Gibson July 5, 2006 Page 2 The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 30, 2006, received June 9, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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 the following: Additional Conditions: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to preven contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification. Mr. Terry R. Gibson July 5, 2006 Page 3 Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 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. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized by this certification. 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. 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. 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. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 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. 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. 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. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 federal permit. This condition supercedes condition No. 19 in General Certification No. 3404. Mr. Terry R. Gibson July 5, 2006 Page 4 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.

Total project length is 0.39 mile. The roadway will be widened from 16 feet to 20 feet and stabilized grass shoulders (6 foot) will be provided. This project will require the replacement of one (1) wet cross line as shown below: Crossing Roadway Station Existing Culvert Extension Crossing #1 Sta. 7+73 24 LF 18" RCP 20 LF 18" RCP New stream impacts = 20 linear feet Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Cape Fear River Basin. Crossing 41 will convey an UT to Lower Little River (C). The Hydrologic classification unit for this area is 03030004. The Lower Little River is classified as 303(d) water, located in the subbasin 03-06-14 with an assessment unit of (18-23-24). This area has a standard violation of low pH, with an unknown source. Wetland #1 was identified at Sta. 01+50 with marginal hydrology. This area is very close to the 60-foot right-of-way. Minimal impacts are expected: approximately 65.36 ft2 (0.0015 Ac.) Red Maple and Sweetgum dominated the shrub stratum. Due to a recent timber clearing operation, the dominant tree species have not reach the 3" DBH necessary for trees. Grantham (Gr) soil was mapped in this area according to the Harnett County Soil Survey (MRCS). Soils P. O. Box 1150, Fayetteville, NC 28302-1150 - Telephone (910) 437-0208- Fax (910) 486-1959 46 here are poorly drained an often form in Coastal Plain sediments. The soil profile was a close match for the described soil unit. Crossing #1 is situated at Sta. 07+73. This channel is an intermittent UT to the Lower Little River that is conveyed by the existing 24 LF 18" RCP. While the culvert is functioning properly, it will be extended during construction. The tributary area of the UT consists of forested uplands/wetlands that have recently endured a logging operation. Wetland #2 will have minimum impacts along this section, 1044.33 ft2 (0.0239 Ac.) wetlands will be impacted. This area also was dominated by red maple/sweetgum shrub stratum. All species were less than 3" DBH. The soils were saturated to within 12 inches and secondary indicators were noted. Grantham soil was mapped in this area. The improvements to SR-2023 will impact upon 20 LF of streams and 0.025 acres of Non- Riverine wetlands. At the culvert crossing, sidecast spoil material located both upstream and downstream will be removed. The removal will open up the channel area, and reduce outlet velocities while improving the aesthetic value of the crossing. RESOURCE STATUS In general, there will be minor impacts proposed as a result of the culvert replacement along SR- 2023 (Holiday Rd.) in Harnett County. Twenty (20) linear feet of stream impacts are expected, along with 0.025 acre of wetland impacts. Jurisdictional Wetlands were observed within the NCDOT right-of-way. A Nationwide Permit #14 / NCDENR 401 WQC 3404 is required for the project. Endangered Species: Plants and animals with Federal classification of Endangered (E) or Threatened (T) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of January 29, 2003, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists four federally protected species for Harnett County. Federally Protected Species for Harnett County SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS Notropis Mekistocholas Cape Fear Shiner E Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker E Isotria medeoloides Small-Whorled pogonia T Lysimachia asperulaefolia Rough-leaved loosestrife E Alligator mississippiensis American alligator T(S/A) Rhus michauxii Michaux's sumac E "E" denotes Endangered (a species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range). T(S/A)- Threatened due to similarity of appearance, a species that is threatened Due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its Protection. These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and Are not subject to Section 7 consultation. A biological conclusion of "No Effect" was reached for all species during the May 23, 2006 survey for protected species. Protected species were not identified, nor, was the general habitat for each species identified. REGULATORY APPROVALS Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit 14 / NCDENR 401 WQC 3404 as required by the above-described activities. The National Register was reviewed in addition to conducting a field view of the project for significant historic features. The project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Pipe sizes proposed are the minimum necessary to create a safe highway while accommodating the 25-year design storm. There is no record within the NCDOT District 2 Office (Harnett County) that the road experiences floods overtopping. By utilizing the erosion control measures, downstream water quality standards will be protected. All appropriate BMP's will be utilized during construction. Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets, marked county road map, quad location map and photographs.

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 Page 9 of 12 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/newetlands/strmgide.html. 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. Mitigation will be provided by EEP via quarterly report.

Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify, )? . Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 3 2 1.5 Total * Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or. 0260. XI.
