HomeMy WebLinkAbout20081863 Ver 1_401 Application_20081208ARCADIS Infrastructure, environment, buildings Mr. Thomas Brown U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 105 Wake Forest, NC 27587 Subject: PCN Application Dear Mr. Brown: 08-1863 RAID Attached is a PCN application for waste removal at a former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) in Wilson, North Carolina. This work is being conducted for the City of Wilson. The site is situated in an urban/residential area just west of Ward Boulevard and north of Seaboard Coastline Railroad. An excavator will be used to remove contaminated soil and sediment from the floodplain and streambed. The contaminated material will be hauled off-site by dump trucks and general fill material will be used to return the floodplain to existing elevations. Fill material, similar to the existing substrate, will be used to restore the streambed to existing grade. Excavation of the streambed will occur under dry conditions, as a pump-around system will be installed in the work area. One perennial stream will be temporarily impacted by these activities. Upon completion of waste removal, the stream will be restored to existing conditions. A floodplain bench will be excavated on the south side of the stream and the stream banks will be planted and matted to prevent erosion. In addition, a cross vane will be installed at the downstream end of the reach to provide grade control and bank protection. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call. Thank you for reviewing this application. Sincerely, ARCADIS G&M of North Carolina, Inc.

Project Information Updated 11/1/2005 Page 5 of 13 Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property boundaries and development plans in relation to, surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings, impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion, so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format; however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided. 1.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Site is situated in an urban/residential area. Abandoned MGP buildings have been demolished but concrete pads remain City of Wilson Fire Training Facility is located to the north water reservoir for city to the south Ward Blvd and Seaboard Coastline Railroad to the east and cemetery to the west The stream has been straightened Updated 11/1/2005 Page 6 of 13 and is incised but beginning to build bankfull benches within entrenched channel Dense shrubby vegetation is present on stream banks but quickly transitions to grasses within 10 to 15 feet from top of bank. Floodplain is dominated by grasses (see attached photos). 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: MGP waste (mostly tar) will be removed from the site. An excavator will be used to remove contaminated soil and sediment from the floodplain and streambed The contaminated material will be hauled off-site by dump trucks. General fill material will be used to return the floodplain to existing elevations. Fill material similar to existing substrate will be used to restore streambed to existing grade. Excavation of the streambed will occur under dry conditions. Water will be pumped around work area and discharged into the existing culvert under Ward Blvd. See the attached Erosion Control Plan Sheet for additional details 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of this work is to remove the tar and other waste products from the site in an effort to eliminate potential hazards to human health and the environment. IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. ARCADIS met Martin Richmond (NCDWO) on-site on November 13, 2008 to discuss potential buffer impacts associated with this project Mr. Richmond identified the stream reach within the project site as perennial and therefore subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rules. However, Mr. Richmond also stated that this project would have an "exempt" status due to the rule that allows "Removal of previous fill or debris provided that diffuse flow is maintained and any vegetation removed is restored" (15A NCAC 02B 0233) Due to the exempt status, this project does not require buffer mitigation At Mr. Richmond's request any portion of the 50 ft. buffer that is disturbed during construction will be replanted with native riparian vegetation The planting _plan is attached A jurisdictional determination has not been issued for this site. V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. No future permit requests are anticipated. VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State Updated 11/1/2005 Page 7 of 13 It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The streambed of S 1 will be excavated to remove tar and other MGP waste and then restored to existing grade using fill material similar to existing substrate. All work within the streambed will be conducted in the dry. The water will be pumped around the work area and discharged into the existing culvert under Ward Blvd. Figure 3 depicts the proposed stream impacts. 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both stnictnre nnrd flnnrlina Wetland Impact Site Number (indicate on map) Type of Impact Type of Wetland (e.g., forested, marsh, herbaceous, bog, etc.) Located within 100-year Floodplain (yes/no) Distance to Nearest Stream (linear feet) Area of Impact (acres) Total Wetland Impact (acres) 0 3.

Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 13 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. Temporary impacts to S1 cannot be avoided because the only way to remove the waste is to excavate the streambed Impacts will be minimized by installing a pump-around system during construction so that work will be conducted under dry conditions. The pump-around system will also ensure that no contaminant is carried downstream during excavation activities. 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. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 10 of 13 Impacts will be temporary as the streambed will be restored to existing grade after waste is removed. In addition, a floodplain bench will be excavated during construction to increase the width of the active floodplain, and boulder cross-vanes (detail attached) will be installed to provide grade control. Erosion control matting and live stakes will be installed to provide bank protection. Native vegetation will be replanted in any portion of the 50 ft. stream buffer that is disturbed during excavation (planting plan is attached). No further miti ag tion measures are proposed. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://www.nceep.net/pages/inlieureplace.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): IX.

If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. This project is considered exempt per the rule that allows "Removal of previous fill or debris provided that diffuse flow is maintained and any vegetation removed is restored" (15A NCAC 02B 0233)Therefore buffer mitigation is not required for this project. Figure 2 depicts Neuse River Buffers as they Lapply to S1. XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. Existing impervious surface within the work zone consists of 0.77 acre which is approximately 3% of total area within the parcel The proposed project should decrease the amount of impervious surface at the site as some of the paved areas will not be repaved upon project completion Silt fence block and gravel inlet protection, and a pump-around system will be used to protect surface waters during excavation XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. There will be no wastewater generated from this project XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ?

Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: No additional development is anticipated as a result of this project. XV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). The project is anticipated to begin in January 2009. There are no foreseeable constraints that would affect the project schedule. l/• plicant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

The plan consists of 1) acquisition of available plant species, 2) implementation of proposed Site preparation, and 3) planting of selected species. Species selected for planting will be dependent upon availability of local seedling sources. Areas that have been compacted during excavation (i.e. haul roads or staging/stockpile areas), and are within the planting zone, will be loosened by ripping or plowing. The top six inches of soil will be scarified in the planting zone to promote water retention and infiltration. Bare-root seedlings of tree species (small stream swamp community) will be planted in disturbed areas within, the buffer at a density of approximately 680 stems per acre on 8-foot centers. Shrub species in the stream-side assemblage will be planted along the stream banks at a density of 2720 stems per acre on 4-foot centers. Table 8 depicts the total number of stems and species distribution within each vegetation association. Planting will be performed between January 1 and March 15 to allow plants to stabilize during the dormant period and set root during the spring season. Table 8.
