3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of
this application: The Ditch looks good. It doesn't need any major updates. This is what I
want to do with the Ditch in my backyard. It needs attention before It goes too far and expensive to
update. It has not had any attention or up dates since this house was built in 2008. Now it's time to
do something to prevent erosion (which is beginning to go into the Property Line) and update before
it does become a problem. E.G. URBAN/SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL
3b. Attach an 8 % x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location
of the site Copy attached Map 3 B) not sure
3c. Attach an 8 % x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the published County NRCS Soil Survey Map
depicting the project site I AM NOT REAL SURE WHICH MAP TO USE
3d. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (Intermittent and perennial) on the property:
The section is approximately 25 linear feet long or less on the south property line and ner the
north property line.
3e. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: Put down Riparian Buffer having sufficient strength,
stability and stiffness. Rock: Used in conjunction with rock toe protection and live stakes. This will
provide stabilization of the ditch bank. It will control the width of the ditch bank. Purpose: To
prevent erosion coming Into my Property line and prevent it before this becomes a major problem.
This is a very small project but it needs to be attended to.
3f. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Stabilizing two sections
of the stream bank on my property, each section approximately 25 linear feet long or less on near the
south property line and the other near the north property line. Each section would involve grading the
slopes to stable slopes (-2:1 or flattery placing filter fabric and placing rip rap of sufficient size to
prevent erosion. The stabilized sections should be tied into the adjacent natural sections or stitched
In a way that prevents erosion along the edges of the rip rap. No tree cutting will be cut down.
Tools used: Cutting trimmers to take out numerous invasive autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) shrubs
within the stream buffer. No Roots will be taken out The Poison will be removed. Shovel, Wheel
barrel to bring rock to back yard.

There will be no impacts, it's just getting approval to help maintain and keep what is there in place.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques. This is just to control what Is there and prevent what could become a major problem
in the future. There will be no construction techniques. We will put Riparian Buffer and rock to
prevent future problems.

to me, Stephanie
Hello Ms. Jones, and thank you for meeting me this afternoon at your property at 114 White Deer Trail, in Garner, Wa
County, North Carolina As we discussed, your proposed project fits the terms and conditions of Nationwide Permit 13
for bank stabilization (see attached) without requiring submittal of a permit application (i.e. Pre -Construction Notice).
Specifically, as discussed on -site your project was described as:
-'-,Stabilizing two sections of the stream bank on your property, each section approximately 25 linear feet Iong or less, on
near the south property line and the other near the north property line. Each section would involve grading the slopes tc
stable slope (-2:1 or flatter), placing filter fabric, and placing rip rap of sufficient size to prevent erosion. The stabilize
sections should be tied into the adjacent natural sections or stream bank in a way that prevents erosion along the edges
the rip rap. No tree cutting is proposed.
The remainder of your stream bank appeared well vegetated and stable, with no visible need of stabilization actions.
We also discussed proposed trimming of shrubs along the stream bank. Please discuss this proposal with Ms. Seph�anis
Goss of the NC Division of Water Resources to ensure that your proposal is in compliance with the State of NC Ripari;
Buffer Rules. While on -site I did observe numerous invasive autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) shrubs within the
stream buffer, and you may want to mention that to Ms. Goss.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
