VL Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Page 3 of 9

Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: To install the gravity sewer line, a
30-foot easement is required and trenches will be excavated using a trackhoe. The
easement will be graded to the pre-existing elevation and seeded. The sewer main
will be at least 3-feet deep.
Sewer Impact I will involve burvinq the 15-inch sewer pipe below the wetland.
Mechanized clearing will impact approximately 3,000 SF (0.07 Ac.) of forested
wetlands.
Sewer Impact II will involve placing the line within Riparian Zone 2 because of
topography and shallow rock.
Sewer Impact III will involve an aerial crossing immediately below (west) of I-540.
Impacts associated with this crossing include mechanized land clearing of the
forested riparian area for the 30-foot width.
approximately 5,000 SF (0.11 Ac.) of forested wetlands.
Sewer Impact V will involve burvinq the 12-inch sewer pipe below the stream located
immediately above (east) Forestville Road. The sewer line will be bored under
Forestville Road and the adjacent stream bed. Mechanized clearing will impact
approximately 4,125 SF (0.09 Ac.) of riparian areas and 50-feet of the 5-feet wide
perennial stream.
Sewer Impact VI will involve burvinq the 12-inch sewer pipe below the stream near
the eastern end of the proposed sewer corridor. The sewer line will be excavated
under the stream bed. Mechanized clearing, excavation, and placement of Class I
rip-rap will impact approximately 3,500 SF (0.08 Ac.) of riparian areas and 35-feet of
the 15-feet wide perennial stream.
Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The sanitarv sewer outfall will provide sanitarv sewer to the East Raleigh area and
connectivity to an existing sewer line near the Neuse River. This proposed line will
satisfy the City of Raleigh's criteria for a gravity driven sanitarv sewer line. In addition to
the gravity system criteria; topography, existing roads, shallow bedrock, non-impacted
environmentally sensitive areas, and other site constraints led to the proposed corridor.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
Page 6 of 9

lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if moxe space is needed.
The proposed project should not be required to provide mitigation for the proposed
stream impacts. This is due the efforts of the planning and design team to avoid
jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent possible.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
