Please change this to an IP rather than a NWP27
Ian,
This is a good project and fairly simple one, the USACE just had to do an IP because the NWP doesn't really cover it as we
recently discussed. I've already done a site visit (not knowing that they were going this route or I would have invited
you) so it'll be pretty simple. I have no comments for the USACE and no hold letter necessary. Basically I am ready to
issue when the notice is over, and they hope to do an abbreviated notice of 15 days and do it very soon. This project
could lose funding if it doesn't start soon. Let me know your thoughts/comments etc.

downtown Sparta, at the town center, hrrn right onto W. Dougliton St and then a left on Grayson Street. Project will be 0.1 miles down
Grayson Street on the left behind the Skyline Telephone Membership Corporation building.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
The project is a stortmvater BMP/wetland enhancement project intended to control stormwater volumes and improve water quality of
stormwater prior to entering into the downstream waterbody. The project area contains a total of 0.41 acres of wetland that have been
verified by the Corps. Berms are to be constructed of on-site material. The berms will be approximately 30' wide at the base, 8' wide at
the top, 3.5'-4.5' tall and 30'-170' long, The wetland area being filled is 0.1 acres. The berms will serve to create 3 wetland cells (fiat will
be controlled by large CMP riser nutlet structures. Ares within the wetland cells will be excavated to create micro-topography zones
within the wetlands to support different native wetland plant species. These different zones and plants will serve to remove different
pollutants.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
The purpose of this project is to improve downstream water quality, attenuate stormflows to reduce erosion and increase storage, and to
enhance the existing on-site wetland. Downstream flooding and water quality have been identified as areas of concern by the Town of
Sparta and by the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program. This project is not required and not associated with any development.
USE BLOCKS 20.23 IF DREDGED AND/OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED
20. Reason(s) for Discharge
Fill material of 0.1 acres will be used to create berms within the project area. These berms will serve to detain a design water quality storm
and allow for the uptake of pollutants by native wetland species and allow sediment to settle from the stormwater. The size of these berms
have been minimized to the extent possible while still conforming to design standards set by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type in Cubic Yards:
Type Type Type
Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards Amount in Cubic Yards
Chester loam. 1,500 CY
22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see Instructions)
Acres Two separate locations will be filled in the project area. The surface area of the first location is 0.077 acres and the surface area
or
Linear Feet of the second location is 0.022 acres for a total of 0.099 acres. An excavator will be used for all earthwork,
23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions)
All fill areas were minimized to the extent possible while still keeping the necessary treatment volume required by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality. The footprints of the berms were minimized by making the berm side slopes as steep as possible while still
remaining stable. The been side slopes are to be stabilized with erosion control matting. Compensatory mitigation should not be required
because this project will not only increase the size and enhance the quality and function of the existing wetland, but will also improve
downstream water quality.
