park to the west and residential development and a highway corridor to the east. The Poole Road crossing abuts a greenway trail and access parking lot adjacent to woods and
residential development to the west and pockets of undeveloped woods, maintained roadside, and residential development to the east. The surrounding land use is primarily residential
and undeveloped with some individual commercial properties also present.

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to provide long-term stability to the banks of the Neuse River at the NREPI pipe crossing locations. Stability of the river banks is critical to ensure public
safety along the greenway trail and canoe launch at Poole Road, prevent exacerbating existing erosion at the bridge abutments supporting Poole Road, provide asset protection for
existing adjacent sewer infrastructure, and protect water quality in the river. The proposed bank stabilization will help to reduce sedimentation in the river downstream of the two sites by
protecting against bank erosion, and thereby protect aquatic life that depends on lower sediment loads in the water column and low rates of sediment deposition on the river bed,
particularly freshwater mussels and macroinvertebrates.
The original design for the NREPI project included use of coir matting as the bank stabilization material. Further discussions with the USAGE regarding flow rates resulting from managed
releases from Falls Lake Dam revealed that the anticipated flow rates are expected to exceed 1,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). The coir matting was selected and specified based on
an expected flow rate of 500 cfs. A flow rate of 1,000 cfs exceeds the shear stress that the coir matting can withstand.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The work involves placement of riprap over filter fabric on the right and left banks of the Neuse River at the two previously -described crossing locations. Riprap extends up the bank
beyond the ordinary high water mark in order to protect against erosion during high flows and down the bank to the toe of slope. Riprap has been keyed into the banks and mimics the
existing bank configuration on the adjacent, upstream and downstream sections of bank. The work is entirely within the footprint of the NREPI project and constitutes stabilization of the
banks following the NREPI pipe installation, which was performed by open cut trench. A portadam was used to establish and maintain a dry work area within the river for the NREPI pipe
installation, and the riprap placement was performed within the portadam-protected bank area. Construction equipment, including dump trucks and an excavator, was used to transport
the stones to the site and to set the stones in the bank.
The volume of riprap placed below the ordinary high water mark of the Neuse River consists of 0.4 cubic yards per running foot of river at the Anderson Point Park crossing and 0.6
cubic yards per running foot of river at the Poole Road crossing.

5d. List the dates of the Corp jurisdiction determination or State determination if a determination was made by the Corps or DWR.
A PJD request was submitted in 2017. The corridor for the Neuse River East Parallel Interceptor (NREPI), East Neuse Regional Pump Station, and Lower Poplar Creek Interceptor
projects was reviewed by Tasha Alexander. The limits of jurisdictional waters were verbally confirmed, but no JD was issued.
6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
C- Yes r No

Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity? This
includes other separate and distant crossing for linear projects that require Department of the Army authorization but don't require pre -construction notification.
Installation of the NREPI pipe was authorized under SAW-2020-00752 and DWR #06-0856, v4. The bank stabilization work described herein is located within the limits of the NREPI
project.

3j. Comments:
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
The footprint of the riprap is restricted to the river banks within the excavation area only. No riprap was set across the bed of the river. The minimal
amount of riprap was used to stabilize the banks and protect the bank and the new sewer pipe from future damage due to bank erosion.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*
Riprap was placed along the banks while the portadam was in place for the pipe installation work. The portadam allowed the contractor to establish
and maintain a dry work area until all stabilization efforts were completed.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes
6 No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The proposed activity does not require mitigation under NWP 13 or GC 4134.
NC Stream Temperature Classification Maps can be found under the Mitigation Concepts tab on the Wilmington District's RIBITS website.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) u
***Recent changes to the storrnwater rules have required updates to this section .***
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
6 Yes
r No

1b. All buffer impacts and high ground impacts require diffuse flow or other form of stormwater treatment. If the project is subject to a state implemented riparian buffer protection
program, include a plan that fully documents how diffuse flow will be maintained.
All Stormwater Control Measures (SCM)s must be designed in accordance with the NC Stormwater Design Manual. Associated supplement forms and other documentation shall be
provided.
What type of SCM are you providing?
r Level Spreader
r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHVVf)
r Wetland Swale (higher SHVVT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
17 Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
(check all that apply)

2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15ANCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?*
( Yes CNo
2b. If you answered "yes" to the above question, provide an explanation of the violation(s):
The permanent impacts listed herein were previously authorized as a temporary impact, using coir matting for bank stabilization rather than riprap.
Riprap was placed on the river banks immediately following the pipe installation, and the ePCN constitutes an after -the -fact application for
authorization of the permanent impacts due to the use of riprap rather than coir matting.
