Amin, it sounds like a permit NN-111 be required for the stabilization .... if the fill NN-111 go belo-w the ordinary high -water mark
(generally it does for this type of N ork). We can complete it under a NWP 3, however since it is in Surry County it -will need a
PCN and coordination -with Dave McHenry at NCWRC (copied on this email). We can hurry a permit thru if timing is an issue
-just let Dave, Sue and I kno-w and We can -work -with you to keep an accident from occurring.

MONTE - Per the attached pictures and map, please advise regarding potential Section 404/401 permitting requirements. Could
this emergency- stabilization N ork be covered under a NWP 3, and -would your office require notification? The current remedial
scope of -work I -was given by the Park Superintendent is to: "temporarily- place compacted screenings and riprap on the banks
over the pipe for a distance of 30 feet. We -would probably- need DPR engineering to tell us ho-w much of the pipe needs
replacing. I think if -, e keep it here it needs to be cast iron from the exposed portion all the -way to the manhole -which -would be
around —28 feet total. The stream is 4 feet -wide for this same distance."

Subject: RE: uncovered se- er pipe in stream -need for permit?
All
Manhole 15 mystery has been solved. There is a partial clog that has backed up in one of the manhole lengths and is noN
bet- een Manholes further down. It must have blown out on the ground at 15 on its way do-wn. I notified DWQ and no report is
needed due to the amount of the spill, less than 1000 gallons and it didn't make it into a stream.
Manhole 12 (pipe in the stream)- I also notified DWQ and asked them -what -, e could do -with it. I sent them a pie.
There is about 22 feet of exposed pipe -where the stream bank has cared in. DWQ advised that -whatever fill -, e put in -would be
temporary at best, that once a stream has started to turn into the bank that this process accelerates. They also said -whatever pipe

is replaced needs to be cast iron anN- here in the floodplain. If -, e don't corer or armor the pipe then -water can continue to push
on the pipe potentially offsetting it from the manhole (this had occurred in the past and -was discovered during the JR Lynch
emergence repair in 2009.) I checked the manhole interior and other than seeing part of the large clog from manhole 15, once it
-was removed there -was no -water leaking in the manhole from an offset pipe, so for no-w everything is holding.
This is a small stream but after heap v rain is -well over this pipe. We NN -111 be OK until there is a heavy rain enough to corer the
pipe and erode the stream bank again. This stream gets the run off from the N and E side of the mountain. DWQ also said to be
careful applying fill and rip rap so as to not cause a dam effect around the manhole -which could make things -worse. This is also
the lo-west portion of the se- er line and -, e -will be limited to ,N -hat , e can do here long term -without changing the elevation of
significant distances of line and manholes.
The corp of engineers has the final say as to what if any permit -, e need, DWQ said N e are likely to need no permit if N e simply
replace the exposed pipe ,with a cast iron pipe, but since it is in the stream, -, e -would have to do at least some temporary
engineering to keep it stable and that would likely require a permit since it is within the stream banks. They have also offered to
meet us on site and offer technical assistance.
Amin is going to contact the Corp and see -what they say given the situation about permitting.
*Amin- for permit purposes , e , ould like to temporarily place compacted screenings and riprap on the banks over the pipe for
a distance of 30 feet.
We -would probably need DPR engineering to tell us ho-w much of the pipe needs replacing. I think if -, e keep it here it needs to
be cast iron from the exposed portion all the -way to the manhole -which -would be around —28 feet total. The stream is 4 feet
