Enclosed please find three copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application Form as well as all
accompanying drawings for the above referenced project. This Application is being submitted for written
approval of exemption from the Tar Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules. This project was determined to be
Exempt from the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules under the Vegetation Management section of 15A
NCAC 02B.0259.
The Obstruction Clearing project includes the select cutting of approximately 30 trees within the buffer of
Big Branch Creek. Only these 30 trees would be cut, no additional clearing, grubbing, fill, or development
would occur in this area. The trees would be cleared using manual low impact techniques (hand cut
w/chainsaw) leaving the stumps and any other vegetation under 45 feet tall. This work is being
performed to comply with FAA safety regulations (defined in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13)
regarding the slope of the approach into the Airport. To minimize risk to life and property, the FAA
requires that the area extending beyond the end of the runway, known as the Runway Protection Zone
(RPZ) be kept clear of any manmade objects or vegetation. The RPZ extends at a 50:1 slope from the
Runway for this Airport. To minimize impacts, only select manual clearing of trees will take place in the
areas subject to the Riparian Protection Rules.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
THE LPA GROUP of North Ca olina, p.a.

Amy,
I have received the "Request for More Information" (Dated March 6, 2006) concerning the PCN submitted
to DWQ for Project #04-1577 Ver. 2 at the Franklin County Airport. The additional information requested is
to "indicate all buffer impacts on the plan". Since the project includes the clearing of approximately 30
individual trees (and not the clearing of the entire buffer), how should this impact be depicted on the plan?
Originally we showed the general project area on the plan where the clearing would take place, please
advise as to what changes would need to be made to the drawing to meet DWQ standards.
If you have any questions, or require additional information, do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks

REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Goswick: -
On February 28 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated February 23,
2006, seeking written approval of exemption from the Tar-Pamlico riparian buffer rules to perform select
cutting of vegetation within the buffer zone. The DWQ has determined that your application was
incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional
information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the
subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional information requested below,
we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will
place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the
following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Please indicate all buffer impacts on the plan, including a copy of the Franklin County Soil
Survey aerial map so we can be certain that all jurisdictional streams have been accounted for.
Please contact the DWQ within three weeks of the date of this letter to verify that you have received this
letter and that you remain interested in continuing to pursue permitting of your project and will be
providing the DWQ the requested information at a later date. Please contact me in writing and Eric Kulz
of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume
that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters
or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or Mr. Ian McMillan at 919-733-
1786 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the ,appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

Page 6 of 13
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The existing site is gently sloping with an increasing drop in
elevation towards Big Branch Creek. A large portion of the area was once farmland/grazing
land and is currently over grown with tall grass and shrubs. Areas adiacent to Big Branch
Creek are forested.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
project would consist of a select cut of approximately 30 trees (being greater than 45 feet tall)
within the riparian buffer of Big Branch Creek southwest of the runway at the Franklin
County _Airport (refer to Figure 2). Only these 30 trees would be cut, no additional clearing,
grubbing, fill, or development would occur in this area. The trees would be cleared using
manual low impact techniques hand cut w/chainsaw leaving the stumps and any other
vegetation under 45 feet tall in order to maintain vegetative root systems to preserve the
integrity of the soil The felled trees will be removed from the buffer area to promote the
growth of successional vegetation No mechanized equipment will be allowed within the
area to prevent disturbance to the surrounding soil and vegetation.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
This project would be performed under the Vegetation Management Section of 15A NCAC
02B 0259 the Tar-Pamlico River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management StratM:
Protection and Maintenance o Existing Riparian Buffers, where "Removal of individual
trees which are in danger of causing damage to dwellings, other structures or human life" is
listed as exempt from the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules.
Tree removal is required to comply with FAA safety regulations pertaining to the slope of an
gpproach into an Airport. To minimize risk to life and property the FAA requires that the
area extending beyond the end of the runway, known as the Runway Protection Zone
(RPZ be kept clear of any manmade objects or vegetation (defined in FAA Advisory
Circular 150/5300-13) The RPZ extends at a 50:1 slope from the runway for the Franklin
County Airport.
Currently, existing trees in the approach slope present a hazard to aircraft and a threat to the
lives of those onboard. Therefore in order to eliminate this safety hazard and comply with
FAA regulations, these trees must be removed.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: There will be no wetland or stream
impacts from this project All clearing will be done from the top of the stream banks away
from the stream and no mechanized equipment would be used.

stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usgs.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mMuest.com, etc.).

Expected pond surface area:
Page 9 of 13
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
In order to comply with FAA safety regulations, complete avoidance of impacts to the
riparian buffers would not be possible. However, to minimize impacts to the riparian buffers,
the project would only allow for the manual and select cutting of approximately 30 trees.
Additionally pacts to the riparian buffer would be minimized by leaving stumps and any
vegetation less than 45 feet tall. By doing so, the root mats will be left intact, which would
minimize potential impacts to the soil. Furthermore, the felled trees would be removed from
the buffer, which would facilitate growth of successional vegetation. Finally, the growth of
successional vegetation in these areas would further minimize impacts to the riparian buffer.
No additional clearing, grubbing, fill, or development would occur in the riparian buffer, and
the areas where trees were removed would be allowed to re-vegetate naturally.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
ht!p://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Page 10 of 13
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. would occur as a result of the proposed
Project, therefore, no mitigation would be required.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/yU/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
