Re: April 19, 1996 Monitoring Inspection of the I-40 / Pegg Road Sewer line Project
Dear Mr. O'Neal:
On April 19, 1996 Kelly Hayes of DMP representing -he City of High Point, met
with Ron Lim lle and Alan Smith, from the Division's Winston-Salem Regional Office and
myself, to look at the I-40 / Pegg Road sewer line project. Ren Linville met with Ben
Palmer of DMP on April 26, 1996 to look at that portion of the sewer line south of
Gallimore Daly Road. The project was authorized by General Water Quality Certification
Number 2664 on January 24, 1995 and by the US Army Corgis of Engineers Nationwide
Permit # 12. Our monitoring inspection is part of an ongoing program of compliance
checks on a variety of projects across the State.
Certification Number 2664 contains the following standard conditions: the
construction corridor (including stockpiling of materials) be limited to a 40 foot width
within wetlands and must be minimized to the maximum extent practicable; permanently
maintained access corridors shall be restricted to the minimum width practicable and may
not exceed 10 _eet in width; and established sediment and erosion control practices be
utilized to prevent violations of turbidity standards in the adja:ent streams. Nationwide
Permit #12 also requires that preconstruction wetland contours shall be restored, excess
material will to removed to a non-wetland disposal area, and any exposed slopes and
streambanks tv stabilized immediately upon completetion of :onstiuction.
Listed here are the concerns and compliance problem that we found with the I-40 /
Pegg Road prl-Ject.
1. The sewer line construction impacted several areas of jurisdictional wetlands
which were net shown on the project plans and which were rot fully restored to
preconstructic n contours. We also found small ditches and &amageways which had been
left along and within some of the wetland areas. These wetland areas were located at the
confluence of two streams just south of Thorndike Road (near manholes # 54 and 55) and
between Gall --nore Dairy Road and Millwood School Road (manhole # 5 to manhole # 12).
width.
2. The construction corridor through these wetlands areas often exceeded 40 feet in

3. Spoil material was often pushed right up to banks of the adjacent stream leaving
no vegetative buffers and allowing sediment to erode directly into the creek.
4. Many of the sewer line stream crossings are at small angles increasing the impact
to the stream and in several areas the stream bed has not been restored to original contours.
To convect these problems the City of High Point should restore those impacted
wetland areas to their preconstruction contours and fill in any ditches dug during
construction; pull loose fill material back from the stream banks and stabilize with
vegetation; and restore the stream beds back to their preconstruction contours.
Based on our field observations with Kelly Hayes and Ben Palmer, changes in the
sewer line design could have avoided some of the wetland impacts and reduced the stream
impacts. We believe that it would be in the City of High Point's best interest for watershed
protection to leave vegetative buffers along the streams and to revegetate disturbed areas as
quickly as possible. Future sewer line projects will fall under General Water Quality
Certification Number 3022 which replaced Number 2664 in September 1995. The new
certification also requires that a sewer line parallel to a stream be located at the furthest
distance from the stream as is practicable and no closer than ten feet and that anti-seep
collars be placed every 150 feet along the downstream gradient of the utility line as it passes
through wetlands. DEM strongly encourages the City to look closely at future sewer line
projects to identify wetland areas and minimize impacts to those areas and to adjacent
streams.
Should you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance in bringing this
project in to compliance please feel free to contact Ron Linville at (910) 771-46(X) or myself
at [phone].
Sincerely. v

Please excuse this form. We thought you would prefer a speedy reply to a

Based on our records, there are no Federally-listed endangered or
threatened species which may occur within the project impact area.
The attached page (s) list (s) the Federally-listed species which
may occur within the project impact area.
If the proposed project will be removing pines greater than or equal
to 30 years of age in pine or pine/hardwood habitat, surveys should
be conducted for active red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees in
appropriate habitat within a 1/2 mile radius of project boundaries.
If red-cockaded woodpeckers are observed within the project area or
active cavity trees found, the project has the potential to
adversely affect the red-cockaded woodpecker, and you should contact
this office for further information.
The Service concurs that the proposed project is not likely to
adversely affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species,
their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently
proposed for Federal listing under the Endangered Species Act, as
amended.
Staffing limitations prevent us from conducting a field inspection
of the project site. Therefore, we are unable to provide you with
site specific recommendations at this time.
Questions regarding the enclosed information should be directed to the Corps
of Engineers' regulatory staff member who is handling this protect.
