Stevens, Director 1 61k1:!WA?0 1 NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES June 15, 2001 Hoke County DWQ Project No. 010756 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification Mr. E.B. Nelson NCDOT, Bridge Maintenance Unit PO Box 289 Siler City, North Carolina 27644 Dear Mr. Nelson: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 100 linear feet of streams, and impact an additional 120 linear feet of streams to dewater the construction site. The purpose of the project is the replace of a 60 inch corrugated metal pipe with a 6 foot by 8 foot reinforced concrete box culvert on SR 1403 in Hoke County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 18, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit Number 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit, unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification. This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification. 1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. 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 that conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing. % I Wetlands/401 Unit 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Telephone 919-733-1786 FAX 733-9959 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post consumer paper State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Michael F.

Also, rip-rap may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. If suitable stream mitigation is not practical on-site, then stream impact will need to be mitigated elsewhere; Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Randleman River Basins requires written concurrence from DWQ in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0233, 15A NCAC 2B .0259 and .0250 and 15A NCAC 2H .0500. New development activities located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not) within the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Randleman River Basins shall be limited to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0233, 15A NCAC 2B .0259 and .0250. All new development shall be located, designed, constructed, and maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent practicable through the use of best management practices. Activities listed as "exempt" from these rules do not need to apply for written concurrence under this Certification; 6. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless it can be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. Additionally, when roadways, causeways or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must be provided to maintain the natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may result in destabilization of streams or wetlands; 7. If this Certification is used to access building sites, all lots owned by the applicant must be buildable without additional fill beyond that allowed under other General Certifications. Deed restrictions must be placed on the remaining wetlands and streams on these lots to restrict future wetland and stream fill. DWQ shall be sent copies of all deed restrictions applied to these lots; 8. That appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" whichever is more appropriate (available from the Division of Land Resources (DLR) in the DENR Regional or Central Offices) shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard; 9. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two months after the Division of Land Resources has released the project; 10. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened; Wetlands/401 Unit 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Telephone 919-733-1786 FAX 733-9959 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post consumer paper State of North Carolina • Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality f Michael F.

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.miI/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/re?-,tour 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 (919) 733-1786. 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). Page 1 of 12 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 (919) 733-2293. 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/nwpfinatFedReL,.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/ncwetlands/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.

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/iicwetlaiids/strmgide.htm1. 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. Page 8 of 12 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at litti)://li2o.ciir.state.iic.us/Avrr)/indcx.litm.

TFRQ ?0? N NA ?O G D ? 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.miI/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/reu-tour.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 tent 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 (919) 733-1786. 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). Page 1 of 12 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 (919) 733-2293. 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/nwpfinalFedReL,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/ncwetlands/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.

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: reducin¢ 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/ncwetlaiids/strm.gide. 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.

Construction of the culvert requires that the stream be diverted during the removal of the existing pipe, and the excavation and construction phases. All necessary steps have been taken to reduce the impact on the stream. To our knowledge there are No High Quality Waters or Outstanding Water Resources occurring in the project area. We anticipate that these activities will be authorized under Nationwide Permits numbers 14 and 33. This letter and a copy of the application materials will be submitted to N.C. Division of Water Quality, State Historical Preservation Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers for approval. If you have any questions or comments, or need additional information, please contact our office at (910) 944-2344. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Art C.
