Upgrade of SR 1208A/1209A (Matt Dillion/Cartwright Drive)
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 42 linear feet and incur 40 linear feet of temporary impacts to an unnamed tributary to Little
Hogan's Creek in order to upgrade SR 1208A/1209A (Matt Dillion/Cartwright Drive) in Rockingham
County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated October 8, 2002
(received October 21, 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. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
2. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
3. 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.
4. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.
5. NCDOT is encouraged to use existing on-site vegetation and materials for stream bank stabilization
and to minimize the use of rip rap.
6. The pipe 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 the culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to allow for fish and other
wildlife movement as well as prevent headcutting of the streams.
7. NCDOT must submit a plan for written DWQ approval to address any headcutting that will occur as a
result of this project.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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

SUBJECT: Rockingham County, Upgrade of Matt Dillion/Cartwright Drive (SR 1208A/1209A)
from an unpaved secondary road to a paved secondary road. State Project Number:
6.512112T
To Whom It May Concern:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade Matt
Dillion/Cartwright Drive (SR 1208A/1209A) 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. The NCDOT anticipates that the pipe replacement activity will be authorized under
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and the dewatering operation 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 pipe 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.

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.
Pipe replacement activities are necessary 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/strmaide.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 o_f insignificant impact is anticipated; therefore, a mitigation plan is not provided.
Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet. The maximum amount of permanent impact to a
single stream is 42 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.

Construction Sequence and Erosion Control Plan for Replacement of
Pipe with Pipe using an On-site Detour - Rockingham County, SR 1209
Work to begin as soon as practicable following authorization.
Construction is anticipated to take 2 weeks.
1. Install a rock silt dam downstream of the work area to prevent incidental sediment
loss.
2. Install sand bagsor a less intrusive dewatering device to allow dewatering of the work
area.
3. Install pumps to divert flow around the work area.
4. Place a temporary extension at one end of the existing pipe to allow a travel lane
shift.
5. Place a temporary detour over the temporary extension.
6. Opposite the detour, remove existing RC pipe to at least the centerline of the
roadway.
7. Excavate to sufficient depth to allow 20% burial of the pipe, place base stone, and
sections of 60' long 36" RC pipe.
8. Backfill the new section of pipe and place riprap only as needed.
9. Place the temporary detour over the new sections of pipe.
10. Remove remaining sections of pipe.
11. Excavate to sufficient depth to allow 20% burial of the pipe, place base stone, and
sections of 60' long 36" RC pipe.
12. Backfill the new section of pipe and place riprap riprap only as needed.
13. Remove the dewatering device and restore the natural stream contours.
14. Place final roadway in desired location.
