Oglethope Ave. Savannah, GA 31401 Re: USACE Project # SAC-2022-02166 Request for Additional Information Response Applicant: Moses H Cone Memorial Hospital Terracon Project No. EN237279 Ms. Stock, om ierracon On behalf of the Moses H Cone Memorial Hospital, Terracon is pleased to respond to you request for additional information received October 24, 2023. Your comments, and the response is provided below. 1. The impact numbers provided in the PCN table (i.e. 1, 4, S1, and S2) do not correspond with impact exhibits (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4). Please correct this. Response: Please see the revised permit drawings with corrected impact labels. 2. Exhibits are not detailed enough to review the project as proposed. Please provide more detailed impact exhibits. Response: Please see the revised permit drawings with additional project impact information. 3. Temporary Wetland Impact 2: The total temporary impact reported is eight square feet. The explanation provided is that a 6-inch line would extend across 16 linear feet of wetland. We understand the area of pipe to be installed would be eight square feet, but it is not clear how would this line would be installed. Please expand on this impact and review other impacts reported in the PCN to ensure temporary disturbances (e.g. trench, construction corridor, permanent maintained corridor, etc. are clear). Response: The revised temporary wetland impact 2 will have a total temporary impact of 247 square feet (0.006-acres) for temporary clearing of vegetation and access for construction of the new forcemain sewer line. The forcemain will be installed via a narrow open cut trench approximately 36" deep through the center of the 20-foot-wide sewer easement across Comment Responses CHMC Asheboro ■ Randolph County, North Carolina , erracon December 13, 2023 ■ SAC-2022-02166 the 16 linear foot long wetland. The trench will be backfilled and grade restored to the original conditions once the pipe is in place. The entire 20- foot-wide sewer easement will be temporarily cleared of vegetation by hand during construction but will be allowed to revegetate naturally. 4. How would construction access across, and beyond, Tributaries T2 and T3 be accomplished? Response: Temporary construction access across the tributaries will be performed by installing a temporary, 18" for S1 and 20" inch for S2, culvert in the tributary channel within the temporary access footprint for equipment to drive across the tributaries. Stone will be installed over the top of the culverts to create a temporary driving surface. Sheet 6 of 6 of the revised permit drawings includes details of the temporary tributary crossings. The culverts and associated materials be removed when construction is complete and the grade will be restored to original conditions. During construction BMPs such as the installation of silt fencing will be utilized to prevent erosion. 5. The proposed sewer line extends south and off the impact exhibits. Please provide an exhibit that demonstrates no additional impact would be required to complete this project. Response: See Sheet 2 of 6 of the revised permit drawings showing the terminus of the new sewer line southeast of the site where it will tie into an existing sanitary sewer manhole. 6. Please expand on the ultimate number and type of users this sewer line would support. We need to establish whether independent utility exists for this project. Response: The sewer line is designed to only support the proposed Cone Health Medical Center development on the Cone Health parcel and no other development is planned which would utilize the proposed sewer forcemain line. 7. Wetland Impact 1, road construction, is limited to permanent impacts required for the road footprint. Would any temporary disturbance be required to build this road? Would any permanent wetland conversion (clearing) occur? Response: Temporary impacts are not required for this road widening. The access road currently exists but needs to be widened to support the construction and maintenance of the proposed force main and pump Comment Responses CHMC Asheboro ■ Randolph County, North Carolina , erracon December 13, 2023 ■ SAC-2022-02166 station. The permanent fill area indicated on the plans would be disturbed for permanent fill to create a wider road surface and any trees within that area to be filled will be removed as well prior to installing the fill. The remaining wetlands are outside the limits of disturbance and not proposed to be disturbed. 8) Because this sewer line is not a gravity -dependent utility, no -impact alignments are likely possible to complete the project. Please discuss any considerations made when planning this project. Response: The public gravity sewer line that will receive flow from the proposed force main is located south of McDowell Creek on the City Asheboro Public School property and the pump station is located on the north side of McDowell Creek. Therefore, all of the potential force main alignments would cross McDowell Creek. Secondly, the forcemain alignment options through the City of Asheboro Public School property were limited based on proximity to buildings, students, athletic fields, etc. and required the forcemain to cross I-74 in the proposed location. HDD and jack and bore installation methods were considered but the access area in the wetland needs to be cleared regardless of the installation method to allow access during construction. Therefore, a narrow open cut trench was determined to be most feasible method resulting in limited impacts. Stimmel 601 N.
