May 7, 1997
Hyde County
WQC 401 Project 4970328
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 5,195 square
feet of waters for the purpose of repairing the road shoulder at the end of SR 1150 near the Pungo River, as
you described in your application dated 2 April 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3112.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required
as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,
Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire
when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing.
You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written
petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorsey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,

Hyde County
Project setting
The N. C. Department of Transportation (NC DOT) proposes to repair ±1,039 feet of road
shoulder adjacent the Pungo River and armor it with riprap. The project site is at the end of SR
1150 in Hyde County near Scranton, North Carolina. The project site is an existing dirt road which
runs parallel to the Pungo River and accesses residential lots. The existing road shoulder which is
vegetated with upland grasses was severely eroded during the two major storm events of 1996. On
both sides of the project area are developed residential lots with riprap along the shorelines.
The project site has an average height of f3.5 feet above the normal water level. Pungo
River is classified as SB-NSW by the Environmental Management Commission and is open to shell
fishing at this location.
Project description
The NC DOT proposes to re-establish the eroded road shoulder of SR 1150 and armor it by
placing riprap an average of 5' into the Pungo River. The project is ± 1,039' long and will require
±11,948.5 ftz of upland fill for the road shoulder and ±5,195 ft2 of riprap fill in the Pungo River
below the normal water level.
Anticipated impacts
Approximately 5,195 W of river bottom will be filled associated with the placement of the
riprap material. Approximately 11,948.5 ft2 of high ground will be filled associated with the re-
establishment of the road shoulder. The project as proposed will result in localized turbidity as a
result of the construction activities.

Dear Mr. Moore:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to undertake
maintenance and repair activities at two secondary road sites in Hyde and Tyrrell
Counties. The state-owned right of way for both projects is 60 feet (30 feet on either
side of centerline). In both cases, the proposed work will encroach into Areas of
Environmental Concern (AECs). For this reason, the enclosed applications and related
exhibits are submitted for your consideration and approval. A description of the
proposed work follows.
1. Hyde County (SR 1150):
A section of this unpaved secondary road, lying adjacent to the Pungo River
was damaged significantly by a succession of storm events. The most recent
storms, associated with Hurricanes Bertha (July) & Fran (September), resulted
in substantial erosion of the shoreline and adjacent fill slopes of the roadway.
The Department proposes to install a riprap shoreline protection device along a
line approximately 28 feet waterward of the existing centerline of the roadway.
This point, the proposed toe of the riprap, represents an average encroachment
into the Estuarine Waters AEC (measured from NWL) of approximately 14-15
feet. Since the shoreline erosion during the last 12 months is conservatively
estimated to be 11-12 feet, the leading edge of the riprap will be only 3-4 feet
waterward of the pre-storm shoreline.
Once the riprap has been placed, a geotechnical filter fabric barrier will be laid
down behind the stone, followed by placement of earth fill obtained from an
upland borrow site. This material will constitute the reconstructed roadway fill
slope. Of course, stringent erosion controls will be implemented in accordance
with the Department's Best Management Practices for the Protection of
Surface Waters.

Mr. Moore
Tyrrell County (NC 94/SR 1301):
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is planning to improve the
intersection of NC 94/SR 1301. Turning radii will be widened for traffic turning
north on NC 94 from S? 301 and for northbound traffic-turning east on SR
1301 from NC 94. To accon) ish this improvern
,enr,'the pipe culverts under SR
1301 at the canal crossing will be-,r`placed yvith longer pipes so that the
shoulders of the roadway can be wid ed.r This canal, an unnamed tributary to
Rider's Creek, has been identified;as?Q lic Trust Waters AEC. Widening the
intersection will result in small.ericroachmen into the canal on the north and
south sides of SR 1301. This' improvement will tify an existing problem,
whereby trucks mu1-presently swing into the oppose lane of traffic to make a
right turn from SR-1301 onto northbound NC 94, and/or trucks must utilize a
portion of the westbound traffic lane of SR 1301 when turning east on SR 1301
from NC 94. The juxtaposition of the canal with the roadway is, of course, the
reason for the tight radii at the intersection.
In addition to the CAMA Major Development Permit application forms (MP-1 and
MP-2 for Hyde County project; MP-1 and MP-5 for Tyrrell County project), please find
copies of engineering drawings of the projects, copies of letters and notification forms to
the adjacent riparian landowners, and two checks, each for $250.00 to cover the
application fees. Once return receipt green cards have been received from the postal
service copies will be forwarded to your office. .
Please call M. Randall Turner at [phone] if you have any questions or
comments. Thank you for your time and consideration.
