Name of nearest body of water (stream, river, etc.) to Simmons Branch proposed project: 2b. Water Quality Classification of nearest receiving water: QNSW 2c. River basin: Neuse 3. Project Description 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The existing culvert consists of one 65 linear ft. concrete pipe, 5 ft. diameter, groove end entrance, pipe projecting from fill, and one 65 linear ft. concrete pipe, horizontal ellipse (4.9 ft. (W) x 3 ft. (H)), square edge with headwall. The general landuse surrounding the area is Residential. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: Work is within a City of Raleigh Right-of-Way in Simmons Branch. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of the proposed work is to reduce the frequency of flooding to houses upstream of Ravenwood Drive and on the roadway by providing additional flow area so that backwater during large events will be reduced. The middle culvert will be constructed 6 inches lower than the two outer culverts to maintain a low flow channel. Rip rap upstream and step pools downstream of the culverts will be included to maintain stability of the stream and prevent erosion. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Construction activity will include the removal and replacement of approximately 100 linear feet of roadway and embankments , foundation excavation for and construction of three 71 ft. long, 4 ft. high by 8 ft. wide reinforced concrete box culverts, with the middle culvert 6 inches lower than the two outer culverts to maintain a low flow channel, minor grading at the culvert ends to tie existing ground to proposed culvert inlets, and installation of the minimum length of rip rap required for stabilization for inlet protection and step pools for outlet protection. It is anticipated that earth moving equipment such as hydraulic excavators and/or bulldozers will be used. Project also includes construction of a temporary access road around the site. The access road will be in use while existing culverts are removed and box culverts are constructed. The access road is required to construct the work and the road is a dead end road. Access must be maintained at all times for safety. 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

Comments: Temporary impacts in buffer areas are for contractor access to Simmons branch to replace culvert and stabilize banks, installation of E&SC measures to protect stream and surrounding properties, and construction of a temporary access road for traffic flow while culvert is replaced. Permanent impacts are for installation of permanent turf reinforcement mat and riprap stabilization. Page 7 of 12 D. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The culvert replacement is required to minimize flooding. The replacement has been designed to disturb the minimal length of stream required for the culvert replacement. Proposed stream restoration/stabilization techniques and outlet protection will protect the stream from future erosion. The inlet and outlet protection measures have been minimized to include only the measures needed to prevent erosion and stabilize the stream bank. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Contractor will minimize impacts to stream and buffers by working within permitted project limits. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a.

If yes, then identify the square feet of impact to each zone of the riparian buffer that requires mitigation. Calculate the amount of mitigation required. 6c. 6d. 6e.

Total buffer mitigation required: 0 6g. If buffer mitigation is required, discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (e.g., payment to private mitigation bank, permittee responsible riparian buffer restoration, payment into an approved in-lieu fee fund). 6h. Comments: Mitigation is not required for steam restoration and stabilization. A large portion of the buffer disturbance will be a temporary impact which does not required mitigation. Page 9 of 12 E.

General Condition number 27, which lists the notification requirements for nationwide permits, states that "the prospective permittee shall not begin the activity unless 45 days have passed from the District Engineer's receipt of the complete notification and the prospective permittee has not received written notice from the District or Division Engineer." Accordingly, on March 27, 2009 the proposed work associated with the Ravenwood Drive Culvert Replacement was authorized under nationwide permit numbers 3 as proposed in your permit application. I have attached a copy of the applicable permit conditions. The expiration date for the permit authorization is March 19, 2012. You are authorized to place fill in 132 linear feet of Simmons Branch to dewater, replace, and stabilize the existing culverted crossing under Ravenwood Drive. Please note that your work is authorized by the above referenced permits provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the permit conditions and your submitted plans. Any violation of the conditions or deviation from your submitted plans may subject the permittee to a stop work order, a restoration order and/or appropriate legal action. Also note that your work is authorized until the NWPs are modified, reissued, or revoked. All of the existing NWPs are scheduled to be modified, reissued, or revoked prior to March 19, 2012. It is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the NWPs. We will issue a public notice when the NWPs are reissued. Furthermore, if you commence or are under contract to commence this activity before the date that the relevant nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve (12) months from the date of the modification or revocation of the NWP to complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of this nationwide permit. If, prior to the expiration date identified below, the nationwide permit authorization is reissued and/or modified, this verification will remain valid until the expiration date identified below, provided it complies with all new and/or modified terms and conditions. The District Engineer may, at any time, exercise his discretionary authority to modify, suspend, or revoke a case specific activity's authorization under any NWP. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this verification, any of the conditions of the permit.
