Dear Mr. Carmichael:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Wetlands or Waters
Sewer Line
Gaston County, DEM Project * 9.2741
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 12.5 acres of wetlands or waters in
McGill Branch for sewer line installation to serve Chapel Grove
Elementary School located at Chapel Grove School in Gaston
County, we have determined that the proposed fill can be covered
by General Water Quality Certification No. 2664 issued January
21, 1992. A copy of the General Certification is attached. This
Certification may be used.in qualifying for coverage under Corps
of Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 12. An undisturbed
vegetative buffer of at least 50 feet shall be maintained between
the sewer line and McGill Branch except at crossings. If a 50
foot buffer cannot be maintained, stringent sediment and erosion
control measures shall be taken at these locations.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at
919/733-1786.
Sincerely,
reston Howard, Jv. P.E.

FROM: Stephanie E. Goudreau, Mt. Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: January 14, 1993
SUBJECT: Application for 401 Certification by City of Gastonia
for installation-of sewer lines along McGill Branch,
Gaston County
This correspondence responds to a request by you for our
comments regarding the application for 401 Certification by the
City of Gastonia for installation of sewer interceptor along
McGill Branch to serve an existing school.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
the following recommendations:
1) Stream crossings should be minimized, located at narrow
areas, and made perpendicular to the stream where possible.
2) An undisturbed vegetated buffer zone should be preserved
between McGill Branch and construction activities, except at
crossings. Where the buffer zone is less than 50 feet wide,
erosion control measures should be especially stringent.
3) A portion of the right-of-way (ROW) (1 acre scattered)
should be planted with VA-70 lespedeza, Korean lespedeza,
and/or partridge pea to provide food and additional habitat
for wildlife.
4) The ROW should be mowed if necessary not more than once
every 2-3 years. We recommend mowing only in February and
March to protect small game nesting later in the year.
5) Temporary ground cover (e.g. hardwood mulch, straw, etc.)
must be placed on all bare soil during construction.
Permanent vegetation in these same areas must be established
r'
a(_,
within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide
long term erosion control.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If you have any questions regarding these comments,
please contact me at 704/652-4257.
