4a. 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 project vicinity consists of a residential neighborhood with maintained lawn areas, landscaped areas, and
mature trees. The project site includes a stream that flows through a culvert under Juniper Street. The stream
channel downstream of Juniper Street is severely eroded with steep banks and contains miscellaneous debris that
may have been placed in an effort to stabilize the channel and protect against erosion. The existing culvert is 18
inches in diameter and discharges the stream onto miscellaneous debris, including riprap and chunks of concrete.
Curb inlets on each side of Juniper Street direct stormwater into a 12 -inch diameter storm pipe that also
discharges into the stream channel onto the debris on the downstream side of Juniper Street.

4f. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Currently, the roadway experiences flooding from a 2 -year storm event. The stream banks downstream of the
Juniper Street culvert are steep and undercut from past erosion, putting adjacent residential properties at risk of
land loss and property damage. The project's purpose is to (1) alleviate street flooding and (2) repair past erosion
and stabilize stream banks to protect against future erosion.
4g. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
The project consists of replacing the two existing curb inlets on Juniper Street and the storm drain pipe to which
they are connected, tying the newstorm drain pipe into a manhole that also receives flowfrom the culvert in the
UT to Crabtree Creek, extending the stream culvert outlet, installing an endwall and apron at the new culvert
outlet, and installing stone as bank stabilization along the banks, downstream of the culvert outlet. Six curb inlets
are proposed to be installed and connected via 83 feet of 15 -inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). The
pipe connecting the six curb inlets with the proposed manhole will consist of 22 feet of 18 -inch diameter RCP.
Modifications to the existing stream culvert include removal and replacement in-kind of the downstream most 8 feet
of 18 -inch diameter RCP, installation of a manhole, and installation of 9 feet of 30 -inch diameter RCP that will
extend from the manhole to the culvert outlet. A concrete endwall and apron will be installed at the culvert outlet,
with the apron tying into the existing top of exposed bedrock in the stream bed. The proposed bank stabilization
measures consist of NCDOT Class 2 stones stacked two high.
Existing utilities that follow Juniper Street will be relocated to accommodate the project and consist of two fiber
optic cables, a water line, and a gas line. The existing sanitary sewer line does not require relocation. The outlet
area side slopes and stream banks within the project area are steep and will be regraded around the manhole,
culvert outlet, and bank stabilization measures to the extent necessary in order to accommodate the proposed
project components. Dry work areas will be established for all in -stream activities. A pump -around system will be
implemented, using sandbag dikes, a temporary pumping system, and a filter bag to trap sediment from being
reintroduced to the stream channel downstream of the work area. Upon completion of construction, all disturbed
areas will be stabilized with native grass seed and turf reinforcement matting, as depicted on the attached plans,
and temporarily impacted areas will be restored to pre -construction conditions or better.
Equipment to be used includes, but is not limited to, an excavator, backhoe, dump truck, grader, paver, roller, and
rock hammer.

6i. Comments:
131 constitutes the grading necessary to accommodate the culvert extension, new endwall, and bank stabilization
measure. Trees to be removed from areas within easements or steep slopes will not be replaced. Within
easements, maintenance of utility easements is required, and access to infrastructure is necessary for future
maintenance efforts. On steep slopes, a planted tree that has not yet established a stable root system is likely to
be lost during a storm event. Re -grading of steep slopes is not feasible due to the proximity of adjacent
residences. B2 provides the temporary construction work area, which will be returned to existing grade and
elevation upon completion of the proposed activity.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
Impacts can only be fully avoided by selecting a no -action alternative, which fails to meet the project purpose or
address the project need. Outlet protection measures are minimal as the culvert outlet is located on bedrock that
is currently exposed in the bed of the stream. The proposed 30 -inch diameter pipe that will convey the stream flow
and stormwater from the manhole to the stream channel is designed at a slope of 0.50%, which will contribute to a
reduction in flow velocity, thereby reducing the risk of future erosive forces downstream. The temporary
construction entrance and filter bag will be situated at a location onsite that will avoid cutting or removal of trees
within the riparian buffer.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*
To the extent feasible, construction activities will be performed from the roadway or upland areas adjacent to the
stream channel. In -stream work will be performed in dry stream conditions, which will be established and
maintained via a temporary pump -around system. The work areas have been laid out to minimize tree removals to
the extent feasible.
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?
f Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Project impacts are below the threshold at which mitigation is required for streams, and impacts to riparian buffers are allowable.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
*** Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section .***
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection
Rules?
r Yes r No
1b. All buffer impacts and high ground impacts require diffuse flow or other form of stormwater treatment. If the project is subject to a
state implemented riparian buffer protection program, include a plan that fully documents how diffuse flow will be maintained.
All Stormwater Control Measures (SCM)s must be designed in accordance with the NC Stormwater Design Manual. Associated
supplement forms and other documentation shall be provided.
What type of SCM are you providing?

r- Level Spreader
r- Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r- Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
r- Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
(check all that apply)
