Brad:
The attached PCN for the Uwharrie Charter Middle School (SAW-2017-01797) is incomplete.
The Nationwide Permit (NWP) condition 23(a) (Mitigation) states: The activity must be designed to and constructed to avoid and
minimize adverse effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States, to the maximum extent practicable at the
project site.
Additionally, the NWP condition 32(b)(4) (Pre-construction notification) states: The description of the proposed activity and any
proposed mitigation measures should be sufficiently detailed to allow the district engineer to determine the adverse environmental
effects of the activity will be no more than minimal and to determine the need for compensatory mitigation or other mitigation
measures.
In order for use to continue evaluating the proposed project, please provide the following information:
1. A brief explanation of the roadway location and how it relates to avoiding the wetland impact area. Based on a review of the
proposed drawings and the preliminary stream/wetland drawings provided for the site visit, it appears the roadway could continue
westward further onto the site prior to turning north. This could potentially allow the road to only impact two stream segments and
no wetland areas.
2. Please provide a set of drawings/plans of the proposed fill and structures that clearly indicate the jurisdictional features on the
site. The current drawing does not clearly show the jurisdictional features. Please consider using color and/or heavier line
weights/hatching to distinguish jurisdictional waters from other features.
3. Please provide larger scale plans/drawings (plan view) of each impact area. These plans/drawings should clearly show the
proposed fill and/or culvert superimposed over the stream/wetland areas. In many cases, since streams have a meandering pattern,
the impact length of the stream is longer than the length of straight culvert being placed within it. Please indicate both the culvert
length and length of permanent and temporary impacts on the drawings.
4. Please provide larger scale profile and cross section plans/drawings for each road crossing. These should indicate the pipe(s)
diameter, clearly indicate the depth of pipe burial, and show the existing and proposed channel bed. Please show the proposed
imbedded rip rap on these drawings for the appropriate crossing.
Please provide the requested information within 30 days, or your application will be withdrawn. Feel free to contact me with any
questions or concerns.
