SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be provided in
accordance with the provisions outlined on the most recent version of the attached Compensatory
Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Forms. The requirements of these forms, including any special
conditions listed on the forms, are hereby incorporated as special conditions of this permit
authorization.
2. Impacts for the sewer line crossings of Wetland WO and Stream SOOI (Sheet BC C-5) and Stream
S10 (Sheet BCLS C-4) will be avoided through the use of trenchless techniques such as jack and
bore or horizontal directional drill, as shown on the permitted plans.
3. Following installation of authorized sewer crossings, areas of temporary stream and wetland
impact must be restored to pre -construction grade and contour. Where, authorized, rip rap placed
in stream channels must be imbedded such that the top of the rip rap is no higher than the original
stream bed grade and contour. In wetland areas, the top 6 to 12 inches of the trench must be
backfilled with topsoil from the trench. Stream banks and wetland temporary impact areas must
be stabilized and revegetated as described on Birch Creek Sewer Improvements -Phase 1 and Birch
Creek Lift Station Abandonment -Phase II Sheet MD5.

Comments
Impacts on PEM wetlands have no permanent conversion
impact for mitigation purposes.
Due to length of wetland and maximum distance between MHs,
unable to avoid olacin¢ MHs in wetlands. (25.1 SF)
PSS wetlands are treated as forested wetlands by the Corps,
therefore a forested permanent maintenance impact is
included.
Impacts on PEM wetlands have no permanent conversion
impact for mitigation purposes.

*Permanent impacts are based on a
10' maintence corridor
There is no other practical alternative for the stream crossings due to wetland impact avoidances and other constraints. The sewer route was adjusted to minimize wetland impacts and avoid parallel Zone 1 buffer impacts. However, because the gravity sewer will connect between an existing manhole and the Lift Station being abandoned, the sewer must be at elevations able to connect at these locations. Furthermore,
the sewer line needs to be constructed at an elevation to accept incoming collector sewers connecting from both sides of the stream which requires that the sewer remain as close as possible to the stream alignment for those connections to be feasible. Stream crossings are therefore constrained by topography and depth (of the sewer). The stream crossings were designed to be perpendicular or near -perpendicular to
the stream and the permanent easements were narrowed through the buffer as much as possible to minimize those impacts. The number of permanent streams crossings where limited to those required for maintenance access.
