Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from
SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville Road) in Durham County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville
Road) (Figure 1) in Durham County. SR 1619 is an unpaved roadway that will be
upgraded to a paved roadway. Total project length is 1.67 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6,136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Wiley Mangum Road has a paving priority of 17 and was scheduled to be
paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads Construction Program.
A portion of the roadway falls within the planned expansion of Lake Michie. Mr.
Tom Glenn, City of Durham Director of Environmental Resources, has stated that the
expansion of Lake Michie is noted in the City's water supply plan and planning
documents. It is scheduled to be expanded within the next 10-15 years; however, it could
be required sooner due to increased water needs throughout the area. The City of
Durham has requested that the NCDOT raise the grade on the roadway to an elevation
that would allow it to remain in place once the expansion of Lake Michie is completed.
The proposed roadway grade would be raised as high as elevation of 395 feet in the sag

vertieat curve as the maximum flood pool elevation for the expanded lake is elevation of
,390*61. The NCDOT has concluded to pave and upgrade the existing roadway as
well as raise the existing grade at this time. This will reduce the amount of
construction impacts at the site and reduce the amount of in-stream disturbance.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
at Site 1 (66+70-L-) (Figure 2). Here, the project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary
to Flat River/Lake Michie (DWQ Index No. 27-3-(5.5)) which is located in the Neuse
River Basin. This stream has a Best Usage Classification of WS-III NSW CA. The
existing structure is a 66 inch corrugated metal pipe that is approximately 60 feet long.
The NCDOT proposes to replace the pipe with a 1 @ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe
with a headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project
include 90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream during the construction
of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags or Class B or
Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel approxin tely 10 feet
upstream of the proposed pipe inlet (Figure 2). To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream. The stream will be dewatered less
than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these surface waters. Temporary
impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 0,.01 ac of stream
bed and 150 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric
will be removed after construction.
Permit Issues
The construction of the project is authorized under a Section 404Nationwide
Permit (NWT) 14, linear transportation crossings. Notification for the use of this NWP to
the USACE is not required for this project, as the discharge associated with the project is
less than 0.10 acre and there are no impacts to special aquatic sites (including wetlands).
Accordingly, notification to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3289 is not required for this project.
NCDOT will comply with all conditions associated with this NWP and WQC.
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a Section 404 NWP 33
to dewater the stream during project construction. The 401 WQC No. 3114 (which
corresponds to NWP 33) does not require written concurrence from the NCDWQ as
NCDOT intends to comply with conditions for the WQC.
f
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project at Site 1 results in impacts to the riparian buffer
(Figure 2). Construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 90
linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this
crossing is allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no
practicable alternatives" determination. The NCDOT certifies that the criteria
documented in Sub-Item (8)(a) of the buffer rules (which find that there are no practical
alternatives to the project) are met. The NCDOT requests an Authorization Certificate
for this project. Information supporting that there are no practical alternatives for the
issuance of this certification is summarized below:
• Improvements must be conducted at the site (i.e. raising the grade) to accommodate a
proposed raised pool elevation for the expansion of Lake Michie.
• The proposed upgrade and paving of Wiley Mangum Road is mandated by the
transportation and highway laws of North Carolina. This roadway has a paving
priority of 17 and was scheduled to be paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
• The fill slopes have been reduced to 2:1.
• Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be enforced
during the life of the project.
• The length of the proposed pipe and rip rap have been reduced as much as possible to
allow for only the amount of fill necessary to raise the existing grade at the site. This
design reduces stream and riparian buffer impacts.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade SR 1619 in Durham County. This will involve
replacing the structure that conveys an unnamed perennial tributary to Flat River/Lake
Michie. The proposed structure is 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe with a
headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project include
90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water. The NCDOT asks
that the dewatering of the stream be authorized under a Section 404 NWP 33. The
NCDOT will adhere to all applicable Section 404 NWPs and Section 401 WQCs
conditions.
Construction of the project results in impacts to the riparian buffer. Riparian
construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 66 linear feet of
riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is
allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no practicable
alternatives" determination and subsequently issue an Authorization Certificate for this
project. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact me at [phone].

401 ISSUED
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from
SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville Road) in Durham County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville
Road) (Figure 1) in Durham County. SR 1619 is an unpaved roadway that will be
upgraded to a paved roadway. Total project length is 1.67 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6,136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Wiley Mangum Road has a paving priority of 17 and was scheduled to be
paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads Construction Program.
A portion of the roadway falls within the planned expansion of Lake Michie. 1-4r.
Tom Glenn, City of Durham Director of Environmental Resources, has stated that the
expansion of Lake Michie is noted in the City's water supply plan and planning
documents. It is scheduled to be expanded within the next 10-15 years; however, it could
be required sooner due to increased water needs throughout the area. The City of
Durham has requested that the NCDOT raise the grade on the roadway to an elevation
that would allow it to remain in place once the expansion of Lake Michie is completed.
The proposed roadway grade would be raised as high as elevation of 395 feet in the sag

vertical curve as the maximum flood pool elevation for the expanded lake is elevation of
390 feet..'The NCDOT has concluded to pave and upgrade the existing roadway as
well as raise the existing grade at this time. This will reduce the amount of
construction impacts at the site and reduce the amount of in-stream disturbance.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
at Site 1 (66+70-L-) (Figure 2). Here, the project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary
to Flat River/Lake Michie (DWQ Index No. 27-3-(5.5)) which is located in the Neuse
River Basin. This stream has a Best Usage Classification of WS-III NSW CA. The
existing structure is a 66 inch corrugated metal pipe that is approximately 60 feet long.
The NCDOT proposes to replace the pipe with a 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe
with a headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project
include 90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream during the construction
of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags or Class B or
Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel approximately 10 feet
upstream of the proposed pipe inlet (Figure 2). To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream. The stream will be dewatered less
than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these surface waters. Temporary
impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 0.01 ac of stream
bed and 150 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric
will be removed after construction.
Permit Issues
The construction of the project is authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWT) 14, linear transportation crossings. Notification for the use of this NWP to
the USACE is not required for this project, as the discharge associated with the project is
less than 0.10 acre and there are no impacts to special aquatic sites (including wetlands).
Accordingly, notification to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3289 is not required for this project.
NCDOT will comply with all conditions associated with this NWP and WQC.
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a Section 404 NWP 33
to dewater the stream during project construction. The 401 WQC No. 3114 (which
corresponds to NWP 33) does not require written concurrence from the NCDWQ as
NCDOT intends to comply with conditions for the WQC.

i
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project at Site 1 results in impacts to the riparian buffer
(Figure 2). Construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 90
linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this
crossing is allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no
practicable alternatives" determination. The NCDOT certifies that the criteria
documented in Sub-Item (8)(a) of the buffer rules (which find that there are no practical
alternatives to the project) are met. The NCDOT requests an Authorization Certificate
for this project. Information supporting that there are no practical alternatives for the
issuance of this certification is summarized below:
• Improvements must be conducted at the site (i.e. raising the grade) to accommodate a
proposed raised pool elevation for the expansion of Lake Michie.
• The proposed upgrade and paving of Wiley Mangum Road is mandated by the
transportation and highway laws of North Carolina. This roadway has a paving
priority of 17 and was scheduled to be paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
• The fill slopes have been reduced to 2:1.
• Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be enforced
during the life of the project.
• The length of the proposed pipe and rip rap have been reduced as much as possible to
allow for only the amount of fill necessary to raise the existing grade at the site. This
design reduces stream and riparian buffer impacts.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade SR 1619 in Durham County. This will involve
replacing the structure that conveys an unnamed perennial tributary to Flat River/Lake
Michie. The proposed structure is 1 @ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe with a
headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project include
90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water. The NCDOT asks
that the dewatering of the stream be authorized under a Section 404 NWP 33. The
NCDOT will adhere to all applicable Section 404 NWPs and Section 401 WQCs
conditions.
Construction of the project results in impacts to the riparian buffer. Riparian
construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 66 linear feet of
riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is
allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no practicable
alternatives" determination and subsequently issue an Authorization Certificate for this
project. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact me at [phone].

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from
SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville Road) in Durham County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville
Road) (Figure 1) in Durham County. SR 1619 is an unpaved roadway that will be
upgraded to a paved roadway. Total project length is 1.67 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G. S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Wiley Mangum Road has a paving priority of 17 and was scheduled to be
paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads Construction Program.
A portion of the roadway falls within the planned expansion of Lake Michie. Mr.
Tom Glenn, City of Durham Director of Environmental Resources, has stated that the
expansion of Lake Michie is noted in the City's water supply plan and planning
documents. It is scheduled to be expanded within the next 10-15 years; however, it could
be required sooner due to increased water needs throughout the area. The City of
Durham has requested that the NCDOT raise the grade on the roadway to an elevation
that would allow it to remain in place once the expansion of Lake Michie is completed.
The proposed roadway grade would be raised as high as elevation of 395 feet in the sag

vertical curve as the maximum flood pool elevation for the expanded lake is elevation of
390 feet. The NCDOT has concluded to pave and upgrade the existing roadway as
well as raise the existing grade at this time. This will reduce the amount of
construction impacts at the site and reduce the amount of in-stream disturbance.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
at Site 1 (66+70-L-) (Figure 2). Here, the project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary
to Flat River/Lake Michie (DWQ Index No. 27-3-(5.5)) which is located in the Neuse
River Basin. This stream has a Best Usage Classification of WS-III NSW CA. The
existing structure is a 66 inch corrugated metal pipe that.is approximately 60 feet long.
The NCDOT proposes to replace the pipe with a 1 @ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe
with a headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project
include 90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream during the construction
of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags or Class B or
Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel approximately 10 feet
upstream of the proposed pipe inlet (Figure 2). To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream The stream will be dewatered less
than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these surface waters. Temporary
impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 0.01 ac of stream
bed and 150 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric
will be removed after construction.
Permit Issues
The construction of the project is authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 14, linear transportation crossings. Notification for the use of this NWP to
the USACE is not required for this project, as the discharge associated with the project is
less than 0.10 acre and there are no impacts to special aquatic sites (including wetlands).
Accordingly, notification to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3289 is not required for this project.
NCDOT will comply with all conditions associated with this NWP and WQC.
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a Section 404 NWP 33
to dewater the stream during project construction. The 401 WQC No. 3114 (which
corresponds to NWP 33) does not require written concurrence from the NCDWQ as
NCDOT intends to comply with conditions for the WQC.
* t
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project at Site 1 results in impacts to the riparian buffer
(Figure 2). Construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 90
linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this
crossing is allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no
practicable alternatives" determination. The NCDOT certifies that the criteria
documented in Sub-Item (8)(a) of the buffer rules (which find that there are no practical
alternatives to the project) are met. The NCDOT requests an Authorization Certificate
for this project. Information supporting that there are no practical alternatives for the
issuance of this certification is summarized below:
• Improvements must be conducted at the site (i.e. raising the grade) to accommodate a
proposed raised pool elevation for the expansion of Lake Michie.
• The proposed upgrade and paving of Wiley Mangum Road is mandated by the
transportation and highway laws of North Carolina. This roadway has a paving
priority of 17 and was scheduled to be paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
• The fill slopes have been reduced to 2:1.
• Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be enforced
during the life of the project.
• The length of the proposed pipe and rip rap have been reduced as much as possible to
allow for only the amount of fill necessary to raise the existing grade at the site. This
design reduces stream and riparian buffer impacts.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade SR 1619 in Durham County. This will involve
replacing the structure that conveys an unnamed perennial tributary to Flat River/Lake
Michie. The proposed structure is 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe with a
headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project include
90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water. The NCDOT asks
that the dewatering of the stream be authorized under a Section 404 NWP 33. The
NCDOT will adhere to all applicable Section 404 NWPs and Section 401 WQCs
conditions.
Construction of the project results in impacts to the riparian buffer. Riparian
construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 66 linear feet of
riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is
allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no practicable
alternatives" determination and subsequently issue an Authorization Certificate for this
project. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact me at [phone].

Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from
SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville Road) in Durham County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville
Road) (Figure 1) in Durham County. SR 1619 is an unpaved roadway that will be
upgraded to a paved roadway. Total project length is 1.67 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G. S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Wiley Mangum Road has a paving priority of 17 and was scheduled to be
paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads Construction Program.
A portion of the roadway falls within the planned expansion of Lake Michie. Mr.
Tom Glenn, City of Durham Director of Environmental Resources, has stated that the
expansion of Lake Michie is noted in the City's water supply plan and planning
documents. It is scheduled to be expanded within the next 10-15 years; however, it could
be required sooner due to increased water needs throughout the area. The City of
Durham has requested that the NCDOT raise the grade on the roadway to an elevation
that would allow it to remain in place once the expansion of Lake Michie is completed.
The proposed roadway grade would be raised as high as elevation of 395 feet in the sag

e
vertical curve as the maximum flood pool elevation for the expanded lake is elevation of
390 feet. The NCDOT has concluded to pave and upgrade the existing roadway as
well as raise the existing grade at this time. This will reduce the amount of
construction impacts at the site and reduce the amount of in-stream disturbance.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
at Site 1 (66+70-L-) (Figure 2). Here, the project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary
to Flat River/Lake Michie (DWQ Index No. 27-3-(5.5)) which is located in the Neuse
River Basin. This stream has a Best Usage Classification of WS-III NSW CA. The
existing structure is a 66 inch corrugated metal pipe that is approximately 60 feet long.
The NCDOT proposes to replace the pipe with a 1 @ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe
with a headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project
include 90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream during the construction
of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags or Class B or
Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel approximately 10 feet
upstream of the proposed pipe inlet (Figure 2). To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream The stream will be dewatered less
than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these surface waters. Temporary
impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 0.01 ac of stream
bed and 150 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric
will be removed after construction.
Permit Issues
The construction of the project is authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 14, linear transportation crossings. Notification for the use of this NWP to
the USACE is not required for this project, as the discharge associated with the project is
less than 0.10 acre and there are no impacts to special aquatic sites (including wetlands).
Accordingly, notification to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3289 is not required for this project.
NCDOT will comply with all conditions associated with this NWP and WQC.
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a Section 404 NWP 33
to dewater the stream during project construction. The 401 WQC No. 3114 (which
corresponds to NWP 33) does not require written concurrence from the NCDWQ as
NCDOT intends to comply with conditions for the WQC.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project at Site 1 results in impacts to the riparian buffer
(Figure 2). Construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 90
linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this
crossing is allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no
practicable alternatives" determination. The NCDOT certifies that the criteria
documented in Sub-Item (8)(a) of the buffer rules (which find that there are no practical
alternatives to the project) are met. The NCDOT requests an Authorization Certificate
for this project. Information supporting that there are no practical alternatives for the
issuance of this certification is summarized below:
• Improvements must be conducted at the site (i.e. raising the grade) to accommodate a
proposed raised pool elevation for the expansion of Lake Michie.
• The proposed upgrade and paving of Wiley Mangum Road is mandated by the
transportation and highway laws of North Carolina. This roadway has a paving
priority of 17 and was scheduled to be paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
• The fill slopes have been reduced to 2:1.
• Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be enforced
during the life of the project.
• The length of the proposed pipe and rip rap have been reduced as much as possible to
allow for only the amount of fill necessary to raise the existing grade at the site. This
design reduces stream and riparian buffer impacts.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade SR 1619 in Durham County. This will involve
replacing the structure that conveys an unnamed perennial tributary to Flat River/Lake
Michie. The proposed structure is 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe with a
headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project include
90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface, water. The NCDOT asks
that the dewatering of the stream be authorized under a Section 404 NWP 33. The
NCDOT will adhere to all applicable Section 404 NWPs and Section 401 WQCs
conditions.
Construction of the project results in impacts to the riparian buffer. Riparian
construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 66 linear feet of
riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is
allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no practicable
alternatives" determination and subsequently issue an Authorization Certificate for this
project. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
MICHAEL F. EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETr
GovERNOR SECRETARY
February 7, 2001
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Raleigh Regulatory Field Office
6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120
Raleigh, NC 27609
Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from
SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville Road) in Durham County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville
Road) (Figure 1) in Durham County. SR 1619 is an unpaved roadway that will be
upgraded to a paved roadway. Total project length is 1.67 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (GS. 136-44.6,136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Wiley Mangum Road has a paving priority of 17 and was scheduled to be
paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads Construction Program.
A portion of the roadway falls within the planned expansion of Lake Michie. Mr.
Tom Glenn, City of Durham Director of Environmental Resources, has stated that the
expansion of Lake Michie is noted in the City's water supply plan and planning
documents. It is scheduled to be expanded within the next 10-15 years; however, it could
be required sooner due to increased water needs throughout the area. The City of
Durham has requested that the NCDOT raise the grade on the roadway to an elevation
that would allow it to remain in place once the expansion of Lake Michie is completed.
The proposed roadway grade would be raised as high as elevation of 395 feet in the sag
Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704

vertical curve as the maxim flood poo elevation for the expanded lake is elevation of 1
390 feet. The NCDOT has concluded to pave and upgrade the existing roadway as
well as raise the existing grade at this time. This will reduce the amount of
construction impacts at the site and reduce the amount of in-stream disturbance.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
at Site 1 (66+70-L-) (Figure 2). Here, the project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary
to Flat River/Lake Michie (DWQ Index No. 27-3-(5.5)) which is located in the Neuse
River Basin. This stream has a Best Usage Classification of WS-III NSW CA. The
existing structure is a 66 inch corrugated metal pipe that is approximately 60 feet long.
The NCDOT proposes to replace the pipe with a 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe
with a headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project
include 90 feet existing` channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream during the construction
of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags or Class B or
Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel approximately 10 feet
upstream of the proposed pipe inlet (Figure 2). To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream. The stream will be dewatered less
than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these surface waters. Temporary
impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 0.01 ac of stream
bed and 150 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric
will be removed after construction.
Permit Issues
The construction of the project is authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 14, linear transportation crossings. Notification for the use of this NWP to
the USACE is not required for this project, as the discharge associated with the project is
less than 0.10 acre and there are no impacts to special aquatic sites (including wetlands).
Accordingly, notification to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3289 is not required for this project.
NCDOT will comply with all conditions associated with this NWP and WQC.
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a Section 404 NWP 33
to dewater the stream during project construction. The 401 WQC No. 3114 (which
corresponds to NWP 33) does not require written concurrence from the NCDWQ as
NCDOT intends to comply with conditions for the WQC.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project at Site 1 results in impacts to the riparian buffer
(Figure 2). Construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 90
linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this
crossing is allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no
practicable alternatives" determination. The NCDOT certifies that the criteria
documented in Sub-Item (8)(a) of the buffer rules (which find that there are no practical
alternatives to the project) are met. The NCDOT requests an Authorization Certificate
for this project. Information supporting that there are no practical alternatives for the
issuance of this certification is summarized below:
• Improvements must be conducted at the site (i.e. raising the grade) to accommodate a
proposed raised pool elevation for the expansion of Lake Michie.
• The proposed upgrade and paving of Wiley Mangum Road is mandated by the
transportation and highway laws of North Carolina. This roadway has a paving
priority of 17 and was scheduled to be paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
• The fill slopes have been reduced to 2:1.
• Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be enforced
during the life of the project.
• The length of the proposed pipe and rip rap have been reduced as much as possible to
allow for only the amount of fill necessary to raise the existing grade at the site. This
design reduces stream and riparian buffer impacts.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade SR 1619 in Durham County. This will involve
replacing the structure that conveys an unnamed perennial tributary to Flat River/Lake
Michie. The proposed structure is 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe with a
headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project include
90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water. The NCDOT asks
that the dewatering of the stream be authorized under a Section 404 NWP 33. The
NCDOT will adhere to all applicable Section 404 NWPs and Section 401 WQCs
conditions.
Construction of the project results in impacts to the riparian buffer. Riparian
construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 66 linear feet of
riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is
allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no practicable
alternatives" determination and subsequently issue an Authorization Certificate for this
project. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact me at [phone].

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from
SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville Road) in Durham County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 1619 (Wiley Mangum Road) from SR 1615 (Stagville Road) to SR 1615 (Stagville
Road) (Figure 1) in Durham County. SR 1619 is an unpaved roadway that will be
upgraded to a paved roadway. Total project length is 1.67 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G. S. 13644.6, 136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Wiley Mangum Road has a paving priority of 17 and was scheduled to be
paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads Construction Program.
A portion of the roadway falls within the planned expansion of Lake Michie. Mr.
Tom Glenn, City of Durham Director of Environmental Resources, has stated that the
expansion of Lake Michie is noted in the City's water supply plan and planning
documents. It is scheduled to be expanded within the next 10-15 years; however, it could
be required sooner due to increased water needs throughout the area. The City of
Durham has requested that the NCDOT raise the grade on the roadway to an elevation
that would allow it to remain in place once the expansion of Lake. Michie is completed.
The proposed roadway grade would be raised as high as elevation of 395 feet in the sag

vertical curve as the maximum flood pool elevation for the expanded lake is elevation of
390 feet. The NCDOT has concluded to pave and upgrade the existing roadway as
well as raise theexist* de at this time. This will reduce the amount of
cone c s a the site and reduce the amount of in-stream disturbance.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
at Site 1 (66+70-L-) (Figure 2). Here, the project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary
to Flat River/Lake Michie (DWQ Index No. 27-3-(5.5)) which is located in the Neuse
River Basin. This stream has a Best Usage Classification of WS-III NSW CA. The
existing structure is a 66 inch corrugated metal pipe that is approximately 60 feet long.
The NCDOT proposes to replace the pipe with a 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe
with a headwall on both ends that is 120 feet long. Impacts associated with the project
include 90 feet existing channel impacted and 0.01 acre fill in surface water.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream during the construction
of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags or Class B or
Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel approximately 10 feet
upstream of the proposed pipe inlet (Figure 2). To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream. The stream will be dewatered less
than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these surface waters. Temporary
impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 0.01 ac of stream
bed and 150 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric
will be removed after construction.
Permit Issues
The construction of the project is authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP),14, linear transportation crossings. Notification for the use of this NWP to
the USACE is not required for this project, as the discharge associated with the project is
less than 0.10 acre and there are no impacts to special aquatic sites (including wetlands).
Accordingly, notification to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3289 is not required for this project.
NCDOT will comply with all conditions associated with this NWP and',WQC.
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a Section 404 NWP 33
to dewater the stream during project construction. The 401 WQC No. 3114 (which
corresponds to NWP 33) does not require written concurrence from the NCDWQ as
NCDOT intends to comply with conditions for the WQC.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project at Site 1 results in impacts to the riparian buffer
(Figure 2). Construction impacts total 0.15 acre in Zone 1, 0.08 acre in Zone 2 and 90
linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this
crossing is allowable. The NCDOT is requesting that the NCDWQ complete a "no
practicable alternatives" determination. The NCDOT certifies that the criteria
documented in Sub-Item (8)(a) of the buffer rules (which find that there are no practical
alternatives to the project) are met. The NCDOT requests an Authorization Certificate
for this project. Information supporting that there are no practical alternatives for the
issuance of this certification is summarized below:
• Improvements must be conducted at the site (i.e. raising the grade) to accommodate a.
proposed raised pool elevation for the expansion of Lake Michie.
• The proposed upgrade and paving of Wiley Mangum Road is mandated by the
transportation and highway laws of North Carolina. This roadway has a paving
priority of 17 and was scheduled to be paved in the 1999-2000 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
• The fill slopes have been reduced to 2:1.
• Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be enforced
during the life of the project.
• The length of the proposed pipe and rip rap have been reduced as much as possible to
allow for only the amount of fill necessary to raise the existing grade at the site. This
design reduces stream and riparian buffer impacts.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade SR 1619 in Durham County. This will involve
replacing the structure that conveys an unnamed perennial tributary to Flat River/Lake
Michie. The proposed structure is 1@ 120 inch corrugated aluminum pipe with a
