Re: Improvements to Pavement Surfaces and Shoulders of sections of NC 45, SR 1455, and SR 1400
in Hertford County (TIP R-4004).
Dear Mr. Conner
Your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification was received in the Central Office on December 29.
1999. According to our rules (15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)), if final action is not taken within 60 days of
receipt of a complete application, the Certification is waived unless the Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
has objected in writing. Therefore, the DWQ has waived the requirement for a 401 Water Quality
Certification for the referenced project (to impact 324 linear feet of streams and 0.10 acres of wetland) as
described in the application dated December.29, 1999. However, if additional impacts should occur or your
development plans change, this waiver is no longer valid and a 401 Water Quality Certification will be
required.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact either myself at 919-733-9646,
or John Hennessy at 919-733-5694.

SUBJECT: Section 401 water Quality Certification for Improvements to Pavement
Surfaces and Shoulders of Sections of NC 45, SR 1455 and SR 1400 in
Hertfort County; TIP No. R-4004
As you are aware, the NCDOT conducted an upgrade of the pavement along SR 1400
in Hertford County. This work was originally intended to be conducted within the
guidelines of Nationwide Permit Number 03 with no notification to the regulatory
community. However, contrary to what was intended, the NCDOT has gone beyond the
scope of work that is acceptable under NW 03.
Representatives from the NCDOT, the NCDWQ and the USACE met at the project site
on December 15, 1999. Determinations and results of the meeting are as follows:
The NCDOT excavated approximately 324 linear feet within Catherine Creek. The
USACE believes that additional disturbance to this area will result in further damage
to the natural environment. Therefore, the USACE does not require remediation
efforts at this site. Representatives from the NCDWQ also stated that they believed
the stream to be intermittent and therefore, the NCDWQ will not require
compensatory mitigation.
• The NCDOT placed a small amount (< 0.10 ac) of spoil material from a pipe
replacement into an adjacent pine flat next to SR 1400. The NCDOT will remove the
P. O. Box 850 Edenton, NC 27932 [phone] FAX: [phone]
material and dispose of it at an appropriate high ground location, thereby restoring
pre-project wetland elevations and contours.
The NCDOT is inadvertently responsible for a small amount (approximately 0.10 ac)
of fill deposited within Brooks Creek at an existing beaver pond. The material was
deposited when a piece of equipment tried to move off of the roadside to allow traffic
to pass and became mired. Subsequent efforts to remove the equipment disturbed
the area and resulted in material being displaced. The NCDOT will remove the
material and dispose of it at an appropriate high ground location, thereby restoring
pre-project wetland elevations and contours.
• The NCDOT excavated approximately 609 linear feet of channel within a tributary to
Brooks Creek. The excavated material was placed on either side of the channel.
This resulted in the material being placed in approximately .41 acres of wetlands.
As approved by representatives of the DWQ and the USACE during the site meeting
of December 15, 1999, the NCDOT will remove the excavated material and will
place it back into the excavated channel, thereby restoring pre-project wetland
elevations and contours. Additionally, as approved by representatives of the DWQ
and the USACE during the site meeting of December 15, 1999, the NCDOT will re-
align a short section of channel at the outlet end to better match the skew of the
existing cross pipes. The pipes will also be extended on both ends to eliminate the
continued maintenance of the roadway slopes on each end. Rip rap will also be
placed along the slopes around the inlet and outlet end of the cross pipes.
The NCDOT requests that a Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the above
mentioned work be issued "after the fact". The NCDOT regrets that the infractions
occurred and is making every effort to implement remedial actions immediately. Thank
you for your help with this important matter. If you have any questions or would like
additional information, please don't hesitate to call.

Hertfor County; TIP No. R-4004
As you are aware, the NCDOT conducted an upgrade of the pavement along SR 1400

on December 15, 1999. Determinations and results of the meeting are as follows:
The NCDOT excavated approximately 324 linear feet within Catherine Creek. The
USACE believes that additional disturbance to this area will result in further damage
to the natural environment. Therefore, the USACE does not require remediation
efforts at this site. Representatives from the NCDWQ also stated that they believed
the stream to be intermittent and therefore, the NCDWQ will not require
compensatory mitigation.
• The NCDOT placed a small amount (< 0.10 ac) of spoil material from a pipe

placed along the slopes around the inlet and outlet end of the cross pipes.
The NCDOT requests that a Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the above
mentioned work be issued "after the fact". The NCDOT regrets that the infractions
occurred and is making every effort to implement remedial actions immediately. Thank

Dear Mr. Hennessy,
{
SUBJECT: Section 401 water Quality Certification for Improvements to Pavement
Surfaces and Shoulders of Sections of NC 45, SR 1455 and SR 1400 in
Hertfort County; TIP No. R-4004
As you are aware, the NCDOT conducted an upgrade of the pavement along SR 1400
in Hertford County. This work was originally intended to be conducted within the
guidelines of Nationwide Permit Number 03 with no notification to the regulatory
community. However, contrary to what was intended, the NCDOT has gone beyond the
scope of work that is acceptable under NW 03.
Representatives from the NCDOT, the NCDWQ and the USACE met at the project site
on December 15, 1999. Determinations and results of the meeting are as follows:
The NCDOT excavated approximately 324 linear feet within Catherine Creek. The
USACE believes that additional disturbance to this area will result in further damage
to the natural environment. Therefore, the USACE does not require remediation
efforts at this site. Representatives from the NCDWQ also stated that they believed
the stream to be intermittent and therefore, the NCDWQ will not require
compensatory mitigation.
The NCDOT placed a small amount (< 0.10 ac) of spoil material from a pipe
replacement into an adjacent pine flat next to SR 1400. The NCDOT will remove the
DAVID McCOY
SECRETARY
P. O. Box 850 Edenton, NC 27932 [phone] FAX: [phone]

material and dispose of it at an appropriate high ground location, thereby restoring
pre-project wetland elevations and contours.
• The NCDOT is inadvertently responsible for a small amount (approximately 0.10 ac)
of fill deposited within Brooks Creek at an existing beaver pond. The material was
deposited when a piece of equipment tried to move off of the roadside to allow traffic
to pass and became mired. Subsequent efforts to remove the equipment disturbed
the area and resulted in material being displaced. The NCDOT will remove the
material and dispose of it at an appropriate high ground location, thereby restoring
pre-project wetland elevations and contours.
• The NCDOT excavated approximately 609 linear feet of channel within a tributary to
Brooks Creek. The excavated material was placed on either side of the channel.
This resulted in the material being placed in approximately .41 acres of wetlands.
As approved by representatives of the DWQ and the USACE during the site meeting
of December 15, 1999, the NCDOT will remove the excavated material and will
place it back into the excavated channel, thereby restoring pre-project wetland
elevations and contours. Additionally, as approved by representatives of the DWQ
and the USACE during the site meeting of December 15, 1999, the NCDOT will re-
align a short section of channel at the outlet end to better match the skew of the
existing cross pipes. The pipes will also be extended on both ends to eliminate the
continued maintenance of the roadway slopes on each end. Rip rap will also be
placed along the slopes around the inlet and outlet end of the cross pipes.
The NCDOT requests that a Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the above
mentioned work be issued "after the fact". The NCDOT regrets that the infractions
occurred and is making every effort to implement remedial actions immediately. Thank

Dear Mr. Hennessy,
SUBJECT: Section 401 water Quality Certification for Improvements to Pavement
Surfaces and Shoulders of Sections of NC 45, SR 1455 and SR 1400 in
Hertfort County; TIP No. R-4004
As you are aware, the NCDOT conducted an upgrade of the pavement along SR 1400
in Hertford County. This work was originally intended to be conducted within the
guidelines of Nationwide Permit Number 03 with no notification to the regulatory
community. However, contrary to what was intended, the NCDOT has gone beyond the
scope of work that is acceptable under NW 03.
Representatives from the NCDOT, the NCDWQ and the USACE met at the project site
on December 15, 1999. Determinations and results of the meeting are as follows:
The NCDOT excavated approximately 324 linear feet within Catherine Creek. The
USACE believes that additional disturbance to this area will result in further damage
to the natural environment. Therefore, the USACE does not require remediation
efforts at this site. Representatives from the NCDWQ also stated that they believed
the stream to be intermittent and therefore, the NCDWQ will not require
compensatory mitigation.
The NCDOT placed a small amount (< 0.10 ac) of spoil material from a pipe
replacement into an adjacent pine flat next to SR 1400. The NCDOT will remove the
P. O. Box 850 Edenton, NC 27932 [phone] FAX: [phone]

material and dispose of it at an appropriate high ground location, thereby restoring
pre-project wetland elevations and contours.
The NCDOT is inadvertently responsible for a small amount (approximately 0.10 ac)
of fill deposited within Brooks Creek at an existing beaver pond. The material was
deposited when a piece of equipment tried to move off of the roadside to allow traffic
to pass and became mired. Subsequent efforts to remove the equipment disturbed
the area and resulted in material being displaced. The NCDOT will remove the
material and dispose of it at an appropriate high ground location, thereby restoring
pre-project wetland elevations and contours.
The NCDOT excavated approximately 609 linear feet of channel within a tributary to
Brooks Creek. The excavated material was placed on either side of the channel.
This resulted in the material being placed in approximately .41 acres of wetlands.
As approved by representatives of the DWQ and the USACE during the site meeting
of December 15, 1999, the NCDOT will remove the excavated material and will
place it back into the excavated channel, thereby restoring pre-project wetland
elevations and contours. Additionally, as approved by representatives of the DWQ
and the USACE during the site meeting of December 15, 1999, the NCDOT will re-
align a short section of channel at the outlet end to better match the skew of the
existing cross pipes. The pipes will also be extended on both ends to eliminate the
continued maintenance of the roadway slopes on each end. Rip rap will also be
placed along the slopes around the inlet and outlet end of the cross pipes.
The NCDOT requests that a Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the above
mentioned work be issued "after the fact". The NCDOT regrets that the infractions
occurred and is making every effort to implement remedial actions immediately. Thank
you for your help with this important matter. If you have any questions or would like
additional information, please don't hesitate to call.
