The City of Raleigh is re submitting a PCN for this project which includes the Walnut
Creek Trail from to the Worthdale Park to the Neuse River more than 4 miles of
trail in total
Please note that the seven comments from the letter dated December 20 2011
have been addressed as follows
1 Buffers have been included for the streams in the project corridor Buffer
Impact sites B6 - B11 have been added Attached are revised buffer
drawings for all 11 sites
2 Wetland site W3 was incorrectly named It has been revised
3 We have added a scale on all impact drawings The plan sheets are to City
standards but are 50 scale The scale information is noted on the
titlesheet
4 The dashed line shown in W3 is not a stream It was noted as a low area
during our aerial survey and thus shows that designation However the
natural systems investigation conducted by ESI did not designate that
feature as a stream
5 Each of the culverts and dissipater pads have been shown
6 That stream is buffered The ditch has been adjusted to discharge on the
slight flat spot in the area To reach the end of the steeper portion it would
be a buffer impact
7 The Buffer Impacts at site B4 have been revised to include the hammerhead
end bents for the bridge and boardwalk
To fully address these comments we have revised some of the information
previously submitted Attached to this letter are revised Buffer Impact drawings
revised Wetland Impact drawings a revised PCN and revised construction
drawings We have provided 2 copies of all maps and 5 copies of the PCN All
other elements of the original submittal are still appropriate

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Site conditions are currently floodplain with forest and some utility easements for power and sewer lines. In the vicinity
of the project land use is predominantly residential. The City of Raleigh has acquired land and easements the length of
the corridor.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
37.23 AC (multiple parcels)
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
6,743 LF of Perennial Streams, 269 LF of Intermittent Streams (multiple parcels)
The length of the project is approximately 3.3 miles.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project involves existing natural surface utility access roads and construction of new 10' wide asphalt paved trail. The
existing access roads are typically 10 -feet wide and account for approximately 3+ miles, mostly between I -440 and New Hope
Road. Boardwalk is used to prevent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and avoid jurisdictional stream impacts. There is one
bridge that crosses Walnut Creek,
The City of Raleigh is administering the project and will oversee the construction.
The contractor selected for the project will determine the equipment used on the project. However, trail contractors generally
use small paving machines and earth moving equipment which have lower impacts to the project area than traditional
highway construction equipment. Multiple construction entrances have been identified to minimize trip distances of equipment.
Nationwide Permit 23 General Conditions will be included in construction documents to direct contractor operations in and
around wetlands. Boardwalk has been designed and will be constructed top down. This construction method reduces both
permanent and temporary impacts to wetlands.

3i. Comments:
Temporary stream impacts associated with temporary access issues include installation of temporary pipe for
construction equipment crossing. The contractor will be instructed to follow NW14 procedures for temporary
structures:
"This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work necessary to construct the
linear transportation project. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal
downstream flows and minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable, when temporary
structures, work, and discharges, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction
activities, access fills, or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of
materials, and be placed in a manner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows.
Temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre -
construction elevations. The areas affected by temporary fills must be revegetated, as
appropriate. "
USACE Corps representatives have also directed the City that a woven separator fabric be
used beneath any and all temporary fill. The purpose being to aid in the removal of
temporary fill and ensure the area is returned to pre - construction elevations and conditions.
Winning bidders is to coordinate all temporary structures with the owner/ construction

6i. Comments:
While Greenway Trails are an allowable use within buffer zones, every effort has been made to reduce the
encroachment into buffer zones. Per a meeting on December 8, 2010 with Annette Lucas of DWQ; the trail and
culverts are designed to only allow flow for which is naturally conveyed through existing draws in the land. Also, all
concentrated flows created by the trail are diffused with a level spreader prior to entering the Neuse River Riparian
Buffer.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Corridor Realignment - The horizontal alignment has been adjusted to avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands, streams
and buffers as much as possible. Where these resources can be avoided they have been.
Page 8 of 14
PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009

Stream Crossing Location — At each stream crossing a detail analysis was performed to identify the best crossing
spot. This includes crossing at the most narrow point, crossing perpendicular to the stream and crossing away from
parallel streams.
Boardwalk over Wetlands — The City of Raleigh has a policy of using boardwalk to cross all jurisdictional wetlands
throughout their greenway network. While this is a costly policy from both a construction and maintenance perspective
the City is committed to preserving wetland function.
Minimizing Grading - The trail itself matches existing grade to minimize the amount of fill and reducing the overall
footprint of the project and thus the impacts to jurisdictional waters.
Buried Dissipater Pads — NCDOT requires dissipater pads at the outfall of all pipes to dissipate velocity. All dissipater
pads on this project will be buried to the existing stream bed elevation to allow for aquatic life passage.
Reduced Typical Section — The City of Raleigh originally desired 3' shoulders throughout the project. These wider
shoulders would aid in maintenance and reduce problems associated with root incursion damage to pavement.
Shoulders were reduced to 2', the AASHTO minimum standard, to reduce the overall footprint of the project and
impacts.
Minimize Clearing — A large percentage of the trail will be located within a cleared sewer easement. The location of the
trail within this cleared and maintained easement reduces the need for additional clearing in sensitive riparian areas.
Culvert Inverts - All designed culverts are increased in size to allow proper burial of the inverts of the pipe to ensure
passage of aquatic life. Depending on the size of the pipe it is buried 6" or 20% of the pipe diameter.
Stormwater Treatment - All ditches along the trail outlet into wetlands. The wetlands function as a natural treatment
device.
Erosion Control - Silt Fence has been applied along fill slopes and upstream of all wetlands and streams.
Combination Tree - Protection and Silt Fence is utilized to demarcate all Buffer Zones to maximize protection and
environmental awareness of the contractor during construction.

PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The contractor shall be responsible for minimizing the impacts through construction techniques. However, the bid
specification will call for hand clearing where possible, use of construction mats in sensitive areas, small paving
machines and generally low impact machines to be used on the project in sensitive areas. Multiple construction
entrances have been provided to minimize trip distances of heavy equipment. Nationwide 23 General Conditions will
be included in construction specifications.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
❑ Yes ® No
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?

3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank
3a. Name of Mitigation Bank: EarthMark Mitigation Services, LLC
3b. Credits Purchased (attach receipt and letter)
Type: Stream
Quantity: TBD
3c. Comments:
The City hopes that its considerable avoidance and minimization efforts and investment in the purchase of greenway
conservation easements will offset the impacts of this project. The relatively small amount of impacts (.03 acres of
permanent fill of wetlands, 0.11 temporary impacts to wetlands, and 60' LF of temporary impacts for streams) illustrates
how much effort went into avoidance and minimization. The City has also previously purchased 272.8 acres of
property for greenway and park conservation along the project corridor. The City is also in process of securing an
additional 31.7 acres of greenway conservation property necessary to build the project. If compensatory mitigation is
required the City of Raleigh has a standing contract with EarthMark Mitigation Services with stream and wetland credits
available in Neuse 01. Credits cost $320 per linear foot via this bank. Please contact Matt Fisher with any questions
regarding the availability of credits or the City's contract for purchasing credits
