Hi Jacob,
That may satisfy the 401 condition if there is no grubbing/clearing within the 10ft, but it would be easier for me to
understand if there were sewer line construction drawings you could provide. These do not need to be complete plans;
they would just need to provide more detail in respect to the two areas of concern I highlighted so I can better
understand the proposed impacts.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Best,

Kristina,
Thanks for taking my call earlier today and for the clarification related to comment 4. You are correct that we are
proposing Zone 1 buffer mitigation for that area. We will discuss and provide additional justification related to the
GC4276 Activity Specific Condition #2 at those locations. Would it satisfy the requirement if the maintenance corridor
remains where it is, for access purposes, but the trenching will take place beyond 10-feet from top -of -bank?
Thank you,

Hi Jacob,
In reference to the two areas we spoke about earlier where it looks like the construction corridor is less than 10 feet
from top of bank (image attached) it appears that the impacts may be covered for the buffer by paying mitigation.
However, there is a condition (attached) for the 401 permit that would require you provide justification as to why this
10ft corridor cannot be maintained. In your response, please provide justification for this and please confirm which
areas trenching will occur. There is a concern for bank destabilization if trenching is occurring within 10ft of the stream.

Hello Jennifer,
I have reviewed the above noted application and require additional information to continue my review. Please provide a
response to the items below within 30 days of this email. Please note that the application will be considered "on hold"
until a complete response is received.
1. For the main Road Crossing, please provide more details regarding avoidance and minimization of impacts S3
and S2 for this project. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)]
a. It seems that the area selected intersects two streams and results in another being completely filled in.
b. There also appears to be potential indirect impacts to channel 200 (Impact S3) as water flow is cut off
from the wetland.
2. Please provide cross section details showing the provisions for aquatic life passage; the culvert must be buried
appropriately. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
3. Please provide detailed plans for restoration for temporary impacts, similar to those provided for Pump Around.
[15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
4. Please provide an updated site map for buffer impacts that clearly shows the scale so that 10ft construction
corridor can be verified. It was stated that the corridor would be maintained but the provided maps do not allow
me to confirm this (Detail 4: Pg 5 of Buffer Impacts Map). [15A NCAC 02T .0305 (f)]
5. It appears that the permanent maintenance corridor is greater than 30ft (Buffer Impact Detail 1: Pg2) could you
please provide details, along with the table of use item in reference, to clarify this?
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding these items.
Thank you,
