Re: Riparian/Watershed Buffer Rules for Deep River Road Greenway (E-4939)
Dear Wetlands Unit:
Attached are five (5) copies of aPre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form for the
Deep River Road Greenway project. The project consists of 2,926 LF of 10' wide greenway.
The sections of greenway trail that encroach into Zone 1 of the stream buffer (approx. 95 LF)
will be elevated and constructed of timber. The elevated timber greenway trail will be supported
by 6"x6" pressure treated posts spaced on 8' centers. An 80 LF timber bridge is proposed to
span Boulding Branch and the FEMA designated Floodway. The bridge will require an abutment
on each side of Boulding Branch (outside of the floodway).
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions or require additional
information, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
1~~'~

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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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/strmglide. html .

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.
N/A
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please

Manual that are adjacent to stream channels located within the project boundaries. The project boundaries contain
stream channels that flow to the Deep River and the Cape Fear River and ultimately to the Atlantic Ocean.

Dear Ms. Wade:
Enclosed is a request for Corps' verification of a jurisdictional delineation of streams and wetland
areas within two corridors near High Point, North Carolina that have been selected to contain the
path of a public, pedestrian trail. The primary objective of the trail designers is to avoid impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the U.S./State. The first site is south of the intersection of Deep
River and Hickswood Road, to the east of Deep River Road. The second site (about one mile south-
west of the first) is south of the new Highway 311, between Briarcliff Drive and Wickham Avenue.
Within both corridors are several streams and wetland features that have been flagged with
consecutively numbered, pink flagging, following protocols set forth in the 19$7 USACE Wetlands
Delineation Manual, as well referring to regional indicators (e.g., vegetation, hydrology, sails).
Attached to this letter are the following materials: delineation verification request form; vicinity map;
USGS topo map selection; NRCS SSURGO soils selection; an aerial photo selection; and
approximate locations of stream and wetland flags. All of the maps have the approximate boundaries
of the project corridor clearly defined. Upland data sheets representative of the non-stream portions
of the property and a wetland data sheets for the wetland areas are included for your reference.
Thank you far your cooperation. If you have any questions or require additional information, please
advise us at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
S&ME, Inc.
