4. Proposed Activity
Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used:*
This proposed project will daylight a closed pipe section at the outfall of the South
Elm Street drainage system flowing into
the Tar River. The closed pipe section will be replaced with an open storm water
channel that will incorporate natural design techniques. It will be located next to an
existing greenway trail, promoting environmental educational opportunities. This
restoration will also treat runoff from a highly urbanized watershed that does not
have any water quality treatment opportunities. The water quality of the contributing
drainage area will be improved with approximately 50% reduction in sediment
loading and 35% reduction in nitrogen loading for the runoff to the Tar River. The
storm water channel will connect and drain to the Tar River. In order to construct it,
an approximately 70'x45' or 3,150 sq ft area of Zone 1 of the Tar River riparian
buffer wiIl be cleared.

Comments:
This proposed project will daylight a closed pipe section at the outfall of the South
Elm Street drainage system flowing into
the Tar River. The closed pipe section will be replaced with an open storm water
channel that will incorporate natural design techniques. It will be located next to an
existing greenway trail, promoting environmental educational opportunities. This
restoration will also treat runoff from a highly urbanized watershed that does not
have any water quality treatment opportunities. The water quality of the contributing
drainage area will be improved with approximately 50% reduction in sediment
loading and 35% reduction in nitrogen loading for the runoff to the Tar River. The
storm water channel will connect and drain to the Tar River. In order to construct it,
an approximately 70'x45' or 3,150 sq ft area of Zone 1 of the Tar River riparian
buffer will be cleared.
Even though buffer will be cleared, improvements to storm water runoff are
anticipated and should mitigate impacts.
The new stormwater conveyance would be allowable upon authorization as defined
in section 9-vi of the Tar -Pam Buffer regulation stating:
Realignment of existing drainage conveyances retaining or improving the design
dimensions provided that the size of the drainage area and the percent built -upon
area within the drainage area remain the same.
No mitigation payment is proposed as this activity is allowable upon authorization.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
.................................................................................................................................................................................
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project.*

Impacts to the buffer were minimized to maximum extant possible, to the area
immediately surrounding the proposed stormwater channel.
This proposed project will daylight a closed pipe section at the outfall of the South
Elm Street drainage system flowing into
the Tar River. The closed pipe section will be replaced with an open storm water
channel that will incorporate natural design techniques. It will be located next to an
existing greenway trail, promoting environmental educational opportunities. This
restoration will also treat runoff from a highly urbanized watershed that does not
have any water quality treatment opportunities. The water quality of the contributing
drainage area will be improved with approximately 50% reduction in sediment
loading and 35% reduction in nitrogen loading for the runoff to the Tar River. The
storm water channel will connect and drain to the Tar River. In order to construct it,
an approximately 70'x45' or 3,150 sq ft area of Zone 1 of the Tar River riparian
buffer will be cleared.
Even though buffer will be cleared, improvements to storm water runoff are
anticipated and should mitigate impacts.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.*
The channel will be constructed with natural design techniques and an approved
erosion and sediment control plan will be implemented. All areas impacted
temporarily for construction purposes will be restored to original grade.
E. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. What type of SCM are you providing?*
✓ Level Spreader
17 Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r- Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
r- Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the
buffer
17 Other SCM that removed minimum of 30% nitrogen
1b. Describe how diffuse flow will be maintained:*
This proposed project will daylight a closed pipe section at the outfall of the South
Elm Street drainage system flowing into
the Tar River. The closed pipe section will be replaced with an open storm water
channel that will incorporate natural design techniques. It will be located next to an
existing greenway trail, promoting environmental educational opportunities. This
restoration will also treat runoff from a highly urbanized watershed that does not
have any water quality treatment opportunities. The water quality of the contributing
drainage area will be improved with approximately 50% reduction in sediment
