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): X uplands . ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Dam/embankment
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): Stormwater requirement
Size of watershed draining to pond: 23 acres Expected pond surface area: 0.33 acres
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 road must cross the stream to access the eastern portion of the site In addition the
City of Greensboro requires that the developer "provide stub street connections to eastern
and southern property lines". Stream impacts have been minimized with the use of 2.1 side
slopes and headwalls.
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.
Page 5 of 8
1r
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/strmp-ide.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.
Due to the minimal impact, mitigation should not be required Therefore, none is
proposed.
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.ne.us/wM/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):

Per our phone conversation on Monday, November 18, 2002, we are responding to your
comments regarding the 401 creek crossing permit for the above referenced project In an effort
to maintain sheet flow through the riparian buffer areas along the creek and to reduce the total
built -upon area for the site to less than 29 5%, we offer the following
1 The discharge point of storm sewer pipe no. 29 has been moved 30' further away
from the 50' Zone 2 buffer line
2 The discharge point of storm sewer pipe no 30A no longer exits into the riparian
buffer zone, but rather is discharges into the on-site storm sewer system that
ultimately routes through the permanent wet detention pond.
3 The discharge barrel of the permanent wet detention pond exits into a rip rap
dissipater and level spreader, all of which are constructed outside of the 50' Zone
2 riparian buffer The North Carolina Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Manual does not offer a good solution for maintaining sheet flow for the
designed barrel outlet Therefore, I designed the outlet in accordance the Manual
for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia (Note The City of Greensboro
issued an approval to the Watershed Development Plan with only a rip rap pad
being constructed outside of the 50' Zone 2 buffer area)
4 The built -upon area shown on the plan is 29 43%
Please be aware that the City of Greensboro in trying to maintain sheet flow through the riparian
buffer zones, has required that my riprap pads be designed outside of the 50' zone 2 buffer area.
The Watershed Development Plan for this project has already been approved by the City of
Greensboro and we are presently working on obtaining an approved Erosion Control Plan and
Grading Permit for the site

In an effort to maintain my client's time schedule for construction, I would appreciate a response
from your office at your earliest convenience We thank you in advance for working with us on
these matters If you have any questions, or need additional information, please do not hesitate to
call.
Very Truly Yours,
Gene Mustin, P E

ECS Project G -6442A
October 21, 2002
Dear Mr. Dorney:
j^ Please find seven copies of the Pre -Construction Notification Application for the above referenced
project. The site is approximately 24.88 acres in area and is located on Guilford College Road in
Greensboro (Figure 1). The site is being evaluated for residential development.
A tributary to Bull Run is located on the eastern portion of the site. As shown on the attached exhibits
prepared by Borum, Wade and Associates, P.A. (Overall Subdivision Plan, Stream Impact Plan, Stream
Profile.), approximately 145 linear feet of stream channel will be impacted by the construction of a road
across the site. The road must cross the stream in order to access the eastem portion of the site. In
addition, the City of Greensboro is requiring the developer to "provide stub street connections to eastern
and southern property Imes". Concrete headwalls and 2:1 slopes will be used to minimize the impact to
the stream channel. In addition, the pipe will be placed approximately four inches below the bottom of
the stream channel to facilitate movement of aquatic organisms. A buffer will be maintained along, the
stream. The buffer will be 50 feet wide along the intermittent portion of the stream and 100 feet wide
along the perennial portion of the stream. The intermittent/perennial point in the stream was determined
by Mr. Ron Small with the City of Greensboro Stormwater Management Division.
When developed, the site will have 29% impervious surfaces. Therefore, a stormwater management plan
acceptable to the City of Greensboro will be implemented as shown on the Overall Subdivision Plan and
Stream Impact Plan. A stormwater management pond will be constructed in the upland area of the site.
A level spreader will be installed at the outlet of the pond outside the 50 foot stream buffer. There will
be no temporary sediment and erosion control measures placed within the Zone 1 stream buffer.
The proposed development is in compliance with the City of Greensboro's Development Ordinances as it
pertains to the Randleman Watershed Protection Rules. The culvert design and energy dissipater meet
the approval of the City of Greensboro's Sediment Erosion Control Program. The development plan and
culvert design must be approved by the City of Greensboro.
A sanitary sewer outfall will be installed at the site. The outfall will be installed on the uplands in the
Zone 2 stream buffer. Moving the outfall outside of the Zone 2 buffer would result in its being placed at
an excessive depth. This would cause difficulty in maintaining and repairing the outfall.
On behalf of Centex Homes, I am requesting that a 401 Water Quality Certification be issued to
authorize this minor impact.
