Subject: Modification of DWQ EXP# 06-1139v2
The Woods of Blair Hills
Dear Ms. Myott:
~C~(~~C~
{ l~i~
~~s r"~B~Rnr~crl
The information you requested is attached along with three cioies if the OCN.
As we discussed this modification is necessary due to the fact that the permitted (exempt) impact
for the sewer line stream crossing cannot be accomplished. The permitted crossing was to be
accomplished via bore and jack under the stream feature and if attempted could/would result in
collapse.
The modification if two fold.
To excavate the stream crossing and place the eight inch pipe into the trench and fill. This
will result in only a temporary impact. If necessary, the stream will be dammed and the flow
pumped around. Unfortunately this impact cannot be accomplished in a perpendicular
manner as required by the Table of Uses. The exiting and receiving manholes are in place.
The elevations and grade in the area of the stream crossing prohibit a crossing between 75
and 1 OS degrees. The buffer disturbance in this area will be kept to a minimum . The trench
will be backfilled with the excavated soil material immediately following the placement of
the sewer line. Mitigation for the impact to Zone 1 (1067 square feet) will be made through
payment to EEP.
2. To not construct the required preformed scour hole and allow the stormwater
to be treated while being conveyed through a fescue sod vegetated "swale" prior
to delivery to an irrigation pond. This feature is man made and is located
outside of natural drainage ways not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules
as per NBRRO OS-173. ` `~' `
All impacts other than the two mentioned above have been completed
as previously permitted. These proposed impacts cannot be accomplished
or reduced in any manner that would better protect water quality or minimize _
the riparian impact. Best management practices will be utilized during all ~,,,~,~:, ,tr#.,, '
construction activities to minimize the disturbance, preserve aquatic life and
habitat, and protect water quality.

If you should have any questions related to the information presented or are in need of additional
information please do not hesitate to contact me. My cell number is 919-971-6598 or nights at
550-9055.
Sincerely,

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that
the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this Letter and is not transferable. Il' we have not received a copy of
the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the
applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice
will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized
work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and
policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the
following table.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Wetlands delineated and
impacts avoided and minimized. Permitted .impacts are completed except sewerline crossing
Project is approved to jack and bore under the stream disturbing~a much larger amount of buffer.
The substrate below the stream is striated ranite and this makes it impossibile to accomplish.
Proposal is to dim and open trench and place the sewer line in. (Three feet deep).
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
Page 5 of 8

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2402, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http:/Ih2o.enr.state.ne.us/nc~~etlands/strm~idt.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
In situations in the past where stream impacts are under 150 feet or temporary impacts to
unimportant/intermittent streams have occurred mitigation is not required by the USACE
and cannot be required by NCDWO therefore mitigation has not been proposed. However,
should mitigation be required, the applicant shall use the EEP.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http:,~/h2o.enr,state.nc.us!wr~/index,htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 1067
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0

PER THE BMP MANUAL AND THE SUPPLEMENT FORM, IF THE GRASS
SWALE IS NOT BEING USED FOR CREDIT THEN THE INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED.
HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD TO SUPPLY ONE. ATTACHED IS A COPY. PLEASE
NOTE THAT THE SWALE IS NOT A BMP. THE DEVELOPMENT IS BELOW THE
3.6 LBS/AC/YR IN NITROGEN RUNOFF AND THEREFORE, NO BMP IS NEEDED
TO REDUCE NITROGEN. THIS SWALE IS TO ONLY CONVEY RUNOFF FROM
THE ROADWAY AWAY FROM A DIRECT DISCHAGR INTO THE NEUSE RIVER
BUFFER.

Important maintenance procedures:
- The drainage area of the grassed swale will be carefully managed to reduce the
sediment load to the grassed Swale.
- After the first-time fertilization to establish the grass in the swale, fertilizer will
not be applied to the grassed Swale.
The grassed swale will be inspected once a quarter. Records of inspection and
maintenance will be kept in a known set location and will be available upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.
