Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: John Dorney, Wetland Scientist Wetlands/401 Water Quality Certification Unit vision of Water Q lity FROM: Danielle R. Pender, Piedmont Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE:.: 5 June 2002 SUBJECT: Pre-construction Notification Application for 7217 Mine Shaft Road Streambank Stabilization Project, Wake County, North Carolina. DWQ ID: 020413 Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject document, and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661- 667d), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). The applicant proposes to stabilize 131 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Mine Creek by reinforcing the side slopes and channel bottom with filter fabric and riprap. Plans are to excavate the side slopes and remove sediment in the channel bottom prior to placing the filter fabric and riprap. Mine Creek is a tributary of Crabtree Creek in the Neuse River basin. Several listed species have been found to exist in Crabtree Creek including the federal species of concern and state threatened Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), the federal species of concern and significantly rare pinewoods shiner (Lythrurus matutinus), the state threatened creeper (Strophitus undulatus) and triangle floater (Alasmidonta undulata), and the significantly rare notched rainbow (Villosa constricta). In addition, there are spawning runs of blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis), hickory shad (Alosa mediocris), alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), American shad (Alosa sapidissima), and striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in Crabtree creek. We are not opposed to the project; however, we recommend that the applicant avoid the placing of riprap on the streambed and instead limit riprap placement to the toe of the slope, and to use rock veins to turn energy flow off of the bank. For rock veins, proper placement of rocks and appropriate rock size is essential. In addition, we suggest the use of appropriate native vegetation, in conjunction with fiber matting if needed, to help stabilize the stream bank. These repair and restoration techniques will provide both stream stabilization and habitat enhancement, Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 -- Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 • Fax: (919) 715-7643 Page 2 5 June 2002 Mine Shaft Road Stream Stabilization NCDWQ No. 020413 and be more beneficial to fish and wildlife.

Qz North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: John R. Dorney, Division of Water Quality Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: April 2, 2002 SUBJECT: Review of Shoreline Stabilization Application, Gary Becker, Lot 197, South Pointe, Lake James, DWQ 0_ 204 Burke County The applicant 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 permit application proposes to stabilize 105 linear feet of shoreline on a private lot. An eight-foot pathway and pier (120') are also indicated. Mr. Bob Brown, Assistant Fishery Biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) visited the site on April 1, 2002. According to Mr. Brown, it appears that this site will require some shoreline stabilization on about 20' on the right side and 70' on the left side looking towards the lake. Approximately 110' of sandy beach area is present. This beach should remain untouched as a nursery area for game fish such as walleye and as important habitat for forage fish species. Mr. Brown indicates that stabilization can include the use of riprap to the edge of the full pool level in the two stabilization areas indicated above. Other than the shoreline edge, fill should not occur below the high water elevation on the sandy beach area. Limited sloping of the banks can be permitted; however,` impacts to vegetation and trees in the buffer zone should adhere to Burke Co. shoreline management guidelines. 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.

Dawson, Jr., P. E., City Engineer. Mr. Dawson has asked that I respond to your request for additional information or revisions for the referenced project. The following information is in response to the concerns expressed in your letter. I have listed your concerns in Italics for convenience in reviewing the responses. The DWQ recommends that the side slope be excavated to 3H.•1 V (or greater) instead of the proposed 2H.-IV The DWQ believes that a less steep slope will ensure better stability of the stream bank and improve infiltration of overland flow into the soil prior to discharging to the stream. Please provide additional information as to why the slope can not be excavated to 3H.•I V (or greater). Also, many urban and suburban streams in the piedmont are incised. Providing a flood plain bench ("bankfull bench') to accept overbank flows can reduce velocities and shear stress in the stream, providing additional protection to the stream bank to be repaired. Our office concurs that a 3H:1 V side slope would better ensure stability of the stream bank. For overland flow, however, there is essentially negligible difference in the length of overland flow with the use of a 2H:1V side slope versus a 3H:1V side slope. Exhibits 1 and IA provide schematic comparisons for illustrative purposes. The side yard and backyard of the property are to the left of Point A in Exhibit 1. A Plan View of the house at 7217 Mine Shaft Road showing its proximity to the stream is also provided. OFFICES • 222 WEST HARGETT STREET • POST OFFICE BOX 590 • RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27602 Recycled Paper Mr. John Dorney June 11, 2002 Page 2 The 2H:1 V side slope allows for 4 feet of overland flow in the relatively flat back yard before flowing over a 2H:1 V side slope length of approximately 8.9 feet. Thus, from Point A to the toe of the slope the total linear distance of travel is 12.9 feet before the flow enters the lower part of the channel. With a 3H:1 V side slope from Point A to the toe of the slope the distance of travel is approximately 12.6 feet with 4 feet less of overland flow before discharging into the channel. With a composite side slope of 2H:1 V near the toe of the channel and 3H:1 V near the top bank of the channel, from Point A to the toe of the slope the distance of travel is approximately 12.8 feet with 2 feet less of overland flow before discharging into the channel as compared to a single 2H:1 V side slope. Our office proposes to use a composite side slope of 2H:1 V in the lower 2 feet (vertically) in the channel to be lined with riprap and 3H:1 V in the upper 2 feet (vertically) in the channel. The riprap is essential for the expected velocities ranging from the 1-Year 24-Hour storm event through the 25-Year 24-Hour storm event. A discussion of the hydraulics analysis follows: The bottom width of the channel varies, but is generally between 4 and 8 feet. Only the right bank of the channel is to be stabilized because the owner on the left side of the channel has not requested City assistance to stabilize the left side of the channel which is on his adjacent property. The existing side slopes of the channel are nearly vertical. The velocities and depths for the 1-Year 24-Hour and 25- Year 24-Hour storm events were determined using the United States Army Corps of Engineers' HEC- 1 program and Haestad Methods' Flowmaster program. The results of these analyses are shown below: Storm Discharge, Bottom Flow Depth, Flow Event cfs Width, ft ft Velocity, fps 1-Yr 24-Hr 67 4 1.41 8.50 1-Yr 24-Hr 67 8 0.95 7.79 25-Yr 24-Hr 229 4 2.80 11.29 25-Yr 24-Hr 229 8 1.97 11.35 The velocities for even small storm events exceed the maximum permissible velocities for the soils along the channel. (Per the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act Rules, 15A NCAC 4B .0109(d), the maximum permissible velocities for fine sands, sandy loam soils and silty loam soils range between 2.5 and 3.0 feet per second.) I am enclosing calculations for the discharges and velocities that were determined from the United States Army Corps of Engineers' HEC-1 program and Haestad Methods' Flowmaster program. Based on the velocities and flow depths in the channel, and considering the risk of occurrence of various storm events, our office respectfully requests that the toe of the slope be stabilized for a vertical depth of 2 feet on a 2H:1 V side slope, and then using vegetation and live stakes for the upper 2 feet (vertically) of the channel on a 3H:1 V side slope. There are 3 to 4 trees that the owner and our office would like to prevent removing within Zone A of the buffer area. There is a 5-trunked 24-inch diameter (at the base) Silver Maple tree approximately 7 feet from the top bank; a 12-inch diameter Cedar tree located approximately 26 feet from the top bank; a 12-inch diameter Bradford Pear tree about 11 feet from the top bank; and a Holly tree approximately 12 feet from the top bank. The 12-inch Cedar tree may need to be removed for Mr. John Dorney June 11, 2002 Page 3 equipment access. It is the owner's desire to minimize the loss of usable property in the side yard and backyard. The owner and our office would also like to retain all of these trees, if possible, because of their beneficial aspects as related to water quality. In order to prevent damaging the root systems, our office requests that transitions from 3H:1 V to approximately 2H:1 V be provided in the areas around the trees so as to minimize the potential for damaging the root systems of the trees. Transitions will be necessary for this stabilization project where the 131-foot length ties into the existing channel at the upstream end and at the downstream end near the Silver Maple tree where the channel ties into the twin 48-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe culvert headwall. For storms larger than the 25-Year 24-Hour storm event, some erosion above the riprap may be expected. Because of the smaller frequency of such storm events, however, it is believed that the level of risk is acceptable and will require maintenance following storm events larger than the 25-year storm event. One the vegetation and live stakes become well established, this will help to restrain erosion of the right side slope of the channel for the larger storm events. While a flood plain bench is desirable, such a bench would also require extending the top right bank of the channel closer to the house. Also, because the drainage area is approximately 69.4 acres (per planimetric measurement of the USGS 7.5-minute Bayleaf quadrangle map) with a Soil Conservation Method lag time of 0.33 hour, the flow of water through this 131-foot section would be for a relatively short period of time with respect to the filtration properties of a flood plain bench. (Note: Digitizing of the City of Raleigh topographic GIS map of the watershed, the drainage area is 78.2 acres. A drainage area of 78.2 acres was used in the computer analyses to determine discharges.) Because of the limited usable side yard and backyard areas, the relatively short length of channel to be stabilized, and the hydraulic properties of the proposed stabilized channel section, it is respectfully requested that a composite 2H:1 V lower side slope and 311:1 V upper side slope be allowed to be used in this case without a flood plain (bankfull) bench. 2. The DWQ recommends planting native woody vegetation on the proposed side slope and within fifteen (I5) feet of the stream (or greater) to aid in stabilizing the stream bank and in the removal of nitrogen from overland flow. Your application states that the side slope will be vegetated, but does not indicate the type of vegetation used. We presume that you are referring to grass. Please provide additional information as to why woody vegetation can not be used. Also, please provide a planting plan indicating the type of vegetation to be used, location ofplantings and schedule ofplanting. Our office concurs with the use of native woody plant species on the proposed side slopes. Live stakes will be used along the 131-foot length of stream bank to be stabilized. It is the intent of this project to plant the live stakes, one live stake every 2.5 to 3.0 square feet of stabilized area, during the fall or winter which is generally the best planting time for many species. Preferred species will include River Birch (Betula Nigra), Green Ash (Fraxinus Pennsylvanica), Black Willow (Salix Nigra), Tag Alder (Alnus Serrulata), Silky Dogwood (Cornus Amomum), Buttonbush (Cephalanthus Occidentalis) and Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana). (Other species for the Piedmont Region as outlined in "Recommended Native Plant Species for Stream Restoration in North Carolina" prepared by Ms. Karen Hall with the North Carolina Stream Restoration Institute, North Carolina State University, January 2001 will also be acceptable.) It is intended that a mixture of different live stake species will be used. A mixture, however, may be dependent on availability from nurseries at the time of construction. Mr. John Dorney June 11, 2002 Page 4 The live stakes will be in addition to Tall Fescue (K-31) grass seed to be sowed at a rate of 100 pounds per acre to stabilize the stream bank prior to the live stakes firmly taking root. The Tall Fescue grass seed will be sowed following the completion of grading activities for the project. It is expected the seeding would be performed during the time frame of August 20 through October 25. Should construction activity occur outside of this time frame, then temporary grass vegetative cover would be used until permanent grass vegetation can be established. Temporary grass vegetative cover would consist of Rye Grain (Abruzzi Rye) at 120 pounds per acre from January 1 to May 1 and from October 25 to December 31; and German Millet at a rate of 40 pounds per acre from May 1 to August 20. Figure 4 from the Pre-Construction Notification application form has been revised and is enclosed herewith to reflect the aforementioned information. 3. The DWQ prefers the use of woody vegetation as the primary means of long-term stability, and "soft" techniques such as root wads that encourage the establishment of dense woody vegetation. The DWQ believes that the construction of a bankfull bench along the toe of the proposed stream bank may aid in stabilizing the stream bank and require less (or no) riprap. If riprap is determined to be the best solution for this project, then it shall be installed no higher than the bankfull stage (unless the need for more riprap is convincingly shown). Please provide additional information as to why a bankfull bench can not be constructed along the proposed stream bank or why you think it is not the best option for this project. If riprap is determined to be the best option for this project, then please provide additional information that the proposed riprap will not exceed bankfull stage. The high discharge velocities in the channel and the erosive properties of the soil materials comprising the channel section warrant the use of riprap along the lower 2 feet of the right side slope. Please note that the riprap is to be placed only on the right side slope from the toe of the slope to a vertical height of 2 feet above the toe. Riprap will not be placed on the bottom width of the channel. Live stakes and vegetation will be placed on the flatter 311:1 V side slope above the riprap for the 2- foot vertical height from the top of the riprap to the top right bank of the channel. Steepening the side slope of the channel steeper than 2H:1 V to provide a bankfull bench would cause the riprap lining to become unstable during high velocity discharges. Again, because of the limited usable side yard and backyard area, the relatively short length of channel to be stabilized, and the hydraulic properties of the proposed stabilized channel section, it is respectfully requested that a bankfull bench not be required for this case. (Also, see response to Item 1 above.) Regarding the Wildlife Resources Commission's comments dated June 5, 2002, as described above, the riprap will only be placed along the toe of the slope. Rock veins should not be necessary based on the flow depths, and because only one side of the channel is being stabilized for this project. Such rock veins may direct water to the left side of the channel, which is also severely eroded, causing further erosion. (Again, it should be noted that the owner of the property on the left side of the channel is not participating in this project, and thus, the City of Raleigh does not have permission to access his property to perform repairs on the left side of the channel. The house on the left side of the channel is a rental house owned by a developer. He was approached about having the left side of the channel stabilized by the property owner of 7217 Mine Shaft Road, but the developer was not interested in participating) Also, it should be Mr. John Dorney June 11, 2002 Page 5 noted that this channel is shown on both the USGS 7.5-minute Bayleaf quadrangle map and in the Wake County Soil Survey as an intermittent stream. It is felt that the use of live stakes and vegetation in the upper half of the channel will provide stream stabilization and habitat enhancement to the extent possible based on limitations of the flow depths and velocities that are anticipated in the channel. It is felt that there are no practical alternatives to impacting the protected riparian buffers for this project. It should be noted that this project is not for a development activity, but rather to stabilize an existing problem that is contributing to degradation of water quality in the Mine Creek Watershed of the Neuse River Basin. The activities for this project are intended to provide long-term protection for the 131-foot length of stream bank that has severely eroded and continues to experience active erosion on the right side of the channel. This stabilization project is intended to restrain further erosion, thereby improving water quality in the Mine Creek Watershed that flows into Crabtree Creek and then to the Neuse River. Your consideration of this information for issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse Buffer Basin Riparian Buffer Rules Authorization Certificate is greatly appreciated.

Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director Division of Water Quality May 14, 2002 DWQ Project # 02-0413 Wake County Page 1 of 2 CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED City of Raleigh Central Engineering Department Attn: Mr. Carl R. Dawson, Jr., PE PO Box 590 Raleigh, NC 27602 Subject Property: 7217 Mine Shaft Road, Raleigh, NC Streambank Stabilization Project Unnamed tributary stream of Mine Creek [03-04-02; 27-33-14; C NSW] Dear Mr. Dawson: On March 19, 2002, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated March 14, 2002 to stabilize 131 feet of stream bank at the subject property. The DWQ has determined that the proposed project will require written authorization for impacts to riparian areas protected under the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In order to issue this authorization the DWQ must ensure that your project meets the no practical alternatives test required under these rules. The DWQ is preparing to approve the proposed activity, however insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built as planned in the protected riparian buffers in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0233. Therefore, unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to move toward denial of your authorization certificate as required by 15A NCAC 2B .0233(8) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide us with information supporting your position that states your project must be constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to impacting these protected riparian buffers. Specifically; The DWQ recommends that the side slope be excavated to 3H: IV (or greater) instead of the proposed 2H: IV. The DWQ believes that a less steep slope will ensure better stability of the stream bank and improve infiltration of overland flow into the soil prior to discharging to the stream. Please provide additional information as to why the slope can not be excavated to 31-1: IV (or greater). Also, many urban and suburban streams in the piedmont are incised. Proving a flood plain bench ("bankfull bench") to accept overbank flows can reduce velocities and shear stress in the stream, providing additional protection to the stream bank to be repaired. 2. The DWQ recommends planting native woody vegetation on the proposed side slope and within fifteen (15) feet of the stream (or greater) to aid in stabilizing the stream bank and in the removal of nitrogen from overland flow: Your application states that the side slope will be vegetated, but does not indicate the type of vegetation used. We presume that you are referring to grass. Please provide additional information as to why woody vegetation can not be used. Also please provide a planting plan indicating the type of vegetation to be used, location of plantings and schedule of planting. 3. The DWQ prefers the use of woody vegetation as the primary means of long-term stability, and "soft" techniques such as root wads that encourage the establishment of dense woody vegetation. The DWQ believes that the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 401 Wetlands Certification Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 (Mailing Address) 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 (Location) 919-733-1786 (phone), 919-733-6893 (fax), http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/ t'age z of z construction of a bankfull bench along the toe of the proposed stream bank may aid in stabilizing the stream bank and require less (or no) riprap. If riprap is determined to be the best solution for this project, then it shall be installed no higher than the bankfull stage (unless the need for more riprap is convincingly shown). Please provide additional information as to why a bankfull bench can not be constructed along the proposed stream bank or why you think it is not the best option for this project. If riprap is determined to be the best option for this project, then please provide additional information that the proposed riprap will not exceed bankfull stage. This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected buffers. Please be aware any impacts requested'within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Todd St. John ofAis.office at 9,19-733-9584 if you have any questions regarding this matter.

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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stn-ngide.html.

The City of Raleigh is submitting this stream bank repair request on behalf of Mr. George C. Donahue, resident at 7217 Mine Shaft Road. The City of Raleigh Stormwater Drainage Policy Resolution (1998)-833 is a cost-share program that provides financial and technical assistance in alleviating severe erosion, structural flooding and/or public nuisances on fully-developed private property. This policy is available to citizens within the City of Raleigh's corporate limits. PROJECT SCOPE An unnamed tributary in the Mine Creek watershed running through this location experiences severe erosion and is causing off-site sedimentation. A site inspection was performed by staff of the City of Raleigh Central Engineering Department, Stormwater Services Division. The enclosed digital photographs (Figures 1 through 3) indicate the findings of the site inspection. Th area described below was selected as the primary focus of the proposed stream bank stabilization: DESCRIPTION PROBLEM 131 linear feet of Severe erosion has occurred along the stream stream channel channel, causing sloughing of the channel bank that is shifting towards an existing residential home. The right side slope of the stream bank channel is approximately vertical. OFFICES • 222 WEST HARGETT STREET • POST OFFICE BOX 590 • RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27602 Recycled Paper PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS The City of Raleigh proposes to stabilize the channel by reinforcing the right (facing downstream) side slope of the channel with filter fabric and riprap for a length of approximately 131 feet. Excavation of the side slope to 2H:1 V and removal of sediment in the channel bottom will be required prior to placing the filter fabric and riprap. The vertical depth of the channel section varies between approximately two feet to four feet. While the USGS Bayleaf 7.5-Minute Quadrangle map dated photorevised 1987 and the Wake County Soil Survey issued in November 1970 indicate that the stream is an intermittent stream, several site inspections by staff of the Stormwater Services Division suggest that the stream may be an ephemeral stream, based on observations that the stream did not normally have flow except during wet-weather events. The drainage area of the channel at this property is approximately 69.4 acres. As indicated in Figure No. 1, Figure No. 2 and Figure No. 3, the right bank of the channel is immediately adjacent to a well-grassed yard. The proposed work will be performed from this side of the channel. There is one cedar tree located approximately 20 to 30 feet from the right bank of the channel in the yard that will need to be removed for equipment access. The proposed project will stabilize the right side slope of the channel from further erosion. A vicinity map and more detailed site map are attached. Figure 4 shows a typical repair section. --000-- 2 Figure 1 7217 Mine Shaft Road Severe erosion of right (facing downstream) stream bank. Note: Digital Picture was taken on 03-11-02.
