Project Description 3a 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 Bethlehem - Ellendale Water System Improvements Project is ,a linear utility project that,wdl install 23,000,linear feet,of waterline in the Right -of -Way of four state roads (see,Project description, 3e) The Project will cross seven unnamed tributaries to Middle Little, River and Middle Little River once (refer to the) Project Overview Map) Five of,the stream crossings (Crossings 4 -8) will be completed by trenching above existing piped conveyances that will not impact surface waters Two stream crossings (Crossings 1 & 2) will be completed by bore and jack, and directional drilling, that will not impact surface, waters or cause disturbance to stream beds One stream crossing (Crossing 3) will be open cut trenched due to underlying bedrock that restricts boring`techniques (see engineer's field notes, dated 8- 25 -14) Stream Crossing 3 is referred,to as the Project Site The Project Site is located on an unnamed perennial tributary to Middle Little River in the Right -of -Way of Blankenship Road UT- Middle Little River is a mapped USGS blueline,stream and•averages Vin width within the Project Site The Project Site is located 15 -20' upstream and east of an existing 72" RCP that conveys flow under Blankenship Road The area immediately surrounding the Project Site is dominated by shallow surface bedrock The larger area surrounding the Project Site consists of rural single- family residences, small farms, and undeveloped property made up of open fields, wooded areas with moderately hilly terrain 3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property, N/A 3c List the total estimated linear feet of'all.existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property Tributaries on the property have not been delineated beyond the Project Site 3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project The Bethlehem - Ellendale Water System Improvements Project will provide expanded public water service to the Citizens of Alexander,County and improve circulation in the existing Alexander County Water System 3e Descnbe,the,overall project in detail, including theAype of,equipment to,be used The Bethlehem - Ellendale Water System Improvements Project involves the,construction of approximately 23,000 linear feet of 12 -inch and 8 -inch diameter water mains, upgrades to an existing Bethlehem'water booster pump station and the addition of a new 600,000 gallon; finished- water, ground storage tank at the existing Ellendale tank site. The water mains will connect to existing dead -end lines to create a new expanded Ellerdale service area and will extend from Devil Track Road, Blankenship Road, Teague Town Road and Bowman Cutover Road. Water line installation at stream Crossing 1 (attached sheet C -101) will be•completed by directional drilling.and will consist of ductile lined pipe to be installed under the stream bed,with 36 "''of separation Waterline °installation at stream Crossing 2 (attached sheetiC -108) will be completed by bore and hack and,will consist of a;20" steel casing, 0 25 "wall thickness,, for the pipe segment under the stream Stream Crossing 3 (attached sheet C -112) was originally planned for installation without any stream bed disturbance by boring and jacking. However the discovered presence of bedrock prohibits the planned "non- disturb" installation method Therefore, the County respectfully requests that stream Crossing 3 be permitted under the jursdiction of NWP -12 with all impacts to,the stream being temporary (Steam Impact Site S -1) Water line installation at Crossing 3 will be,completed,using a track hoe with mounted rock hammerand mini- excavator according to the following process spoil area established, setback minimum of 10' from streambank and encircled with sediment fence.for temporary storage of excavated streambed andhbank material, temporary pipe with washed stone embedment setup in,stream channel to ensure Work is performed in the dry (refer to attached plansheet C -504 forlypical Trenching Details), trench is dug or rock hammered perpendicular, across stream channel to specified.elevation; trench bottom is lined with washed stone (6" min ), ductile lined pipe is installed on top of stone embedment, excavated stream bed material is backfilled in 6" lifts to pre- existing stream bed elevation, disturbed stream banks are graded back to match adjoining bank grade and dimensions, stabdization,of disturbed.stream banks and 30' buffer is completed by installing coir matting and seeding with temporary erosion control seedmix, overseeded with riparian seedmix, and, covered with straw to ensure seed germination All temporary water diversion materials removed from the stream channel Page 4 of 1`3 PCN Form — Version 1 3 December 10, 2008 Version 4.

Group of trees on the left abut UT- Middle Little River and Stream Impact Site S -1. Proposed water line will cross the unnamed tributary perpendicularly approximately 15 -20' from the edge of Blankenship Road. Crossing will be installed using an open cut trench that will incur temporary impacts to the stream bed and banks. All temporary impacts will be mitigated and stabilized. No changes to stream bed and bank dimension or grade will result. Photo Two: View looking to the east from Blankenship Road at UT- Middle Little River in center of photo. Proposed water line to cross 8' wide perennial tributary (S -1) approximately 15 -20' from edge of the road. Photo Three: View looking to the north along Blankenship Road.

Therefore, we believe our project is eligible for consideration for a CE from the State's environmental assessment review processes and request that the State of North Carolina concur with our determination. We understand that the State of North Carolina may determine that the proposed activity is of such an unusual nature or has such widespread implications that a concern for its environmental effects has been identified by DENR or expressed to DENR. We understand that, in this case, the activity may be ineligible for CE under 15A NCAC 01C .0306(4). We recognize that this request supplies information sufficient only for state - financed assistance underthe 15A NCAC 01 J and 01 L rules. If we are applying (either additionally or exclusively) for federally- financed assistance under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program, additional steps (including obtaining comment letters and publicizing the requested action) apply.
