Dear Mr Payne:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 70 linear feet of Reedy Fork
Creek for the purpose of replacing Bridge No. 40 on SR 1812 (Diggs Road) in Anson County. The
project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 18, 2001 (received 30 May
2001). 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 General (Regional)
Permit Number 198200031. 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 must follow the conditions listed in the attached 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C.

Subject: Anson County, Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 40, SR 1812 (Diggs Ro
over Reedy Fork Creek 010805
Dear Mr. Timpy:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 40
on SR 1812 (Diggs Road) over Reedy Fork Creek. The purpose of this letter is to request
authorization from U. S. Army Corps of Engineers under a Section 404 General Permit No.
1982000 31 to construct the project.
The existing bridge will be replaced by two in cylverts, each measuring 142" x 91 ". Traffic will be
maintained using an off-site detour.
The project has been described in a Minimum Criteria Checklist and a natural resource
investigation was conducted by NCDOT on March 20, 2001. Impacts to waters of the United
States will result from project construction. There are no wetlands present, although impacts to
surface waters will occur. There will be 0.042 acre of fill in surface from the culvert installation,
equating to 70 feet of stream channel loss. The stream is located in a rural area just outside the
town of Wadesboro and is located in the Lumber River Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03040201. A
permit drawing and pre-construction notification form are attached to this letter.
The NCDOT anticip the permit application will be authorized under a Section 404
. 1. We are also hereby requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification
General Perit No Fu
from the Division of ality. In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAA, we
have enclosed a check for $200.00 to act as payment for processing the section 401 permit
application. We are providing seven copies of this application to the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their review.

4. 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.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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.
NCDOT has determined that the installation of twin culverts would not only be financial viable
to replace the existing structure -but it would also rg eatiy diminish the need for continual
maintenance activities at this site for the proposed replacement structure. Culverts require far
less attention than conventional span brides of a timber or a steel /concrete construction
regarding replacement of structural elements, painting of steel & timber railintts, as well as the
necessity for installation of sub-structural members such as additional piles and /or additional
bents. These culverts will be of sufficient length to minimize asphalt contamination from
reaching stream-bed, should the road be resurfaced and/or widened in the future.
Provisions shall be addressed to lessen impacts to aquatic habitat by establishing a minimum 1-
ft. differential between the two inverts allowing aquatic passage during low-flow conditions.
Page 7 of 12
BRIDGE # 40 ANSON COUNTY
Bank stabilization activities will be limited to not more than 5-ft. on either side of the proposed
culverts.
Temporary silt/sediment control devises will be installed down stream during all phases of
construction These shall be removed at the completion of the project.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A 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
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiancis/strniLide.litnil.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No mitigation is proposed for this project. N/A
Page 8 of 12

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at httn:/.%h2o.enr.state.nc. us/wrp/index 11 till. If

Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
The evistinR Timber Structure (Bridge 940) has been rated to have a structural sufficiency
rating of 14.6% out of a possible 100% - this is the lowest rating of any structure within
Division Ten, covering five counties. Average daily traffic across this timber structure was
recorded to be 1,300 vehicles per day in 1999 The bridge is posted for a weight limit not to
exceed 20 Tons for tractor-trailers - this posting is ignored on a daily basis and the bridge
is subiected to loads in excess of the safety limit Measures have recently been taken- to
replace weak members in the existing structure to sustain repeated overloading - however,
visual evidences indicates that replacement of this structure in the near future is critical, if
the road is to remain open without incident.

Subject: Anson County. Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 40, SR 1812 (Diggs Road)
over Reedy Fork Creel:
Dear Mr. Timpy:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 40
on SR 1812 (Dies Road) over Reedy Fork Creek. The purpose of this letter is to request
authorization from U. S. Army Corps of Engineers under a Section 404 General Permit No.
198200031 to construct the project.
The existing bridge will be replaced by twin culverts, each measuring 142" x 91". Traffic will be
maintained using an off-site detour.
The project has been described in a Minimum Criteria Checklist and a natural resource
investigation was conducted by NCDOT on March 20, 2001. Impacts to waters of the United
States will result from project construction. There are no wetlands present, although impacts to
surface waters will occur. There will be 0.042 acre of fill in surface from the culvert installation,
equating to 70 feet of stream channel loss. The stream is located in a rural area just outside the
town of Wadesboro and is located in the Lumber River Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03040201. A
permit drawing and pre-construction notification form are attached to this letter.
The NCDOT anticipates that the permit application will be authorized under a Section 404
General Permit No. 198200031. We are also hereby requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification
from the Division of Water Quality. In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAA, we
have enclosed a check for $200.00 to act as payment for processing the section 401 permit
application. We are providing seven copies of this application to the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their review.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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.
NCDOT has determined that the installation of twin culverts Would not onlv be financial viable
to replace the existing structure - but it would also greatly diminish the need for continual
maintenance activities at this site for the proposed replacement structure. Culverts require far
less attention than conventional span bridges of a timber or a steel /concrete construction
regarding replacement of structural elements, painting of steel & timber railings, as well as the
necessity for installation of sub-structural members such as additional piles and /or additional
bents. These culverts will be of sufficient leneth to minimize asphalt contamination from
reaching stream-bed, should the road be resurfaced and/or widened in the future.
Provisions shall be addressed to lessen impacts to aquatic habitat by establishing a minimum 1-
ft differential between the two inverts allowing aquatic passage during low-flow conditions.
Pale 7 of 12
BRIDGE # 40 ANSON COUNTY
Bank stabilization activities will be limited to not more than-ft. on either side of the proposed
culverts.
Temporary silt/sediment control devises will be installed down stream during all phases of
construction These shall be removed at the completion of the project.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A 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
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include.
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project: establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams, and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring. enhancing. or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina. available at
lhttp•//h2o enr.state.nc.us'nc%%etlands/strm<lide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including" but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions. conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hit p:',h2o.enr.state.nc.us:'wrp-inde.\ 11 till. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

Yes No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time; for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
The existin,- Timber Structure (Bride 940) has been rated to have a structural sufficiency
rating of 14.6% out of a possible 100% - this is the lowest rating', of any structure within
Division Ten covering, five counties. Average daily traffic across this timber structure was
recorded to be 1,300 vehicles per day in 1999 The bride is posted for a weight limit not to
exceed 20 Tons for tractor-trailers - this posting is i(nored on a daily basis and the bridge
is sub'ected to loads in excess of the safety limit. Measures have recently been taken to
replace Nveak members in the existing structure to sustain repeated overloading - however,
visual evidences indicates that replacement of this structure in the near future is critical, if
the road is to remain open without incident.

Subject: Anson County. Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 40. SR 1812 (Diggs Road)
over Reedy Fork Creek
Dear Mr. Timpy:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 40
on SR 1812 (Diggs Road) over Reedy Fork Creek. The purpose of this letter is to request
authorization from U. S. Armv Corps of Engineers under a Section 404 General Permit No.
198200031 to construct the project.
The existing bridge will be replaced by twin culverts, each measuring 142" x 91 ". Traffic will be
maintained usinu, an off-site detour.
The project has been described in a Minimum Criteria Checklist and a natural resource
investigation was conducted by NCDOT on March 20, 2001. Impacts to waters of the United
States will result from project construction. There are no wetlands present, although impacts to
surface waters will occur. There will be 0.042 acre of fill in surface from the culvert installation,
equating to 70 feet of stream channel loss. The stream is located in a rural area just outside the
town of Wadesboro and is located in the Lumber River Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03040201. A
permit drawing and pre-construction notification form are attached to this letter.
The NCDOT anticipates that the permit application will be authorized under a Section 404
General Permit No. 198200031. We are also hereby requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification
from the Division of Water Quality. In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAA, we
have enclosed a check for $200.00 to act as payment for processing the section 401 permit
application. We are providing seven copies of this application to the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their review.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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.
NCDOT has determined that the installation of twin culverts would not only be financial viable
to replace the existing structure - but it would also greatly diminish the need for continual
maintenance activities at this site for the proposed replacement structure. Culverts require far
less attention than conventional span bridges of a timber or a steel /concrete construction
regarding replacement of structural elements. painting of steel & timber railings, as well as the
necessity for installation of sub-structural members such as additional piles and /or additional
bents. These culverts will be of sufficient length to minimize asphalt contamination from
reaching stream-bed. should the road be resurfaced and/or widened in the future.
Provisions shall be addressed to lessen impacts to aauatic habitat by establishing a minimum I-
ft. differential between the two inverts allowing aquatic passage during low-flow conditions.
Page 7 of 12
BRIDGE # 40 ANSON COUNTY
Bank stabilization activities will be limited to not more than 5-ft. on either side of the proposed
culverts.
Temporary silt/sediment control devises will be installed down stream during all phases of
construction These shall be removed at the completion of the project.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A 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
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9. 2000, mitigation will be required Nwhen
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project: establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating" restoring. enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same .watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina. available at
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/nc?%et]ands/stmiL,ide.htnil.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing; time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
The existing Timber Structure (Bridge 440) has been rated to have a structural sufficiency
rating of 14.6% out of a possible 100% - this is the lowest rating of any structure within
Division Ten covering five counties. Avera,=e daily traffic across this timber structure was
recorded to be 1,300 vehicles per day in 1999 The bridge is posted for a weight limit not to
exceed 20 Tons for tractor-trailers - this posting is ignored on a daily bans and the bridge
is subjected to loads in excess of the safety limit Measures have recently been taken to
replace weak members in the existing structure to sustain repeated overloading - however,
visual evidences indicates that replacement of this structure in the near future is critical, if
the road is to remain open without incident.
