To Whom It May Concern: YOLANDSAND STORMATI ER BRANCH
,
Enclosed please find a Preconstruction Notification for the project referenced above. In
order to gain access to the site from South Roxboro St., one crossing of Waters of the US
must be made. The crossing will involve the placement of an 8' x 6' box culvert,
impacting 90 linear feet of stream. Additionally, in order to accommodate the increased
traffic one turning lane will need to be added, which will require the lengthening of an
existing culvert, impacting 0.001 acres of wetland. Total proposed impacts to Waters of
the US equal 0.011 acres.
The enclosed documents are to be considered a courtesy copy as written concurrence
from the NCDWQ is not required in this case. Thank you for your assistance in this
matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at (864) 271-3040 or

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
In order to gain access to the property from South Roxboro St., one crossing of waters of the US is necessary. The stream
parallels South Roxboro, making the impact unavoidable. The crossing has been designed to minimize the impact to the
greated extent possible through the use of retaining walls on either side of the crossing. Original plans called for a span
structure to be used at the crossing. The design plans were changed after discussions with Eric Alysmeyer during the original
permit process, in order to minimize impact associated with shade and the potential for increased downstream sedimentation
due to the loss of stream side vegetation.
