There will be 26.23 ft of impact within the easement. Please see line 34 of the attached
spreadsheet.
Thanks

Ti m,
Thanks for the information. We will work with John Hutton to see if there are further
questions from our end.
One thing that I may be missing that I don't see is how many linear feet of stream
channel within the easement will be affected by the PDE?
Thanks

Subject: Sockwell Road project
Nikki,
Thanks for the phone conversation yesterday. As we discussed, NCDOT is planning a
culvert replacement along Sockwell Road that is proposed to impact a mitigation
conservation easement held by the State for the Division of Mitigation Services
(DMS). Just for reference, we refer to the mitigation site as Agony Acres. Wildlands
Engineering is under contract with DMS to deliver mitigation credits from the mitigation
site. Therefore, any impacts to the site will affect the easement held by the State as
well as credits that Wildlands is in the process of generating. This site is currently in
Year 3 monitoring.
Here are the steps that we will have to go through if NCDOT desires to impact the Agony
Acres site:
1) NCDOT must demonstrate steps of avoidance and minimization to the easement
as well as the stream. This is not the same as avoidance and minimization for
the 404/401 permit. Specifically, what steps were taken to avoid the mitigation
site? This is critical to determine if all alternatives have been exhausted in
ensuring protection of the mitigation site and the stream resource.
2) NCDOT must provide DMS (and Wildlands) an overlay of the area of proposed
impact shown with the easement boundary. The map must indicated the
specific stream footage and buffer acreage proposed to be impacted (both
permeant and temporary).
3) We need a copy of your hydrologic analysis report for determining culvert sizing
and placement.
4) If DMS (and Wildlands) and NCDOT can come to some resolution concerning the
above (and other questions that will arise in the review), DMS and NCDOT
would present a proposed encroachment plan to the Interagency Review Team
for their approval. Note that the IRT has consistently assessed a penalty of at
least 2:1 for impacting stream mitigation projects.
5) NCDOT will need a right of entry from SPO prior to working in the easement
boundary. SPO will not issue that right of entry until DMS provides the
approval. In addition to the above, the following would have to be met prior to
DMS approval for an right of entry:
a. NCDOT will have to provide a metes and bounds survey of the proposed
encroachment area with specific footage of stream and buffer impact.
b. NCDOT will provide compensation for mitigation credits lost.
c. NCDOT will bear all costs if any for easement modification.
In addition to the above, DMS and Wildlands have the following questions concerning
the proposed encroachment:
• How many linear feet of channel will be permanently impacted from the pipe
extension and rip rap?
• How many linear feet of channel will be temporarily impacted during
construction?
• How many acres of conservation easement will be permanently impacted? Will
any portion of the CE become DOT Right-of-way?
• Will there be other temporary impacts to the riparian buffer?
• Can we be provided a copy of the sediment and erosion control plan for the
culvert replacement?
• Can DOT shift the work in such a way that the impacts are isolated to the south
side of the road away from the project?
• Can DOT clarify the existing and proposed pipe inverts (upstream and
downstream) and slope of pipes?
• Please confirm that the alignment of the proposed pipe matches the alignment
of the existing pipe.
• Would it be possible to deflect the north end of the pipe to the west to better
align with the downstream channel alignment?
• Can you clarify the existing and proposed pipe size?
There are 2 mitigation projects along Sockwell Road (UT to Reedy Fork and Agony
Acres). Will DOT impact any of the other locations along this road? Refer to that map
above for reference to the second culvert abutting Agony Acres. KMZs are attached as
well for both projects indicating easement boundaries.
For the time being, I will be the POC for this situation on our end. Feel free to contact
me anytime as we go through this process.
Thanks
Tim
