Good Morning Chris/Sue,
Thank you for the additional time to respond. On behalf of the applicant, please see the below responses and
attachments. Please let me know if additional information is required. Thanks.
USACE Comment 1) Because of this project's location within the Henderson Scott Farm District, an environmental review
through the NC Department of Cultural Resources has been initiated (email sent April 2, 2020). We cannot verify your
project's use of Nationwide Permit 39 without their concurrence.
Applicant Response: The applicant acknowledges.
USACE Comment 2) The road crossing that would impact the stream on -site is proposed with 3:1 side slopes. Please
discuss why steeper slopes (e.g. 2:1) and the use of retaining walls are not feasible to further reduce impacts.
Applicant Response: The 3:1 side slope up -gradient of the proposed building will be graded to tie into final building
grading, which is anticipated to be near the top elevation of the road. The 3:1 side slope up -gradient of the culvert was
shown to document that stream impacts were a result of the road crossing. The down -gradient portion of the culvert
was designed with a 3:1 side slope to reduce safety concerns and will require less maintenance than a 2:1 side
slope. The applicant considered the use of retaining walls on the down -gradient portion of the stream to further
minimize slope impact to the stream. However, the cost of the retaining walls compared to the relative little amount of
reduction of stream impact is not practical or a cost effective technique to further avoid impact to waters compared to
other avoidance and minimization techniques utilize during preliminary design of the proposed facility that result in
greater avoidance of stream impact. The applicant significantly reduced the square footage of the building and the
overall disturbance limits of the proposed facility which has minimized impacts to avoid Section 404/401 Individual
Permit. The applicant further reduced and minimized impact to the stream by lowering the elevation of the road and
aligning the proposed road crossing as close to the building as possible. In doing so, the applicant further reduced the
number of tractor docks and court spaces to align the proposed road as close to the building as possible while
maintaining safe and appropriate turn radius, width, grade, etc. for safe tractor trailer accessibility. This design
technique reduced the area of stream impact by at least an additional approximate 20 linear feet. The road alignment
cannot be shifted closer to the building that proposed because of safety concerns associated with tractor accessibility
and building structural design.
USACE Comment 3) As shown on sheet C-101, proposed grading on the upstream side of the crossing appears to be
designed to key into existing grades. Would the upper limits of this feature be preserved?
Applicant Response: Please see applicant response 2.
USACE Comment 4) If the answer to # 3, above, is no, there appears to be 60 or more feet between the proposed road
crossing and facility's footprint. Please discuss why moving the road closer to the facility is not feasible.
Applicant Response: Please see applicant response 2.
USACE Comment 5) Please provide stormwater control plans for our review of potential dewatering impacts to
receiving streams. Mitigation for dewatered stream length may be required.
Applicant Response: The applicant has designed a stormwater BMP to discharge proximate to the most down -gradient
limits of stream fill to supplement surface drainage area (attached). Based on preliminary calculations, it appears that
approximately 30% or more of the existing intermittent stream drainage area will discharge proximate to un-impacted
portions of the intermittent stream down -gradient of the proposed impact limits. Therefore, it is our opinion that de -
watering of the remainder of the un-impacted streams on the site is not likely to occur.
Sincerely,
Bradley S. Luckey, PWS

Good Morning, Brad:
On Friday I sent them a nudge via email. I have not received their letter yet. I'll give her another day and then try
another route.
Thanks for the update and I'm fine with the extension,

be an issue.

I agree that'd be most efficient, thanks Sue! I suppose we should wait for Brad but if we can aim for sometime early
afternoon, that should give Renee an opportunity to respond.

We have completed review of your application to use Nationwide Permit # 39 for work within potential
waters of the United States associated with the construction of the proposed Industrial Facility— NC
