4a. 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 Bridge Street Basin Replacement and Rehabilitation project is located within the City of Eden, either in the City limits or the City's extra -territorial zoning jurisdiction (ETJ). The project
area includes the Bridge Street Outfall and the Dan River Outfall. The basin encompasses Matrimony Creek near Robin Road to the Dan River and a number of smaller gravity flow lines
to the Matrimony Creek and Dan River Outfalls and the outfall along the Dan River to Highway 87 bridge across the river. Portions of the project higher in the watershed are beneath street
and do not directly affect waters. Most of the project lies near residential homes or small commercial properties. Along Matrimony Creek and the Dan river the project is low density semi -
rural community with small farms, single family residential properties, and undeveloped land along the stream corridor.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
This project was authorized in September 2019 under NWP 12 prior to its expiration. The Corps ID is SAW-2019-01086 and the DWR Certification number is 20190883. We are seeking
re -approval under NWP 58 and NC WQC 4276 as construction has not yet started. No changes in design or impacts to WoTUS are proposed. Project impacts are below NWP 58
notification thresholds. Jon Ellis of the USFWS concurs with the threatened and endangered species conclusions made in the previous authorization (Attached correspondence).
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *

The City of Eden is in the process of implementing a Collection System Remediation Program which includes rehabilitation, replacement, and/or relocation of pump stations, manholes,
and gravity sewer mains in various sewer basins. The program includes a series of projects aimed to reduce sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and excessive inflow and infiltration (I&I) in
the wastewater collection system. The Remediation Program is a requirement of the City's Administrative Order by Consent (AOC) with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The program is funded by the State of North Carolina through grants and loans (State Project No. E-SRP-W-17-0026).
Much of the existing wastewater collection system is physically degraded with numerous defects. Inflow/outflow issues exist with ongoing maintenance -repairs limiting services and
creating potential environmental problems. These aging sewers are physically degraded containing Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) Grade 3, 4, and 5 defects. This
project addresses improvements located in the Bridge Street sewer basin.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
It is anticipated this project work will include replacement utilizing open trench construction (approximately 13,000 LF), relocation (approximately 3,000 LF), and rehabilitation by cured in
place pipe (CIPP) lining (approximately 11,000 LF). The improvements are needed to address a combination of problems including joint infiltration, sags, corrosion, non -conforming sewer
taps, and manhole defects. This project is expected to limit future failures and repairs while reducing the environmental impacts of the current defective system. An increase in current
capacity is not expected.
The project involves the replacement and relocation of sewer mains and manholes using open -trench methods where sewer lines have structural issues. Excavation will be accomplished
using track hoes to remove material. Smaller track equipment will be utilized to stabilize and prepare the exposed surface for planting. It also includes trenchless sewer main and manhole
rehabilitation which will be less impactful the project areas. Lining trucks, CCTV rigs, and other light to medium equipment will be used during rehabilitation activities.
All disturbed stream banks restored to preconstruction contour and grade or a stable grade and will be planted in native herbaceous seed mixes. Permanent impacts are anticipated to be
less than one tenth of an acre, and therefore, is expected to be below the threshold for mitigation.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes
No Unknown
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made? *
Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A
Corps AID Number:
SAW-2019-01086
5c. If 5a is yes, who delineated the jurisdictional areas?
Name (if known):
Agency/Consultant Company:

5d. List the dates of the Corp jurisdiction determination or State determination if a determination was made by the Corps or DWR
USACE preliminary JD made on 9/18/19.
6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
Yes No
6b. If yes, explain.
The City of Eden is in the process of implementing a Collection System Remediation Program which includes rehabilitation, replacement, and/or relocation of pump stations, manholes,
and gravity sewer mains in various sewer basins. The program includes a series of projects aimed to reduce sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and excessive inflow and infiltration (I&I) in
the wastewater collection system. The Remediation Program is a requirement of the City's Administrative Order by Consent (AOC) with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The program is funded by the State of North Carolina through grants and loans (State Project No. E-SRP-W-17-0026). This application is requesting re -authorization of the Phases
11 and 12 of this work which had been previously authorized under NWP 12 and associated NC WQC.
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?

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
705
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
During the planning and design phase of the project, efforts were made to avoid impacts to the greatest extent possible. Because of the existing nature
of the project, certain unavoidable impacts are necessary to fulfill the applicant's purpose and need. To minimize impacts to surface water resources
during the project construction and maintenance, an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be included in the project's design plans.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Stream and wetland impacts have been reduced by minimizing the size of the project area and with construction techniques. Installations of rip -rap and
grade control structures below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) are limited in placement and size to the minimum necessary to ensure channel
stability. Also, to avoid permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters, existing channel substrates will be restored following construction.
All stream work will be done in the dry using a pump around during construction. Pump arounds will minimize land disturbance and utilize culverts when
applicable to reduce traffic disturbances. Anti -seep collars shall be placed at the downstream wetland boundary and every 150 up the gradient until the
sewer line exits the wetland, as specified under the GC 4276 Specific Conditions requirements. Impacted wetland will be restored to their original
contour and planted in native herbaceous vegetation. All disturbed stream banks will be graded to previous elevations or to a stable slope and stabilized
with coir matting installation and minimal rip -rap as need to protect stream banks. If additional stream bed stabilization is required, stone will be placed
one foot below the natural channel bottom and backfilled with natural channel material. All disturbed wetlands and stream banks will be planted with
native seed mixes. All erosion control measures will be placed in accordance with the Erosion Control Regulations. Local storm water and erosion
control regulations will be followed on the project site. Ongoing on -site construction inspections will ensure that construction contractors are following all
DEQ-approved plans.
Areas where replacement is necessary, the channel bed, channel banks, the floodplain, and wetlands will be restored to preconstruction contour and
grade.
