The project proposes to replace the undersized 12-inch gravity sanitary sewer running along Lakewood Avenue between the intersection of University Drive and South Duke Street and South Roxboro Street with new 24-inch sanitary sewer. This includes replacing the existing aerial sewer crossing that has been eroded by an unnamed tributary (stream S4) with an underground sewer crossing. Upsizing the existing aerial sewer crossing would restrict base flow in stream S4. Therefore, the project will convert the existing aerial sewer crossing to an underground sewer crossing to avoid all impacts to stream S4. Additionally, the project is proposing to repair and stabilize 477 linear feet of stream S4 surrounding the proposed underground sewer crossing to improve the water quality functions of the stream and floodplain through enhancement of the natural ecosystem and riparian community, control and reduce streambank erosion, and improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Repair and enhancement of the stream around the new underground sewer crossing will also aid in the protection of the new sewer infrastructure and reduce future erosion in the stream channel. Kimley-Horn staff delineated the project corridor on June 1, 2020 and identified 4 streams within 50 feet of the project corridor (S1, S2, S3, and S4). A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request (SAW-2021-00554) was submitted to April Norton of the USACE on March 16, 2021 and a Buffer Determination Request was submitted to Joshua Brigham of the NCDWR on March 8, 2021. Both applications are currently pending review with their respective agencies. Page 2 kimley-horn.com 421 Fayetteville Street, Suite 600, Raleigh, NC 27601 919 677 2000 STREAM ENHANCEMENT The proposed stream enhancement will result in 477 linear feet of unavoidable permanent, no net loss of water impacts to an unnamed tributary (stream S4). Stream repair and enhancement activities will include the grading of damaged and unstable stream banks to match natural channel contours, the placement of rip rap and boulder toe protection along the stream banks to provide stabilization, and the construction of riffles within the stream to establish grade control, facilitate sediment transport, and enhance aquatic species habitat. Temporary access to facilitate construction/installation of stream enhancement structures and streambank repair, and temporary dewatering via pump-around to allow for work in the dry will result in 17 linear feet of temporary impacts to stream S4. The proposed stream enhancement will result in permanent and temporary impacts to the Jordan Lake Watershed buffer zones along stream S4. Stream enhancement activities including the grading back of stream banks and the installation of structures to prevent future erosion along the streambank of stream S4 will result in 19,911 square feet of permanent buffer zone 1 impacts and 7,262 square feet of buffer zone 2 impacts. Additionally, 4,820 square feet of permanent buffer zone 1 impacts and 864 square feet of permanent buffer zone 2 impacts will result from a new, permanent City of Durham easement on the western side of stream S4 for current and future access and maintenance to the stream enhancement project. Temporary access is necessary to complete the proposed stream enhancement and will result in 4,820 square feet of temporary buffer zone 1 impacts and 864 square feet of temporary buffer zone 2 impacts along stream S4. All temporarily impacted areas will be restored and replanted upon completion of the proposed stream restoration. SEWER REPLACEMENT No permanent or temporary stream impacts will result from replacing the existing sewer crossing at stream S4 with an underground sewer crossing, which will be conducted within existing sewer easement (30' wide). However, temporary impacts will result from the removal of the existing aerial crossing. This temporarily impacted area falls within the permanent stream enhancement impacts along stream S4. The proposed sewer replacement will result in temporary impacts only to the Jordan Lake Watershed buffer zones along stream S4. Temporary access for the replacement/maintenance of the sewer crossing within the existing sewer easement (30' wide) will result in 942 square feet of temporary buffer zone 1 impacts and 1,317 square feet of temporary buffer zone 2 impacts along stream S4 All temporarily impacted areas will be restored and replanted upon completion of the proposed work. Page 3 kimley-horn.com 421 Fayetteville Street, Suite 600, Raleigh, NC 27601 919 677 2000 MITIGATION No compensatory mitigation is proposed as part of this permit application. The proposed stream enhancement will serve to improve the water quality within the watershed and will not result in a loss of water; therefore, no stream mitigation is proposed. Additionally, in accordance with the Jordan Lake Watershed Buffer Rules, buffer impacts resulting from "Restoration or enhancement" and "Utility, electric, underground, perpendicular crossings" are considered allowable or exempt buffer impacts and, therefore, do not require mitigation.

Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The purpose of the proposed project is to replace the aging, undersized 12-inch gravity sanitary sewer running along Lakewood Avenue with new 24-inch sanitary sewer to improve the condition of the sewer infrastructure and accommodate existing and future demand. Replacement of and improvements to the existing sewer will also reduce the risk of future overflows and failures. This includes replacing the existing aerial sewer crossing that has been eroded by an unnamed tributary (stream S4) with an upsized, underground sewer crossing to avoid stream impacts. Additionally, the project is proposing to repair and stabilize the length of stream S4 surrounding the proposed underground sewer crossing to improve the water quality functions of the stream and floodplain through enhancement of the natural ecosystem and riparian community, control and reduce streambank erosion, and improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat. Repair and enhancement of the stream around the new underground sewer crossing will also aid in the protection of the new sewer infrastructure and reduce future erosion in the stream channel. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* The project is proposing to replace the undersized 12-inch sanitary sewer running along Lakewood Avenue with new 24-inch sanitary sewer within existing City of Durham sanitary sewer easements or beneath existing roadway/sidewalk pavement via trenching. Small sections of new City of Durham sanitary sewer easement are proposed, however, none of these areas are located within streams or riparian buffers. The existing sanitary sewer line will be abandoned in place for portions of the project where the proposed sewer is being relocated, rather than abandoned in place. The existing aerial sewer crossing that has been eroded by an unnamed tributary (stream S4) will be replaced with an underground sewer crossing. Upsiang the existing aerial sewer crossing would restrict base flow in stream S4. Therefore, the project will convert the existing aerial sewer crossing to an underground, perpendicular sewer crossing beneath the stream channel to avoid disturbance to stream S4. The proposed sanitary sewer crossing will be installed within a steel casing pipe and enclosed in a constructed riffle with a downstream structure set at the same elevation as the top of the sewer casing, so the pipe will be flush with the stream channel bottom and will not restrict base flow. As part of the project, stream enhancement is proposed for the length of stream S4 surrounding the existing, exposed aerial sewer crossing. The proposed stream repair will include the grading of damaged and unstable stream banks to match natural channel contours, the placement of rip rap and boulder toe protection along the stream banks to provide stabilization, the installation of riffles composed of rip rap, and the construction of log J-hook riffles within the stream to establish grade control, reduce streambank erosion, facilitate sediment transport, and enhance aquatic species habitat. The constructed riffles will also create profile variability that is currently lacking in the system. The Piedmont Regional Hydraulic Geometry Curve data was used as a reference point for the proposed stream channel geometry and grade control structures. As part of the stream repair, stream banks that have been graded and disturbed will be replanted with live stakes, bare roots, and herbaceous plugs to promote vegetation establishment and restore the overall function of the riparian buffers. Construction equipment typical of stream repair and utility maintenance projects will be utilized including bulldozers, excavators, graders, cranes, dump trucks, concrete trucks, and pavers. 4j.

Comments: Unavoidable permanent impacts to an unnamed tributary (stream S4) will result from the enhancement of the channel and banks, resulting in no loss of waters. Stream repair and enhancement activities will include the grading of damaged and unstable stream banks to match natural channel contours, the placement of rip rap and boulder toe protection along the stream banks to provide stabilization, and the construction of riffles within the stream to establish grade control, facilitate sediment transport, and enhance aquatic species habitat. Stream repair and enhancement activities will be completed after the proposed sanitary sewer crossing has been installed. Proposed temporary impacts to stream S4 will result from temporary access to facilitate construction/installation of stream enhancement structures and streambank repair, and for temporary dewatering via pump -around to allow for work in the dry. No permanent or temporary stream impacts will result from converting the aging, existing aerial sewer crossing to an underground, perpendicular sewer crossing beneath the stream channel to avoid disturbance to stream S4. All sewer work will be conducted within existing sewer easement (30' wide) at the stream crossing. The proposed sanitary sewer crossing will be installed within a steel casing pipe and enclosed in a constructed riffle with a downstream structure set at the same elevation as the top of the sewer casing, so the pipe will be flush with the stream channel bottom and will not restrict base flow. However, temporary impacts will result from the removal of the existing aerial crossing. This temporarily impacted area falls within the permanent stream enhancement impacts. Upon completion of the project, temporary impacts will be returned to pre- existing conditions. 6. Buffer Impacts (for DWR) 6a. Project is in which protect basin(s)?

Comments: Permanent buffer zone 1 and zone 2 impacts at Site 1 will result from stream enhancement activities including the grading back of stream banks and the installation of structures to prevent future erosion with the limits of disturbance (LOD). Outside of the LOD, permanent buffer zone 1 and zone 2 impacts at Site 1 will result from a new, permanent City of Durham easement on the western side of stream S4 for current and future access and maintenance to the stream enhancement project. Temporary buffer impacts at Site 1 to zone 1 and zone 2 along stream S4 will result from the necessary temporary access to complete the proposed stream enhancement and utility replacement/maintenance. The sewer line replacement will be conducted within the existing sewer easement (30' wide). Temporarily impacted areas will be returned to pre-existing contours and planted with native vegetation upon completion of the proposed work. Supporting Documentation 08_La kewood_PermitDrawings_. pdf 2.47MB 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: As a result of existing downstream sewer grade constraints and minimum slope requirements, the ability to make significant elevation changes to the sewer line at the stream crossing is limited, however, the project was designed to minimize impacts to the greatest extent practicable. The proposed sewer is designed at NCDEQ's state minimum slopes to ensure the pipe is the below the channel and perpendicularly crosses the stream to avoid disturbance, while still maintaining functionality as a gravity line. Due to the existing sewer grade as well as the existing stream grade and slope, it is not possible to cover the proposed sewer pipe and casing, so the sewer pipe has been integrated into the design of the constructed riffle. The proposed sanitary sewer will not protrude into the stream channel and will be protected by the surrounding stream enhancements, which will prevent future erosion and promote long -tern stability of both sewer infrastructure and stream S4. The sanitary sewer crossing will be installed within a steel casing pipe to protect the sanitary sewer and stream, which will be enclosed in a constructed riffle with a downstream structure set at the same elevation as the top of the sewer casing, so it will be flush with the constructed streambed. The proposed sewer crossing will not impede/restrict baseflow or disrupt the movement of aquatic species through the stream. In addition, the proposed enhancement of stream S4 has been designed to improve the water quality functions of the streams and the associated floodplain, enhance and protect the natural ecosystem and riparian community, control and reduce future streambank erosion, promote long-term stability of the crossing, and restore aquatic habitat. Temporary construction and staging areas for the stream enhancement and sewer line replacement have been located outside of jurisdictional areas to the greatest extent possible, while still allowing for the necessary access points to construct the project. Additionally, the sanitary sewer maintenance includes the repair and replacement of an existing sewer line within existing sewer easement, resulting in minimal impacts to riparian buffers. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Impacts to streams and protected riparian buffers within the corridor will be avoided throughout the construction process by equipment, materials, and access corridors to the greatest extent possible. Where feasible, staging and construction access routes will be located in upland areas throughout the corridor. Silt fencing will be installed around the limits of disturbance to help ensure that all construction equipment will remain within the project area throughout the construction process. Sediment control measures will be used to reduce stormwater impacts to receiving waters and minimize runoff from the construction sites. Pump-arounds or water diversion devices will be installed within the streams to allow for work in the dry. All temporarily impacted areas will be returned to pre-existing condition and replanted with native vegetation upon completion of construction. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? r Yes 6 No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: The proposed stream enhancement serves to improve the water quality within the watershed and will not result in a loss of water; therefore, no stream mitigation is proposed. Additionally, in accordance with the Jordan Lake Watershed Buffer Rules, buffer impacts resulting from "Restoration or enhancement" and "Utility, electric, underground, perpendicular crossings" are considered allowable or exempt buffer impacts and, therefore, do not require mitigation.

What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? As of July 17, 2020, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three endangered species known to occur in Durham County: dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii), and smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata). Additionally, five at risk species are known to occur in Durham County: Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus), Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewsi), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), green floater (Lasmigona subviridis), and Septima's clubtail (Gomphus septima). Bald eagle is also known to occur in Durham County and is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA). Potentially suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac and smooth coneflower exists along the maintained lot edges, sidewalk shoulders, and roadside within the project corridor. Although these areas provide potentially suitable habitat, the regular mowing maintenance schedule and herbicide application within these areas would likely inhibit the plant's success. Suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel, Carolina madtom, Neuse River waterdog, Atlantic pigtoe, green floater, and Septima's clubtail is not present within the project corridor due to the lack of well -oxygenated, high -quality perennial streams with stable banks, gravel substrate, and strong riffle -pool complexes. Stream S4, which is the only stream that is anticipated to be impacted by the proposed project, is an urban, intermittent stream that has eroded, unstable banks and is impacted by sediment discharge. Stream S4 is also lacking geomorphology including hydrological in -channel structures, such as riffle -pool complexes, and grade control. Stream S4 is likely not well -oxygenated due to the lack of these riffle -pool complexes or any variation within the stream profile and the influence of sedimentation within the stream. A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Element Occurrence Database (updated January 2021) identifies no known current occurrences of any federally listed species in or within 1.0-mile radius of the project corridor. However, there is one known historical occurrence of the federally endangered smooth coneflower within a 1.0-mile radius of the project corridor. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, the lack of known occurrences within the project corridor, and the fact that the project is designed to enhance the overall health, function, and stability of stream S4, it is anticipated that the proposed project will not impact any federally listed species known to occur in Durham County.

Please give a brief project description below. * On behalf of our client, the City of Durham, Kimley-Horn is submitting this pre -filing meeting request for the proposed Lakewood Avenue Sewer Replacement project. The Project is situated north of Lakewood Avenue and east of S. Duke Street in the Jordan Lake Watershed in Durham, Durham County, NC. The area surrounding the project is largely urban, with scattered undeveloped forested land, residential housing, and commercial development. The proposed project plans to replace the undersized 12-inch sanitary sewer running along Lakewood Avenue between Roxboro Street and University Drive and restore a section of stream S4 (see Figure 3). It is anticipated that the project will qualify for authorization under NWP 3 (Maintenance), NWP 58 (Utility Line Activities for Water and Other Substances), and/or NWP 27 (Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Enhancement, and Establishment Activities). A Riparian Buffer Authorization is also anticipated for riparian buffer encroachments. The existing sanitary sewer line crossing is exposed and restricting flow within stream S4. Due to the surveyed depths of an adjacent culvert and the downstream sewer depth constraints, the sewer was unable to be relocated from the current stream crossing location. The proposed sewer replacement would perpendicularly cross beneath the channel of Stream S4 to avoid stream disturbance. As part of the project, the eroded stream will be restored using natural channel design after the sanitary sewer line has been installed. The proposed stream repair will include the grading of damaged and unstable stream banks to match natural channel contours, the placement of rip rap and boulder toe protection along the stream banks to provide stabilization, and the construction of riffles composed of logs and rip rap within the stream to establish grade control, facilitate sediment transport, and enhance aquatic species habitat. As part of the stream repair, vegetated soil lifts will be completed in some areas along the existing sidewalk to promote vegetation establishment and restore the overall function of the riparian buffers. Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting. Please attach the documentation you would like to have the meeting about.

The proposed stream repair will include the grading of damaged and unstable stream banks to match natural channel contours, the placement of rip rap and boulder toe protection along the stream banks to provide stabilization, and the construction of riffles composed of logs and rip rap within the stream to establish grade control, facilitate sediment transport, and enhance aquatic species habitat. As part of the stream repair, vegetated soil lifts will be completed in some areas along the existing sidewalk to promote vegetation establishment and restore the overall function of the riparian buffers. Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting. Please attach the documentation you would like to have the meeting about.
