After reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3494 and 3366. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 3 and Nationwide Permit 33 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233). 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.

W A TF9oG Z r Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality 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 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 remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification as well as those listed below. Conditions of Certification: 1. All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless otherwise approved by this certification. 2. All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the preconstruction contours and revegated. Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-woody species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this condition, maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to regular DOT maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non-maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated, with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of construction. 3. Pursuant to NCAC15A 2B.0233(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover, sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow. 4. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, the culvert shall be placed as low as possible and DWQ informed in writing that this was the case. 5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they should be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. 6. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed. 7. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. 8. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers.

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. 10. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage. 11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. 12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream 13. 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. 14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification. 15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydrosecders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 16. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §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. 17. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer and the on-site project manager. 18. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification. 19. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. 20. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 21. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities. 22. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.

For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification as well as those listed below. Conditions of Certification: 1. All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless otherwise approved by this certification. 2. All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the preconstruction contours and revegated. Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-woody species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this condition, maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to regular DOT maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non-maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated, with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of construction. 3.

At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover, sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow. 4. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, the culvert shall be placed as low as possible and DWQ informed in writing that this was the case. 5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they should be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. 6. Riprap should not be placed in the active thahveg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed. 7. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. 8.

Dear Sir: Heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Alberto on June 14, 2006 caused extensive damage to the existing structure conveying Horse Creek on SR 1177 (Nottingham Road) in Franklin County. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace the structure. Impacts to Waters of the United States The project crosses Horse Creek, [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-17-(03), Best Usage Classification C NSW; HUC 03020201] (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 142" x 91" corrugated metal pipe arch that is SO feet long. The existing undersized structure is damaged and cannot be repaired. The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with 2@ 90" corrugated metal pipes that are 80 feet long. One structure will be located within the footprint of the existing structure and will serve to convey normal every-day water flow. The other structure will be installed as a floodplain pipe. Extensive surficial streambed rock has been observed at the project site, which may affect the burial of these structures. The existing floodplain adjacent to the inlet and outlet of the proposed floodplain pipe will be excavated to allow the movement of water through the structure during high-water events. This area will be lined with rip rap. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during construction for approximately three weeks. This will involve the temporary placement of sheet piling at the construction limits of the project. To maintain water flow during construction, water upstream of the sheet piling will be temporarily pumped out by a hose and conveyed Division 5,2612 N.

The effluent from the work area will be pumped into a prefabricated silt bag allowing water to slowly filter out of the bag in a dispersed manner and the sediment to be captured in the bag. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. The sheet piling will be removed after construction. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure involve a total of 149 linear feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. Note that the majority of this rip rap will be used to stabilize the excavated portion of the floodplain and adjacent streambank. Temporary (concurrent) impacts will include the dewatering of 149 linear feet of stream. Riparian Buffer Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Neese River Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream is depicted on the most recent version of the Grissom (USGS 1978, 1987) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) as well as the Franklin County Soil Survey (LJSDA-MRCS, 2004) (Figure 2). Construction impacts at this site total 8,243.5 square feet in Zone 1 and 3,592.1 square feet in Zone 2 (totaling 149 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is ALLOWABLE. Temporary erosion control measures will be installed as required within the pemutted buffer footprint. Waters of the U.S. Mitigation Avoidance- All wetlands and 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 wetlands or near surface waters. Minimization: Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the Environmental Supervisor during construction to minimize impacts to these sites. Compensatory Mitigation: Mitigation will not be required for construction of this project. Summary The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing 142" x 91" corrugated metal pipe arch with 2@ 90" corrugated metal pipes. One structure will be located within the footprint of the existing structure and will serve to convey normal every-day water flow. The other structure will be installed as a floodplain pipe.

Note that the majority of this rip rap will be used to stabilize the excavated portion of the floodplain and adjacent streambank. Temporary (concurrent) impacts will include the dewatering of 149 linear feet of stream. Riparian buffer impacts at this site total 8,243.5 square feet in Zone 1 and 3,592.1 square feet in Zone 2 (totaling 149 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is ALLOWABLE.

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 January 15, 2002; 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 NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
