Box 33068 Raleigh, North Carolina Ms. Karen Higgins 27636 -3068 NC DWR, 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit 512 North Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27604 Ms. Crystal Amschler U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington Regulatory Field Office 69 Darlington Avenue Wilmington, NC 28403 Re: Nationwide Permit 18 ApplicaL AFNOV U Lobster House Sewer Relocation Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina — 2013 Dear Ms. Higgins: On behalf of our client, the Public Works Commission of the City of Fayetteville (PWC), Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) is submitting the attached pre - construction notification application (PCN) for authorization under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 18 for the above referenced project. The Lobster House Sewer Relocation project area lies in Cumberland County along Blounts Creek, north of East Russell Street and south of NC 24 (Grove Street), between Old Wilmington Road to the east and Kennedy Street to the west. Also included with the NWP application is a request for a preliminary jurisdictional determination of the site. The site is primarily uplands, and Blounts Creek is the only jurisdictional feature within the study area. Blounts Creek is constrained by urban development and is heavily incised, with a history of bank stabilization and rip rap armoring. The only areas of the project which occur within the jurisdictional limits of the channel defined by the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) are existing manhole structures located within the lower portion of the stream bank. The delineation was conducted by identifying the OHWM at each manhole structure. Documentation is attached. No jurisdictional wetlands were identified within the project area. The proposed project will relocate approximately 1,700 linear feet of 36" concrete gravity sewer pipe and construct a new alignment adjacent to the existing alignment but further away from the stream and stream bank. The existing gravity sewer will be abandoned in place. The proposed impacts are minor in nature, and will result from the construction of a new manhole structure TEL 919 677 2000 FAX 919 677 2050 that will be required to tie into the existing gravity sewer main, and the demolition and backfill of five manhole structures along the existing alignment. The five manholes will be demolished by hand using sledgehammers and/or jack hammers, and will then be filled with rip rap. The five structures are located outside the edge of water, but are inside of the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of Blounts Creek. Temporary impacts will result from the construction of the new manhole structure to allow construction access at the stream bank and operation of equipment. Construction will not occur within the active low -flow channel. Impacts to jurisdictional features have been minimized to the greatest extent practical, with the new alignment being located entirely in uplands, and demolition activities along the existing alignment will be conducted by hand. The two proposed manholes will be constructed by mechanized equipment located above the stream top of bank, reaching down into the channel where needed, and hand placement of materials will be used whenever feasible. Silt fencing will be used to prevent debris from entering Blounts Creek.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The project is along the right bank of Blounts Creek near downtown Fayetteville. The site is heavily developed and urbanized and the stream has been historically altered (channelized, incised, riprap bank stabilization, etc.). The stream is perennial, with cobble substrate and occasional bedrock grade control. The right bank is stabilized with riprap (due to the sewer and past bank stabilization) and the stream is severely incised (entrenched). In most areas, the OHWM is lower on the bank than the top-of -bank. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 acres 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 1,808 LF 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The reason for the project is to relocate approximately 1,700 linear feet of 36 -inch concrete gravity sewer that is currently located immediately adjacent to Blount's Creek, has several exposed sections, and is reaching the end of its service life. Replacement/relocation will minimize the risk of sanitary sewer overflows in this area, as well as move the sewer further away from the stream and stream bank. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project will abandon in place the existing sewer main and construct new alignment adjacent to the existing alignment but further away from the stream and in the stream terrace rather than in the bank. One new manhole structures will be constructed within the OHWM to tie in the existing main to the new, and five manhole structures within the OHWM of the existing sewer will be demolished and stabilized with riprap.

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The project will be constructed entirely in uplands except for the demolition of 5 manhole structures and construction of 1 manhole structure. The impact of the stream bank will be limited to the footprint of manhole locations only. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.

If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. The project will relocate an existing sewer line that has been exposed in several places and is reaching the end of its service life.

Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement) 4a. Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non - discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
