Dear Mr. Woodbury:
In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested
state review agencies U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice .... 0162
dated January 8, 1987 which describes a project proposal by the City of
Raleigh. The project, involving wetland fill and stream. realignment for the
purpose of constructing a segment of the Raleigh Boulevard Extension, is
located in Raleigh along Gatlin Branch.
During the course of the review required to develop a state viewpoint,
two of the six agencies submitting substantive comments objected or expressed
- concern about .. a prgj #:_-vJ:L ment,; ;than requires relocation of -250.0 feet of
stream channel. - Howe r--4ue-•to -the particular circumstances involving this
project, an objection will not be interposed provided mitigation is included
in any permit issued. Mitigation, other requirements and information and the
agency submitting each follows: 1) The Wildlife Resources Commission
recommends: a) sinuosity and instream habitat will be maintained in the
relocated section of the stream; b) wetland loss will be mitigated on site by
creation of new wetlands on a 2 to 1 basis; 2) The Division of Water Resources
compliments the preceding comment and recommends a) The width and depth of
the new stream channel should be the same as those of the channel being
replaced. The intent here is to avoid replacing a relatively small
well-defined channel with a broad shallow ditch; 2) Planting of trees and/or
shrubs should be performed along the new channel, as necessary, in order to
produce shade cover similar to that occurring along the old channel; 3) The
= Division of Land Resources reports that a d€tailed channel sedimentation and
erosion control plan must be submitted for approval by that agency's Raleigh
Regional office if this project is allowed. - The following must be given
particular attention: a) channel change and culvert construction must be
staged to allow for maintenance of base flow in the existing channels to the
extent possible during installation of the storm drains, and stabilization of
the channel changes must be provided prior to diversion of flow; b) properly
designed energy dissipators and channel linings must be addressed for the
channel changes; c) properly designed sediment controls must be implemented to
prevent excessive soil loss to the watercourses where construction will be in

close proximity; 4) the Division of Environmental Management issued Section
401 Water Quality Certification No. 2040 for the proposed project on March 16,
1987; and 5) the Division of Health Services cautions that several water lines
are located in the path of, and adjacent to, the proposed project. Due to a
possible rupture during construction, the contractor should contact the
appropriate water system officials to specify a work schedule.
Should you require additional input from the state on this matter, do not
hesitate to contact this office or the commenting agencies.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
January 8, 1987
PUBLIC NOTICE
THE CITY OF RALEIGH, C/O DONALD GLOSSER, P.E., DSA GROUP, INC., 1033 Wade
Avenue, Raleigh, North Carolina 27605, has applied for a Department of the
Army permit TO REALIGN A PORTION OF GATLIN BRANCH AND FILL WETLANDS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF THE RALEIGH BOULEVARD EXTENSION IN RALEIGH, Wake County, North
Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show that the proposed road will extend from Rock Quarry Road
north to New Bern Avenue, following Gatlin Branch, which is a tributary of
Walnut Creek. Due to the presence of houses along either side of the proposed
roadway, the northern portion of this project will require the realignment of
approximately 2,500 feet of Gatlin Branch, and the additional placement of
about 300 cubic yards of fill material in wetlands. The southern part of the
project will be able to veer away from the Creek and all wetlands.
Gatlin Branch has fairly steep banks on both sides. Vegetation common to
the side slopes includes; box elder (Acer ne undo), sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera)., and willow (Salix sp.). Understory and herbaceous species
include young of the above as well as wild grape (Vitis sp.), honeysuckle
(Lonicera japonica), poison ivy (Rhus radicans), Boehmeria cylindrica and
various grasses.. The channel is fairly well defined with several feeder
streams entering along its length. The bottom is fine sand to alluvial. The
purpose of the work is to construct a road through the area and over Gatlin
Branch. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
r
i
-2-
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species., or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species. Act of 1973.
The.decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and.its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case:: The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.

Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
February 17, 1987.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before February 11, 1987, Attention:
Mr.William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Jeff Richter, until 4:15 p.m.,
February 9, 1987, or telephone [phone].

Dear Mr. Mills:
Enclosed is the application of the City of Raleigh,
represented by DSA Group, Incorporated, for a Department of the
Army permit and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill
material in the waters and wetlands of Gatlin Branch to extend
Raleigh Boulevard, Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. Your
receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request
for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorization of the proposed activity
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have
determined that a water quality certification may be required
under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department
of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has
been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is considered a
reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if your office has
not acted on the request by March 6, 1987, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.

January 8, 1987
THE CITY OF RALEIGH, C/O DONALD GLOSSER, P.E., DSA GROUP, INC., 1033 Wade
Avenue, Raleigh, North Carolina 27605, has applied for a Department of the
Army permit TO REALIGN A PORTION OF GATLIN BRANCH AND FILL WETLANDS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF THE RALEIGH BOULEVARD EXTENSION IN RALEIGH, Wake County, North
Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show that the proposed road will extend from Rock Quarry Road
north to New Bern Avenue, following Gatlin Branch, which is a tributary of
Walnut Creek. Due to the presence of houses along either side of the proposed
roadway, the northern portion of this project will require the realignment of
approximately 2,500 feet of Gatlin Branch, and the additional placement of
about 300 cubic yards of fill material in wetlands. The southern part of the
project. will be able to veer away from the Creek and all wetlands.
Gatlin Branch has fairly steep banks on both sides. Vegetation common to
the side slopes includes; box elder (Acer ne undo), sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), and willow (Salix sp.). Understory and herbaceous species
include young of the above as well as wild grape (Vitis sp.), honeysuckle
(Lonicera japonica), poison ivy (Rhus radicans), Boehmeria cylindrica and
various grasses. The channel is fairly well defined with several feeder
streams entering along its length. The bottom is fine sand to alluvial. The
purpose of the work is to construct a road through the area and over Gatlin
Branch. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to

-2-
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
XT-tonal Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being e13gi a or 1n3 ' LL, aLdu
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.

Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
February 17, 1987.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before February 11, 1987, Attention:
Mr.William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Jeff Richter, until 4:15 p.m.,
February 9, 1987, or telephone [phone].
