Cherri and I have received the submittal on this project, but I am unable to locate the detailed explanation as to why the
impacts for the dissipater pads cannot be relocated outside of the riparian buffer. Can you please let us know where we
can find it in your submittal or provide the requested explanation? We will accept the information via email.
Thanks,

Annette,
Thank you for identifying an applicable use under the rules. 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,

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.

Annette,
Yes, dissipation of velocity will be required by rule of > 2 fps. 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?

Fred,
A dissipater is necessary if the flow velocity exceeds 2 fps during the 10 year storm (which seems likely).
I will need a more detailed explanation before I can permit a dissipater pad in Zone 1.

OK I agree with that.
Is it possible to keep the dissipater pad at least out of Zone 1 there?

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.

Annette,
It was good to chat with you earlier today. 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.

Fred —just a quick note. I believe we can provide authorization for the stormwater
outfalls. I'm still on the details, but you may want to contact Annette Lucas regarding
the details. I'll follow up more next week.

Eric Staehle might want to weigh in on this, but the Town makes a very valid point and
the revised request seems acceptable in that context.

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.

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.

I have actually had the property owner sign the PCN, but it was a fairly
uncomplicated issue .... I would suggest putting the PCN in our hands for us to coordinate
