RE: Water Quality Certification Request
Hydrology Monitoring and Restoration DEC 7 201
Dismal Swamp State Park (Camden County)
Dear Mrs. Higgins:
Enclosed are five copies of a completed application submittal package requesting a Water Quality Certification
(No. 3883) which corresponds to US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permits 5 & 6. This
application package consists of the following documentation: a completed PCN form, two maps, email
correspondence, and two Wetland Determination Data Forms. Please also find the enclosed journal transfer
documentation indicating that payment of the $240 application fee has been transferred from the account of the
Division of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to the Division of Water Quality.
This project will involve three primary components: 1.) The installation of two groundwater monitoring stations
and one surface water monitoring station; 2.) Drilling of up to 12 three -inch diameter soil cores ranging from 30 -60
feet to obtain a detailed analysis of subsurface hydro - geological conditions. Up to 20 groundwater monitoring wells
will be installed at each core site (1 -2 per core); and 3.) Vegetation sampling analysis consisting of establishing
10x10 meter vegetation plots adjacent to the groundwater monitoring sites to establish a baseline vegetative
characterization. Anticipated impacts to jurisdictional waters will be solely from the installation of surface and
groundwater monitoring stations.
DPR is concurrently submitting one copy of this permit application to the USACE Washington Field Office to
request a General Permit Verification per an onsite meeting with Roberto Scheller (DWQ- WaRO), Tracey Wheeler
(USACE -WaFO) and John Cece (DCM -ECO) on October 24, 2012.

Project Description
3a.
Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The primary portion of the project area consists of approximately 2,130 acre portion of forested wetlands bounded by a
network of drainage ditches in the northern portion of Dismal Swamp State Park. One additional monitoring site will be
located within a forested area near the intersection of Cross Canal with Canal Road and the other located within a swamp
forest located along the boardwalk west of the Park's Visitor Center.
General land use in the vicinity of the project is primarily forested land managed by Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife
Refuge to the north, west, and south of the Park. Agricultural areas comprise the majority of adjacent lands along the
eastern boundary of the Park.
3b.
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
623 acres per NWI wetland G1S mapping.
3c.
List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
178,145 feet per USGS GIS mapping.
3d.
Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of this project is to monitor and assess hydrologic and subsurface conditions within priority restoration areas
identified within the Park as part of an adaptive management process.
3e.
Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used
This project will involve three primary components: 1.) The installation of two groundwater monitoring stations and one
surface water monitoring station, 2 ) Drilling of up to twelve 3" (inch) diameter soil cores ranging from 30 -60' (feet) to
obtain a detailed analysis of subsurface hydro - geological conditions. Up to 20 groundwater monitoring wells will be
installed at each core site (1 -2 per core); and 3.) Vegetation sampling analysis consisting of establishing 10x10 meter
vegetation plots adjacent to the groundwater monitoring sites to establish a baseline vegetative characterization.
Groundwater monitoring stations will consist primarily of 10' sections of 2 "- diameter PVC, a 5" long electronic datalogger,
stainless steel cabling, and miscellaneous support materials. A soil auger will be used to create a several -foot long, 3"
diameter hole. Fine filter sand will be used as a natural filter pack to fill void spaces around the well screening along the
PVC pipe. Bentonite pellets will be placed along the void space at the top portion of the well to seal this area from
surface water infiltration.
The surface water monitoring station will consist primarily of 10' sections of 2 "- diameter PVC, a 5" long datalogger,
stainless steel cabling, 10' sections of 2x4 lumber, and miscellaneous support materials. A hammer may be used to drive
the PVC into the canal bottom.
Sub - surface analysis will involve the extraction of 2 -3" diameter soil cores ranging from 20 -60' in depth using a Geoprobe
drilling rig. Groundwater monitoring stations will be established once the soil cores have been extracted by installing one
or two 1 -2" diameter PVC monitoring wells in the core hole. Fine filter sand will be used as a natural filter pack to fill void
spaces around the well screening along the PVC pipe. The station will consist primarily of the PVC well, an electronic
datalogger, stainless steel cabling, and miscellaneous support materials. The wells will have a 34" locking steel cover
embedded in the earth about 1', along with a 1'x1' concrete pad around the steel cover that will be flush with the ground.
The length and number of PVC wells will be decided based on soil core analysis and the best estimate of water table
ranges. Sod core /groundwater monitoring stations will be installed along bermed roadways and outside of jurisdictional
wetlands.

Amin:
Was plowing through a -mails and came across your e-mail and cannot recall if I responded to it or
not? I thinking not.
Well after reviewing the attachments all I need is 5 filled out PCN form with contact names, copies
of the enclosed attachments and maps, and a for check $240.00 made out to NCDENR. Please sent
the 5 copies and payment to the Raleigh office. This is just installation of monitoring wells and I
don't for see any issues with your project from our side. If you have any questions please contact
me. Thank you.

JOHN /ROBERTO — Please advise regarding specific CAMA and Section 401 permitting requirements
our proposed project may be subject to per the attached a Project Narrative and scopes of work
provided by NCSU Biological & Agricultural Engineering Program, DWQ Aquifer Protection Section,
& CNU's Center For Wetland Conservation. We are planning to begin additional monitoring work
later this Fall. Below is recent correspondence between myself and Tracey Wheeler. This project is
being managed by the NC Division of Parks & Recreation and is separate from the ongoing South
Martha Washington Canal Project being managed by the USFWS.
Thank You,

TRACEY —Thank you for your flexibility, patience and willingness to provide us the specific guidance
we need to submit a complete permit application. I will contact DCM and DWQ to determine
potential CAMA and 401 permitting requirements. A couple of notes per your email below:
Item 1: We will gps the locations of all DWQ coring /well locations along with the two additional
monitoring wells we install and provide you the coordinates and a map. The locations of the
'Existing Gauges' depicted on the map I emailed you yesterday were already recorded with a
gps unit and I can provide those coordinates to you as part of our upcoming PCN.
Item 2: 1 will provide you with preliminary soils, hydrology, and vegetation information for our
proposed monitoring locations. As we discussed yesterday, I will not include data sheets unless
directed otherwise.
Item 3: 1 will contact DWQ to determine the specific impacts, where the material will be
deposited, and all the devises that may be installed.
Item 4: 1 will provide you a PCN for a NWP 5 or 6 with a project narrative which includes the
wells that we've already installed.
Thanks Again,
Amin

Amin,
Thanks for taking time to talk to me yesterday about the Dismal Swamp State Park
Hydrologic Monitoring and Restoration project. Our discussion was very beneficial to me

and helped clear up some misunderstandings on my part. The new map was especially
informative. There are many complicating factors involved with the overall plan to restore
hydrology to the Great Dismal Swamp and I ask that the Corps be included and involved
with the overall, large scale plans. But I do understand that this project is a small
component that will provide information necessary for future planning.
In order to move forward with this specific project, we will need some additional
information:
1) we need to have the sampling area specifically identified. You can identify blocks within
the park for permitting purposes, but I would like the actual points following installation.
2) preliminary soils, hydrology and vegetation information for the area where you will be
working. This will allow us to determine if we have jurisdiction in the sampling area. We will
complete a preliminary jurisdictional determination. There is a chance that we will over
estimate the jurisdictional areas, but we will be sure to include all impacts in any issued
permit.
3) specific impacts, including the number of wells and borings and where the material from
the core sampling will be deposited. Include all of the devices that you might install to
avoid having to ask for a modification.
4) a PCN application for a Nationwide permit 5 or 6, whichever is more appropriate. You
should include the project narrative with the application package and include the wells that
have already been installed, so we will have a record of them.
Thanks again for the call yesterday. Let me know if I forgot anything or if you have any
additional questions. Tracey

Amin,
The monitoring stations are negligible with respect to their impact on the flood waters and appear
immune to damage from inundation. A floodplain permit is not required for these monitoring
stations.
If you have any questions please let me know, thanks,

LATIF — Per the attached map and photos of a surface and groundwater monitoring station, will the
installation of our proposed gauges depicted on the attached map require floodplain permitting?
The PVC tubes are 2" in diameter and 10' in length. I downloaded GIS data from

SUBJECT: DISW Hydrology Monitoring & Restoration (Phase 1) - Request for Funds
Transfer for DWQ Water Quality Certification
Dismal Swamp State Park is in need of a DWQ Water Quality Certification (WQC) for impacts
to streams and wetlands associated with hydrology monitoring in the northern and central portion
of Dismal Swamp State Park. This project will involve three primary components: l.) The
installation of two groundwater monitoring stations and one surface water monitoring station; 2.)
Drilling of up to 12 three -inch diameter soil cores ranging from 30 -60 feet to obtain a detailed
analysis of subsurface hydro - geological conditions. Up to 20 groundwater monitoring wells will
