Carolina Wetland Services Project No. 2006-1469
Dear Mr. Williams:
I am pleased to provide you with the additional information you requested during our phone
conversation on April 1, 2009, regarding the permit application for the Russell/Taylor/Grimes Storm
Drainage Improvement Project (USACE Action ID# SAW-2008-03059).
The following bullets present the USACE comments and our responses. The USACE comments are
highlighted with bold font.
1. Details of Low Flow Channel Through Culverts
Monolithic concrete sills will be installed on the sides of all culverts to ensure that minimum
flow is maintained through the culverts and aquatic life movement is maintained. Details of
these concrete sills are included as Plan Sheets 2E, 2F, 21, and 2J (attached).
2. Signed PCN Joint Forms
Signed Nationwide Permit PCN Joint Forms are attached. As requested, all impacts
previously listed under NWP #3 are now to be permitted under NWP #'s 14 and 18. A revised
version Table I (from March 19`h 2009 submittal) is include below and reflects these changes.

Accounting of temporary construction impacts to be permitted under NWP 33
Temporary construction impacts will be permitted under a NWP # 33. These impacts include
temporary construction crossings, rock check-dams, coffer dams, and dewatering. These
impacts are temporary and necessary in order to construct the project. All temporary
structures will be removed. Temporary construction impacts are shown in Sheets EC 1 to EC7
(attached) and are summarized in the revised Table 3 (from March 19`h 2009 submittal) below.

Monitoring Plan for Biostabilized Stream Reach.
The proposed biostabilized stream reach will be monitored for a period of five years from the
completion of the work. The purpose of this monitoring is to ensure the success of the
proposed biostabilization and to enable remedial action to be undertaken in a timely fashion if
necessary. Due to the size and types of activity proposed, Minimum Level Monitoring will be
enacted. This includes vegetation survival monitoring for at least five years of monitoring
(unless approved otherwise).
After completion of the biostabilization work, annual reports will be sent to the USACE and
NCDWQ following the completion of each annual monitoring event. The monitoring events
will be conducted at the same time of year during mid-growing season. The report will
include photographs, vegetation survival counts, and a narrative describing current site
conditions. Photographs will be taken from no fewer than three established monitoring
positions. The exact locations will be determined, marked with a stake, and recorded with a
GPS receiver in the field during the first monitoring event and used in each of the following
monitoring events.
Vegetation survival counts will be collected from five randomly selected plots within the
monitored area. The plot locations will be randomly determined in the office using the
coordinates of the monitoring area. Each plot will be at least 144 square feet in area. The total
area of plots is equal to 10% of the monitoring area. Within these vegetation plots, all
vegetation will be counted, identified to the species level, and assigned a classification of
"Planted" or "Volunteer" indicating its source.
The success criteria set for this project is a planted vegetation survival rate of 85%. If the
survival rate drops to below 85% during the monitoring period, remedial plantings will be
conducted to meet the 85% threshold.
Monitoring Plan for the Proposed Daylighted Stream Reach
The proposed daylighted stream reach will be monitored for a period of five years from the
completion of the work. The purpose of this monitoring is to ensure the success and stability
of the proposed new channel and to enable remedial action to be undertaken in a timely
fashion if necessary. Following construction of the new channel, two (2) permanent cross-
sections will be established along the new channel. The exact locations of these cross-sections
will be determined in the field and marked with stakes on both sides of the channel. The
locations of the cross-sections will be recorded with a GPS receiver in the field during the first
monitoring event and used in each of the following monitoring events.
Channel cross-sections will be surveyed at each of the permanent cross-section locations on an
annual basis for a period of five (5) years. Surveyed cross-sections will be compared with
cross-sections recorded on previous years and will the design cross-section (Sheet TS 1,
attached). This will provide a measure of channel stability. Photographs will be taken from
each of the established permanent cross-sections at each monitoring event.
The success criteria set for the new stream channel is for the channel to remain in a stable
condition, without excessive erosion or sedimentation, and in its design location. If
monitoring reveals evidence of instability such as excessive widening, entrenchment, or lateral
migration, remedial action will be taken to ensure the stability of the channel.

3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
1,791 linear feet of Perennial RPW stream channel
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Portions of Stream A within the project area are dominated by rip rap, retaining walls, and other forms of hard
stabilization; as a result, lower reaches of this channel are experiencing increased bank failures and sedimentation from
large rainfall events. The majority of the riparian zone has been degraded and is not providing adequate canopy
coverage for in-stream habitat and protection from surface water runoff. By applying enhancement techniques, the City of
High Point proposes to improve water quality within this local watershed.

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.
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. To avoid and
minimize permanent impacts to the restored channel, the design team performed an alternatives analysis to determine
the need for rip rap along the toe of the stream bank and floodplain benches within the restored channel length. A reach-
by-reach discussion of the rationale for the proposed stabilization techniques is provided in the "Response to DWQ 11-
25-08 Comments" (attached). This discussion relies upon computed shear stresses in the channel for the bankfull storm
event, 2-year storm event, and 10-year storm event. The calculations show an average shear stress for the 10 year
storm of 1.44 Ib/ft2 (attached as Table 3). It has been the experience of the design engineer that synthetic fiber matting is
only capable of withstanding 2.0 Ib/ft2. Several sections of the channel show shear stress greater then this threshold for
the 10 year storm event and several sections are currently lined with rip rap. In order to avoid pockets of instability within
the channel in the future, a unified design theme (a combination of bio-stabilization and rip rap at toe) was selected as the
preferred alternative.
The majority of impacts associated with this project are temporary in nature and will result in the stream having better
access to its floodplain, more stable banks, and an increase in the diversity of in-stream habitat types. Computations that
support the design of the floodplain benching have been included for your review. The design used the North Carolina
Piedmont Urban Regional Curves to develop the appropriate new channel dimensions. The existing and proposed cross
sections have been attached as Figures 2 through 4 (Construction Plans - Sheet TS1).
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The grading/stabilization will be stopped at the shortest point as dictated by the channel's profile and stability. Proper
sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.. All work will be
conducted in the dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 3689.

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.
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. To avoid and
minimize permanent impacts to the restored channel, the design team performed an alternatives analysis to determine
the need for rip rap along the toe of the stream bank and floodplain benches within the restored channel length. A reach-
by-reach discussion of the rationale for the proposed stabilization techniques is provided in the "Response to DWQ 11-
25-08 Comments" (attached). This discussion relies upon computed shear stresses in the channel for the bankfull storm
event, 2-year storm event, and 10-year storm event. The calculations show an average shear stress for the 10 year
storm of 1.44 Ib/ft2 (attached as Table 3). It has been the experience of the design engineer that synthetic fiber matting is
only capable of withstanding 2.0 Ib/ft2. Several sections of the channel show shear stress greater then this threshold for
the 10 year storm event and several sections are currently lined with rip rap. In order to avoid pockets of instability within
the channel in the future, a unified design theme (a combination of bio-stabilization and rip rap at toe) was selected as the
preferred alternative.
The majority of impacts associated with this project are temporary in nature and will result in the stream having better
access to its floodplain, more stable banks, and an increase in the diversity of in-stream habitat types. Computations that
support the design of the floodplain benching have been included for your review. The design used the North Carolina
Piedmont Urban Regional Curves to develop the appropriate new channel dimensions. The existing and proposed cross
sections have been attached as Figures 2 through 4 (Construction Plans - Sheet TS1).
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The grading/stabilization will be stopped at the shortest point as dictated by the channel's profile and stability. Proper
sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.. All work will be
conducted in the dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 3687.

by-reach discussion of the rationale for the proposed stabilization techniques is provided in the "Response to DWQ 11-
25-08 Comments" (attached). This discussion relies upon computed shear stresses in the channel for the bankfull storm
event, 2-year storm event, and 10-year storm event. The calculations show an average shear stress for the 10 year
storm of 1.44 Ib/ft2 (attached as Table 3). It has been the experience of the design engineer that synthetic fiber matting is
only capable of withstanding 2.0 lb/ft2. Several sections of the channel show shear stress greater then this threshold for
the 10 year storm event and several sections are currently lined with rip rap. In order to avoid pockets of instability within
the channel in the future, a unified design theme (a combination of bio-stabilization and rip rap at toe) was selected as the
preferred alternative.
The majority of impacts associated with this project are temporary in nature and will result in the stream having better
access to its floodplain, more stable banks, and an increase in the diversity of in-stream habitat types. Computations that
support the design of the floodplain benching have been included for your review. The design used the North Carolina
Piedmont Urban Regional Curves to develop the appropriate new channel dimensions. The existing and proposed cross
sections have been attached as Figures 2 through 4 (Construction Plans - Sheet TS1).
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The grading/stabilization will be stopped at the shortest point as dictated by the channel's profile and stability. Proper
sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.. All work will be

The project area is located in an urban area with concentrated residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
N/A
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
1,791 linear feet of Perennial RPW stream channel
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Portions of Stream A within the project area are dominated by rip rap, retaining walls, and other forms of hard
stabilization; as a result, lower reaches of this channel are experiencing increased bank failures and sedimentation from
large rainfall events. The majority of the riparian zone has been degraded and is not providing adequate canopy
coverage for in-stream habitat and protection from surface water runoff. By applying enhancement techniques, the City of
High Point proposes to improve water quality within this local watershed.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Proposed restoration activities include day-lighting of currently piped reaches of Perennial RPW Stream A through
relocated natural channel. Proposed enhancement activities include; floodplain benching, live staking, and installation of
in-stream habitat features. These activities are being designed to correct neighborhood drainage problems and alleviate
flooding, erosion, and loss of property. A trackhoe and other standard construction equipment will be used for this
project.
