Ray Flowers, 3015 Stallings Road, Harrisburg, North Carolina 28075 has applied for a Department of the Army (DOA) permit TO RELOCATE A PORTION OF THE CHANNEL OF BACK CREEK TO REDUCE FLOODING OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OFF STALLINGS ROAD SOUTHEAST OF HARRISBURG, CABARRUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed relocation of approximately 250 feet of the existing channel of Back Creek. The proposed channel would be approximately 190 feet long and located from 60 to 80 feet southeast of the existing channel. The proposed channel would have a bottom width of 22 feet, a depth of 7 feet and side slopes of 2:1 which would be similar to the cross section of the existing channel. A total of approximately 1,440 cubic yards of material would be eMcavated by backhoe to construct the proposed channel. The majority of this mateCial would spread over adjacent pasture land; however, approximately 195 cubic yards would be stockpiled on the natural levee for later discharge into the existing channel to form two 30-foot-wide plugs. The plugs would be constructed to close off the existing channel following stabilization of the proposed channel and would be armored with rock to prevent erosion. The purpose of the work is to remove a stream channel meander and reduce flooding on adjacent residential property. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DOA permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DOA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Glean Water Act (33 U.S.G. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing bo held to consider this application.
