Sue, This email is in response to your request for additional information related to the River Hill Circle stream crossing
as it relates to avoidance and minimization. Below are our responses:
Having the River Hill Circle roadway loop around the Hospital is very important to managing the traffic around
the new Hospital. Without River Hill Circle looping through the site all outparcel traffic would have to circulate
the site via Wake Forest Baptist Way that runs in front of the Hospital; this would increase the possibility of a
pedestrian vs. vehicular accident. If River Hill Circle dead ended on each side of the stream, this would create a
great deal of confusion for the public on how to get either side of the creek to access the outparcels. It is our
opinion the single stream crossing is needed to provide the site development with a safe and practical road
network to serve the proposed outparcels and Medplex buildings.
2. The site design was performed in a way that minimizes the stream impacts. The Medplex buildings were laid out
around the stream located in the central part of the site. The site has approximately 4,348 linear feet of streams
and our proposed impacts are 200 linear feet.
3. The roadway crossing is utilizing extra tall headwalls to minimize the amount of stream impacts.
4. The side slopes of the roadway at the stream crossing were increased to their maximum slope as recommended
in the site geotechnical report to provide additional reduction in the stream impact.
Please advise if you need additional information. Thanks
