SUBJECT: Nationwide Permit 33 Application for the Proposed Realignment of South
Main Street (SR 2456) and Waughtown Street in Winston-Salem, Forsyth
County, NC. TIP No. U-2926, State Project No. 9.8091857.
Dear Sir:
021849
The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to realign the
intersection of South Main Street (SR 2456) and Waughtown Street, the intersection of
Waughtown Street and Alder Street, and to construct a traffic roundabout at the
intersection of South Main Street and Salem Avenue. The project length is 0.5 km (0.3
mi), and the existing right-of-way (ROW) is 18 in (60 ft). Although variable throughout
the project, the proposed ROW is approximately 30 m (100 ft). The project's
construction let date is January 21, 2003.
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA) DOCUMENT STATUS
In order to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), NCDOT
completed and submitted an approved State Environmental Assessment (EA) and State
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The State EA was approved on February 24,
1999, while the State FONSI was approved on October 23, 2000.

PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The above NEPA documents describe the need to correct a complex system of
one-way roads and confusing intersections that occur within the project's current design
in order to provide a road system more easily understood and navigated by motorists.
The proposed project will ultimately improve safety in the project area while providing a
more efficient movement of traffic. The EA and FONSI also describe existing and
projected conditions in the study area, including waters of the United States and federally
pt'' t to ; s t pcies. Finally, the documents evaluate alignments with respect to costs,
'.. oliomic impacts, and environmental consequences. The NCDOT provided
co e EA and FONSI to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval
cel?di?lbnal copies will be provided upon request.
PROTECTED SPECIES
As of May 31, 2002, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three
federally protected species (i.e., red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), bog turtle
(Clemmys muhlenbergii), and small-anthered bittercress (Cardamine micranthera)) for
Forsyth County. The project's EA rendered a Biological Conclusion of "No Effect" for
red-cockaded woodpecker. The EA also states that impacts to the bog turtle (Clemmys
muhlenbergii) will not occur from project construction due to a lack of suitable habitat at
the project study area. Since it is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance, the
bog turtle is not subject to the provisions of ESA §7. The project's State FONSI states
that "the project will not impact (small-anthered bittercress)", but did not provide a
specific Biological Conclusion. A Biological Conclusion of No Effect was, however,
provided in the project's June 12, 2001 Natural Resource Technical Report (NRTR).
WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS
The project will not impact any Designated Wild and Scenic Rivers or any rivers
included in the list of study rivers (Public Law 90-542, as amended).
AVOIDANCE / MINIMIZATION
According to the Clean Water Act (C WA) §404(b)(1) guidelines, NCDOT must
avoid, minimize, and mitigate, in sequential order, impacts to waters of the US. The
following is a list of the project's jurisdictional wetland and stream
avoidance/minimization activities proposed or completed by NCDOT:
Minimization: The side slopes of the temporary causeway are at a 1.5:1 ratio.
Minimization: With only one bridge bent placed into the waters of Salem Creek (at
Station No. 13+52.379), NCDOT minimized, to the maximum extent possible, the
number of bridge bents placed into jurisdictional waters of the US.
e
S
Tim Bassette Page 2 November 1, 2002
Minimization: Two 900 mm corrugated metal pipes (CMPs) will be installed in the
temporary causeway across Salem Creek. The CMPs will be situated on the surface of
the natural stream bottom instead of trenching the stream bottom. (Installing the invert of
the pipes below the surface of the stream bottom would have required trenching the
streambed.) The pipes will be placed on grade so that they follow the natural thalweg of
the stream. When the causeway is removed the pre-project stream profile and cross-
sections will be restored. These minimization efforts ensure aquatic life passage during
low flows and minimize impacts to the stream bottom.
Minimization: The project will not have any adverse effect on the existing 100-year
floodplain and associated flood hazard. The removal of Bridge No. 314 and replacement
of Bridge No. 8 will provide equivalent or improved conveyance of 100-year floodwaters
compared to that of the existing bridges. Therefore, with the exception of one proposed
bridge bent, there will be no discharge of permanent fill material into the 100-year
floodplain. The project's State EA depicts a flood hazard evaluation on page 34 and
Figure 5 of the aforementioned document.
Minimization: In order to minimize temporary bridge demolition fill into Salem Creek,
the construction contractor will be able to limit the amount of bridge deck area
(superstructure) dropped into the stream. By removing the bridges' superstructures
through non-shattering (e.g., lifting) or sawing methods, the contractor can prevent
approximately 60% of the bridges' superstructure from temporarily filling Salem Creek.
Consequently, at least 38 m3 (50 yd3) of demolished superstructure associated with Bridge
No. 314 will not end up as temporary fill in Salem Creek. Using the same minimization
efforts, at least 50 m' (66 yd3) of demolished superstructure from Bridge No. 8 will not
temporarily fill Salem Creek. Due to safety concerns and demolition constraints, it may
be necessary for the contractor to drop up to 100% of Bridge No. 8's substructure into
Salem Creek.
Minimization: Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be strictly enforced for
sedimentation and erosion control for the protection of surface waters and wetlands.
Minimization: BMPs for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be strictly enforced for the
removal of the two existing bridges.
Based on the above considerations, it is determined that there is no practicable
alternative to the proposed construction in jurisdictional waters of the US and that the
proposed action includes all practicable methods to avoid and/or minimize jurisdictional
wetland and stream impacts that may result from such use.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
Wetland delineations were conducted using the field delineation method outlined
in Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Environment Laboratory, 1987).
Jurisdictional streams were identified according to guidelines set forth in NC Division of
Water Quality's (NCDWQ) Field Location of Streams, Ditches, and Ponding.• Revision
Number Six, Working Draft (Environmental Sciences Lab, February 10, 1997). No

t
jurisdictional wetlands and one jurisdictional stream, Salem Creek, are present in the
project study area. Salem Creek is a perennial stream.
Construction of the proposed project will necessitate impacts to jurisdictional
surface waters. The demolition of the substructure and/or superstructure of the existing
bridges may temporarily impact surface waters of Salem Creek. Fill from a temporary
causeway will also temporarily impact waters of Salem Creek. With the exception of one
proposed bridge bent, no permanent fill will result from the subject activity. The
following describes the project's jurisdictional impacts.
Bridge Demolition Information:
Bridge No. 314 is located on Waughtown Street over Salem Creek in Winston-
Salem, Forsyth County. The structure has two spans totaling 33.7 in (110.5 ft) in length.
The superstructure consists of reinforced concrete deck girders with concrete railings.
The end bents in the substructure are composed of full height reinforced concrete. The
interior bent is a reinforced concrete post and web pier. There is a potential for
components of the bridge deck to be dropped into waters of the United States, as defined
under 33 CFR §328.3(a), during removal operations. In utilizing minimization efforts
during bridge demolition, the contractor will not allow more than 26 m3 (33 yd 3) of
temporary fill associated with the concrete deck (superstructure) to fall into Salem Creek.
Neither the pier nor the abutments are located in or adjacent to water; therefore, it is not
anticipated that any components of the substructure will result in temporary fill during the
removal of this bridge. Bridge demolition is classified as a Case 3, for which there are no
special restrictions beyond those outlined in BMPs for Protection of Surface Waters and
BMPs for Bridge Demolition and Removal.
Bridge No. 8 carries southbound traffic on Main Street over Salem Creek in
Winston-Salem, Forsyth County. The bridge has two spans totaling 33.8 in (111 ft) in
length. The deck is composed of reinforced concrete deck girders with concrete railings.
The substructure is composed of rock masonry abutments with reinforced concrete caps
and one solid reinforced concrete pier. There is a potential for components of the bridge
to be dropped into waters of the United States during construction. Only 9.4 in (31 ft of
the length of the bridge is over water. In utilizing minimization efforts during bridge
demolition, the contractor will not allow more than 34 m3 (44 yd 3) of temporary fill
associated with the concrete deck (superstructure) to fall into Salem Creek. The concrete
pier and the abutment on the south side of the bridge are located next to water. In a worst
case scenario, up to 54 m3 (70yd3) of temporary fill material associated with the concrete
pier (substructure) and 54 m3 (70 yd 3) of temporary fill material associated with the rock
masonry abutment (substructure) may fall into Salem Creek. Due to safety and
demolition constraints, the construction contractor may not be able to minimize any of
the substructure's temporary fill material from falling into the stream. Bridge demolition
is classified as a Case 3, for which there are no special restrictions beyond those outlined
in BMPs for Protection of Surface Waters and BMPs for Bridge Demolition and
Removal.
Tim Bassette Page 4 November 1, 2002
Temporary jurisdictional impacts:
Bridge No. 8 will also include the construction of a proposed temporary rock
causeway at Station No. 13+40 -L- to 13+60 -L- (permit drawing 3 of 5). The causeway,
comprised of class II riprap at 1.5:1 slopes, will facilitate the construction of the bridge's
center bent via drilled shaft construction. The causeway will cross the entire creek and
will have two 900 mm CMPs sized to allow the passage of stream flow. The causeway
will temporarily fill 0.029 ha (0.072 ac) of jurisdictional surface waters in Salem Creek
(permit drawing 5 of 5).
In accordance with CWA §404 NWP No. 33 (67 FR 2020, 2085; January 15,
2002), the "Notification" General Condition must include a restoration plan of reasonable
measures to avoid and minimize adverse effects to aquatic resources. The following is
the proposed project's restoration, removal, and disposal plan for Bridge No. 8:
• Restoration Plan: The temporary fill will consist of Class II riprap. No permanent fill
will result from the subject activity. Following construction of the causeway, the
construction of the interior bent will be completed. After the bent is completed all
material used in the construction of the temporary causeway, including the two 900
mm CMPs, will be removed. Reference elevations are available for the area of
proposed construction of the temporary causeways. In addition, profiles and cross
sections of the streambed have been measured with the data including measurements
of the stream thalweg. The NCDOT will restore the stream to its pre-project contours
and elevations. The temporary impact area associated with the causeway is expected
to recover naturally, since the natural streambed and plant material will not be
removed. The NCDOT does not propose any additional planting in this area. The fill
will be placed and removed with earth moving equipment.
• Schedule: The project schedule calls for a production letting of January 21, 2003
with a projected date of availability of March 1, 2003. It is expected that the
contractor will choose to start construction of the causeway for the bridge on the date
of availability.
• Removal and Disposal Plan: The contractor will be required to submit a reclamation
plan for the removal of and disposal of all materials off-site at an upland location.
The contractor-will use excavating equipment to remove the riprap used for the
temporary causeways. Heavy-duty trucks, bulldozers, cranes and various other pieces
of mechanical equipment necessary for construction of roadways and bridges will be
used on site. All material placed in the river will be removed from the river at that
time. The contractor will have the option of reusing any of the riprap that the
engineer deems suitable in the construction of the causeway for the bridge. After the
temporary causeway is no longer needed, all temporary causeway material will
become the property of the contractor.

COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
There are no permanent jurisdictional impacts on this project. Consequently, no
compensatory stream or wetland mitigation is required to offset such impacts.

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.
See "Avoidance/Minimization" section of the hermit application cover letter.
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 6 of 10

in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
htti)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htmi.
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.
No permanent jurisdictional wetland or stream impacts. Therefore, no compensatory
wetland or stream mitigation is proposed.
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 htta://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

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.
Approximately 50%-75% of existing and proposed land uses consist of, or will consist of, impervious
surfaces. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be strictly enforced for sedimentation and erosion
control for the protection of surface waters and wetlands.
Pages 10-11 of the project's State FONSI document depict NCDWQ's comment on stormwater
management along Bridge No. 8. The agency's comment specifically states that "stormwater should not
be permitted to discharge directly into the creek ... (and) should be designed to drain to a properly
designed stormwater detention facility/apparatus."
The NCDOT assessed the feasibility of a stormwater detention facility/apparatus during design stages of
Bridge No. 8, but was unable to incorporate such a system in the final design. Stormwater was
discharged away from the stream to the extent practicable. The proposed bridge will directly discharge
stormwater into Salem Creek and the proposed greenwU under Bridge No. 8 via deck draina eg /scupper
system (15.24 cm (6 in) PVC pipe paced on 3.658 m(12 ft centers). The NCDOT did not incorporate
a stormwater management system into proposed Bridge No. 8's final design for the following four
reasons:
• The bridge will consist of a pre-stressed cored slab situated on a crest vertical curve with a proposed
grade elevation of +1.2583% and -1.5556%, and a road width of 20.4 m (66.93 ft), not including the
bridge's sidewalks. In order to safely clear stormwater off the cored slab bridge's deck, thereby
reducing potential hydroplaning incidents, the proposed bridge would require a higher grade
elevation and shorter width to eliminate deck drain placement directly over the water. Existing
topography, road elevation, and road width dictate the bridge's currently proposed elevation grade
and width.
• In order to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodway regulations, the
proposed grade is held as close as possible to the existing grade. Raising the grade or changing the
superstructure depth affects the overtopping of the structure and raises the upstream water surface
elevation above FEMA requirements.
• Several local citizens requested that the proposed bridge be aesthetically pleasing. A stormwater
gutter/trough placed along the outside of the bridge will not appease to the citizens' aesthetic
concerns.
The NCDWQ characterizes the portion of Salem Creek from the project to the stream's source as
Class C waters. Class C water is suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife,
secondary recreation and agriculture. This reach of Salem Creek also occurs in a heavily urbanized
portion of Winston-Salem. No water resources classified as High Quality Waters HQWs), Water
Supplies (WS-1 or WS-II) or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) are located within 1.6 km (1.0
mi) of the project study area.

SUBJECT: Nationwide Permit 33 Application for the Proposed Realignment of South
Main Street (SR 2456) and Waughtown Street in Winston-Salem, Forsyth
County, NC. TIP No. U-2926, State Project No. 9.8091857.
Dear Sir:
The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to realign the
intersection of South Main Street (SR 2456) and Waughtown Street, the intersection of
Waughtown Street and Alder Street, and to construct a traffic roundabout at the
intersection of South Main Street and Salem Avenue. The project length is 0.5 km (0.3
mi), and the existing right-of-way (ROW) is 18 in (60 ft). Although variable throughout
the project, the proposed ROW is approximately 30 in (100 ft). The project's
construction let date is January 21, 2003.
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA) DOCUMENT STATUS
In order to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), NCDOT
completed and submitted an approved State Environmental Assessment (EA) and State
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The State EA was approved on February 24,
1999, while the State FONSI was approved on October 23, 2000.

PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The above NEPA documents describe the need to correct a complex system of
one-way roads and confusing intersections that occur within the project's current design
in order to provide a road system more easily understood and navigated by motorists.
The proposed project will ultimately improve safety in the project area while providing a
more efficient movement of traffic. The EA and FONSI also describe existing and
projected conditions in the study area, including waters of the United States and federally
protected species. Finally, the documents evaluate alignments with respect to costs,
social and economic impacts, and environmental consequences. The NCDOT provided
copies of the EA and FONSI to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval
process. ,#kdditional copies will be provided upon request.

FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES
As of May 31, 2002, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three
federally protected species (i.e., red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), bog turtle
(Clemmys muhlenbergii), and small-anthered bittercress (Cardamine micranthera)) for
Forsyth County. The project's EA rendered a Biological Conclusion of "No Effect" for
red-cockaded woodpecker. The EA also states that impacts to the bog turtle (Clemmys
muhlenbergii) will not occur from project construction due to a lack of suitable habitat at
the project study area. Since it is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance, the
bog turtle is not subject to the provisions of ESA §7. The project's State FONSI states
that "the project will not impact (small-anthered bittercress)", but did not provide a
specific Biological Conclusion. A Biological Conclusion of No Effect was, however,
provided in the project's June 12, 2001 Natural Resource Technical Report (NRTR).
WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS
The project will not impact any Designated Wild and Scenic Rivers or any rivers
included in the list of study rivers (Public Law 90-542, as amended).
AVOIDANCE / MINIMIZATION
According to the Clean Water Act (CWA) §404(b)(1) guidelines, NCDOT must
avoid, minimize, and mitigate, in sequential order, impacts to waters of the US. The
following is a list of the project's jurisdictional wetland and stream
avoidance/minimization activities proposed or completed by NCDOT:
Minimization: The side slopes of the temporary causeway are at a 1.5:1 ratio.
Minimization: With only one bridge bent placed into the waters of Salem Creek (at
Station No. 13+52.379), NCDOT minimized, to the maximum extent possible, the
number of bridge bents placed into jurisdictional waters of the US.
t
Tim Bassette Page 2 November 1, 2002
Minimization: Two 900 mm corrugated metal pipes (CMPs) will be installed in the
temporary causeway across Salem Creek. The CMPs will be situated on the surface of
the natural stream bottom instead of trenching the stream bottom. (Installing the invert of
the pipes below the surface of the stream bottom would have required trenching the
streambed.) The pipes will be placed on grade so that they follow the natural thalweg of
the stream. When the causeway is removed the pre-project stream profile and cross-
sections will be restored. These minimization efforts ensure aquatic life passage during
low flows and minimize impacts to the stream bottom.
Minimization: The project will not have any adverse effect on the existing 100-year
floodplain and associated flood hazard. The removal of Bridge No. 314 and replacement
of Bridge No. 8 will provide equivalent or improved conveyance of 100-year floodwaters
compared to that of the existing bridges. Therefore, with the exception of one proposed
bridge bent, there will be no discharge of permanent fill material into the 100-year
floodplain. The project's State EA depicts a flood hazard evaluation on page 34 and
Figure 5 of the aforementioned document.
Minimization: In order to minimize temporary bridge demolition fill into Salem Creek,
the construction contractor will be able to limit the amount of bridge deck area
(superstructure) dropped into the stream. By removing the bridges' superstructures
through non-shattering (e.g., lifting) or sawing methods, the contractor can prevent
approximately 60% of the bridges' superstructure from temporarily filling Salem Creek.
Consequently, at least 38 m3 (50 yd3) of demolished superstructure associated with Bridge
No. 314 will not end up as temporary fill in Salem Creek. Using the same minimization
efforts, at least 50 m3 (66 yd 3) of demolished superstructure from Bridge No. 8 will not
temporarily fill Salem Creek. Due to safety concerns and demolition constraints, it may
be necessary for the contractor to drop up to 100% of Bridge No. 8's substructure into
Salem Creek.
Minimization: Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be strictly enforced for
sedimentation and erosion control for the protection of surface waters and wetlands.
Minimization: BMPs for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be strictly enforced for the
removal of the two existing bridges.
Based on the above considerations, it is determined that there is no practicable
alternative to the proposed construction in jurisdictional waters of the US and that the
proposed action includes all practicable methods to avoid and/or minimize jurisdictional
wetland and stream impacts that may result from such use.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
Wetland delineations were conducted using the field delineation method outlined
in Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (Environment Laboratory, 1987).
Jurisdictional streams were identified according to guidelines set forth in NC Division of
Water Quality's (NCDWQ) Field Location of Streams, Ditches, and Ponding: Revision
Number Six, Working Draft (Environmental Sciences Lab, February 10, 1997). No
Tim Bassette Page 3 November 1, 2002
jurisdictional wetlands and one jurisdictional stream, Salem Creek, are present in the t
project study area. Salem Creek is a perennial stream.
Construction of the proposed project will necessitate impacts to jurisdictional
surface waters. The demolition of the substructure and/or superstructure of the existing
bridges may temporarily impact surface waters of Salem Creek. Fill from a temporary
causeway will also temporarily impact waters of Salem Creek. With the exception of one
proposed bridge bent, no permanent fill will result from the subject activity. The
following describes the project's jurisdictional impacts.
Bridge Demolition Information:
Bridge No. 314 is located on Waughtown Street over Salem Creek in Winston-
Salem, Forsyth County. The structure has two spans totaling 33.7 m (110.5 ft) in length.
The superstructure consists of reinforced concrete deck girders with concrete railings.
The end bents in the substructure are composed of full height reinforced concrete. The
interior bent is a reinforced concrete post and web pier. There is a potential for
components of the bridge deck to be dropped into waters of the United States, as defined
under 33 CFR §328.3(a), during removal operations. In utilizing minimization efforts
during bridge demolition, the contractor will not allow more than 26 m' (33 yd') of
temporary fill associated with the concrete deck (superstructure) to fall into Salem Creek.
Neither the pier nor the abutments are located in or adjacent to water; therefore, it is not
anticipated that any components of the substructure will result in temporary fill during the
removal of this bridge. Bridge demolition is classified as a Case 3, for which there are no
special restrictions beyond those outlined in BMPs for Protection of Surface Waters and
BMPs for Bridge Demolition and Removal.
Bridge No. 8 carries southbound traffic on Main Street over Salem Creek in
Winston-Salem, Forsyth County. The bridge has two spans totaling 33.8 in (111 ft) in
length. The deck is composed of reinforced concrete deck girders with concrete railings.
The substructure is composed of rock masonry abutments with reinforced concrete caps
and one solid reinforced concrete pier. There is a potential for components of the bridge
to be dropped into waters of the United States during construction. Only 9.4 in (31 ft of
the length of the bridge is over water. In utilizing minimization efforts during bridge
demolition, the contractor will not allow more than 34 m' (44 yd') of temporary fill
associated with the concrete deck (superstructure) to fall into Salem Creek. The concrete
pier and the abutment on the south side of the bridge are located next to water. In a worst
case scenario, up to 54 m3 (70yd3) of temporary fill material associated with the concrete
pier (substructure) and 54 m3 (70 yd') of temporary fill material associated with the rock
masonry abutment (substructure) may fall into Salem Creek. Due to safety and
demolition constraints, the construction contractor may not be able to minimize any of
the substructure's temporary fill material from falling into the stream. Bridge demolition
is classified as a Case 3, for which there are no special restrictions beyond those outlined
in BMPs for Protection of Surface Waters and BMPs for Bridge Demolition and
Removal.
Tim Bassette Page 4 November 1, 2002
Temporary jurisdictional impacts:
Bridge No. 8 will also include the construction of a proposed temporary rock
causeway at Station No. 13+40 -L- to 13+60 -L- (permit drawing 3 of 5). The causeway,
comprised of class II riprap at 1.5:1 slopes, will facilitate the construction of the bridge's
center bent via drilled shaft construction. The causeway will cross the entire creek and
will have two 900 mm CMPs sized to allow the passage of stream flow. The causeway
will temporarily fill 0.029 ha (0.072 ac) of jurisdictional surface waters in Salem Creek
(permit drawing 5 of 5).
In accordance with CWA §404 NWP No. 33 (67 FR 2020, 2085; January 15,
2002), the "Notification" General Condition must include a restoration plan of reasonable
measures to avoid and minimize adverse effects to aquatic resources. The following is
the proposed project's restoration, removal, and disposal plan for Bridge No. 8:
• Restoration Plan: The temporary fill will consist of Class Il riprap. No permanent fill
will result from the subject activity. Following construction of the causeway, the
construction of the interior bent will be completed. After the bent is completed all
material used in the construction of the temporary causeway, including the two 900
mm CMPs, will be removed. Reference elevations are available for the area of
proposed construction of the temporary causeways. In addition, profiles and cross
sections of the streambed have been measured with the data including measurements
of the stream thalweg. The NCDOT will restore the stream to its pre-project contours
and elevations. The temporary impact area associated with the causeway is expected
to recover naturally, since the natural streambed and plant material will not be
removed. The NCDOT does not propose any additional planting in this area. The fill
will be placed and removed with earth moving equipment.
• Schedule: The project schedule calls for a production letting of January 21, 2003
with a projected date of availability of March 1, 2003. It is expected that the
contractor will choose to start construction of the causeway for the bridge on the date
of availability.
• Removal and Disposal Plan: The contractor will be required to submit a reclamation
plan for the removal of and disposal of all materials off-site at an upland location.
The contractor will use excavating equipment to remove the riprap used for the
temporary causeways. Heavy-duty trucks, bulldozers, cranes and various other pieces
of mechanical equipment necessary for construction of roadways and bridges will be
used on site. All material placed in the river will be removed from the river at that
time. The contractor will have the option of reusing any of the riprap that the
engineer deems suitable in the construction of the causeway for the bridge. After the
temporary causeway is no longer needed, all temporary causeway material will
become the property of the contractor.
Tim Bassette Page 5 November 1, 2002
COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
There are no permanent jurisdictional impacts on this project. Consequently, no
compensatory stream or wetland mitigation is required to offset such impacts.

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.
See "Avoidance/Minimization" section of the permit application cover letter.
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 6 of 10
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httr)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
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.
No permanent jurisdictional wetland or stream impacts. Therefore, no compensatory
wetland or stream mitigation is proposed.
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 http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/indcx.htm. 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): 0 linear ft.
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0 ft2.
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0 ac.
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0 ac.
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0 ac.

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.
Buffer mitigation is not required.
Page 8 of 10
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.
Approximately 50%-75% of existing and proposed land uses consist of, or will consist of impervious
surfaces. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be strictly enforced for sedimentation and erosion
control for the protection of surface waters and wetlands.
Pages 10-11 of the project's State FONSI document depict NCDWQ's comment on stormwater
management along Bridge No. 8. The agency's comment specifically states that "stormwater should not
be permitted to discharge directly into the creek ... (and) should be designed to drain to a properly
designed stormwater detention facility/apparatus."
The NCDOT assessed the feasibility of a stormwater detention facility/apparatus during design stages of
Bridge No. 8, but was unable to incorporate such a system in the final design. Stormwater was
discharged away from the stream to the extent practicable. The proposed bridge will directly discharge
stormwater into Salem Creek and the proposed reg enway under Bridge No. 8 via deck draina g /upper
system (15.24 cm (6 in) PVC pipe paced on 3.658 m (12 ft) centers). The NCDOT did not incorporate
a stormwater management system into proposed Bridge No. 8's final design for the following four
reasons:
• The bridge will consist of a pre-stressed cored slab situated on a crest vertical curve with a proposed
grade elevation of +1.2583% and -1.5556%, and a road width of 20.4 m (66.93 ft), not including the
bridge's sidewalks. In order to safely clear stormwater off the cored slab bridge's deck, thereby
reducing potential hydroplaning incidents, the proposed bridge would require a higher grade
elevation and shorter width to eliminate deck drain placement directly over the water. Existing
topography, road elevation, and road width dictate the bridge's currently proposed elevation grade
and width.
• In order to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA floodway regulations, the
proposed grade is held as close as possible to the existing grade. Raising the grade or changing the
superstructure depth affects the overtopping of the structure and raises the upstream water surface
elevation above FEMA requirements.
• Several local citizens requested that the proposed bridge be aesthetically pleasing. A stormwater
gutter/trough placed along the outside of the bridge will not appease to the citizens' aesthetic
concerns.
The NCDWQ characterizes the portion of Salem Creek from the project to the stream's source as
Class C waters. Class C water is suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife,
secondary recreation, and agriculture. This reach of Salem Creek also occurs in a heavily urbanized
portion of Winston-Salem. No water resources classified as High Quality Waters (1HQWs), Water
Supplies (WS-I or WS-II) or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) are located within 1.6 km (1.0
mi) of the project study area.

XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (I 5A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes R No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes E] 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).
Applicant/Agent's Signature Date
(Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)
