Re: Authorization Certification (Determination of No Practical Alternative) for Stream Buffer
Disturbance — Yanceyville Apartments (TRC # 2020-0078)
Dear Mr. Young:
In accordance with the State of North Carolina's Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0267 — Jordan Water Supply
Nutrient Strategy: Protection of Existing Riparian Buffers., any applicant that intends to disturb Zone 1
and Zone 2 of the stream buffer must show that there is "No Practical Alternative" to impact the stream
buffer. The applicant submitted a "No Practical Alternative Request" on July 27, 2020 stating that a
temporary and permanent stream buffer disturbances in Zone 1 and Zone 2 are necessary for the
installation of a sanitary sewer line and for a coffer dam bypass pump around method.
The City of Greensboro determined that there will only be impacts for the sanitary sewer installation of
1790 square feet in Zone 1 and 933 square feet in Zone 2. There will also be a temporary impact to Zone
1 of 225 square feet for the coffer dam bypass pump. The permanent impacts for the Jordan Water
supply Watershed stream buffer are necessary for the proposed development. Finally, the applicant
should secure any other required federal, state, and local certifications before the project proceeds.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that was described in the application. If any
modifications are made to the project a written notification describing the changes, must be submitted to
the City of Greensboro Water Resources Department, Engineering Division (Stormwater Engineering
Section). If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
This letter completes the review of The City of Greensboro, Water Resources Department, Engineering
Division (Stormwater Engineering Section) under the Determination of No Practical Alternative. If you
have any questions, please contact Virginia Spillman at 336-373-3260.
Sincerely,
Virginia Spillman, PE, CFM
