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: "
Existing land use is residential and is not expected to be affected by project work. The land cover for the stream stabilization project is heavily wooded, the banks are steep. Access is
limited. The majority of the stream length within the project lie within the residential lots. The stream is protected by an NCDEQ Tar -Pamlico Buffer and is a blue -line stream. Total acreage
within the area of disturbance is about 2.74 acres.
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:
0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
1350
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Stabilize an eroded and eroding, incised stream.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The work will include excavators removing soil to achieve a supportive bed for installation of a permanent bank stabilization product. The product is a Filtrexx sock type product that is filled
with soil and seeded. vegetation grows through the product to create a root mat to hold the banks in place and resist the velocities created. Temporary pumping and isolation of the work
areas will be used in stages to protect the work areas during construction.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes No Q Unknown

6i. Comments:
Regrading of banks where Bank Stability Investigation shows an unstable existing bank. Protect the regraded slopes with a geotextile sox seeded with
plants designed to enhance bank stability with a new plant root mat. Selectively cut trees where required to install the sock type vegetative mat.
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:
An erosion control plan will include isolating and pumping around disturbed areas to minimize potential for sedimentation. Trees are only cut where
required to establish a stable slope and replant with stabilizing geotextile sock containing soil and seed mixture. Avoid picking up or concentrating
stormwater. The only piping is the replacement of existing culvert outlets to match the new bank profile. No new culverts on this proect.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction includes a set of berms and pumps to maintain a bypass of stream flow around disturbed banks to avoid sediment transport. Trees are cut
only where grading is required. Growth sock geotextile will have plantings grow through it to establish a root system mat and provide a vegetated bank to
slow runoff to the channel and minimize erosion. All disturbed areas to be vegetated with compatible species to develop stabilizing root mat.
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?
Yes No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The buffers will remain functional after the project completion and in fact the vegetated banks will offer environmental benefit over the existing denuded or eroded banks.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
I
a

Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
