HomeMy WebLinkAbout20231596 Ver 1_DWR RFAI_20240129Hello,
I am currently reviewing the application for Town of Cary Dredging Project at Symphony Lake (DWR#20231596), and I am curious if an updated impact map was provided that I may be missing
(per the 1/17/24 email below). The most recent version that I have been able to find in my email is the one attached above that has comments made in blue. If an updated copy has been
created, please send one for review and I will file it in our records.
It also appears that a Nationwide Permit 14 is being utilized instead of the requested NWP3 in the application. Since I was not part of the 1/8/24 meeting, I just want to confirm I
am reviewing under the correct corresponding permits.
Additionally, it appears that the impacts have been reduced:
* 4 acres of open water dredging – Please describe in more detail how the dewatering process will occur.
* 21 LF of permenant stream impact for gabion repair – Is this occurring only within the current greenway footprint? Please confirm which table of use item this is falling under: 15A
NCAC 02B .0714 (11) (XX) (XX)
* 20 LF of temporary stream impact for road crossing access
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.
Thank you,

Hello Everyone –
After submitting the revised information, we realized that on the attached file, although the new stockpile location is included, the old stockpile symbology and temporary crossing information
are still included. We had described the revision in the updated PCN, but had not updated this drawing. We are working to update the E&SC plans and contractor plans to show the new
proposed design. However, we wanted to provided a slightly updated version of the drawing to note the changes that are being made that are not currently shown. These include:
1. The temporary crossing shown is no longer correct. It is no longer on new alignment and will now be a bridge over the existing pedestrian bridge. The Submittal #2, Abutment Protection
pdf that was provided shows the temporary crossing that is to be permitted, including proposed perm. impacts resulting from this new design.
2. The rip rap, silt fence, and limits of disturbance still show the originally proposed stockpile area. However, since then the stockpile has been reduced to eliminate wetland impacts
(outlined in red). The rip rap, silt fence, and limits of disturbance will be revised to match the new stockpile location.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Thanks and have a great day,
Jim

Hello All,
Thanks again for taking the time on Monday to discuss this project with us. Jim visited the site and found a small portion of the wetland could be removed. However, the contractor has
decided they can proceed without any wetland impacts. Please see attached the updated PCN, updated site plans, and the drawings for the stream crossing. I will also send this information
through the DWR portal for official purposes. I can send the updated wetland figure and photos separately, as the files are large (and I will include them on the portal as well).
Please let me know if there are any other details that I have missed.
Thank you again,
Nancy

Hi All,
I wanted to provide the updated information about the proposed crossing that I mentioned in my email on Tuesday. Please see the attached info from the contractor. In summary, the new
impact to the stream would be a permanent impact, totaling 21 lf of stream (previously applied for 38 lf of temporary stream impact). The permanent impacts are due to the instability
of the existing bridge and the fact that the gabions would be left in as permanent support. However, the buffer impact would be eliminated (previously applied for 3,120 sqft of BZ1
and 2,017 sqft of BZ2), as the approach would be within the existing approach and would require no tree clearing (see note below that 1-2 trees may be taken down to the stump).
Below is from the contractor:
“Drawings are on pages 3-5 of the attached document. Sheet 4 prescribes the gabion install for abutment protection. There will be 7 each 3’ X 1’ X 6’ gabions on each side of the bridge.
They will be roughly 1.5’ into the stream at observed regular creek stage. Impact of the gabions themselves per side is 7 each times 3’ long time 6’ wide or 126 SF. Round up to 150
SF to 200 SF and include both sides and you are looking at impacts of 300 to 400 SF. We would recommend that these be permanent as does your on call structural engineer I believe.
Drawing 5 shows temporary earth pressure shoring for the abutments. All of that work should be on the bank of the stream. If that is located in the buffer, those impacts would be approximately
200 SF on each side of the bridge for a total of 400 SF.
Only other impact would be construction of the approach to the bridge on either side. Width of the road would be approximately 15’. By my calculations, we should be well below the
2,500 SF for temporary roads.
We will be doing some tree trimming to facilitate installation, but no wholesale tree clearing. May involve taking a tree or two down to the stump.”
Please let us know if you have any further questions or would like to discuss any of this.
Thank you,
Nancy

Hi Alexi & Chris,
Please below responses (in green) to the comments that Alexi provided. The Town and the designer have reworked their plan to reduce the size of the wetland impact from 0.26 acre to 0.05
acre. See attached updated plan sheets showing the adjusted staging area. As you’ll see on the updated plan sheets, they are also working on avoiding the temporary stream impacts by
utilizing the existing pedestrian bridge. This would require only minor temporary stream impacts and would eliminate the need for riparian buffer impacts.
Please let us know if any further clarification is needed. As Jim mentioned, we would be happy to have a call/Teams meeting to discuss any of this with folks.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Nancy
1. The disposal site, a lagoon south of the South Cary Wastewater Treatment Plant, is .85 acre in size. Four acres of sediment (12,400 cubic yards) would be placed there. The application
further states that material would not be placed within 1-foot of the crest of the lagoon’s surrounding dike. Please verify that the lagoon will be capable of receiving all dredged
material. Are secondary disposal locations also being considered?
Based on a conservative estimate of the capacity within the lagoon, leaving one foot of freeboard, there is sufficient capacity to receive all of the material we are likely to be able
to dredge within the time constraints of this project.
2. There appear to be significant waters surrounding the lagoon. Have delineations been conducted in these areas? What measures are proposed to ensure no impact to adjacent waters
results?
All work will be conducted within the footprint of the former lagoon and from high ground areas around the lagoon. Access is via an existing gravel roadway. The lagoon area and access
road are all elevated a minimum of five feet above all forested and wetland areas, and are part of the operational footprint of the wastewater treatment facility that has been on the
site and operating since the early 1990s.
3. How will material be moved from the spillway dredge area to the temporary storage area?
The material will dredged using hydraulic methods and pumped into the mechanical dewatering facility. Once dewatered, the material will be trucked to the disposal area.
4. The application states that alternative lands to the south are residential but Wake County iMaps documents a large upland forest area is shown owned by GI ETS Regency Woods.
Please detail why these uplands are not usable in lieu of clearing forested wetland for dredge storage.
The property discussed in the comment is not owned or controlled by the Town of Cary. The project as proposed is being conducted entirely on land owned by the Town. In addition, this
property has extremely steep topography (see map) and would require extensive grading to be usable as a staging area. Also, trucks would not be able to negotiate the 90-degree turn
that would be required to access the section of greenway that leads out of the site. In addition, this would necessitate addressing another pedestrian greenway bridge (installing another
temporary bridge that would allow truck traffic).
<image001.png>
5. The application states that live-staking with saplings would occur if required in the future. Please explain how this requirement would be triggered, when in the future the
decision would be made, and why replacing woody vegetation once complete is not currently proposed.
The cleared areas will be seeded and strawed to stabilize them after work is complete. The cleared wetland area will be seeded with wetland seed mix. Cary will replant the site with
a mix of hardwood trees in winter of 2024-2025 (dormant season).
6. The avoidance and minimization discussion doesn’t discuss wetland impacts for dredge spoil. Please explain why clearing a forested wetland for dredge spoil is required, when
the town owns both the Koka Booth property (uplands), and the existing greenway trail (which presumably could be temporarily detoured/closed).
Any impacts due to stockpiling of dredge spoil will be temporary. The revised plan shows the proposed temporary stockpile area has been reduced in size, as has the wetland impacted.

Thank you for the email, Nancy:
The Corps’ position on this project is that it does not yet qualify for use of the (any) requested permit. Avoidance and minimization have not been adequately addressed. We regret the
situation your client finds themselves in, but our process must be completed in advance of any work in waters. Please ensure they are aware that an after-the-fact permit for work on
this project as proposed would be a heavy lift, and mitigation at a minimum of 2:1 for all impacts associated with the work, and a detailed restoration plan for disturbed resources,
would be considered. As proposed, the project would set a concerning precedent in our area of responsibility.
Please also convey our commitment to working with them as fairly and expeditiously as possible, within the limits of our program. We hope they do not choose to proceed knowing that proper
authorizations have not been secured.
Apologies for jumping in, Alexi, but this situation is unique in the TREC’s experience.

Ms. Capito,
As you may be aware, we have recently submitted an ePCN for the subject project. The client has informed us that, due to the finances of the project, the project will be let for bid
in the near future. This means that construction work may need to begin before you have had time to issue the permit. We are wondering if we could get your general approval for the
impacts as they are presented. Alternatively, we could ask for the permit to be issued as an after-the-fact.
Please let us know how you would like us to proceed given this new information.
Thank you,
