Storm drainage runoff outlet from the proposed 24 -inch RCP on the south side of the existing 60 inch CMP culvert can be achieved with a dissipater located partially within zone 2 but outside of zone 1 NRB. However, runoff outlet from the proposed 15 -inch RCP on the north side of the existing 60 inch CMP culvert will have all of its dissipater located within zone 1 for reasons already discussed. If we could achieve a way to avoid it at this location we would. The PCN will provide a detailed explanation about the 'no practical alternatives" for this proposed impact. Thank you for your time to conduct a preliminary review of this project. Best regards, Original Message--- From: Lucas, Annette Sent: Monday, April 22,2O1] 1:55 PM To: Fred Rash Cm: Smith, Cherri L Subject: RE: Smithfield Road Sidewalk Improvements - PCN Application I'm going to permit it under the buffer rule use "Stormwater Management Ponds," so a variance will not be required. However, your client will be required to avoid and minimize as well as pay mitigation for the impacts to the buffers. You will need to do your best to get the dissipater pad out of Zone I or provide a detailed explanation if that cannot be accomplished. 171 "IM Annette M.

What kind of detail is needed at this point? The detail is provided on the plans. I want to submit the PCN with the impacts shown as designed provided there is a pathway for the proposed buffer impacts. Can we discuss over the phone again this morning?

I will need a more detailed explanation before I can permit a dissipater pad in Zone 1.

Is it possible to keep the dissipater pad at least out of Zone 1 there? Annette From: Fred Rash [ mailto: frashOthewootencompany.com] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2013 1:45 PM To: Lucas, Annette Subject: RE: Smithfield Road Sidewalk Improvements - PCN Application Annette, We've taken a look at adjusting the 15" RCP outlet outside of the NRB. Aligning the pipe outlet further away from the stream on the upstream side "buck's" the natural grade. We cannot find a daylight point to discharge if we do this. I've attached a PDF file of the plan and one of the profile showing this challenge. In my professional opinion we have no practical alternative for either pipe outlet. When we met with Martin Richmond last week - the field reconnaissance seemed to suggest this to be the case. Please let me know if you want to discuss this further. Thank you.

I have attached a plot of the raw survey points with added color to show the existing environmental features. The proposed storm pipe is in overlay on the schematic. I've also attached a partial set our construction plans. I'd be happy to discuss this with you once you have had a chance to review to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.

The Wooten Company 919.828.0531 www.thewootencompanV.com www.knightdalenc.gov From: Fred Rash [ mai Ito: frashOthewootencompany.com] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2013 1:33 PM To: Chris Hills; Fred Boone Cc: 'Eric.Staehle @wakegov.com'; Jennifer Currin Subject: RE: Smithfield Road Sidewalk Improvements - PCN Application Chris /Fred US Army Corps of Engineers and DWQ will be meeting with us at the stream /culvert on April 10 at 2 pm. You are welcome to attend but it is not necessary. The snag we have is that when we performed our topographic /design survey originally, the area was impounded due to beaver activity. At some point following the initial survey, the beaver dam was removed enabling us to see what is going on with the stream channel through that area. We have re- surveyed the area but there appears to be more than one stream channel feature present. We cannot definitively make the call on the second feature without concurrence from the Corps. Also, two of our proposed storm drainage systems outlet directly into what would be Neuse Riparian Buffers. We'll rely upon DWQ to assist us with what would be allowable in this situation, and may need to make some adjustments to the outlet design depending upon the direction we receive from both US Army Corps and DWQ. We are unable to complete the PCN application or tie down the easements in this area until we receive a determination on what is jurisdictional and some guidance from DWQ. One item that we need assistance with from the Town is 'agent authorization.' We will need the owner of both Suggs' properties to sign off on a letter form indicating that we 8 have permission to both access the property and submit an application to U.S. Army Corps and DWQ for impacts to the environmental features on their property. I have prepared a draft letter (attached). Please review this and let me know if you have any questions. We will need to have this executed by the property owners and forwarded to the Corps in advance of our April 10th site visit. Also, note, it would need to be made clear with the Owners that a separate agreement(s) would be prepared for the Permanent Easements and Temporary Construction Easements. Please call me if you have any questions. - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Fred Rash Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 11:01 AM To: 'Chris Hills'; Fred Boone Cc: 'Eric.Staehle @wakegov.com'; Jennifer Currin Subject: RE: Smithfield Road Sidewalk Improvements - PCN Application Chris, We are currently waiting for DWQ and USACE for concurrence on the stream calls - planned for April 10th. At the time of our original survey, the area was impounded due to beaver activity and so we cannot be definitive with the jurisdictional calls until after we get the agencies out there with us. We cannot prepare PCN at this point - but are hopeful to be much closer by mid April. - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Chris Hills [ mailto :chris.hillsCa)knightdalenc.QOV] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 10:45 AM To: Fred Boone Cc: 'Eric.Staehle @wakegov.com'; Jennifer Currin; Fred Rash Subject: RE: Smithfield Road Sidewalk Improvements - PCN Application - Can you please send us the completed PCN forms and we will reach out to the property owners when we get them the plats?
