SUBJECT: Pre-construction Notification Application for City of Trinity, Sewer System
Improvements, Colonial Heights Area, Randolph County, North Carolina. DWQ ill:
- 040-567~

Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
subject document and we are familiar with the habitat values of the area. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and the North Carolina General
Statutes (G.s. 113-131 et seq.).

The applicant proposes to temporarily impact 144 linear feet (If) of perennial stream channel in
the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin for construction of a 6-inch sewer force main and gravity sewer to serve
an existing residential development with a history of septic system failures. The project will impact an
unnamed tributary to the Uwharrie River. There are no records for federal or state listed species within
the project boundaries.

While we understand the benefits to water quality by eliminating failing septic systems, we are
concerned about the number of stream crossings the applicant indicates are needed to install the sewer
line. From the information provided, it appears that many, ifnot all, of the stream crossings between 5
and 10 can be eliminated by selecting a route that follows the northwestern side of the stream channel.

We offer the following recommendations to reduce impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife
resources.

1. We recommend that the sewer line be kept out of riparian buffer areas. All utility crossings should be
kept to a minimum, which includes careful routing design and the combination of utility crossings
into the same right-of-way (provided there is not a safety issue). Discontiguous buffer segments can
impair riparian functions disproportionate to the relative occurrence of the breaks in the buffer (May
and Homer 2000; Van Sickle 2000), and multiple crossings can result in cumulative impacts. The
directional bore (installation of utilities beneath the riverbed, avoiding impacts to the stream and
buffer) stream crossing method should be used for utility crossings wherever practicable, and the

open cut stream crossing method should only be used when water level is low and stream flow is
minimal. Manholes or similar access structures should not be allowed within buffer areas. Stream
crossings should be near perpendicular (750 to 1050) to stream flow and should be monitored at least
every three months for maintenance needs during the first 24 months of the project and then annually
thereafter. Sewer lines associated with crossing areas should be maintained and operated at all times
to prevent the discharge to land or surface waters. We recommend a minimum 50-100 feet setback
on all streams, lakes, and wetlands for these structures. In circumstances where minimum setbacks
cannot be attained, sewer lines shall be constructed of ductile iron or other substance of equal
durability. Further, pesticides (including insecticides and herbicides) should not be used for
maintenance of rights-of-way within 100 feet of perennial streams and 50 feet of intermittent streams,
or within floodplains and wetlands associated with these streams.

2. Avoid the removal of large trees at the edges of construction corridors. Re-seed disturbed areas with
seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife. Avoid fescue based mixtures because fescue is invasive
and provides little benefit to wildlife. Native, annual small grains appropriate for the season are
preferred and recommended (See htt.p://www.esb.enr.state.nc.us/wetplantlwetlandplants.htm.
accessed May 2004). Where feasible, use woody debris and logs from corridor clearing to establish
brush piles and downed logs adjacent to the cleared right-of-way to improve habitat for wildlife.
Allowing the corridor area to revegetate into a brush/scrub habitat would maximize benefits to
wildlife. For areas adjacent to residential areas, a native shrub/grass option may also be beneficial.
Minimize corridor maintenance and prohibit mowing between April 1 and October 1 to minimize
impacts to nesting wildlife. We suggest a maintenance schedule that incorporates only a portion of
the area -one third of the area, for example-each year instead of the entire project every 3 or 4
years. Herbicides and pesticides should never be used in wetland areas or near streams, as described
above.

3. Concrete is toxic to aquatic life and should not be allowed to come in contact with surface waters
until cured.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide input during the planning stages for this project. If we
can be of further assistance, please contact our office at [phone].

Dear John:

Please find enclosed seven sets of revised co struction plans and seven copies of the
Pre-Construction Notification.

As you will notice on the enclosed plans, the tream location has been revised. It has
come to our attention that the original plans ubmitted to you had incorrect stream
location information. The stream layer that wa shown was taken from preliminary GIS
information rather than the actual surveyed poi ts. The correct stream location, based
on actual survey information, is shown on the e closed plans.

This correction eliminated the majority of the p rallel impacts discussed in your letter.
However, there are three areas where it was ecessary to encroach on the 50-foot
buffer required in the "Gravity Sewer Minimum 0 sign Criteria".
. Station 49+70-54+05: This s gment of gravity sewer is
located in previously disturbed a eas. In fact, Station 49+ 70-
50+60 lies within NCDOT right -of-way. The remainder of
this portion is located in residen ial lawns. It is not possible
to shift this portion the line away from the stream because of
existing structures. As currentl designed, there is only 15
feet between the temporary con truction easement and the
corner of an existing house. Li wise, there is only 10 feet
between the temporary const uction easement and an
existing out-building.

. Station 33+40-34+20 and Stati n 43+37-44+37: Both
segments are located within the 50-foot buffer in order to
reduce the depth of the sewers p ralleling the stream. This
design makes it possible to avoi sewer lines at excessive
depths of approximately 30 feet.

Therefore, for the above discussed reasons we feel there is adequate justification for
locating these short segments gravity sewer the within the 50-foot buffer.
Subsequently, we are in the process ofre uesting a variance from DWQ for these
areas.

In addition, it is my understanding after spe king with Scott Carpenter of DWQ, that a
30-foot vegetative buffer is required for WS-II waters. All portions of the gravity sewer
mentioned above are outside of this 30-foot r quired buffer.

Should you have any additional questions or oncerns, please contact me.

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equ to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Not ce of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on arch 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to he aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact d function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in dete ning acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigatio that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of t e project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect ope waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by crea ing, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same wa rshed.

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 applica . on complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NC concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to re iew the current guidelines for stream restoration

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.

USACE - In accordance with the Fin Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Regi er on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effe ts to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed i pact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in etermining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of tigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the si e of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to prot ct open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values y creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the s e watershed.

If mitigation is required for this projec 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 r NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also cho se to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
htt ://h20.enr.state.nc,us/ncwetlands/str ide.html.
