DWQ Project No. 020929
Upgrade of SR 2833 (Link Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J.M. Mills, P.E., Division Engineer
NCDOT Division 7
P.O. Box 14996
Greensboro, NC 27415
Dear Mr. Mills:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 86 linear feet and incur 40 linear feet of temporary impacts to two unnamed tributaries to Buffalo
Creek in order to upgrade SR 2833 (Link Road) in Guilford County. The project should be constructed in
accordance with your application dated August 15, 2002 (received August 23, 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 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. The impacted waters are classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters. Therefore, NCDOT shall use
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0124) to
minimize impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Additionally, storm water should be directed to
buffer areas or retention basins and must not be routed directly into streams unless the applicant
provides evidence that this is not practicable or feasible.
2. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
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. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.

6. NCDOT is encouraged to use existing on-site vegetation and materials for stream bank stabilization
and to minimize the use of rip rap.
7. 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).
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.
8. NCDOT must submit a plan for written DWQ approval to address any headcutting that will occur as a
result of this project.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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 Ms.
Jennifer Frye of the Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336.771.4600.

SUBJECT: Guilford County, Upgrade of Link Road (SR 2833) from an unpaved secondary road
to a paved secondary road. State Project Number: 6.492121T
To Whom It May Concern:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade Link Road (SR
2833) from an unpaved to a paved secondary road to reduce future maintenance needs and increase
traffic safety. This activity will result in impacts to streams due to the replacement and extension of
crossline pipes to facilitate travel lane and shoulder widening. The NCDOT anticipates that the pipe
replacement activities will be authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and the dewatering
operations will be authorized under NWP 33. This application is intended as a request for formal
written authorization from the USACE for dewatering activities occurring under NWP 33. This
application is also intended as request for written authorization from the NC Division of Water
Quality to replace the pipes under General Water Quality Certificate # 3375 (NWP 14). The
following information is being provided to satisfy Nationwide Permit Condition 13 (Federal
Register January 15, 2002) and Condition 1 of General Water Quality Certificate # 3375.

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.
Pine replacement activities are necessarv to increase travel lane and shoulder width to current
construction standards. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management
Practices for the protection of wetland and surface waters, restrictions against the staging of
equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US, and coordination (including a pre-construction
meeting) with the Division Environmental Officer.
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 5 of 8
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/stnngide.htm].
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.
A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated; therefore, a mitigation plan is not provided.
Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet. The maximum amount of impact to a single
stream is 52 linear feet. No Outstanding Resource Waters, federally protected species or
their habitats, or essential fishery habitats occur in the project area. The project is not located
in a High Quality Water.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wry/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

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).

Dear Mr. Mills:
(Please Distribute to Division/District Maintenance Engineers and DEO):
The NCDOT Historic Architecture Section has received your county commission-approved 2001-2002
Secondary Roads Rural Paving Program. We have map-checked all submitted roads at the NC State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for the following currently designated historic property types:
National Register (NR), Study List (SL), and Determined Eligible (DOE) properties. Based on the map-
check reviews, we are writing (1) to inform you of the current historic compliance status for your SR Rural
Paving Program; (2) to notify you of the SR projects that defutitely will require our fieldwork; (3) to
provide you with information that can be included (or attached) in your cover letter for a Pre-Construction
Notification.
If coordination is required, the NCDOT staff architectural historian will notify the Division/District
Maintenance Engineers to start a mitigation effort involving environmental commitment agreeable to all
parties. Documentation will be coordinated by the staff architectural historian with the Division
Environmental Officer.
When additional SR projects are added to a Program, individual updates will be sent to the
Division/District Maintenance Engineers and the DEO. All status updates can be tracked on the Division
Support website. If there are errors or omissions in this letter or on the website, please e-mail your NCDOT
staff architectural historian or call the Division Coordinator, Richard Silverman, 919-733-7844 x293.
Sincerely, -?-??

HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE STATUS REVIEW SHEET
NCDOT Secondary Roads Rural Paving Projects
The county-commission approved 2001-2002 SR Rural Paving Program for Division 7 has been map-
checked at the NC Historic Preservation Office by NCDOT Architectural Historians. The results of this
map-check should be included in your Pre-Construction Notification application (by attachment of this
document with the applicable SR# circled or by inclusion in your own letter).
Historic Properties Present (NR, SL, or DOE)
Status: THE DIVISION WILL NOT PROCEED until compliance work is completed by NCDOT
Historic Architecture and Concurrence' has been obtained from the NC State Historic Preservation
Office
Further Information & Scheduling: Contact your assigned Architectural Historian or go to
http://www.dot.state.nc.us/planning/pclhistarchUdivsupport/
Based on a review of USGS county survey quad maps at the SHPO, the following roads have
properties that are currently designated as historic. Please do not proceed with construction until
compliance work is completed by the Historic Architecture Section. We will be in contact with the
Division/District Maintenance Engineers and the Division Environmental Officer to coordinate this
effort. Please note: not all NR, SL, or DOE properties will necessarily require mitigation. We will
work with the Division and District Maintenance Engineers if environmental commitments are
required. At any time, if you are not in agreement with the proposed mitigation efforts, please contact
Richard Silverman, Division Coordinator at 919-733-7844 x298.

Status for projects with a Federal Permit anticipated: PROCEED WITH CONDITIONS
(see below)
Further Information & Scheduling: Contact your assigned Architectural Historian or go to
http://www.dot.state.nc.us/planning/pe/histarchi/divsupportl
Based on a review of USGS county survey quad maps at the HPO, the following roads do not have
properties that are currently designated historic. The Division may proceed with construction with the
following conditions: If the Division applies for a Federal Permit, the NC State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) may request additional fieldwork, (usually to identify Potentially Eligible properties).
Typically this request is made for counties where historic resource surveys have not been completed or
are out-of-date. If additional historic properties are identified, further coordination, including
environmentaf commitments, may be required as part of the project. For SR Projects where no Federal
Permit is to be applied for, no further compliance work is anticipated by NCDOT. Those projects may
proceed unconditionally.
