Western Trail Stream Restoration
PCN Application
Dear Ms. Homewood:
On behalf of the City of Greensboro we are pleased to submit the enclosed Pre -
Construction Notification (PCN) Form for the Western Trail Stream Restoration
Project (Project). This application and supporting information is simultaneously
being provided to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The Project is located on a tributary to Brush Creek behind a residence (5934
Western Trail). Rough grading for a planned road was performed in the past
which included piping approximately 45 linear feet (LF) of the tributary, however
the road was never constructed. The tributary is currently experiencing extreme
erosion just downstream of the culvert where are large scour pool has developed
measuring approximately 6 feet deep. The scour pool is actively eroding laterally
and migrating upstream which will eventually cut through the road bed if not
addressed. This Project will remove the existing culvert and replace it with a
stable step pool channel through the road bed/embankment and reconstruc t the
stream banks in the vicinity of the scour pool. The intent is for the Project is to
restore the tributary to natural conditions and increase safety by reducing storm
flooding on the properties. In order for the City to stabilize the stream banks,
correct the scour pool and remove the culvert, there is no practical alternative , as
per regulations stated in 15A NCAC 02B .0267 regarding the Jordan watershed.
The Project Site will be planted with native vegetation to restore the riparian
buffer.

The City of Greensboro has a Right of Entry Agreement with the property owner to perform the work
indicated in the paragraph above. Since this is private property and the stream bisects the property, the
City has agreed to put a concrete toe wall, so a bridge can be built in the future by the landowner to
access that portion of their property.
An electronic letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on June 27,
