DWQ Project No. 020852
SR 1307 (All Healing Springs Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions: MODIFICATION
Ms. Trish Simon, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 12
P.O. Box 47
Shelby, NC 28151
Dear Ms. Simon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur an
additional impact of 20 linear feet to Poplar Creek, in addition to the previous impacts of. 0.007 acres of
wetlands, 89 linear feet of rip-rap placed, and 184 linear feet of fill in unnamed tributaries to the Lower
Little River in order to upgrade SR 1307 (All Healing Springs Road) in Alexander County. The project
should be constructed in accordance with your new application dated August 19, 2002 (received August
22, 2002). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Nos. 3366 and 3375 corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Nationwide Permit Numbers 33 and 14. 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 only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to
send us 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 conditions. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if stream impacts exceed 150 linear
feet, compensatory mitigation may be 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.
1. Where practicable, storm watdr should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and must not be
routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that
they may be utilized for storm water sheet flow.
2. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
3. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained
to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials.
4. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.
5. NCDOT is encouraged to use existing on-site vegetation and materials for stream bank stabilization
and to minimize the use of rip rap.
6. The pipes required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 401 Wetlands Certification Unit,

919-733-1786 (phone), 919-733-6893 (fax), http://h2o.enr.Stdte.nc.us/ncwetiands/
Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below
locations of each culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to allow for fish and other
wildlife movement as well as prevent headcutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are
perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and installed correctly.
7. NCDOT must submit a plan for written DWQ approval to address any headcutting that will occur as a
result of this project.
8. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted when
practical. If rip-rap is necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark,
and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water. Rip rap shall not be placed in the
stream bottom.
9. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock,
sand or other materials be dredged from.the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit,
except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts.
10. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ 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 NC 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Ms. Cynthia Van Der Wiele at 919.733.5715 or Mr.
Mike Parker of the Mooresville Regional Office at 704.663.1699.

200230928 & 200230929 (DWQ Project # 020852)
SR 1307, All Healing Springs Road
Alexander County, NC
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
Enclosed is a permit modification request for the PCN application submitted on 5/23/02
for additional fill impacts on SR 1307, All Healing Springs Road in Alexander County,
NC.
The project consists of the grading and paving of SR 1307 with a bridge replacement at
Station 98+50, a pipe replacement at Station 52+50 and 36+50, and fill in 0.007 acres of
wetlands at -15+00.
A reevaluation of the condition of the pipe at Station 13+00 has warranted its
replacement during the secondary road construction project. Due to the widening of the
road up to current paved road standards, minimal additional fill is required. It is
proposed that the existing 50'long, 137' x 8T' CMPA be replaced with a 70' long, 137" x
8T' CMPA with inlet and outlet headwall. The pipe is to be buried one foot below
existing streambed elevations based upon thalweg elevations taken upstream and
downstream of the proposed pipe location. Bedrock is visible in the streambed at this
location; therefore, it may be necessary to blast to allow for burial of the pipe one foot
below streambed elevation. The natural stream dimensions observed upstream and
downstream of the existing pipe will be maintained at the inlet and outlet of the new pipe.

Mr. John Hendrix
Page 2- Permit Modification, SR 1307
August 19, 2002
Ten feet of Class I riprap will be used at the inlet and on the north bank of the outlet for
structure stabilization. Due to the meander of the stream at the proposed pipe outlet
location, approximately 25 feet of riprap will be necessary for structure and bank
stabilization on the south bank. Temporary cofferdams will be used to restrict stream
flow and divert the stream around the work area. Upon project completion, the area
impacted by the cofferdams will be restored to pre-construction conditions.
The stream impacted by the permit modification request is Poplar Creek, which is
classified Class C waters from source to Lambert Fork Creek. Hazardous spill basins
area not required. Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist.
As stated in the original permit application, there are no threatened or endangered species
in the proposed project area.. Enclosed is concurrence from the State Historic
Preservation Office for this road construction project. A copy of the original 401 and 404
authorization for the project is also enclosed.

4. Pond Creation: NO POND CREATION
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this a plication.

Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
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.
Due to the widening necessary to construct the road to current paved road standards, a minimal
increase in pipe lengib (20 feeo is needed for the pipe replacement at Station 13+00. The
increase in pine length was minimized by the proposed construction of inlet and outlet
headwalls which will decrease the slope necessary for proper road constzuctionlniAe installation.
The steed slope on the south bank at the outlet will necessitate additional rinrau use in this area
for bank stabilization Bedrock was observed in the streambed in this area: therefore, it may be
necessary to blast to get the pipe buried one foot below streambed elevation.
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
Page 9 of 12
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httl2://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/stnngide.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. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

XL 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.

Review of an application by North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDO'L), SRI 3107, All Healing Springs Road, Unnamed Tributaric?s
Lower Little River, Alexander County
-N CDOT is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlifo
R-sources Commission (_NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Arm} Corps of
}iLineers to pave the relere:nced road on new and existing alignment to bring the road up
to current safety standards. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the
applicant, and field. biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project
Alrea. These cornments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water
;` cr of 1977 0' U.Sk. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
40i, as arricnded; 16 U.S.C. 661-6674).
At station 36.50, NCDOT proposes to install 120' of 24" CMP on new road
ali_,unent. This pipe will be placed on an 8% grade and installed 5" below thulw b
depth- Nineteen feet ofriprap is proposed for the outlet end in conjunction with a 90
degree hardened bend. Minimal flow is reported for this channel. An existin"-, '6" 7.,,,
C III will be replaced at station 52+50 with a 50' x 84" CMP with inlet and outlet
headwalls. Riprap will be used to provide stability. At station 98-50, Bridoe 270 will be
replaced =.vith a 50' double line of 95"x 67" CMPA. Temporary cofferdams ?•viLl be
t.tiliz ci r--strict flows for wort: on the lamer stream channels.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our information on the
c) trout in the project area, we do not believe this project will cause significant
eilects to waters supporting trout. Therefore, we do not object to the project as proposed.

1. Instream activities should be prohibited during the spawning season of May 1
tluouah July 15 to prevent oft=site sedimentation from in?pactitig fish eggs and fry
downstream of the site.
2. Direct and indirect wetland impacts should be reduced at station 36-50 to the
maximum extent practicable. Restoration of wetland plant species should be
provided (if practicable) by temporary removal and replacement of h_ydric plants
and soils. The upper end of the pipe should be located at an elevation that
prevents permanent draining of the wetland.
3. The use of riprap should be minimized to the extent practicable. The placement
of riprap must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
Naturally occurring materials and plants should be used for site stabilization.
whenever possible.
4. Culverts 44" or larger should be buried approximately 1' into the streanibed.
Except as indicted for the upper end of the pipe in item 2 above, culverts less than
48 inches in diameter should be buried to a depth. equal to or greater than 20%
their size to allow for aquatic life passage. These measurements must be based on
natural thalwc- depths.
?. Double barrel culverts should be installed so that base flows are carried in a
manner that mimics existing stream conditions. Non base flow barrels should
receive only stormwater flows. Noxious or mosquito breeding conditions must
not occur in the stormwater barrels. Stormwater barrels should be reconnected to
floodplain benches to maintain or restore natural stream dimensions to the extent
;practicable.
:?. Bedrock: blasting must be accomplished in the dry to reduce aquatic life injury
and mortality.

Dear Ms. Simon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
0.007 acres of wetlands and place 89 linear feet of rip-rap and 184 linear feet of fill in unnamed tributaries
to Lower Little River in order to upgrade SR 1307 (All Healing Springs Road) in Alexander County. The
project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 23, 2002 (received May 29,
2002). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Nos. 3366 and 3375 corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Nationwide Permit Numbers 33 and 14. 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 only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to
send us 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 conditions. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if stream impacts exceed 150 linear
feet, compensatory mitigation may be 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.
1. Storm water shall be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and not routed directly to streams.
2. All culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the
streambed). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of culvert
extensions. If existing culverts are perched, they shall be removed and replaced and installed
correctly.
3. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
4. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained
to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials.
5. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances shall rock,
sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit,
except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts.
6. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed in order to utilize it for storm water sheet flow.

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14, #33
SR 1307, All Healing Springs Road Alexander County, NC Of
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes the following
project for your issuance of a Section 404 Permit. We believe this project can be accomplished
under NWP # 14, Linear Transportation Crossing and NWP #33, Temporary Construction,
Access and Dewatering. I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a
PCN application for NWP #14 and 433, a sketch of planned activities, and location maps relative
to the secondary road paving project/pipe and bridge replacement project.
The secondary road paving project consists of 14.0 acres of NC DOT right of way and the two
pipe replacement projects and bridge replacement project encompasses <1/2 acre also located
within NCDOT right of way. All Healing Springs Road is currently a partially unpaved gravel
road. NCDOT plans to pave the road from end of pavement at SR 1305 to SR 1310 for a length
of 2.1 miles. It will be graded and paved on new and existing alignment to bring the road up to
current safety standards using bulldozers, pans, backhoes, rollers, and pavers. Appropriate erosion
and sedimentation control measures will be installed and the project area will be stabilized upon
completion.
At around Station 15+00, the widening of the SR 1307 necessitates the fill in a small (0.007
acres spring fed seep located
adjacent to the existing road At Station 36+50, DOT also proposes
to install a 120-foot, 24" CMP on new road alignment. The jurisdictional stream originates
immediately upstream ofthis new pipe below the existing road alignment- There is very little
aquatic life in this section of the stream and the topography of the area requires the pipe to be
installed on approximately an 8% grade; however, the new pipe will be installed 5" below
streambed elevation based upon thalweg elevations taken upstream and downstream of the

proposed pipe location. Existing channel dimensions will be maintained. Ten feet of Class B
riprap will be used at the inlet and outlet of the pipe for structure stabilization. An additional - 19
feet of riprap is proposed at the outlet for bank stabilization at a 90° bend in the stream channel
located directly downstream of the pipe. There is minimal flow in this stream channel. It is
anticipated that the pipe can be installed within 8 hours "in the dry".
In conjunction with the road paving project, the NCDOT Bridge Department proposes to replace
an existing 36-foot long, 72" CMP at Station 52+50 with a 50-foot long, 84" CMP with inlet and
outlet concrete headwall. It is proposed that 10 feet of riprap will be placed on the stream bank
at the inlet and outlet and five-foot riprap aprons will be placed in the stream channel extending
from the pipe to provide structure stabilization and protection. The stream at Station 52+50 is
approximately 5 feet wide. Upon installation of the new seven-foot pipe, the dimensions at the
inlet and outlet will be structured to mimic the existing upstream channel dimensions.
Additionally, at Station 98+50, Bridge #270 will be replaced with a 50-foot double line of 95" X
67" CMPA with inlet concrete headwall. It is proposed that 10 feet of riprap will be placed on the
inlet stream bank, thirty feet of riprap on the outlet stream,bank, and five-foot riprap aprons
extending from the pipe inlet and outlet will be placed in the stream channel to provide structure
stabilization and protection. The stream at St. 98+50 is approximately 10 feet wide.
Immediately downstream of the existing bridge, the stream has been impounded by the adjacent
property owner to form a pond for a recreational water park. Existing upstream dimensions will
be maintained at the inlet and outlet of by the construction of floodplain benches. The pipes at St.
52+50 and St. 98+50 will be placed one foot below the existing streambed elevations based on
thalweg elevations taken at the both pipes' inlet and outlet. Temporary cofferdams will be used
at St. 52+50 and St. 98+50 to restrict stream flow and a temporary diversion pipe/channel will be
used to divert the stream around the work site during construction. These temporary impacts will
be contained with the permanent riprap impacts. Upon project completion, the area impacted by
the-temporary cofferdams will be restored to pre-construction conditions.
The streams impacted by the proposed projects are three unnamed tributaries to the Lower Little
River, which are classified Class C waters from source to Stirewalt Creek and is located in the
Catawba River Basin. The stream is not located within %2 mile of the critical watershed area nor
is the road functionally classified a rural or urban arterial; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not
required. Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist for this project.
A review of the Natural Heritage information for the threatened species (T/SA- threatened due to
similarity of appearance listed for Alexander County, the bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii) was
conducted. There are no known sites in the vicinity of the proposed project. I have conducted a
survey for the bog turtle and potential habitat in the project area on May 2, 2002. None were
observed. No effect on this species is anticipated.
A review of the project site was conducted for properties eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places. It was determined that there were no National Register or Study-Listed
properties located within the secondary road project's area of potential effects. Enclosed is
concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Office for this project.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The curvature of the existing roadway necessitates changes in the road alignment to construct the
road to meet current safety standards. At Station 52+50, there is a minimal widening of
roadway, therefore, there is only a minimal increase in pipe len tg_h-
NCDOT plans to replace BR#270 with 50' double line of 95" x 67" CWA due to the lower
cost C-.:45,000) associated with this option. Estimate to replace the bridge with a concrete arch is
$95,000. There is bedrock in the area therefore. it may be necessa to blast to get inverts 12"
below streambed. The stream will be pumped around the pipe replacement and a diversion
pipetchannel will be utilized at the bridge replacement.

VIIL 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/ncwetlands/strin,tzide-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 (acreagellinear 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.
IMPACTS < 150 FEET, TIIEREFORE MITIGATION NOT ANTICIPATED.
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 hl!p://11-?o.enr.state.nc.us/-"7rp/index.litm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

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: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] 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.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

XL Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
SR 1307 is a 2.1 mile 18-foot unpaved road that will be paved to a 20-foot width with sections of
new alignment (new alignment footage = 1.9 miles). These areas of new alignment and
widening of the road constitute a minimal increase in impervious surface approximately a 1 1
Appropriate erosion and sedimentation control measures will be in place during construction
XH. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.

TEMPORARY DIVERSION:
- TD -«-
A temporary diversion is an excavated channel with a berm on the lower side
(much like a temporary silt ditch) used to divert sediment laden flow from running
off-site and direct it into erosion control devices. They shall be incorporated at the
clearing and grubbing phase to temporarily control flow patterns until the final
drainage ways can be installed. They may be used in coordination with other
erosion and sedimentation devices at drainage outlets to trap sediment.
AREAS OF USE:
• Across unprotected slopes.
• Below slopes to divert excess runoff to sediment control measures.
• At or near perimeter of construction area to keep sediment from leaving
site.

TEMPORARY ROCK SILT CHECK TYPE-B:
)0-
A temporary rock silt check type-B (also called check dam) is a small dam with a
weir used to reduce gullying in drainage ditches that are to be filled or
permanently stabilized at a later date. These type-B rock silt checks help reduce
the flow velocity and are generally made of class-B stone. They are used in ditches
during construction where the grade meets and/or exceeds 3%.
AREAS OF USE:
• In channels, roadside ditch outlets, temporary silt ditches, and temporary
diversions.
• In conjunction with type-B silt basins.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Center of rock silt check shall be at least 1 foot lower than the outer edges
(top of channel sides)
• The spacing (ft.) = (3 / % of ditch grade) X 100 ft.

A temporary rock sediment dam type -
B is a small dam structure with a weir outlet
and a built-in sediment basin. Type-B temporary rock sediment dams shall be used
in drainage ditches to detain sediment-laden runoff and to trap sediment to protect
receiving streams and adjacent property. The type-B temporary rock sediment
dams utilize class-B stone lined with #5 or #57 stone in conjunction with a built in
basin to trap sediment. They shall not be used in live streams.
AREAS OF USE:
• At outlets of temporary diversions, temporary silt ditches, channels, and
temporary slope drains.
• In locations where the dam can be cleaned and maintained on a regular
basis.
• In locations where runoff is exiting the construction site.
• In small natural drainage turnouts.

o ?
A rock pipe inlet protection is a horseshoe shaped structure with a built-in
sediment storage area around the outside perimeter of the structure. The rock pipe
inlet protection shall be used at pipe inlets no larger than 24 inches in diameter
where it is receiving flow from several directions. The rock pipe inlet protection
utilizes class-B stone lined with #5 or #57 stone to protect drainage pipe structures
by trapping sediment before it enters. They have a sediment storage pit which is
designed by the same procedures as a silt basin. This device can also be used
around the inlet of temporary slope drains where space is limited at the outlet end
of the slope drain such that a basin or other device can not be used.
AREAS OF USE:
• At inlets to pipes no larger than 24 inches in diameter where it receives flow
from several directions.
• In areas where it can be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Structural stone - class-B stone
• Sediment control stone - #5 or #57 stone
• Sediment storage area- 1800 cubic ft./acre
• Dam height 3 ft. minimum
