PO Box 1587
Greenville, NC 27835
Dear Mr. Lassiter:
You have our approval, as described in your application dated August 29, 2001, and in accordance with the
attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 32 linear feet of streams, for the purpose
of replacing bridge number 157 over an unnamed tributary to the Neuse River in Lenoir County. The
project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated 25 May 1999 (received 21 June
1999). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3289. This certification corresponds to the General Permit 198200031 issued by the
Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .033). 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 when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General 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). ). This approval shall
expire with the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General
Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Stormwater shall be directed to sheetflow at nonerosive velocities through the protected stream buffers.
2. 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.

Dear Mr. Bell:
SUB.I1?CT: I_,enoir County, Replacement of'Bridge No. 157 over unnamed tributary to
the Neese River.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is planning to replace bridge No. 157
in Lenoir County. Bridge No. 157 is located on SR 1804 approximately 2.5 miles
northeast of US 70 and is a tributary to the Neese River in the Neese River Basin. The
deteriorated condition of the Bridge necessitates replacement.
Bridge No. 157 is a Concrete bridge built in 1961. The NCDOT proposes to replace the
bridge at the existing location with 2 - 120" x 49.5' corrugated aluminum pipes with
headwalls. All construction will be contained within the existing roadway section. No
wetlands will be impacted by this pro,jcct. Approximately 0.03 acres ol'surface waters
will be impacted by the placement of the proposed culvert. Construction will begin as
soon as all permits are received and will last approximately three weeks.
Please find attached the permit drawings and adjacent property owners for the proposed
work. The NCDOT requests that this project be authorized by a Regional General Permit
No. 31.

VI11. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1 .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.
USAC'E - 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 opc11 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 rniti?.:ation plan must be attached in order
for USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lackino a required i-nitigation 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

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 il? payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at lit(i)://Ii2o_en,-.state.nc.Lls/wrp/index.litm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information: 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: II' you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at (919) 7331-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
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.

identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0242 or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acl'ea«e (both existin?-1 and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
When adeauate upland is present in the existing R/W new side ditches from the Proiect will
contain and transport stormwater toward wetlands or streams however the stormwater
will flow through a silt basin and over vegetated uplands prior to entering wetlands or the
stream bufffer area. A detail map is enclosed. When no upland exists to construct side
ditches stormwater will sheet flow over the vegetated road shoulder and into wetlands.
