APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Ms. Trish Simon, Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 12
P.O. Box 47
Shelby, NC 28151-0047
Dear Ms. Simon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to upgrade
SR 1435 (Cove Gap Road) in Alexander County. The project should be constructed in accordance
with your application dated 9 August 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3289 corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other
federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to)
Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This
approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water
Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless
modified below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new
application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and
approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills
for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the
future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you nuts! follow the conditions listed in the
attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
• Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to design standards for sensitive watersheds
(15A NCAC 413 .0024) since the project crosses streams designated as "High Quality Waters".
• Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for
stormwater sheet flow.
• Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of culvert extensions.
Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical.
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, 6714 Mail Service
1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Telephone [phone] FAX [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post-consumer paper
Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,

Re: DWQ # 001044- Upgrading of SR 1435 (Cove Gap Road), Alexander County
Dear Mr. Dorney:
I am in receipt of your comments letter dated August 14, 2000 concerning DOT's application
regarding our plan to fill streams for the purpose of upgrading of SR 1435 (Cove Gap Road) in
Alexander County. The items addressed in your correspondence included:
1) hazardous spill basins required at the stream crossings
2) sedimentation and erosion control measures must be those for HQW
3) flood plain culverts needed to carry higher flows
4) culverts to be installed below streambed
In response to these items, the following comments are offered.
1) It is my understanding that at this time the issue of the hazardous spill basins is being
addressed on a site by site basis. Section 15A NCAC 02B .0104 (m) states that the
Department of Transportation shall use BMP's as outlined in their document "Best
Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters". This document references
Guidelines for the Location and Design of Hazardous Spill Basins(see attachment). These
guidelines include the following applicable locations for hazardous spill basins:
Mr. John Dorney
Page 2- DWQ # 001044
A) On highways functionally classified as rural or urban arterials
The ADT for Cove Gap Road is 90 with very little change anticipated in the future.
The road is a moderate grade of 4%; however changes to an average grade of
approximately 10% at the county line. Cove Gap Road becomes Pores Knob Road
(SR 2490) once it crosses into Wilkes County. Pores Knob Road is an unpaved, one-
lane, mountainous road. The location of this road in the mountains of Alexander and
Wilkes County and road conditions in this area is prohibitive of large vehicles using the
road as a travel route. The road does not function as a rural arterial for this area.
B) The stream is identified as an outstanding resource water (ORW) or a WS-1 water
supply
SR 1435 crosses several small watersheds that drain to the South Yadkin River. This
section of the South Yadkin River is in a water supply watershed and carries a
classification of WS-II.
C) The stream crossing is within 1/2 mile of the critical area of the water supply source
classified as WS-II, WS-1I1 and WS-IV.
SR 1435 crosses several small watersheds that drain to the South Yadkin River. This
section of the South Yadkin River is in a water supply watershed and carries a
classification of WS-I1. The project site is over ten miles (straight-line miles, not
stream miles) to the critical area of the water supply intake.
Therefore, with consideration of the roads low potential for hazard relative to traffic use
and volume and the considerable distance from the water supply critical area, the
Department of Transportation feels that hazardous spill basins are not warranted for the
proposed work on SR 1435.
2) The erosion and sedimentation control measures have been designed for the 25-year storm.
Stringent erosion control measures conforming to 15A NCAC 04B .0024 will be followed.
3) The terrain surrounding Cove Gap Road is steep and mountainous. There are no FEMA
designated flood plain areas in this area of Alexander County.
4) Culverts will be installed below streambed level.
Enclosed is a copy of the original permit application with scale modifications made on the
erosion/sedimentation control plan and a modified narrative and map of the project area. If you
have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at 704-480-5400. Thank you
for your time and consideration.

GUIDELINES FOR THE LOCATION AND DESIGN
OF HAZARDOUS SPILL BASINS
Hazardous Spill Basins are provided in new highway construction and major
improvment projects at strategic locations along arterial system highways to aid in
containment and clean up of accidental spills. The determination of these strategic
locations is based on concentrated truck usage areas such as; parking sites at rest
areas, weight stations, and runaway ramps, as well as for highway segments in close
proximity to particularly sensitive waters such as; outstanding resource waters and
water supply sources.
The strategy is to configure the highway segment of concern such that any
potential spill runoff would be directed through a facility (basin) where the flow could be
interrupted and temporarily stored to prevent hazardous material from reaching a
receiving stream.
The use of these basins and other management practices to protect receiving
waters is in accordance to the general policies and criteria presented in the departments
document "Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters". The following
is additional specific guidance in the location and design of the basins:
APPLICABLE LOCATIONS
• Basins will be provided at stream crossings on highways
functionally classified as a rural or urban arterials and,
• The stream(') is identified as an Outstanding Resource
Water (ORW) or a WS-I watersupply, or
• The stream(') crossing is within 1/2 mile of the critical
area(') of a water supply source classified as WS-II, WS-III
and WS-IV.
• Provision of basins at crossings of these streams on highways
functionally classified as collectors and local streets and roads
can be evaluated on a site by site basis with consideration for;
traffic volume, traffic type, accident potential related to the
the highway geometrics, receiving water quality and the
feasibility of basin construction at the site.

APPENDIX 0
SHEET 2 OF 2
:a
% (1) , For the purpose of these guidelines "stream" will be defined as those depicted as
blue lines on 7-112 minute (1:24000 scale) United States Geological Survey
(USGS) quadrangles.
(2) Critical area is defined as extending 112 mile from the normal pool elevation of
a reservoir; or 112 mile upstream of, and draining to an intake. This would
make the effective area for hazardous spill basins placement, within 1.0 mile of
the normal pool or upstream of an intake.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
• The volume of spill containment storage provided will be
approximately 10,000 gallons plus the estimated runoff volume
from a rainfall intensity equating to a two year return period
event.
• A means will be provided such that the normal free flow of
runoff at the basin outlet can be interrupted to cause containment
of hazardous runoff. This can be accomplished by providing a
mechanical control gate or by constructing a minimum control
section in the outlet channel that could be readily blocked by such
simple mean as shoveled earth material or stacked bags. .
• The mechanical gate alternative will generally be utilized in areas
where normal operational activities would allow close scrutiny
and control, reducing the potential for problems with vandalism.
Examples would be rest areas, weight stations and within
controlled access.

DWQ # 001044
Alexander County
On August 9, 2000 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your
applications regarding your plan to fill streams for the purpose of upgrading SR 1435 (Cove Cap
Road) in Alexander County. Approval from DWQ is required to disturb these strearris. The
following issues have come up in the review of this application since it is in a HQW (High
Quality Water) area:
1. hazardous spill catch basins will be required at the stream crossings,
2. sedimentation and erosion control measures will have to be those for HQW,
3. flood plain culverts will be needed to carry higher flows and
4. culverts must be installed below the streambed.
Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to
determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions or would require copies of
our rules or procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance
with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The processing time for this application will begin when this
information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks we will
assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.
