RE: Pre-Construction Notification and No Practical Alternatives Request for Riparian Buffer Rules
Approval for Sewer Line Crossing, For Beth Eden Subdivision Phase 2, Nash County, NC
Dear Mr. Dorney:

The packets included with this letter include a Pre-Construction Notification for Riparian Buffer Rule
Approval for a proposed sewer line crossing at the Beth Eden - Phase 2 subdivision. Mike Stocks of Stocks
Engineering, P.A. is the project engineer. Three copies of the packet are included. This request is also
intended as a No Practical Alternatives request; therefore, two additional copies are enclosed.
This project involves a perpendicular sewer line crossing of Maple Creek. A maximum 30 feet of temporary
impact to the stream will occur during the placement of the sewer line. Due to the limited impacts associated
with this project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will not require notification based on my conversation
with Amanda Jones on 3 December 2002. The temporary impacts are under the threshold for Nationwide
Permit 12. Therefore, it is our understanding that Section 401 approval is not necessary.
Riparian buffer impacts will accompany the stream crossing and the new easement. The buffer impacts in
Zone 1 (1,850 ft2) and Zone 2 (600 ft2) at the actual pipe crossing will be perpendicular (see attached site plan).
However, approximately 175 linear feet (2090 ft ft 2) of additional buffer impacts in Zone 2 will be parallel to the
sewer easement due to the necessary alignment and the location of the existing stream channel (see attached
site plan). Per my conversation with Steve Mitchell on 3 December 2002, we feel these buffer impacts should
be allowable.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this application please call me or Jeff Harbour at (919) 212-
1760.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Page 9 of 13
Buffer impacts have been minimized as much as possible pursuant to design and construction
constraints.
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/strmgide.htmi.
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.
The impacts to Maple Creek for the proposed sewer line are necessary in order to connect
to an existing sewer line. There will be approximately 1200 feet of new line to service the
new subdivision development. The proposed sewer line is a perpendicular crossing of Maple
Creek. The proposed crossing is at the narrowest portion as possible in order to connect to
the existing sewer line. The crossing is placed in the one area that will allow access to the
existing sewer line with a minimum of stream channel impact and a minimum impact to Tar-
Pamlico River Riparian Buffer areas. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are avoided by the
proposed alignment with the exception to the 0.007 acre of stream channel. Mitigation is not
proposed due to the limited nature of proposed impacts, 30 linear feet of stream channel._
Page 10 of 13
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/wry/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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
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.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
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.

* 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.
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 213 .0242 or.0260.
No buffer mitigation reauired. impacts are from an allowable use, a perpendicular non-electric
utility crossing less than 40 linear feet of riparian buffer with a maintenance corridor greater than
10 feet in width at the stream crossing. Due to the location of Maple Creek and construction
constraints, approximately 180 linear feet of the sewer easement will be parallel and within Zone
2 of the riparian buffer. While this portion of Zone 2 will be within the easement, it will remain
vegetated.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.

Zone 1 (1,850 ft2) and Zone 2 (600 ft2) at the actual pipe crossing will be perpendicular (see attached site plan).
However, approximately 175 linear feet (2090 ft ft 2) of additional buffer impacts in Zone 2 will be parallel to the
sewer easement due to the necessary alignment and the location of the existing stream channel (see attached
site plan). Per my conversation with Steve Mitchell on 3 December 2002, we feel these buffer impacts should
be allowable.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this application please call me or Jeff Harbour at (919) 212-
1760.

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.
Page 9 of 13
Buffer impacts have been minimized as much as possible pursuant to design and construction
constraints.
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/stnngide.html.
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.
The impacts to Maple Creek for the proposed sewer line are necessary in order to connect
to an existing sewer line. There will be approximately 1200 feet of new line to service the
new subdivision development. The proposed sewer line is a perpendicular crossing of Maple
Creek. The proposed crossing is at the narrowest portion as possible in order to connect to
the existing sewer line. The crossing is placed in the one area that will allow access to the
existing sewer line with a minimum of stream channel impact and a minimum impact to Tar-
Pamlico River Riparian Buffer areas. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are avoided by the
proposed alignment with the exception to the 0.007 acre of stream channel. Mitigation is not
proposed due to the limited nature of proposed impacts, 30 linear feet of stream channel.
Page 10 of 13
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

additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
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 213.0242 or.0260.
No buffer miti>ation reauired. impacts are from an allowable use, a pemendicular non-electric
utility crossing less than 40 linear feet of riparian buffer with a maintenance corridor greater than
10 feet in width at the stream crossing. Due to the location of Maple Creek and construction
constraints, approximately 180 linear feet of the sewer easement will be parallel and within Zone
2 of the riparian buffer. While this portion of Zone 2 will be within the easement, it will remain_
vegetated.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.

RE: Pre-Construction Notification and No Practical Alternatives Request for Riparian Buffer Rules
Approval for Sewer Line Crossing, For Beth Eden Subdivision Phase 2, Nash County, NC
Dear Mr. Dorney:
The packets included with this letter include a Pre-Construction Notification for Riparian Buffer Rule
Approval for a proposed sewer line crossing at the Beth Eden - Phase 2 subdivision. Mike Stocks of Stocks
Engineering, P.A. is the project engineer. Three copies of the packet are included. This request is also
intended as a No Practical Alternatives request; therefore, two additional copies are enclosed.
This project involves a perpendicular sewer line crossing of Maple Creek. A maximum 30 feet of temporary
impact to the stream will occur during the placement of the sewer line. Due to the limited impacts associated
with this project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will not require notification based on my conversation
with Amanda Jones on 3 December 2002. The temporary impacts are under the threshold for Nationwide
Permit 12. Therefore, it is our understanding that Section 401 approval is not necessary.
Riparian buffer impacts will accompany the stream crossing and the new easement. The buffer impacts in
Zone 1 (1,850 ft2) and Zone 2 (600 ft2) at the actual pipe crossing will be perpendicular (see attached site plan).
However, approximately 175 linear feet (2090 ft ft 2) of additional buffer impacts in Zone 2 will be parallel to the
sewer easement due to the necessary alignment and the location of the existing stream channel (see attached
site plan). Per my conversation with Steve Mitchell on 3 December 2002, we feel these buffer impacts should
be allowable.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this application please call me or Jeff Harbour at (919) 212-

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.
Page 9 of 13
Buffer impacts have been minimized as much as possible pursuant to design and construction
constraints.
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/strmgide.html.
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.
The impacts to Maple Creek for the proposed sewer line are necessary in order to connect
to an existing sewer line. There will be approximately 1200 feet of new line to service the
new subdivision development. The proposed sewer line is a perpendicular crossing of Maple
Creek. The proposed crossing is at the narrowest portion as possible in order to connect to
the existing sewer line. The crossing is placed in the one area that will allow access to the
existing sewer line with a minimum of stream channel impact and a minimum impact to Tar-
Pamlico River Riparian Buffer areas. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are avoided by the
proposed alignment with the exception to the 0.007 acre of stream channel. Mitigation is not
proposed due to the limited nature of proposed impacts, 30 linear feet of stream channel.
Page 10 of 13
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

RE: Pre-Construction Notification and No Practical Alternatives Request for Riparian Buffer Rules
Approval for Sewer Line Crossing, For Beth Eden Subdivision Phase 2, Nash County, NC
Dear Mr. Dorney:
The packets included with this letter include a Pre-Construction Notification for Riparian Buffer Rule
Approval for a proposed sewer line crossing at the Beth Eden - Phase 2 subdivision. Mike Stocks of Stocks
Engineering, P.A. is the project engineer. Three copies of the packet are included. This request is also
intended as a No Practical Alternatives request; therefore, two additional copies are enclosed.
This project involves a perpendicular sewer line crossing of Maple Creek. A maximum 30 feet of temporary
impact to the stream will occur during the placement of the sewer line. Due to the limited impacts associated
with this project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will not require notification based on my conversation
with Amanda Jones on 3 December 2002. The temporary impacts are under the threshold for Nationwide
Permit 12. Therefore, it is our understanding that Section 401 approval is not necessary.
Riparian buffer impacts will accompany the stream crossing and the new easement. The buffer impacts in
Zone 1 (1,850 ft2) and Zone 2 (600 ft2) at the actual pipe crossing will be perpendicular (see attached site plan).
However, approximately 175 linear feet (2090 ft2) of additional buffer impacts in Zone 2 will be parallel to the
sewer easement due to the necessary alignment and the location of the existing stream channel (see attached
site plan). Per my conversation with Steve Mitchell on 3 December 2002, we feel these buffer impacts should
be allowable.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this application please call me or Jeff Harbour at (919) 212-
1760.
Sincerely,
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES INC.

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/ncwetiands/strmgide.htmi.
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.
The impacts to Maple Creek for the proposed sewer line are necessary in order to connect
to an existing sewer line. There will be approximately 1200 feet of new line to service the
new subdivision development. The proposed sewer line is a perpendicular crossing of Maple
Creek. The proposed crossing is at the narrowest portion as possible in order to connect to
the existing sewer line. The crossing is placed in the one area that will allow access to the
existing sewer line with a minimum of stream channel impact and a minimum impact to Tar-
Pamlico River Riparian Buffer areas. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are avoided by the
proposed alignment with the exception to the 0.007 acre of stream channel. Mitigation is not
proposed due to the limited nature of proposed impacts, 30 linear feet of stream channel.

M" 'ATE RE: Pre-Construction Notification and No Practical Alternatives Request for Riparian Buffer Rules
Approval for Sewer Line Crossing, For Beth Eden Subdivision Phase 2, Nash County, NC
Dear Mr. Dorney:
The packets included with this letter include a Pre-Construction Notification for Riparian Buffer Rule
Approval for a proposed sewer line crossing at the Beth Eden - Phase 2 subdivision. Mike Stocks of Stocks
Engineering, P.A. is the project engineer. Three copies of the packet are included. This request is also
intended as a No Practical Alternatives request; therefore, two additional copies are enclosed.
This project involves a perpendicular sewer line crossing of Maple Creek. A maximum 30 feet of temporary
impact to the stream will occur during the placement of the sewer line. Due to the limited impacts associated
with this project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will not require notification based on my conversation
with Amanda Jones on 3 December 2002. The temporary impacts are under the threshold for Nationwide
Permit 12. Therefore, it is our understanding that Section 401 approval is not necessary.
Riparian buffer impacts will accompany the stream crossing and the new easement. The buffer impacts in
Zone 1 (1,850 ft2) and Zone 2 (600 ft2) at the actual pipe crossing will be perpendicular (see attached site plan).
However, approximately 175 linear feet (2090 ft ft 2) of additional buffer impacts in Zone 2 will be parallel to the
sewer easement due to the necessary alignment and the location of the existing stream channel (see attached
site plan). Per my conversation with Steve Mitchell on 3 December 2002, we feel these buffer impacts should
be allowable.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this application please call me or Jeff Harbour at (919) 212-
1760.
Sincerely,
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES INC.

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/stnngide.htmi.
