4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Pilot Mountain's WTP is aged and in need of repair. Extensive maintenance hours are spent on repairing aging equipment that is at the end of its useful life. A regionalization study,
completed in 2016, has identified the option of an interconnection with Mt. Airy. The interconnection will allow Pilot Mountain to purchase finished water from Mt. Airy and decommission
the WTP.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will involve construction of approximately 36,850 linear feet of 12" Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) water line by open cut trench excavation (see Plan and Profile Sheets C-101
through C-127). Erosion and sediment control devices such as pipe inlet and outlet protection on existing culverts, wattle ditch protection, channel matting, and standard silt fence will
be provided during construction (see Detail Sheets C-503 and C-510). Disturbed areas will be stabilized per NC Land Quality Section erosion control regulations (see Sheet C-504).
Water line construction is expected to take place primarily within a previously disturbed and maintained existing right-of-way along Old US 52. The Contractor will be required to follow all
applicable local, state, and federal regulations while constructing the project.
Eight stream crossing are required for water line installation, no wetland areas were found within the project corridor (see Impact Map). The open cut trench method was chosen for
stream crossings. Directional boring for the crossings was considered but due to limited project budget, limited work space for bore pits, and potential bedrock occurrence it was
determined that open cut trench was the least impactful option.
All in -stream work will occur in the dry utilizing a pump around or other flow diversion technique (see Sheets C-510 and C-511). Excavated stream bed and bank material will beside
cast and used for trench backfill once water line is installed. Stream banks will be returned to original contours and elevations and stabilized with native NC riparian seed mix, fully
biodegradable matting, and native live stakes (see Detail Sheets C-501 and C-511). It is anticipated that a maximum of 30 linear feet of temporary stream impacts will occur at each
crossing due to water line installation and equipment maneuvering.
Typical excavation and backfill equipment to be used in pipe installation including back hoe, track hoe, and large trucks.

LEImpact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Project designed to minimize stream impacts as much as practical. Erosion control measures designed to limit off -site and stream sedimentation.
Measures will remain in place until site has reached full stabilization. The Contractor will be required to followall applicable local, state, and federal
regulations while constructing the project.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All erosion control measures will be installed prior to land disturbing activities. All temporary stream impacts are to be restored in regards to the stream
bed and bank to its original condition. All disturbed areas will be restored to original contours with no changed to runoff patterns. Native riparian seed
mix will be used at stream crossings. Erosion control measures will be employed to limit sediment runoff along construction corridor.

distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Description
This rating indicates the percentage of map units that meets the criteria for hydric
soils. Map units are composed of one or more map unit components or soil
types, each of which is rated as hydric soil or not hydric. Map units that are made
up dominantly of hydric soils may have small areas of minor nonhydric
components in the higher positions on the landform, and map units that are made
up dominantly of nonhydric soils may have small areas of minor hydric
components in the lower positions on the landform. Each map unit is rated based
on its respective components and the percentage of each component within the
map unit.
The thematic map is color coded based on the composition of hydric
components. The five color classes are separated as 100 percent hydric
components, 66 to 99 percent hydric components, 33 to 65 percent hydric
components, 1 to 32 percent hydric components, and less than one percent
hydric components.
In Web Soil Survey, the Summary by Map Unit table that is displayed below the
map pane contains a column named 'Rating'. In this column the percentage of
each map unit that is classified as hydric is displayed.
Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils
(NTCHS) as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding
long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the
upper part (Federal Register, 1994). Under natural conditions, these soils are
either saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support
the growth and reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.
The NTCHS definition identifies general soil properties that are associated with
wetness. In order to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or nonhydric
soil, however, more specific information, such as information about the depth and
duration of the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify those estimated
soil properties unique to hydric soils have been established (Federal Register,
2002). These criteria are used to identify map unit components that normally are
associated with wetlands. The criteria used are selected estimated soil properties
that are described in "Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 1999) and "Keys to Soil
Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 2006) and in the "Soil Survey Manual" (Soil Survey
Division Staff, 1993).
If soils are wet enough for a long enough period of time to be considered hydric,
they should exhibit certain properties that can be easily observed in the field.
These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils. The indicators used to
make onsite determinations of hydric soils are specified in "Field Indicators of
Hydric Soils in the United States" (Hurt and Vasilas, 2006).
