Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to report.spam@nc.gov 0 Thank you for your PCN and attached information, dated 6/19/2020, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 (http://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2017/2017NWP29.pdf). Please submit the requested information below (via e-mail is fine) within 30 days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide Permit or consider your application withdrawn and close the file: 1) The Corps completed a field verification of the delineation of wetlands and other waters of the US yesterday with Pilot Environmental. The updated field sketch is attached. Please update the "Stormwater Plan" (Sheet 4 of 17) with the overlay of the verified wetlands and other waters of the US. Although a GPS location of the approved wetland flags, stream channels, and ponds is acceptable through most of the property, the limits of Wetland WA/WAA and WD 18-36, and well as Streams ISA and SA in the vicinity of the proposed impact area must be surveyed by a licensed Land Surveyor. This complete map will allow us the fully evaluate direct and indirect impacts associated with the proposed project; 2) Regarding the proposed Falcons Trail stream crossing: a. Given the very small remnant of stream channel that would remain upstream of the proposed following construction, the Corps will consider the length of stream between the origin of Stream ISA and the culvert inlet as an indirect loss of stream function and include this length in the calculation of stream loss. Based on QL2 LiDAR and a georeferenced version of your project plans, this length of stream channel is approximately 16 linear feet; b. The proposed culvert slope is very steep (>6%); as such, this culvert would not retain sediment. Further, the stream bed in this location is rocky with several areas of exposed bedrock. Given the preceding, there is no environmental benefit to burying the culvert below the stream bed. As such, please confirm with NCDWR that they are in favor of placing the culvert at grade in this situation. If agreed, please redesign accordingly and update the PCN and applicable plansheets; c. Based on item b., embedding the rip rap pad in the stream bed is not practicable. Would it be possible to only rip rap the banks in this case? If not, update the plans to show the rip rap pad to be placed at/above grade within the stream channel; During yesterday's field visit, we observed a rock head cut/"waterfall" approximately 34 in vertical height near the proposed culvert outlet and rip rap pad, however this feature is not shown on the profile. Please update the profile drawing accordingly and adjust the proposed crossing to account for this feature to maintain stability of the stream channel; 3) The "Stormwater Plan" (Sheet 4 of 17), when overlaid on the wetland delineation, indicates via lot lines that the only access to upland portions of this lot require crossing Wetland WD 18-36. Please explain/show how access to this lot will be achieved without requiring additional impacts to wetlands. Please note that authorization to impact this wetland for lot access may be difficult to obtain, given the numerous avoidance and minimization techniques/methods available to find alternative accesses to this property. Note also that, based on my site visit, this wetland appears to be a high quality wetland resource 4) Please note that several lots include wetland and/or stream resources within their proposed lot lines, including Lots 2-17, 19, 20, 25, 27, 28, 32, 33, 41-47 (Lot 47 is bisected by Stream SB).
