Good afternoon Dave,
We are still working on responses to the other items, but please see the below information for item 6.
I've attached the below additional information for 6a regarding the Ferguson FM Corridor.

All,

Thank you for your PCN, dated 6/2/2021, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need
clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 and 58 (https://saw-
reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2021/NWP29.pdf; https://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/NWP2021/NWP58.pdf). Please submit the
requested information below (via e-mail is fine) within 30 days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny
verification of the use of the Nationwide Permit or consider your application withdrawn and close the file:
1) Per NWP General Condition 23(a) and (b) you are required to avoid and minimize all adverse impacts, both
temporary and permanent, to waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable. It appears that additional
impacts could be avoided by:
a. Bridging all proposed greenway crossings of streams and wetlands;
b. Shifting much of the proposed sewer force main corridor to the north or east to avoid wetlands running
essentially parallel with Swift Creek (e.g. Sheets CWI-1.9-1.11), as well as Swift Creek itself (Sheet CWI-
1.11);
c. Straightening sections of proposed sewer forcemain to cross wetland drainages perpendicularly (e.g.
Sheet CWI-1.6);
d. Avoiding impacts to streams for the sewer forcemain via HDD orjack-and-bore, especially at Mahlers
Creek (e.g. Sheet CWI-1.13) and unnamed tributaries to Swift Creek (e.g. Sheet CWI-1.12). This is
especially important given the known occurrences of dwarf wedgemussel in Swift Creek and critical
habitat for the Atlantic pigtoe, both Federally protected species;
2) For Impact 1:
a. Based on proposed grading, and associated wetland fill, the project would eliminate the drainage
area/hydrology source for much of Wetland B downstream of the proposed road crossing. Similarly, the
majority of the drainage area for Wetland A would be cutoff between the proposed road and the
proposed greenway crossing. As such, the Corps would consider the remainder of Wetland B, and most
(if not all) of the remainder of Wetland A, as indirect impacts (see NWP General Conditions "District
Engineers Decision") to wetlands resulting from a loss of hydrology. Note that compensatory mitigation
would be required for both direct and indirect impacts resulting in a loss of hydrology and therefore
aquatic function; compensatory mitigation is typically required at a 2:1 ratio unless otherwise justified
based on resource quality (NCWAM/NCSAM);
b. Further, it is unclear what is meant by "fine grading to avoid impacts";
c. Lastly, could the greenway alignment be shifted slightly east along Wetland B to avoid associated
grading impacts?
3) For Impact 4:
a. See Item 1 above re: bridging all greenway crossings;
b. The plan view appears to show that the culvert is proposed slightly off-line from the existing stream
channel location;
c. The Profile appears to show that the culvert would outlet into a Stream bank, resulting in additional
indirect impacts due to downstream bank erosion;
d. Although rip rap dissipater pad is shown on the plan view, it is not apparent on the profile view. Note
that any rip rap placed in the streambed must be keyed in/depressed into the stream bed such that the
top of the rip rap is no higher than the stream bed (NWP 29 Regional Condition B8), and the profile view
should be clearly shown;
4) Proposed Impact 7 is a greenway impacting and terminating within a wetland. This facility has no logical termini
and this impact has no Purpose and Need. Although the plans reference a proposed greenway on adjacent
property, this greenway has not been submitted to or approved by the Corps. Further, as stated in Item 1 above,
this impact can be avoided per NWP General Condition 23(a) and (b);
5) The PJD included the adjacent parcel to the southeast. Is any development proposed on that parcel that may be
at all associated with the proposed development?
6) Thank you for the delineation of the proposed off -site sewer forcemain:
a. Please provide wetland data forms, stream forms, pictures, and any other information you have that
may support your delineation. Please note that, based on this information I may need to schedule an on-
3

site review. If so, we may be able to add this corridor to the site visit day I already have scheduled with
the Timmons Group Raleigh office on August 3rd;
b. Please confirm that this proposed forcemain is necessary for the function of the proposed New Bethel
subdivision;
7) Thank you for the documentation submitted regarding your coordination with the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS). Although the USFWS has already concurred with the Section 7 species determinations you submitted,
it is unclear that their concurrence included an evaluation of the proposed off -site sewer forcemain (see Item 1d
above). As such, I will initiate informal consultation with the USFWS, specific to the potentially affected aquatic
species listed for this area of Wake County: Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), dwarf wedgemussel
(Alasmidonta heterodonand), yellow lance (Elliptio lanceolata), Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus), and Neuse
River waterdog (Necturus lewisi). Please note that the Corps cannot verify the use of a NWP until Section 7
consultation is complete;
8) Please note that responses to the questions above may prompt additional information requests to allow full
evaluation of the proposed project.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

The sampling point was taken within a depression approximately 75 feet from a perennial stream where evidence of overland flow (large rack lines)
was evident. The wetland area where the sampling point was taken did not have standing water or a water table present, but the wetland area at lower
elevations had standing water approximately 1-2 feet above the soil suface with a strong hydrogen sulfide smell present within the top 6" of soil and
resembled a riverine swamp wetland with obligate wetland species present throughout.
