Re N College Mixed Use
DWR Project # NOV- 2014 -PC -0161
This project received a Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement (DWR
Project# NOV- 2014 -PC- 0161), dated 08/04/2014
We are submitting this PCN to provide more detail and to request an open excavation to
re- install the sewer line
During construction the sewer line was installed above the existing elevation of the
stream This resulted in unauthorized fill to be placed within the stream To rectify this
situation it was proposed that the unauthorized fill would be removed and the sewer
crossing would become an aerial crossing This method was presented to the CFPUA
which was subsequently denied Therefore the sewer line will be lowered to be below the
elevation of the stream bed and all unauthorized fill within the stream will be removed
and the stream will be restored to its original preexisting elevations
Please contact me immediately at (910) 442 -7870 or gpape@gsp- consulting com if you
have any questions or require additional information
Sincerely,
GSP CONSULTING, PLLC.

letter)
❑ Yes ❑ No
Comments
2. Violations (DWQ Requirement)

® Yes ❑ No
or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B 0200)?
2b Is this an after - the -fact permit application?
® Yes ❑ No
2c If you answered "yes" to one or both of the above questions, provide an explanation of the violation(s) Since the
current sewer crossing has resulted in unauthorized fill within the stream bed, causing a rise in elevation of
the stream bed, which is in violation of NWP 12 conditions As a result of the violation, we must apply for a
NWP 12 for the proposed subsurface sewer crossing

❑ Yes ® No
additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
3b If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the
most recent DWQ policy If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description
The proposed project consists of the expansion of the CFPUA sanitary sewer system, which will be
continually expanded in the future. However, the proposed project will specifically serve the North College
Mixed -Use project, and will not be a catalyst for future development

Withers & Ravenel conducted a survey for federally listed and Endangered Species & potential habitat in June 2013
Withers & Ravenel determined that there was no potential habitat for federally listed species with the N College Mixed -
Use project boundary therefore the proposed project will have "No Effect' on federally listed species or their habitat
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
❑ Yes ® No
6b What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?

governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e g , National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in

® Yes ❑ No
8b If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements This will be a subsurface utility that will result in no rise of the 100 -
year flood elevation
