Request for 401 Water Quality Certification iJ 0 V 3 2009
Burnt Poplar Road
Greensboro, Gulford County, North Carolina
ECS Project 09-16893A WEnMD AIDS OORRMWATE BRANCH
Dear Ms. Karoly:
Please find one copy of the Pre-Construction Notification Application for the above referenced site. As
you will recall (see attached e-mail correspondence), we submitted a permit application for an
approximate 5.25 acre tract site located on Burnt Poplar Road in Greensboro (Figure 1). The tract
contains undeveloped, wooded land. The only access to the site is a narrow strip of land that connects to
Burnt Poplar Road. In order to access the site, a road must be constructed in the narrow strip of land that
abuts Burnt Poplar Road. An unnamed tributary to the East Fork Deep River is located within the narrow
strip that will be impacted by the road crossing.
On behalf of North Carolina Renewables, LLC, I am requesting that a 401 Water Quality Certification
be issued to authorize the impact to 60.12 linear feet of stream channel. There are no other stream or
wetland impacts associated with this project.
This copy of the permit application includes a construction sequence to address dewatering that was not
included in the original permit application. The drawing contains information pertaining to dewatering
and is intended to address your concerns with the initial application. We are providing Ms. Sue
Homewood with copies of the exhibits so that she can reopen the file and continue processing the
application. Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this
request or if additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely consideration of
this matter.
Sincerely,
E Carolinas, LLP

Laurie,
This is a fairly recent return package for not answering a hold letter. I can review it
without the entire package but just the response to my hold letter. Will you accept it
that way? Its a shame to reprint the same documents and kill more trees. (sorry, tree
hugger here)

Good Afternoon Sue,
As you will recall, we are required to resubmit this application. The application/impacts
are the same. The client failed to present construction sequence drawings showing how
1
water will be pumped around the construction site of the proposed road crossing. Do you
need for me to reprint new copies of the application or can I simply generate a
transmittal letter, a new check and submit with the construction sequence drawings?

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The site is land-locked and is bounded on the west, north and east by tank farms and Interstate 40. The only access to
the site is an easement from West Market Street (located south of the site). In order to access the site, a road must be
constructed between West Marketr Street and the developable portion of the site. It is necessary to cross an unnamed
tributary to the East Fork Deep River with the access road.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The road will impact 60.12 linear feet of stream. In order to minimize impacts to the stream, the stream has been left
open between West Market Street and the proposed culvert. The road crossing has been designed to accommodate
traffic from both directions. The slopes that will remain on each end of the culvert have been designed as steep as
possible to avoid additional impacts to the stream. The crossing is located in an area where there is minimal vegetation
and the stream is insized.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or ? Yes ® No
habitat?
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act ? Yes ® No
impacts?
? Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
? Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
ECS consulted the Natural Heritage Program Website to determine if Federally Protected Endangered or Threatened
species inhabit the site quadrangle. The site is located on the Greensboro, NC Quadrangle. There are no Federally
listed Endangered or Threatened species identified on the Greensboro, NC Quadrangle. Based on our knowledge, the
project will not impact endangered species or designated critical habitat.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ? Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
The stream that will be impacted is insized. The vegetation in the vicinity of the road crossing is cut regularly by the
NCDOT due to its proximity to the right -of-way. The stream habitat is fragmented due to downgradient culverts. We did
not observe fish in the stream. To our knowledge, there are no fish species that inhabit or migrate through the stream. The
NCDENR has classified the watershed that includes the site as WS-IV. The endangered species list does not identify
protected fish species that inhabit waterbodies nearby the site. Based on our knowledge of the site, the project does not
occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat.

7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation ? Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
There are no structures located on the site that could be considered for historical preservation status. ECS personnel
have visited and walked the site in conjunction with an environmental assessmemnt and a wetland delineation. We have
not observed artifacts on the site. To the best of our knowledge, the site and adjoining properties are not designated as
having historic or cultural preservation status.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? ? Yes ® No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? A review of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map
