Derek,
I have reviewed the revised PCN received April 28, 2015 for impacts to an unnamed tributary to Cub
Creek for the Wilkes County's Courthouse Drive Extension project. The impacts are not accurately assessed
and the mitigation plan provided is not adequate. The plans provided show impacts of 2241ft of stream channel
for culvert installation, 221ft of stream channel impact for class B riprap outlet protection, and 201ft of
temporary impacts for a pump around during construction.
The PCN does not include the 221ft of riprap as a permanent impact Based on the plans provided we
will require mitigation for 2441ft of impact As previously discussed the mitigation ratio will be 2:1. These
impacts occur in a cool water stream and should be mitigated using cool water credits. The PCN indicates
impacts to a warm water stream and the acceptance letter from the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS)
reflect warm water credits. Please revise pages 4 and 6 of the PCN and provide a corrected acceptance letter
from DMS.

impact Justification and Mitigation
1.
Avoidance and Minimization
la
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
Low impact methods were utilized in designing the road An erosion control plan was developed to minimize land
disturbance No practical alternative exists to relocate the road Originally NCDOT approved the design for the headwalls
and then during construction determined we need to redesign without the walls because they believe the sods will not
support the walls See Attached Justification
lb
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Stringent erosion control standards for sensitive water sheds will be adhered too All disturbances within the buffer will be
stabilized at the end of each days work
