Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:* EAsting conditions onsite consists primarily of wooded land as well as the existing sewer easement. General land use in the vicinity of the project is predominately forested land and residential developments. The original sewer line was installed between 2004 and 2007 and was permitted prior to that, some in association with Bowling Green subdivision , some in association with the Austin Creek Development and the remainder permitted by the Town of Wake Forest . The associated Corps Action ID#'s are 200321398, 200420372, 200420427 & 200520191. The associated DWR project numbers are 03-1581 & 05-1480. 4b.

List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: Approximately 0.17 acres 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: Approximately 62 LF of streams 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The purpose of this project is to make improvements regarding sanitary sewer lines that were installed between 2004 and 2007. The system has been analyzed for existing flows, existing flows plus development flows and then for the entire basin's development. The Austin Creek outfall was originally constructed to meet the requirements of the basin with much less development planned and since then Wake Forest has seen great growth. Most utility systems are not installed for the ultimate buildout of the service area. That ties up too much capital to provide capacity for the distant future. At some point in time the usage grows to match the available capacity and the existing system has to improved. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* The overall project consists of the replacement of existing sanitary sewer lines for upgraded ones. Specifically, there are four (4) impacts to wetlands, streams and riparian buffers associated with sewer outfalls. Equipment typically used for construction and earthwork such as backhoes, bulldozers, excavators, graders, pavers etc. will be utilized for this project. 4j.

Supporting Documentation 2020-12-21 Sewer Improvements Impact Maps.pdf Sewer Profiles.pdf 1.39MB 2.28MB 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: S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided & minimized to the ma dmum e:dent practicable. Impact 1 is temporary riparian buffer impacts for sewer ouffalls. The sewer outfall impact themselves are temporary and will occur within the epsting cleared sewer easement. Most of the buffer impacts will also occur in Zone 2, minimizing riparian buffer impacts to Zone 1. Impact 2 is proposed temporary stream and riparian buffer impacts for a sewer outfall. The sewer crossing is placed at a perpendicular angle to minimize stream impacts. The stream will be restored to epsting conditions after the removal of the coffer dam being utilized. Impact 3 is proposed temporary wetland, stream and riparian buffer impacts for a sewer outfall. These temporary impacts will occur within an already epsting cleared sewer easement. An epsting cleared maintenance corridor will be used for access to minimize potential impacts. Impact 4 is proposed temporary wetland impact for a sewer outfall. An epsting maintenance corridor will be used as access to limit wetland impacts. The access serves as a path to an upstream manhole for pump around during the sewer pipe replacement. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: All work will be conducted in the dry. Silt fence, coffer dams and pump arounds will be used to minimize disturbance and all activities will remain within the cleared portions of the epsting City of Raleigh Sewer Easements. Erosion control measures are planned for trenching activities. 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: Permanent stream impacts are less than 150 LF and permanent wetland impacts are less than .10 of an acre. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) u 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 What type of SCM are you providing? r Level Spreader r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT) r Wetland Swale (higher SHW7) r Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen 9 Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer Diffuse Flow Documentation 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)? r Yes r No 2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program? r Yes r No r NIA - project disturbs < 1 acre Comments: No Stormwater management plan for these improvements. No new impervious planned, just subsurface utility replacement. G. Supplementary Information 1. Environmental Documentation 1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?* r Yes r No 1b. If you answered "yes" to the above, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or State (North Carolina) Environmental Policy Act (NEPAISEPA)? * r Yes r No Comments:* Proposed impacts are less than what requires a SEPA or NEPA review. 2. Violations (DWR Requirement) 2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? * r Yes r No 3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement) 3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?* r Yes r No 3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs' document prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and silvicultural operations. The Austin Creek Sanitary Sewer Improvements project is a utility line improvement/replacement project. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) 4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?* r Yes r No r NIA 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?* r Yes r No 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?* r Yes r No 5d. Is another Federal agency involved?* r Yes r No r Unknown 5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8? r Yes r No 5f. Will you cut any trees in order to conduct the work in waters of the U.S.? r Yes r No 5g. Does this project involve bridge maintenance or removal? r Yes r No 5h. Does this project involve the construction/installation of a wind turbine(s)?* r Yes r No 5i. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.? r Yes r No 5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? The NC Natural Heritage Programs Data E)plorer Map was used to search for elemental occurrences of federally protected species listed within and within 1-mile of the project boundaries. It was determined based on the search that there are no elemental occurrences that are listed as federally Threatened/Endangered within or within 1-mile of the project boundaries.
