On behalf of Orange County, please find enclosed five (5) copies of a revised Preconstruction
Notification Form with attachments, five (5) sets of revised plans (2 full size and 3 half size), Maps 1 and
2, and a check for the appropriate fee for the above referenced project. We are submitting these items
requesting a modification of an approved 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate.
The modification is being requested because additional wetlands were identified throughout the project
area and an additional maintenance access width is needed (15' instead of 10') in riparian buffers to
accommodate maintenance vehicles. Proposed total impacts are listed in the PCN form and attachments.
A significant portion of the project has been redesigned to avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands. All
proposed wetland, stream, and buffer impacts have been noted on the revised plans. In addition, the
impact tables attached to the PCN form include sheet references and lat. / long. coordinates for each
proposed impact. Other changes to the project include the deletion of water line W -3 and shortening the
proposed line S -2. These lines were deleted for budgetary reasons and will not affect the projects ability
to provide the intended service for the foreseeable future.
All proposed wetland impacts will be the result of clearing and excavation for the water and sewer main
installation. All excavation in wetlands will be backfilled to existing grade and no wetlands will be lost as
a result of the project. Permanent impacts will result from conversion from forested to herbaceous
wetland.
On behalf of Orange County, we appreciate you review and assistance with this project. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if you need additional information.
Sincerely, D]���

Buckhorn- Mebane EDD Phase 2
Water and Sewer Improvements
Avoidance and Minimization for Streams, Wetlands, and Riparian Buffers
General Desian Measures
The proposed water and sewer mains were aligned to limit stream crossings and impacts to protected
riparian buffers. After the requested wetland delineation was completed much of the project was
redesigned to avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands and wetland buffers. Impacts that remain were
required by topography and property constraints. Stream crossings were limited, and every effort was
made to make perpendicular stream crossings. Where this was not possible the permanent easement is
wide enough to allow the permanent cleared maintenance corridor to cross the riparian buffer near 75
degrees. (Stream Impact S4). In addition, impacts are minimized by using directional and horizontal
bores at stream crossings, and minimizing limits of disturbance in wetlands and riparian buffers during
construction. The project does not include the loss of any wetlands. Necessary excavation in wetlands
will be backfilled with native soil to pre- existing grade contours. Gravity sewer pipe in wetlands or
wetland buffer will be pressure rated pipe tested to water main standards, manholes will have internal
and external gaskets at joints, a waterproof interior coating, and watertight ring and cover. Anti -seep
collars will be placed on gravity sewer pipelines at the downstream limits of all wetlands and every 150'
within wetlands.
Construction Techniques
Construction impacts are minimized by using bridge mats at stream crossings, minimizing clearing limits
within wetlands and buffers, and avoiding open trenching in streams. Permanent maintenance access• is
provided by rip rap fords to provide stability to the stream channel while not obstructing flow or
changing elevations. In addition, an erosion control plan approved by NCDENR Division of Land
Resources will be implemented to prevent off -site sediment transfer and sedimentation of surface
waters.
Specific details for impacts to wetlands are described below.
Wetlands
W1: The wetland is located in the existing road right of way and will not be permanently impacted.
W2: This wetland is also located along road right of way and has been impacted previously.
Temporary impacts are likely to occur during the installation of the waterline and bore under the
roadway. The project will not cause permanent impacts to this wetland.
W3: This wetland is located along the controlled access road right of way for 140/85. As such, the
line will need to be installed outside the existing right -of -way to allow for maintenance access.
Permanent impacts will consist of conversion from forested to herbaceous wetlands.
W4: This wetland is also located along the controlled access right of way for 140/85 and is adjacent
to intermittent streams. The water main in this area will be installed by directional bore to minimize
stream impacts.
W5: The locations of the water and sewer mains in this area are dictated by topography. The sewer
main needs to be in this low area in order to make future service extensions to areas north of 1
40/85 possible. Water and sewer mains were kept together to avoid impacts from multiple
maintenance corridors.
W6 and W7: The sewer main needs to be installed in this corridor due to topography and field
constraints. The line cannot be moved closer to the existing pond without risking damage to the
pond, and rerouting the line around the pond would increase the depth of the line approximately 6
— 8 feet, require the use of ductile iron pipe due to depth, and add approximately 260 If of sewer
main and two manholes. The combined cost of the material change, additional excavation due to
depth, and additional length would increase installation cost by approximately $53,000. As such, the
alternative alignment was not considered to be feasible.
W8 and W9: Impact to this section of wetland is unavoidable due to topography, service area
requirements, and the extent of the existing wetlands. Other alignment options were considered.
However, wetland impacts would not be eliminated and the alternate alignment would add
approximately 500 If of pipe and three manholes to this section of gravity sewer. Much of the
section would need to be installed 6 — 8 feet deeper than the proposed alignment, which would
require ductile iron pipe. The total estimated additional cost of the alternate alignment is $52,700.
As such, the alternative alignment was not considered to be feasible.
W10: This wetland is not currently forested. After construction of the proposed project the wetland
will return to its natural state. A future residential development in this area is planned. Any impacts
associated with this development will be permitted at a later date by others. Cumulative impacts of
this future project will be minimized by existing County ordinances.
W11: Impacts to this wetland were necessary to avoid / minimize impacts to an existing spring
located on the south west border of the wetland. The concern is that excavation and or blasting for
rock removal would disrupt the existing spring.
W12: This wetland is located adjacent to an existing stream that must be crossed and cannot be
avoided.
W12a: This wetland is located adjacent to an existing stream and may be temporarily impacted by
clearing and excavation during construction. After construction is complete the wetland will return
to its natural state. As such, the project will not cause permanent impacts.
W13: This wetland is unavoidable due to topography. The crossing is located at the narrow point of
the wetland.
W14: This wetland is located adjacent to road right -of -way and will be temporarily impacted by
construction. Since the line will be inside the cleared right of way there will be no permanent
impacts.
