Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Proposed extension of a structure conveying an unnamed tributary to
Toms Creek on SR 2049 (Forestville Road) in Wake County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to extend the
structure and widen the narrow and unsafe shoulders above both ends of the pipe (Figures
1 - 3).
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The project crosses a perennial stream, an unnamed tributary to Toms Creek, [NCDENR-
DWQ Index No. 27-24, Best Usage Classification C NSW; HUC 03020201] (Figure 3) in
the Neuse River Basin. Please note that the roadway shoulders above the existing
concrete structure are narrow and unsafe (Photographs 1 and 2). In order to widen the
associated roadway shoulders, two joints will be added to both ends of the pipe. Once the
joints are set, the associated roadway shoulders will be rebuilt and the areas surrounding
both pipe ends will be stabilized using riprap for armoring. Please note that dire to the
alignment of the stream on the outlet, a slight channel change is necessary to connect the
new pipe outlet to the stream channel. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the
work zone during the construction. This will involve the temporary placement of
sandbags in the creek upstream and downstream of construction. Once the stream has
been dewatered, the pipe will be extended. Permanent impacts at the site involve a total
of 16 feet of surface water fill (for four new pipe segments), 8 ft of additional stream loss
(due to the channel change), and 16 feet of rip rap placed along the streambanks to
protect the pipe ends. Please note that Oft of rip rap armoring overlaps the reported
impacts for the channel change. Therefore the grand total is 36 linear feet of impacts.
Concurrent temporary impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of
36 linear feet of stream. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 3 days. All
materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction.
Please note that the soils surrounding this cross line are mapped as hydrie: Worsham
sandy loam. However no wetland areas exist within the project limits. Therefore this
maintenance x•ork does not include proposed impacts to wetland areas.

3
feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site,
this crossing is EXEMPT.
Please note that the soils surrounding this cross line are mapped as lrydric: Worsham
- sandv loam. Howe~~er no wetland areas exist within the project limits. Therefore this
maintenance work does not include proposed impacts to wetland areas.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 3 and NWP 33. Additionally, this application provides notification to the
NCDWQ as Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3494 and No. 3366 will
be utilized for construction of this project. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable
NWP and WQC conditions. Apre-construction notification is attached with this request.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Heather
Montague at [phone].

10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: So that
the shoulder sections above the pipe ends can be widened to safer widths, the NCDOT will
add two joints to both ends, back fill, and armor with rip rap. Please note that due to the
alignment of the stream on the outlet, a slight channel change is necessary to connect the new
pipe outlet to the stream channel. The NCDOT will also dewater the work zone during
construction. Equipment may include excavator, backhoe, bulldozer, grader, and crane.
1 1. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: NCDOT will extend the existing_pipe in order to
widen the narrow and unsafe shoulders above the nice ends.
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.LP. project, along with
construction schedules. N/A
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately .from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: A total of 16ft of surface water fill will
result from adding two joints to both ends of the pipe. Also an additional 8ft of stream loss will
result on the outlet end due to a necessary channel change. Additionally 8 ft of rip rap armoring
will be added to inlet and outlet end. Please note that 4~t of stream loss o~~erlaps with rip rap
arma•i~7g. Also 36ft of dewatering is proposed .

5. List the cumulative impact to all Waters of the U.S. resulting frc,m the nr~;P~t•
v ______
Stream Impact (acres): ____ __,___
0.0016
Wetland Impact (acres): NONE
Open Water Impact (acres): NONE
Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. (acres) 0.0016
Total Stream Impact (linear feet): 36
6. Isolated Waters
Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No
Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
7. Pond Creation
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.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Expected pond surface area: N/A
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. All wetlands and surface
waters not affected by construction will be~rotected from unnecessary encroachment during
construction. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands
and surface waters will be enforced during construction Only the smallest amount of fill
necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with I SA 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
