Box 250 North Wilkesboro, NC 28659 Dear Mr. Slaughter: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 60 linear feet of unnamed tributaries to Little Fisher River in order to improve SR 1423 (Clover Lane) in Surry County: The project must be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 14, 2002 (received May 21, 2002). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3375, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you must 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 valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and submit 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) 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. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 2. NCDOT is encouraged to use existing on-site vegetation and materials for stream bank stabilization and to minimize the use of rip rap. 3. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream and floodplain above and below the structure shall not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. 4. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions. 5. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. 6. 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. 7. 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.

As you can see from the cover letter, we plan on replacing the 36" pipe at station 61+05 with a 48" pipe. Burying new wet pipes 20% (up to 1 foot max.) is one of our BMPs and applies to all of our projects. The only time that this would not apply is if the slope going through the pipe is greater than 6% or if bedrock is present. If bedrock is present, we coordinate with the regulatory agencies and see if they would prefer that we blast or place the new pipe at grade. If either of these exceptions are present, I try to address that in my cover letter. I do not anticipate any problems with burying this pipe so we should be in good shape. Let me know if you need additional information.

The total project length is approximately 1.1 miles. This project will require the replacement of one (1) wet cross line as shown below: 1) Replace existing 40'x 36" CMP at station 61+05 with an 80'x 48" BCCS pipe. Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 20 linear ft. or less. New stream impacts = 60 linear ft. ** Please note that the existing wet crossing at station 38+40 will remain unchanged. Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States in the Yadkin River Basin. The above noted wet cross line carries an unnamed tributary to Little Fisher River (Class: Q. The Division 11 Environmental Officer inspected this project for the presence of threatened and endangered species on May 14, 2002. The subject project has been determined to have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal species. Historic compliance work will be scheduled and concurrence with the State Historic Preservation Office will be obtained if required. Since this is an existing roadway, the modifications proposed in this application should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Any widening of the existing roadway will be directed away from any adjacent creek whenever possible with minimum fill placed in any buffer P. 0. Box 250, N.

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. Since this is an existing road, the maintenance impacts are unavoidable. The proposed project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. By utilizing the erosion control measures outlined in the attachments to this application, downstream water quality standards will be protected. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction. Page 7 of 12 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 op 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/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. No wetlands will be impacted. Stream impacts will not exceed 150 linear feet on any one water body. Page 8 of 12 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/?s? dex.htm.

TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Jean Manuele, USACOE Raleigh Regulatory Field Office Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program May 22, 2002 North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), NCSR1423, Clover Lane, Unnamed Tributary Little Fisher River, Surry County FILE COPY The NCDOT proposes to replace an existing pipe structure when they grade, base and pave the referenced roadway. These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through I I3A-10; NCAC 25). Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are familiar with habitat values in the area. NCDOT proposes to replace the existing 40' x 36" CMP at Station 61+05 with and 80' x 48" BCCS pipe. Miscellaneous riprap impacts are indicated to be 20 linear feet. Total impacts will be 60 feet. Rainbow and brown trout are anticipated to occur in this general area. Small mouth bass are also anticipated. Based on our review of the submittal and our knowledge of trout in the area, we will not object to the project provided the following conditions are implemented: 1. Instream and buffer zone activities are prohibited during the fish spawning season of May 1 through July 15 to prevent off-site sedimentation from impacting fish eggs and fry downstream of the site. 2. Culverts 48" or larger should be buried F into the streambed (depth base on the natural thalweg). 3. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the lower cell should not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the NCSR1423, UT Little Fisher River 2 May 22, 2002 depth of the stream. Previously disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions whenever practicable. 4. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill. 5. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. 6. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained until project completion. 7.= Temporaryor'permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for streambank stabilization when practicable. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the early planning stages. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.
