CRABTREE CREEK LIFT STATION PAVING PROJECT
PRE-CONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION COORDINATION/
NATIONWIDE 3 PERMIT APPLICATION
FOR PROPOSED CULVERT REPLACEMENT
PROJECT NARRATIVE
QORE PROJECT #7613/REPORT #114082
Introduction
The City of Raleigh Public Utilities Department (RPUD) is requesting concurrence with
Nationwide Permit No. 3 for the resizing and maintenance of approximately 41 feet of existing
culvert with approximately 42 feet of the replacement culvert and a total of four additional feet of
rip rap armoring at the referenced project location. RPUD is paving and improving an existing
graveled lift station access road.
RPUD has authorized QORE to act as an agent in the processing of this application and to
provide supplemental information in support of this application. The names, addresses, and
phone numbers of the applicant and the agent appear on the Pre-Construction Notification
(PCN) Application Form for Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General
Permits, Section 401 General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed
Buffer Rules. The applications are included in Attachment A.
Attachment B incudes a U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map for
Raleigh-east, North Carolina (Figure 1), an aerial site map (Figure 2), a natural resources
location map (Figure 3), existing site conditions (Figure 4), proposed site plan (Figure 5), the
site soils map (Figure 6), and the National Wetlands Inventory map (Figure 7).
Project Description
The project consists of the paving and improvement of
public utilities lift station. RPUD would like to pave this
and lower maintenance roadway; therefore, providing e
(Figures 2 and 5, Attachment B).
a presently graveled access road to a
access road to provide a more stable
asier access to the existing lift station
Proposed Impacts
QORE, Inc. (QORE) reviewed the U.S.G.S. Topographic Map for Raleigh-east, North Carolina
for the presence of blueline streams on the property (Figure 1, Attachment B). QORE observed
that an unnamed tributary of Crabtree Creek is located within the project area.
The section of the unnamed tributary to Crabtree Creek that is currently crossed by the
referenced access road and piped within a 32-inch culvert collects debris and flash floods during
storm events. RPUD proposes to increase the diameter of the pipe to a 48-inch pipe to allow for
less debris build-up and to allow for more area for the water to flow through. RPUD proposes to
provide added protection along this section of stream by armoring the bed and banks
surrounding the openings of the pipe with rip rap to protect from scour.
During the installation of the pipe, the flow of the stream will be pumped by a bypass pump in
accordance with erosion control regulations to maintain the best possible water quality. Best
Management Practices (BMP) will be employed during the construction and dewatering process
to minimize the potential of erosion and siltation downstream from construction activities.

Nationwide Permit Application-Crabtree Creek Lift Station Paving Project February 9, 2007
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina Page 2
QORE Protect #7613/Report #114082
In order to resize and replace the existing 32-inch culvert and armor the bed and banks,
approximately five feet of stream and buffer impacts are anticipated (Figures 4 and 5,
Attachment B). QORE understands the impacts anticipated for replacing the existing pipe, in
association with this project, falls under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) definition of
"maintenance" and within the limits of allowable use and buffer authorization in accordance with
the North Carolina Department of Water Quality's (NCDWQ) buffer regulation standards.
Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization
RCUP proposes to improve water quality within the anticipated impact area of the unnamed
tributary to Crabtree Creek by increasing the existing pipe size to allow for less debris build-up
and a larger area for flow. In order to maintain the best possible water quality during the
installation of the pipe, RCUP has exhibited minimization efforts by dewatering the stream by
means of bypass pumping of the water.
Mitigation
The proposed impacts associated with this project are minor and are associated with
maintenance of an existing stream crossing; therefore, no mitigation for the proposed impacts to
the stream is anticipated. As stated previously, this project also falls within the limits of
allowable use and buffer authorization in accordance with NCDWQ buffer regulation standards;
therefore no mitigation for the proposed buffer impacts is anticipated.
Section 106 -Cultural Resources
QORE has requested a Section 106 project review for the subject site from the North Carolina
State Historic Preservation Office (Attachment C). To date, QORE has not received a response
from this agency, but will provide the USAGE and NCDWQ with the information upon receipt.
Section 7 -Protected Species
QORE has requested a Section 7 project review for the subject site from the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Attachmeo~t C). To date, QORE has not received a response form this agency,
but will provide the USAGE and NCDWQ with the information upon receipt.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, 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.

Dear Ms. Davis:
Thank you for your letter, dated December 22, 2006, requesting comments from the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service on the subject project. Our comments are submitted pursuant to, and in
accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.) (Act).
Based on the information provided and other information available, we concur with your
determination that the proposed project 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. Please note for future projects that 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).
We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied. 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}anew species is listed or critical habitat
determined that maybe affected by the identified action.
Thank you for your cooperation with our agency in protecting federally-listed species. If you
have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact Mr. David Rabon at [phone],
extension 16, or via post at the address above.
Sincerely,
~~~ Pete Benjamin
