RE: Nationwide Permit 39 Application — West Pettigrew Street Parking Deck
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer and Ms. Higgins:
20151326
On behalf of our client, Wexford Chesterfield Parking, LLC, Kimley-Horn is submitting the attached
application for authorization under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39 for the above referenced project in
Durham County. Wexford Chesterfield Parking, LLC is proposing to construct the West Pettigrew
Street Parking Deck project within an area of mostly paved lots, abandoned residential lots, and a
building material storage property between a NC Railroad Company corridor and NC 147. The 4.2 -acre
project area (Site) is situated in an area that was previously residential but is now largely
commerciaUndustrial in nature adjacent of the NC 147 corridor through Durham. The Site is bounded by S
Gregson Street to the east, the railroad to the north, NC147 to the west, and Burch Avenue the south.
There are two abandoned residential structures on the Site with small areas of disturbed v &M AaM
Land use in the vicinity of the site consists of a mix of high density residential housing, co !�aA
�
shopping, and industrial development.
2 q 2015
The proposed project would construct a 5 -level (ground plus 4 elevated levels) concrete p ure,
containing 716 total parking spaces. Eighteen of these spaces are accessible to accomm daTER RESOUR(
accessibleparking requirements of the parking deck and Site. The overall parking structu FFER PERmlrn
approximately 47' 0" measured from ground level to the finished floor of Level P5. The height from the
ground level to the first elevated level is anticipated to be a minimum of 12'6" in order to provide a
minimum clearance of 8'2" to allow for ADA Van accessibility and to consider any retail space
requirements. Above this, the typical floor -to -floor height is anticipated to be 11' 6" in order to provide a
minimum clearance of 8'0".
The single jurisdictional feature within the Site is an intermittent stormwater-driven channel (S1) that
drains to Ellerbe Creek after draining through thousands of feet of stormwater drainage pipe network.
S1 was evaluated in the field and found to be severely degraded. The watershed upstream of the Site
primarily consists of NC 147 drainage and the substrate within S1 was found to be primarily brick,
rock, and asphalt with glass, trash, and debris fragments throughout the stream channel substrate.
Water quality was heavily degraded as well, with the stream channel observed to be choked with
919 677 2000

algae growth, murky/cloudy water, and a thick sheen throughout the stream reach. The banks were
failing along the stream reach, and multiple sections of culvert were lying in the streambed at the
downstream end of the property due to erosion undermining the culvert inlet over time. S1 is piped
well above and below the Site, and S1 is a brief 159 LF reach of daylighted stormwater drainage
channel. S1 would be placed into a pipe as a result of the proposed construction. Using the NC
Stream Assessment Method version 2 (NCSAM), S1 is a low quality, size 1, intermittent piedmont
stream. S1 scores out as an 18 on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet. Because of
the severely degraded nature of S1, and the low quality designations supported by NCSAM and the
USACE stream worksheet, no mitigation is proposed for the 159 LF of impact that would result from
the proposed construction.
Stream S1 is likely a man-made stormwater ditch that experiences periods of high flow due to the
developed nature of the watershed and the extensive stormwater drainage system upstream of the
Site, but S1 is not shown on the most recent USGS Topographic Map or the NRCS Soil Survey of
Durham County. S1 is therefore not subject to riparian buffer rules. No protected riparian buffers will
be impacted by the proposed project.

stormwater feature that briefly daylights between a large stormwater pipe system leading from NC 147 to Ellerbe Creek. S1
receives periods of high flow following rain events but the substrate is primarly rack and brick from nearby railroad and
abandoned partially demolished residential lots. The stream is heavily degraded and much of the substrate is broken glass,
trash, and other debris. S1 exits the Site via a failed culvert crossing. Multiple sections are laying in the stream channel with

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed project location was carefully selected to utilize as much upland or previously developed area as practical within
a larger developed area of Durham. The proposed parking deck will pipe Stream S1 through the project area, however Stream
S1 is heavily degraded and piped for a significant length above and below the project area. Piping the remaining daylighted
channel will ensure that the trash, debris, glass, and remnant building materials do not continue to discharge into the stream
system leading to Ellerbe Creek. The pipe will also be properly sized to convey storm events without further erosion,
preventing further downstream sedimentation impacts resulting from the failed culvert crossing at the downstream end of the
property.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Due to the careful site selection within a larger upland and previously developed area of Durham, the majority of the
construction will occur in uplands and non -jurisdictional areas. Impacts to streams, wetlands, and riparian buffers offsite in the
project vicinity will be avoided and minimized throughout the construction process by locating staging and construction access
in existing developed areas, uplands, and road corridors where practical. Silt fencing will be installed around the permitted
limits of distrubance to ensure all equipment is located within the project corridor at all times. Stormwater Control Measures
will be used to reduce stormwater impacts to receiving waters and minimze runoff from the construction sites.

status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b.
What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
According to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS Service (Accessed August 11, 2015),
there are numerous National Register and Study List historic structures and district boundaries within 1.0 mile of the site
boundary. However, the site is not within a historic district and there are no National Register or Study List structures
within the site boundary. The proposed parking deck will not be constructed higher than 5 levels to an approximate height
of 47' as measured from ground level to the finished floor of level P5. The project is also adjacent to NC 147 and a
railroad crossing, both of which are significantly elevated above the ground surface of the project area. Therefore, no
impacts to historic properties or districts are anticipated.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 18
