Re: DWQ Project # 05-0481, Ver.3 - Request for Additional Information
Nationwide 14 Permit Application - MODIFICATION
Hammond Hills Stream Crossing, Fort Bragg
Dear Ms. Karoly and Mr. Averitte:
On behalf of our client Bragg-Picerne Partners, LLC, this letter is in response to
the NCDWQ letter dated July 26, 2006 requesting additional information for the
above referenced Nationwide 14 previously issued for the Hammond Hills
culvert crossing application.
This modification is requested because the outlet of the constructed culvert was
located approximately 16-feet off (right/south) of our permitted design. This
offset resulted in the culvert outfall flow directed towards the downstream right
stream bank. The requested permit modification consists of the re-alignment of
the culvert outflow towards the downstream centerline of the channel, relocating
the outfall flow away from the right bank as it is currently constructed. This
permit modification/re-alignment does not result in any additional stream impacts
or additional disturbances to stream buffers.
The specific responses to NCDWQ's request for additional information are as
follows:
1. Please provide cross section details showing the provisions for aquatic
life passage. Response: In order to minimize stream impacts, the road
crossing followed an existing walking/biking trail which had an existing
culverted stream crossing. The existing culvert outlet had a vertical drop
of approximately 65 feet from a concrete paved outlet section down the

and Associates, Inc,
actual stream channel, precluding any aquatic life passage. In order to
stabilize the channel, the new crossing was relocated approximately 20
feet to the north of the original culvert and the grade differential in the
culvert was removed. Following numerous discussions with Lillette
Granade and Ken Averitte, while it is customary to bury the culvert a
mininnan of .1-foot below grade, in this instance due to the vertical drop
below the existing culvert and the grade line that would be necessary to
tie the downstream: elevation back to the upstream elevation, a vertical
drop was constructed inside the culvert. To bury the culvert one foot
below the existing channel grade would have meant that a 10 plus
percent grade within the culvert would be required and would have likely
resulted in the undermining of the channel above the culvert. Therefore,
given the nature of the existing channel conditions, a wavier from the
Regional Condition was requested and granted as part of the issued
NIVP #14.
2. Please provide documentation from the NCEEP indicating their willingness
to accept your request to purchase stream mitigation credit to mitigate for
the proposed stream impacts listed in your PCN application per section VIII,
No.4 Response: See attached NCEEP letter dated June 29, 2006
The particulars of this project have been discussed with Mr. Ian McMillan and with
Mr. Ken Averitte of the Fayetteville Regional Office prior to this submission.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. If you have any additional
questions, please contact me at [phone].

Hammond Hills Stream Crossing, Fort Bragg
Dear Ms. Granade and Ms. Karoly:

On behalf of our client Bragg-Picerne Partners L.L.C, Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. is submitting this permit modification for the above referenced
Nationwide 14 previously issued for the Hammond Hills culvert crossing.
As discussed during field review of the project area with Lillette Granade on
June 9, 2006, the outlet of the constructed culvert was located approximately 16-
feet off (right/south) of our permitted design. This offset resulted in the culvert
outfall flow directed towards the downstream right stream bank. As discussed
during our field meeting, this permit modification consists of the re-alignment of
the culvert outflow towards the downstream centerline of the channel, relocating
the outfall flow away from the right bank as it is currently constructed. With the
flow directed towards the center of the channel, significant bank erosion at
the edge of impact area is not anticipated since the lower portion of the banks are
exposed weathered rock and more cohesive soils (rather than the coarse sand in
the upper portion of the soil profile). This re-alignment does not result in any
additional stream impacts or additional disturbances to stream buffers.
During our field review of the area upstream of the culvert inlet, the rock vane,
benching, and re-vegetation were determined to be functioning well. As part of
this permit modification, this upstream area has been considered self-mitigating
and not included in the total impact length for the permit. The revised total
impact (104 If) was calculated from the culvert inlet to the extent of downstream
rip rap outlet protection and excludes the length of the pre-existing culvert (40-

If). This revised 104-1f of impact is less than the original 144-If of impact
authorized as part of the original permit.
With a our better understanding of the soils and challenges of tying in an
enhancement area of bank excavation, it was determined during the field review
that Bragb Picerne Partners L.L.C will pursue alternative mitigation through an
in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
A revised permit plan is attached for your review as part of this submittal. The
particulars of this project have been discussed with Ms. Granade and with Mr.
Ken Averitte of the Fayetteville Regional Office prior to this submission.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions, please
contact me at [phone].

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.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Existing conditions are wooded with paved bike paths.
Surrounding land use is military multifamily residential housing. With this permit
modification the Hammond Hills neighborhood is under construction.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 2 of 10
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Roadway/culvert improvements for new military family housing for Fort Brae troops.
Conventional earth moving equipment and construction techniques will be used for utilities,
roadway, and structures. This modification addresses modifications of the newly constructed
culvert and road crossing
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Construct a military housing subdivision and the
associated roadway. The existing culvert crossing is experiencing severe erosion below the
existing outlet with approximately a 6.5 foot vertical drop at the outlet. New culvert will
repair outlet conditions to remove vertical grade and create a stable outlet condition with
appropriate transition to existing channel. This modification is to re-align the outlet
orientation to direct the outfall flow towards the centerline of the downstream channel.
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,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
An initial permit for this project (Action ID 2003600690) was submitted on 3/11/05 and
approved on 6/27/05. However, modifications to the permitted culvert design plan occurred
during construction in the field, requiring modification to the initial permit. In addition, due to
field conditions the proposed on-site compensatory mitigation has been modified to now provide
mitigation via an in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future permit requests are anticipated. The site contains only one jurisdictional feature that _
the road will cross.
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. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 3 of 10
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should 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: The original culvert had an
approximately 6.5 foot vertical scour hole at the downstream outlet causing an unstable channel
below the outlet due to the elevation difference. New culvert will be installed with stable
entrance and outlet beiniZ constructed.
As part of this permit modification, the culvert will be corrected to re-align the outflow towards
the downstream centerline of the channel, moving the outfall flow away from the right bank as it
is currently constructed. Total impacts are calculated to be 104 feet, extending from the culvert
inlet to the downstream extent of rip rap structure and considering the pre-existing culvert length
(40 If) (see attached permit drawing). No additional downstream impacts or additional
disturbance to the buffer areas are anticipated.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

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.
The stream flows perpendicular to the crossing and will only be crossed at one location.
Erosion and sediment will be minimized. Access to the site is from Bastogne Dr. Access has
been designed to follow an existing walking/biking trail which has an existing culverted stream
crossing. Utilizing this corridor with a perpendicular crossing has minimized the impacts as
required by the rules. The original culvert outlet had a vertical drop of approximately 6.5 feet
from a concrete paved outlet section down to the actual stream channel. The vertical drop created
a seriously unstable stream channel. In order to stabilize the channel, it was proposed to relocate
the culvert crossing approximately 20 feet to the north and remove the grade differential in the
culvert itself. The new location will provide the opportunity to have a stabilized transition to the
natural channel which will reduce the long term stability problems with the existing culvert
outlet.
Modification of the crossing design occurred during construction in the field. The culvert will be
corrected to re-align the outflow towards the downstream centerline of the channel. This will
move the outfall flow away from the right bank as it is currently constructed. With the flow
directed towards the center of the channel, significant bank erosion at the edge of the impact area
is not anticipated since the lower portion of the banks are exposed weathered rock and more
cohesive soils. The drop design of the culvert/box structure is also greatly reducing the energy of
the outfall by lowering the elevation and slope within the structure, reducing downstream near-
bank stress along those immediate banks. Additional boulders will be added to the toe of slope
(within the impact area) of the right bank downstream from the outfall. Coir fiber matting and
seeding, will be added on disturbed soils along the downstream bank.
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 January 15, 2002, 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,
Updated 11/12005
Page 6 of 10
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 NCEEP 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
http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
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.
Disturbed areas upstream of the culvert inlet have been restored by natural channel design,
rock vane, and floodplain benches at the culvert inlet. This disturbance is self-mitigating. Per
onsite discussion with Lillette Granade of USACE on 6/09/06, the remainder of impact (from
the culvert inlet to the downstream extent of outlet control rip rap) will be mitigated at a 1:1
ratio through in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program. Mitigation
request has been submitted to EEP and will be forwarded to the USACE upon approval.
Based upon phone discussions with EEP staff, mitigation approval is anticipated.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://12o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 104
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):

On behalf of our client Bragg-Picerne Partners L.L.C, Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. is submitting this permit modification for the above referenced
Nationwide 14 previously issued for the Hammond Hills culvert crossing.
As discussed during field review of the project area with Lillette Granade on
June 9, 2006, the outlet of the constructed culvert was located approximately 16-
feet off (right/south) of our permitted design. This offset resulted in the culvert
outfall flow directed towards the downstream right stream bank. As discussed
during our field meeting, this permit modification consists of the re-alignment of
the culvert outflow towards the downstream centerline of the channel, relocating
the outfall flow away from the right bank as it is currently constructed. With the
flow directed towards the center of the channel, significant bank erosion at
the edge of impact area is not anticipated since the lower portion of the banks are
exposed weathered rock and more cohesive soils (rather than the coarse sand in
the upper portion of the soil profile). This re-alignment does not result in any
additional stream impacts or additional disturbances to stream buffers.
During our field review of the area upstream of the culvert inlet, the rock vane,
benching, and re-vegetation were determined to be functioning well. As part of
this permit modification, this upstream area has been considered self-mitigating
and not included in the total impact length for the permit. The revised total
impact (104 10 was calculated from the culvert inlet to the extent of downstream
rip rap outlet protection and excludes the length of the pre-existing culvert (40-

If). This revised 104-If of impact is less. than the original 144-1f of impact
authorized as part of the original permit.
With a our better understanding of the soils and challenges of tying in an
enhancement area of bank excavation, it was determined during the field review
that Bragg-Picerne Partners L.L.C will pursue alternative mitigation through an
in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
A revised permit plan is attached for your review as part of this submittal. The
particulars of this project have been discussed with Ms. Granade and with Mr.
Ken Averitte of the Fayetteville Regional Office prior to this submission.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions, please

Page 2 of 10
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Roadway/culvert improvements for new military family housing for Fort Brae troops.
Conventional earth moving equipment and construction techniques will be used for utilities,
roadway, and structures. This modification addresses modifications of the newly constructed
culvert and road crossing;
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Construct a military housing subdivision and the
associated roadway. The existing culvert crossing is experiencing severe erosion below the
existing outlet with approximately a 6.5 foot vertical drop at the outlet. New culvert will
repair outlet conditions to remove vertical grade and create a stable outlet condition with
appropriate transition to existing channel. This modification is to re-align the outlet
orientation to direct the outfall flow towards the centerline of the downstream channel.
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,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
An initial permit for this project (Action ID 2003600690) was submitted on 3/11/05 and
approved on 6/27/05. However, modifications to the permitted culvert design plan occurred
during construction in the field, requiring modification to the initial permit. In addition, due to
field conditions the proposed on-site compensatory mitigation has been modified to now provide
mitigation via an in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future permit requests are anticipated. The site contains only one jurisdictional feature that
the road will cross.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United Statcs/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. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 3 of 10
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should 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: The original culvert had an
approximately 6.5 foot vertical scour hole at the downstream outlet causing an unstable channel
below the outlet due to the elevation difference. New culvert will be installed with stable
entrance and outlet being constructed.
As part of this permit modification, the culvert will be corrected to re-align the outflow towards
the downstream centerline of the channel, moving the outfall flow away from the right bank as it
is currently constructed. Total impacts are calculated to be 104 feet, extending from the culvert
inlet to the downstream extent of rip rap structure and considering the pre-existing culvert length
(40 If) (see attached permit drawinQ). No additional downstream impacts or additional
disturbance to the buffer areas are anticipated.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

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.
The stream flows perpendicular to the crossing and will only be crossed at one location.
Erosion and sediment will be minimized. Access to the site is from Bastogne Dr. Access has
been desiened to follow an existing walkin /bg iking trail which has an existing culverted stream
crossing. Utilizing this corridor with a perpendicular crossing has minimized the impacts as
required by the rules. The original culvert outlet had a vertical drop of approximately 6.5 feet
from a concrete paved outlet section down to the actual stream channel. The vertical drop created
a seriously unstable stream channel. In order to stabilize the channel, it was proposed to relocate
the culvert crossing approximately 20 feet to the north and remove the grade differential in the
culvert itself. The new location will provide the opportunity to have a stabilized transition to the
natural channel which will reduce the long term stability problems with the existing culvert
outlet.
Modification of the crossing design occurred during construction in the field. The culvert will be
corrected to re-align the outflow towards the downstream centerline of the channel. This will
move the outfall flow away from the right bank as it is currently constructed. With the flow
directed towards the center of the channel, significant bank erosion at the edge of the impact area
is not anticipated since the lower portion of the banks are exposed weathered rock and more
cohesive soils. The drop design of the culvert/box structure is also greatly reducing the energy of
the outfall by lowering the elevation and slope within the structure, reducing downstream near-
bank stress along those immediate banks. Additional boulders will be added to the toe of slope
(within the impact area) of the right bank downstream from the outfall. Coir fiber matting and
seeding will be added on disturbed soils along the downstream bank.
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 January 15, 2002, 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,
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 6 of 10
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 NCEEP 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
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetiands/strmi,ide.htm1.
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.
Disturbed areas upstream of the culvert inlet have been restored by natural channel design,
rock vane and floodplain benches at the culvert inlet. This disturbance is self-mitigating. Per
onsite discussion with Lillette Granade of USACE on 6/09/06, the remainder of impact (from
the culvert inlet to the downstream extent of outlet control rip rap) will be mitigated at a 1:1
ratio throu.h in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program. Mitigation
request has been submitted to EEP and will be forwarded to the USACE upon approval.
Based upon phone discussions with EEP staff, mitigation approval is anticipated.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wM/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:

Dear Ms. Granade and Ms. Karoly:

P.O. Box 33068
Raleigh, North Carolina
27636.3068
JUN 2 r 2006

On behalf of our client Bragg-Picerne Partners L.L.C, Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. is submitting this permit modification for the above referenced
Nationwide 14 previously issued for the Hammond Hills culvert crossing.
As discussed during field review of the project area with Lillette Granade on
June 9, 2006, the outlet of the constructed culvert was located approximately 16-
feet off (right/south) of our permitted design. This offset resulted in the culvert
outfall flow directed towards the downstream right stream bank. As discussed
during our field meeting, this permit modification consists of the re-alignment of
the culvert outflow towards the downstream centerline of the channel, relocating
the outfall flow away from the right bank as it is currently constructed. With the
flow directed towards the center of the channel, significant bank erosion at
the edge of impact area is not anticipated since the lower portion of the banks are
exposed weathered rock and more cohesive soils (rather than the coarse sand in
the upper portion of the soil profile). This re-alignment does not result in any
additional stream impacts or additional disturbances to stream buffers.
During our field review of the area upstream of the culvert inlet, the rock vane,
benching, and re-vegetation were determined to be functioning well. As part of
this permit modification, this upstream area has been considered self-mitigating
and not included in the total impact length for the permit. The revised total
impact (104 If) was calculated from the culvert inlet to the extent of downstream
rip rap outlet protection and excludes the length of the pre-existing culvert (40-

. Kimley-Horn

10. This revised 104-If of impact is less than the original 144-1f of impact
authorized as part of the original permit.
With a our better understanding of the soils and challenges of tying in an
enhancement area of bank excavation, it was determined during the field review
that Bragg-Picerne Partners L.L.C will pursue alternative mitigation through an
in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
A revised permit plan is attached for your review as part of this submittal. The
particulars of this project have been discussed with Ms. Granade and with Mr.
Ken Averitte of the Fayetteville Regional Office prior to this submission.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions, please

Page 2 of 10
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Roadway/culvert improvements for new military family housing for Fort Braggy troops.
Conventional earth moving equipment and construction techniques will be used for utilities,
roadway, and structures. This modification addresses modifications of the newly constructed
culvert and road crossing
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Construct a military housing subdivision and the
associated roadway. The existing culvert crossing is experiencing severe erosion below the
existing outlet with approximately a 6.5 foot vertical drop at the outlet. New culvert will
repair outlet conditions to remove vertical grade and create a stable outlet condition with
appropriate transition to existing channel. This modification is to re-align the outlet
orientation to direct the outfall flow towards the centerline of the downstream channel.
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,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
An initial permit for this project (Action ID 2003600690) was submitted on 3/11/05 and
approved on 6/27/05. However, modifications to the permitted culvert design plan occurred
during construction in the field, requiring modification to the initial permit. In addition, due to
field conditions the proposed on-site compensatory mitigation has been modified to now provide
miti,gation via an in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future permit requests are anticipated. The site contains only one jurisdictional feature that
the road will cross.
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. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 3 of 10
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should 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: The original culvert had an
approximately 6.5 foot vertical scour hole at the downstream outlet causing an unstable channel
below the outlet due to the elevation difference. New culvert will be installed with stable
entrance and outlet being constructed.
As part of this permit modification, the culvert will be corrected to re-align the outflow towards
the downstream centerline of the channel, moving the outfall flow away from the right bank as it
is currently constructed. Total impacts are calculated to be 104 feet, extendine from the culvert
inlet to the downstream extent of rip rap structure and considerinc the pre-existing culvert lent;th
(40 If) (see attached permit drawing). No additional downstream impacts or additional
disturbance to the buffer areas are anticipated.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

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.
The stream flows perpendicular to the crossing and will only be crossed at one location.
Erosion and sediment will be minimized. Access to the site is from Bastogne Dr. Access has
been designed to follow an existing walking/biking trail which has an existing culverted stream
crossing. Utilizing this corridor with a perpendicular crossing has minimized the impacts as
required by the rules. The original culvert outlet had a vertical drop of approximately 6.5 feet
from a concrete paved outlet section down to the actual stream channel. The vertical drop created
a seriously unstable stream channel. In order to stabilize the channel, it was proposed to relocate
the culvert crossing approximately 20 feet to the north and remove the grade differential in the
culvert itself. The new location will provide the opportunity to have a stabilized transition to the
natural channel which will reduce the long term stability problems with the existing culvert
outlet.
Modification of the crossing design occurred during construction in the field. The culvert will be
corrected to re-alien the outflow towards the downstream centerline of the channel. This will
move the outfall flow away from the right bank as it is currently constructed. With the flow
directed towards the center of the channel, significant bank erosion at the edge of the impact area
is not anticipated since the lower portion of the banks are exposed weathered rock and more
cohesive soils. The drop design of the culvert/box structure is also greatly reducing the energy of
the outfall by lowering the elevation and slope within the structure, reducing downstream near-
bank stress along those immediate banks. Additional boulders will be added to the toe of slope
(within the impact area) of the right bank downstream from the outfall. Coir fiber matting and
seeding will be added on disturbed soils along the downstream bank.
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 January 15, 2002, 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,
Updated 11/12005
Page 6 of 10
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 NCEEP 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
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwet]ands/strmgide.htm1.
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.
Disturbed areas upstream of the culvert inlet have been restored by natural channel design,
rock vane and floodplain benches at the culvert inlet. This disturbance is self-mitigating. Per
onsite discussion with Lillette Granade of USACE on 6/09/06, the remainder of impact (from
the culvert inlet to the downstream extent of outlet control rip rap) will be mitigated at a 1:1
ratio through in-lieu fee payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program. Mitigation
request has been submitted to EEP and will be forwarded to the USACE upon approval.
Based upon phone discussions with EEP staff, mitigation approval is anticipated.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.litni. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
