Thank you for the revised and additional information you submitted for the above referenced project on 2/8/2019. The
information you provided successfully addressed my concerns about items 1-3, 4a, 4c, 5, and 6 from my Request for
Additional Information dated 1/3/2019. In particular, your conceptual alternative plan of an Alton Drive extension and
associated wetland/stream crossing was very useful in documenting your avoidance and minimization efforts.
Additional information is still needed to address items 4b, 4d, 7, and 8. Specifically, the following is needed:
4b. The Corps appreciates your redesign of the proposed culvert to place the culvert at grade. Please note that NCDWR
must also concur with this re -design.
4d. Given that the proposed 54" RCP would be located in the western extent of the geomorphic floodplain, please
redesign the location of the two 18" floodplain pipes to both be located on the east side of the 54" RCP. It appears that

the relatively -level geomorphic floodplain extends approximately 45 feet perpendicular to the east of the proposed 54"
RCP. Could one of the 18" pipes be placed approximately at the eastern edge of the geomorphic floodplain (i.e.
approximately 45 feet perpendicular to the east of the 54"RCP), and the other 18" pipe split the distance between the
54" RCP and the eastern -most 18" pipe? Please update the "Thatcher Woods Drive Stream Crossing Sketch Plan",
"Overall Stream Crossing Plan", and "Thatcher Woods Drive Stream Crossing Plan View" sheets accordingly. Also, please
provide a cross-section of the proposed Thatcher Woods Drive Stream Crossing showing the 54" RCP and two 18" RCPs
position vs. existing grade; note that the 18" RCPs should not be buried, but rather placed at the existing geomorphic
floodplain elevation (per NWP 29 Regional Condition 3.6.3).
7. We acknowledge, per your response, that you have reached out to USFWS regarding effect determinations for
threatened and endangered species for this project. Per our previous email, The Corps cannot verify the use of a
Nationwide Permit until the Section 7 consultation process is complete.
8. The Corps is satisfied with your responses to items 1-3, 4a -c, 5, and 6 from my Request for Additional Information
dated 1/3/2019. As such, please provide a compensatory mitigation plan for proposed wetland impacts per NWP 29
General Condition 23(c). Unless otherwise justified based on a functional assessment (i.e. NC Wetland Assessment
Method), compensatory mitigation is typically required at a 2:1 mitigation to impact ratio. You must also submit
compensatory mitigation acceptance documents from a private mitigation bank with an appropriate service area, type
of credits, and sufficient available credits. Or, you must submit the same from the NC Division of Mitigation Services (see
33 CFR part 332).
Please note that the Corps verification of the use of NWP 29 remains on hold until the above are satisfied. Please let me
know if you have any questions.

Mr. Lyons,
Thank you for your PCN and attached information, received on 12/14/2018, for the above referenced project. I have
reviewed the information and need clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP)
29 (Blockedhttp://saw-eg.usace.army.mil/NWP2017/2017NWP29.pdf). Please submit the requested information below
(via e-mail is fine) within 30 days of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the
Nationwide Permit or consider your application withdrawn and close the file:
1. Overall development design should be revised significantly to show additional avoidance and minimization (per
NWP 29 General Condition 23). The proposed road crossing would impact 0.29 acre of riparian wetlands, which is a
considerably higher amount than most residential road crossings in this ecoregion. Note also that these wetlands appear
to have medium to high functional value due to their direct connection to a stream and proximity to Reedy Creek and its
floodplain. The crossing location should be redesigned to cross the stream and wetland complex higher in the drainage
(perhaps as a continuation of Alston Drive), thereby significantly reducing wetland impacts;
2. Additional minimization of stream and wetland impacts could occur by adding a headwall to the downstream end
of the proposed culvert (per NWP 29 General Condition 23), which is a standard practice for most residential and
commercial road crossings;

3. The overall plansheet (Sheet 1) lacks the resolution necessary to discern the wetland boundaries, boundary of 100 -
year floodplain, and lot numbers. Please update accordingly; we suggest using a solid line of a different color for wetland
(green?) and streams (blue?);
4. The following are comments on Sheets 2 and 3:
a. When roughly scaling Sheet 2, 1 calculated approximately 0.65 acre of permanent wetland impact, which is
inconsistent with your PCN and also would exceed the allowable wetland impact thresholds under NWP 29. Please
confirm your calculations and double check your pan sheet scale;
b. Given the slope of the proposed culvert (2.35%), the Corps does not suggest a V burial of the pipe due to the
risk of headcutting upstream. Please also coordinate with NCDWR on this requirement and redesign accordingly;
C. Our recent experience is that the rip rap pad should be designed such that the rip rap is keyed into the top of
the stream bed, rather than designing for an elevation for the top of the rip rap. The top of the rip rap should generally
be set at the invert of the culvert outlet and tie into the natural stream channel grade at the end of the rip rap pad.
Further, the rip rap in the channel bed should be slightly lower than rip rap on the bank. These requirements are
intended to maintain compliance with NWP 29 Regional Conditions 3.6 and 4.1.6;
d. When crossing such a wide geomorphic floodplain containing riparian wetlands, at -grade floodplain culvert
pipes would need to be added to the wetland crossing to maintain a hydrological connection throughout the wetland
crossing (per NWP 29 Regional Conditions 3.6.1 and 3.6.2);
5. The eastern terminus of Thatcher Woods Drive appears to encroach into or be pointed at a wetland complex to the
east. Clearly show this wetland boundary on the plans (perhaps a zoom -in would be helpful) as delineated in the field by
Pilot Environmental, Inc. Also clearly show the limits of disturbance around this road terminus. It is clear that extending
this road onto adjacent property would impact wetlands and streams on that property; we suggest terminating the road
further west from the property line to allow for avoidance and minimization of wetland and stream impacts when this
road is proposed for extension in the future;
6. On the PCN:
a. Section C.2: rip rap would be a permanent impact, although it would not currently count towards the
mitigation thresholds typified in NWP 29 General Condition 23(c)
b. Sections 5 and 7 are not filled out and the signature lacks a date;
7. The Corps must ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act prior to verifying the use of a
Nationwide Permit. Note that several threatened and endangered species have been added to Guilford County in the
last few months by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The specific species include: Roanoke logperch (Percina
rex), Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas), small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides), and Schweinitz's
sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). You have provided no indication that any species-specific surveys have occurred in
relation to this project, particularly related to small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) and Schweinitz's sunflower.
As such, it is possible that USFWS may require such species surveys to render concurrences on effects determinations
during Corps consultation. The Corps cannot verify the use of a Nationwide Permit until the Section 7 consultation
process is complete. Further, our USFWS contacts are currently on furlough due to the partial Federal Government
shutdown;
8. Per NWP 29 General Condition 23(c), compensatory mitigation is required for your proposed wetland impacts.
Unless otherwise justified based on a functional assessment (i.e. NC Wetland Assessment Method), compensatory
mitigation is typically required at a 2:1 mitigation to impact ratio. You must also submit compensatory mitigation
acceptance documents from a private mitigation bank with an appropriate service area, type of credits, and sufficient
available credits. Or, you must submit the same from the NC Division of Mitigation Services (see 33 CFR part 332). Note
that, per # 1 above, it is highly likely that you could redesign the crossing location to either significantly reduce your
compensatory mitigation requirement, or reduce it below the thresholds typified in NWP 29 General Condition 23(c);
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: 7776 Alcorn Road, Oak Ridge Township — Guilford County, NC
Dear Mr. Clayton:
This letter is to inform you that the Service has established an on-line project planning and
consultation process which assists developers and consultants in determining whether a
federally -listed species or designated critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For
future projects, please visit the Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at
https://www.fws.Pov/raleiglv/pp.html. If you are only searching for a list of species that may be
present in the project's Action Area, then you may use the Service's Information, Planning, and
Consultation System (IPaC) website to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species
may be present in the Action Area and generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed
at htt_ps://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/. The IPaC web site contains a complete and frequently updated list
of all endangered and threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concern' that
are known to occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
I The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above -referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down -gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
2

We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).
We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at
[phone] ext. 26.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.

of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
