Brad,
Are you sure impact area #1 only has 7 linear feet of impacts due to rip rap? It appears there is some located both up
and downstream of the proposed pipe. That would only be 3.5 feet at each end.
Also, there appears to be rip rap at impact area 3, but I don't see it listed on the drawing or in the PCN.
Thanks for checking this. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sue and Andy,
Please find the applicant responses below and associated attachments. Let me know if you have any questions or needs
for additional information. Thanks.
Please find attached agent authorization from the owner/applicant.

2. Based upon DWR stream classification and visit, the areas of stream impact are classified as intermittent streams.
During the site visit, DWR determined that the stream below the confluence of ISC and ISCA is perennial. An updated
wetland map documenting DWR's stream classifications is included as an attachment.
3. According the to the civil: 1) Density Thresholds - met per previous submittal 2) Dispersed Flow - Our site
discharges back into existing streams and/or into vegetated areas long before it leaves our site. 3) Vegetated
Conveyances - Not applicable. Our conveyances are pipes. 4) Curb Outlet Systems - Our outlets are into vegetated areas
or natural streams. Velocity requirements are met per the approved NCDENR permit.
4. Impact #1 crossing has been redesigned such that the stream area within the rip -rap dissipater will be relocated to
better align discharge to the down -gradient un -impacted stream channel. The applicant evaluated redesigning the
culvert to better align discharge to the down -gradient receiving stream; however, it was determined that it would
impact more stream channel to do so. Therefore, in efforts to avoid and minimize impacts to WoUS, the applicant
determined that relocation of the stream within the rip -rap dissipater would cause less impact to the environment and
achieve better alignment of discharge to the down -gradient receiving stream. An updated copy of the PCN form that
documents this is included as an attachment.
Sincerely,
Bradley S. Luckey, PWS

Brad,
I have the following issues that will need to be addressed:

1. The owner is listed as Uwharrie Green School Inc, but your agent authorization form is signed by Uwharrie Charter
Academy. These need to match.
2. 1 will need to verify the streams as intermittent. I'll be in Asheboro on 1/3 and would have time to run by this site if
that works for you/Pilot
3. General Certification states that the definition of Low Density is per 15A NCAC 02H .1003. Percent impervious is
not the only criteria. Based on the plans submitted, I cannot verify that this project meets all of the criteria for Low
Density projects. You'll need to provide more detail to verify that it qualifies as Low Density, or you'll need to provide
one of the two options listed in Condition 1.5 for High Density projects.
4. It appears that the culvert outlet location Impact #1 within a bend in the stream. Please realign the culvert to
better address stream alignment or otherwise address this concern.
I'll have to send a formal hold letter the first week in January. Feel free to send me any partial responses in the
meantime and that will reduce the number of items on my formal hold letter.
Thanks,

They show the scaled cross sections --its off the site of the plan view's blow up. Its not very blow up but legible and
includes all the requested items.

Brad,
I don't see our #4 on the attached drawings. They have provided typical drawings for temporary crossings (which they
don't have). The cross section should be specific to this plan and should also show the proposed rip rap pad.
Please call me if you have any questions. Thanks.

Good Morning Andy,
On behalf of the Applicant, Pilot has provided the below responses and attachments as requested. Please let me know if
you need additional clarification. Thanks.
1) Traffic control and pedestrian safety are the largest factors why moving the crossing westward and then to the north
is not feasible. Traffic enters and exits from US 220 Business and the current design has a stacking que for dual lanes of
1,100 linear feet for peak demand during student drop-off/pick-up. Additionally, the current design does not interfere
with staff/visitor parking accessing parking lots by crossing student drop off/pick-up traffic pattern. The current design
allows a free flow of movement for vehicles back towards US 220 Business without a crossing pattern. If the crossing
was moved westward to avoid wetland impacts and then continue to the north then there would be a need for a stop
sign and staff/visitors to cross pedestrian drop-off/pickup traffic. Additionally, the resulting driveway length of a more
westward design would not meet the anticipated vehicular stacking requirements during peak pedestrian and student
drop-off/pick-up.
2-4) Please find the attached updated impact exhibits that addresses these requests.
Sincerely,
Bradley S. Luckey, PWS

NOTIFICATION
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.
