Subject: Durham-Cary Water Interconnection project; Section 404 Nationwide Permit 12
application; SEPT Project No. EN08.013
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
On behalf of the City of Durham and Hazen & Sawyer, SEPT Engineering Group, Inc. (SEPT)
submits this Section 404 Nationwide Permit 12 (NWP 12) application. The City of Durham
proposes to connect its water system with the Town of Cary. The project lies along NC 55,
beginning at Kit Creek Road in Wake County and extending to Alston Avenue in Durham County.
The total length of the route is 7,250 feet.
SEPT submits this NWP 12 application on behalf of the City. Attached to this cover letter are:
• An email enabling SEPT to submit this permit application on behalf of the City of Durham;
• Summary of phone conversation between Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the USACE and Mr. Phillip
Todd of SEPT on July 16, 2008;
• Pre-construction notification; and,
• Permit drawings noting impacts to waters of the US.
Project Information
The project lies in the Cape Fear River basin (HUC 03030002). This part of the state does not have
riparian buffers at this time. The project construction is scheduled to begin in September 2008 and
be completed by January 2009. Generally speaking, the project will be constructed on right of way
maintained by the NC Department of Transportation.
The maintenance corridor for the waterline is 25 feet wide. The construction corridor is 10 feet
wide beyond the maintenance corridor as noted the attached drawing.
Purpose and Need
The City of Durham proposes to construct a 16" waterline along the right of way of NC 55 and
South Alston Ave to relieve strain on their drinking water system during extreme drought. The
drought that central North Carolina experienced in 2007 illustrated the importance of having backup
water sources during periods of water supply shortage. This proposed 16" waterline would provide
AV
S SEPI

an interconnection between the Town of Cary and the City of Durham, allowing transfer of water
between systems should an emergency arise.
Jurisdictional Review
SEPT completed a wetland and stream delineation in April 2008. Wetlands and streams in the
project study area were delineated.
Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the US Army of Engineers conducted a desk top jurisdictional review based
on data provided by SEPT. This information was provided to Mr. Alsmeyer in an email dated May
29, 2008. This information package included: standard wetland determination forms, `Rapanos'
forms, and a photolog of the jurisdictional areas.
Ms. Lauren Cobb Witherspoon of the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) completed a field
review of the jurisdictional areas on June 20, 2008. Ms. Witherspoon agreed with SEPI's stream
determination.
Other Relevant Information
Prior to locating the alignment of the proposed water line, consultants for City of Durham
completed a review of the project study area, including US Geologic Survey maps (Green Level,
NC), county soil maps for Wake and Durham Counties along with general site location information,
to place the alignment of proposed water line that avoids and minimizes impacts to waters of the
US. Based on this information, the waters of the US delineation and other data, the final alignment
of the project was secured.
SEPT has reviewed map data at the NC State Historic Preservation (NCSHPO) office. The Office
of State Archaeology and the Survey and Planning Branch were visited on July 14, 2008. There are
no registered or eligible structures or sites listed in the project study area.
Additionally, SEPT reviewed the NC Natural Heritage Program database for rare and protected
species. Based on this review on July 15, 2008, there were no known occurrences of any rare or
protected species in the project study area. As noted earlier, the majority of the project lies with
right of way maintained by the NC Department of Transportation. Much the project study area was
recently impacted by the widening of NC 55.
Impacts to waters of US
Impacts to waters of the US are unavoidable in order to complete the water interconnection project.
Project study area waters of the US have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent
practicable.
There are two wetland impacts and one stream impact to result from project construction. The
wetland impacts at Site WB is <0.01 acres in the maintenance corridor and <0.01 acre in the
construction corridor. This wetland system is an emergent wetland system. Additionally, there is
55.5 feet of stream in the maintenance and construction corridor, totaling <0.01 acre of surface
water impact.
S 'e
SEPI
Page 3
The second wetland impact is of Wetland WC. The wetland impacts at Wetland WC totals 0.03 acre
in maintenance corridor. This wetland system is an emergent wetland system.
There is rock in the area associated with Wetland WB and Drainage The rock precludes directional
bore; therefore, we cannot comply with some of the Regional Conditions for installing utility lines.
The section of the Regional Condition that cannot be applicable is Section 4.1.
Impacts to waters of the US are limited in nature. Therefore, the City of Durham does intend to
provide any compensatory mitigation for impacts to waters of the US.
Attached to this cover letter is an email summarizing a pre-application phone conversation between
Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the USACE and Mr. Phillip Todd of SEPI.
Project Summary
The project involves connecting the water systems of the City of Durham and the Town of Cary.
This project is needed to maintain water to the city residents in the event of a drought similar to that
of 2007.
The project will impact a total of 0.04 acres of wetland (emergent) within the maintenance corridor,
<0.01 acre of wetlands in the construction corridor, <0.01 acre of surface waters, and 55.5 feet of
stream (combined maintenance and construction corridor). These impacts to waters of the US have
been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
SEPI requests that the USACE issued a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 12 for the construction of
this water interconnection project.
The project meets all of the conditions for the corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification.
Therefore, written concurrence from the NC Division of Water Quality is not necessary. The
NCDWQ is provided a courtesy copy of this permit application.
If you have questions regarding this permit application, please contact Mr. Phillip Todd of SEPI at
the office, [phone], or by mobile phone at [phone].

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

Subject: EN08.013 - phone conversation on 7/16/2008 on Durham-Cary water interconnection project
Eric-
Thanks for talking with me today about this project. As we noted, there will be impacts to Drainage B (perennial
channel) and to wetland WB (emergent system). All of this wetland is within the construction corridor and a
portion of the wetland is within the maintenance corridor.
The water line itself will cross upstream of where Drainage C commences; however, a portion of the drainage that
will be within the maintenance right of way. Wetland WC is an emergent system, and a large portion of it will be
within the maintenance corridor.
To make the drawing more clear, we will note where Drainage C starts as an intermittent channel.
The City of Durham will not provide compensatory mitigation for these impacts because the impacts are to
emergent wetlands.
As we noted previously, the project cannot be implemented using directional bore because there is bedrock in the
