The Agency Field Review Nvas held to visit the impact sites that had been discussed during the
Concurrence Point 4B meeting on April 11, 2012. The discussion for each site visited is summarized as
follov'-s:
SITE 257 (Sheet 62): The pond at the northern roundabout Nvill be drained. It Nvill be assumed there is a
stream channel Nvithin the pond Nvhich, once drained, Nvill be impacted by roadway construction. Once the
pond is drained, a stream determination will be performed to verify its presence /absence.
SITE 255 (Sheet 60): The inlet of the proposed pipe Nvill be placed in the jurisdicational stream and the
non jurisdictional stream Nvill be ditched to the inlet of the pipe.
SITE 254 (Sheet 58 -59): The original design of the culvert Nvould have tied to a relocated channel that
Nvould be cut into a steep hillside, and there Nvas concern about the ability to ever stabilize this channel.
The RCBC Nvill be lengthened and redesigned to have a bend placed in culvert in order to have a better
transition from the inlet to outlet channel further dovristream.
SITE 253 (Sheet 57): There Nvas concern about discharging untreated stormwater from the proposed
project directly in the Nvetland. The Nvetland area is going to be looked at to see if there are other possible
alternatives. The agencies requested an explanation as to whN- and when Bob White Circle Nvas changed
from a cul -de -sac to a relocated tie in Nvith Monroe -Ansonville Road.
SITE 216 (Sheet 52): The proposed pipe at —L- 893 +00 Nvill be buried 1.0. The Nvetland at —L- 894 +00
LT Nvill not be a total take.
SITE 214 (Sheet 50): The proposed pipe at —L- 866 +50 Nvill not be buried.

SITE 212 (Sheet 49): The agencies determined that it Nvas a decision to be made by NCDOT / NCTA
Nvhether draining the pond at —L- 849 +00 RT Nvould be necessary. Thev Nvere fine Nvith leaving it as is or
draining it.
SITES 210, 211 (Sheet 48): The area has a high concentration of jurisdictional streams. Given the
nature of the streams in quadrant D and the fact that all Nvill be total takes inside the roadway- footprint, it
Nvas decided that the current pipe layout Nvas sufficient. The streams and Nvetlands in / around quadrant A
as shoN -,n in the digital file provided to the Design -Build Team do not match Nvhat is currently shov'n in
the permit produced by PBS &J 2010 nor Nvhat Nvas seen on a cursory look in the field. It was decided that
NCTA Nvould be contacted to provide the digital jurisdictional file of the streams and Nvetlands to the D -B
Team..
SITE 219 (Sheet 47): This site Nvas not visited, however it Nvas determined that a spring box Nvould be
placed at the jurisdictional stream at —L- 805 +00 LT Nvith a note that final determination Nvould be made
in the field during construction as to the necessity of the structure.
Sheet 43: This area Nvas not visited, however it Nvas noted by Michael Wood that the pond just north of
quandrant B has been drained and is now a Nvetland that appears to have Nvhat may be considered a
jurisdictional stream. Catena Nvill conduct a field assessment on this feature and provide the findings
during the 4C meeting.
ITE 203 (Sheet 40 -41): The RCBC Nvill not need baffles. It Nvill be skeNved at a slightly greater angle to
accommodate environmental concerns.
