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. By its very nature, completion of
the proposed trail renovation proiect will prevent further erosion and sedimentation in the Eno River.
Additionally, relocation of the trail as proposed will move foot traffic farther away from the river bank than
the current trail further reducing the risk of sedimentation in the river. This solution is a compromise,
since park visitors desire a trail close to the river and will continue to hike there: it is not feasible to move
the trail out of the floodplain altogether.

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,
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://h2o.enr. state. ne.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
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.

As per our telephone conversation on September 12, this letter addresses your comment requiring a "no-rise" certificate
made on this project's construction document review.
I have had several telephone conversations with Mr. Tony Grubbs, El, Schnabel Engineering, Greensboro, NC, regarding
this project. Mr. Grubbs has experience with flood studies including a study performed for a project at Medoc Mountain
State Park. He reviewed our construction documents. He stated that due to the level of detail in the original FEMA flood
models, they are not sufficient to show the minor modifications being proposed. Also, any cross sectional area blocked by
these improvements would be insignificant in comparison to the entire cross sectional area of the floodway. The trail
improvements will decrease the debris and related blockage of flow and the work would actually be an improvement to the
hydraulic characteristics in the area.
Mr. Grubbs also had a telephone conversation with Mr. Glenn Bowles who is the Floodplain Administrator for Orange
County where the project is located. He described the project to Mr. Bowles and said that Mr. Bowles had no objections to
allowing the work without any hydraulic analysis of the Eno River for the proposed work.
It appears that the trail improvements have no impact on the floodway, and I hope that this letter addresses your concern.
Please call me at 919-833-1212 or email me at [e-mail] with any questions or comments.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
GEORGE FINCH/Boney and Associates, PA

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.

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,
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.

Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No
Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.

8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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. By its very nature, completion of
the proposed trail renovation- project will prevent further erosion and sedimentation in the Eno River.
Additionally, relocation of the trail as proposed will move foot traffic farther away from the river bank than
the current trail further reducing the risk of sedimentation in the river. This solution is a compromise,
since park visitors desire a trail close to the river and will continue to hike there: it is not feasible to move
the trail out of the floodplain altogether.

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,
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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/stnngide.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.
N/A
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.ne.us/M/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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A

As per our telephone conversation on September 12, this letter addresses your comment requiring a "no-rise" certificate
made on this project's construction document review.
I have had several telephone conversations with Mr. Tony Grubbs, El, Schnabel Engineering, Greensboro, NC, regarding
this project. Mr. Grubbs has experience with flood studies including a study performed for a project at Medoc Mountain
State Park. He reviewed our construction documents. He stated that due to the level of detail in the original FEMA flood
models, they are not sufficient to show the minor modifications being proposed. Also, any cross sectional area blocked by
these improvements would be insignificant in comparison to the entire cross sectional area of the floodway. The trail
improvements will decrease the debris and related blockage of flow and the work would actually be an improvement to the
hydraulic characteristics in the area.
Mr. Grubbs also had a telephone conversation with Mr. Glenn Bowles who is the Floodplain Administrator for Orange
County where the project is located. He described the project to Mr. Bowles and said that Mr. Bowles had no objections to
allowing the work without any hydraulic analysis of the Eno River for the proposed work.
It appears that the trail improvements have no impact on the floodway, and I hope that this letter addresses your concern.
Please call me at 919-833-1212 or email me at [e-mail] with any questions or comments.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Ms. Parisher:
On October 4, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application to impact
4,080 square feet of Zone 1 protected riparian buffers and 320 square feet (ft) of Zone 2
protected riparian buffers to renovate and relocated a greenway trail at the above referenced
property. 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 wetland, streams and/or buffers on the
subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we
will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 213
.0233(8) 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. The PCN Application failed to contain the Applicant/Agent's Signature and Date.
(Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from applicant is provided).
2. The DWQ requires seven (7) copies of the application and supporting information.
Please send in the required copies for review.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to 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. P-ne

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. By its very nature, completion of
the proposed trail renovation proiect will prevent further erosion_ and sedimentation in the Eno River.
Additionally, relocation of the trail as proposed will move foot traffic farther away from the river bank than
the current trail, further reducing the risk of sedimentation in the river. This solution is a compromise,
since park visitors desire a trail close to the river _and_will continue to hike there; it is not feasible to move
the trail out of the floodplain altogether.

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,
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://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/iicwetlands/strmgide.html.

As per our telephone conversation on September 12, this letter addresses your comment requiring a "no-rise" certificate
made on this project's construction document review.
I have had several telephone conversations with Mr. Tony Grubbs, EI, Schnabel Engineering, Greensboro, NC, regarding
this project. Mr. Grubbs has experience with flood studies including a study performed for a project at Medoc Mountain
State Park. He reviewed our construction documents. He stated that due to the level of detail in the original FEMA flood
models, they are not sufficient to show the minor modifications being proposed. Also, any cross sectional area blocked by
these improvements would be insignificant in comparison to the entire cross sectional area of the floodway. The trail
improvements will decrease the debris and related blockage of flow and the work would actually be an improvement to the
hydraulic characteristics in the area.
Mr. Grubbs also had a telephone conversation with. Mr. Glenn Bowles who is the Floodplain Administrator for Orange
County where the project is located. He described the project to Mr. Bowles and said that Mr. Bowles had no objections to
allowing the work without any hydraulic analysis of the Eno River for the proposed work.
It appears that the trail improvements have no impact on the floodway, and I hope that this letter addresses your concern
Please call me at 919-833-1212 or email me at [e-mail] with any questions or comments.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
GEORGE FINCH/Boney and Associates, PA
