MEMORANDUM To: Brad Kerr - Director of Public Works - City of Rocky Mount CC: Leonard McBride - WithersRavenel From: Rick Trone Date: 2/20/2024 Project: Thomas Betts Peele Aerial Sewer Subject: 404/401/Riparian Buffer Permitting - Non-Notifying Authorization This memorandum is in reference to the USACE 404 and NCDWR 401/Riparian Buffer permitting requirements for installation of an aerial sewer extension located within the existing right of way along Thomas A. Betts Parkway in Rocky Mount, Nash County, NC. WithersRavenel (WR) completed a formal delineation of the wetlands, streams,and riparian buffers for the proposed alignment on 6/15/2023 (see attached Wetland/Buffer Delineation Exhibit). The proposed alignment will result in perpendicular crossing of wetlands, as well as perpendicular crossing of Hornbeam Branch,which is subject to Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffers. USACE 404 Approval The proposed aerial sewer line is eligible for 404 authorization under the USACE Nationwide Permit 58 (NWP 58)for Utility Line Activities(see attached). Per the conditions requiring notification under NWP 58, submittal of a pre-construction notification(PCN)to the USACE prior to commencing the activity is required if: 1) A section 10 permit is required - Not applicable. There are no Section 10 waters within the review area. 2) The discharge will result in the loss of greater than 1110-acre of waters of the United States - The proposed installation of the aerial sewer line will cross Wetlands C and D. The aerial sewer crossing will be supported by reinforced concrete piers, four of which will be constructed within the wetlands, resulting in 0.003 ac (144 sf) of permanent wetland impacts. There are no proposed impacts to Hornbeam Branch as the aerial sewer will span the entirety of Hornbeam Branch. Therefore,the proposed project will not result in a "loss"of greater than 1/10-acre of waters of the US. The proposed aerial sewer line construction does not meet the NWP 58 conditions requiring submittal of a PCN. The proposed project qualifies for a non-notifying NWP 58 and submittal of a PCN to, or receipt of written authorization from the USACE is not required. NCDWR 401 Approval The proposed aerial sewer line construction is eligible for 401 authorization under NCDWR Water Quality General Certification No.4276(WQC 4276)for Utility Lines. Per general conditions of WQC 4276,written authorization from NCDWR is required if the activity meets any one of the following thresholds or circumstances: b) Total temporary impacts to streams greater than 500 feet within the entire utility project - The proposed project will not result in any permanent stream impacts. c) Any permanent impacts to streams - There are no proposed permanent stream impacts. 115 MacKenan Drive I Cary, NC 27511 t: 919.469.3340 1 f: 919.467.6008 1 www.withersravenel.com I License No. F-1479 Asheville I Cary I Charlotte I Greensboro I Pittsboro I Raleigh I Southern Pines I Wilmington Thomas Betts Peel Aerial Sewer 10 WithersRavenel Rocky Mount, Nash Co Our People.Your Success. d) Total permanent impacts to wetlands or open waters equal to or greater than one-tenth (1/10) acre within the entire utility project - Not applicable. The construction of the reinforced concrete piers to support the aerial sewer line will result in 0.003 ac (144 sf) of permanent wetland impacts. Therefore,the proposed project will not result in a "loss"of greater than 1/10-acre to wetlands and no impacts to open waters. e) Any stream restoration or stream relocation - Not applicable f) Any high-density project,as defined in 15A NCAC 02H.1003(3)and by the density thresholds specified in 15A NCACO2H.1017,(which meets sub-conditions i,ii,iii,iv)- Not applicable.The proposed project is not a high-density project. g) Any permanent impacts to waters,or wetlands adjacent to water,designated as:ORW(including SAV), HQW (including PNA), SA, WS-1, WS-II or North Carolina or National Wild and Scenic River - Not Applicable. h) Anypermanent impacts to coastal wetlands or Unique Wetlands(UWQ - Not Applicable. j) Any impacts to subject water bodies and/or state regulated riparian buffers along subject water bodies in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin unless: i. The activities are listed as "Exempt" or "Deemed Allowable" from these rules - The proposed project is located within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin and the stream to be crossed by the sewer line is subject to Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffers. The aerial sewer line crossing will not require a construction corridor or a permanently maintained easement because the line will be located entirely within the existing maintained road right of way. Sewer lines fall under the "use" classification of "Utility Lines-Sewer Lines-New Line Construction/Installation Activities-Perpendicular Crossings" in the Table of Uses in the 2020 Tar- Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules. Per the Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules Table of Uses, perpendicular crossings of streams with a construction corridor of less than or equal to 40 linear feet wide and a permanent maintenance corridor that is equal to or less than 30 feet wide is classified as "Deemed Allowable" (see attached excerpt from Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules Table of Uses). Therefore,the proposed stream/buffer crossings for the water line installation are "Deemed Allowable". Since the proposed aerial sewer line crossing is"Deemed Allowable",the project does not meet the notification requirements under this condition. The proposed aerial sewer line construction does not meet any conditions requiring written authorization from NCDWR, and therefore does not require submittal of a PCN to, nor receipt of written authorization from NCDWR. Based on the information provided above,the proposed project does not require written authorization from the USACE nor NCDWR. Therefore, construction may begin at any time and coordination with the USACE nor NCDWR is not required prior to construction.

USACE NWP 58 Excerpt Nationwide Permit 58 Utility Line Activities for Water and Other Substances Effective Date: March 15, 2021 / Expiration Date: March 14, 2026 Authorities: Sections 10 and 404 Activities required for the construction, maintenance, repair, and removal of utility lines for water and other substances, excluding oil, natural gas, products derived from oil or natural gas, and electricity. Oil or natural gas pipeline activities or electric utility line and telecommunications activities may be authorized by NWPs 12 or 57, respectively. This NWP also authorizes associated utility line facilities in waters of the United States, provided the activity does not result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States for each single and complete project. Utility lines: This NWP authorizes discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States and structures or work in navigable waters for crossings of those waters associated with the construction, maintenance, or repair of utility lines for water and other substances, including outfall and intake structures. There must be no change in pre-construction contours of waters of the United States. A "utility line" is defined as any pipe or pipeline for the transportation of any gaseous, liquid, liquescent, or slurry substance, forany purpose that is not oil, natural gas, or petrochemicals. Examples of activities authorized by this NWP include utility lines that convey water, sewage, stormwater, wastewater, brine, irrigation water, and industrial products that are not petrochemicals. The term "utility line" does not include activities that drain a water of the United States, such as drainage tile or french drains, but it does apply to pipes conveying drainage from another area. Material resulting from trench excavation may be temporarily sidecast into waters of the United States for no more than three months, provided the material is not placed in such a manner that it is dispersed by currents or other forces. The district engineer may extend the period of temporary side casting for no more than a total of 180 days, where appropriate. In wetlands, the top 6 to 12 inches of the trench should normally be backfilled with topsoil from the trench. The trench cannot be constructed or backfilled in such a manner as to drain waters of the United States (e.g., backfilling with extensive gravel layers, creating a french drain effect).Any exposed slopes and stream banks must be stabilized immediately upon completion of the utility line crossing of each waterbody. Utility line substations: This NWP authorizes the construction, maintenance, or expansion of substation facilities associated with a utility line in non-tidal waters of the United States, provided the activity, in combination with all other activities included in one single and complete project, does not result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States. This NWP does not authorize discharges of dredged or fill material into non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters of the United States to construct, maintain, or expand substation facilities. 1 Foundations for above-ground utility lines: This NWP authorizes the construction or maintenance of foundations for above-ground utility lines in all waters of the United States, provided the foundations are the minimum size necessary. Access roads: This NWP authorizes the construction of access roads for the construction and maintenance of utility lines, including utility line substations, in non- tidal waters of the United States, provided the activity, in combination with all other activities included in one single and complete project, does not cause the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of non-tidal waters of the United States. This NWP does not authorize discharges of dredged or fill material into non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters for access roads. Access roads must be the minimum width necessary (see Note 2, below). Access roads must be constructed so that the length of the road minimizes any adverse effects on waters of the United States and must be as near as possible to pre- construction contours and elevations (e.g., at grade corduroy roads or geotextile/gravel roads). Access roads constructed above pre-construction contours and elevations in waters of the United States must be properly bridged or culverted to maintain surface f lows. This NWP may authorize utility lines in or affecting navigable waters of the United States even if there is no associated discharge of dredged or fill material (see 33 CFR part 322). Overhead utility lines constructed over section 10 waters and utility lines that are routed in or under section 10 waters without a discharge of dredged or fill material require a section 10 permit. This NWP authorizes, to the extent that Department of the Army authorization is required, temporary structures, fills, and work necessary forthe remediation of inadvertent returns of drilling fluids to waters of the United States through sub-soil fissures or fractures that might occur during horizontal directional drilling activities conducted for the purpose of installing or replacing utility lines. These remediation activities must be done as soon as practicable, to restore the affected waterbody. District engineers may add special conditions to this NWP to require a remediation plan for addressing inadvertent returns of drilling fluids to waters of the United States during horizontal directional drilling activities conducted for the purpose of installing or replacing utility lines. This NWP also authorizes temporary structures, fills, and work, including the use of temporary mats, necessary to conduct the utility line activity. Appropriate measures must be taken to maintain normal downstream flows and minimize flooding to the maximum extent practicable, when temporary structures, work, and discharges of dredged or fill material, including cofferdams, are necessary for construction activities, access fills, or dewatering of construction sites. Temporary fills must consist of materials, and be placed in a manner, that will not be eroded by expected high flows. After construction, temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre-construction elevations. The areas affected by temporary fills must be revegetated, as appropriate. 2 Notification: The permittee must submit a pre-construction notification to the district engineer prior to commencing the activity if: (1) a section 10 permit is required; or (2) the discharge will result in the loss of greater than 1/10-acre of waters of the United States. (See general condition 32.) (Authorities: Sections 10 and 404) Note 1: Where the utility line is constructed, installed, or maintained in navigable waters of the United States (i.e., section 10 waters) within the coastal United States, the Great Lakes, and United States territories, a copy of the NWP verification will be sent by the Corps to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), for charting the utility line to protect navigation. Note 2: For utility line activities crossing a single waterbody more than one time at separate and distant locations, or multiple waterbodies at separate and distant locations, each crossing is considered a single and complete project for purposes of NWP authorization. Utility line activities must comply with 33 CFR 330.6(d). Note 3: Access roads used for both construction and maintenance may be authorized, provided they meet the terms and conditions of this NWP. Access roads used solely for construction of the utility line must be removed upon completion of the work, in accordance with the requirements for temporary fills. Note 4: Pipes or pipelines used to transport gaseous, liquid, liquescent, or slurry substances over navigable waters of the United States are considered to be bridges, not utility lines, and may require a permit from the U.S. Coast Guard pursuant to the General Bridge Act of 1946. However, any discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States associated with such pipelines will require a section 404 permit (see NWP 15). Note 5: This NWP authorizes utility line maintenance and repair activities that do not qualify for the Clean Water Act section 404(f) exemption for maintenance of currently serviceable fills or fill structures. Note 6: For activities that require pre-construction notification, the PCN must include any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or any related activity, including other separate and distant crossings that require Department of the Army authorization but do not require pre-construction notification (see paragraph (b)(4) of general condition 32). The district engineer will evaluate the PCN in accordance with Section D, "District Engineer's Decision." The district engineer may require mitigation to ensure that the authorized activity results in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects(see general condition 23). GENERAL CONDITIONS Note: To qualify for NWP authorization, the prospective permittee must comply with the following general conditions, as applicable, in addition to any regional or case-specific 3 -0- WithersRavenel 1/ Our People.Your Success.
