WETLANDS AND STCRMV!;''ATE R PIR-N UH
Find enclosed five (5) copies of our completed PCN form the above referenced project. There are three
stream crossings, however, two of the crossings were previously submitted by Sanderson Farms. A
check in the amount of $240.00 is also enclosed along with the completed forms which include the
following attachments:
1. An 8.5 X 11 inch copy of a section of the Falling Creek Quad USGS Topo map which
shows the proposed construction.
2. Two Soils Maps one from the Lenoir County USDA Soils Report, and one from Lenoir
County GIS Map.
3. A proposed site plan for the Sanderson Farms Feed Mill.
4. An Aerial Photo from the Lenoir County GIS Map which shows the proposed
construction.
5. The construction drawings for the proposed waterline and sewer line construction.
The City of Kinston is providing water and sewer service for this project. There is a waterline which
already crosses the stream once, and the City proposes to install a water service and cross the stream a
second time to the Sanderson Farms property. This crossing was permitted by Sanderson Farms for the
feedmill.
The City also proposes to extend a sewer collection line across the stream in a road right of way. Then
the City proposes to extend an 8 inch sewer service across the stream near the waterline crossing to the
Sanderson Farms property. The second crossing was permitted by Sanderson Farms for the feedmill.

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The site is presently cleared and in use as farmland. There is a 100 foot road right-of-way, but no road has been built. A
16" waterline has already been installed in the East side of the right-of-way. The stream is East of the right-of-way.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of ail existing wetlands on the property:
Stream width X Stream Length = 0.924 acres
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
2,682 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The proposed project will provide sewer service to the feed mill site for Sanderson Farms, and adjacent property West of
the right-of-way.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project consists of installing 2,974 linear feet of 12 inch gravity sewer which will serve the area. The sewer is in the
East side of the right-of-way and will discharge into an existing manhole approximately 750 feet south of the railroad
tracks. The sewer will cross the stream in two locations. The Southern location is 336 feet North of the tracks, and the
Northern location is where the sewer line turns East to the feed mill site, Station 24+97. The crossing of the tracks will be
done by jacking and boring, and a track hoe will be used to dig and install the pipe. There is also a waterline crossing at
this location.
