APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Holder:
June 16, 2006
DWQ# 06-0894
Gaston County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 20 linear feet (If) (for culvert extension and riprap inlet and outlet stabilization) and to temporarily impact
25 If (for a temporary cofferdam) of an unnamed tributary* to Dutchmans Creek to replace an existing,
deteriorating culvert as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on June
6, 2006. The location of the project is State Road 3223 (Walk-A-Long Way) in Gaston County. After reviewing
your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification
Number 3404. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with
your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and
Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design that you described in your application (unless modified
below) and will expire with the associated USACE 404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality
Certification. Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and you may be required to
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 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 remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions in the attached certification and those listed below:
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands must be below the elevation of
the streambed by one (1) foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the
culvert diameter for culverts having a diamete"r less than 48 inches, to allow for low flow passage of water and
aquatic life, as well as prevent headcutting of the streams. If bedrock is encountered in the stream
channel at the location of the culvert installation, DWQ will not require the burial of the culvert.
However, design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control
measures shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered (i.e., the depth
of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including
pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The applicant may be
required to provide evidence that the equilibrium has been maintained, if requested in writing by the DWQ.
2. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark and
vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water mark.

3. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel, when possible, in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
4. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic
conditions can be provided.
5. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
6. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified.
Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
7. 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.
8. All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
9. Discharging hydroseeding mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is strictly prohibited.
10. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of
such BMP in order to protect surface water standards:
a. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow pit sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
b. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface
Mining Manual.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
11. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within 30 days after the Division of Land Resources has
released the project.
12. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and its contractors and/or agents shall not
excavate, fill or perform mechanized land clearing at any time in the construction or maintenance of this
project within waters and/or wetlands, except as authorized by this Certification, or any modification to this
Certification (e.g., no work shall occur outside of the footprint of the plans provided). In addition, there shall
be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
Certification without appropriate modification. If this occurs, compensatory mitigation may be required since it
is a direct impact from road construction activities.
13. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. Please
include photographs upstream and downstream of the structure to document correct installation.

Page 3
14. Continuing Compliance. NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner so as not to contravene any state
water quality standard [including any requirements for compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act]
and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or
laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that state or federal
law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate
and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and
requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify
NCDOT and the USACE, 'provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide
opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall
be provided to NCDOT in writing, shall be provided to the USACE for reference in any permit issued pursuant
to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for 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 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 Polly Lespinasse in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-
1699.

SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), SR3223, Walk-A-Long
Way, Unnamed Tributary Taylors Creek (WS-IV), Gaston County
NCDOT proposes to remove and replace a deteriorating pipe that was previously incorrectly
installed. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are familiar with
habitat values in the 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
North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 113A-10; NCAC 25). Removal
of the existing bridge will not impact waters.
The project will replace an existing 40-foot, double 60" CMP with a 50-foot, 112" x 75" CMPA
with an inlet headwall and ten (10) feet of riprap. The new pipe will be buried approximately a
foot. Temporary dewatering will be necessary.
Based on our review of the submittal, we will not object to project as proposed provided the
following conditions are implemented:
1. Culverts 48" or larger should be buried a foot into the streambed. Culverts less than
48 inches in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% their
size to allow for aquatic life passage. These measurements must be based on natural
thalweg depths to the extent practicable.
2. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the crossing
should not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the
stream. Natural channel dimensions should be provided upon work completion.
3. Any riprap used must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low flow or
drought conditions.

4. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not
contact stream water.
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. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil
within ten (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.

SUBJECT: Pipe replacement on SR 3223 (Walk-A-Long Way), Gaston County
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace a deteriorating, incorrectly
installed pipe on SR 3223 (Walk-A-Long Way) in Gaston County. An existing 40-foot, double
60" CMP will be replaced with a 50-foot, 112" x 75" CMPA with inlet headwall and 10 feet of
associated riprap for structure protection. NCDOT proposes to bury the pipe at least one foot
below the existing streambed elevation as show on the enclosed thalweg profile. Bedrock is
visible in the stream downstream of the existing pipe; therefore, proper pipe burial may become
an issue once construction begins. The scope of the work will result in a 20 feet of permanent
impacts and 25 feet of temporary to an unnamed tributary to Taylors Creek, which is classified as
a WS-IV Watershed by the Division of Water Quality. The pipe is located on a dead-end road;
therefore, it will be necessary to construct the pipe in a phased construction. Temporary
cofferdams and bypass piping will be utilized for stream management during the pipe
replacement. Upon project completion, the area impacted by the temporary cofferdam will be
restored to pre-project conditions.
The project is not located within '/s mile of any critical watershed area nor is SR 3223 a rural or
urban arterial; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the hazardous spill
basin checklist. This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for the project and is
recommending a finding of "no effect" for T&E species and historical structures.
I have enclosed a pre-construction notification for a NW#14, sketches of planned activities, and
location maps relative to the project.
Project information for the 401 Automated Payment Procedure is as follows:

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.
There will be only minor increase in pipe length. The minimum amount of rock necessar?to
protect the structure will be used.
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
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htm1.
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)
watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
