APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Murray:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.01 acres of wetlands and
25 linear feet of streams to UT Little Creek in order to develop a road crossing at SR 2349 and Temple-Johnston
Road in Wake County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on April 2. After
reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Numbers 3289 and 3114. These Certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 33 when
they are issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404
permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one
acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be
valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
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 which
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.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646.

Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 2346 (Temple-Johnson Road) from
NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wake County. NCDOT Work
Order No. 6.402132T.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 2346 (Temple-Johnson Road) from NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wake
County. SR 2346 is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway.
Total project length is 0.95 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6.. 136-44.7,
rri -X--
136-44.7A, 136-44.8 and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work C7
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes I--- r-ri
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved r-rl
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. SR 2346 is scheduled to be paved in the 2000-2001 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
in the Neuse River Basin. Wetland delineations were conducted using the field
delineation method outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987). There are a total of three jurisdictional sites in the
project study area. Site 1 contains impacts to a stream (Figure 2) that will be affected by
Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704
Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]
the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 2 contains impacts to a stream
(Figure 3) .that will be affected by the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 3
contains impacts to a wetland (Figure 3) that will be impacted by placement of fill. U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Data Forms and a North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) Wetland Rating Form are attached to this application.
Site 1 49+54-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is a 24-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 45 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 52 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and seven linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 2 (60+10-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed intermittent tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is an 36-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 42 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 60 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and 18 linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 3 (65+11-Rt- to 65+48-Rt-)
Construction at this site will impact a palustrine, forested broad-leaved deciduous
wetland (PFO1C). The site has a DWQ wetland rating of 23. Permanent impacts to the
wetland include <0.01 acre fill in wetlands.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands and surface waters not affected by the project will be
protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or
storage of construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters. A
palustrine emergent non-persistent wetland (PEM213) is located within the proposed
right-of-way limits at 48+32-Lt to 49+25-Lt. In an effort to avoid impacts to this
wetland, the NCDOT will reduce the construction limits in this area.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best
Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced
during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces
and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
As noted above, the construction limits will be minimized at 48+32-Lt to 49+25-Lt. This
will result in minimization of impacts to the unnamed perennial tributary to Little Creek
and the associated riparian buffer.
Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in only minimal
impacts to waters of the United States. Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible during the design process. Due to minimal impacts,
compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts will not be provided for this
project.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream at Site 1 and Site 2
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 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).
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
streams will be dewatered less than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these
surface waters. Temporary impacts to the streams from this activity will result in the
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet stream channel at Site 2. The
sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric will be removed after construction.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project involves a road crossing of streams that are subject
to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Construction impacts at Site 1 and Site 2 are less than
40 linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at these sites,
the crossings are exeolpt.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 2346 in Wake County. Permanent
impacts associated with the project include <0.01 ac fill in surface water and seven linear
feet existing channel impacted at Site 1, <0.01 ac fill in surface water and 18 linear feet
existing channel impacted at Site 2 and <0.01 acre fill in wetlands at Site 3. Temporary
impacts to the streams from dewatering activity will involve <0.01 ac of stream bed and
72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet
stream channel at Site 2.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 for Sites 1, NWP 14 and NWP 33 at Site 2
and NWP 14 at Site 3 as required for the above-described activities. Additionally,
application is hereby made for a DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
No. 3289. WQC No. 3114, which corresponds with NWP 33, does not require written
concurrence from the DWQ. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP and
WQC conditions. In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAA we have
enclosed a check for $200.00 to act as payment for processing the Section 401 permit
application. 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 2346 (Temple-Johnson Road) from
NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wake County. NCDOT Work
Order No. 6.402132T.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 2346 (Temple-Johnson Road) from NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wak
County. SR 2346 is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway.
Total project length is 095 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 unp ved
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. SR 2346 is scheduled to be paved in the 2000-2001 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
in the Neuse River Basin. Wetland delineations were conducted using the field
delineation method outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987). There are a total of three jurisdictional sites in the
project study area. Site 1 contains impacts to a stream (Figure 2) that will be affected by
r'TI r

the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 2 contains impacts to a stream
(Figure 3) that will be affected by the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 3
contain"ni??& to a wetland (Figure 3) that will be impacted by placement of fill. U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Data Forms and a North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) Wetland Rating Form are attached to this application.
Site 1 49+54-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is a 24-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 45 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 52 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and seven linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 2 (60+10-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed intermittent tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is an 36-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 42 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 60 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and 18 linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 3 (65+11-Rt- to 65+48-Rt-)
Construction at this site will impact a palustrine, forested broad-leaved deciduous
wetland (PFO1C). The site has a DWQ wetland rating of 23. Permanent impacts to the
wetland include <0.01 acre fill in wetlands.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands and surface waters not affected by the project will be
protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or
storage of construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters. A
palustrine emergent non-persistent wetland (PEM213) is located within the proposed
right-of-way limits at 48+32-Lt to 49+25-Lt. In an effort to avoid impacts to this
wetland, the NCDOT will reduce the construction limits in this area.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best
Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced
during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces
and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
As noted above, the construction limits will be minimized at 48+32-Lt to 49+25-Lt. This
will result in minimization of impacts to the unnamed perennial tributary to Little Creek
and the associated riparian buffer.
Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in only minimal
impacts to waters of the United States. Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible during the design process. Due to minimal impacts,
compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts will not be provided for this
project.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream at Site 1 and Site 2
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 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).
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
streams will be dewatered less than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these
surface waters. Temporary impacts to the streams from this activity will result in the
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet stream channel at Site 2. The
sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric will be removed after construction.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project involves a road crossing of streams that are subject
to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Construction impacts at Site 1 and Site 2 are less than
40 linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at these sites,
he crossings are exempt.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 2346 in Wake County. Permanent
impacts associated with the project include <0.01 ac fill in surface water and seven linear
feet existing channel impacted at Site 1, <0.01 ac fill in surface water and 18 linear feet
existing channel impacted at Site 2 and <0.01 acre fill in wetlands at Site 3. Temporary
impacts to the streams from dewatering activity will involve <0.01 ac of stream bed and
72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet
stream channel at Site 2.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 for Sites 1, NWP 14 and NWP 33 at Site 2
and NWP 14 at Site 3 as required for the above-described activities. Additionally,
application is hereby made for a DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
No. 3289. WQC No. 3114, which corresponds with NWP 33, does not require written
concurrence from the DWQ. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP and
WQC conditions. In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAA we have
enclosed a check for $200.00 to act as payment for processing the Section 401 permit
application. 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 2346 (Temple-Johnson Road) from
NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wake County. NCDOT Work
Order No. 6.402132T.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 2346 (Temple-Johnson Road) from NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wake
County. SR 2346 is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway.
Total project length is 0.95 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. SR 2346 is scheduled to be paved in the 2000-2001 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
in the Neuse River Basin. Wetland delineations were conducted using the field
delineation method outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987). There are a total of three jurisdictional sites in the
project study area. Site 1 contains impacts to a stream (Figure 2) that will be affected by

the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 2 contains impacts to a stream
(Figure 3) that will be affected by the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 3
coniai ms impacts to a wetland (Figure 3) that will be impacted by placement of fill. U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Wetland Data Forms and a North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) Wetland Rating Form are attached to this application.
Site 1 (49+54-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is a 24-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 45 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 52 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and seven linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 2 (60+10-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed intermittent tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is an 36-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 42 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 60 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and 18 linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 3 (65+11-Rt- to 65+48-Rt-)
Construction at this site will impact a palustrine, forested broad-leaved deciduous
l (PFO1C). The site has a DWQ wetland rating of 23. Permanent impacts to the
l include <0.01 acre fill in wetlands.
ters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands and surface waters not affected by the project will be
ed from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or
of construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters. A
ne emergent non-persistent wetland (PEM213) is located within the proposed
=way limits at 48+32-Lt to 49+25-Lt. In an effort to avoid impacts to this
the NCDOT will reduce the construction limits in this area.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best
Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced
during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces
and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
As noted above, the construction limits will be minimized at 48+32-Lt to 49+25-Lt. This
will result in minimization of impacts to the unnamed perennial tributary to Little Creek
and the associated riparian buffer.
a
Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in only minimal
impacts to waters of the United States. Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible during the design process. Due to minimal impacts,
compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts will not be provided for this
project.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream at Site 1 and Site 2
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 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).
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
streams will be dewatered less than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these
surface waters. Temporary impacts to the streams from this activity will result in the
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet stream channel at Site 2. The
sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric will be removed after construction.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project involves a road crossing of streams that are subject
to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Construction impacts at Site 1 and Site 2 are less than
40 linear feet of ?,iparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at these sites,
the crossings are xenipt.
Summary
NCDOT roposes to upgrade and pave SR 2346 in Wake County. Permanent
impacts associated with the project include <0.01 ac fill in surface water and seven linear
feet existing channel impacted at Site 1, <0.01 ac fill in surface water and 18 linear feet
existing channel impacted at Site 2 and <0.01 acre fill in wetlands at Site 3. Temporary
impacts to the streams from dewatering activity will involve <0.01 ac of stream bed and
72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet
stream channel at Site 2.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 for Sites 1, NWP 14 and NWP 33 at Site 2
and NWP 14 at Site 3 as required for the above-described activities. Additionally,
application is hereby made for a DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
No. 3289. WQC No. 3114, which corresponds with NWP 33, does not require written
concurrence from the DWQ. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP and
WQC conditions. In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAA we have
AL
enclosed a check for $200.00 to act as payment for processing the Section 401 permit
application. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any

Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 2346 (Temple-Johnson Road) from
NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wake County. NCDOT Work
Order No. 6.402132T.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
SR 2346 (Temple-J'Inson Road) from NC 96 to SR 2345 (Chamblee Road) in Wake
County. SR 2346 is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway.
Total project length i? 0.95 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. SR 2346 is scheduled to be paved in the 2000-2001 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
in the Neuse River Basin. Wetland delineations were conducted using the field
delineation method outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987). There are a total of three jurisdictional sites in the
project study area. Site 1 contains impacts to a stream (Figure 2) that will be affected by

the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 2 contains impacts to a stream
(Figure 3) that will be affected by the replacement of a pipe at the stream crossing. Site 3
contains impacts to a wetland (Figure 3) that will be impacted by placement of fill. U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Data Forms and a North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) Wetland Rating Form are attached to this application.
Site 1 (49+54-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is a 24-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 45 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 52 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and seven linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 2 (60+10-L-)
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed intermittent tributary to Little
Creek (DWQ Index No. 27-86-2-4). The existing structure is an 36-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 42 feet long. The replacement pipe is a 36-inch reinforced concrete
pipe that is 60 feet long. Permanent impacts to the stream include <0.01 acre fill in
surface water and 18 linear feet existing channel impacted.
Site 3 (65+11-Rt- to 65+48-Rt-)
Construction at this site will impact a palustrine, forested broad-leaved deciduous
wetland (PFO1C). The site`has a DWQ wetland rating of 23. Permanent impacts to the
wetland include <0.01 acre fill in wetlands.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetl
protected from unnecessary
storage of construction supf
palustrine emergent non-pei
right-of-way limits at 48+3:
wetland, the NCDOT will n
and surface waters not affected by the project will be
roachment. No staging of construction equipment or
will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters. A
;nt wetland (PEM213) is located within the proposed
to 49+25-Lt. In an effort to avoid impacts to this
e the construction limits in this area.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best
Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced
during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces
and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
As noted above, the construction limits will be minimized at 48+32-Lt to 49+25-Lt. This
will result in minimization of impacts to the unnamed perennial tributary to Little Creek
and the associated riparian buffer.

Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in only minimal
impacts to waters of the United States. Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible during the design process. Due to minimal impacts,
compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts will not be provided for this
project.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream at Site 1 and Site 2
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 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).
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
streams will be dewatered less than a day. This will result in temporary impacts to these
surface waters. Temporary impacts to the streams from this activity will result in the
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet stream channel at Site 2. The
sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric will be removed after construction.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project involves a road crossing of streams that are subject
to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Const ction impacts at Site 1 and Site 2 are less than
40 linear feet of riparian buffer. Based o.nlhe impacts to the riparian buffer at these sites,
the crossings are exempt.
Summary I
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 2346 in Wake County. Permanent
impacts associated with the project include <0.01 ac fill in surface water and seven linear
feet existing channel impacted at Site 1, <d.01 ac fill in surface water and 18 linear feet
existing channel impacted at Site 2 and <0,01 acre fill in wetlands at Site 3. Temporary
impacts to the streams from dewatering activity will involve <0.01 ac of stream bed and
72 linear feet stream channel at Site 1 and <0.01 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet
stream channel at Site 2.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 for Sites 1, NWP 14 and NWP 33 at Site 2
and NWP 14 at Site 3 as required for the above-described activities. Additionally,
application is hereby made for a DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
No. 3289. WQC No. 3114, which corresponds with NWP 33, does not require written
concurrence from the DWQ. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP and
WQC conditions. In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAA we have
4
enclosed a check for $200.00 to act as payment for processing the Section 401 permit
application. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any
