MEMORANDUM
TO: John Hendrix, Permit Coordinator
Asheville Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 8, 2002
SUBJECT: Review of an application by North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT), SR1648, Bridge #102, Little Buffalo Creek, Gaston County.
NCDOT is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean
Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
NCDOT proposes to replace a deteriorating 18' x 18' long timber bridge with a
50' double line of 96 CMP with a concrete headwall. Riprap will be used to stabilize
aprons and streambanks. NCDOT will attempt to install the main flow pipe a foot below
the stream depth, based on the thalweg depth.
The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field
biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. Therefore, we
do not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters provided the following
conditions are implemented:
The main flow barrel should be placed as low as practicable due to
bedrock conditions. The other culvert should be placed on or near the
floodplain bench elevation. {Generally, culverts 48" or larger should be
buried approximately I' into the streambed. Only one pipe should be
installed one foot below the thalweg for the base flow channel so as to
provide for aquatic life passage. The other pipe should be installed at an
elevation to receive only stormwater flows. } Existing or restored
floodplain benching should be connected to the stormwater pipe. Elevated
SR1648, Bridge 102, Little Buffalo 2 April 8, 2002
stormwater flow pipes should not create nuisance conditions (stagnant
water).
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design
standards for sensitive watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0024).
3. The use of riprap should be minimized so as not to interfere with aquatic
life passage during low flow conditions. As appropriate and feasible,
temporary cofferdams may be useful to restore floodplain benching and
streamside vegetation.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you
have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Replacement of Bridge No. 102 on SR 1648
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Ms. Trish Simon. Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 12
P.O. Box 47
Shelby, NC 28151-0047
Dear Ms. Simon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur 70
linear feet of impacts to Little Buffalo Creek for the purpose of replacing Bridge No. 102 on SR 1648
in Gaston County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated April
2, 2002 (received April 5, 2002). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3366 corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 33. 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 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. NCDOT shall follow Best Management for the Protection of Surface Waters (March 1997) and
comply with the requirements for WS-III waters as specified in 15A NCAC 2B .0216.
2. Storm water must 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.
3. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation must be planted on all bare soil within 15 clays of
ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control.
4. The structure and rip-rap 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 nor the
stream channel widened). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below
locations of the culvert. Disturbed floodplain benching should be restored to natural geomorphic

conditions in front of threoncrete headwall and upstream and downstream of the second, storm
water flow pipe.
5. Use of rip-rap for baulk abilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If rip-rWis necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high wate
mark, and vegetation trot be used for stabilization above high water.
6. All work shall be per1foaed during low flow conditions.
7. All mechanized equip ant operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and
maintained to prevent catainination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or
other toxic materials. Fkvy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than the stream
channel. Under no circw stances must rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted
stream channel under atiorization of this permit, except in the immediate vicinity of the
culverts.
Upon completion of the pr*t, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Compleation"6rm to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been c:o nfkted. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/We&ids Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project
If you do not accept any of ie. conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act withi 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition that atforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
Office of Administratime Herings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This
certification and its concdittias are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

Dear Nir. Hendrix:
SECRETARY

Jay C 7
t'
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes the following
prof .,. for your issuance of a Section 404 Permit. We believe this project can be accomplished
under- Nationwide #14 Permit, Road Crossings and Nationwide #33 Permit, Temporary
Consu action, Access, and Dewatering.
COUNTY: Gaston
LOCATION: Bridge #102 replacement on SR 1648, north of Cherryville
STREAM: Little Buffalo Creek, WS-III Waters (From source to Buffalo Creek),
Broad River Basin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of replacing a
deteriorating 18'wide x 18' long timber bridge with a 50-foot double line of 96" CMP with a
cone: rte inlet headwall on 0.10 acres of NCDOT right of way. It is proposed that five-foot riprap
aprons: will be placed in the streambed and ten feet of riprap will be placed on the streambanks at
the pine inlet and outlet for structure stabilization. NCDOT will attempt to bury the mainflow pipe
one foot below existing streambed based upon thalweg (deepest part of the stream channel)
eleva-zions taken upstream and downstream of the existing pipe; however, there is bedrock visible in
the s. ram. It is anticipated that there may be some difficulty in burying the pipe. In the event that
the p-rsence of bedrock prevents proper pipe burial, it is NCDOT's preference on this project to
place the pipe at streambed elevation. The existing stream width is approximately eight feet wide.
Ripra;? faced floodplain benches will be constructed to divert stream flow through the low flow
pipe and to maintain channel dimensions. Temporary cofferdams will be used to restrict stream flow
and a temporary pipe will divert the stream around the work site during construction. These
tempo -ary impacts will be contained with the permanent riprap impacts. Upon project completion,
the a:---a impacted by the temporary cofferdams will be restored to pre-construction conditions.

Bridge ='02 Replacement/Secondary Road Paving Project, SR 1648
April 2. =002 - Page 2
SR 1646 is currently an -18-foot wide unpaved gravel road. NCDOT also plans to pave the road
from SR '1649 to the Lincoln County line for a length of 1.5 miles. It will be graded and paved to
current s--andards and typical section (20 foot width) using bulldozers, pans, backhoes, rollers, and
pavers. The majority of the work will consist of reshaping the existing alignment with two areas of
minimal -ealignment. Enclosed is a PCN application, a sketch of planned activities, and location
maps relative to the proposed project.
Based upon the "Guidelines for the Location and Design of Hazardous Spill Basins", which are
referenc d in DOT's Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters, the
applicab_- locations for the placement of hazardous spill basins are at stream crossings on highways
functionally classified as rural or urban arterials and where the stream crossing is within 1/2 mile of
the critical area. The proposed project is located in a WS-III watershed; however, it not located
within 1= mile of the critical watershed area nor is it functionally classified as a rural or urban
arterial. «Vith consideration to the road's low potential for hazard relative to traffic use, the
Department of Transportation feels that hazardous spill basins are not warranted for the proposed
pipe replacement project. Enclosed is the "Guidelines for the Location and Design of Hazardous
Spill Ba_cns" and the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist.
There a:--- three federally listed threatened and endangered species listed for Gaston County - the
bog tur-e (Clemmys muhlenbergii), the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucoceplialus), and Schweinitz's
sunflow e (Helianthus sclnveinit--ii). A review of available information revealed no known sites in
the vicinty of the project area. A survey for these species was conducted on July 31, 2001 and
March . 2002 in the vicinity of the proposed project. None were found. It was determined that
there w-iv be no impact on any federally listed threatened or endangered species. A review of the
availabi?_ information from the National Register of Historic Places was also conducted. It was
determin--d that there will be no impacts to any historical property listed or eligible for the National
Register. A concurrence form from the N.C. State Historic Preservation Office for this project is
enclosed-
By copy of this letter, we are asking Neil Trivette, NCDOT Roadside Environmental Field
Engineer to comment on the above project. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting
concurr-_=e from the Wildlife Resources Commission and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of the application package to John Dorney,
NCDEti-_-?, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetland Unit for review.
Your ea-sest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any

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.
NCDOT plans to replace the bridge with a 50' double line of 96" CMP due to the lower cost
(-$40,000) associated with this option. Estimates to replace the bridge with a 50' bridge is
-$125,000. There is also a safety concern with the existing bridge due to the sharp curve located
at the north approach of the site. The property owners north of the existing bridge will not sign
right of way agreements to allow for road realignment in this area. NCDOT will attempt to burX
the main flow pipe one foot below existing streambed elevation, however, there is bedrock
visible in the vicinity. It is anticipated that it may be difficult to bury the pipe without blasting
rock. In the event that the presence of bedrock prevents proper pipe burial, it is NCDOT's
preference on this project to place the pipe on bedrock grade.
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
Page 9 of 12
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://112o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmeide.litnil.
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: 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 iitip://h2o.cnr.st itc.nc.usiNN-M/index.t,m1. 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):
M 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 N
Page 10 of 12
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
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .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.
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required
Miff tion
1 3
2 1.5
Total
Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
NA
XI. 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.
There is a minimal amount of impervious surface proposed on this proiect in the areas of the new
road alignment and the widening of the existing unpaved road to meet paved road standards (est.
< 0.50 acres)
Page 11 of 12
XM 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.
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

improvment projects at strategic locations along arterial system highways to aid in
containment and clean up of accidental spills. The determination of these strategic
locations is based on concentrated truck usage areas such as; parking sites at rest
areas, weight stations, and runaway ramps, as well as for highway segments in close
proximity to particularly sensitive waters such as; outstanding resource waters and
water supply sources.
The strategy is to configure the highway segment of concern such that any
potential spill runoff would be directed through a facility (basin) where the flow could be
interrupted and temporarily stored to prevent hazardous material from reaching a
receiving stream.
The use of these basins and other management practices to protect receiving
waters is in accordance to the general policies and criteria presented in the departments
document "Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters". The following
is additional specific guidance in the location and design of the basins:
APPLICABLE LOCATIONS
Basins will be provided at stream crossings on highways
functionally classified as a rural or urban arterials and,
The stream(') is identified as an Outstanding Resource
Water (ORW) or a WS-1 watersupply, or
The stream(1) crossing is within 1/2 mile of the critical
area (2) of a water supply source classified as WS-II, WS-III
and WS-IV.
Provision of basins at crossings of those streams on highways
functionally calssified as collectors and local streets and roads can
be evaluated on a site by site basis with consideration for:
traffic volume, traffic type, accident potential related to the highway
geometries, receiving water quality, and the feasibility of basin
construction at the site.
APPENDIX O
SHEET 2 OF 2
(1) For the purpose of these guidelines "strewn " will be defined as those depicted as
blue lines on 7-112 minute (1:24000 scale) United States Geological Survey
(USGS) quadrangles.
(2) Critical area is defined as extending 112 mile from the normal pool elevation of
a reservoir; or 112 mile upstream of, and draining to an intake. This would
make the effective area for hazardous spill basins placement, within 1.0 mile of
the normal pool or upstream of an intake.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The volume of spill containment storage provided will be
approximately 10,000 gallons plus the estimated runoff volume
from a rainfall intensity equating to a two year return period
event.
A means will be provided such that the normal free flow of
runoff at the basin outlet can be interrupted to cause containment
of hazardous runoff. This can be accomplished by providing a
mechanical control gate or by constructing a minimum control
section in the outlet channel that could be readily blocked by such
simple mean as shoveled earth material or stacked bags.
The mechanical gate alternative will generally be utilized in areas
where normal operational activities would allow close scrutiny
and control, reducing the potential for problems with vandalism.
Examples would be rest areas, weight stations and within
controlled access.

Narrative
This project, which is a road improvement/widening project, is located in
North Gaston County. It will consist of construction approximately
7,700 feet of Old Fallston Road to a 20-foot edge of pavement to edge of
pavement with a 6-foot shoulder section on each side. The construction
will take place with its intersection with SR 1649 Baxter Road and the
Lincoln County Line.
Construction will consist of the installation of pavement and storm
drainage. The construction will be performed on new roadway; the
majority of the land adjacent to the proposed construction area is made
up of undeveloped wooded land. The total area to be denuded for the
project is 7.0 acres. The erosion control for this project will be in the
form of 47 checkdams. The dams will be placed at several locations
along the roadway. Silt fences will be placed along the toe of sloped
where sediment-laden runoff cannot be directed into sediment basins. In
addition, temporary diversion ridge will be used to contain run off, which
will be discharged periodically at various checkdams. Rock checkdams
shall also be used along the ditch sections. The plans shall show the
exact location, type and size of each erosion control device.
There is 4 points of discharge from cross lines with this project, which
discharge into an existing system, which will have outlet protection
installed at the outlets. Inlet protection will be placed at all inlets where
a sediment basin cannot be placed at the discharge points. Rock check
dams will be installed at all inlet headwalls. Silt fences will be installed
at the toe of all fills where there is potential for erosion.
The soil erosion and sedimentation control structures and devices should
be done in accordance with the specifications and designs as shown on
the plans. All devices should be maintained until vegetation has been
stabilized until the black base has been placed.
Other erosion control measures of field modifications maybe required as
site conditions dictate.

SILT BASIN TYPE-B:

A silt basin type-13 is a temporary basin built to collect sediment flowing through a
drainage way. The silt basin is built at the base of the ditch with its length being at
least 2 times the width of the basin. The type-13 silt basin is generally built in
conjunction with temporary rock silt checks. and other devices that control or slow
down water flow. This device must be monitored closely and cleaned-out on a
regular basis until grass is established along the ditch line and sedimentation is no
longer a problem.
AREAS of USE:
In conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices used in
drainage ditches.
DESIGN CRITCRIA:
Width - variable
• Length - 2 times width
Depth - 2 ft. nunimum storage - 18N cubic feet/acre (equals L z W z D)
