Dear Ms. Chapman:
On behalf of the City of Raleigh, please find enclosed for your review the following
items regarding the above referenced project. Please note that we do need written
concurrence for 401 approval; however we are requesting riparian buffer rule approval.
• Pre-Construction Notification Application
• Applicable construction drawings (reduced scale)
• USGS map showing location of project
• SCS Soils map showing location of project
The project proposes to construct approximately 15,900 linear feet of water mains
ranging in size from 6 to 12-inch in diameter and approximately 20,250 feet of 8-inch
gravity sanitary sewer. This project is the first part of a two (2) phase project that is
replacing an existing asbestos cement water system with ductile iron water mains and is
replacing individual septic tanks with a gravity sewer system. To construct the project as
proposed, it is necessary to impact wetlands as shown in the attached application
package. No permanent impacts are proposed for this project as the preconstruction
grade of wetlands will be reestablished after disturbance.
I trust this information is sufficient for your review; however, if you should have any
questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will
get you any information or clarification needed immediately.
Sincerely,
THE WOOTEN COMPANY

Construction corridor through wetlands is limited to 40 feet with a 1 D' maintenance corridor
centered over the wipe alignment. The gravity sewer has been located to minimize the
disturbance to wetlands. Where possible the sewer was routed around the wetlands. Also
temporargeasements were minimized where possible. The gravity sewer was routed as to avoid
the Zone 1 buffer and minimize impact to the Zone 2 Buffer as much as possible while also
minimizing disturbance to the pr~erties within the established neighborhood. All temporary
easements were placed in order to avoid andimpact to the Buffer.
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
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, 2002, 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•//h2o enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.

t Activity: Construction of Water and Sewer Mains
for the City of Raleigh
Location: County: Wake
Map: See Appendix A and D for Vicinity Maps
Explanation: The project will construct water and sewer mains throughout the Bentley Woods
Annexation Area. The water mains will be installed to replace existing asbestos
cement water mains that currently exist. The sewer mains will replace the existing
sewer services through individual septic tanks and will flow into an interceptor
sewer that exists on the western side of the subdivision. The project is
necessitated by the City's Phase 1 annexation of the northern part of Bentley
Woods which became effective in June 2007. Once an area in the City of Raleigh
has been annexed it must be provided City water and sewer within 2 years of the
' date of annexation. To construct this project it is necessary to get into zone 2
buffers in two locations as shown on the Drawings. All water mains are located
within NCDOT rights-of--way and sewer mains are predominantly located within
' NCDOT rights-of--way with some lines paralleling_property lines. The main
situations that cause a disturbance to the buffers are the location of the existing
interceptor sewer, the existing topography and the dynamics of the established
neighborhood.
The location of the existing sewer mains as well as the topography of the land
controlled the location of the sewer mains throughout the neighborhood. In order
to reduce depth, serve all properties and connect to the existing sewer mains, the
' proposed routes were chosen. At times these routes must cross throwproperties
and near existing buffered streams. Since the location of the sewer mains are
controlled by these situations it was then necessary to balance the disturbance to
' these buffered areas with the disturbance to homeowner's properties. It should be
noted that the neighborhood has been established for over twentyyears. There are
many trees and existing structures that define these properties. In many cases,
' rerouting the sewer mains to totally avoid impact to these buffers would result in a
sewer main goin directly through established backyards and very close to
existing structures such as porches and sheds. As a result of these situations it was
' not considered feasible to relocate the sewer mains completely outside of the
buffered areas.

No Practical Alternatives Explanation
Page 2
Controlling Impacts: See Plans. The water and sewer mains have been located to minimize
' impacts to wetlands, streams and buffers to the maximum extent practical
based on economics and constructability. The construction corridor has
been limited to 40 feet within wetlands and buffers to reduce disturbance.
' Only a 10-foot maintenance corridor will be maintained after construction
while all other impacted areas can return to preconstruction conditions.
After construction, impacted areas will be placed back to on ig nal rgrade
' (contours). To minimize impact when paralleling_property lines, the sewer
mains were moved to impact as little of the zone two buffers as possible
while also limiting the intrusion into established backyards. A small
' portion of impact was necessary to avoid disturbance to an existing
storage building. To minimize the impact when crossin t~gh wetland
areas, the sewer main was rerouted so that the minimum amount of
wetlands will be impacted.
