Thank you for the response Colleen. I know you all are swamped. I wish we could get you some help.

Colleen:
Can you provide us an update on this one? The applicant is eager to get this as the
USACE has issued their provisional permit verification and the Town is ready to
approve the construction drawings and permits pending receipt of the 401.

Chuck Walker represents the developer and asked me to pass on his email to you as an
additional contact in case you had any questions. They are eager to complete the
environmental permitting on this project.

Colleen — Attached is a letter from SHPO for your files confirming they have no
comment/concerns about the project. Hopefully, the information provided and changes
to the plans satisfy any DWR concerns. We eagerly await your decision. Thanks.

Bob,

The Corps' request for additional information has been satisfied. The permit verification from the Corps
would not be issued until after the WQC has been issued by DWR.
Thanks,

Collen & April:
As it's been a couple weeks, I assume that you've got what you need, are simply
swamped with work, and are in the process of finalizing the approvals. But, please don't
hesitate to let me know if that's not the case.

To address question #3, the engineer revised the design to replace the existing pipe
with a new 36" pipe that outlets in the same location as the existing pipe.
No changes to the stream/wetland/buffer impacts.
Please replace the original permit drawings / impact maps with these new revised plans.

As to question #2, the engineer response is as follows: "The SCM will also be providing
stormwater detention in the 1 through 10 year design storms which will help lower the
velocity. There is a 15 foot long rip rap dissipater pad at the end of the culvert."
Please let us know if you require any additional information.

Good catch on Question #3. Tommy is going back to his guys to see what they can do.
We hope to have you the information on Monday morning.
Honestly, whatever they do will be a great improvement from the current situation as
that existing 30" CMP is not functioning, connects to different types and sizes of failing
pipe sections, and a ton of random fill material essentially just dumped over the stream.
See attached photos all taken in this area of the existing crossing and future impact
#11.

I've copied the project engineer Tommy Craven on this response and asking him to
respond to questions 2 & 3.
As to question 1, Impact #1 crossing was measured as per the attached exhibit. The
head of the stream bends to the southeast. It is close at 76 degrees, but we felt that it
just met the requirement. The buffer impacts at 0.2403 acres are also under 1/3 acres.
I've found that crossing meandering stream origins like this can be tricky compared to a
simply crossing with retained stream sections above the origin.

Attached are some photos of the stream origin and stream. It was excavated and
channelized from past farming practices. It was probably excavated down to seasonal
groundwater to help provide water to the stock pond below.
One thing to point out here is that we took into consideration the fact that we were
crossing at the origin, and as such located a Primary SCM across the road from it, such
that the road essentially acts like a pond dam/road crossing, even though the actual
impoundment structure is outside the road footprint. The discharge from the Primary
SCM will also help to ensure hydrology is maintained to the retained stream section
below. The end result will be a pond (Primary SCM), road, +/- 200 If of stream, then the
farm stock pond, which then drains directly to a culvert under North Main Street.

Subject: Kinsley Subdivision DWR#20220239
Good afternoon,
I am reviewing the above reference application, and some additional information is required to
complete the review:
1) Please provide additional details on how Road Crossing Impact #1 meets the definition for a
perpendicular crossing of streams or other surface waters. [15A NCAC 02B .0714(11)(y)]
2) Please provide additional information on the SCM and stormwater discharge entering the
proposed culvert under the Road Crossing in Impact #1. Will large storm events result in high
velocity discharge from the pipe and increase the potential for scouring? Will a rip rap dissipator
pad be used at the end of the culvert as it discharges to the stream?
3) Am I understanding correctly that the 30" pipe between impacts 11 and 12 is to be removed
completely and not replaced? Will hydrology between the two sections be maintained?
