Subject
Pre -Construction Notification for Buffer Impacts — TPBRRO#15-490 — Bridgestone
Americas Tire Operation, LLC, Wilson County, NC.
Dear Mr. Robinson:
In order to expand Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation's (Bridgestone)
manufacturing plant in Wilson, North Carolina, the existing stormwater ponds need to
be expanded to accommodate the increased stormwater runoff. Expanding the
ponds will impact portions of the buffer surrounding the ponds; thus requiring buffer
authorization from NCDWR. Attached is a Pre -Construction Notification for those
buffer impacts.
We have received verbal confirmation from the US Army Corps of Engineers that all
aquatic features on site are not jurisdictional and therefore not subject to Section 401
and 404 of the Clean Water Act. A copy of the written confirmation will be forwarded
when received. The project is located in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin and is subject
to the State of North Carolina Tar -Pamlico Buffer Rules.
Buffer impacts will result from the expansion of the existing stormwater ponds. The
main pond will be expanded to the north. The forebay will be expanded to the south.
Buffer impacts in the main pond were reduced by constructing an island and
retaining the existing buffer vegetation on the island. The pond expansion will impact
26971.1 square feet of Zone 1 and 15,477.3 square feet of Zone 2. Figures 1-4. All
buffer impacts were calculated using the Division of Water Resources flag as the
upstream limit. The flag was placed on the southern side of the drainage ditch during
NCDWR's December 15, 2015 site visit.
The perimeter of the pond expansion will be replanted with native vegetation. Zone 1
will be planted with trees and shrubs. Zone 2 will be planted with grasses and will
continue to be maintained as the current area. The 30 foot wide Zone 1 planting is
wider than the existing wooded buffer. See Table 1 for the proposed Zone 1
planting. The species selected were based on the species currently established
around the ponds. Specimens planted will be one gallon containers planted
randomly on 20 foot centers. A total of 30,790.9 square feet of Zone 1 and 20,618.0
square feet of Zone 2 will be planted, resulting in a net increase of 3,819.8 square
Imagine the result

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 footprint of the limits of disturbance was kept to the minimum necessary to complete the work. The stormwater pond
was designed with an island. This minimizes impacts to the existing buffers but maximizes the establishment of new
buffers.

Approved erosion controls will be installed throughout the construction area. Wooded areas outside the LOD will be
protected with orange construction fence
