III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
Page 5 of 13
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1. Name of project: Reedy Branch Sanitary Sewer improvements
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only):
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): See attached list.
4. Location
County: WoMe_ Nearest Town: Goldsboro
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number):
Directions to site (include road numbers, landmarks, etc.): South most project limits is
located approximately 0.3 miles north of the intersection of US 70 Bypass and CUVIer Best
Road.
5. Site coordinates, if available (UTM or Lat/Long): N 35024'l 5"; W 77°56' 15"
(Note - If project is linear, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the

6. Property size (acres): 15 Acres
7. Nearest body of water (stream/river/sound/ocean/lake): Reedy Branch Creek
8. River Basin: Neuse
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at hLtp://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/admin/maps/.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The site has mainly flat topography where much of the land
is woodlands and agricultural fields. The portion along Hare Road is moderately developed
with single-family homes. The portion of the sewer line along Reedy Branch Creek lies
within delineated wetlands and is downslope of the Wayne County Community College.
Land use in the surrounding area is light to moderate single-family homes with several
apartment/condominium housing. At the south end of the project where the line ties into
existing manholes along US 70 it becomes light to moderate commercial development.
Page 6 of 13
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Section 1: Section 1 consists of the proposed sewer that runs south from the intersection of
Tommy's Road and Hare Road for approximately 0.7 miles. This section continues as the
sewer travels northwest along New Hope Road and turns to travel south on the west side of
Reedy Branch for approximately 0.7 miles.
Section 2: Section 2 consists of the proposed sewer that runs from US 70 along Cuyler Best
Road approximately 1 mile to the intersection with New Hope Road. It travels
approximately 1/2 mile north on New Hope Road to the existing water tank site. The line
also travels approximately 1/4 mile south from Best Road along New Hope Road.
The project will consist of 24" DIP throughout the wetlands and 12, 8 and 4-inch PVC along
the rest of the project area. All sewer pipes will be DIP if the pipe runs within 100 feet of a
potable well. Additionally, the sewer pipe will be DIP within 50 feet of any. creek crossings.
The sewer pipe will be installed with conventional trenching equipment, except all road and
creek crossings will be bore and jack installation.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the project is to providzsanitary
sewer servie to a developing area of Goldsboro.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
The project extends an existing 24" sanitary sewer that was installed to serve the Wayne County
Community College. This original sewer line was installed prior to the Neuse Basin Riparian
Buffer Rule Implementation; therefore, there is no prior project history, other than a sewer
extension permit.

5. Pond Creation
Page 9 of 13
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): There are no ponds being created in the wetlands area.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): There are no ponds being created in the wetlands area.
Size of watershed draining to pond: There are no ponds being created in the wetlands area.
Expected pond surface area: There are no ponds being created in the wetlands area.
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.
The proposed sanitary sewer line ties into an existing manhole that is in the delineated wetlands
and in order to meet the tie in point and still have the future customers served by a gravity
sewer, the proposed location was the most efficient and practical. The proposed route is outside
of the 50' Zone 2 Riparian buffer and contains no permanent structure other than the
underground pipe and manholes. By keeping the sewer rg avity operated, the City is able to
avoid puttin in n any permanent structures such as a pumping station or permanent access roads
to maintain such a facility. The only wet stream crossing (Reedy Branch is designed to be
bored, rather than trenched, to minimize impacts to the stream and its banks. Once the area is
as well as protect the area from increased sediment. The disturbed area will be returned to
natural vegetation and existing ground elevations, once construction is complete. The disturbed
area will function as an herbaceous wetland due to the clearing requirements by the Cit T?for
utility maintenance corridors.
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.
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
Page 10 of 13
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
h"://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htrnl.
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.
Mitigation will consist of the minimization and avoidance of the impact as described in the
above section. The stream crossing is perpendicular and will be bored to avoid having
construction activity within Riparian Buffer Zones 1 and 2. The permanent easement
corridor width will be 10' within the riparian Zones 1 and 2 and will be approximately 140
linear feet; therefore, designating the practice as allowable.
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/)M/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):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

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.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify Neuse )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required

* Zone 1 extends out 3U teet perpendicular from near banK of channel; Gone L extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
Page 12 of 13
There is no mitigation required because the perpendicular stream crossing will have a permanent
maintenance corridor limited to 10 feet in width. No surface construction disturbance will occur
along the 140-foot subterranean bore that passes through the riparian buffer. This practice is
allowable per Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (6) - Table of Uses.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
Entire project area is grassed or wooded, therefore, there is no impervious area associated with
the sewer improvements. Limiting erosion and sediment transport off-site through measures
shown on drawings and included in Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan (check dams, silt
fencing, ditch stabilization, rip rap, etc.).
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
This is a non-discharge project/facility. The sewage will be conveyed through the sanitary sewe
system and disposed of at the Goldsboro WWTF.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

RE: Jurisdictional Wetland Delineation, Proposed Sewerline Corridor along Reedy
Branch in Wayne County, NC.
Mr. Hamilton:
Robert J. Goldstein & Associates has completed surveys of the proposed
sewerline corridor along Reedy Branch in Wayne County, NC. The route is bounded by
New Hope Road to the north, an existing sewerline to the south, Wayne County
Community College (WCCC) to the west, and Reedy Branch to the east.
Sequentially numbered flags (pink) were hung along the wetland's boundary from
south to north (flag WA-1, through WA -184). The area is a wetland complex, dominated
by alluvial hardwoods and dense understory vegetation. Numerous seeps and drainage
channels were observed. These inputs maintain upslope portions of the wetland. Beaver
activity in the lower slope areas of this wetland has created large marsh areas along
Reedy Branch. Several areas of this wetland are defined by moderate to steep slopes
with obvious boundaries, whereas others are saturated areas reaching upslope to their
source. We did not locate the proposed project's transect line, so we instead delineated
the entire wetland edge. The area covered should be more than sufficient to
accommodate realignments to your proposed corridor. The wetland delineation extents
are illustrated on the attached figure. Some portions extend beyond the treeline, upslope
into mowed portions of the WCCC property. These areas were not delineated.
The attached figure illustrates five unnamed tributaries (Uts) of Reedy Branch.
The first three, numbered on Figure 1 accordingly, are depicted on Wayne County soil
surveys, and do qualify for protection under 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Neuse River Riparian
Area Buffer Rules). The remaining two streams, numbered 4 and 5 on the attached
figure, do not appear on either USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps or Wayne County soil
survey. These streams do not qualify for protection. However, local regulations and
planning staff should be consulted to determine if protection is mandated under local
ordinance. Our biologists also observed a protected species. Lanius ludovicianus
(Loggerhead Shrike), during our surveys. This bird, protected as a species of `Special
Concern' by the State of North Carolina, was observed upslope of the proposed project,
inside WCCC maintained lawn and does not utilize alluvial forests for nesting or forage.
Avoidance of upland forest edges and open forage areas should insure no impact to this
species.

and no Bid received thereafter will be considered; except that when a Bid arrives by mail
after the time fixed for opening, but before the reading of all other Bids is completed, and
it is shown to the satisfaction of the City of Goldsboro that the nonarrival on time was
due solely to delay in the mails for which the Bidder was not responsible, such Bid will

all informalities, and the right to disregard all nonconforming or conditional Bids or
counter proposals.

or not the Bids comply with the prescribed requirements, and alternates and unit prices if
requested in the Bid Forms. The City may consider the qualifications and experience of
Subcontractors and other persons and organizations (including those who are to furnish
the principal items of material or equipment) proposed for those portions of the Work as
to which the identity of Subcontractors and other persons and organizations must be
submitted as specified in the Special Conditions. The City may conduct such
IB-4

investigations as it deems necessary to establish the responsibility, qualifications, and
financial ability of the Bidders, proposed Subcontractors, and other persons and
organizations to do the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to the
satisfaction of the City within the prescribed time. The City of Goldsboro reserves the
right to reject the Bid of any Bidder who does not pass any such evaluation to the City's
satisfaction.
If a contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsible Bidder
whose evaluation by the City indicates that the award will be in the best interests of the
city.
13. EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT - PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BOND
Subsequent to the award and within ten (10) days after the prescribed forms are
presented for signature, the successful Bidder shall execute and deliver to the City of
Goldsboro a contract in the form included in the Contract Documents in such number of
1 copies as the City may require.
Having satisfied all conditions of award as set forth elsewhere in these documents,
the successful Bidder shall, within the period specified above, furnish a surety bond in a
penal sum not less than the amount of the Contract as awarded, as security for the faithful
performance of the Contract, and for the payment of all persons, firms or corporations to
whom the Contractor may become legally indebted for labor, materials, tools, equipment,
or services of any nature including utility and transportation services, employed or used
by him in performing the work. Such bond shall be in the same form as that included in
the Contract Documents and shall bear the same date as, or a date subsequent to that of
the Contract. The current power of attorney for the person who signs for any surety
company shall be attached to such bond. This bond shall be issued by a surety licensed to
conduct business in North Carolina and named in the current list of "Surety Companies
Acceptable on Federal Bonds" as published in the Federal Register by the Audit Staff
Bureau of Accounts, U.S. Treasury Department.

The failure of the successful Bidder to execute such Agreement and to supply the
required bond or bonds within ten (10) days after the prescribed forms are presented for
signature, or within such extended period as the City of Goldsboro may grant, based upon
reasons determined sufficient by the City, shall constitute a default, and the City may
either award the Contract to the next lowest responsible Bidder or readvertise for Bids,
and may charge against the Bidder the difference between the amount of the Bid and the
amount for which a Contract for the work is subsequently executed, irrespective of
whether the amount thus due exceeds the amount of the Bid bond. If a more favorable
Bid is received by readvertising, the defaulting Bidder shall have no claim against the
City for a refund.

8-3. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
' (a) Description: On the rights-of-way provided and shown on the plans, the
Contractor shall furnish all materials, labor, equipment, and miscellaneous items
' necessary to construct water line and appurtenances as shown on the plans, complete,
tested, and ready for service. Included as principal items of construction, but not limited
thereto in detail are:
1. Clearing of rights-of-way;
' 2. Furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, and miscellaneous items;
3. Excavating, pipe laying, backfilling, disinfecting, and testing lines;
4. Pavement cutting, removal, and replacement;
5. Removal and replacement of public and private property such as fences, road
signs, mail boxes, shrubbery, culverts, driveways, etc.; and
6. Clean-up of premises after construction.
(b) Excavation and Foundation PreRaration: Only a reasonable length of trench
shall be opened ahead of pipe laying. A reasonable length may be interpreted to mean a
length which ordinarily could be laid and backfilled in a half-day's operation. Streets
shall not be blocked so as to prevent operation of emergency vehicles. Ordinarily, not
' more than one block at a time shall be closed to private driveway usage. The Police and
drawings and/or
'
directed by the Engineer. In all cases, water lines shall be installed with a minimum of 3
feet of cover over the top of the pipe from the finished grade. Excavation shall be made
' by equipment suitable for the type of excavation and the size of the bucket will be
compatible to the trench width required. Trench width from a point one foot above the
top of the pipe to the bed of the trench shall not exceed the outside diameter of the pipe
plus one foot on each side of the pipe unless permitted otherwise by the Engineer. Wide
top dimensions sloping directly to the pipe will not be allowed.
' The Contractor shall sheet and brace trenches where necessary to prevent
sloughing off. Sheeting shall not be removed until backfilling has progressed to such a
stage that no damage to pipe lines will result from its removal. All sheeting shall be
removed unless directed otherwise by the Engineer.
The trench bottom shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and
support for the entire length of the pipe except at joints where recesses shall be
excavated. Where the foundation material is found to be of suitable supporting value or

Fire Departments Excavation shall shall be be kept true to line informed and as to grade the as streets shown on which the are closed.
of extremely hard material, such as rock, the foundation shall be conditioned by
removing the existing foundation material to sufficient depth and backfilling with a
suitable backfill material as directed by the Engineer.
In the event that unstable conditions are found at the invert elevation and it is
found that dewatering or other similar measures will not prevent or cure this condition,
the Engineer may require that stabilizing material be placed in the ditch. Stabilization
material shall be number 57 stone, or other materials as directed by the Engineer, and
shall be placed in the trench in such quantities and manner as the Engineer may direct,
but in no case less than 4 inches deep. Material used to bring the ditch bottom to uniform
grade after excess and faulty excavation will not be paid for. The Engineer may require
that stabilization material be placed at no cost to the Owner if the Contractor has not
taken sufficient action to dewater the trench. Measurement of approved stabilization
material shall be on a cubic yard basis with 2,700 pounds per cubic yard being used to
convert weight measures to volumetric measures. Volumes will be determined by the
depth of bed authorized, the allowed trench width, and the length of the ditch authorized
by the Engineer. The Contractor shall carefully record the quantities of stabilization
material used and it shall be his responsibility to notify the Engineer at the end of each
day of the quantities; however, the Engineer shall be the sole judge as to whether material
deposited is a "Pay Item".
(c) Dewatering Provisions: Trenches and other excavations shall be kept free
from water at all times. The Contractor shall use well point systems and other dewatering
devices as necessary to keep excavated area free from water. The use of installed lines
for drainage will not be permitted. No direct payment will be made for dewatering
measures as such measures will be considered incidental to the work.
(d) Laving Pipe: Prior to being lowered into the trench, pipe and fittings shall be
cleaned and carefully inspected to see that they are sound and free from defects.
Defective pipe and fittings shall be removed from the project. The pipe shall be laid to
the line and grade shown on the plans. Prior to placement of the pipe in the trench, the
bottom of the trench shall be smooth to insure that the barrel of the pipe is evenly
supported along the full length. The use of boards, brick, earthmounds, or other materials
to jack-up or support the pipe will not be permitted. Whenever the nature of the soil will
permit, the excavation at the bottom of the trench shall have the shape and dimensions of
the outside lower one-third of the circumference of the pipe. A space shall be excavated
around each bell or coupling of sufficient depth to relieve it of any load and to insure that
the pipe is supported along its full length. In case the foundation prepared for the pipe is
not firm enough to support the pipe and the superimposed loads, the Engineer may
require the Contractor to consolidate the subgrade by tamping or other means until the
foundation is satisfactory.
Gaskets shall be clean, sound, and free from defects and shall be installed as
recommended by the manufacturer using lubricant recommended by the manufacturer.
Flanged joints shall be placed in absolute true alignment so that the flange faces will be
true and square before bolting the same together in order to guarantee that no stresses
