4. Project Description and History
4a. 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 an existing commuter parking lot that is built on fill over a stream. The fill was placed several years ago byt an adjoining landowner and the culvert they used under the fill.
The area is on the edge of Town of Murphy.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
C' Yes r No C' Unknown

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
215
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to replace a failing culvert under an epsting commuter parking lot. The culvert is backing up water on the south side of US 129/74 and flooding private
property.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will involve boring a new culvert adjacent to the e�tisting. This will require relocating the stream below the exsting culvert once the new culvert ties into the stream at the
culvert inlet. A boring machine will be required along �nnth other standard earth-moving materials like a track-hoe and dump truck.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

0
3i. Total permanent stream impacts: 3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
65 0
3i. Total stream and ditch impacts:
65
3j. Comments:
The relocation will not reduce the length of the e�sting stream.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation ^
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The directional bore is being done as close to possible to the ewsting pipe to reduce the length of channel to relocate. The bore will have less
disturbance than would be necessary to excavate the old pipe because the old pipe is buried by about 20 feet of fill.
1b. Specificallydescribe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The bore and newstream channel construction will be done in the dry before tie-in of the flow at the existing culvert inlet.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
C' Yes r No

2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
There is no loss of stream channel. Furthermore, the new channel will be constructed with a stable cross section and bed scour protection and planted with live stakes. This will
constitute a functional uplift (reduced erosion and improved aquatic habitat) compared to the ewsting stream reach.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
C' Yes r No
If no, explain why:
Not applicable
