APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. W.F. Rosser, Division Engineer
NCDOT, Division 8
PO Box 1067
Aberdeen, NC 28315
Dear Mr. Rosser:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 0.21 acres of wetlands and 120 linear feet of streams for the purpose of culvert replacement on
SR 1299 in Moore County. The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated
August 28, 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.

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
htW://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrnL,ide.html.
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.

RESOURCE STATUS
A Wetland Delineation / Natural Resource Inventory was conducted within the Right-of-
Way of SR 1299 in Moore County, North Carolina. NCDOT has obtained the Right-of-
-Way necessary to improve SR 1299 to Paved Road Status. In doing so, NCDOT must
install adequate drainage pipes, grade the roadway to provide a 20foot cartway with eight
foot shoulders, provide positive drainage and pave.
SR 1299 crosses a double drainage channel. The main channel is a straight ditch that was
excavated to convey a meandering stream through a wet hardwood forest. Jurisdictional
wetlands were identified along the channels.
In the course of completing the wetland determination, only that area required to improve
SR 1299 was sampled. Additionally, the Moore County Soil Survey was not available at
the time of the wetland delineation. Though the soil survey would have been a helpful
tool in the process.
Sampling points WET-1 and WET-2 are located along the southern side of SR 1299.
Wetlands were identified along the southern side of the road. The wetlands were flagged
from the toe of the side channel sidecast to the approximate toe of slope for the road
improvement. Gleyed soils were identified within the soil pits. 5BG 511 was the
dominant matrix color. Vegetation consisted of a shrub and herbaceous layer. A timber
operation had removed the majority of the tree canopy. Elderberry , tuliptree, red maple
and swamp white oak were dominant shrub species, while poison ivy and woolgrass were
noted for the herbaceous. Hydrology indicators were utilized to confirm the presence of
wetland hydrology; soil saturation, oxidized root channels'and water stained leaves were
observed. The swath of wetlands extended from on the slope down to approximately 25
feet from the excavated channel. Within that area, material has been placed by the
excavation of the channel and side ditch from the NCDOT Right-of-Way.
Sampling point WET -3) is located along the northern side of SR 1299. This side features
a realistic view of what the area was like prior to the timber operation. Swamp white
oak, tulip poplar and sweetgum are dominant species. Wetland hydrology indicators
were noted; saturated soils, sediment deposits, oxidized root channels and water stained
leaves. Though the soils survey was not available, the soil had a color of 10YR 511 with
mottles. Wetland flagging was placed along the wet/up boundary for location by
NCDOT survey crews. S o -r H i

REGULATORY APPROVALS
Prior to working within any area identified as a jurisdictional wetland, a U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit #14 must be obtained. In addition, NCDEHR
DWQ 401 Water Quality Certification #3289 must be obtained prior to the
commencement of work.
