RE: Iredell Water Corporation
WKD# 30236.11.RA

Dear Mr. Chapin:

The Iredell Water Corporation is proposing to expand their water distribution system
approximately 30 miles (Figure 1). The proposed project is for utility line installation only; no
tanks or pumping stations are included in the proposed project. This letter is a courtesy pre-
construction notification for impacts associated with the proposed project. This project is
permitted by Nationwide Permit 12 (Utility Line Activities). Iredell Water Corporation will
comply with all conditions, including Wilmington District Regional Conditions, and NCDWQ
401 Certification conditions. The total linear feet of utility line in waters of the U.S. falls
below notification thresholds.

WK Dickson performed several site visits to assess impacts to waters of the U.S. All work will
be conducted within the road right-of-way; typically within five feet of the edge of pavement.
Several minor streams will be crossed on top of the existing culvert. Eight streams will be
crossed approximately 15 feet from the existing bridge (Figures 2-7). Table 1 details these
eight crossings. Crossings #4 and #5 will be directionally drilled to avoid jurisdictional
impacts and potential impacts to bridge foundations as a result of drilling and blasting in
bedrock. The six remaining stream crossings will be constructed utilizing cut and fill
methodology. A total of 323 linear feet of water line will be installed in this fashion. No
wetlands will be impacted by the proposed project. No High Quality Waters or Outstanding
Resource waters are in the project area. All proposed impacts are temporary for excavation,
utility line installation, and backfill and bedding. The stream bank and stream bed will be
returned to pre-construction contours and all appropriate BMP's and sediment and erosion
controls will be utilized.

offices listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.

The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Pennit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h20.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided
that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should
contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].

Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 ofthis application) prior to submittal of the application.

Page 1 of 12

Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's
twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will detennine whether or not the project is within a designated
Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such
cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits.

The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure
that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical
habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon
any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with
these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for
both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application.

USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this fonn, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the
USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This
PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General pennits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this fonn will result in a
complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General pennits. To review the
minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE
Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg. 12893 (March 9, 2000), available at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinaIFedReg.pdf. Processing times vary by permit and
begin once the application has been determined to be complete. Please contact the appropriate
regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.

401 \Vater Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401lWetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h20.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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 altemative, 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.
The proposed proiect is a linear utility line that by necessity must cross waters of the
U.S. The utility line will be installed entirely within existing road right-of-way and will
cross over several minor streams on top of existing culverts. Additionally, two streams will
be crossed with directional drilling, eliminating impacts. The remaining streams will be
temporarily impacted. All appropriate sediment and erosion control BMP's will be utilized
to minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. and stream bed and banks will be stabilized and
returned to pre-construction contours.
