III. Project Information
8.
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

area.The middle section is from the pond spillway to Simi Road. This section is highly
entrenched (bank hei t ratios greater than 2.5) with highly erosive banks and no connection
with its floodplain. This section contains no woody buffer. This area appears to be in
diseciuilibrium and has visual signs that it is actively eroding its bed and banks. The channel
Lacks sinuosity except for one bend just downstream of the spillway with a radius of
curvature that is too tight and lacks the appropriate geometry found in stable systems. The
lower section is from Sign Road to the confluence with Irish Buffalo Creek. The channel
geomorphology of this section is similar to that of the middle section. The stream is actively
eroding its bed and banks and lacks bed form diversity. The buffer in this section contains
sporadic native hardwoods such as sycamore, sweet gum, box elder, and red maple. The
understory is dominated by_ invasive species such as privet, Japanese honeysuckle, and
Chinese bent grass. Because the channel has cut down to below rooting depth, the trees
provide very little bank stabilization and as a result are falling into the channel. This section
is also disconnected from its active bank-full floodplain.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
design approach calls for removal of the dam structure and stream restoration of the channel
utilizing natural channel techniques and re-establishment of the riparian buffer. The pond
will be drained using a small track hoe to incrementally remove the dam to slowly release the
water downstream The concrete spillway will be removed and disposed of offsite.
Appropriate~attern and profile will be formed once the pond is drained. Track hoes and
other earth moving equipment will be used.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The ~uroose of this work is to restore a
degraded urban stream and to provide compensatory mitigation credits through the
Ecosystem Enhancement Program-Full Delivery Program.
I~. Prior Project History

~. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream chaiuiels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Approximately 2000 linear feet of
existing channelized and degraded stream will be restored by forming an appropriate pattern
and profile, reestablishing connection to a floodplain and adding_grade control structures A
pond will also be drained and restored to a fianctioning stream system The entire project will
create and or restore approximately 3200 feet of channel

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. The pond dam will be removed
in stages over the course of several days to avoid flooding downstream. Appropriate sediment
and erosion control measures will be taken throughout the construction of the stream. A
sedimentation and erosion control plan will be prepared and submitted to NCDENR/DLR. A
land qualitypenmit will be obtained prior to any land disturbance avtivity.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality far 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.
