4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
This is a re -submittal of a project that received authorization under the expired NWP 12 on 9/16/19, SAW-2019-01088.
The project is a Sewer Replacement and Rehabilitation Project located in Eden, North Carolina within the Junction Sewer Basin. The project area includes rehabilitation, replacement,
and/or relocation of pump stations, manholes, and gravity sewer mains in the Junction Sewer Basin and for the Smith River Siphon. The program includes a series of projects aimed to
reduce sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and excessive infiltration and inflow (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).

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Phase 14: Junction Street Basin Replacement and Rehabilitation
The Junction Basin Replacement and Rehabilitation consists of replacement of approximately 530 linear feet (LF) of 8" gravity sewers, 1,015 LF of 24" gravity sewers, trenchless cured -in -
place pipe (CIPP) lining of 1,168 LF of 18" gravity sewer, and the replacement of five 4' diameter manholes including parts of the Smith River Outfall, Valley Drive, and Neil Street Outfall.
These sewers are physically degraded containing Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) Grade 3, 4 and 5 defects and are anticipated to be repaired utilizing open trench
construction, relocation, and trenchless rehabilitation. This will result in 40 If/0.007 ac. of permanent of impacts to UT1 to the Smith River as the sewer will be installed via open trench (S1).
Rip rap will be keyed into the stream bed at the original grade and covered with native sediments to protect the sewer. Impacts are permanent, but no loss of waters will occur.
Phase 15: Smith River Outfall Rehabilitation and Siphon Replacement
The Smith River Outfall (Junction Basin) Rehabilitation consists of improvements to the outfall between sanitary manhole JN_MH-0295, on the north side of King's Highway, to just
upstream of the Junction Pump Station (JPS) and includes an inverted siphon under the Smith River. These portions of the collection system require immediate rehabilitation by
replacement of several segments of sewer that are not suitable for lining (approximately 1,100 LF of 24" gravity sewer main), installation of a new triple barrel siphon that meets current
standards for accessibility and routine cleaning, and approximately 2,400 LF of sewer main rehabilitation via CIPP lining. The existing siphon will be removed and replaced in generally the
same alignment, requiring a temporary cofferdam of the Smith River. The siphon will be taken out of service during replacement and will be bypassed for an estimated period of up to six
months.
This will result in 88 If/0.22 ac. of permanent stream impacts to the Smith River and 34 If/0.006 of impact to UT1 to the Smith River as the sewer crossings in both locations will require the
installation of rip rap. (S2,S3). Rip rap will be keyed into the stream bed at the original grade and covered with native sediments to protect the sewer. Impacts are permanent, but no loss of
waters will occur.
Construction of the siphon across the Smith River requires a staged coffer dam across the river for work to be performed in the dry. The existing siphon will be removed and replaced in
generally the same alignment with less severe angles which will require relocation of the inlet and outlet structures. Work included will impact the Smith River and a review of the project
footprint for protected species was conducted.
The sewer replacements throughout the project are necessary to prevent further degradation and failure of the existing sewer pipe and reduce potential contamination the Smith River.
Theses proposed activities are authorized under Nation Wide Permit 58- Water Utility Line Activities. Stream bank stabilization will follow accepted stream restoration techniques and
consist of sloping steep banks to a stable grade. Revegetation of all disturbed stream banks and wetland areas with native vegetation will be required.
Permanent impacts will not result in a loss of water, and therefore, anticipated impacts are expected to be below the threshold for mitigation. Where applicable, the sewer lines will be
designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with Title 15A NCAC Chapter 027.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

Permanent impacts will not result in a loss of waters, and therefore, anticipated impacts are expected to be below the threshold for mitigation. Where
applicable, the sewer lines will be designed, constructed, and maintained in accordance with Title 15A NCAC Chapter 027.
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:
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 OHWMs are limited in placement and size to the minimum necessary to ensure channel stability. Also, to ensure no
permanent loss of jurisdictional waters, rip rap will be keyed into the channel bed and 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 exists the wetland, as specified under the GC 4276 Specific Conditions requirements. All disturbed stream banks will be graded to previous
