Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:* Project area is contained within Washington Park, which consists of athletic fields, playground and exercise equipment, greenway trails, and a dog play area. The majority of the park consists of maintained lawn areas with woods surrounding the lawn areas. Salem Creek bisects the park and project area. An unnamed tributary (UT) to Salem Creek has its beginning and confluence with Salem Creek within park property. The UT to Salem Creek has degraded over time and is in need of repair. Current stormwater drainage from the dog park area flows over a gravel and riprap-lined swale and through a stormwater pipe to Salem Creek. The rock -lined drainage way will be removed and replaced by a bioretention cell. A combination of residential and commercial development surrounds the park. 4b.

List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 4e. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: (intermttent and perennial) 2400 4f. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The purpose of the project is (1) to improve water quality in Salem Creek, (2) to improve water quality and stream stability in the UT to Salem Creek, and (3) to improve stormwater conveyance via the existing onsite culverts. Runoff from dog play area discharges directly to Salem Creek untreated, negatively impacting water quality. UT to Salem Creek is incised, degraded and continues to actively erode, which negatively impacts water quality and threatens existing sanitary sewer and drinking water utilities. Existing greenway culvert along UT to Salem Creek is undersized, damaged, and partially clogged preventing it from properly conveying flows. 4g. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* This project includes two components: (1) a bioretention system in the dog park area and (2) stream restoration and culvert replacement along the UT to Salem Creek. The proposed bioretention work involves demolition of 160 feet of existing stormwater pipes, rip -rap and gravel, and a section of existing asphalt path. The path section will be replaced at the end of construction. The pipe being demolished terminates in and along the bank of Salem Creek. 410 ft of existing fence will be removed and reinstalled in place upon completion of construction activities. A new network of stormwater pipes and structures will be installed via open -cut trench within the project area. The outfall of the proposed stormwater pipe will be at the same location as the existing outfall, discharging into Salem Creek. A new reinforced concrete headwall is proposed in the same location as the existing outfall, with a final footprint of 6 feet along the bank of Salem Creek. Proposed pipes within the bioretention area include 65 feet of 6 inch PVC, 68 feet of 10 inch HDPE, and 67 feet of 18 inch RCP. One PVC surface drain inlet, and one concrete drop inlet will also be installed as part of the new bioretention stormwater network. Installation of the new pipe network as well as the grading of a swale and contours in and around the proposed bioretention cell will require equipment that will likely include, but may not be limited to, backhoes, front-end loaders, and bulldozers. Stream stabilization work involves demolition of 30 feet of existing CMP culvert and a section of asphalt path that will be replaced. Proposed project will involve grading of new channel dimension, pattern, and profile for UT to Salem Creek. Existing culvert will be replaced with triple pre cast concrete box culverts. Existing exposed waterline crossing will be protected with a poured -in-place concrete cap. Two wetland cells will be excavated above the new culverts. Equipment that is expected to be utilized includes, but may not be limited to, backhoes, front-end loaders, bulldozers, dump trucks, concrete mixer, and asphalt paving equipment. Temporary pump -around systems and temporary flow diversions will be implemented during construction. 4h.

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:* Avoidance of all impacts is possible with a no -build alternative. The no -build alternative does not meet the needs of the project and would result in continued untreated discharge of runoff from the dog play area, and continued active erosion along UT to Salem Creek that threatens water and sewer utilities. Bioretention and stream stabilization work has been limited to the extent necessary to ensure public safety, protect public park land and amenities, protect public utilities, and provide water quality improvements. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:* Replacement of stormwater network, outfall, headwall, and stream stabilization measures will be performed during dry conditions. A temporary pump -around system, including a sediment trap, dewatering basin, and/or silt bag to minimize introduction of sediment into the downstream reach of the streams, will be utilized to achieve and maintain dry stream conditions during instream work. No live concrete will have contact with surface waters. Best management practices in addition to sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented during all phases of construction. No equipment refueling or maintenance activities will occur within or adjacent to jurisdictional areas. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? C5 Yes r No 2b.

F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) — Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section .— fimbli�ar"T017 1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules? C Yes r No For a list of options to meet the diffuse flow requirements, click here. If no, explain why: The project site is not located in an area in which riparian buffers are protected by NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules. 2. Stormwater Management Plan 2a.
