Dear Mr. Smith:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently impact 60
linear feet and temporarily impact 20 linear feet of Beaver Island Creek for the purpose of Bridge No. 142 with two lines
of 60-foot 142" x 91" corrugated metal pipe arch with headwall in Rockingham County. The project should be
constructed in accordance with your application dated 15 May 2001. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that this project is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This certification corresponds to
Nationwide Permit 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. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed
in the attached 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 the proposed fill is in excess of 150 linear feet of stream length or 1 acre of wetlands, compensatory mitigation will
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below:
• The pipe arches must be installed such that the stream's existing bankfull flow will be maintained through one arch;
the additional arch will be allowed to only receive flows exceeding bankfull.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center,

Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
LYNDO TIPPETT
SECRETARY
SUBJECT: Rockingham County, Replacement of Bridge # 142 on Case School Road (SR 1324)
across an unnamed tributary to Beaver Island Creek.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace the existing
1@17'8, 1@17'9 timber deck bridge identified as Bridge # 142 with two (2? lines of 60-feet long
142" X 91" Corrugated Metal Pipe Arch with headwall. The existing bridge must be replaced due to
structural deficiencies. No e erally protected terrestrial species or their habitats were identified
during a site visit made by Len Smith, Tim Savidge, and Shannon Simpson of the NCDOT on May 1;
2001. No Wetlands, High Quality Waters, or Outstanding Resource Waters occur in the project
area. The project will result in the permanent placement of fill in 60-linear feet of channel.
The NCDOT anticipates that the bridge replacement activity will be authorized under Nationwide
Permit 14 and the dewatering operation will be authorized under NWP 33. This application is
intended as a request for formal written authorization from the USACE to dewater the stream under
NWP'33. This application is also intended as request for written authorization from the NC Division
of Water Quality to replace the bridge under General Water Quality Certificate # 3289 (NWP 14).
Construction is anticipated to begin as soon as practicable following authorization and take three
weeks to complete.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Len Smith or Dennis
Johnson at [phone]. Thank you for your time and assistance.

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
ht*p //u-,vw saul.usace.armmil/wetlar?ds/Perm_apu.htril.
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 talc ://ww,,v saw usace arlT'y rn'U 'etiandslreatour.htfn, 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.sta'Le.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 [phone].
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 I1
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 [phone]. 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 US ACE 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://Vp,,Nvr sal7,T usace am mil/wetland /nwpfinalFedReg.yd£
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.ne.us/ncwetlarids/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.

Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The structurally deficient bridge must be replaced to ensure safety. Impacts will be
minimized by burying the pipe 1-foot below streambed elevation to facilitate aquatic life
movement Pipe length and shoulder width requirements are being reduced using a headwall. A
CMP Arch is being used at this location due to cost constraints. The estimated cost of the CMP
Page 7 of 1 I
Arch is a roximatel $35 35,000 dollars. A Con-span or Aluminum Box Culvert would cost
a roximatel $95.000.
VIII. 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
htt :Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmaid htnt
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.
No mitigation will be required because the impacts are less than 150 linear feet. Impacts
are being minimized b burial of the structure 1-foot below streambed elevation to facilitate
aquatic life movement Pipe length and shoulder width requirements are being reduced by
using a headwall.
Page 8 of 11
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 htti):2o.ennstate.nc.us/wrpLhide,,,h n. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
