4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:
The site is primarily a maintained airport. The Wayne Executive Jetport is drained by multiple ditches and an aging network of stormwater culverts. Stands of wooded area exist within
airport property. Area in the vicinity of the airport is primarily agricultural and low density residential.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
545
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The Wayne Executive Jetport is drained by multiple ditches and an aging network of stormwater culverts. Localized erosion occurs in some ditches and CCTV investigations documented
failure in some of the corrugated metal pipe sections. Sedimentation in the ditches has reduced gradients and created negative slopes in some areas, retarding hydraulic efficiency. A
mapped stream that receives flow from multiple ditches leaves the airport property at the western side of the facility and enters a tributary to Stoney Creek. In this area, an old pond is a
potential waterfowl attractant, and the existing tree line is a safety hazard. The design criterion for the project is the 10-year 24-hour storm event. At a minimum, all stream, ditch, and
culvert improvements will be designed to convey the runoff from this event. Drainage ditches on the airport property will have banks laid back, regraded and grassed to reduce erosion
from hydraulic failure and channel flows. In some cases pipes will be upsized and replaced or be removed entirely to promote efficient drainage away from the airport. The purpose of the
project is to improve stormwater drainage from the airport.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:'
The Wayne Executive Jetport is drained by multiple ditches and an aging network of stormwater culverts. Localized erosion occurs in several ditches and evidence of failure was observed
in some of the corrugated metal pipes (CMPs), including CCTV inspections. Sedimentation in the ditches has reduced gradients and created negative slopes in some areas, retarding
hydraulic efficiency. Regrading ditches is necessary to restore hydraulic efficiency and stabilize eroding banks.
Impacts to Stoney Creek will result from the stabilization of 90 LF of bank (S1; 90 LF; to be permitted under NWP 13) from the removal and replacement of an existing pipe with larger, 25
LF/54" wide corrugated metal pipe (S2, 4 LF/0.004 ac.; to be permitted under NWP 3), and restoration of 343 LF of stream channel using natural channel design techniques (S3; to be
permitted under NWP 27). Buried riffle grade control is proposed to stabilize the non -jurisdictional ditch at its confluence with the newly restored section of stream (See impact figures). No
impacts to waters will result. Removal of existing loblolly pine trees from Neuse buffer zones 1 and 2 will be necessary to both support restoration activities and to comply with FAA safety
requirements as these are adjacent to the west end of the runway (1,045 sq ft in Zone 1; 3,049 sq ft in Zone 2).
The pipe that outlets at the upstream jurisdictional limit of Stoney Creek will also be removed to improve the stability of the newly restored and stabilized Stoney Creek and stormwater
drainage efficiency. Two 50' sections of channel will be daylighted and constructed with similar dimensions as the restored tributary. A boulder toe will be installed as the base of banks of
both channels to ensure lateral stability at the confluence (See impact figures).
Bank stabilization (S1) will be done to support the installation of the new pipe, and the restoration of Stoney Creek will result in Pond A being converted to previously existing stream
channel (P1, 0.1 ac.). Pond A is an in -line palustrine open water that formed from the excess deposition of sediment due to the existing undersized pipe at its downstream terminus. In
addition to anticipated hydrologic benefits, Pond A is also a safety hazard as it is a waterfowl attractant. Replacement of this pipe and subsequent restoration of the UT to Stoney Creek
upstream will allow the restored system to safely carry flows from the 10 year storm event away from Wayne Jet Port. This activity is a voluntary enhancement that will result in improved
aquatic and riparian habitat functionality by restoring natural bedform diversity as documented by a certified North Carolina NRCS technical service provider (see attached documentation).
All proposed activities will improve safety for aviators.

regular vegetation maintenance. As per Neuse Buffer regulations, no mitigation is required.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Only impact S2 will result in a loss of waters (41f/0.0004 ac.). Stabilization and restoration activities aim to enhance stream function and use natural
channel design techniques (see attached memo from USDA-NRCS Technical Service Provider). Buffer impacts are minimal and necessary to maintain
line of site, as per FAA regulations.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Stream restoration and channel stabilization will be achieved via natural design techniques and all areas within the LOD will be stabilized and re -planted
where necessary.
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?
