Dear Mr McMillan
On behalf of our client the Town of Fuquay Varina Kimley Horn and Associates
Inc (KHA) has evaluated the request for additional information regarding the
Individual Department of the Army Permit Application for the construction of the
Southwest Judd Parkway Extension located in Fuquay Varina Wake County
North Carolina
In response to the first comment regarding the discrepancy between temporary
wetland impacts shown in the permit drawings verses the text of the application the
impacts in the original application were incorrect The correct area is 0 21 acres as
shown in the attached drawings (Attachment 1) In response to the second
comment the Town of Fuquay Varina has updated the correspondence to your
office addressing indirect secondary and cumulative impacts in regard to
stormwater and downstream water quality Please refer to Attachment 2 for a copy
of the On Site Stormwater Commitment Letter
In addition KHA received correspondence from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (WRC) via the U S Army Corps of Engineers that had
comments on the original permit application The wetland impact areas were
revised to address the WRC comments A copy of the WRC comments to the
original permit application as well as a summary of KHA s responses is attached
(Attachment 3) Permanent wetland impact areas shown have been revised based
on the use of rip rap in the pre formed scour hole and at the outlets of the 42 RCP
pipes as shown in the revised permit drawings (Attachment 1)
Finally the mitigation acceptance letter from the Ecosystem Enhancement Program
expired December 22 2011 An updated acceptance letter has been received and is

1817 Town of Fuquay Varna Southwest Judd Parkway Extension In response to your
letter dated December 7 2011 with regards to cumulative impacts The Town of Fuquay
Varna is commits to requiring on site stormwater management measures (such as level
spreaders riparian buffers bioretention or constructed wetlands) for any additional
development on parcels adjacent to this extension of the thoroughfare Please be aware
that the Town is also currently permitted as an NPDES Phase II community and
continues to work to address these requirements Town wide

DATE 1 December 2011
SUBJECT Public Notice for Construction of Southwest Judd Parkway Extension Town of Fuquay
Vanna Wake County North Carolina Corps Action ID # SAW 2011 02004
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
subject document Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of
1977 (as amended) Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat 401 as amended 16 U S C 661 667e)
and North Carolina General Statutes (G S 113 131 et seq )
The applicant proposes to permanently impact 245 linear feet of perennial stream channel and
0 93 acres of wetlands and temporarily impact 0 34 acres of wetlands to construct the Southwest Judd
Parkway Extension Southwest Judd Parkway extension includes 2 400 linear feet of new two lane curb
and gutter roadway with four foot bicycle lanes on each side In addition NC 42 would be widened near
the project terminus to include left and right turn lanes on the newly constructed Judd Parkway The
purpose of the project is to connect an existing segment of Judd Parkway to NC 42 West to handle
increased traffic through town and to reduce traffic congestion Mitigation for the project includes
payment into the N C Ecosystem Enhancement Program
The proposed project would impact an unnamed tributary to Kenneth Creek in the Cape Fear
River Basin There are records for the state significantly rare Eastern creekshell (Villosa delumbis) in
Kenneth Creek Also there are records for the state significantly rare Carolina ladle crayfish (Cambarus
davidi) near the project area
We have several comments and recommendations regarding the design of the project
Figure Stream and Wetland Impact 1
• It appears the preformed scour hole is located in a wetland We recommend the preformed scour
hole be moved to the east so it is outside of the wetland This would avoid impacts to the
wetland

It appears stonmwater would be routed to the floodplain culverts since these culverts have
Junction boxes and nprap pads at the end of the culvert Riprap at the end of the culvert will
prevent wildlife from using these culverts We recommend stormwater be routed to the
preformed scour hole and the nprap is removed If these are only floodplain culverts then nprap
should not be needed at the ends of the culverts
The Permanent Drainage Easement (PDE) appears to show fill in the wetlands but no ditch
Also the PDE appears as a straight line as opposed to following a contour It is unclear why the
PDE line is located where it is
On the south side of the road there appears to be rock piles but no ditch is shown It is unclear
whether a draining ditch is being excavated but is not shown in this figure
Figure Wetland Impact 2
The sediment basin appears to be located in a wetland We recommend the sediment basin be

Jamie
KHA and the Town have reviewed the comments from the Wildlife Resources Commission dated December 1 2011 in
regards to the Southwest Judd Parkway Extension Individual Permit application (SAW 2011 02004) To address these
comments we have amended the plans and have provided an explanation for the changes below Attached are the
updated permit drawings to amend the original application Please do not hesitate to contact us with further questions
or concerns
Stream and Wetland Impact 1
WRC Comment — It appears the preformed scour hole is located in a wetland We recommend the preformed scour
hole be moved to the east
so it is outside of the wetland This would avoid impacts to the wetland "
KHA Response Preformed scour holes should be used in areas where uniform diffuse flow can be achieved The
practice should not be used
NCDWQ
where slopes exceed 6% Discharge area must have virtually flat slopes (e g floodplains or wetlands) per the
requirements The preformed scour hole should not be moved to the area east of the wetland because the
slopes in this area
exceed 6% Additionally changing the location of the drainage system outlet would force the drainage pipes
into a reverse grade
scenario for approximately 150 This is counter to the NCDOT convention However the permanent wetland
impact acreage has
been updated for this location to reflect the preformed scour hole area Please refer to the updated permit
drawings attached
WRC Comment 'it appears stormwater would be routed to the floodplain culverts since these culverts have function
boxes and riprap pads
at the end of the culvert Riprap at the end of the culvert will prevent wildlife from using these culverts We
recommend
stormwater be routed to the preformed scour hole and the riprap is removed If these are only floodplain
culverts then
nprap should not be needed at the ends of the culverts
KHA Response Stormdrain inlets are connected to the 42 RCP pipes and a ditch carrying offsite flows is routed into the
eastern pipe Riprap is
needed to dissipate flow at the outlet of the pipes
are restricted to a
According to the NCDWQ flows for preformed scour holes
maximum of 10 cfs therefore the ditch flow (33 cfs) cannot be routed to the preformed scour hole
system However the
permanent wetland impact acreage has been updated for this location to reflect the areas where riprap is
placed Please refer to
the updated permit drawings attached

WRC Comment 'The PDE appears to show fill in the wetlands, but no ditch Also the PDE appears as a straight line
as opposed to following a
contour It is unclear why the PDE line is located where it is
KHA Response The ditch is present in this area and is now portrayed on the updated permit drawings The PDE is a
permanent drainage
easement that allows access to the drainage features for future maintenance it does not follow the
contours
WRC Comment 'On the south side of the road there appears to the rock piles but no ditch is shown It is unclear
whether a drainage ditch is
being excavated, but is not shown in this figure
KHA Response The ditch is present in this area and is now portrayed on the updated permit drawings
Wetland Impact 2
WRC Comment — 'The sediment basin appears to be located in a wetland We recommend the sediment basin be
relocated to avoid impacts to
the wetland
KHA Response In previous designs the sediment basin at Station 30 +00 (RT) was initially designed for 56 x112
however to
reduce impacts to the wetlands the sediment basin was reduced to 34 x102 which we consider to be the
minimal footprint of the resin required to adequately treat the flow As a design approach we worked to keep
sediment basins outside of jurisdictional areas however this particular basin is necessary and even after our
minimization efforts the impact at this location is unavoidable Additional considerations were taken to keep
other sediment basins out of the wetlands as can be seen in the wetland permit drawing figures attached
