APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Dr. Martin:
June 21, 2005
DWQ# 04-0297
Forsyth County
The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to
place permanent fill in 256 linear feet of intermittent stream, 217 linear feet of perennial stream, and 0.09 acre
of forested wetlands in order to construct the Simon G. Atkins Academic and Technology High School located
on Old Greensboro Road in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on June 14, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web
site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39
when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable
federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required
by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this
approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this project (now or
in the future) exceeds one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification, as
well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NC EEP) in order to compensate for the impacts to streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC
2R .0402 and 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation
requirements under 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the NC EEP receives
and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program),
additional stream and wetland impacts (including fill) shall not occur at this site. Ms. Carol Shaw
should be contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning the Ecosystem
Enhancement Program. You have sixty (60) days from the date of this Certification to make this
payment. For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the fill of 217 linear feet of perennial
stream in the Yadkin River Basin, Cataloging Unit 03040101, and 217 linear feet of stream mitigation
are required.
3. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B .0211 Fresh Surface Water Quality
Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control measures in wetlands or waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the project is
completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the North
Carolina Division of Land Resources.
5. No waste, spoil, solids,. or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
6. The piping of the perennial stream required for this project shall be conducted in such a manner that the
original stream profile is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of
the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained
above and below the location of the piping. The piping shall be designed and installed to prevent head
cutting of the stream. If the pipe becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established
Dr. Donald L. Martin, Jr.
Page 3,
June 21, 2005
or, if the pipe is installed in a perched manner, the pipe shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The
Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting
that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
'7. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. R.iprap may only be used below the
normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth
sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream
bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in
destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream.
8. Energy dissipation and sheet flow must be provided for all discharges of stormwater before such
discharges reach stream channels or wetlands.
9. The proposed project must comply with the local water supply and stormwater management ordinances
of Forsyth County approved by the N. C. Environmental Management Commission.
10. All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct
stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize
water quality impacts. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in
contact with surface waters until it has cured. If any stormwater must be collected for discharge into a
stream channel, it shall not enter the stream as a point source, but shall be slowed and discharged as
sheet flow prior to entering the riparian buffer on either side of the stream.
11. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
finished. This certificate should be sent to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality
at the address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion form, please send
photographs of all impact sites to document correct construction and stabilization.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-
4600, extension 293.

Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina
ECS Project G-6932C
DWQ # 04-0297
Dear Ms. Karoly:
June 10, 2005
Please fmd five copies of the revised Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application for the above
referenced site. The site is the Simon G. Atkins High School located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
(Figure 1). The revised PCN application requests that a Water Quality Certification be issued to
authorize impacts to 0.09 acres of wetlands; 256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel; and 217 linear,
feet of perennial stream channel. These impacts are associated with the construction of a ball field on the
northern portion of the site.
A restoration plan was prepared for the 217 linear feet of perennial stream channel by HARP. However,
due to the adjacent slope, it appears unlikely that the restoration plan can be successfully implemented.
In order to protect adjacent wetlands and Frazier Creek, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools
proposes to permanently pipe the stream. This will allow the slope to be filled out and stabilized. NC
EEP has agreed to provide stream restoration for impact to 217 linear feet of stream channel. Winston-
Salem Forsyth County Schools proposes mitigation on a 1:1 basis for this impact. The impact to
wetlands associated with the sediment basin will be reduced to 0.09 acres. A drawing and a narrative
describing this activity are included. Neither the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nor the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality are requiring mitigation for the impacts to 0.09 acres of wetlands associated
with the construction of a sediment basin and berm or for the impact to approximately 256 linear feet of
intermittent stream channel that have been piped beneath the ball field.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this request or if
additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely consideration of this matter.

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.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlaiids/stnngide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The following mitigation is proposed: Site #1 (Wetland Area) - In order to protect the
adiacent wetlands, the sediment basin will be retained. Mitigation for the wetland
impact is not required by either the USACE or the NCDWO.
Site #2 - (217 linear feet of perennial stream channel) - A restoration plan was prepared
for this stream by HARP. However, the long term success is questionable due to the
instability of the adiacent slope. In order to protect wetlands and Frazier Creek, it has
been determined that the most viable solution is to permanently pipe this length of
stream. This will allow the adiacent slope to be filled out and stabilized, thus,
preventing additional erosion and sedimentation of the wetlands located in the
floodplain of Frazier Creek. An exhibit prepared by Davis Martin Powell illustrates the
construction of the pipe and includes specifications for seeding/stabilizing the slope and
maintaining the stormwater pond. EEP has agreed to accept payment to mitigate for
the impact to 217 linear feet of stream channel. We propose mitigation on a 1:1 basis.
Site #3 (256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel) - mitigation for this impact is not
required by either the USACE or the NCDWO.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
Page 6 of 9
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 217 linear feet at 1:1 ratio
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes X No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No X
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to

Here is a narritive for the sediment basin removal. We should be emailing a more refined sketch to you
also before the end of the day.
Thanks
Atkins High School
Sediment Basin Removal
To reduce impacts to jurisdictional wetland areas, portions of an existing sediment basin will be
removed. The sediment basin will be removed in two areas per the attached sketch. The first area
Identified as Area 1 is approximately 641.24 square feet and will be graded to approximate elevation
811. The second area is approximately 2166 square feet and will be graded to approximate elevation
810.5.
Construction Procedure for Area 1:
Silt fence will be placed around the construction area and the construction area will be dewatered with
pumps. The pumps must discharge into the portion of the sediment basin that remains. The dam
embankment will be removed and a diversion channel will be installed to direct runoff into the
remaining portion of the sediment basin. All disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched.
Construction Procedure for Area 2:
Silt fence will be installed on each side of the sediment basin. The area between the silt fences will be
dewatered and pumped into the remaining portion of the sediment basin. After the construction area is
dewatered the sediment basin berm will be removed and new berms will be constructed across the
sediment basin or each side of the silt fence. A rock check dam spillway will be constructed on the west
side berm. All disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched.

Subject: Revised Pre-Construction Notification Application
Request for 401 Water Quality Certification
Simon G. Atkins High School
Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina
ECS Project G-6932C
DWQ # 04-0297
Dear Ms. Karoly:
June 10, 2005
Please find five copies of the revised Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application for the above
referenced site. The site is the Simon G. Atkins High School located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
(Figure 1). The revised PCN application requests that a Water Quality Certification be issued to
authorize impacts to 0.09 acres of wetlands; 256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel; and 217 linear
feet of perennial stream channel. These impacts are associated with the construction of a ball field on the
northern portion of the site.
A restoration plan was prepared for the 217 linear feet of perennial stream channel by HARP. However,
due to the adjacent slope, it appears unlikely that the restoration plan can be successfully implemented.
In order to protect adjacent wetlands and Frazier Creek, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools
proposes to permanently pipe the stream. This will allow the slope to be filled out and stabilized. NC
EEP has agreed to provide stream restoration for impact fo 217 linear feet of stream channel. Winston-
Salem Forsyth County Schools proposes mitigation on a 1:1 basis for this impact. The impact to
wetlands associated with the sediment basin will be reduced to 0.09 acres. A drawing and a narrative
describing this activity are included. Neither the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nor the North Carolina .
Division of Water Quality are requiring mitigation for the impacts to 0.09 acres of wetlands associated
with the construction of a sediment basin and berm or for the impact to approximately 256 linear feet of
intermittent stream channel that have been piped beneath the ball field.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this request or if
additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely consideration of this matter.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlaiids/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The following mitigation is proposed: Site #1 (Wetland Area) - In order to protect the
adiacent wetlands, the sediment basin will be retained. Mitigation for the wetland
impact is not required by either the USACE or the NCDWO•
Site #2 - (217 linear feet of perennial stream channel) - A restoration plan was prepared
for this stream by HARP. However, the long term success is questionable due to the
instability of the adiacent slope. In order to protect wetlands and Frazier Creek, it has
been determined that the most viable solution is to permanently pipe this length of
stream. This will allow the adiacent slope to be filled out and stabilized, thus,
preventing additional erosion and sedimentation of the wetlands located in the
floodplain of Frazier Creek. An exhibit prepared by Davis Martin Powell illustrates the
construction of the pipe and includes specifications for seeding/stabilizing the slope and
maintaining the stormwater pond. EEP has agreed to accept payment to mitigate for
the impact to 217 linear feet of stream channel. We propose mitigation on a 1:1 basis.
Site #3 (256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel) - mitigation for this impact is not
required by either the USACE or the NCDWO.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
Page 6 of 9
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 217 linear feet at 1:1 ratio
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes X No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No X

On January 18, 2005, the Wetlands/401 Unit of the Division of Water Quality received your revised Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) application for a 401 General Water Quality Certification for the above
referenced site. The Winston-Salem Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, has reviewed this
application and has determined that the proposed impacts are eligible for authorization under General Water
Quality Certification #3402. However, information provided to this office by the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers on March 9, 2005, indicates that the Corps of Engineers cannot authorize the proposed impacts
under a Nationwide Permit #39. Therefore, DWQ cannot issue authorization to use General Water Quality
Certification #3402. It is our understanding that the Corps of Engineers will require the Winston-
Salem/Forsyth County Schools to apply for an Individual Permit for authorization to proceed with the impacts
as currently proposed. Consequently the Division of Water Quality must place your application on hold until
the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has made a final determination as to how application for authorization of
these impacts must proceed. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact

Update (03/114//2005): In a phone conversation with the USACE on 03/09/2005, it was
learned that the Corps cannot authorize these impacts under a Nationwide Permit because
wetland impacts exceed 0.1 acre. The USACE will likely require the school system to
apply for an Individual Permit. Consequently, WSRO will place this application on hold
and issue the appropriate hold letter.

DATE: February 4, 2005
SUBJECT: Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System, DWQ No. 04-0297, Simon G.
Atkins High School, Unnamed Tributary Frazier Creek, Forsyth County
The school system is requesting a letter of concurrence through the regulatory permitting process
from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a 401 Certification from the NC Division of Water
Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field biologists
on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
It is our understanding that this site has been under enforcement by the NC Division of Land
Resources and the NC Division of Water Quality as well as the US Army corps of Engineers for
deviations from approved sediment and erosion control plans plus violations of the Clean Water
Act. The after-the-fact application proposes to impact additional waters that are tributary to
Frazier Creek primarily due to site instability associated with previous land disturbing activities
and unstable site conditions. Impacts are indicated to be 0.16 acres of wetlands and 473 linear
feet of unnamed tributaries of Frazier Creek (associated with bottomland wetlands).
It appears that site restrictions were exacerbated by poor site selection, design modifications and
construction practices that occurred previously. Existing wetlands were filled to provide
sediment and erosion control measures without permitting agency approvals or authorizations. It

now appears that these measures are proposed to become permanent stormwater facilities. The
wetlands impacted appeared capable of supporting aquatic life (including fish) as well as
providing resting areas and foraging habitats for waterfowl.
It is doubtful that this agency would have concurred with proposed permanent impacts to waters
and wetlands if appropriate applications and reviews had been forthcoming. Proper site
selection, planning and oversight should have prevented most, if not all, of these impacts. We
are concerned that unauthorized activities continue to occur in Forsyth County as LEGACY, the
long range plan for the county calls for better environmental stewardship. Impacts at this
publicly funded development site occurred even though there is an environmental review check
off process to ensure the acquisition of needed environmental permits.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the site, we do not
believe that avoidance and minimization can be accomplished at this late stage of development.
Had we the opportunity earlier, we would have recommended the use of Low Impact
Development (LID) methodologies for stormwater management as these techniques are more
land efficient, less costly, and less environmentally destructive. Information on LID practices
and measures can be found at w,,vw.lowimpactdevelopment.org. For the record, we do not agree
with using existing waters of the United States for treatment basins; however, the plans for the
site and current development has preempted consideration of better options.
In closing, future public projects in the county should evaluate Cumulative and Secondary
Impacts (CSI). Our website, h1tp://www.ncwi1d1ife.org/pg07 WildlifeSpeciesCon/pg76 impacts.pdf
focuses on CSI concerns and issues. We will not object to the proposed impacts providing
compensatory mitigation and stormwater management requirements are forthcoming. To restore
lost habitat values in the area, we recommend that stormwater facilities and buffer zones be
planted with native herbs and trees to the extent practicable. Such areas should be beneficial for
water quality and wildlife while benefiting community aesthetics, environmental education and
outdoor recreation. The attached plant document for piedmont facilities is provided for your
consideration.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Piedmont Stormwater Pond and Mine Planting Recommendations
Instead of using the typical fescue grasses or exotic plant species, the following mixtures should be
considered for lower elevation stormwater ponds and mine sites:
Spring/Summer Mixture, May 1 - Sept. 15 Fall/Winter Mixture, Sept. 15 - April 30
Browntop millet 201bs/a
Kobe lespedeza 20 lbs/a
Shrub lespedeza 1 lb/a
Switchgrass* 5lb/a
Winter Wheat 1201bs/a
Kobe lespedeza 201bs/a
Shrub lespedeza 1 lb/a
Switchgrass* 51b/ac
Add to fall or spring plantings: `Tioga' Deertongue (Panicum clandestinum) at a rate of 7 lbs. Pure Live
Seeds (PLS) per acre.
* When possible on slopes less than 3:1 use Switchgrass instead of lespedezas and on slopes greater than 3:1 use
Orchard Grass or Creeping Red Fescue. Other native species may be appropriate depending on soil, slope, and
region. Korean lespedeza may be appropriate in colder geophysical areas. We do not recommend Sericea
lespedeza. Native plants and warm season grasses are preferred over exotic plants.
Add one of the following to the above mixture:
Creeping Red Fescue 5 lbs/acre
Ladino Clover** 5 lbs/acre
Atlantic Coastal Panic Grass 51bs/acre (PLS)
Alfalfa** 5 lbs/acre (requires fertilizer containing Boron)
** Lime & fertilize disturbed areas according to NRCS soil test results and follow planting guidelines as appropriate
and necessary. Depending on elevation and region, other native species may be appropriate. Note that mowing
should be limited to late winter or early spring. Mowing should only occur as needed to prevent unwanted tree
growth on a 2-3 year schedule.
The provision of shade around impounded waters can significantly reduce thermal impacts. Trees and
shrubs (1 year bare root seedlings) should be planted randomly at a minimal rate of 100 trees per acre on
the top and upper portions of the structure and at a minimal rate of 150 per acre around the normal water
elevation and littoral shelf area. The following list of tree species may assist in providing habitat benefits:
Loblolly Pine* Red Cedar Black Gum American Holly Dogwood
Hickory Sumac White Oak Willow Oak Red Maple**
Viburnum Green Ash Ironwood Black Cherry Persimmon
Water Oak Spice Bush Willow (sp) Serviceberry Red Oak
Swamp Chestnut Silky Dogwood
Other species may be utilized depending on site requirements and native plant availability. Pines* should not
exceed 15% of the reforestation. No more than 20% of the tree species will be of a single species. An 80% success
rate is acceptable over five years. Large or fast growing trees like Sycamore and Maple** may not be appropriate
near detention facility dams. Note: Non-native plants included in this list are routinely considered beneficial and/or
agriculturally established non-natives. They have been included as they are readily available commercially and they
do not exhibit many of the negative attributes of other non-natives that tend to spread or inhibit native plant
propagation and survival.

DWQ # 04-0297
Dear Ms. Karoly:
JaAo 14, 2005
4 :
Please find five copies of the revised Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application for the above
referenced site. The site is the Simon G. Atkins High School located in. Winston-Salem, North Carolina
(Figure 1). The revised PCN application requests that a Water Quality Certification be issued to
authorize impacts to 0.16 acres of wetlands; 256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel; and 217 linear
feet of perennial stream channel. These impacts are associated with the construction of a ball field on the
northern portion of the site.
A restoration plan was prepared for the 217 linear feet of perennial stream channel by HARP. However,
due to the adjacent slope, it appears unlikely that the restoration plan can be successfully implemented.
In order to protect adjacent wetlands and Frazier Creek, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools
proposes to permanently pipe the stream. This will allow the slope to be filled out and stabilized. NC
EEP has agreed to provide stream restoration for impact to 217 linear feet of stream channel. Winston-
Salem Forstyh County Schools proposes mitigation on a 1:1 basis for this impact. Neither the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers nor the North Carolina Division of Water Quality are requiring mitigation for the
impacts to 0.16 acres of wetlands associated with the construction of a sediment basin and berm or for
the impact to approximately 256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel that have been piped beneath
the ball field.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this request or if
additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely consideration of this matter.

provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The following impacts have
occurred at the site: #1 - the impact to A.16 acres of forested wetland associated with the
construction of a sediment basin and berm; #2 - the relocation of approximately 217 linear
feet of a perennial tributary to Frazier Creek ; and, #3 - the permanent impact to
approximately 256 linear feet of an intermittent/unimportant tributary to Frazier Creek.
The intermittent/unimportant tributary has been piped and covered with approximately

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.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The following mitigation is proposed: Site #1 (Wetland Area) - In order to protect the
adiacent wetlands, the sediment basin will be retained. Mitigation for the wetland
impact is not required by either the USACE or the NCDWO.
Site #2 - (217 linear feet of perennial stream channel) - A restoration plan was prepared
for this stream by HARP. However, the long term success is questionable due to the
instability of the adiacent slope. In order to protect wetlands and Frazier Creek, it has
been determined that the most viable solution is to permanently pipe this length of
stream. This will allow the adiacent slope to be filled out and stabilized, thus,
preventing additional erosion and sedimentation of the wetlands located in the
floodplain of Frazier Creek. An exhibit prepared by Davis Martin Powell illustrates the
construction of the pipe and includes specifications for seeding/stabilizing the slope and
maintaining the stormwater pond. EEP has agreed to accept payment to mitigate for
the impact to 217 linear feet of stream channel. We propose mitigation on a 1:1 basis.
Site #3 (256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel) - mitigation for this impact is not
required by either the USACE or the NCDWO.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/index.htm. If use of
Page 6 of 9
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 217 linear feet at 1:1 ratio
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes X No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No X
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

RE: Atkins H. S. Stream Mitigation
Dear Denise:
The plan that HARP submitted for the restoration of the steam, following the guidelines
of the NOV, included a discussion of our concerns for the long term success due to the
instability of the adjacent hill slope of fill dirt. Continued erosion of this steep
embankment will negatively impact any restoration work performed along this reach.
This conclusion remains valid even for a modified restoration plan following along the
lines that were developed in the field meeting with NCDWQ representative, Daryl Lamb,
that avoids much of the floodplain bench cuts that were included in the initial plan (to fit
with the reference reach observations).
Although there are discussions of how to modify the site to help assure a successful
restoration, in our opinion the long term viability of the restoration is questionable due
our lack of confidence in the ability to stabilize the slope with native vegetation.
If other options for the site are available, we will support their consideration.
Sincerely,
Zm?es F. Matthews

Please find seven copies of the revised Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application for the above
referenced site. The site is the Simon G. Atkins High School located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
(Figure 1). The revised PCN application requests that NWP 39 be issued to authorize impacts to 0.16
acres of wetlands; 256 linear feet of intermittent stream channel; and, 217 linear feet of perennial stream
channel. These impacts are associated with the construction of a ball field on the northern portion of the
site.
We have requested that EEP accept payment for mitigation to 0.16 acres of wetlands. They have agreed
to provide mitigation for 0.34 acres of wetlands. Mitigation for the impact to 217 linear feet of stream
channel will be accomplished by hand clearing brush and sediment from the channel and allowing the
channel to reform. A flood plain bench will be created and the stream banks and buffer will be planted

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 alternative, 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.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
.
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The following mitigation is proposed: Site #1 (Wetland Area) - In order to protect the
adiacent wetland, the sediment basin and berm will be retained. We propose mitigating
for the impact to 0.16 acres of wetlands with payment to the EEP. EEP has agreed to
accept payment for up to 0.34 acres of wetlands. 3
Site #2 - (217 linear feet of perennial stream channel) - The pre-construction channel
(top of bank) will be staked in the field. As of April 6, 2004, a channel was beginning to
form; however, some areas were blocked by brush and sediment. The brush and
sediment will be removed from these areas by hand. A silt fence will be installed
between the channel and the slope of the baseball field. The area between the channel
and the woods will be leveled as flood plain bench. All exposed soil will be planted with
a temporary herbaceous cover crop. In the fall, riparian hardwoods will be planted on
both sides of the channel. The width of the buffer will be limited by the baseball field
on the south side of the channel. An approximate 30 foot wide vegetated buffer will be
installed on the north side of the stream channel. The steeper slope below the edge of
the woods will be live staked to stabilize the slope. Species such as alder, river birch,
sycamore, red maple, and willow oak will be planted along the stream banks and in the
buffer at a rate of 400 per acre on approximate 10 feet centers.
Site #3 - (256 linear feet of unimportant stream channel) Mitigation is not required for
the impact to this feature.
Page 6 of 9
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at httn://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

DMP Response to DWQ Letter Dated 4/8/04
Atkins High School Job No. E-3237
Comment:
1. It is unclear whether the stream depicted in Exhibit No. 2B (Stream labeled SI-2) originally
flowed as depicted in the plans. That is, the plans show the stream feature flowing through
the rock check dam and continuing through a feature labeled "ditch" (located down slope).
Clearly explain if the original stream pathway continued through what is now a sediment pond
located at the toe of the baseball field and then into the wetland or if the stream pathway
originally flowed into Frazier Creek through the feature labeled "ditch".
Response:
1. The original topographic survey indicated that the stream labeled S1-2 flowed through the
feature labeled "ditch".
Comment:
2. Please provide an appropriately scaled (i.e. V=50') plan which shows the location and extent
of stream and wetland impacts. This plan should clearly depict the following: 1) the location
and total length of streams that were impacted, 2) the location and total length of the stream
impacts that have occurred to date, and 3) the location and total length of any additional
impacts that are presently proposed. Please explain how these amounts and locations were
determined. Also, please clearly depict the stream locations (including linear footage) on a
map and clearly indicate how these impacts correspond to the linear footage of stream and
wetland impacts depicted in Section VI, No. 2 and 3 of the Pre-construction Notification
Application.
Response:
2. We have enclosed 1"=50' scaled maps showing the information requested. The location of
these streams were determined as follows:
Stream S1-1, S1-2 and S1-3 - The location and length of impacts of those stream were
determined from the original topographic survey.
Stream S1-4 and S1-5 - This stream was identified by a field inspection by Engineering
Consulting Services and follow up field inspection by Jennifer Frye.

WATER QUALITY SECM;N'
Dear Andrea:
We have enclosed a completed Pre-Construction Notification Form (PDN) and supporting information for
the Atkins High School Site. A check in the amount of $ 475 will accompany the copies provided to the
Division of Water Quality. This application covers the impacts to jurisdictional streams and wetland areas
following our meetings and discussions on site. The data also explains the proposed restoration efforts for
the stream (SI-2 and SI-3) located at the Northeast end of the baseball field. The outline of this work is
explained on exhibit 3A and reflects our discussions during our field meeting on February 4, 2004. To
avoid impacts to this stream and allow the restoration efforts to proceed we have redesigned the baseball
field. The location of home plate was shifted closer to the stadium area and the outfield distance was
reduced.
On Friday February 20, 2004 this site was inspected by the Division of Land Quality and was deemed to
be in compliance with all site erosion control issues. Upon approval of the work outlined in this PDN we
intend to direct the contractor to begin work immediately to remove the State Water Quality notice of
violation.
If any additional information is desired, please do not hesitate to give me a call. We are most appreciative
of the assistance your office and the Division of Water Quality staff have provided. We feel that this
assistance has been critical to the recent positive developments on this site.
Sincerely,
Cc: Daryl Lamb (DWQ, WSRO)

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 alternative, 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.
Site designs were selected to avoid impacts to stream SI-4 and SI-5. Upon consultation with
the US Army Corps of Engineers and The North Carolina Division of Water Quality the
proposed baseball stadium design was modified to allow restoration of stream SI-2 and SI-3
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts
to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable
include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining
wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing
losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving
similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream
restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetiands/Strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as
much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or
map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation
proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation
mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current
site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space
is needed.
Stream SI-2 and SI-3 will be mitigated A check dam will be installed in the original location of
Stream SI-2 and base stream flow that presently drains to the sediment basin will be redirected
back to its original location The stream channel will be allowed to re-establish itself and will be
reviewed to determine if additional restoration procedures will be required.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program
(NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-
5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of
a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the
NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed,
please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):

Subject: Additional Information Request and Hold Notification

Dear Dr. Martin:
On February 27, 2004, the Wetlands/401 Unit of the Division of Water Quality received your Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) application for a 401 General Water Quality Certification for the
above referenced site. In addition, a file copy of the January 29, 2004, Notice of Violation issued to
you by the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality was also reviewed. After
review of these documents, we believe that your application should be placed on hold. We will
require you to address the following items in order for processing of your 401 application to proceed,
pursuant to 15A NCAC 2B .0500.
1. It is unclear whether the stream depicted in Exhibit No. 2B (Stream labeled SI-2) originally
flowed as depicted in the plans. That is, the plans show the stream feature flowing through the
rock check dam and continuing through a feature labeled "ditch" (located down slope). Clearly
explain if the original stream pathway continued through what is now a sediment pond located
at the toe of the baseball field and then into the wetland or if the stream pathway originally
flowed into Frazier Creek through the feature labeled "ditch".
2. Please provide an appropriately scaled (i.e. 1"= 50') plan which shows the location and extent
of stream and wetland impacts. This plan should clearly depict the following: 1) the location
and total length of streams that were impacted, 2) the location and total length of the stream
impacts that have occurred to date, and 3) the location and total length of any additional
impacts that are presently proposed. Please explain how these amounts and locations were
determined. Also, please clearly depict the stream locations (including linear footage) on a
map and clearly indicate how these impacts correspond to the linear footage of stream and
wetland impacts depicted in Section VI, No. 2 and 3 of the Pre-construction Notification
Application.

3. Exhibit No. 3A, attached to the Pre-construction Notification Application, includes a
"Sequence of Construction" list. The following items from that list generated questions:
a) "Install rock check dam and divert channel away from Sediment Basin"
Was the stream footprint originally located within the sediment basin? If so, how and where
will this stream segment be restored?
b) "Install berm a minimum of 10 feet from channel bank"
What is the purpose of this berm? How is this berm a component of stream restoration?
Please clearly explain the purpose, size and scope of this structure.
c) "After channel path has been established, contact DWQ and USACE for field inspection."
What does this mean? How will the pattern, profile, and dimensions of the stream be
restored? This was not addressed in the PCN nor was it answered as a part of the Notice of
Violation response.
A Notice of Violation from the Winston-Salem Regional Office has been issued for the stream and
wetland impacts associated with the construction of the Simon G. Atkins Academic and Technology
High School. It is our understanding that the subject 401 Certification request represents your efforts
to come into compliance with the State's surface water quality standards, and that you request these
efforts be taken into consideration with regard to any penalty recommendation. As explained in the
January 29, 2004, Notice of Violation, penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation may be
assessed. Your response to this hold notification and request for additional information will enable us
to provide an appropriate review of your application such that you may achieve regulatory compliance.
The following, temporary and immediate measures are recommended to help limit further surface
water standard violations associated with the impacted stream segment, an unnamed tributary to
Frazier Creek, located along the northeast corner of the Atkins High School construction site.
1. It is required that full compliance with the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (issued by
the Division of Land Resources) be achieved.
2. Immediate and full compliance with all conditions listed in the NPDES NCGO10000
Construction Stormwater Permit is also required.
In the vicinity of the northeast corner of the tract, the proposed ball fields have been graded,
and earthen back fill has been placed along the edges of Frazier Creek, within and along an
unnamed tributary to Frazier Creek, and within riparian wetlands. With respect to the resulting
fill slopes, it has been observed that these slopes are very steep (perhaps as steep as 1.5:1).
Efforts to stabilize these slopes by planting ground cover have also been noted. It is the
DWQ's expectation that these slopes be stabilized and that the formation of rills and gullies
and the sloughing off and conveying of sediment into streams, wetlands, and riparian areas be
stopped. This must be accomplished immediately in order to prevent additional or future
surface water standard violations. As such, if side slopes cannot be or are not stabilized,
0 -V
Dr. Donald L. Martin, Jr.

measures need to be taken to address this matter immediately. This may include seeding
matting, mulching, retaining walls, or grading (to lessen the severity of the slope). Regardless
of the methods, continued or additional impact to water from sedimentation must be abated.
4. Along the impacted stream segment, near the northeast corner of the Atkins High School
construction site, side slope are sever. Sloughing, gullies and rills have been observed. This
must be stabilized immediately and/or the severity of the fill slopes reduced to prevent
additional impacts to the stream.
5. The stream banks must also be stabilized. This must be accomplished by matting, staking, and
seeding. It is the expectation of DWQ that the stream banks be stabilized such that earthen
materials and slide slope fill material is not conveyed to waters. This effort should occur
immediately. Further, these measures must be inspected weekly and after every rain even of
0.5 inches or greater. Thereby, it is the expectation that a DWQ site inspection would fail to
reveal un-maintained measures or failing measures and side slopes.
6. Installation of a gravel check dam in the stream is proposed to help catch or limit sediment
from being conveyed off site. If you chose to install this measure you must be sure to
maintain the structure and remove sediment. Please keep in mind that this measure is
temporary, it must be maintained, and footprint of this area is will be required to be restored
upon its removal. Additionally, this measure must be inspected weekly and after every rain
even of 0.5 inches or greater. Thereby, it is the expectation of DWQ staff that a site inspection
would not reveal a failed or un-maintained measure.
7. Please note you may need to discuss these additions and changes with the Division of Land
Resources staff and you may need to modify your sediment control plan accordingly (Please
contact Division of Land Resources if you have any questions).
If you have any questions or would require any additional information please contact Danny Smith at
[phone] or Daryl Lamb at [phone]. Please respond to this letter in writing and address
and explain the status of each of the number items above. This project will remain on hold as
incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0505(c). The processing time for this application will
begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks
we will assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.
Sincerely,
Steve W. Tedder
Regional Supervisor
