Senior Project Engineer From: Annino, Amy M <amy.annino@ncdenr.gov> Sent: Friday, August 28, 2020 3:02 PM To: David Weikle <dweikle@shieldengineering.com> Cc: Smith, Mike M <michael.smith@ncdenr.gov> Subject: RE: [External] RE: Bostic Landfill site Mr. Weikle, Thank you for providing the Division with the revised drawings, calculations, and response letter. After speaking with Mike Smith (DEMLR), I understand that you have provided DEMLR with revisions to the plan and associated calculations. Please see my comments below: • Please provide the Division with the most recent revised project plans. [15A NCAC 02H .0502 (b)(3)] SHIELD IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE DWR WITH THE LATEST APPROVED DRAWINGS. • Please provide calculations showing that all stormwater entering jurisdictional waters at station 0+60 will be at non -erosive velocities (2.5 ft/second) for the 10 year storm event. SHIELD HAS ATTACHED CALCUATIONS SHOWING THE PRE- OF POST -PROJECT FLOWS AT STATION 0+30. A ROUGHNESS COEFFICIENT OF 0.035 WAS USED (OPEN CHANNELS— EARTH FAIRLY UNIFORM —SIDES CLEAN, COBBLE BOTTOM) FOR BOTH THE BEFORE AND AFTER CONSTRUCTION. AS CAN BE SEEN, THE VELOCITY ACTUALLY DECREASES FROM 6.32 TO 4.89 DUE TO THE PROPOSED WIDENING OF THE CHANNEL. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT BASED ON THE NATURAL SLOPE OF THE CHANNEL AND THE ACTUAL DRAINAGE AREA FEEDING THE CHANNEL, A VELOCITY OF 2.5 FPS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVIDE. Impact S1: Provide justification for the proposed stream channel dimensions based on reference reach information or stable dimensions upstream and downstream of the impact area. Size the channel appropriately to prevent future channel aggradation or degradation. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)] THE CHANNEL WAS SIZED TO GRADUALLY NARROW/TRANSITION FROM OUR UPPER DITCH WIDTH OF 10' TO THE NATURAL WIDTH OF THE CHANNELATTHE PROPERTY LINE. Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not received by September 28, 2020, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned.

Senior Project Engineer From: Annino, Amy M <amy.annino@ncdenr.gov> Sent: Wednesday, July 1, 2020 7:21 AM To: David Weikle <dweikle@shieldengineering.com> Cc: Smith, Mike M <michael.smith@ncdenr.gov> Subject: Bostic Landfill site On April 15, 2020, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated April 8, 2020 requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. On April 15, 2020, the application was placed on hold while the Division determined whether an application fee was required. On May 8, 2020, the Division determined that an application fee was not necessary. After initial review of the application, the Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on hold until the following items are addressed: 1. The plan proposes to excavate landfill material from within and below an existing intermittent stream. After excavation is complete, a 10 foot wide ditch with a 5.2% slope will be graded to provide a channel for the intermittent stream below an existing spring head (to remain undisturbed). The new ditch will be stabilized with seed, straw, and coir matting. No grade control within the proposed ditch has been proposed. a. The Division is concerned about stream channel stability within the proposed 10 foot wide, 5.2% slope ditch. Please provide calculations showing that streamflow and stormwater flow will not degrade the restored channel or downstream waters. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (b)(3)] 2. Wattles are specified as 'Excelsior Wattle' in the drawing within the Sediment Wattle detail on sheet 9. All wattles specified for placement in jurisdictional waters should be either a coir log or coir wattle and contain no plastic netting or mesh. Please provide a specification sheet on selected product and update the plan accordingly. a. What is the timeline for maintaining and removing wattles from the stream after the project has concluded? The wattles should not be left permanently. b. Any sediment removed from behind wattles in the stream should be performed by hand with shovel and bucket and spoils should be stabilized at least 30 feet from surface waters. Please provide a location on the plan for spoils to be deposited and stabilized. 3. Is application of PAM proposed for all wattles? Use of PAM is not allowable on wattles in jurisdictional waters. Please indicate this in the plan set. 4. The plan shows a silt fence outlet to be installed at the LOD within the channel of the intermittent stream. a. This Office believes that the silt fence outlet can be revised to avoid and minimize the impacts to the stream. Please provide an alternative to installing a silt fence outlet within the channel of the intermittent stream. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f) and (g)] 5. At what station do you expect to begin the pump around sequence? Please provide more detail on where / how you intend to pump spring flow and stream flow (as well as any groundwater seepage) around the work area to protect downstream waters. Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not received by August 1, 2020, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned.
