RE: Nationwide Permit 14 Application — City of Greenville Public Works Department
South Tar River Greenway Phase 111 Extension Project, Pitt County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Steffens and Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of the City of Greenville, Kimley-Horn is submitting the attached application for
authorization under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 for the above referenced project.
The City of Greenville proposes to construct a 10-foot wide, 1.4-mile long paved multi -use
greenway/bikeway path with 2-foot gravel shoulders from the western terminus of the existing South
Tar River Greenway at Pitt Street (SR 1611) to Moye Boulevard near West 5t" Street in Greenville,
North Carolina. There are eleven jurisdictional wetlands (referenced on Figure 3 as WA, WB, WC,
WD, WE, WF, WG, WH, WI, WJ, and WK) and five jurisdictional streams delineated within the project
area, one which is intermittent (SB) and four of which are perennial (SA, SC, SD, and SE).
A preliminary jurisdictional determination was issued for the project by William Wescott of the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on January 10, 2013 and a buffer determination was issued for
the project by Roberto Scheller of the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) on January 29,
2013. Documentation of these determinations has been included for your reference.
Impacts to jurisdictional features have been minimized to the greatest extent practical, and
boardwalks and pre -constructed pedestrian bridges will be used to avoid stream impacts. Minor buffer
and wetland impacts will result from the proposed project, but overall the project will improve
protection and public appreciation for these environmentally sensitive areas.
