ATTACHMENT TO FORM 4345

18) This proposed activity is to replace an existing 48" diameter PVC culvert in an
intermittent drainage channel below Westgate Road (see Figure 2) with a 72"
diameter concrete culvert with concrete headwalls (total width approximately 13 feet;
Figures 3 and 4). The existing culvert is approximately 45 feet in length. The length
of the replacement pipe from end to end is 34 feet. The intermittent channel adjacent
to the existing culvert is approximately 3 feet wide and varies from 0.5 feet to 1 foot
in depth.
The culvert will be placed on the same grade as the existing culvert. Atrackhoe will
be used to remove the existing 48" diameter PVC pipe and install the proposed 72"
diameter concrete pipe. Once the new pipe is in place, footings will be poured and a
form for the headwall constructed. Flow in the channel (if present) will not be allowed
to contact the uncured concrete. Upon completion of the headwall, the culvert will
then be backfilled (above the Ordinary High Water Mark) with a suitable earthen
material compacted at 6" lifts to 95% compaction. A road will then be constructed
over the compacted backfilled material. The road will consist of concrete curb and
gutter with an asphalt road. Two catch basins will be located on this road and drain
into the 72" diameter concrete culvert.
At the downstream and upstream end of the culvert a riprap outlet protection apron
will be installed as required by the NC DENR Erosion and Sediment Control Planning
and Design Manual. These specifications require that the downstream apron consist
of 3" to 5" riprap placed along the channel at a depth of 8" and length of 44' at a
width sufficient to stabilize the channel. The upstream riprap apron should be at a
length of 7' and at a width sufficient enough to stabilize the channel. Apron widths
will be consistent with requirements of the NC DENR Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.
19) The owner's property is accessed from Fleet Service Drive to the east through a 60'
wide easement across property owned by Piedmont Truck Tires, Inc. The
intermittent channel and existing crossing is located on the owner's property at the
end of the easement. The improvements to the existing access will be used to carry
traffic to and from a proposed asphalt manufacturing facility. Construction is
estimated to begin March 2004 and be completed by June 2004.
20) As discussed in question 18, riprap will need to be placed in the channel for erosion
control as specified by the NC DENR Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual. The downstream riprap apron will be 44' long and at a width
sufficient to stabilize the channel. The upstream apron of riprap will be 7' long and at
a width sufficient to stabilize the channel. To reduce the culvert's length and
minimize the activity's impact to the intermittent channel, the culvert will be designed
with concrete headwalls in lieu of flared pipe end sections.
21) Materials discharged will consist of riprap and concrete. Each of the two headwalls,
upstream and downstream, will be constructed of concrete. These headwalls will
have a concrete foundation that will require approximately 3 cubic yards of concrete
each. The two aprons will consist of 3" to 5" riprap with a length of 44 feet
(downstream) and 7 feet (upstream) at an approximate depth of 8". Filter fabric will
be placed under the riprap to help stabilize the channel. The existing channel
configuration averages 3 feet in width and 0.5 to 1.0 feet in depth below the Ordinary
High Water Mark (OHWM). The volume of riprap fill below the existing OHWM is
estimated to be 5 cubic yards. The aprons' width specifications will require
excavation and placement of approximately 10 additional cubic yards of riprap. The
total fill volume of concrete and riprap below the OHWM will therefore be 21 cubic
yards.
22) No riparian wetlands will be impacted by the proposed activity. Riprap will be placed
in approximately 40 linear feet of channel beyond the existing culvert footprint.
Based on an average existing channel width of 3 feet, the total channel area to be
filled is 120 sq. ft. A backhoe or trackhoe will be used to remove material from the
existing crossing and the material will be placed into a dumptruck. The material will
then be transported to an upland location onsite for subsequent use as fill material.
An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan will be submitted to the N.C. Division of
Land Resources, which will specify Best Management Practices to prevent runoff of
material back into the waterbody.

Subject: T.R. Vernal Paving, Inc.
Dear Jennifer:
This letter transmits a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for a proposed culvert replacement off
Fleet Service Drive in Raleigh. During our telephone conversation of Feb 20, 2004, you indicated
that the project would be eligible for coverage under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 18 (minor fill).
We originally anticipated that the volume of fill required would be less than 10 cubic yards, which
would not require submittal of a PCN. However, the City Engineer has stipulated we design the
culvert for the 100-yr flood flow, which will require the use of a 72-inch culvert. Our revised estimate
for fill volume to meet this design standard is 21 cubic yards (6 cu. yd. concrete footings for
headwall, 15 cu. yd. riprap for erosion protection). The 22 cubic yards is still eligible for coverage
under NWP 18, however a PCN is required.
The attached engineering form 4345 serves as the PCN and provides the required information on
the project location and description of activity. We have reviewed the Corps' General and Regional
Conditions, as well the State's WQ Certification #3402 General Conditions for NWP 18, and will be
able to perform the activity in accordance with these conditions.
For your information, Mr. Bob Zarzecki of the N.C. DWQ in the Wetlands/401 Certification Unit has
indicated that the project will be exempt from the Neuse River Buffer Rule as long as we do not
increase the footprint of the existing crossing by greater than 40 linear feet parallel to the stream.
We have designed the project accordingly to maintain this exemption.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this transmittal. If you have any questions or require any
additional information please do not hesitate to call me at 872-6600 ext. 226.
Sincerely,
?

18) This proposed activity is to replace an existing 48" diameter PVC culvert in an
intermittent drainage channel below Westgate Road (see Figure 2) with a 72"
diameter concrete culvert with concrete headwalls (total width approximately 13 feet;
Figures 3 and 4). The existing culvert is approximately 45 feet in length. The length
of the replacement pipe from end to end is 34 feet. The intermittent channel adjacent
to the existing culvert is approximately 3 feet wide and varies from 0.5 feet to 1 foot
in depth.
The culvert will be placed on the same grade as the existing culvert. A trackhoe will
be used to remove the existing 48" diameter PVC pipe and install the proposed 72"
diameter concrete pipe. Once the new pipe is in place, footings will be poured and a
form for the headwall constructed. Flow in the channel (if present) will not be allowed
to contact the uncured concrete. Upon completion of the headwall, the culvert will
then be backfilled (above the Ordinary High Water Mark) with a suitable earthen
material compacted at 6" lifts to 95% compaction. A road will then be constructed
over the compacted backfilled material. The road will consist of concrete curb and
gutter with an asphalt road. Two catch basins will be located on this road and drain
into the 72" diameter concrete culvert.
At the downstream and upstream end of the culvert a riprap outlet protection apron
will be installed as required by the NC DENR Erosion and Sediment Control Planning
and Design Manual. These specifications require that the downstream apron consist
of 3" to 5" riprap placed along the channel at a depth of 8" and length of 44' at a
width sufficient to stabilize the channel. The upstream riprap apron should be at a
length of 7' and at a width sufficient enough to stabilize the channel. Apron widths
will be consistent with requirements of the NC DENR Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.
19) The owner's property is accessed from Fleet Service Drive to the east through a 60'
wide easement across property owned by Piedmont Truck Tires, Inc. The
intermittent channel and existing crossing is located on the owner's property at the
end of the easement. The improvements to the existing access will be used to carry
traffic to and from a proposed asphalt manufacturing facility. Construction is
estimated to begin March 2004 and be completed by June 2004.
20) As discussed in question 18, riprap will need to be placed in the channel for erosion
control as specified by the NC DENR Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual. The downstream riprap apron will be 44' long and at a width
sufficient to stabilize the channel. The upstream apron of riprap will be 7' long and at
a width sufficient to stabilize the channel. To reduce the culvert's length and
minimize the activity's impact to the intermittent channel, the culvert will be designed
with concrete headwalls in lieu of flared pipe end sections.
21) Materials discharged will consist of riprap and concrete. Each of the two headwalls,
upstream and downstream, will be constructed of concrete. These headwalls will
have a concrete foundation that will require approximately 3 cubic yards of concrete
each. The two aprons will consist of 3" to 5" riprap with a length of 44 feet
(downstream) and 7 feet (upstream) at an approximate depth of 8". Filter fabric will
be placed under the riprap to help stabilize the channel. The existing channel
configuration averages 3 feet in width and 0.5 to 1.0 feet in depth below the Ordinary
High Water Mark (OHWM). The volume of riprap fill below the existing OHWM is
estimated to be 5 cubic yards. The aprons' width specifications will require
excavation and placement of approximately 10 additional cubic yards of riprap. The
total fill volume of concrete and riprap below the OHWM will therefore be 21 cubic
yards.
22) No riparian wetlands will be impacted by the proposed activity. Riprap will be placed
in approximately 40 linear feet of channel beyond the existing culvert footprint.
Based on an average existing channel width of 3 feet, the total channel area to be
filled is 120 sq. ft. A backhoe or trackhoe will be used to remove material from the
existing crossing and the material will be placed into a dumptruck. The material will
then be transported to an upland location onsite for subsequent use as fill material.
An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan will be submitted to the N.C. Division of
Land Resources, which will specify Best Management Practices to prevent runoff of
material back into the waterbody.

Dear Mr. Zarzecki:
MATER QUAIJ-1 S'EGTi N
Attached please find two copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for a proposed culvert
replacement off Fleet Service Drive in Raleigh. This PCN was submitted to Jennifer Burdette at the
Raleigh office of the US Army Corps of Engineers. As I related to you on Feb 20, 2004, Ms.
Burdette indicated that the project would be eligible for coverage under Nationwide Permit (NWP)
No. 18 (minor discharges). We originally anticipated that the volume of fill required would be less
than 10 cubic yards, which would not require submittal of a PCN. However, the City Engineer has
stipulated we design the culvert to the 100-yr flood flow, which will require the use of a 72-inch
culvert. Our revised estimate for fill volume to meet this design standard is 21 cubic yards. The 21
cubic yards is still eligible for coverage under NWP 18, however a PCN is required.
We have reviewed the Corps' General and Regional conditions, as well the State's WQ Certification
#3402 General Conditions for NWP 18, and will be able to perform the activity in accordance with
these conditions. The drainage does not flow to an impaired water listed under Section 303(d) of the
Clean Water Act. We have designed the project to meet the 40-foot maximum additional footprint to
maintain exemption from the Neuse River Buffer Rule.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this transmittal. If you have any questions or require any
additional information please do not hesitate to call me at 872-6600, ext. 226.
Sincerely,

This letter transmits a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for a proposed cul11V1AJ 0966M9GPON
Fleet Service Drive in Raleigh. During our telephone conversation of Feb 20, 2004, you indicated
that the project would be eligible for coverage under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 18 (minor fitl).
We originally anticipated that the volume of fill required would be less than 10 cubic yards, which
would not require submittal of a PCN. However, the City Engineer has stipulated we design the
culvert for the 100-yr flood flow, which will require the use of a 72-inch culvert. Our revised estimate
for fill volume to meet this design standard is 21 cubic yards (6 cu. yd. concrete footings for
headwall, 15 cu. yd. riprap for erosion protection). The 22 cubic yards is still eligible for coverage
under NWP 18, however a PCN is required.
The attached engineering form 4345 serves as the PCN and provides the required information on
the project location and description of activity. We have reviewed the Corps' General and Regional
Conditions, as well the State's WQ Certification #3402 General Conditions for NWP 18, and will be
able to perform the activity in accordance with these conditions.
For your information, Mr. Bob Zarzecki of the N.C. DWQ in the Wetlands/401 Certification Unit has
indicated that the project will be exempt from the Neuse River Buffer Rule as long as we do not
increase the footprint of the existing crossing by greater than 40 linear feet parallel to the stream.
We have designed the project accordingly to maintain this exemption.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this transmittal. If you have any questions or require any
additional information please do not hesitate to call me at 872-6600 ext. 226.
