State Work Order No. 6.652222 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200.00) Dear Mr. Lund: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has previously requested and received permit authorization to upgrade SR 1613, in Anson County under a Nationwide 14. SR 1613 is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway. The total project length is 1.35 miles. Since receiving permit authorization, it has been determined that this project cannot be constructed without additional impacts to an unnamed tributary (station number 69+46.91) of Lanes Creek. The NCDOT originally anticipated that the project could be constructed with an additional 10 feet of impacts to this tributary. Upon further review, it has become apparent that we need to plan for a total of 40 feet of impacts to this tributary to assure that a stable shoulder slope can be established (Table 1.).

Asheville, NC 28801-5006 R, Subject: Secondary Road Improvements to SR 1613 (Lee Road), Anson County. State Work Order No. 6.652222 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200.00) Dear Mr. Lund: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade SR 1613, in Anson County. SR 1613 is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway. The total project length is 1.35 miles. Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7, 136-44.7A, 136- 44.8 and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries, recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a thoroughfare. SR 1613 is scheduled for paving in the 2002-2003 Secondary Roads Construction Program Protected Species r--i I - C-) f -r l ' The subject project has been reviewed for the presence of listed threatened and endangered i species. It has been determined that the construction of this project will have no effect on any a ."_ listed plant or animal species. Impacts to Waters of the United States This project cannot be completed without impacts to waters of the United States. The project area lies in the Yadkin River Basin (Hydrologic Unit # 03040105), affecting the drainage of an unnamed tributary to Lanes Creek. Stream impacts will be incurred from replacing the existing 716 West Main Street, Albemarle, NC 28001 • (704) 982-0101 • Far (704) 982-3146 pipe at station number 69+46.91. There will be approximately 40 linear feet of stream impacts resulting from this pipe replacement, of which, no more than 10 feet will be permanent impacts. The NCDOT previously applied for, and received, authorization (Corps Action Id. 200230411/DWQ Project No. 020113) to replace Bridge 219 with twin 112" x 75" corrugated metal pipes. There were 60 linear feet of stream impacts associated with this project. s Wetland Impact There are no wetland impacts that will result from the construction of this project. tre Impacts There is one stream crossing that will require upgrading as a result of the road improvements, an intermittent channel that drains to Lanes Creek. Table 1 includes information related to site number, stream name, existing pipe length (ft), existing pipe width (in), proposed replacement or extended pipe length (ft) and width (in).

Dewatering The NCDOT does not anticipate the need to temporarily dewater this stream. This pipe replacement will be performed when the stream has no flow and measures will be taken to stabilize any exposed soil in order to reduce the possibility of sediment loss during a rain event. The NCDOT believes that this site can be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 14. Avoidance/Minimization All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or storage of construction supplies will be allowed in or near wetlands or surface waters. The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible and the proposed roadway adjusted to lessen the impacts to jurisdictional sites. Sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project construction. Continued coordination will occur between maintenance forces and the Division Environmental Officer during construction in an effort to minimize impacts to jurisdictional sites. Compensatory Mitigation At this time, the NCDOT does not anticipate the need for compensatory mitigation based upon the limited impacts associated with the construction of this project. 2 Summary The purpose of this letter is to request authorization to construct the proposed project under Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14. Application is also made to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. GC 3375 that is required for this project. If you have any questions or need any additional information concerning this project, please fee free to contact Mr. Larry Thompson, Division Environmental Officer, at (704) 982-0101.

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/ncwetiands/strmgide.htmi. 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 mitigation is proposed for this project. Page 6 of 9 2.

Fullwood, Executive Director TO: Steve Lund, USACOE Asheville Field Office FROM: Maryellen Haggard, DOT Permit ?in t? Habitat Conservation Program DATE: February 1, 2002 SUBJECT: NCDOT bridge replacement of No. 219 on SR 1613 over unnamed tributary to Lanes Creek, Anson County The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting a concurrence letter from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Biologists on staff with the NCWRC have reviewed the proposed improvements and are familiar with habitat values of the project area. 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 Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.). NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 219 with twin metal culverts each measuring 112" x 75". The total pipe length is 60 linear feet. The culvert instillation plus bank stabilization will impact 70 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Lanes Creek. This project has the potential to impact the unnamed tributary through off site sedimentation during construction and blockage of fish movements through improper placement of the culvert. While our preference would be to replace the bridge with another spanning structure, we will not object to the project as proposed provided that the following conditions are implemented: 1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the sunfish spawning season of May 1 through June 30 to protect the egg and fry stages from off-site sedimentation during construction. 2. Disturbance of the stream channel must be limited to only what is necessary to install the culverts. 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. Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries - 1721 Mail Service Center - Raleigh, NC 2 7699-1 72 1 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 - Fax: (919) 715-7643 . Bridge No. 219, SR 1613 2 February 1, 2002 The metal culverts should be constructed so that all water flows through only one cell during low flow to maintain aquatic life passage. At least one culvert should be buried one foot into the substrate. The second culvert should be placed on the floodplain bench and function only when the stream channel is at flood stage. If both cells are buried, water should be diverted through a single cell. 4. Stream conditions above and below the culvert should be maintained at the appropriate widths and depths to provide sediment transport and aquatic life movement. Where disrupted, natural floodplain benching should be restored. 5. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained until project completion. 6. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for streambank stabilization, to minimize the use of riprap (or hard stabilization methods) and to maximize the use of native vegetation for stabilization and shade. 7. Work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact stream water. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the early planning stages.

Payne, P.E., Division Engineer NCDOT Division 10 716 West Main Street Albemarle, NC 28001 Dear Mr. Payne: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 70 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Lanes Creek for the purpose of replacing Bridge No. 219 on SR 1613 (Lee Road) in Anson County. The project must be constructed in accordance with your application dated January 15, 2002 (received January 23, 2002). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3289, 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 if 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. NCDOT shall follow Best Management for the Protection of Surface Waters (March 1997) and comply with the requirements for WS-IV waters as specified in 15A NCAC 2B .0216. 2. Stormwater must be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm water sheet flow. 3. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation must be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control. 4. The culverts shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the original stream and floodplain dimensions are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (widths and depths) are to be maintained above and below locations of the twin culverts to provide sediment transport and passage of aquatic life. The culverts shall be offset so that one pipe receives base flow and is buried one foot into the substrate. Use of rip-rap shall be minimized and shall not impede the ability of aquatic life to move during low flow conditions. North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 401 Wetlands Certification Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 (Mailing Address) 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 (Location) 919-733-1786 (phone), 919-733-6893 (fax), http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/ William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D. Acting Director Division of Water Quality 5. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions. 6. Disturbance of the stream channel must be limited to only what is necessary to perform the culvert installation. 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. 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 which 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 Mr. Ken Averitte of the Fayetteville Regional Office at (910) 486-1541. Sincerely, J T .
