Re: Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rule Exemption
t'7 771 7?,

Dear Ms. Chapman:
Enclosed is a permit application for a proposed overhead electric distribution line project
in Greenville, Pitt County. The proposed project begins at the intersection of NC Highways 33
and 42 (Scott's Crossroads) and travels west paralleling NC 42 to its intersection with Colonial
Road (State Route 1601) in Old Sparta (see figure in application). The project will parallel the
NC Highway 42 right-of-way, therefore reducing the need for extensive right-of-way clearing.
The new distribution line will be constructed overhead on single pole structures and the proposed
right-of-way will be 30 feet wide.
The proposed 1.3-mile distribution line will pass through several jurisdictional wetland
areas as well as cross the Tar River. In several of these areas, forested wetlands will need to be
cleared. Preconstruction contours will be maintained and stumps and root-mats will be left intact
in wetland areas. Holes will be augered for the poles and concrete footings will not be used. A
permanent access road will not be needed for the proposed project. Edgecombe- Martin County
EMC will construct a temporary road to access areas during construction. They will use mats to
get equipment into wet areas and these mats will be removed once construction is complete.
Distribution line maintenance will be accomplished using the existing DOT right-of-way. Once
construction is complete, the right-of-way will be mowed on a periodic basis to control woody
vegetation.
There will be an aerial crossing of the Tar River parallel to the NC Highway 42 bridge.
The aerial crossing will span the entire width of the Tar River (290 feet) and as required, the
Endangered Species Surveys 9 Environmental Assessments • Land Management 9 Wetlands Mapping and Permitting
lowest line (at its lowest point) will be a minimum of 20 feet above the bridge clearance (see
figure in application). No poles will be located within the Tar River.
We have determined that this project is exempt from the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules since
it is an overhead electric utility line that disturbs less than 150 linear feet of riparian buffer. All
stream/river crossings will be near-perpendicular. All BMPs for overhead electric utility lines
will be followed in all wetland areas and no poles will be installed within 10 feet of a waterbody.
Please review the attached permit application and let us know if you need additional
information to determine if this project is exempt from the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules. Thank
you for your time.
Sincerely,
Tracy sh

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 transmission line has been
routed parallel to NC Highway 42 in order to minimize right-of-way clearing.
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.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 9 of 12
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,
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
hqp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
