ARCADIS is requesting, on the behalf Union County, a Section 401 Water
Quality Certification for Union my s B he Creek Outfall. Enclosed are seven
copies of the Pre-Constructio otification pplication Form, supporting data,
construction plans, and a c ck or $475. W have submitted a request for Section
404 Nationwide Permit N, . 12 fr t Army Corps of Engineers and received
approval of our Request for Jurisdictional Wetland Verification from them.
The project is a proposed sewer outfall parallel to Blythe Creek from the Ski Trail
Road, near the confluence with Twelve Mile Creek up to and across NC Highway 75.
The outfall would consist of 24" diameter through 8" diameter sewer lines in an
approximately 2.9 mile corridor. The permanent easement width is 30 feet with an
additional 10-foot construction easement on each side of the permanent easement.
The construction corridor has been reduced to 30 feet wide through wetlands by
removing the construction easement. For stream crossings the disturbed area is
limited to 40 feet wide.
Nine wetlands were identified in the project area, of which five will be directly
impacted. All individual wetlands are less than 0.12 acres and are in wooded
locations. Qualified biologists from ARCADIS delineated the jurisdictional wetlands
in the project area utilizing the three-parameter approach as prescribed in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987).
Supplementary technical literature describing the parameters of hydrophytic
vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrological indicators were also utilized. Enclosed are
project locations maps with surveyed wetlands: coordinates for the flag locations:
and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland data sheets. Approximately 0.39 acres of

ARCADIS 13 September 2002
jurisdictional wetlands were delineated in the project area. Proposed stream crossings
were also noted and three unnamed tributaries were flagged (Figures 1 and 2A-2D).
Dominant wetlands vegetation throughout the project area consists of red maple
(Acer rubrum), elderberry (Sambucus Canadensis), and creeping grass
(Microstegium vimineum). Seven of the nine wetlands are small ephemeral pools
situated in relic channels or depresional area influenced by Blythe Creek. Of the two
remaining wetlands, Wetland A is a small floodplain wetlands and wetland K is
located at the toe of a slope.
Nine-stream crossing are proposed for Blythe Creek and three are proposed for
unnamed tributaries to Blythe Creek. The large number of stream crossings are due
to topography and the number of sharp bends in the creek. In general, Blythe Creek
averages approximately 10 to 15 feet from bank to bank with a sand, gravel and
cobble bed and eroded banks in the project area. The small intermittent tributaries
averaged approximately 1 to 2 feet from bank to bank with a silt, sand and clay bed
(Figure 1).
Please contact me with any questions or comments. Thanks for your assistance.
Sincerely,
ARCADIS G&M of North Carolina, Inc.

I r! A 5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): F] uplands F] stream E] wetlands

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The nronosed impacts to wetlands will be temnorarv for the duration of the sewerline con-
struction. The area will be returned to pre-construction elevations after the line is installed.
Construction easements in wetland area have been reduce from 50 feet to 40 feet to minimize
impacts. The project is located within the Blythe Creek floodplain and the area is a mosaic of
small wetland pools and relic stream channel wetland. Attempts to shift the alignment would
likely result in impacts to other scattered wetlands located in the floodplain.
VIII. Mitigation
Page 9 of 12
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/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No mitigation plan is provided such all impacts are temporary.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Page 10 of 12
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.

copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* (squhnpct are feet) Multiplier Required
1 3
2 1.5
Total
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
Page 11 of 12
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
