Dear Ms. Alexander,
WK Dickson is pleased to submit a Nationwide Permit 3 Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) for
Swann Street Drainage Improvements project. The PCN being submitted is notification on behalf of
the City of Raleigh Engineering Services Department — Stormwater Management. The city is
addressing ongoing erosion and flooding issues within the Beckanna neighborhood. A buffer
review Basin for Swann Street Drainage Improvements project on the unnamed tributary to Crab
Tree Creek is being requested.
The city is addressing ongoing erosion and flooding issues within the Beckanna neighborhood. The
proposed project extends approximately 1,450 linear feet along two unnamed tributaries to Crab
Tree Creek, from Manuel Street north to Varnell Avenue and along a second unnamed tributary
beginning at Dade Street to the east and flowing into the unnamed tributary to Crab Tree Creek.
The proposed project will replace 5 culverts and two driveway bridges. Undersized rip -rap will be
brought up to standard and the installation of rock drop structures and drop boxes will reduce
erosion potential. The work entails upgrading replacing existing culverts and driveway bridges.
Due to erosion, the stream banks are unstable and the loss of large trees is ongoing. The work
entails upgrading replacing existing culverts and driveway bridges.
Bank stabilization will follow accepted stream restoration techniques and consist of sloping steep
banks to a stable grade, use of boulder toes, and revegetation of all disturbed areas with native
vegetation. Any rip rap placed in the channel will be imbedded into the channel as a riffle grade
control. The removal of trees is unavoidable but will be limited to the least possible area. All
construction activities shall be performed and maintained in full compliance with G.S. Chapter
113A Article 4 )Sediment and Pollution Control Act of 1973). Best management practices will
incorporate to minimize and control sedimentation and erosion.
The attached PCN package includes PCN Form, supporting figures, and design plans. Total stream
impacts resulting from the proposed project are 76 LF of permanent impacts and 452 LF of

temporary impacts. Buffer impacts below the Ordinary High Water (OHW) related to bank
stabilization from the proposed project are 167 LF. The project meets all conditions of the NWP 3
and GC 4085.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important project and please Iet me know if you have
any questions or require any additional information.

Swann Street Drainage Improvements
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The project area is located in Raleigh, North Carolina north of the downtown area and inside the 440
beltway and west of Glenwood Avenue. The begins at Manual Street at latitude 35.830385° and longitude
-78.672094°. The current land use is a single home residential neighborhood. The proposed project
extends approximately 1,600 linear feet along two unnamed tributaries to Crab Tree Creek, from Manuel
Street north to Varnell Avenue and along a second unnamed tributary beginning at Dade Street to the
east and flowing into the unnamed tributary to Crab Tree Creek. WK Dickson personnel conducted an
on-site field assessment of waters of the US a site visit February November 17, 2017.
Proposed project work is to stabilize the channels between homes that is actively eroding and unstable.
Culverts at driveway crossing are undersized and creating flooding during storm events. Due to the
restricted nature of the banks active erosion resulting in undercut banks, mass wasting, and yard losses is
occurring downstream from the multiple existing driveway culverts. Currently a few larger trees are
located along the channel but are at risk to become unstable and fall into the channel, damaging
surrounding property and accelerating bank erosion.
A cultural resources review was conducted to determine project potential to adversely affect
archaeological sites or historic structures listed, or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP). The report found 14 listed sites within a half mile buffer, but none in the immediate
vicinity have local landmark status or NHRD status. Only one is within the study area, the Beckanna
Subdivision (Site ID WA4597). It is concluded no NRNP -listed properties or state recognized historic
structures are recorded within or immediately adjacent to the project area.
NHP record were reviewed and no protected species or their habitat is located within the project area and
none was observed during the site visit. Due to the project is within Wake County in the White Nose
Syndrome Area for the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), a consultation with the US Fish
and Wildlife Service is required.
The culvert replacements and bank stabilization throughout the project are necessary to prevent further
property losses and damage and reduce sediment into Crabtree Creek. Theses proposed activities are
authorized under Nation Wide Permit 3 -Maintenance due to their existing nature and need to be
upgraded to current necessary standards. Also, because of the highly developed nature of the water shed,
stabilization of the banks in limited areas is required to prevent property loss and degradation of
downstream water quality. All activities are within 200 linear feet of an existing culvert that will be
replace or driveway bridge that will be stabilized. Any rip rap placed in the channel will be imbedded
into the channel as a riffle grade control and consist of the minimum necessary. Bank stabilization will
follow accepted stream restoration techniques and consist of sloping steep banks to a stable grade, use of
boulder toes or log toes, and revegetation of all disturbed areas with native vegetation.
This notification requests authorization to maintain and stabilize the existing channel features through
the use of Nationwide Permit number 3 (NWP 3 -Maintenance). The project would require impacts to a
perennial stream channel for the replacement of existing driveway culvert that meet current accepted
standards. Bank stabilization needed between culverts is requested authorization of stabilized the
channel banks through the use of a Nationwide Permit number 14 (NWP 13 -Bank Stabilization along two
unnamed perennial tributaries to Crabtree Creek. The following sections document project compliance
with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 2012 NWP General Conditions, as well as the USACE-
Wilmington District Regional Conditions for NWPs.

B. Project Information and Prior Project History
Ia. Property identification dentification no. (tax PIN or parcel IM See table above -Owner Information
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at
the time of this application:
The Swann Street Drainage Improvement Project is located in North Central Raleigh. The Swann Street
Watershed outlet is bounded by Varnell Avenue, Dade Street, Swann Street, and Manuel Street. The
project will treat stormwater within a 260 -acre urbanized drainage area. Most of the watershed is single
family residential. The open channel within the watershed is an unnamed tributary to Crabtree Creek
located on private property and surrounded by residential neighborhoods.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Neighboring homeowners registered complaints with the City of Raleigh concerning yard and street
flooding, as well as channel bank erosion. To address the listed issues above and reach the City's
Stormwater objectives, this project's goals include:
• Eliminate roadway flooding along Swann Street and Varnell Avenue that is a results of the
unnamed tributary to Crabtree Creek overtopping its banks in the 10-yer flood event.
• Minimize gutter spread violations along Swann Street and Varnell Avenue during the 2 -year
flood event.
• Reduce first floor flooding of homes in the 100 -year flood event.
• Improve home access at private driveways with a targeted 10 -year level of service while not
making flooding along Swann Street worse or creating landscaping issues by raising driveway
too high.
• Stabilize those sections of main channel that have ongoing erosion which could jeopardize City
infrastructure or bring down large trees.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The Swann Street Drainage Improvement project will work to reduce flooding and replace aging
infrastructure. The Varnell Avenue culvert was installed in the 1950's, according to GIS data, and where
the existing catch basin were cut into the existing pipe shows evidence of concrete spalling. The proposed
design recommends replacing the existing 57 LF, 60" RCP culvert with a 60 LF, 72" RCP to bring the road
up to 10 -year flood service. The existing local drainage system of Swann Street does not meet the City's
standard spread requirements; thus, the proposed design should reduce the occurrence and duration of
Swann Street flooding and the street spread violations. In addition, eleven new Double Catch Basins and
associated side systems are proposed. The existing culvert at 3618 Swann Street is an undersized 33LF,
60" half Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP), half Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). It is to be replaced with a 33
LF of 72" RCP that will be baffled at either end to create a natural bottom to promote aquatic habitat
passage. The other existing driveway culvert at 3618 Swann Street is smaller in cross-sectional area
compared to adjacent driveway culverts as a 40LF, 48" RCP, thus constricting flow and causing roadway
flooding during a 10 -year event. It is proposed to be replaced with 51 LF of 91"x58" concrete elliptical
pipe and remove the blind junction box to eliminate the slight bend to the existing alignment. It will also
be baffled at either end to create a natural bottom to promote aquatic habitat passage. The existing
driveway bridge at 3614 Swann Street has a very low hydraulic capacity due to its undersized channel
and low set decking for the bridge. A 12 -foot wide three -sided driveway bridge is recommended.
Although, there is another option is a pre -fabricated bridge that will have similar hydraulic conveyance
areas. Similar to above, the driveway bridge at 3614 Swann Street should be replaced with a 12 -foot wide
Page 4 of 7

Supplemental Information for Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Form
Swann Street Drainage Improvements
three -side bridge or a pre -fabricated bridge with a similar hydraulic conveyance area. On Dade Street, the
current downstream headwall exhibits signs of aging and the concrete pad is undercut by approximately
2 feet. It is recommended the existing headwall is to be removed and the existing 30" RCP be extended 32
LF to eliminate the approximate 2.5 -foot drop from the existing outfall to the channel invert at the
downstream end of the concrete pad. These measures will include adjusting the stream banks such that
the channel will be more in line with the 30" RCP and installing boulder toes along both sides of the
channel to increase stability.

Provosed Imvacts Invento
Impact S1 (Figure 3)
Stream Impact S1 includes removing the existing riprap and supplementing it with new class 1 riprap
until there is a minimum of 24" deep along channel 50' from endwall. A 9" rock drop structure is will
provide additional stream stabilization. Stream Impact 1 will result in 125 linear feet of temporary stream
impacts within the unnamed tributary and is proposed for authorization under NWP 3.
Impact S2 (Figure 3)
Stream Impact S2 includes replacing the existing 60" RCP with a 72" RCP and extend the culvert 3 feet. A
modified concrete block headwall will minimize impacts. It is proposed to replace it with a with an
additional 3 feet of extension. The proposed construction includes culvert replacement, a rock cross wave
for grade control, and limited tree removal. A water line relocation, a sewer line relocation, will create
temporary impacts of 9 LF. Stream Impact 2 will result in 3 linear feet of permanent stream impacts
within the unnamed tributary and is proposed for authorization under NWP 3.
Impact S3 (Figure 4)
Stream Impact S3 includes a proposed buried riffle grade control for energy dissipation as well as the
realignment of the receiving channel immediately downstream of triple 36" diameter RCPs. No channel
will be lost in the realignment. The channel is experiencing erosion on both side banks due to a significant
bend in the channel. Stream Impact 3 will result in 80 linear feet of temporary stream impacts within the
unnamed tributary and is proposed for authorization under NWP 3.
Impact S4 (Figure 4)
Stream Impact S4 includes extension of the 72" RCP and installation of a custom junction box to help
arrest the ongoing channel bank erosion and to provide protection to existing brick walls at the upstream
property's driveway. With the inclusion of the junction box and culvert extension, there will be a loss of
35 LF of channel. Stream Impact 4 will result in 35 linear feet of permanent stream impacts within the
unnamed tributary and is proposed for authorization under NWP 3.
Impact S5 (Figure 4)
Stream Impact S5 includes a 60" culvert replacement with a 72" RCP of the same length that will be
baffled at either end of the culvert. A slight pipe realignment is recommended to improve hydraulic
efficiency between the upstream and downstream channels. There will be no loss of the channel in the
realignment. For further energy dissipation and stream stabilization, two rock drop structures and a
plunge pool will be added upstream of the inlet of the replaced culvert. Stream Impact 5 will result in 91
linear feet of temporary stream impacts within the unnamed tributary and is proposed for authorization
under NWP 3.
Impact S6 (Figure 4)
Stream Impact S6 includes the replacement of a 48" RCP with a 72" RCP. It will be extended 11 feet the
blind junction box will be removed to eliminating a slight bend to the existing alignment and improve
hydraulic efficiency. Stream Impact 6 will result in 11 linear feet of permanent stream impacts within the
unnamed tributary and is proposed for authorization under NWP 3.
Page 6 of 7

Supplemental Information for Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Form
Swann Street Drainage Improvements
Impact S7 (Figure 5)
Stream Impact S7 is the stabilization of erosion in the channel bed with a proposed riffle grade control.
Stream Impact 7 will result in 112 linear feet of temporary stream impacts within the unnamed tributary
and is proposed for authorization under NWP 3.
Impact S8 (Figure 5)
Stream Impact S8 includes the replacement of the existing 8' driveway bridge. Stream Impact 8 will result
in 14 linear feet of temporary stream impacts within the unnamed tributary and is proposed for
authorization under NWP 3.
Impact S9 (Figure 5)
Stream Impact S9 includes the replacement of the existing 8' driveway bridge. Stream Impact 9 will result
in 12 linear feet of temporary stream impacts within the unnamed tributary and is proposed for
authorization under NWP 3.
Impact S10 (Figure 5)
Stream Impact S10 includes the extension of the existing 30" RCP by 27 linear feet to address the
approximate 2.5 -foot drop from the existing outfall to the channel invert at the downstream end of the
concrete pad. It will include a rip rap diffuser pad. Stream Impact 10 will result in 27 linear feet of
permanent stream impacts within the unnamed tributary and is proposed for authorization under NWP
3.
D. Impact justification and Mitigation
1a. & 1b.: Avoidance and Minimization: Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the
proposed impacts in designing project and through construction techniques.
Stream impacts have been reduced by minimizing the size of the project area and with construction
techniques. Closed systems on jurisdictional streams have been lengthened to reduce the chance of future
failures. Installations of rip -rap and grade control structures below OHWMs are limited in placement
and size to the minimum necessary to ensure channel stability. Also, to avoid permanent impacts to
jurisdictional waters, existing channel substrates will be restored following construction.
During the planning and design phase of the project, efforts were made to avoid impacts to the greatest
extent possible. Certain unavoidable impacts are necessary to fulfill the applicant's purpose and need. To
minimize impacts to surface water resources during the project construction and maintenance, an
approved erosion and sedimentation control plant will be included in the project's design plans.
Soft stabilization practices including installation of grade control structures, live staking, coir matting
installation, and container plantings will be used throughout the project. Traditional rip -rap scour
protection will be replaced with riffle grade controls to allow for a more natural channel bottom while
still providing scour protection at pipe outfalls. Riffle grade control consists of a stone scour protection
pad at outfalls that is one foot below the natural channel bottom and backfilled with natural channel
material. All erosion control measures will be placed in accordance with the Erosion Control
Regulations. Local storm water and erosion control regulations will be followed on the project site.
Ongoing on-site construction inspections will ensure that construction contractors are following all
DEQ -approved plans.

Project Name: Swann Street Drainage Improvements
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of
the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can
be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed
list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative
effects, before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the
proposed action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on
federally listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless
an Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete
record of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified
personnel conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related
articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan
(http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects
should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing
impacts to migratory birds and bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at:
http://www. fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm;
http://www.towerkill.com; and
http://www.fws.gov/migratoI3 birds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National
Marine Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems
you should also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

Project Type: STREAM / WATERBODY / CANALS / LEVEES / DIKES
Project Name: Swann Street Drainage Improvements
Project Description: The project area is located in Raleigh, North Carolina north of the downtown
area and inside the 440 beltway and west of Glenwood Avenue. The begins at Manual Street at
latitude 35.830385° and longitude -78.672094°. The current land use is a single home residential
neighborhood. The proposed project extends approximately 1,600 linear feet along two unnamed
tributaries to Crab Tree Creek, from Manuel Street north to Varnell Avenue and along a second
unnamed tributary beginning at Dade Street to the east and flowing into the unnamed tributary to
Crab Tree Creek. WK Dickson personnel conducted an on-site field assessment of waters of the US
a site visit February November 17, 2017.
Proposed project work is to stabilize the channels between homes that is actively eroding and
unstable. Culverts at driveway crossing are undersized and creating flooding during storm events.
Due to the restricted nature of the banks active erosion resulting in undercut banks, mass wasting,
and yard losses is occurring downstream from the multiple existing driveway culverts. Currently a
few larger trees are located along the channel but are at risk to become unstable and fall into the
channel, damaging surrounding property and accelerating bank erosion.
Project is in design phase and moving to permitting and then bidding for construction.
Please Note: The FWS office may have modified the Project Name and/or Project Description, so it
may be different from what was submitted in your previous request. If the Consultation Code
matches, the FWS considers this to be the same project. Contact the office in the 'Provided by'

RE: Swann Street Drainage Improvements; 20160005.00.RA
Dear George Lankford:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These
results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund
(CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Matthew Hebb at matthew.hebb ano ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

NCNHDE-3040
No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area
There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the NCNHP database
does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The
use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare
species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our database.

NOTE: If the proposed project intersects with a conservation/managed area, please contact the landowner directly for additional information. If the project intersects with a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Natural
Heritage Area (RHA), or Federally -listed species, NCNHP staff may provide additional correspondence regarding the project.
Definitions and an explanation of status designations and codes can be found at https://ncnhde.natureserve.org/content/help. Data query generated on March 1, 2017; source: NCNHP, Q1 January 2017. Please resubmit your
information request if more than one year elapses before project initiation as new information is continually added to the NCNHP database.
