RE: Ravenstone Outfall and Forcemain
Dear Mr. Preuninger,

\A ?`
We are writing this letter requesting encroachment into the stream buffer along the
unnamed stream tributary as shown on the attached drawings.
The encroachment will be within parts of the buffer that is beyond 30 feet from the top of
bank. The need for the buffer is because of the physical constraints of the topography
that limits location of the outfall.
We are proposing to install a gravity sewer main and a force main no closer than 30 feet
from the top of bank from this tributary. To locate it further out will place it in
topography that rises quickly resulting in a much deeper outfall that would create a
greater impact on the environment and will result in an outfall that is too deep to be
practical. Future single family home sewer service laterals will need to be excavated
with large track backhoes to get the depth needed to tie into this proposed outfall.
Only a single stream crossing is used to keep impact on the stream at an absolute
minimum. This crossing located near existing Hillview Drive and is done at almost a 90
degree angle and places most of the disturbance within the existing road bed. An extra
manhole and additional length of pipe was used to achieve this minimal impact.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Jeff ecky, PE
Project Manager

S&EC Project #: 5584
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Tugwell: '
On behalf of Sherron Road Ventures LLC, we hereby request authorization from the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide Permit 12 for the subject project to cover
temporary impacts to two jurisdictional stream channels (both unnamed tributaries of Lick
Creek). Construction of the proposed sewer line will proceed in accordance with all general
conditions that apply to Nationwide Permit 12, as well as all of the conditions of the 401
Certification associated with NWP 12. However, parallel buffer impacts to Zone 2 are
unavoidable due to topographic constraints, therefore we are requesting buffer compliance from
the NC-DWQ. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, as well as an
agent authorization form.
The applicant requested that S&EC delineate the wetlands, stream channels, and buffers along the
proposed route prior to choosing the alignment in order to minimize impacts. A copy of the
applicable USGS Quadrangle and Soil Survey are attached showing the approximate route of
alignment. Buffer confirmation from the NC-DWQ was issued on October 7, 2002 and March 4,
2003. Both buffer confirmation letters are enclosed. A site meeting with the USACE was
performed on January 10, 2003 We submitted for an USACE jurisdictional determination on
April 11, 2003, however, we have not received a signed delineation map.
This project consists of the installation of approximately 7,200 feet of sewer force main that will
serve the proposed residential area. The sewer alignment begins at the proposed pump station
and extends parallel to an unnamed tributary of Lick Creek across Opal Street then crosses the
stream channel at Hillview Drive (Impact 1). The sewer line then extends parallel to Sherron road
and Hwy 98 crossing another unnamed tributary of Lick Creek (Impact 6) before tying into an
existing sewer line (see maps). Placement of the sewer line to serve the proposed residential

development will temporarily impact two jurisdictional channels (both unnamed tributaries of
Lick Creek). The proposed alignment will impact 40 linear feet (Impact 1) and 21 linear feet
(Impact 6) of stream channel. After crossing the stream, the remainder of the sewer line will run
parallel to the road within the existing right-of-way until reaching an existing sewer line. The
total cumulative impact for this project consists of 61 linear feet of temporary stream
channel impacts.
In addition to the temporary channel impacts, the proposed alignment will impact Zone 2 of the
riparian buffer (Impacts 2,3,4, &5) due to topographic constraints (see attached justification)
Therefore we are requesting buffer compliance from NC-DWQ for Impact 2(Zone 2-3,045 SF),
Impact 3 (Zone 2-1,427 SF), Impact 4 (Zone 2-8,287 SF) and Impact 5 (Zone 2-2,826 SF). The
USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream channel
impacts to the maximum extent practicable and may require further compensatory mitigation to
offset unavoidable losses of waters of the US when permanent impacts exceed the requirements
for notification (0.1 acre). The applicant requested a detailed delineation of wetlands present on
the along the proposed corridor prior to construction in order to avoid wetland impacts. Because
a majority of the construction corridor is located within an existing road right-of-way, additional
clearing will be minimal. In addition, the stream channel will be restored to original contours
following completion of the project and the banks will be reseeded following current guidelines.
Because the applicant will minimize impacts to stream channels by utilizing perpendicular
crossings within an existing right-of-way, and because the proposed impacts are temporary,
S&EC does not believe compensatory mitigation should be required by the USACE for this
project.

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): NA
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
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 applicant requested a wetland delineation along the sewer line corridor to select the route
with the least amount of impacts to wetlands and stream channels. The applicant is proposing
to install a force main no closer than 30 feet from the unnamed tributary of Lick Creek. If the
sewer line had been located further away from the tributaa, completely out of Zone 2 of the
Buffer, a much deer outfall would be needed because of the steep topography resulting in
an outfall that is too deep to be practical (see attached justification). The UASCE's current
policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream channel impacts to the
maximum extent practicable and may require compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable
losses of waters of the US Because impacts are temporary we do not believe mitigation
should be required
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 214 .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 7 of 14
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP 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/strm,,iide.htmi.
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 applicant has avoided and minimized stream channel impacts by crossing
stream channels in a perpendicular fashion, and because the proposed impacts are temporary,
S&EC believes that compensatory mitigation should not be required by the USACE.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at littp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wri)/index.litm, If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA

Dear Mr. Preuninger:
On September 11, 2002, 1 conducted a field investigation on the subject property. The plat map and
other information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site
would require compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rule. This specific project is referenced by the Raleigh
Regional Office as NBRRO 02-040. This letter will serve as confirmation of the buffer determinations
made by S & E C at the subject property.
The features represented on the Durham County Soils and the southeast Durham USGS Quad maps
were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. Four stream features (A
through D) are depicted on the maps within the subject property. Features A (from Flag T100), B (from
Flag T300), and C (from Flag T200) are subject to the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters
Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code
T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233) . Feature D although represented on the Durham County Soils map is
not present on the ground as a stream and is not subject to the fifty foot riparian buffer rule.
This letter addresses only the applicability of the Buffer Rules. For information relative to the Weiland.
401/404 issues, please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. Thank you for your attention to
this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do
not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Gadd:
I have reviewed the maps that you have submitted for the project referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office
as NBRRO-03-025. An evaluation of the stream features was performed on December 17, 2002 to determine
whether the site would require compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rule.
The features represented on the Durham County Soils and the Southeast Durham USGS topographic
maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that
there are nine features represented on the property between the two maps. These are labeled as Features A
through I as indicated on the attached plat map.
Features G, and H are not subject to protection under the Neuse River Basin-Nutrient Sensitive Waters
Management Strategy: Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code
T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). A small portion of Feature F (broken subjectivity) and the area of Feature
I that encroaches into the property are subject. The remaining features are subject through the property.
This letter addresses only those issues involving the riparian area. For information relative to the Wetlands
401/404 issues, please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. Thank you for your attention to this matter
and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 571- 4700.
