The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade Lovings Road (SR 2405) from an unpaved to a paved secondary road to reduce future maintenance needs and increase traffic safety. This activity will result in impacts to a stream due to the replacement and extension of a crossline pipe to facilitate travel lane and shoulder widening. Total project length is 0.8 miles. The replacement, which is occurring in a US water within the Cape Fear River Basin, is as follows: Site Existing Pipe Proposed Pipe Impacts (ft) 1 32-feet of 24-inch RCP 60-feet of 24-inch RCP 28 (en), 10 (tmp), 10 (rp) Cumulative Impacts 28 (en), 10 (tmp), 10 (rp) RCP = reinforced concrete pipe; CMP = Corrugated metal pipe; CMPA = Corrugated metal pipe arch. en = enclosure; trop = temporary, rp = rip rap energy dissipaters placed above ordinary high water.

EASLEY 1584 YANCEYVILLE STREET, GREENSBORO, NC 27415 LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY Permanent impacts will result from stream enclosure and placement of rip rap energy dissipaters above the ordinary high water mark. Rip rap energy dissipaters will be placed on each side of the newly installed pipe (the downstream energy dissipater will be located upstream of the silt screen). The placement of a rock silt screen downstream from the pipe outlet will result in 10 linear feet of temporary impact per crossing. Within 15 working days of the of the pipe replacement activity the rock silt screen will be entirely removed, and natural stream contours will be restored and seeded. On-site detours will not be provided due to the short duration of the pipe replacement activity. Required mitigation is not anticipated, as the impacts do not exceed 150 feet. The project is not located in a High Quality Water. The project will not impact an Essential Fisheries Habitat. No Threatened or Endangered species were observed during field surveys conducted by Len Smith for species known to occur in Rockingham County. Records from the NCDOT Historic Architect indicate that no National Register, Study List, or Determination of Eligibility properties are located within the project area. Secondary impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US, and coordination with the Division Environmental Officer. The NCDOT anticipates that the pipe replacement activities will be authorized under Nationwide Permit 14. This letter is a request for authorization under General Water Quality Certification #3289 from the NC Division of Water Quality. Enclosed, please find seven (7) copies a PCN package for you review. Construction is anticipated to begin as soon as practicable following authorization and take 1 day to complete. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact John Hunsinger at (336) 634-5644 or Len Smith at (336) 375-5589. Your time and effort are appreciated. Sincerely, s? ? . .

Pipe replacement and widening 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 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/iicwetlands/strmgide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated. Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet. The maximum amount of impact to a single stream is 38 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) 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 hM2://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wM/index.htni.

EASLEY GOVERNOR December 13, 2001 Mike Mills, PE Division Engineer 1584 Yanceyville Street Greensboro, NC 27415-4996 CS# 02-16-44 Dear Mr. Mills: (Please Distribute to Division/District Maintenance Engineers and DEO): LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY The NCDOT Ifistoric 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 definitely 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 x298. Sincerely, Richard L. Silverman Attachment MAILING ADDRESS: NC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 1548 MAIL SERVICE CENTER TELEPHONE: 919-733-3141 FAX: 919-733-9794 WESSITE: WWW.DOH.DOT.STATE.WC.US LOCATION: TRANSPORTATION BUILDING 1 SOUTH WILMINGTON STREET RALEIGH NC 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(pe/histarchi/divsunport/ 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, ifyou are not in agreement with the proposed mitigation efforts, please contact Richard Silverman, Division Coordinator at 919-733-7844 x298.

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 environmental 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.
