III. Project Information
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 maybe 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.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: SR-10 is an existing training range for tanks and other
mobile artillery The range consists of roads electronically controlled pop-up targets and
electronically controlled targets on tracks Prior to purchase and development by the US
Marine Corers the land was owned by International Paper Company and was managed for
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 6 of 14

silviculture Ditches for controlling surface water were excavated throughout the tract and
are still.present During construction of the tank training range ditching was modified to
var i~rl,g degrees (realigned blocked etc) Presently the majority of the range is considered
jurisdictional wetlands pursuant to the Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetlands Dehneatlon
Manual Devel~ment presently on the property was authorized by Department of the Army
permits The range is primarilysandy soils frequently saturated to the surface or shallowly
flooded Vegetation is mowed several time~er year
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Contractor
is Advent Environmental Inc. Culverts will be installed beneath AMTC-MAl and AMTC-
MB 1 Pending the final specifications of the prof ect a determination will be made as to the
appropriate method of installation (jack & bore or directional bore) which will determine
whether a bore pit and receiving_pit are required It is likely that only receiving Alts will have
to be excavated for this specific project A backhoe or excavator will be used to excavate the
bore pit (if necessary) and receiving pit which will be lame enough to set the dnlhng
epuipment and provide working space Bore~its would be approx 25' by 30' receiving pits
would be ~prox 10' by 15' in size Depths of the pits are dependent upon that needed to
adequately instalUreceive the culvert Excavated material is placed on and confined to plastic
fabric as near as possible to the excavation
During directional bore installation once the drilling equipment is in place the drill advances
and retracts the drill bit through the road bed while continuously lubricating the shaft and
removing the cuttings and spoils to maintain the integrity of the hole. The operator directs a
drill string head with a cutter bit in conjunction with a locating and guidance system,
towards a pre determined exit point The operator connects the strings of small diameter
pipes (drill strings) to~rovide a pilot hole Following the drilling of the pilot hole, aback-
reamer bit is used to enlarge the pilot hole to its required diameter. Finally the operator
connects a pulling head and bearing swivel to~ull the specified diameter pipe (either HDPE
or Steel through the bored channel.
The boring and lacking (lack & bore operation is a simultaneous operation consisting of an
auger boring a circular hole progressively ahead of the encasement pipe as it is being lacked
into the void As the boring operation progresses the spoils and drilling mud are augered
back into the boring pit for removal Once a section of encasement pipe has been lacked into
the void anew section of pipe is butt-welded to the previously installed section.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 7 of 14

After pipes are installed to required grade any drilling mud and excess excavated material is
removed by excavator to a suitable high ground location the equipment is removed from the
pits and the areas are backfilled with an excavator or backhoe rou~ll-graded seeded with an
annual aroundcover, and mulched.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Establish site drainage and reduce or eliminate
flooding of the range from routine~recipitation events Initial construction of the range did
not incorporate all necessary drainage structures and did not maintain existln~ ditch
connections or continuity.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
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.

techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Proiect involves temporary
excavations to allow equipment access to install the culverts. Following completion of each
culvert installation excavated material will be used to return disturbed areas to pre-proiect
conditions All excess material and drilling "mud" will be removed to an approved high ground
disposal area Disturbed wetland areas will be seeded and mulched with an annual ground cover.
Reve~etation from surrounding native species is antic~ated to commence during the first
growing season
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 maybe 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 prof ect, 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, available at
http : /1120. enr. state. n c. us/ncwetl ands/stun ai de.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)
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.
No mitigation is necessary as the proiect involves tempor~pacts. All disturbed
wetland areas will be returned to pre-proiect elevations following completion of construction.
