Re: Upgrade of Existing 42-inches CIP to 9'x4' Concrete Box Culvert
At Brookfield Drive Greensboro, NC
To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Greensboro will like to notify your office of the proposed box culvert upgrade
at Brookfield Drive. The project's objective is to upgrade the existing 42-inch reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP) with 9-feet by 4-feet Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert with energy
pool and flood bench. The existing 42-inch pipe is undersized and needed to be
upgraded with 9'x4' box culvert.
The length of the existing 42-inch pipe is 86 feet with a 15-feet energy dissipater and to
be replaced by a proposed box culvert of 88 feet in length with additional energy pool
and flood bench.
Attached is the general information regarding the subject site for your review.
Site: 3507 Brookfield Drive at Unnamed Tributary to Horsepen Creek
in Greensboro NC.
Site Condition: Under sized Culvert.
If you have any further questions, please call me at [phone]

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.
Existing 42-inch RCP is undersized needs upgrading due to flooding of upstream properties.
Based on calculation of the drainage basin there is need for upgrade. The only other option is
DO NOTHING which may create legal action.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A 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.
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/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)
