Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The alignment has been designed to avoid wetlands, Tar-Pamlico buffers, and excessively deep manholes. As mentioned in 6i, the only reason for the Zone 1 impact of 250 SF is to allow a tie-in to the existing 18" DIP under Interstate 95. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. In the areas where we must cross wetlands or Tar-Pamlico buffers, proper erosion control measures will be implemented and a post-construction survey will verify restoration to original grade. Mats will be used to minimize the impact of construction equipment. The timing of the project (August - November 2009) is to take advantage of the driest time of the year in this area. If, for some reason, the project cannot be started by September, we will delay the project until April 2010 to avoid the traditionally wet season of November-March. 2.

Please locate the project boundaries on the most recent Nash County bound and published county soil survey. Requested map is attached. 2. Please provide a detailed planting plan for the buffer replanting. A detailed buffer planting plan has been prepared by John R. Davis of Soil Horizons, Inc. and is enclosed. This plan will be incorporated into the project specifications. 3. Please provide stream determination documentation on the site. John Davis has also provided stream documentation and photos which are attached. Please note that we have revised the sewer alignment to eliminate two buffer impact areas and what was manhole 83 is now manhole 80. Manhole 72 remains the same and manhole 43 is not included in Phase 2 of the project but was covered in Phase 1 (DWQ Project # 08-1058) which was approved on August 26, 2008. 4. Can the wetland impacts at Site No.1 be avoided by moving the line between the two wetlands? The City of Rocky Mount has already obtained recorded easements to construct the sewer line in the current alignment across the Hodge-Morris, LLC property which includes this area. This easement is recorded in Map Book 36, Page 188, Nash County Registry. Also, the property owner has submitted plans to the City and D WQ for a residential subdivision, Olde Mill Stream. Moving the sewer line would place it in the middle of (bisecting) a proposed lot. The beginning of Phase 2, which is at manhole 59, is also the end of Phase 1. Moving out of the wetlands would require relocating manhole 59 and will adversely impact Phase 1. Please note that the plans and specifications call for all impacted wetlands to be restored to original grade upon completion. 5. Please provide documentation why the wetlands impacts at Site No.2 cannot be avoided by moving the line between the two wetlands. The City of Rocky Mount has already obtained recorded easements as noted above to construct the sewer line across the Hodge Morris, LLC property, which includes this area. Please note that the plans and specifications call for all impacted wetlands to be restored to original grade upon completion. 6. Please provide documentation why the wetlands impacts at Site No.3 cannot be avoided by moving the line approximately 100 feet north. 331 South Franklin Street. Post Office Box 1180 .

Box 1180 Rocky Mount, NC 27802-1180 Reference: Riparian Buffer Restoration Plan for Maple Creek Sewer Interceptor Phase 2. Rocky Mount, North Carolina Dear Karen, Recently, Soil Horizons, Inc. made a site visit to the proposed sewer crossings of Maple Creek. In addition to conducting stream determinations, the ecological areas were observed to obtain a reference for developing plan for restoring the vegetation in the Tar-Pamlico riparian buffer areas impacted by the sewer line installation. Two small areas of riparian buffer zone 2 and one small area of zone 1 will be impacted by the proposed sewer line. The areas impacting zone 2 are near manholes #1 and #4 on sewer line 2. One impact area near manhole #4 is located in a permanent easement and one area near manhole # 1 is located in a construction easement. See plans by Tory Doby and Associates, Inc. consulting engineers. The small area near manhole # I is labeled as impact # 1 on sheet number 18900121 A. It consists of900 square feet in zone 2. See attached Figure 4 for an enlarged view of this area. Another small area near manhole #4 is labeled as impact #2 and is shown on sheet number 18900121A. Impact #2 effects zones 1 and 2. Zone 2 impacts consists of 930 S9uare feet and Soil Assessments For On-Site Wastewater Systems Wastewater System Design And Permitting Stream and Wetland Delineations and Permitting Subsurface Wastewater System Operation IIll Restoration Plan for Maple Creek Sewer Interceptor. Phase 2 p.2 zone 1 impacts consists of 280 square feet. See attached Figure 5 for an enlarged view of these areas. All of these areas are located in the floodplain of Maple Creek and the soils are classified as hydric (Wehadkee and Rains). The surrounding vegetation is young mixed hardwood growth from a recent forest cutover operation. The impacts areas that effect to zone 2 will be planted with herbaceous wetlands plants that can be mowed since one of these areas is located in a permanent easement. The one impact area in zone 1 will be planted with trees. See attached restoration plan. Soil Horizons, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to provide these services.

Plant five bare root Sycamore (Platanus occidental is) trees on 7.5 foot centers in impact area 1. With mortality and volunteer of native trees this should result in a final tree density of at least 320 trees per acre. The cost for these trees will be minimal. If this tree species cannot be found an alternate species may be substituted such as Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). 4. The trees shall be planted according to the detail in Figure 10. 5. A one-time application of 10-10-10 fertilizer shall be applied by banding Yz pound in a two foot circle around each tree. This will require 2.5 pounds of fertilizer. This rate is equivalent to be 1.0 pounds of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium per 1000 square feet. 6. Also, mulch shall be applied around each tree with a 1 to 1.5-foot radius in the early spring to keep weeds from competing with the seedlings. This shall be done each year until the trees grow to a height above the herbaceous plants and cannot be crowded or shaded out. 7. Also, unwanted invasive volunteer plant species may need to be controlled to protect the planted tree species until they get established. Herbicides may not be used in zone 1 or 2 of the riparian buffer. 8. Water each tree throughly after transplanting and mark with tape for monitoring. August 12,2009 Soil Horizons, Inc.

Most importantly, the time between purchase and planting is a more critical issue. Plant as soon as possible. When purchasing bare-rooted trees, inspect the roots to ensure that they are moist and have numerous lengths of fine root hairs (healthy). Care should be taken to ensure that the roots are kept moist in the period between purchase and planting. Prune broken or damaged roots but save as much of the root structure as you can. To plant, first build a cone of earth in the centre of the hole around which to splay the roots. Make sure that when properly seated on this cone the tree is planted so that the 'trunk flare' is clearly visible and the 'crown', where the roots and top meet, is about two inches above the soil level. This is to allow for natural settling. Bare Root Tree Planting Detail Date: August, 2009 I"f."::;' " ,_. I( ....,. I. ;}:! .. SOIL HORIZONS, Inc.

Box 1180 Rocky Mount, NC 27802-1180 Re: Stream Determination Report for Maple Creek Sewer Interceptor Phase 2. Dear Karen, Recently, Soil Horizons, Inc. made a site visit with a representative of the City of Rocky Mount survey crew to the proposed sewer crossings of Maple Creek or unnamed tributaries to Maple Creek near proposed manholes #72, 76 and 80. The purpose of the site visit was to conduct three stream determinations. They included site photographs, GPS locations and DWQ stream determination forms of the proposed crossing. Following is a brief summary of my findings for each proposed crossing. At proposed manhole nwnber 72, the sewer line will cross a small linear wetland feature that is approximately 6 feet wide. This feature only scored 10 points on the DWQ stream determination form. Scores less than 19 are generally classified as non-buffered drainage features such as ephemeral channels. See attached Figure I and stream determination form. At proposed manhole nwnber 76, the sewer line will cross Maple Creek that is approximately 10 feet wide. This feature scored 28 points on the DWQ stream determination form so it is definitely a buffered feature in the Tar-Pamlico river basin. At the point of the sewer crossing, Soil Assessments For On-Site Wastewater Systems Wastewater System Design And Permitting Stream and Wetland Delineations and Permitting Subsurface Wastewater System Operation IlIIl Stream Determination Reoort for Maole Creek Interceptor Phase 2 p.2 the creek is straight so impacts will be minimal. See attached Figure 2 and stream detennination fonn. At proposed manhole number 80, the sewer line will cross a small drainage feature that is approximately 4 feet wide. This feature only scored 13 points on the DWQ stream detennination fonn. As mentioned previously scores less than 19 are generally classified as non-buffered drainage features such as ephemeral channels. See attached Figure 3 and stream detennination fonn.
