DENR - WATErt QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORMWAI'ER BRANCH
On behalf of the City of Raleigh we are requesting Buffer Compliance from the NC-
DWQfor the impacts to riparian buffers associated with the re-habilitation of a sewer
line. Because the proposed stream crossings are less than 40 linear feet and within
15 degrees of perpendicular, we do not believe that 401 Certification is required.
The proposed alignment is approximately 510o feet in length and is located adjacent
to Cemetery Branch, between Capitol Blvd (SR 401) and North Boundary Street. The
project is located in Raleigh, North Carolina (35.8018837°N, 78.6221736°W) and
drains into the Neuse River Basin. The WaterQuality Classification for these streams
is: C;NSW, the Cataloging Unit forthis site is: 03020201, and the Stream Index
number is: 27-33-18-2•
Project History
Wetlands were delineated by Withers &Ravenel and an upland data form is included
with the attachments. On January 18, 2008, apre-application meeting was
conducted with Ms. Amy Chapman of the NC-DWQ to review the proposed impacts to
the riparian buffers needed to rehabilitate the sewer line. On February 28, 2008, a
second meeting was conducted with Ms. Amy Chapman, the City of Raleigh Public
Works and Withers & Ravenel to discuss mitigation requirements. Because one
component of this project is to protect water quality and move the sewer line away
from the creek, it was determined that in area where the existing sewer line is
abandoned, the applicant will re-plant the riparian buffer to satisfy mitigation
requirements.
Project Description/Proposed Impacts
This project consists of replacing an aging sewer line that is currently located
adjacent to Cemetery Branch Creek. A majority of the existing easement is within 5
feet of the creek and runs parallel on zone 1 and zone 2 of the buffers. In two areas,
the existing line is actually runs along the base of the stream. The purpose of this
project is to protect water quality by replacing the existing line (i.e. prevent spills)
and moving it away from the creek banks wherever possible. The proposed impacts
consist of 38 linear feet of important/perennial stream and o.87 acres of riparian

buffer (Zone is 15,572 SF & Zone 2: 22,260 SF) for the installation of this utility line.
The impacts are summarized on the overall impact map as well as the PCN form.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to the design process, the applicant requested that detailed wetland
delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and `waters' could be
minimized. The existing sewer line is located almost exclusively in Zone i and Zone
2 of the buffer or, within the channel of Cemetery Branch. The replacement sewer
has been designed to minimize impacts to the riparian buffer and move it farther
away from the creek. Approximately 16,298 square feet of line will be abandoned in
Zone 1 of the buffer and re-planted with bare root seedlings and 5,885 square feet of
Zone 2 will be abandoned and re-seeded with fescue. However, due to existing
houses and structures, the sewer line could not be located entirely outside of the 50-
foot buffer. Whenever possible, the work will be confined to the previously disturbed
areas in Zone 2.
Mitigation
The NC-DWQ has determined that re-planting the buffers in the abandoned sewer
easement will satisfy mitigation requirements. The applicant will plant bare root
seedlings at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. To achieve
this density, approximately 4.36 (10x10 feet spacing) to 681(8x8 feet spacing) trees
per acre will be planted. Depending on what is available at the time of planning, the
applicant will provide at least 3 different tree species native to this area.
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,

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 maybe 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.

3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN):
4. Location
County: Wake Nearest Town: Raleigh
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): NA
Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): The subject area is
located in downtown Raleigh adjacent to Cemetery Branch Creek, between Capitol Blvd and
North Boundary St.
5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that
separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 35.8018837 °N 78.6221736 °W
6. Property size (acres): Linear Project 5100'
7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: Cemetery Branch
8. River Basin: Neuse River Basin
(Note -this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Approximately half of the project will be confined to an
existing sewer easement. The land use within the vicinity of the project consists of residential
yards, and roads/parking lots.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: This
project consists of replacin an aging sewer line that is currently located adjacent to
Cemetery Branch Creek. A majority of the existing easement is within 5 feet of the creek
and runs parallel on zone 1 and zone 2 of the buffers. In two areas the existin lig_'ne is
Page 2 of 8

actually runs along the base of the stream. Large excavating equipment (i.e. trackhoe) will
be used to install the sewer line.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of this project is to protect water
quality by replacing the existin lg ine (i.e. prevent spills) and moving it away from the creek
banks wherever possible. The current line constructed of clay pipe with joints every 3 feet
will be replaced by a metal pipe with fewer joints, reducing the risk of spills and extending
the life of the sewer line.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. Wetlands were delineated b~Withers &Ravenel and an upland data
form is included with the attachments. On January 18 2008 apre-application meeting was
conducted with Ms. Amv Chapman of the NC-DWO to review the proposed impacts to the
riparian buffers needed to rehabilitate the sewer line. On February 28 2008 a second meeting
was conducted with Ms. Amv Chapman and members of the City of Raleigh Public Works and
Withers &Ravenel to discuss mitigation requirements. Because one comRonent of this project is
to protect water quality and move the sewer line away from the creek it was determined that in
area where the existing sewer line is abandoned the applicant will re-plant the riparian buffer to
satis mitigation requirements.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No additional impacts are proposed at this time.

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. Prior to the design process, the
applicant requested that detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands
and `waters' could be minimized. The existing sewer line is located almost exclusively in Zone
1 and Zone 2 of the buffer or within the channel of Cemetery Branch 'The replacement sewer
has been designed to minimize impacts to the riparian buffer and move it farther away from the
creek. Approximately 16,298 square feet of line will be abandoned in Zone 1 of the buffer and
re-planted with bare root seedlings and 5,885 of Zone 2 will be abandoned and re-seeded with
fescue. However, due to existing houses and structures the sewer line could not be located
entirely outside of the 50-foot buffer. Whenever possible the work will be confined to the
previously disturbed areas in Zone 2.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with I SA 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.
Page S of 8

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.
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.
Because the stream impacts are temporary and will be returned to pre-construction contours
the applicant does not propose mitigation for the stream crossing. Approximately 16 298
square feet of line will be abandoned in Zone 1 of the buffer and re-planted with bare root
seedlings and 5,885 square feet of Zone 2 will be abandoned and re-seeded with fescue to
satis mitigation requirements.
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/wrp/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): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA (see below)
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA

development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.etu-.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: This
protect involves the replacement of an existing sewer line The surrounding areas are established
neighborhoods; therefore, we do not believe that this project will have a negative impact on
downstream water quality.
XV, Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to
allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with
construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates
associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's
control).
