Division of Water Quality
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received February 22, 2006. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Numbers 3404 and 3366. These certifications correspond to the Nationwide Permit 14 and Nationwide Permit 33
issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B.0250). 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.
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The use of rip-rap above the 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
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, qr other toxic materials.
8. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream\channel except where authorized by this
certification.
9. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
10. NCDOT 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.

11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the
growing season following completion of construction.
15. 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.
16. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. 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 sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased
borrow pits associated with the project.
c. 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.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
17. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlan s or waters to the maximum extent
practical. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlan s and waters is unavoidable, they shall be
removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
18. 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.
19. 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.

20. 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, please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on
how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
21. All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless
otherwise approved by this certification.
22. 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.
23. Pursuant to NCACI5A 2B.0259(6) , sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any
Tar-Pamlico 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.
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. 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 contact Rob Ridings at (919) 733-9817.

SUBJECT: Halifax County, Widening of NC 48
WBS Element: 46494
Dear Sir or Madam:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen and add a
center turn lane to NC 48 in compliance with standard safety design specifications. This
activity will result in impacts to streams due to the replacement and extension of
crossline pipes to facilitate travel lane and shoulder widening. The NCDOT anticipates
that the pipe replacement activities will be authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14
and 33, and temporary losses to the waters will be minimized by the use of sheet pile
cofferdams being placed within the proposed impact area. The sheet pile cofferdams will
be removed immediately upon completion of the crossline pipe replacements. This
application is also intended as request for written authorization from the NC Division of
Water Quality to replace the pipes under General Water Quality Certificate # 3404 (NWP
14). The following information is being provided to satisfy Nationwide Permit Condition

FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) currently list four federally protected species for
Halifax County (Table 1).
Table I- Federally Protected Species of Halifax County
Federal Habitat Biological
Common Name Scientific Name Status Present Conclusion
Red-cockaded Picoides borealis E N No Effect
woodpecker
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus E N No Effect
leucocephalus)
Dwarf wedge mussel Alasmidonta heterodon E N No Effect
Tar spiny mussel Elliptio steinstansana E N No Effect
No element occurrences are listed on the NHP database within one mile of the project
area. During the onsite visit, it was determined that there was no habitat suitable for the
Bald eagle nor were there pine trees suitable for RCW foraging or nesting are in, or
adjacent to, the project area. There was also no habitat suitable for the Dwarf wedge
mussel or Tar spiny mussel. This project is not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of any of the federally protected species listed in Halifax County.
No sites eligible for listing on the National Register occur within the area of potential
effect. This project will not affect listed or eligible historic properties.
MINIMIZATION INFORMATION
Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the
protection of surface waters and wetlands, 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.
MITIGATION INFORMATION
Mitigation for stream impacts will be provided by the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (EEP) per the Memorandum of Agreement dated July 22, 2003.
There are no impacts to wetlands. Total stream impacts (80 LF) will be reported to the
EEP following the end of the quarter as required by the September 1, 2004 guidance from
the U.S. Anny Corp of Engineers District Office in Wilmington.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Jamie
Guerrero at (252) 296-3532. Your time and effort are appreciated.

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
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.
All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary
encroachment. No staging of construction equipment will be allowed in or near wetlands or
waters of the U.S. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Mana ement
Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during projec
construction.
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.
Page 9 of 12
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/ncwctlands/stnngide.htm1.
IX.
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.
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://112o.eiir.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htni. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
Completed: Desktop determination [ Date:
Site visit(s) Datc(s): 3/16/2006
Jurisdictional Determination (JD):
Preliminary JD - Based on available information, ? there appear to be (or) ? there appear to be no "waters of the United States" and/or
"navigable waters of the United States" on the project site. A preliminary JD is not appealable (Reference 33 CFR part 331).
F] Approved JD - An approved JD is an appealable action (Reference 33 CFR part 331).
Check all that apply:
There are "navigable waters of the United States" (as defined by 33 CFR part 329 and associated guidance) within the reviewed area.
Approximate size of jurisdictional area:
There are "waters of the United States" (as defined by 33 CPR part 328 and associated guidance) within the reviewed area.
Approximate size of jurisdictional area: 80 linear feet.
[ There are "isolated, non-navigable, intra-state waters or wetlands" within the reviewed area.
Decision supported by SWANCC/Migratory Bird Rule Information Sheet for Determination of No Jurisdiction.
BASIS OF JURISDICTIONAL DE'T'ERMINATION:
A. Waters defined under 33 CFR part 329 as "navigable waters of the United States":
E] The presence of waters that are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide and/or are presently used, or have been used in
the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
B. Waters defined tinder 33 CFR part 328.3(a) as "waters of the United States":
(I) The presence of waters, which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in
interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
? (2) The presence of interstate waters including interstate wetlands.
® (3) The presence of other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands,
sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate
commerce including any such waters (check all that apply):
? (i) which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes.
? (ii) from which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce.
? (iii) which are or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce.

(5) The presence of a tributary to a water identified in (1) - (4) above.
E (6) The presence of territorial seas.
(7) The presence of wetlands adjacene to other waters orthe US, except for those wetlands adjacent to other wetlands.
Rationale for the Basis of Jurisdictional Determination (applies to any boxes checked above). if the jurisdictional water or wetland is not
itself a navigable water of the United States, describe connection(s) to the downstream navigable waters. If B(1) or B(3) is used as the Basis of
Jurisdiction, document navigability and/or interstate commerce connection (i.e., discuss site conditions, including why the waterbody is
navigable and/or how the destruction of the waterbody could affect interstate or foreign commerce). If B(2, 4, 5 or 6) is used as the Basis of
Jurisdiction, document the rationale used to make the determination. lf'B(7) is used as the Boris of.furisdiction, document the rationale used to
make adjacency determination: Marsh Swamp connects to Beech Swamp which connects to Fishing Creek which connects to the Tar River.
