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 project is located in Old English Downs Subdivision at 1100 Old English Court, Raleigh, North Carolina. An unnamed tributary to West Fork Mine Creek (UT WF Mine Creek) is
located in the back yard of the property. The outside of a meander bend in the stream is currently actively eroding and migrating towards the existing house structure. Approximately 170
linear feet of stream have been identified for repair and improvement through the City of Raleigh Drainage Assistance Program.
The eastern stream/terrace eroding bank adjacent to the house extends to a maximum height of 9 feet and is within 1 foot of an existing deck and 13 feet of an existing structure. Based on
a review of the existing contours and gradual slopes on the eastern side of the stream, it appears that fill was placed within the floodplain when the lot was developed. A sharp ninety -
degree bend is located approximately mid -way in the lot. The fill has restricted floodplain access to stormwater flows resulting in higher shear stress in the channel and severe bank
erosion. Cross sections of the channel were taken to quantify the morphological data. Two sections were taken upstream of the repair area, three sections within the repair area and three
sections downstream. The cross sections obtained were comprised of both riffle and pool sections. The data was collected to establish bankfull channel characteristics and quantify the
stream slope, 0.010 ft/ft. The eastern floodplain is wooded, and stream bank is generally stable within the repair area. The western floodplain is inaccessible to flood flow due to fill and is
also wooded south of the 90-degree bend. The north western bank is wooded however the floodplain has less vegetation due to the proximity of the house and the associated yard.
A document titled Morphological data has been uploaded with this PCN application. The following tables along with the morphological cross sections and longitudinal profile are included in
this document. The watershed to the project site has a drainage area of approximately 0.56 square miles. The regional curve data for a watershed of this size is listed in Table A. The
project reach within the repair area classified as slightly entrenched E4/C4 stream. The morphological data included in Table B, was obtained from surveyed cross sections at riffle
locations."
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
DWR # 20201340
SAW-2021-00055
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:
502
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to restore the stability of the western bank and terrace slope adjacent to the existing structure. The impacts that will occur on the stream and associated
buffers are to repair a small section of stream bank with boulder toe and soil lift installation for stabilization and grading/benching of the adjacent stream bank.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Stream Bank Grading and Benching:
The stream alignment will be shifted to a more stable configuration by adjusting both curves in the corridor so that there is less shear stress on the banks. Along with the stream alignment
changes the southern floodplain will be graded to allow for better access of storm flows to the floodplain during larger than bankfull events. Because the stream pattern will continue to
have a severe direction change the floodplain connection is important to reduce shear stress on the western bank by allowing these flows to pass over the floodplain instead of being
contained to the channel.
The stream bank corridor within the repair area will be re -vegetated within all disturbed areas. The re -introduction of vegetation to the graded channel banks will aid in providing long term
bank stability. The vegetation will be a combination of native herbaceous and woody shrub plant species within the easement. The stabilized banks and re -vegetated corridor will
additionally provide stormwater quality benefits.
Stream Bank Stabilization:
Due to the location of the existing structure a design requiring a structural design utilizing boulder toe and soil lifts is proposed. The boulders are designed to step up from a bankfull
floodplain elevation to the current terrace elevation. This design incorporates the removal of soil from the floodplain with grading at a 3H:1 V slope and optimal flood flow access. The first
boulder will be installed below the stream toe. The subsequent boulder layers will be installed on top of the first row in an alternating pattern to ensure that boulder connections on the first
layer are spanned with the boulders on the top row. Structural fill will be used in the bank reconstruction immediately behind the boulders and then existing site soils will be used to fill the
remaining area.

S1: Stream stabilization will be provided on the bank through reconstruction to a typical channel cross section, rock toe reinforcement in reconstructed
areas, and installation of erosion control matting and riffle construction. S2: Permanent stream stabilization provided on the west side stream bank
through a boulder toe system due to the close proximity of the structure.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation O
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
This project is necessary due to the severe erosion in close proximity to an existing structure. The repair improves water quality by stabilizing the bank
and prevent additional sediment transport into the stream. The project will be limited to the eroded bank only with minimal transitions areas up and
downstream. Gabion cages and soil/vegetative stabilization techniques was selected to stabilize the stream bank. The limits of disturbance have been
minimized to only the area needed to construct the repairs. Impacts to the stream buffer will be minimized by accessing the site through a narrow
corridor and protecting as much existing vegetation as possible.

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Pumping of normal stream flow be maintained and pumped around the site during construction activities. Bank stabilization, covering the slope with
riparian seed and coir matting, erosion control mating will occur daily upon completion of bank grading.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
