Temporary diversions will be required for culvert installation. The two stream crossing
locations are along the plant access road and the switchyard crossing from the power
island. See Drawing 334954NR-CSK-101 (Figure 5) sections A and B. Work will he
conducted in accordance with NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). NC
Department of Transportation (NC Dar), and USACE. regulations.
The streams will be blocked during construction by use of a temporary impervious dike
approximately 20 feet upstream of the entrance to the permanent culvert. A second
impervious dike will be located approximately 20 feel down stream of the exit of the
permanent culvert. The flow will he diverted to a location beyond the construction zone
via a pumped diversion, piped diversion. or fabric lined diversion channel consistent with
the attached diagrams from the NC DOT Best Management Practice (BMP) for
Construction and Maintenance Activities.
Construction will involve resurfacing the stream bed to a suitable foundation for the
culvert. Minimal excavation is expected due to a rocky stream bed. The slope of the
culvert will match existing grade at approximately 2% grade. No ripmp will be installed
in the stream bed beyond the exit of the culvert or any other identified areas of high
velocity.
The culvert will be covered in fill, road bed material and paved. All materials and tools
used in construction will be removed after completion. Temporarily disturbed area will
be fully restored after construction, see Table 1 for quantities.
