9 aq~Pit ENGINEERING, PLLC 1 10 Scott Avenue, Suite 3 High Point, NC 27265 Phone: (336) 887-9009 Fax: (336) 887-5174 March l 5, 2007 NCDENR Division of Water Quality 401/Wetlands Unit 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 07.051 1 PAYI~^ ENT RECEIVED Re: Harris Farms Subdivision Fisher Ferry Road Pre-Construction Notification Thomasville, NC Dear Sir: Please find the Pre-Construction Notification for Harris Farms Subdivision in Thomasville, North Carolina. The site improvements include a roadway crossing a perennial stream and a sanitary sewer line crossing a tributary to the same feature. The roadway crosses ablue-line stream while the sewer line crosses a depression that is not indicated to be perennial or intermittent on the USGS map. The roadway crossing and the sewer line crossing cannot be avoided to build the project. The road culverts are to be installed as duplex features to minimize the amount of fill. Similarly, the culverts are designed to pass the required design storms. To avoid future impacts, lots 3 through 7 have been configured to prevent future crossings to access the building areas of the lots. Additionally, the pipe alignment and rip-rap energy section are designed to minimize disturbances to the stream while meeting the required horizontal alignment required by both the City of Thomasville and NCDOT. The sewer line serving lots 1 l through 14 is designed shallow to prevent unnecessary excavation in that drainage feature. The impacts include 124 linear feet of impacts to the blue-line stream and 20 linear feet of impacts to cross the other drainage feature. Thus, the combined impacts necessary to construct the project are 144 linear feet of impacts (even if both features are determined to be perennial), so mitigation is not required for this project. Please feel free to contact me at (336) 887-9009 or (336) 687-9009 if any further information is required. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, 2 _ I~.1 ~.,_Q -~ Paul R.

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 impacts due to the crossinu are to be minimized by matching the roadwav elevation with a minimum amount of cover over the required culverts. The channel improvements are necessary to provide a smooth transition into and out of the pipe and provide energy dissipation. The sewer crossin ig_s required due to topographical restraints. 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 9 of 12 ~r 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. 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. 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 (919) 733-5208 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.
