3 Project Description
3a Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at time of this application
The 4 000 foot long trail corridor is located southeast of 185 exit 191 between Butner and Creedmoor in southern Granville
County It extends from East Lyon Station Rd southeastward following a powerlme right of way for 2 170 feet then turns
northeastward following the east edge of Pond Drive for 1 830 feet to its intersection with NC 56 The adjacent area north
of the proposed trail contains commercial industrial and institutional development An apartment complex and a mobile
home community are located southeast of Pond Drive and additional residential development is located northeast of NC
56 The adjacent land southwest of the powerline is forested and industrial land A small unnamed stream flows
southeastward into Ledge Creek roughly parallel to the powerlme segment of the project
3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
The stream segment near the middle of the project has adjacent marsh and scrub /sapling wetlands mostly in the powerlme
right of way RJG &A Environmental Consultants delineated portions of two wetlands (CA and CB) within 50 feet of the
project corridor The area of wetland CA delineated is approximately 0 21 acre and the area of wetland CB delineated is
approximately 0 20 acre The Granville County Soil Survey shows Chewacla loam mapped along the stream near these
wetlands The wetlands may extend beyond the limits of RJG &A s field delineation (beyond the project construction
impact area)
3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property
An unnamed tributary of Ledge Creek parallels the powerlme and is within 50 feet of the project construction corridor for
approximately 900 feet between project stations 15 +00 to 22 +00 and stations 28 +50 to 30 +50 This stream is depicted on
both the USGS Quad (Stem NC) and the Granville County Soil Survey The trail will cross this stream (S 1) near station
20 +60 An unmapped intermittent stream (S2) flows southward into this main stream with a trail crossing near station
30 +40 The Soil Survey also depicts a smaller tributary crossing the corridor near station 45 +00 along Pond Drive but this
channel was piped and buried when Pond Drive was built and no longer exists as an open channel in the project corridor
3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The project will provide a safer walking and biking route between the residential areas to the south and east and the
commercial and institutional destinations to the north and west This new trail combined with existing trails and sidewalks
is expected to decrease the number of short automobile trips
3e Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used
The project includes construction of approximately 4 000 feet of new 10 foot wide greenway trail Beginning at East Lyon
Station Rd the proposed trail extends southeastward for 2 170 feet mostly within a Progress Energy transmission line easement
then turns northeastward and follows the edge of an existing street (Pond Drive) for 1 830 feet Clearing construction and
restoration methods vary based upon the location of greenway trail as described below
Boardwalk trail (10 ft wide) will be installed along three trail segments totaling 389 feet at stream wetland and zone 1 buffer
crossings The majority of the project will be asphalt paved trail with a 10 ft wide paved surface plus a 2 ft crushed stone
shoulder on each side Side slopes will be 3H IV or flatter as recommended by DWQ
Nearly all of the project corridor is non forested either within the mowed powerlme easement or along the mowed roadside
One segment 210 ft long (station 18 +50 to 20 +60) extends into the upland forest adjacent to the powerlme easement in order to
minimize wetland and zone 1 buffer impacts The only forested land where mechanical clearing is necessary is approximately
0 21 acre of upland pine/hardwood forest in this area The trail alignment and construction access have been selected to avoid
and minimize impact to trees and wetlands and to provide as much separation as possible from streams and riparian buffers
The construction corridor will be generally 25 feet wide to allow 10 feet for the trail plus 15 feet for temporary equipment
access Tree protection fencing will be installed prior to clearing to protect trees and other vegetation not scheduled for removal
Because of the narrow construction corridor trees will be cut down first and then the stumps removed where necessary to install
the asphalt surface greenway Where boardwalk is installed trees will be cut at ground level and stumps left in the ground All
cleared material will be removed from site and no on site burning will be permitted
Page 3 of 3
PCN Form — Version 1 3 Dec 2008

3e Describe the overall project in detail (continued)
Crossing of streams with clearing equipment is not planned However the contractor will be required to cross the streams to
pave the greenway so bridgemats are proposed at the two stream crossings Silt fence or combination silt fence /tree protection
fence will be placed between the work area and the adjacent stream or wetland area to keep sediment and equipment out of the
stream and wetland area To protect wetland soils the contractor will also use timber mats when crossing wetlands
Following corridor clearing and staking for greenway construction the contractor will begin rough grading and building
boardwalk where specified While the plans do not anticipate such underground utilities will be reinforced to support
additional loads where needed Small bull dozers hydraulic excavators front end loaders dump trucks and sheep s foot type
equipment will be used In installing the boardwalk it is anticipated the contractor will employ a small farm tractor with an
auger connected to its power takeoff The auger will excavate a three foot diameter hole (7 1 sq ft) for each boardwalk footing
where sonotube and reinforcing steel will be installed and then concrete poured to support the post All excavated material
will be removed from the wetland area for disposal in uplands
Crushed stone will be delivered to the site by dump trucks After partially spreading the stone during dumping a motor grader
will further spread the stone along the proposed asphalt surface segments Vibratory compactors will compact the stone base
to the required compaction then paving equipment will place the asphalt Once the surface is paved the 2 feet wide shoulders
and slopes will be dressed and seeded Side slopes will be 3H IV or flatter as recommended by DWQ
At stream and wetland crossings silt fence will be installed between the work area and the stream Soil will be excavated for
boardwalk foundations and removed from the wetland area and the concrete foundations poured The remaining boardwalk
construction will require no further ground disturbance For the timber boardwalk after the foundations are installed the
contractor will cut timber posts to the design elevation and install support girders support beams decking and handrail system
The contractor will collect all construction debris daily for disposal All erosion and sedimentation control measures will be
regularly monitored at least weekly immediately before a forecasted storm event and immediately after a storm event
exceeding '/2 inch of rainfall within a 24 hour period Remediation measures will be employed to keep the erosion and
sedimentation control measures performing as designed
Restoration of the disturbed area will commence near the end of construction Following fine grading all disturbed areas not
covered with new asphalt or boardwalk will be stabilized by seeding and mulching Erosion and sedimentation control
measures will remain in working order until disturbed areas have been stabilized with new grass No fescue or other non
native perennials will be seeded in wetland areas Town of Butner staff will maintain the greenways and take measures to
mitigate any local erosion problems that may occur The 2 feet wide greenway shoulder will be mowed to preclude trees
and other large vegetation In the forested area Just west of the stream crossing the remainder of the temporary construction
corridor beyond the trail shoulders will be left to regenerate in natural forest With the exception of periodic maintenance
vehicles this greenway will not carry motor vehicle traffic Thus the greenway should not contribute to road runoff
pollutants except for the minor hydrocarbons from the asphalt itself Boardwalk at the single stream and wetland crossing
will minimize impacts to flow aquatic life passage soil compaction and vegetation

Section D Impact Justification and Mitigation
1 Avoidance and Minimization
1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The selected alignment is almost entirely within mowed rights of way (utility lines and roadsides) The one location where forest
clearing required is necessary to minimize stream wetland and zone 1 buffer impacts along the segment where the stream and
wetland runs parallel under the powerlme The stream wetland and zone 1 buffer crossings will use boardwalk rather than asphalt
to minimize fill and to avoid adding new impervious surface in these sensitive areas
1 b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Erosion and sediment controls and tree protection fencing will be installed at the beginning of project construction Construction
access will be from existing roads at both ends of the project and by use of bridgemats to cross the two streams Concrete will be
poured using sonotubes inserted in augered holes thus preventing the uncured concrete from releasing toxic substances into
adjacent waters A non fescue seed mix will be used for stabilizing disturbed wetland areas following construction

4 Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement)
4a Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from
the proposed project or available capacity of the subject facility
This project will not generate sanitary wastewater
5 Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or
❑ Yes ® No
habitat?
5b Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
® Yes ❑ No
impacts
® Raleigh
5c If yes indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted
❑ Asheville
5d What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Cntical
Habitat?
US FWS and NC NHP websrtes list three federally endangered species in Granville County Dwarf Wedgemussel Harperella and
Smooth Coneflower The Ledge Creek tributary in the project area is apparently too small to provide suitable habitat for Dwarf
Wedgemussel and there is no record of this mussel in Ledge Creek or other Falls Lake (Meuse basin) tributaries in Granville
Durham or Wake counties The stream in the project area is also apparently too small to provide suitable habitat for Harperella
which occurs on rocky islands or gravel bars in larger streams and rivers including the Tar River near Oxford Based on lack of
suitable habitat and lack of any nearby records neither of these stream dwelling species will be affected by the project
Smooth Coneflower occurs in glades or prairie like natural communities with an open or thinly wooded canopy and can also occur
along scrubby road embankments and powerlme rights of way There are several known occurrences of Smooth Coneflower in the
Butner Creedmoor vicinity mamly on soils mapped as Enon Iredell and Picture soil series RJG &A biologist Christopher Hopper
searched the project corridor (especially the powerlme) for Smooth Coneflower during September 2010 when this plant should be
readily identifiable and did not find any specimen Soils in the project corridor are mostly mapped as Creedmoor and Chewacla
series which are not soils likely to support Smooth Coneflower Based on our field survey and the lack of mapped suitable soils we
conclude the project will not affect Smooth Coneflower
6 Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
Page 10 of 10
PCN Form — Version 1 3 Dec 2008

6a Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
❑ Yes ® No
6b What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
NC DMF and NC WRC Ledge Creek and its tributaries are not designated essential fish habitat
7 Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a Will this project occur in or near an area that the state federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e g National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
RJG &A submitted a scopmg letter and project map to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) which conducted a review
of the project and determmed that no known historic resources would be affected by the project and did not recommend any
further cultural resources survey work SHPO s response letter (11 Dec 2011) is attached
8 Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a Will this project occur in a FEMA designated 100 year floodplain?
❑ Yes ® No
8b If yes explain how project meets FEMA requirements
8c What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?
NC Floodplam Mapping Information System Granville County map panel 0886 The upper limit of the FEMA mapped floodplain
on Ledge Creek is approximately 6 000 feet downstream of the project area

Responses to DWQ Request for More Information (20 April 2012)
1) Section C 3 Removal of vegetation on stream banks does not constitute an impact to a stream channel
However, the plans depict what appears to be a pipe in the stream Please revise /resubmit this page of the
PCN and plans to reflect more accurate information
Response A section near the middle of the proposed trail connecting the powerline segment to the Pond Drive
segment was realigned to avoid the Altec Industries property where the County could not obtain an agreement from
the landowner The current revised alignment has two stream crossings S1 (perennial buffered stream) near station
20 +60 and S2 (intermittent unmapped non buffered stream) near station 30 +40 The proposed temporary pipe
crossings have been removed from the plans and temporary bridge mats will be used instead impacting 10 feet of
channel at each of the two crossings The permanent trail at both stream crossings will be boardwalk with footings
anchored beyond top of bank Text in PCN Sections B 3 c B 3 e and C 3 a to C 3 1 and WSP Sells plans have
been revised accordingly
2) A stream is depicted on the soil survey close to NC 56 The PCN and plans do not account for buffer
impacts at this location Has DWQ conducted a buffer determination for this stream?
Response Martin Richmond of DWQ and Eric Alsmeyer of ACE examined this stream in 2011 while looking for a
source of sediment in the streams We sent them an email on April 25 inquiring whether they evaluated this sod
mapped stream emerging from the pipe under Pond Drive for Neuse Buffer applicability As of April 30 we have not
gotten a response but we have revised the PCN assuming that this feature is a buffered stream The culvert outlet is
more than 30 feet beyond the proposed trail and the impact (600 sq ft of pavement) will be entirely in buffer zone 2
within the mowed road shoulder of Pond Drive
3) The plans near Buffer impact B3 refer to 2 18 HDPE pipes for stream crossing but the PCN does not
indicate an impact Please explain the discrepancy and revise /resubmit more accurate and consistent
information
Response The plan to use temporary pipes at stream crossings has been revised to use temporary bndgemats
instead The bndgemat impact length will be 10 feet at each stream crossing See also response #1 above
4) The buffer impacts shown on Sheet C2 0 do not match the impacts on the PCN application or the inset
impact sheets Please revise /resubmit more accurate and consistent information
Response The buffer impacts in the table on Sheet C2 0 have been corrected to match those in the PCN text
(Section C 6) and inset maps for buffer impact areas B1 B2 and B3 Buffer impact B4 is not in this table on Sheet
C2 0 but is in the PCN text and on a new additional inset figure
5) Please provide engineered plans with all ditches outlets to the buffer and pipes proposed along the trail
including contour lines
Response WSP Sells has revised the plan sheets accordingly No pipes or concentrated flow is proposed

PCN Form — Version 1 3 Dec 2008

6) Please provide plans at 1 = 50 with details showing temporary vs permanent buffer and wetland
impacts Explain how you plan to restore buffers in temporarily impacted areas
Response WSP Sells has revised the plan sheets accordingly The buffers impacted will be replanted with trees
and shrubs and all other areas will be seeded with native grasses
Feel free to contract Debbi Ferm if you need further information on project design, construction and
restoration methods or Gerald Pottern if you need further information on stream wetland and buffer
characteristics
