RE: Revised Plans for Tate Boulevard Access New Research Park
DWQ Project #08-1218
Dear Mr. Krebs:
I am submitting the enclosed revised plans on behalf of my client CCF Associates I, LP
& Whitener. The plans and reports include the following revised information based upon
comments we received from your office dated September 30, 2008:
1. The plans have been revised to reduce and minimize the impacts to the
drainageway. The culvert length has been reduced, headwalls have been
added, and the energy dissipater has been reduced and designed to utilized
natural stone cobbles.
2. The energy dissipater is now specified to be embedded in the channel bottom
without matting.
3. The impacts page of the application has been revised as requested.
4. We respectfully disagree with DWQ on the intent of the first phase of this
project. The proposed improvements are for an access driveway and not an
access road. No rights-of-way are proposed; therefore the project area divided
by the total tract area (0.97acres /15.4 acres) indicates that only 6.3% of the
site will be developed at this time. This should be considered "low density"
and currently qualifies for the exemption from the SMP.
5. By definition the project is exempt from the SMP. A SMP will be prepared
when further development of the site is proposed.
6. A conceptual SMP for the entire site is impractical at this time since the actual
site layout and future use of the site is unknown at this time. During these
difficult economic times it is quite understandable that one would not want to
invest in services that are based upon a sketch plan and not an actual proposed
layout of the site.

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 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 (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
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.

NATIONWIDE PERMIT 14
PROPOSED TATE BOULEVARD CULVERT INSTALLATION
UT TO MILLER BRANCH DRAINAGE BASIN
CATAWBA COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
REVISED PROJECT NARRATIVE p ?? J
DEC,' 1 b 2008
DENR - WAi EN QuAL 1 .
Introduction WETLANDS AND STORMWAMR' bkkl t M
The Tate Boulevard culvert installation is part of a plan to develop a research
park in the central portion of Hickory (Figure 1). Completion of this project
would affect areas under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdiction,
specifically 84 linear feet of stream for culvert installation. These are
unavoidable and required to provide channel stability and hydraulic function.
Site Location and Description .
The unnamed tributary (UT) to Miller Branch drains approximately 0.29 miz
from Highland Avenue south to the confluence with Miller Branch. The
unnamed tributary discharges to Miller Branch which flows into Clark Creek.
The site consists primarily of vacant wooded land and is adjacent to Tate
Boulevard. The land use in the vicinity is predominately commercial and
industrial. The site is zoned for industrial use.
Design constraints for the Tate Boulevard culvert crossing include large trees
upstream and downstream of the culvert along the channel banks. The latitude
and longitude coordinates are 1.98825N 3.648572E.
The topography on the property consists of moderately sloping terrain. The
UT flows from north to south under Tate Boulevard. The project area
generally drains to the south, away from Tate Boulevard, eventually draining
into Miller Branch. The site is located in the Catawba river basin (HUC
03050102).
Proposed Culvert Installation for Tate Boulevard Access Page 2
Jurisdictional Waters/Wetlands of the U.S.
Streams: One perennial stream (as described by a NCDWQ representative) is
located in the central portion of the project area. This stream is a.tributary to
Miller Branch and is unnamed on the property boundary survey. The channel is
typically fifteen feet wide. Wetlands are present in the project area and are only
slightly impacted by the culvert installation. Approximately 900 square feet of
in channel wetland impact and 460 square feet of out of channel wetland
impact for a total impact of 1,360 square feet or 0.03 acres. The impact is
caused primarily by the culvert and the road fill directly over the culvert.
Avoidance and Minimization
Due to stream location, access considerations, and project requirements,
impacts to streams are unavoidable. The proposed culvert will be installed with
a headwall and an endwall to minimize the impacts to the stream and wetlands
The roadway width and fill slopes have been minimized while still fulfilling
geometry and traffic considerations. Stream disturbance width will be
minimized and all conditions of NWP 14 will be complied with. The final site
plan is the most practicable configuration in that it allows a usable yield of land
area while carefully configuring and placing infrastructure, utility lines, and
roads to minimize stream impact.
Jurisdictional Impacts
The total area of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to be impacted by the
proposed culvert installation project is 84 linear feet (0.02 acres) of stream fill
(Figure 2).
The stream fill is generated by a road crossing necessary to access the site.
The impact is required due to geometry constraints for the culvert installation
accessing the Tate Boulevard ROW and is located adjacent to the stream fill.
The amount of fill was minimized by the proposed cast-in-place headwall and
endwall.
Best Management Practices
Prior to the beginning of any construction activities, the applicant will
implement Best Management Practices (BMP's) to minimize erosion and
Proposed Culvert Installation for Tate Boulevard Access Page 3
migration of sediments into affected waterways (streams and wetlands) during
the construction phase. Since the total earth disturbance for this project is less
than one acre, review and permitting are not required. at this time.. However, a.
detailed Erosion Control Plan has been developed and is included with this
submission. It includes.appropriate erosion and siltation control devices placed
between the construction area and adjacent waterways. These devices include
the use of mulches, check dams, silt fences, or other devices capable. of
preventing erosion and migration of sediments. Monitoring of BMP's will take
place in accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina for
construction activity to assure that the erosion and sediment control devices
are installed properly and maintained in a functioning condition.
Compensatory Mitigation
Compensatory mitigation is not proposed for this project. The project design
minimizes impacts to waters of the US such that less than 150 feet of
intermittent stream is impacted. In addition, strict erosion control during
construction will further minimize water quality impacts.
Riparian and Watershed Buffers
Impacts to the riparian buffer will be minimal with only the removal of some
small trees along the stream banks and in the vicinity of the culvert installation.
The trees that are removed will be replaced and the buffer replanted with
appropriate native species. The culvert installation at Tate Boulevard does not
result in an increase in impervious surfaces. There are no stream buffer rules
in effect in the project area.
Floodplain Encroachment
The proposed project will not encroach upon the 100-year floodplain and is not
in a flood hazard area.
Threatened and Endangered Species
Table 1 below lists threatened and endangered species in Catawba County. No
protected species or suitable habitat was observed in the project area. The
proposed project is not likely to adversely affect any protected species.

STORMWATER ANALYSIS
FOR.
PROPOSED DRIVEWAY ACCESS ONTO TATE BOULEVARD
CITY OF HICKORY, NORTH, CAROLINA
This report contains a stormwater analysis of the stormwater conveyance system as
part of the proposed access drive onto Tate Boulevard. The project is located within
Catawba County and within the City of Hickory's ETJ. Runoff from on and off site is
intercepted by the proposed driveway access onto Tate Boulevard. Adequate
stormwater conveyance facilities are necessary to direct the runoff in a non-erosive
manner. The project in located in the watershed of an unnamed tributary of the Miller
Branch of Clark Creek. The proposed earth disturbance for the construction of the
proposed access drive is 0.98 acres.
The Rational Method was used to determine the peak flows for the 10 year storm
event. The runoff coefficient "c" number was based on assumed future development
conditions and soil map data. The soil is predominantly from hydrologic soil group
"B". A 5 minute time-of-concentration (Tc) was assumed since the site will most likely
be developed as an industrial / commercial park. The amount of impervious cover
assumed in the analysis was also generous to insure adequate capacity in the proposed
storm sewer systems. Rainfall data for the intensity-duration-factor was obtained
from existing data for Hickory FAA Airport, North Carolina from NOAA Atlas 14.
A post development analysis was performed of the drainage areas contributing to the
proposed stormwater conveyance facilities from the site and upslope property. The
point of analyses included a proposed storm sewer at the entrance of the driveway
onto Tate Boulevard and a proposed storm sewer located within a driveway which
extends to the western portion of the property.

EROSION CONTROL NARRATIVE
FOR
PROPOSED SITE ACCESS ON TO TATE BOULEVARD
HICKORY, NORTH CAROLINA
PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT
The purpose of the project is to a construct approximately 625 linear feet of
site access drives with related grading, drainage, erosion control measures and
paving. The project is located within the City of Hickory's ETJ, on Tate
Boulevard, west of Fairgrove Church Road. Approximately 0.98 acres will be
disturbed during the construction period. The project is located in Catawba
County, North Carolina.
The project will include clearing, grubbing, grading, installation of erosion
control measures, and seeding and grassing.
SITE CONDITIONS
The site consists primarily of vacant wooded land and is adjacent to Tate
Boulevard. The land use in the vicinity is predominately commercial and
industrial. The site is zoned for industrial use. Soils are primarily Hiawassee -
Cecil and hydrological group B & C.
All work is within the existing property boundaries and NC DOT right-of-ways.
PROPOSED EROSION /SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES
The North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual
was used as the primary reference for the subject project. Temporary and
permanent erosion control measures will include, but not limited to, check
dams, riprap, inlet protection, diversion ditches and vegetative stabilization
(See plans).
The project i.s primarily designed to provide driveway access to two future
commercial /industrial sites. The contractor will be required to follow
construction sequence:
1) Obtain erosion control permit from. DENR (if earth disturbance exceeds
one acre)
2) Obtain driveway permit from NC DOT
3) Install temporary construction entrance
4) Begin clearing areas as required to install temporary erosion control
measures. Install filter fence and diversion ditches with check dams.
5) Continue clearing / grubbing remainder of construction area upslope
of erosion control devices
6) Install toe ditch at base of driveway fill section (West Drive) with silt
fence
7) Install proposed 96" diameter creek culvert with cast-in-past
headwall, endwall and wingwalls. Low impact outlet protection using
natural stream cobbles or imbedded stone shall be utilized.
8) Complete rough grading - seed & grass all completed slopes within 21
calendar days
9) Install proposed drainage pipes, catch basins & temporary inlet
protection
10) Install proposed curb & gutter
11) Backfill & shape shoulder areas behind curb lines
12) Install stone base
13) Install pavement surface
14) Seed, grass & restore all remaining disturbed areas. Erosion control
measures shall be removed as direction by the Engineer and NC DENR.

NOTE: The designer must use judgement to select the appropriate C
value within the range for the appropriate land use. Generally, larger
areas with permeable soils, flat slopes, and dense vegetation should
have lowest C values. Smaller areas with slowly permeable soils, steep
slopes, and sparse vegetation should be assigned highest C values.

Hydrologic Soil Group-Catawba County, North Carolina
Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation
from long-duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly
wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or
gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained
soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils
have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water
transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer
at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material.
These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their
natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
