4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The new facility is greatly needed for multiple reasons such as a grown population in the area since the school was first constructed, facilities are dated and do not provide the learning
program space and learning environments of today's standards, insufficient parking and queuing for loading/unloading and insufficient outdoor program areas.
The newfacility will be constructed on the west side of the site allowing the existing middle school to remain operational and open during construction. This is advantageous to WCPSS
because there is not Flex space for middle school students in this area of the county for the students to move off -site during construction and secondly, this saves WCPSS money
because they do not have to move the students off campus.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
The existing school is to remain open and operational during construction of the new building. The existing middle school and vehicular operations will remain the same while the new
middle school building, parking, etc. is constructed on the western (ebsting park) portion of the site. Once new construction is complete, the ebsting middle school building, parking etc.
will be demolished and the new fields and bus regional parking lot will be constructed. Temporary construction fence will be installed between the ebsting and new middle school to
separate pedestrian activity from construction activity. Flipping the site allows construction phasing to divide the site and eliminate conflicts with students, staff, parents and construction
activities.
The parent drive entrance will be located at the ebsting park entrance at the northwest corner of the site. Approbmately 3,900-If of stacking length is provided along the car loop, which
is required by the NCDOT MSTA division for this size middle school. This length is required to accommodate queued cars on -site which eliminates vehicle stacking on Strickland Road.
NCDOT MSTA required two separate drives, one for ingress and one for egress.
All buses will enter the site from Strickland Road at the ebsting east drive entrance. Buses will stay to the right and proceed to the rear of the proposed building to the bus
loading/unloading zone. After loading/unloading activities occur, buses will proceed back toward Strickland Road where they can choose to exit the site or turn right and proceed to the
regional bus parking lot.
The regional bus parking lot provides 60 bus parking spaces, a transportation building and 70 staff parking spaces for bus drivers and maintenance staff. The bus will proceed in a one-
way direction through the bus lot and use a reverse motion into the parking stall. This allows all the buses to front face the drive aisle and allows for easy access for service. This design
is requested by WCPSS Transportation Director. The new transportation building provides a transportation suite (offices and restroom) and the maintenance cluster (storage area and
a workroom). The building has 2,257 SF total.
The service area is located at the middle rear of the building and is accessed from the bus loop. This area accommodates dumpsters, mechanical equipment, and a loading dock. The
service drive doubles as a fire lane to meet building code requirements.
The site design provides +/-300 spaces City of Raleigh code required spaces. Staff will use the same site entrance drive as the bus mentioned above which is the existing drive
entrance at the northeast corner of the site along Strickland Road. Staff will share the same drive with the busses and turn south into a dedicated staff parking lot prior to the bus
loading/unloading area.
An area for a future mobile unit that contains 6 classrooms is provided to the east of the classroom wing.
Fire and emergency apparatus access is provided through both the car and bus loops.
This concept provides direct pedestrian access, south of the staff parking lot, between the building and the fields without having to cross vehicular drives. It locates the football field and
track close to the middle school. The baseball field will also serve as a softball field.
Retaining walls are shown to eliminate and reduce stream impacts.
Several stormwrater control measures are proposed and will be required to control on -site runoff. Stormwater entering the school site from the east property (off -site) will need to bypass
the school's stormwater control measures.
An existing water main is located along Strickland Road. The domestic water and fire protection for the new school will be served by this water line. A flow test has been performed on
this water line and will be used properly design the on -site and building water system.
An existing public sanitary sewer line runs through the property. This existing sanitary sewer line will need to be re-routed through the site to accommodate the newsite design.
Tree Conservations Areas (TCA) are provided along Strickland Road, the west boundary line and a portion of the south boundary line. These areas are a requirement of the UDO.
Construction will be performed by standard commercial construction equipment. No specialized equipment not regularly seen on commercial projects is anticipated.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

3j. Comments:
Impact Area #1 depicted on sheets C-3 on the attached Impact Maps will consist of the extension of an existing culvert to allowfor the construction of a
baseball facility. The culvert will impact 30 linear feet of intermittent stream channel, including the start point of the intermittent stream channel. Rip rap
will be added downstream of the culvert to stabilize the culvert outfall and will impact an additional 40 linear feet of stream channel. The rip rap will be
buried at grade and will not result in a permanent loss of waters.
Impact area #2 depicted on sheet C-4 on the attached Impact Maps will consist of the addition of a new 189-foot long 48" RCP to replace two existing
culverts (one 30" RCP totaling 48 linear feet in length and one 36" RCP totaling 16 linear feet in length). Rip rap will be added downstream of the
culvert to stabilize the culvert outfall and will impact an additional 32 linear feet of stream channel. The rip rap will be buried at grade and will not result
in a permanent loss of waters. An additional 0.01 acres of wetland will be filled due to grading and installation of rip rap to serve as outlet protection.
Ten feet of temporary stream impacts will be needed for dewatering/ coffer dam. Areas of temporary impact will be restored to similar pre -construction
conditions.
Impact area #3 depicted on Sheet C-5 on the attached Impact Maps will consist of the replacement of a 60-foot 42" RCP with a 50-foot 48" RCP. Rip
rap will be added downstream of the culvert to stabilize the culvert outfall and will impact an additional 5 linear feet of stream channel. The rip rap will
be buried at grade and will not result in a permanent loss of waters. Fifteen feet of temporary stream impacts will be needed for dewatering/ coffer
dam. Areas of temporary impact will be restored to similar pre -construction conditions.
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:
Multiple meetings and conversations have been had with the USACE in determining the actual stream location, determining types of permittable
impacts and associated costs. The plan utilizes existing crossings, retaining wells, and strategic citing of site elements minimizing stream impacts to the
extents possible.
Other regulatory requirements required that proposed design challenges are NCDOT MSTA ingress/egress and queuing requirements (+/-3,900 LF),
City of Raleigh Tree Conservation Area requirements (10%of site), City of Raleigh parking spaces required (+/-300), City of Raleigh storm water
control requirements (none existing on current site), City of Raleigh erosion requirement to control the 10-year storm during all phases of construction,
NCDEQ erosion control requirements (phased construction), and Fire and Emergency services access requirements.
111b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Specific attention will be paid to ensure grading is only performed to the extent needed for the proposed project and all grading not required will be
avoided. Additional impacts to the jurisdictional craters will be avoided through the use of appropriate sediment and erosion control devices within the
vicinity of the waters.
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?
