3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
General land use is Agriculture. Ross Dairy Farm. Project location portion of the small
headwater stream has dairy production facilities including, milking parlor, feed storage and
waste handling facilities on one side of stream and hay land grass buffer on the other.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
None
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
1,400 Linear Feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to install best management practices on the Ross Dairy Farm that will help
improve water quality conditions at the site and below the dairy. In the past, several Notices of Violations
(NOVs) have been issued by The Division of Water Resources (DWR) for stream standard and discharge
violations. A benthic study was also conducted on June 1, 2017 that documented stream conditions.
The Ross Dairy Farm is in the process of revising their NC Waste Management Permit. Modifications have
been submitted as a part of the new plan. The new modifications include: redesigning their water
management plan in and around their farmstead, animal feeding and milking facilities. As much as possible
they wish to keep the freshwater runoff from the facility separate from the contaminated water and waste
from the operation. With the close proximity of the structures to the stream there is no buffer available for
the fresh water to filter through before entering the stream. By installing a 148 culvert in the stream and
constructing a grassed waterway over it and beyond, the facilities freshwater runoff can be filtered before
entering the stream and will improve water quality conditions at the site.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Install 148 linear feet of 36-inch culvert in the stream project site. Culvert inverts will be
imbedded 20% into stream bed. Grassed waterway will be designed and shaped over the pipe
to receive freshwater runoff from dairy facility and opposite hay field. Culvert will be installed
with standard hydraulic excavator, bulldozer, pan and seeding equipment.

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 project design was limited to 148 feet to limit the amount of impacts to jurisdictional waters. All
options and alternatives were considered to avoiding the impacts. The locations of the existing
structures, the proximity of the stream, and the need for improved BMPs (filter strip) directed the
placement of the impact to improve water quality conditions.
b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Work will be performed in the dry (See ... Attached pump around detail) to meet condition #9 of WQC 4193.
Work will be conducted from top of bank so that the flowing stream does not come into contact with the
disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the most current version of the NC Sediment and
Erosion Control Manual will be used to stabilize the site. Stabilization plan attached. Placement of culvert
will be installed 20% of the culvert diameter and allow low Flow passage of water and aquatic life.

Impervious Barrier
VEGETATION ESTABLISHMENT
Grassed Waterway near Ditch below Milk Parlor
Runoff from 8.3 acre draw uphill of trench silos, silo area, cattle heavy use areas, parking
area, roads and roofs is piped overtop the 36" culvert planned in ditch at parlor to the
grass waterway. The drainage area of grass waterway is primarily from this culvert.
Grass waterway will provide additional filtering of runoff from the drainage area before
reaching stream flow. Fescue grass is planned due its ability to be established and
maintained in grass buffers.
The grass waterway bottom will be matted with a mulch blanket material to near the
culvert outlet. It will not be installed any closer than 25 feet to open water. Grass
waterway bottom is approximately 25' from stream where it parallels stream near outlet.
In this area, using coir netting within 25 ft of the stream riparian mix seeding, if needed.
Construction Specification 45—Plastic Pipe and Plumbing
1. Scope
The work consists of furnishing and installing plastic pipe (except corrugated polyethylene
tubing) and the necessary fittings and appurtenances for plumbing as shown on the drawings or
as specified herein.
2. Material
Pipe, fittings, and gaskets shall conform to the requirements of Material Specification 547,
Plastic Pipe, and as specified in section 14 of this specification or as shown on the drawings.
Other materials shall meet the requirements as specified in section 14.
3. Handling and storage
Pipe shall be delivered to the job site and handled by means that provide adequate support to the
pipe and do not subject it to undue stresses or damage. When handling and placing plastic pipe,
care shall be taken to prevent impact blows, abrasion damage, and gouging or cutting (by metal
edges and/or surface or rocks). The manufacturer's special handling requirements shall be strictly
observed. Special care shall be taken to avoid impact when the pipe must be handled at a
temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or less.
Pipe shall be stored on a relatively flat surface so that the barrels are evenly supported. Unless
the pipe is specifically manufactured to withstand exposure to ultraviolet radiation, it shall be
covered with an opaque material when stored outdoors for 15 days or longer.
4. Excavation
The pipe foundation shall be excavated a minimum of 4 inches lower than the pipe grade shown
on the drawings or staked in the field whenever bedrock, boulders, cobbles, or other material that
may cause pipe damage is encountered at planned pipe grade.
5. Laying the pipe
Plastic pipe conduits complete with fittings and other related appurtenances shall be installed to
the lines and grades shown on the drawings or specified in section 14 of this specification. The
pipe shall be installed so that there is no reversal of grade between joints unless otherwise shown
on the drawings. The pipe shall not be dropped or dumped on the bedding or into the pipe trench.
The ground surface near the pipe trench shall be free of loose rocks and stones greater than 1
inch in diameter. This ensures that rock will not be displaced and impact the pipe.
Just before placement, each pipe section shall be inspected to ensure that all foreign material is
removed from inside the pipe. The pipe ends and the couplings shall be free of foreign material
when assembled. At the completion of a work shift, all open ends of the pipeline shall be
temporarily closed off using a suitable cover or plug.
Care shall be taken to prevent distortion and damage during hot or cold weather. During
unusually hot weather (daytime high temperature of more than 90 °F), the pipe assembled in the
trench shalt be lightly backfilled or shaded to keep it as near to ground temperature as possible
(2I0-VI-WEK May 2001)

until final backfill is placed. Backfill operations should be performed during daily construction
periods when the ground temperature and the temperature of the pipe do not vary more than 40
degrees Fahrenheit.
Perforated pipe shall be installed with the perforations down and oriented symmetrically about
the vertical centerline. Perforations shall be clear of any obstructions on the inside and outside of
the pipe when the pipe is approved by the engineer for backfill.
During installation, the pipe shall be firmly and uniformly bedded throughout its entire length, to
the depth and in the manner specified in section 14 of this specification or as shown on the
drawings. Bell -holes shall be placed in bedding material under bells, couplings, and other fittings
to assure the pipe is uniformly supported throughout its entire length. Blocking or mounding
beneath the pipe to bring the pipe to final grade is not permitted.
6. Pipe embedment
Earth bedding --The pipe shall be firmly and uniformly placed on compacted earthfill bedding
or an inplace earth material bedding of ample bearing strength to support the pipe without
noticeable settlement. The earth material on which the pipe is placed shall be of uniform density
to prevent differential settlement.
Unless otherwise specified, a groove that closely conforms to the outside surface of the pipe shall
be formed in the bedding. The depth of the groove shall be equal to or greater than 0.3 of the pipe
diameter.
Earth bedding shall be compacted to a density not less than adjacent undisturbed inplace earth
material or be compacted earth backfill. Earthfill material used for compacted earth bedding shall
be free of rocks or stones greater than 1 inch in diameter and earth clods greater than 2 inches in
diameter. The pipe shall be loaded sufficiently during the compaction of bedding under the
haunches and around the sides of the pipe to prevent displacement from its final approved
placement.
Sand, gravel, or crushed rock bedding —When sand, gravel, or crushed rock bedding is
specified, the pipe shall be firmly and uniformly placed on the bedding material. Material for
bedding shall not exceed 1 inch in diameter. Unless otherwise specified in section 14 of this
specification or shown on the drawings, the coarse -grained bedding material shall be carefully
placed and compacted to a depth equal to or greater than 0.3 of the diameter of the pipe above the
bottom of the pipe. The pipe shall be loaded sufficiently during backfilling and compaction
around the sides to prevent displacement of the pipe from its final approved placement.
Pipe encased in drainfill—The pipe shall be firmly and uniformly placed on bedding of
specified drainfill. Drainfill shall be placed and compacted as specified in section 14 of this
specification or as shown on the drawings to forth a continuous uniform support around the
entire circumference of the pipe. The pipe shall be loaded sufficiently during backfilling around
the sides and during compaction to prevent displacement of the pipe.
7. Backfill
Initial backfill—Unless otherwise specified, initial backfill to 6 inches above the top of the
conduit is required. Earth haunching and initial backfill material shall consist of soil material that
is free of rocks, stones, or hard clods more than 1 inch in diameter. Coarse backfill material shall
(2I0-V1-NEH, Miay 2001) 2

be the specified sand, gravel, crushed rock, or drainfill material.
Initial backfill shall be placed in two stages. In the first stage (haunching), backfill is placed to
the pipe spring line (center of pipe). In the second stage, it is placed to 6 inches above the top of
the pipe.
The first stage material shall be worked carefully under the haunches of the pipe to provide
continuous support throughout the entire pipe length. The haunching backfill material shall be
placed in layers that have a maximum thickness of about 6 inches and are compacted as specified
in section 14 of this specification or as shown on the drawings. During compaction operations,
care shall be taken to ensure that the tamping or vibratory equipment does not come in contact
with the pipe and the pipe is not deformed or displaced.
When pressure testing is not specified, the pipe shall be covered with a minimum of 6 inches of
backfill material as soon as possible following assembling of the pipe in the trench, but not later
than within the same day that placement has occurred. When pressure testing is specified,
sufficient backfill material shall be placed over the pipe to anchor the conduit against movement
during pressure testing activities.
Final backfill—Final backfill shall consist of placing the remaining material required to
complete the backfill from the top of the initial backfill to the ground surface, including
mounding at the top of the trench. Final backfill material within 2 feet of the top of the pipe shall
be free of debris or rocks larger than 3 inches nominal diameter. Coarse backfill material shall be
the specified sand, gravel, crushed rock, or drainfiIl. Final backfill shall be placed in
approximately uniform, compacted layers. Final backfill compaction requirements shall be as
specified in section 14 of this specification or as shown on the drawings.
Vehicles or construction equipment shall not be allowed to cross the pipe until the minimum
earth cover and required density as specified in section 14 of this specification has been obtained.
8. Pipe encasement in concrete
Concrete encasement shall be carefully placed to form a continuous unifonn support around the
entire circumference of the pipe as specified in section 14 of this specification or as shown on the
drawings. Pipes encased in concrete shall be securely anchored to prevent movement of the pipe
during concrete placement. A clear distance of 1.5 inch shall be maintained between the pipe and
the reinforcing steel.
The concrete for the encasement shall conform to the requirements of Construction Specification
32, Structure Concrete, for Class 3000M concrete unless otherwise specified.
9. Joints
Unless otherwise specified in section 14 of this specification or shown on the drawings, joints
shall be either bell and spigot type with elastomeric gaskets, coupling type, solvent cement bell
and spigot, or jointed by butt heat fusion. When a lubricant is required to facilitate joint
assembly, it shall be a type having no deleterious affect on the gasket or pipe material.
Pipe joints shall be watertight at the pressures specified except where unsealed joints are
indicated.
(210-VI-NEH, May 2001) 3

Pipe shall be installed and joined in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Laying deflections and joint fitting or stab depths shall be within the manufacturer's
recommended tolerances.
When solvent cement joints are specified for PVC or ABS pipe and fittings, they shall be made
in accordance with the following ASTMS and the related appendix of each ASTM; D 2855 for
PVC pipe and fittings and D 2235 for ABS pipe and fittings.
Flanged, banded, heat -fusion, or elastomeric-scaled mechanical joints shall be used when joining
polyethylene (PE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and fittings unless otherwise
specified in section 14 of this specification or as shown on the drawings.
Pipe ends shall be cut square and be deburred to provide a uniform, smooth surface for the
jointing process. Reference marks shall be placed on the spigot ends to assist in determining
when proper seating depth has been achieved within the joint.
10. Fittings
Unless otherwise specified, steel fittings, valves, and bolted connections shall be painted or
coated as recommended by the manufacturer.
Fittings for nonpressure pipe shall be of the same or similar material as the pipe and shall provide
the same durability, watertightness, and strength as the pipe unless otherwise specified.
11. Thrust blocks and anchors
When specified, concrete thrust blocks and anchors shall be installed as shown on the drawings
or specified in section 14 of this specification.
The concrete for the thrust blocks and anchors shall conform to the requirements of Construction
Specification 32, Structure Concrete, for Class 3000M concrete unless otherwise specified in
section 14 of this specification.
The thrust block cavity shall be hand dug into undisturbed soil or previously placed compacted
backfill. The cavity shall be formed with soil or wood to hold the freshly placed concrete without
displacement until an initial set has occurred.
When excavation beyond the designated trench widths and depths as shown on the drawings or
specified in section 14 of this specification occurs at locations where installation of concrete
thrust blocks is required, the contractor shall install an alternative thrust block provision. The
concrete thrust block shall have a thickness of one pipe diameter and a contact face area that
shall be formed against the pipe as shown on the drawings or specified in section 14 of this
specification. Backfill shall be placed on all sides of the thrust block and to the sides of the
excavation. It shall be compacted as specified for initial backfill.
12. Pressure testing
Method 1—Pressure testing of the completed conduit is not required.
Method 2—The conduit shall be tested for leaks in the following manner:
a. Before pressure testing:
(1) Joint& of the assP bled pipeline shall be allowed to cuox- as neconmended by the manufach=
(210-VI-NEH, May 2001) 4

(2) Pipeline shall be flushed and cleaned.
(3) All concrete anchors and thrust blocks shall be in place and allowed to cure for a
minimum of 3 days.
(4) Earth backflll shall be sufficient to anchor the conduit against movement during the
pressure testing and shall be compacted as specified in Section 14 of this specification
or as shown on the drawings.
(5) The conduit shall be braced, anchored, or both, at each end to restrict all potential pipe
movement.
(6) The ends of the conduit shall be plugged. The upstream plug shall have a standpipe
installed vertically having a minimum diameter of 2 inches and shall be equipped with
a shutoff valve. All high points in the line shall be vented to evacuate air pockets. The
conduit and the standpipe shall be slowly filled with water such that no air is
entrapped during the filling operation. After filling is complete, all vents shall be
closed.
b. During pressure testing, the water level in the standpipe shall be continuously maintained
at a minimum of 10 feet above the highest invert elevation of the conduit for no less than 2
hours unless otherwise specified in section 14 of this specification or as shown on the
drawings.
The volume of water leakage in the 2-hour test period shall be recorded. The maximum
allowable leakage (L) in gallons per hour shall not exceed 0.02 times the nominal pipe
diameter (D) in inches for each 1,000 feet of pipe line, which is about 50 pipe joints (L =
0.02 x D).
c. When observed leakage exceeds the allowable, leaks shall be sealed by replacement of
pipe and fittings as necessary. The conduit shall be retested as described above. This
procedure shall be repeated until the conduit leakage does not exceed the allowable
specified above.
The contractor shall be fully responsible for any and all work required to correct leakage
exceeding the amount specified.
Method 3—The conduit shall be tested for leaks in the following manner:
a. Before pressure testing:
(1) Joints of the assembled pipeline shall be allowed to cure as recommended by the
manufacturer.
(2) Pipeline shall be flushed and cleaned.
(3) All concrete anchor and thrust blocks shall be in place and allowed to cure for at least

13. Measurement and payment
Method 1-For items of work for which specific unit prices are established in the contract, the
quantity of each kind, size, and class of pipe is determined to the nearest foot by measurement of
the laid length along the crown centerline of the conduit. Payment for each kind, size, and class
of pipe is made at the contract unit price for that kind, size, and class. Such payment constitutes
full compensation for furnishing, transporting, and installing the pipe including excavation,
shoring, backfill, bedding, thrust blocks, and all fittings, appurtenances, and other items
(210-VI-NEH, May 2001) 6

necessary and incidental to the completion of the work. Payment for appurtenances listed
separately in the bid schedule is made at the contract prices for those items.
Method 2—For items of work for which specific unit prices are established in the contract, the
quantity of each kind, size, and class of pipe is determined as the sum of the nominal laying
lengths of the sections used. Payment for each kind, size, and class of pipe is made at the contract
unit price for the kind, size, and class. Such payment constitutes full compensation for
furnishing, transporting, and installing the pipe including excavation, shoring, backfill, bedding,
thrust blocks, and all fittings, appurtenances, and other items necessary and incidental to the
completion of the work. Payment for appurtenances listed separately in the bid schedule is made
at the contract prices for those items.
Method 3—For items of work for which specific unit prices are established in the contract, the
quantity of each kind, size, and class of pipe is determined to the nearest foot by measurement of
the laid length along the crown centerline of the conduit. Payment for each kind, size, and class
of pipe is made at the contract unit price for the kind, size, and class. Such payment constitutes
full compensation for furnishing, transporting, and installing the pipe including shoring, all
fittings, thrust blocks, appurtenances, and other items necessary and incidental to the completion
of the work_ Payment for appurtenances listed separately in the bid schedule is made at the
contract prices for those items.
Method 4—For items of work for which specific unit prices are established in the contract, the
quantity of each kind, size, and class of pipe is determined as the sum of the nominal laying
lengths of the pipe sections used. Payment for each kind, size, and class of pipe is made at the
contract unit price for that kind, size, and class. Such payment constitutes full compensation for
furnishing, transporting, and installing the pipe including shoring, all fittings, thrust blocks,
appurtenances, and other items necessary and incidental to the completion of the work. Payment
for appurtenances listed separately in the bid schedule is made at the contract prices for those
items.
Methods 3 and 4-Excavation, backf ll, and bedding is paid separately under their respective bid
items.
All measurement and payment methods —Compensation for any items of work described in the
contract, but not Iisted in the bid schedule, is included in the payment for the item of work to
which it is made subsidiary. Such items and items to which they are made subsidiary are
identified in section 14 of this specification.
14. Items of work and construction details
This item of work includes all pipe and fittings for manure transfer and clean water culverts.
Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, all piping for manure transfer shall be
schedule 40 PVC. The minimum size piping is as shown on the drawings. Pressure
testing shall not be required.
Unless otherwise shown on the drawings, all piping for clean water culverts shall be
storm water conduit, smooth inside corrugated outside pipe (HDPE). The minimum
size piping is as shown on the drawings. Pressure testing shall not be required.
The 148' of 36" diameter pipe in ditch below milking parlor will be installed to an
existing 36" diameter culvert outlet just downhill of settling basin at parlor. The
(210-VI-NEH, May 2001) 7

drainage area of draw above pipe is 55.4 acres. The typical sunny day flow is likely
between 20 and 30 gpm. The pipe shall be installed in dry by blocking flow of water
upstream of the existing culvert. Flow in ditch downstream of culvert installation
will be maintained by two springs entering ditch 62' and 144' downstream of planned
culvert outlet. The primary source of flow is spring developments under the existing
dairy barns that where piped to the pipe outlets. If necessary, to enhance the flow
downstream of installation, water will be piped from a 100 gpm well near the pipe
installation. It is estimated that a contractor will install the 36" pipeline in less than a
day with prep work completed before starting installation. With spring now entering
ditch just downstream of culvert installation and anticipated work schedule less than a
day, it is felt aquatic life downstream of installation will not be impacted by installing
the culvert in dry condition.
• All piping shall allow for easy drainage to prevent freezing.
• Section 13 on measurement and payment does not apply to this work.
