Reference: NCDOT permit application (January 16, 2002)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to upgrade and
pave SR 2283 (Trenton Road) from SR 2282 to dead end in Durham County.
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States.
Application was made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit
(NWP) 14 and NWP 33 and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)
Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3289 and WQC No. 3114 by permit
application dated January 16, 2002.
An automated payment procedure has recently been implemented between the
NCDOT and NCDWQ. This procedure will enable the Division to apply for the 401
WQC without submitting a check for this permit application. This new procedure will
provide payment to the NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee directly to the
appropriate NCDOT work order.
The NCDOT work order for this project is 6.352084T. Project impacts are less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 linear feet
cumulative impacts to streams, therefore, please note that a fee of $200.00 is reauired for
this project. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me
at [phone].

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 2283 (Trenton Road) from SR 2282
to dead end in Durham County. NCDOT Work Order No. 6.352084T.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
and pave SR 2283 (Trenton Road) from SR 2282 to dead end in Durham County (Figures
l and 2). Total project length is 0.43 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 2283 is scheduled to be paved in the
2001-2002 Secondary Roads Construction Program. Please note that right-of-way has
been acquired for this roadway.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
in the Cape Fear River Basin. Wetland delineations were conducted using the field
delineation method outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987). U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland
Data Forms and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Wetland Rating
Forms are attached to this application.

Site 1
The project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary to New Hope Creek (DWQ
Index No. 16-41-1-(11.5), Best Usage Classification WS-IV NSW) (Figure 3). The
existing structure that conveys the creek is a 36-inch concrete pipe that is 52 feet long.
The NCDOT proposes to conduct the following activities at this site:
• Extend the pipe eight feet on the inlet side of the pipe and place 10 feet of rip rap to
stabilize the banks.
• A blow out is present at the outlet side of the structure (Photograph 1). Additionally,
the stream bank on the south side of the roadbed is perilously close and directly
adjacent t?h the'roadbed, resulting in unsafe driving conditions. The streambank in
this area is also slowly eroding away and degrading the stream (Photograph 2).
Excess sediment (originating from the eroding streambank) and ABC stone
(originating from the gravel roadway) are evident in. the streambed (Photograph 3).
The NCDOT proposes to stabilize the banks of the blow out area with rip rap.
Additionally, the stream area immediately adjacent to the roadway will be filled (and
stabilized with rip rap) and a seven foot long relocated channel will be constructed in
this area. The relocated channel will be lined with rip rap (only along bank slopes to
provide stabilization) and have 2:1 side slopes. This construction will stabilize this
area and will result in minimal disturbance to the stream. These activities will result
in 23 feet existing channel impacted.
• Two emergent-nonpersistent wetland (PEM213) wetlands are located within the
construction limits of the project at this site. Impacts to Wetland A include <0.01
acre fill in wetland. This wetland has a DWQ rating of 23. Impacts to Wetland B
include <0.01 acre fill in wetland. This wetland has a DWQ rating of 23.
Permanent impacts at the site associated with these activities results in 41 feet
exist ine channel impacted <0.01 fill in surface water and <0.01 acre fill in wetlands
Additionally, a seven foot long; relocated channel will be constructed at the site
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the perennial stream at Site 1
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 and immediately downstream
of the proposed stream relocation (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. The stream will be dewatered two
days. This will result in temporary impacts to the surface water. Temporary impacts to
the streams from this activity will result in the dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and
46 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric will be
removed after construction.
U
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.
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.
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.
Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened,
Proposed endangered ad Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7
and Section 9 of the ESA. As of February 27, 2001, there are three federally protected
species listed for Durham County. They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus),
smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) and Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii).
bale eagle--Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Although it is possible that eagles may occasionally fly over the project, the lack
of appropriate habitat for feeding, nesting, roosting and perching, makes it unlikely that
eagles use specific sites at the project. No bald eagle foraging or nesting or other activity
was observed at the project study area during the site visits on August 14, 2001,
December 19, 2001 and January 10, 2002. A review of the NHP rare and unique habitat
database did not reveal the presence of this species within 1.6 km (1.0 mi) of the project
study area. Impacts to bald eagle will not occur from project construction.
smooth coneflower--B io logical Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower is present along the irregularly maintained
roadside shoulder and power line easement. A plant-by-plant survey was conducted
during the site visit on August 14, 2001 by NCDOT Division Environmental Officer
Chris Murray. No populations of smooth coneflower were observed during the site visit.
A review of the NHP rare and unique habitat database did not reveal the presence of this
species within 1.6 km (1.0 mi) of the project study area. Impacts to smooth coneflower
will not occur from project construction.
4
Michaux's sumac--Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is present along the irregularly maintained
roadside shoulder and power line easement. A plant-by-plant survey was conducted
during the site visit on August 14, 2001 by NCDOT Division Environmental Officer
Chris Murray. No populations of Michaux's sumac were observed during the site visit.
A review of the NHP rare and unique habitat database did not reveal the presence of this
species within 1.6 km (1.0 mi) of the project study area. Impacts to Michaux's sumac
will not occur from project construction.
Historical Compliance
Historic compliance work to be scheduled and concurrence with Historic
Preservation Office will be obtained if required.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 2283 in Durham County. Impacts to
waters of the United States from project construction include:
• Extend the pipe eight feet on the inlet side of the pipe and place 10 feet of rip rap to
stabilize the banks.
A blow out is present at the outlet side of the structure. Additionally, the stream bank
on the south side of the roadbed is perilously close and directly adjacent to the
roadbed, resulting in unsafe driving conditions. The streambank in this area is also
slowly eroding away and degrading the stream. Excess sediment (originating from
the streambank) and ABC stone (originating from the gravel roadway) are evident in
the streambed.
The NCDOT proposes to stabilize the banks of the blow out area with rip rap.
Additionally, the stream area immediately adjacent to the roadway will be filled (and
stabilized with rip rap) and a seven foot long relocated channel will be constructed in
this area. The relocated channel will be lined with rip rap (only along bank slopes to
provide stabilization) and have 2:1 side slopes. This construction will stabilize this
area and will result in minimal disturbance to the stream. These activities will result
in 23 feet existing channel impacted.
• Two emergent-nonpersistent wetland (PEM2B) wetlands are located within the
construction limits of the project at this site. Impacts to Wetland A include <0.01
acre fill in wetland. Impacts to Wetland B include <0.01 acre fill in wetland.

Permanent impacts at the site associated with these activities results in 41 feet
existing channel impacted <0.01 acre fill in surface water and <0.01 acre fill in wetlands.
Additionally, a seven foot long relocated channel will be constructed at the site.

Temporary impacts to the perennial stream from _dcwatering_will impact <0.01 ac of
stream bed and 46 linear feet stream channel.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWT) 14 and NWP 33 and DWQ Section 401 Water Quality
Certification (WQC) No. 3289 and No. 3114 for construction of this project. The
NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP and WQC conditions. A pre-construction
notification is attached with this request. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact me at [phone].

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
Nt p_/!v-vwN,? S;_Iw usace.arnly_mil/wf'tl lids/Perm-app.hti1i.
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 http //w??tr s,???,u?,ac<_army r?il?'??e(lan?l.%re??t?nu lilm, 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__state._??c.uslnc?,?etl<<???.i?; 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 12
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 USACE 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 little //w?titiu IIS0 t.111 111im
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, seethe DWQ website at ate. ?,? !rr??,?ctla???i,!ta,??? lit ml. 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

4. 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 application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
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.
All wetlands and surface waters not affected by nroiect construction will be protected from
unnecessary encroachment. No staging of equipment will be allowed in or adjacent to waters of
the U.S. The side slopes at the jurisdictional site has been steepened to the maximum extent
possible. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and
surface waters will be enforced during construction. Only the smallest amount of fill necessary
to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States.
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.
Page 7 of 12
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
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.
Not Applicable
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
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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
