Alan,
There is only one stream restoration project. Apologies for the confusion. The official project name listed on the permit submittals is
Duke Marshall Stream Restoration. See attached for the DWR Pre -Filing Meeting Request Form. We do have a USACE project
number, as this e-PCN was submitted prior to the pre -filing meeting request. (SAW-2020-01619). See attached for a copy of the e-PCN
submittal.
This project is located within and adjacent to the Duke Marshall (Line 451) Natural Gas Pipeline project which spanned Lincoln and
Catawba Counties. There are no active permit applications associated with the natural gas pipeline project. All permits for this project
have been submitted, approved, and the work is underway / nearing completion. The DWR number associated with the pipeline project
is 19-0425.
Feel free to give me a call to discuss further (336-899-9806).
Thanks,
Alex Darr

Do you have good photo(s) of the stream. I saw the plan, it is a limited stream segment, so I
agree an actual visit shouldn't be needed.

Hi Alan,

I am following up to a voicemail I just left you. Our team spoke with you earlier this year regarding an upcoming project near Denver,
North Carolina along Killian Creek. We have submitted the electronic PCN and associated request for express 401 water quality
certification. If you will, please give me a call at your convenience (Office: 470.678.8899 or Cell: 336.899.9806).

Please give a brief project description below.*

The purpose of the proposed project is to restore the reach of Killian Creek
which bisects Piedmont Natural Gas's utility right-of-way. The project
bounds have been extended outside of the existing right-of-way to tie the
stream restoration into an appropriate, stable portion of Killian Creek up
and downstream of the proposed project area. The degraded and unstable
stream has resulted in concerns of utility asset integrity. Piedmont Natural
Gas has a 20-inch natural gas pipeline within their easement that is at risk
of exposure if the stream continues to laterally and vertically erode, incise,
and undercut. The restoration activities would restore the unstable reach of
Killian Creek utilizing Rosgen Natural Channel Design techniques in order
to improve the conditions of the resource, water quality, aquatic habitat,
and to protect the utility asset.
The proposed stream restoration project initiates at latitude 35.508786,
longitude-81.039435 and then continues downstream along 457 linear feet
of existing unstable Killian Creek stream channel. The restoration activities
would include the installation of natural stream structures such as toe
wood, root wads, log veins, and rock veins / rock j-hooks. The restoration
would also include the installation of riffle, pool, glide, and run sequencing
to improve habitat, sediment transport characteristics, and stability. An
appropriate sinuosity, bankfull elevation, floodplain shelf, and point bars
would be established for the proposed project to remedy the existing
vertical streambanks. The proposed stream banks and riparian buffer
would be restored with coir fiber matting, native riparian seed mix, and
various tree species. Live willow stakes will be installed on the proposed
stream banks. No indirect impacts are anticipated with the proposed
project. The project will be accomplished utilizing typical equipment such as
excavators, graders, pump around devices, turbidity curtains, and
appropriate erosion control best management practices. The project is
sequenced by installation of best management practices, stream
restoration activities, continual maintenance of best management practices,
implementation of the revegetation plan, final stabilization, removal of best
management practices, and project completion. The limits of disturbance
surrounding the stream restoration reach have been expanded to allowfor
selective harvesting of woody material for instream structures and prevent
excessive clearing.
Upon the initiation of this project during the water's delineation, significant
instability, erosion, and bank avulsion were clearly observed. At that time,
the stream could be seen rerouting itself and creating a new channel near
the point of tangency of the low radius bend within the proposed
restoration reach. Recently observed during follow-up site visits, the stream
has completed the creation of this new channel and has abandoned the
low radius bend, creating what can now be observed as an oxbow feature
in the relic stream channel. The impacts to be included in the pre -
construction notification account for the abandonment of the relic channel
bend, the restoration of the stream reach, and the temporary impacts for
best management practices (turbidity curtain / dam & pump around device).
Impacts associated with this project would include permanent impact to 331
linear feet of stream (restoration), permanent loss of 126 linear feet of
stream (loss of relic channel), and temporary impact to 35 linear feet of
stream (construction best management practices).
This project was originally discussed on March 24th, 2020 between Flynt
Barksdale (Pond and Company) and Alan Johnson (NCDEQ).

3j. Comments:
The loss of 126 linear feet of stream accounts for the recent abandonment of the stream channel through natural erosive processes. The combination
of a very low radius bend and the excess precipitation experienced throughout the region during late 2019 and early 2020 has resulted in this channel
abandonment and realignment through natural processes. The relic channel will be utilized to establish a wetland / floodplain bench as flood relief for
the proposed restoration reach. The wetland / floodplain bench vdll increase streambank stability, improve habitat conditions, reduce downstream
migration of sediment, and increase the native species diversity through the revegetation plan. The temporary impact to 35 linear feet of stream is
intended to provide additional workspace for the installation of a turbidity curtain and dewatering dam and pump around device to segregate the
workspace and minimize sedimentation downstream. The permanent impact to 331 linear feet of stream is to accommodate the implementation of the
stream restoration design plan per Rosgen Natural Channel Design techniques.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
Preliminary environmental surveys were conducted during the conceptual phase of this project and included field delineations within and adjacent to
the project area to identify all nearby sensitive resources. Using the environmental data collected, the least impactful design plan was chosen, and
additional modifications were made to reduce impacts at stream crossings and locations of stream structure installation. Within the surveyed project
area, one perennial stream was delineated (Killian Creek). Stream restoration activities and erosion control best management practices have been
designed and specified to reduce the impact of construction activities by all means practicable. The use of turbidity curtains, pump around devices,
temporary stream crossings, compost filter sock, mulching, native seed mixes, rolled erosion control product, and construction sequencing have been
specified in the stream restoration design plans (Attachment E), to minimize unnecessary impacts to Killian Creek. The implementation of a
revegetation plan including the use of native riparian and wetland seed mixes, 3-gallon container trees, and 1-gallon shrubs are included in the stream
restoration design plan to further restore the unstable reach of Killian Creek.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*

Construction has been specified in the plans to occur only as weather permits. During and after major storm events where stream flow is elevated,
construction will cease until conditions improve. Measures such as pump around devices, turbidity curtains, compost filter sock, mulching, rolled
erosion control products, dust control, and temporary stabilization measures will be utilized to minimize the introduction of sediment into the stream.
The use of earthen cofferdams will be utilized by the contractor when installing toe wood, root wads, and log/rock vanes in the stream bank. This
construction practice, as well as the other erosion control measures specified, are vital in reducing downstream migration of sediment during active
construction. The use of timber matting platforms and timber mat stream crossings will be utilized by the construction contractor to reduce instream
disturbance. The use of turbidity curtains and a dam and pump around system will minimize the downstream migration of sediment through
segregation of the stream restoration workspace. Additionally, construction activities have been sequenced to minimize the length of time for which
stream banks remain in disturbed condition and ensure temporary stabilization occurs as soon as possible.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Per the USACE Wilmington District Regional General Conditions (Section 3.2), compensatory mitigation is not required unless a project results in the loss of greater than 150 linear feet
of stream channel. This project is necessary to remedy significant bank instability, avulsion, and reduction in resource quality due to aquatic habitat degradation and accelerated
downstream sediment migration. The loss in stream length is necessary to reduce the stream bend radius of curvature. If nothing is done, further stream bank avulsion and erosion will
occur, resulting in continued degradation of the resource and downstream water quality. The 126 linear feet of stream loss from the recent natural channel abandonment and
realignment will be converted into a functional floodplain / wetland shelf as a part of the stream restoration. The floodplain shelf will essentially function as a wetland with hydrology,
soils, and vegetation appropriate for a floodplain wetland. The stream restoration activities will include revegetation using appropriate native riparian/wetland seed mixes to accelerate
the wetland resource establishment.
NC Stream Temperature Classification Maps can be found under the Mitigation Concepts tab on the Wilmington District's RIBITS website.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
*** Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section .***
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
For a list of options to meet the diffuse flow requirements, click here.
If no, explain why:
The project is located in the Catawba River Basin. NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules do apply in this river basin; however, riparian buffers are only regulated on the mainstem
Catawba River and associated lakes from Lake James to the North Carolina / South Carolina border. The lakes along the mainstem which recieve riparian buffer protection include Lake
James, Lake Rhodhiss, Lake Hickory, Lookout Shoals Lake, Lake Norman, Mountain Island Lake and the North Carolina portion of Lake Wylie. The Catawba River Riparian Buffer Rule
does not apply to the stream (Killian Creek) associated with this project.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?*

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?*
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) Official Species List for
Lincoln County, North Carolina. Based on species habitat requirements, no listed species, aside from the northern long-eared bad (Myotis
septentrionalis), indicated as potentially occurring within Lincoln County, North Carolina are anticipated to occur within the project area; therefore,
formal coordination with USFWS has not occurred. According to the USFWS 4(d) Rule, incidental take of the northern long-eared bat through tree
removal is not prohibited unless it results in removing a known, occupied maternal roost tree, removal activities within 150 feet of a known material root
tree from June 1 to July 31, or removing trees within 0.25 miles of a hibernaculum at any time of year. Online review of state resources and field
observations do not indicate presence of roost trees or hibernacula in the project area; therefore, it is anticipated that there will be no effect to
endangered species.
