversely, poor quality (extensively fractured or jointed) rock can
present the same problems as coarse granular deposits.
Crossing the South Fork River at the proposed location with HDD construction is
technically feasible. There are several surface and subsurface conditions that will
make HDD construction challenging with a high degree of risk. The key conditions
are:
• The rock encountered in test bore B-IA is very hard rock: The rock
hardness is approximately 7 based on the Moh's Hardness Scale. The two
cores exhibited uniaxial compressive strengths (to the nearest 500 psi) of
32,000 and 26,500 psi. The test bores identified relatively large amounts of
quartz embedded in the bedrock. This makes drilling difficult due to the
hardness and fragmentation characteristics of the rock. Drilling is this type of
rock is technically feasible with current drilling equipment; however the
production rate in this type of rock is very slow resulting is high HDD
construction cost.
• Weathered rock: Weathered rock often contains a very coarse granular
fraction consisting of gravel, cobbles, and boulders. Although these
conditions were not encountered in the test bores, they can be expected given
the parent bedrock.
• Road off of Cramer Mountain Road at the HDD entry location: This road
appears to be an access road for houses in the area. The access road connects
to another road and loops back to Cramer Mountain Road. Due to the rock
that was encountered during the test bores the HDD will have to be
conducted utilizing larger drilling rigs and rock drilling equipment. This rock
drilling equipment requires more workspace for the HDD than normal HDD
equipment. To provide adequate workspace, the access road will have to be
closed or reduced to one lane at the HDD location. Based on the subsurface
conditions, we should anticipate that this HDD will take approximately 6-
weeks to complete. Permission to close the road or close a lane on the access
road at the HDD location needs to be determined and obtained prior to
proceeding with the HDD design.
1.5.2 Contractual Feasibility
® Once the technical feasibility of a prospective HDD installation has been established,
its contractual feasibility can be assessed. This assessment is accomplished in the
same way as technical feasibility, by comparing it to past installations. If the crossing
falls near the limits of the state of the art in any of the basic parameters; length,
diameter, or soil conditions, it is possible that it may be viewed by contractors as too
risky to undertake for a fixed lump sum price. It should be understood, however, that
determination of contractual feasibility is very subjective and will vary for individual
contractors based on their experience and commercial situation. In today's market
for HDD services, most crossings that are technically feasible will be bid on a lump
sum basis by at least one contractor. Nonetheless, it is not unusual to receive only
one lump sum bid for state of the art crossings or for lump sum bids received to be
very high. If contractual feasibility is questionable, the benefits of a day work
contract or an alternate construction method should be considered.
RK&K has discussed this project with several HDD contractors. While all of the
contractors would prefer to contract a HDD crossing at this site with a daywork
contract, several said that they would be willing to provide a lump sum bid. See
sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 for a more detailed discussion of lump sum and daywork
contracts.
1.5.3 Economic Feasibility
Determining the economic feasibility of a prospective HDD installation is a fairly
straightforward exercise involving comparison of the estimated cost of HDD with the
estimated cost of conventional installation methods. If the HDD estimate is less than
or comparable to the cost of conventional installation, it is economically feasible.
To the extent possible, the estimated costs of all methods of construction include the
consideration of all costs associated with the construction, permitting and site
restoration. The cost of HDD installations can be reduced by providing the contractor
4
with an engineered design including sufficient subsurface information for tailoring
the contractor's drilling program. Risk sharing by the owner can also reduce the
HDD bid price.

1.5.3.1 Estimated Costs
RK&K developed these preliminary cost estimates to allow for the economic
feasibility analysis. The estimates should be used for preliminary planning purposes
only. More accurate cost estimates should be developed during the design phase.
The preliminary design for the HDD crossing has a drilled length of 912-feet. RK&K
developed estimated costs for the HDD construction based on our experience, past
HDD projects and bids, historical HDD cost data, and conversations with several
HDD contractors that have expressed an interest in bidding on this work. While it is
hard to predict the results of the bidding process, we believe that the interest shown
by several HDD contractors and the current competitive bidding climate would result
in several bidders for this project. The following table provides preliminary costs
estimates for HDD construction for this project.
Estimated Costs
Option Low Cost Average Cost Hi h Cost
Lump Sum Contract $456,000 $684,000 $912,000
$500 per foot $750 per foot $1,000 per foot
Daywork Contract $350,000 $404,000 $495,000
See note 1 $6,700 per day $8,200 per day $10,500 per day
Note 1: All daywork costs are based on 36 workdays. Cost does not include consumables
such as bentonite, polymers, additives, and water. Daywork contract costs are lower because
the owner is assuming most of the risk.
With the information available RK&K cannot determine if the HDD crossing is
economically feasible or within the city's budget for this project. Due to the site
conditions this river crossing by HDD is a relatively expensive HDD operation. It is
possible that other methods of crossing the river may prove more economical.
RK&K recommends that the owner evaluate other possible methods of conducting
the crossing such as:
Rerouting the pipeline to a bridge and cross the river by hanging the pipe
from the bridge.
Installing the pipeline on the river bottom with river weights.
11.6 Summary and Recommendations 1
0
1.6.1 Summary
The proposed HDD crossing of the South Fork River is technically and
contractually feasible. The economic feasibility will need to be determined based
on the owner's budgetary constraints and other possible construction alternatives.
r-1
prime contractor's markup; and the prime contractor not negotiating with the HDD
contractor as aggressively as the owner would.
Recommendation No.4 - Utilize an Informal Bid Procedure for the HDD
There are not that many HDD contractors that have the experience and equipment to
undertake a project in these types of conditions. Using the normal advertise bid
procedure would probably not be very productive. RK&K recommends that the
owner use an informal bid procedure and issue the bid documents to several pre-
qualified HDD contractors.
Recommendation No.5 - Remove the 16-inch Casing Pipe from the Final Design
RK&K was told that the purpose of the casing pipe was to allow the owner the
ability to remove the carrier pipe in the future if needed. With a drill in this type of
rock the hole in the rock will act as a casing. The hole should remain in tact and
allow the owner to remove the carrier pipe if required. This would significantly
reduce the cost of the HDD.

MEMORANDUM WETLANDS/ 401 GROUP
TO: John R. Dorney, Division of Water Quality SEP 1 5 2004
Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator WATER QUALITY SECTION!
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: September 14, 2004
SUBJECT: DWQ No. 041480, Town of Cramerton, South Fork Catawba River,
Gaston County
The Town of Cramerton is requesting 401 Water Quality Certification from the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information
provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values
of the project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the
Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The water main project will cross the South Fork of the Catawba River. The project will
impact 315 feet of river channel and 200 feet of backwater. Project proponents indic"ate_
that directional boring is not possible due to bedrock conditions. This area of the.rive
provides a warm water fishery.
Based on our review of the project submittal, we will not object to the project providing
the following conditions (non-prioritized) are followed:
1. If possible, the water line should be installed along an existing bridge.
2. The water line should be fully buried in the river in a marier that retains
natural channel conditions and that does not preclude aquatic4ife -passage
or safe boating during low flow conditions.
3. Only native species should be used for stabilization activities. Disturbed
banks should be restored to pre existing conditions. Banks can be
revegetated with silky dogwood, rhododendron, dog hobble, red maple,

Cramerton Water Main, 2 September 14, 2004
South Fork Catawba River
silky willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, or other native woody
species to provide long term bank stability and stream shading. Note that
silky dogwood, silky willow and black willow can be planted as live
stakes collected during the dormant growing season. Cuttings should be
randomly planted on four (4) foot centers from the waters edge to the top
of the bank. Trees should be planted on ten (10) to twelve (12) foot
centers. Stream banks in these areas should also be seeded with an
approved wetland seed mix or temporary crop of wheat or rye.
4. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete
does not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the
stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
5. As applicable, sediment and erosion control measures should adhere to the
design standards for sensitive watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0124).
6. Heavy equipment used in the river must be new or clean low hour
equipment.
7. Spill containment equipment must be immediately available in the event
of a petroleum spill or leak.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you
have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.
