Hi Crystal, I have received responses to your questions and have listed their answers below in red. - will the construction corridor be maintained at 40' within the entire project corridor, or at least in wetland and stream impact areas, or was the revision only at stream impact locations? The construction corridor will not be maintained at 40' along the entire project. Where the proposed alignment crosses wetlands and streams we will add notes to address the need to limit the construction corridor to 40' at those select locations. - If stream impacts have been revised then there should be revised plans that reflect those changes. Please provide the revised plans. They should have the revised plans by Monday - Krysta's previous request for additional information she requested clarification on the project purpose. You indicated the following: "The purpose of this project is to increase sewer capacity to this area. The existing sewer line will be left in place and remain active and the new sewer line will be installed parallel to the existing line." The PCN provides the 2 following information regarding the purpose: "The Lower Coddle Creek Interceptor project involves installing a new sewer line running along Coddle Creek. The proposed sewer line will be placed next to an existing deteriorating sewer line that will be abandoned. This project will provide for future wastewater needs in Cabarrus County." This information is contradictory. Can you please clarify if the old line will be abandon or if it will remain active They new sewer line will run parallel to the existing sewer, and the existing one will remain in place and active. -Assuming that the most recent information is correct and that the line is to increase capacity; what is the need for the increase in capacity? Is the line being constructed to service existing residential development or is it being built to service new development that is coming to the area? The Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) needs to install a parallel large diameter sanitary sewer main in order to provide additional capacity for the existing sanitary sewer main. Anticipated industrial development at the old Philip Morris plant and population growth within Cabarrus County are the drivers for this project -And lastly, typically with utility line projects, there should be information identifying what each end of the line is tying in to in order to establish a single and complete project and better understand the purpose. As such, please provide some information on the end and beginning points of the sewer line and why this line is a single and complete project in itself. At the downstream end of the project, reconfiguration of the existing sewer is required to accommodate the connection of the proposed 48-inch sewer. The connection points, as shown on sheet SS-2 and SS-3, tie into two existing manholes which combine sewer flow at a downstream 60-inch main. Additionally, the two existing manholes will need to be removed and replaced within the same position due to internal corrosion and the expense associated with coring into the manhole wall to make the new pipe connections. The upstream connection point will require the installation of a diversion structure (labeled #105 on plan sheet SS-31) over top of the existing 30-inch sanitary sewer main. The diversion structure will allow WSACC to set a weir elevation in which sanitary sewer flow will be diverted from the existing 30-inch main into the proposed 36-inch main. This will provide capacity relief to the existing 30-inch main. As part of the installation of the diversion structure, the 30-inch main extending from the diversion structure to the existing manhole 010288 upstream will be removed and replaced with a 36-inch diameter pipe in order to match the existing sewer main size upstream of manhole 010288 Let me know if you need anything else.

In regards to the Schweinitz's sunflower I wanted to see if you wanted us to coordinate with USFWS or if you wanted to.

It looks like that subsequent to meeting with Alan on site, the construction corridor was reduced to just 40' wide. This is consistent with NWP 58 which requires work corridors to be no more than 40' unless justification for a larger corridor is provided. With the additional information you provided revised stream impact tables to reflect these changes. My questions/comments are as follows: 1. will the construction corridor be maintained at 40' within the entire project corridor, or at least in wetland and stream impact areas, or was the revision only at stream impact locations? 2. If stream impacts have been revised then there should be revised plans that reflect those changes. Please provide the revised plans. Regarding the purpose of the projects: 1.

The PCN you previously submitted to Krysta indicates that there is suitable habitat for the Schweinitz's sunflower within the project corridor, that surveys were done for the sunflower during the optimal survey window and no plants were found and as such, that the project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the Schweinitz's sunflower. I agree with this assessment and as such, I need to conduct informal consultation with FWS to ensure they concur with the not likely to adversely affect determination. The information indicates that the survey was conducted on October 21, 2020. Can you provide a copy of that survey report for me to forward to FWS? Let me know if you have any questions regarding this email and feel free to give me a call if you'd like to discuss anything further. Thanks , Crystal C.
