Hi Kevin,
The proposed project as illustrated on the updated SW-69 plan sheets, dated December 2020, is authorized under
Nationwide Permit 14 and would not require notification to the Corps.
You may have to coordinate with State agencies (Division of Water Resources) for a buffer authorization.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
April

April,
Thank you for quick response, in general the buffer impacts are as follow: Zone 1-779 S.F, Zone 2-685 S.F,
and No Build Zone-462 S.F. The permanent impacts include a proposed sidewalk, tubular fence, pedestrian
ramp, trench drain, riprap, guardrail, and proposed grading. To minimize land disturbance the sidewalk
width was narrowed to 4' wide in the section along the existing culvert with tie in slopes at 3:1 to 2:1. The
temporary impacts are related to erosion control which include the use of silt fences, silt fence outlets,
wattles, and inlet protection. The Limit of Disturbance line (LOD) shows the proposed boundary of the
proposed land disturbing activities.
There are no impacts proposed to the stream channel, I've included an updated sheet of University Drive,
the only section of the project impacting riparian buffers, with the channel adjusted to better illustrate
where the open channel enters a culvert with the existing headwall labeled. Let me know if this is the
information needed or if additional information is needed.
Thank you again

Hi Kevin ?
Could you please provide me with the estimated temporary and/or permanent impacts for the proposed projects?

April,
The City of Durham is working on a project that we need to verify the need and/or type for a 401/404
permit. The project we are working on involves construction of sidewalks in four locations throughout
Durham. Of these four locations, one project does cross stream buffers of an unnamed stream though part
of the stream that runs thru a culvert shown in sheets in the link provide below. NRCS soils maps are also
included for all four sections of sidewalk.
The photos were taken when the state was replacing an existing culvert at this time construction has
concluded, let me know if more current photos are needed. The photos attached are looking at the
downstream culvert, the rest of the stream is piped underneath existing structures, please see snapshot
below. The open channel upstream is on private property and will not be impacted by the proposed
sidewalk section.
Can you look over the files and either confirm that it is a non?reporting Nationwide Permit 14 for Linear
Transportation Project or let us know if we need to submit a different application related to the 401?404
permit process? Let me know if you have any issues with the attached/included information or if anything
else is needed from us.
401-404
