Re: Certification Pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act,
Modification to the improvements to US 64-264, including the construction of a new Croatan Sound
Bridge, from west of Manns Harbor to NC 345 south of Manteo in Dare County, TIP R-2551, Federal
Aid Project No. NEF-64 (6), State Project No. 8.T051401, Original WQC Project No. 970856.
Attached hereto is a modification to Certification No. 3167 issued to the North Carolina Department
of Transportation on August 19, 1998. The attached modification authorizes no additional impacts to
wetlands or streams. Rather, the certification authorizes a conversion of road section from station
number 124+57 to 126+17, and from station number 127+83 to 130+41. The proposed design change
is from a five lane (four driving lanes and one center turning lane) to a four-lane roadway with a raised
grassed median. This modification is applicable only to the proposed change in road section from
station number 124+57 to 126+17, and from station number 127+83 to 130+41, and shall be
constructed in accordance with your application submitted March 8, 2002. All the authorized
activities and conditions of certification associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated
August 19, 1998 and all other corresponding modifications still apply except where superceded by this
certification.
If we can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500. The attached modification authorizes no additional impacts to
wetlands or streams. Rather, the certification authorizes a conversion of road section from station number
124+57 to 126+17, and from station number 127+83 to 130+41. The proposed design change is from a five
lane (four driving lanes and one center turning lane) to a four-lane roadway with a raised grassed median.
This modification is applicable only to the proposed change in road section from station number 124+57 to
126+17, and from station number 127+83 to 130+41, and shall be constructed in accordance with your
application submitted March 8, 2002. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated
with the original Water Quality Certification dated August 19, 1998 and all other corresponding
modifications still apply except where superceded by this certification.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the proposed wetlands in
conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will
not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if
conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described in
the Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to 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, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s) of Certification:
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of two manuals. Either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from the
Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices). The control practices
shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50
NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs in all lakes
and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and
the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is
a direct impact from road construction activities;
5. No additional compensatory mitigation shall be done in accordance with this modification.
6. All other conditions written into previous Water Quality Certifications for this project still apply.

Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions
are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within sixty (60) days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written
petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. If modifications are made to an
original Certification, you have the right town adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written
request within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Certification. Unless such demands are made, this
Certification shall be final and binding.
This the 8?" day of March 2002

SUBJECT: Application to Modify the Section 401 Water Quality Certificate to Allow
Converting Portions of the Proposed Center Turn Lane to Raised, Vegetated Median:
Dare County; TIP No. R-2551A; State Project No. 8.T051403; Federal Aid Project No.
NHF-64(6)
Application is hereby made to authorize a design modification of a section of roadway,
previously constructed through wetlands, from the northeast limit of the new Croatan
Sound bridge to the intersection with NC 345 and US 264.
The attached plan sheets including typical sections and plan views provide the necessary
details of the proposed conversion of two sections of the center turn lane of the 5-lane fill
section to vegetated median. The proposed median sections will be delimited by concrete
curbing. Conversion of asphalt pavement to vegetated median will occur from station
124+52 to 126+17 and from station 127+83 to 130+41.
By copy of this letter application is made to the Division of Water Quality to modify the
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate. Under, the assumption that this action may be
considered minor by the DWQ, it is requested that the appropriate application fee be
debited from the DOT account established for this purpose.

Re: Certification Pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act,
Modification to the improvements to US 64-264, including the construction of a new Croatan Sound
Bridge, from west of Maims Harbor to NC 345 south of Manteo in Dare County, TIP R-2551, Federal
Aid Project No. NHF-64 (6), State Project No. 8.T051401, WQC Project No. 000964.
Attached hereto is a modification to Certification No. 3167 issued to the North Carolina Department of
Transportation on August 19, 1998. The attached modification authorizes no additional impacts to
wetlands or streams. Rather, the certification authorizes the herbicidal treatment and subsequent
replanting of the Mashoes Road Mitigation Site in the Spring of 2001 as described in the May 30, 2000
permit application. This modification also authorizes the placement of 4 temporary 24.0" steel pipe
piles in Spencer Creek as well as 14 temporary 24.0" steel pipes adjacent to bridge span 22 in the
Croatan Sound as described in the May 30, 2000 application. Pursuant to the June 21, 2000
application, the NCDOT is authorized to use a large suction machine to effectively vacuum the marsh
spoil resultant from jetting activities. Also, pursuant to the June 21, 2000 application, the date of
expiration for the original 401 Water Quality Certification, and all subsequent modifications, is
extended to December 31, 2002. It should be noted the modification is applicable only to the
additional proposed activities. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated
with the original Water Quality Certification dated August 19, 1998 and all other corresponding
modifications still apply except where superceded by this certification.
If we can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

authorized to use a large suction machine to effectively vacuum the marsh spoil resultant from jetting
activities. Also, pursuant to the June 21, 2000 application, the date of expiration for the original 401 Water
Quality Certification, and all subsequent modifications, is extended to December 31, 2002. It should be
noted the modification is applicable only to the additional proposed activities. All the authorized activities
and conditions of certification associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated May 26, 1996
and all other corresponding modifications still apply. In addition, the Department of Transportation is
authorized to allow leave 600 feet of the existing bridge in place, as described in the permit application
dated March 3, 2000. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated with the
original Water Quality Certification dated May 26, 1996 still apply.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the proposed wetlands in
conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality _
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will
not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if
conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described in
the Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to 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, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of two manuals. Either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from the
Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices). The control practices
shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50
NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs in all lakes
and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and
the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4.-- There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters ;
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is
a direct impact from road construction activities;

5. No additional compensatory mitigation shall be done in accordance with this modification.
6. All other conditions written into previous Water Quality Certifications for this project still apply.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions
are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within sixty (60) days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written
petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. If modifications are made to an
original Certification, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written
request within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Certification. Unless such demands are made, this
Certification shall be final and binding.

SUBJECT: Proposed Minor Modification to Department of the Army Permit
No. 199502334: Improvements to US 64-264, Including the construction of a new
Croatan Sound bridge, from west of Manns Harbor to NC 345, south of Manteo,
in Dare County; Federal Aid Project No. NBF-64 (6); State Project No.
8.T051401; TIP No. R-2551.
Please reference previous correspondence dated January 14, 1999 and a subsequent modification
to Department of the Army Permit No. 199502334 issued February 24, 1999. As noted in the
referenced permit modification, the planting of the Mashoes Road mitigation site was previously
scheduled to be complete by spring of 2000. However, the control of Phragmites australis has
not been successful. Since the removal of this species is a permit condition, the NCDOT feels
that additional time is necessary to control the Phragmites and to get the entire mitigation site
planted.
The NCDOT proposes to revise the planting schedule to reflect planting the site during the spring
of 2001. The presence of Phragmites within the site warrants herbicide treatment of this species.
The Phragmites was treated in June of 1999. However, the site remains contaminated with this
species. Since a non-selective herbicide treatment is not presently available for Phragmities, any
treatment after planting will damage the desired species. Therefore, the NCDOT requests that
the Department of the Army Permit be modified to allow continued treatment of the Phragmites
and to plant the site in the spring of 2001.
Additionally, the contractor has identified the need for 4 additional temporary 24.0" steel pipe
piles in Spencer Creek and 14 additional temporary 24.0" steel pipe piles adjacent to bridge span
22 in the Croatan Sound. The additional piles in Spencer Creek are similar to the previously
permitted safe harbor mooring piles in Spencer Creek. The extra piles are necessary to
accommodate additional equipment that has recently been employed in the construction of the
new bridge over the Croatan Sound. The location of these piles is depicted on sheet 2 of 2 in the
attached drawings. The piles will be used as a safe harbor mooring location in the event of
severe weather such as a hurricane or tropical storm. The 14 temporary 24.0" steel piles adjacent
to bridge span 22 will be used to assist in barge operations associated with the loading and
unloading of equipment and materials during bridge construction. The centerline of span 22 is
located at Station No. 46+36.06 and is approximately 20"8.58 feet east (along the new bridge) of
the first bent on the western bridge terminus. All proposed piles are depicted in sheet 1 of 2 in
the attached drawings.
Thank you for your time and consideration. The Department respectfully requests that
processing of this modification request proceed as soon as possible. By copy of this letter, the
Department also requests that the Division of Water Quality and the Division of Coastal
Management also modify the 401 Water Quality Certification and the CAMA Major
Development Permit respectively. If you have any further questions or would like additional
information, please don't hesitate to call. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Mr. Bell:
SUBJECT: Proposed Minor Modification to Department of the Army Permit

Dear Mr. Bell:
SUBJECT: Proposed Minor Modification to Department of the Army Permit
No. 199502334: Improvements to US 64-264, Including the construction of a new
Croatan Sound bridge, from west of Mans Harbor to NC 345, south of Manteo,
in Dare County; Federal Aid Project No. NHF-64 (6); State Project No.
8.T051401; TIP No. R-2551.
Please reference previous correspondence dated January 14, 1999 and a subsequent modification
to Department of the Army Permit No. 199502334 issued February 24, 1999. As noted in the
referenced permit modification, the planting of the Niashoes Road mitigation site was previously
scheduled to be complete by spring of 2000. Howev,r, the control of Phragmites australis has
not been successful. Since the removal of this species is a permit condition, the NCDOT feels
that additional time is necessary to control the Phragmites and to get the entire mitigation site
planted.
The NCDOT proposes to revise the planting schedule to reflect planting the site during the spring
of 2001. The presence of Phragmites Nvithin the site warrants herbicide treatment of this species.
The Phragmites was treated in June of 1999. However, the site remains contaminated with this
species. Since a non-selective herbicide treatment is not presently available for Phragmities, any
treatment after planting will damage the desired species. Therefore, the NCDOT requests that
the Department of the Army Permit be modified to allow continued treatment of the Phragmites
and to plant the site in the spring of 2001.
Additionally, the contractor has identified the need for 4 additional temporary 24.0" steel pipe
piles in Spencer Creek and 14 additional temporary 24.0" steel pipe piles adjacent to bridge span
22 in the Croatan Sound. The additional piles in Spencer Creek are similar to the previously
permitted safe harbor mooring piles in Spencer Creek. The extra piles are necessary to
accommodate additional equipment that has recently been employed in the construction of the
new bridge over the Croatan Sound. The location of these piles is depicted on sheet 2 of 2 in the
attached drawings. The piles will be used as a safe harbor mooring location in the event of
severe weather such as a hurricane or tropical storm. The 14 temporary 24.0" steel piles adjacent
to bridge span 22 will be used to assist in barge operations associated with the loading and
unloading of equipment and materials during bridge construction. The centerline of span 22 is
located at Station No. 46+36.06 and is approximately 2078.58 feet east (along the new bridge) of
the first bent on the western bridge terminus. All proposed piles are depicted in sheet 1 of 2 in
the attached drawings.
Thank you for your time and consideration. The Department respectfully requests that
processing of this modification request proceed as soon as possible. By copy of this letter, the
Department also requests that the Division of Water Quality and the Division of Coastal
Management also modify the 401 Water Quality Certification and the CAMA Major
Development Permit respectively. If you have any further questions or would like additional
information, please don't hesitate to call. Thank you for your time and consideration.
