Sue,

We have provided additional information to Jean Gibby, and she will be permitting this project under 2 NWP numbers. The
culvert and bank stabilization portions of the project will be permitted under Nationwide 18, and the stream restoration portion of
the project will be permitted under Nationwide 27. There were no revisions to the design.
Let me know if you need anything from me in order to complete the 401 Certification.
Thanks for all of your help with this project.

Hi Amy,

I understand that you spoke with Jean recently and that you may be revisiting the plans/impacts for this project. I suggest that you
request that I place the application on hold until you get back to me about this. If I were to issue the 401 now and you change the
design then you’d have to submit for a modification (and pay another application fee). You can request the hold by email, that
will be sufficient for my purposes. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

Thanks,

Sue & Jean,

Here are the revised pipe network and stream sheets showing Line E entering the stream. We decided to allow the pipe to
discharge to the bankfull bench and provide a stone connector to the stream. We did relocate the discharge a little further
downstream to allow the flow to enter the stream at an angle.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or need additional information to approve these plans.

Thanks.

Sue,

Sue,

Yes, I believe it will be feasible (and desirable) for Line E to be modified to enter the stream at an angle. I will work with Kris
Bass to determine the best location/alignment for that discharge. I can get you a revised sheet with that modification, but it will
likely be a week or so before I can get that turned around. Let me know if the delay causes a problem and I will try to get that
turned around more quickly.

Jean,

I reviewed the NWP-14 and the only limitation is that the impact does not cause the loss of greater than ½ acre of waters of the
US. The impact under NWP-14 is limited to the minimum necessary and be in the immediate vicinity of the project. Although
the worst area of bank failure is in the location that we propose to pipe and fill, there are other areas along West End Boulevard
where the banks are experiencing significant erosion. The entire length of stream within the project area is located adjacent to
West End Boulevard and the roadway is located at the top of the left streambank.

If this project should be permitted under a different NWP, please advise.

Thanks.

Amy,

A couple quick questions:

 Your PCN indicates 166 linear feet of fill in a perennial stream. Although DWR does not require mitigation for this
length of impact, the USACE typically does. Have you discussed this with Jean Gibby at all?
 Line E of the new stormwater pipes appears to outlet into the stream at a perpendicular angle to the channel. We prefer
stormwater pipes be aligned with stream flow as much as possible to reduce shear stress along the opposite bank. Is it
feasible to modify that alignment to address our concern?

Jean,

I suggested to Amy that I thought it was feasible to cover the fill portion of this project under a NWP14 because it is to protect the
road/shoulder. Can the stream enhancement/restoration work downstream also be covered under a NWP14 or would you cover
that under a NWP27? I didn’t see a set of plans that included that at the time so I didn’t think to mention it to her. I just need to
be sure I issue the 401 for the correct GC(s).

Thanks,

Karen Higgins,
Jean Gibby,
Sue Homewood,

I am planning to send the PCN/Request for Water Quality Certification for the Spring Park Slope Stabilization, Stream
Restoration, Drainage and Roadway Improvements Project located in Winston Salem next week. The plan set has 41 sheets,
including roadway plans & cross sections, traffic control, pavement markings, etc… Is it acceptable to send an abbreviated set of
plans?

I am proposing to send the following sections:

Cover Sheet & Vicinity Map
Notes, Abbreviations, & Legend
Existing Conditions
3

Erosion & Sediment Control & Details
Demolition Plan
Stormwater Drainage System Plan (Plan & Profile Only, no details)
Stream Restoration Plan (with details)
Planting Plan

This set excludes Roadway Plan, Traffic Control Plan, and Stormwater Details. This will reduce the plan set from 41 sheets to 14
sheets.

Please let me know if a full set is preferred.

Thanks.
