DWQ Project No. 010643
SR 1372B (Richlands Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. Heath Slaughter, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 11
P.O. Box 250
North Wilkesboro, NC 28659
Dear Mr. Slaughter:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 50
linear feet of unnamed tributaries to the Yadkin River in order to improve SR 1372B (Richlands Road) in
Caldwell County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated 23 April
2001 (received 27 April 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
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 211.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
1. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the
trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15, or as otherwise determined by the North
- - - - Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from - - - - - - - - - -
sedimentation during construction.
2. 'Stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be routed directly
into streams.
3. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0024) must
be implemented prior to any ground-disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic
resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 5
days of ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control.
4. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel should not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of culvert extensions.
5. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.

Page 2 of 2 _
6. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be regularly inspected and maintained
to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials.
7. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances should rock,
sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit,
except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts.
8. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
9. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If necessary, rip-rap should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark,
and vegetation should be used for stabilization above high water.
10. Rock silt screens at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion.
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. 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 Domey at 919-733-1786.

Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 1, 2001
SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), SR1372B,
Richlands Road, Unnamed Tributaries to Yadkin River, Caldwell County
These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and the North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 113A-10; NCAC 25). The
NCDOT proposes to improve and pave along the existing roadway of the referenced
project area. Three existing bridges will not be replaced. Five wet line crossings will
require the installation of replacement piping. Wild rainbow and brown trout are found
in the area.
We will not object to the project provided the following conditions are
implemented: _
1. Pipes of 36" or larger should be designed and constructed large enough so that
they can be installed approximately one foot below streambed grade so that all
waters can flow through without freefalling or damming on either end during
low flow conditions to maintain aquatic life or fish passage. Smaller pipes
should be placed on stream bed grade or lower for the same reason unless
bedrock or severe topography is encountered. The dimension, pattern, and
profile of the streams above and below the pipes should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
2. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does
not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's
water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
SR1372B, Richlands Road 2 05101101
3. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream
channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of
introducing other pollutants into the stream.
4. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
5. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare
soil within 5 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion
control. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for
streambank stabilization when practicable.
6. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are
prohibited during the trout spawning seasons of October 15 through April 15 to
protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the
early planning stages. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please
contact me at 336/769-9453.

SR 1372B (Richlands Road)
Caldwell County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lund:
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave primarily
along the existing roadway of SR 1372B (Richlands Road) in Caldwell County. There are three
(3) existing bridges crossing the Yadkin River within the work zone on this roadway. We plan to
leave the existing bridges in place and taper the road into them. However, this project will require
the replacement of five (5) wet cross lines as shown below:
1) Replace existing 30'x 18" pipe at station 1+25 with a 40'x 18" BIT coated CMP.
2) Replace existing 30'x 18" pipe at station 5+75 with a 40'x 18" BIT coated CMP.
3) Replace existing 30'x 24" pipe at station 21+30 with a 40'x 24" BIT coated CMP.
4) Replace existing 40'x 72"x 48" flat bottom pipe at station 27+00 with a 50'x 72"x 48"
flat bottom BIT coated CMP.
5) Replace existing 30'x 24" pipe at station 45+50 with a 40'x 24" BIT coated CMP.
** Total new stream impacts: 50 linear feet. There are no anticipated rip-rap impacts.
All wet pipe crossings carry different unnamed tributaries to the Yadkin River (Class: C, Trout).
No Endangered/Threatened species (or their critical habitat) will be impacted by this project. Any
widening of the existing roadway will be directed away from any adjacent creek whenever
possible with minimum fill placed in the buffer area. The total project length is approximately 1.2
miles. Due to the proposed work, we are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit #14.

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.arniy.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at bttp://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/regiour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.ushncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).

CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg.
12893 (March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg_pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee, is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/newetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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.
The existing roadway must be widened to achieve an acceptable section width, thus increasing
public safety. The existing pipes must also be upgraded to an acceptable maintenance condition
By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings adverse impacts to
streams in the area will be minimized.

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:/Pn2o.enr.state.ne.us/newetlands/strmgide.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.
N/A

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 hap://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wTOndex.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
land?
Yes ® No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No N
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify. )?
Yes ? No N If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
T)-_ . n ..c 1,)
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

NOTE: Silt Basin Type B: 3'a3'by 6' long unless otherwise noted by Engineer
GENERAL NOTES ON EROSION CONTROL
Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to the dimension of six feet by three
feet by three feet unless otherwise noted on the plans.
Where slope protection treatment is required, Section 868 and Section 1042 of
the 1990 Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures will be followed.
Any material obtained from the project must be clean before being placed.
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as
follows:
Temporary Silt Basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt Fences and Temporary Silt Ditches shall be installed after
clearing and before grading.
Temporary Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as soon as
ditchline is established.
Pipe Outlet and Inlet Protection will be done as soon as the pipe
is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be
implemented as soon as practical.
PIPE INSTALLATION
Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screens will be used and installed prior to pipe replacement or any
work being done to channel.
2. Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or
escaping from project.
3. Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or
escaping from project. Where possible, new grade will be below
existing stream bed. If needed, bedding material will be clean stone.
4. Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5. Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also
complete installation of erosion control measures and perform
maintenance as needed on existing measure.
6. Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
7. Remove rock silt screens as soon as possible after vegetation is
established. Prior to removal of rock silt screens any accumulated silt
must be removed.

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1372B (Richlands Road)
Caldwell County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lund:
010643
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave primarily
along the existing roadway of SR 1372B (Richlands Road) in Caldwell County. There are three
(3) existing bridges crossing the Yadkin River within the work zone on this roadway. We plan to
leave the existing bridges in place and taper the road into them. However, this project will require
the replacement of five (5) wet cross lines as shown below:
1) Replace existing 30'x 18" pipe at station 1±25 with a 40'x 18" BIT coated CMP.
2) Replace existing 30'x 18" pipe at station 5+75 with a 40'x 18" BIT coated CMP.
3) Replace existing 30'x 24" pipe at station 21+30 with a 40'x 24" BIT coated CMP.
4) Replace existing 40'x 72"x 48 flat bottom pipe at station 27+00 with a 50'x 72"x 48"
flat bottom BIT coated CMP.
5) Replace existing 30'x 24" pipe at station 45+50 with a 40'x 24" BIT coated CMP.
** Total new stream impacts: 50 linear feet. There are no anticipated rip-rap impacts.
All wet pipe crossings carry different unnamed tributaries to the Yadkin River (Class: C, Trout).
No Endangered/Threatened species (or their critical habitat) will be impacted by this project. Any
widening of the existing roadway will be directed away from any adjacent creek whenever
possible with minimum fill placed in the buffer area. The total project length is approximately 1.2
miles. Due to the proposed work, we are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit #14.

Pre-.Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army:mil/wetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NC)VRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
n...... 1 ..r1 )
l
s
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg.
12893 (March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nnfinalFedReg.pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/newetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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.
The existing roadway must be widened to achieve an acceptable section width, thus increasing
public safety. The existing pipes must also be upgraded to an acceptable maintenance condition.
By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings, adverse impacts to
streams in the area will be minimized.

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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stringide.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.

NOTE: Silt Basin Type B: 31s3'by 6' long unless otherwise noted by Engineer
GENERAL NOTES ON EROSION CONTROL
Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to the dimension of six feet by three
feet by three feet unless otherwise noted on the plans.
Where slope protection treatment is required, Section 868 and Section 1042 of
the 1990 Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures will be followed.
Any material obtained from the project must be clean before being placed.
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as
follows:
Temporary Silt Basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt Fences and Temporary Silt Ditches shall be installed after
clearing and before grading.
Temporary Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as soon as
ditchline is established.
Pipe Outlet and Inlet Protection will be done as soon as the pipe
is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be
implemented as soon as practical.
PIPE INSTALLATION
1. Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screens will be used and installed prior to pipe replacement or any
work being done to channel.
2. Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or
escaping from project.
3. Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or
escaping from project. Where possible, new grade will be below
existing stream bed. If needed, bedding material will be clean stone.
4. Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5. Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also
complete installation of erosion control measures and perform
maintenance as needed on existing measure.
6. Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
7. Remove rock silt screens as soon as possible after vegetation is
established. Prior to removal of rock silt screens any accumulated silt
must be removed.
