Subject: Restoration Plan for Collins Creek Stream Restoration Project
Cape Fear River Basin - CU# 0303002
Orange County, North Carolina
Contract No. DO5011
Dear Mr. Pfeiffer:
On .August 28, 2007, KCI Technologies (KCI) submitted the Collins Creek Stream Restoration
Plan to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for review and comment. The plan
proposes to restore and enhance 2,310 existing linear feet (lf) of an unnamed tributary to Collins
Creek and 6,819 existing if along four of its tributaries. The streams will be restored or
enhanced using a combination of C, Bc, and B Rosgen stream types. Natural channel design
approach was employed using six reference reaches for developing design parameters.
The EEP has completed its review of the restoration plan and has no additional comments at this
time. Please proceed with acquiring all necessary permits and/or certifications and complete the
implementation of the earthwork portion of the mitigation project (Task 4). A copy of this letter
should be included with your 401 /404 permit applications.
For the purpose of obtaining approval of the erosion and sedimentation control plan for this
project, I have also attached a memorandum confirming that KCI is the Owner and Financially
Responsible Party, and has full operational control for all matters pertaining to construction of
this project. Please sign and attach this memorandum to the Financial Responsibility/Ownership
form of the erosion and sedimentation control plan application. Failure to do so may delay
approval of the plan.
Si~cerely,
~,
Guy C. Pearce

Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan .must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The project site is currently being used as pasture for cattle
and horses. There are also three residences and farm buildings on the subject parcels. The
surrounding land use is rural residential. The existingproject streams have experienced ,years
of degradation from agricultural and livestock use. Aerial imagery from as early as 1938
shows that the streams were already channelized or otherwise impacted by this time. Riparian
areas along the project streams are sparse and often consist of undesirable riparian species.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
project will involve restoring and enhancing 9,189 existing linear feet of stream. A bulldozer,
front-end loader on tracks, a dump truck, and/or a track hoe will be used to the restore the
nroiect streams.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: This project is afull-delivery project (FDP)
developed for the Ecosystem Enhancement Pro rg am (EEP). The project streams will be
restored to an appropriate pattern, dimension, and profile. As a result of the restoration, the
project has the opportunity to reduce nutrient and sediment inputs and to reestablish a
riparian corridor with high=quality aquatic and terrestrial habitat.

techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. This site is a stream restoration
project, so an alternatives analysis is not appropriate under this circumstance.
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.
USAGE - 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 USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
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.

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 more space is needed.
No new mitigation is needed as a result of this project. Please see the restoration plan
included in the~ermit application materials.
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
