Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality October 11, 2006 Hyde County DWQ Project No. 20020388 v.2 MODIFICATION of APPROVAL of 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS Mr. Anthony Roper, P.E. NCDOT, Division 1 113 Airport Drive Suite 100 Edenton, NC 27932 Dear Mr. Roper: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, for the following impacts: Site Number Wetlands (acres) Fill/ Fill Excavation Buffer Zone 1 (square ft) Buffer Zone 2 (square ft) Streams (linear feet) 1 0.013 0 0 0 0 2 0 0.088 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 12 Net Total Impacts 0.101 acres 0 square feet 12 ft The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application date August 28, 2006 for the purpose of the widening and paving of, and a pipe replacement on, SR 1109 (Marsh Road) in Hyde County. All the authorized activities and conditions associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated April 25, 2002 and all subsequent modifications still apply except where superceded by this certification. 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 issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (this supercedes Condition 19 of General Certification 3404 issued on March, 2003). 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. 1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ 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 Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. None Caroppa. N. C.

FAX (252) 946-9215 Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper 2.) 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. 3.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 4.) No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification. 5.) 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. 6.) Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 7.) There shall be no waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities. 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. 9.) 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.) Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, 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. 12.) 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. 13.) 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. 14.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1. 15.) 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 AV 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. 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. 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, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. 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.

NCDOT is requesting the issuance of a NW 14 permit and 401 Water Quality Certification for wetland impacts associated with the construction of Secondary Road SR 1109 in Hyde County. This road is an existing gravel road with a 16-foot travel way. The proposed upgrade will increase the travel width by 2 feet on the north side. This will result in an 18-ft. roadway surface with shoulders varying in width from 3- 4 feet. Drainage improvements will include pipe replacements and roadside drainage ditches as shown on the provided permit drawings. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands will be 0.013 acres of Coastal Marsh and 0.088 acres of Pine Plantation, which totals to 0.101 acres. Wetland impacts have been through two efforts of minimization. Each effort involved reducing the shoulder widths, roadside ditches, and changing the alignment. The 0.101 acres of wetland impact are unavoidable and mitigation for these impacts will be provided through the Ecological Enhancement Program. This project is being reviewed by the SHPO for any issues involving historic/archeological resources. The project will also be reviewed by the U.S.F.W.S. for compliance with the Endangered Species Act. There is suitable habitat for one listed species in the project area. This species is Sensitive Joint-Vetch (Aeschynomene virginica) which occurs in tidal rivers, creeks where sediments accumulate and extensive marshes form. The project area consist of man-made tidal ditches and naturally formed marshes that are suitable habitat for this species. A survey for this species was conducted on August 8, 2006 by Clay Willis. The species was not found in the project area and a conclusion of "Not Likely to Adversely Effect" was determined. A letter is being sent to the U.S.F.W.S. for concurrence on this determination. Included with this letter is the Preconstruction Notification Form, permit drawings, location map and aerial photo depicting the project area. If you have questions about the project or need additional information please call Clay Willis at 252-482-7977.

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 upgrades to road are on existim! alienment. This proiect has aone throueh two efforts of minimization. Both efforts involved reducing the footprint of the roadway. The original design including _using all of the right-of-way to build the road with 6 ft. shoulders and ditches on either side and realigning a curve. The realignment was done away with along with smaller shoulders and some of the roadside ditches were eliminated. It was also determined the widening could occur to the north side of the road, which reduced wetland impacts. 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. Page 7 of 12 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 httn://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmi,,ide.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.

NCDOT is requesting the issuance of a NW 14 permit and 401 Water Quality Certification for wetland impacts associated with the construction of Secondary Road SR 1109 in Hyde County. This road is an existing gravel road with a 16-foot travel way. 1 he proposed upgrade will increase the travel width by 2 feet on the north side. This will result in an 18-ft. roadway surface with shoulders varying in width from 3- 4 feet. Drainage improvements will include pipe replacements and roadside drainage ditches as shown on the provided permit drawings. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands will be 0.013 acres of Coastal Marsh and 0.088 acres of Pine Plantation, which totals to 0.101 acres. Wctland impacts have been through two efforts of minimization. Each effort involved reducing the shoulder widths, roadside ditches, and changing the alignment. The 0.101 acres of wetland impact are unavoidable and mitigation for these impacts will be provided through the Ecological Enhancement Program. This project is being reviewed by the SHPO for any issues involving histeric/archeological resources. The project will also be reviewed by the U.S.F.W.S. for compliance with the Fndangered Species Act. There is suitable habitat for one listed species in the project area. This species is Sensitive Joint-Vetch (Aeschynomene virginica) which occurs in tidal rivers, creeks where sediments accumulate and extensive marshes form. T2te project area consist of man-made tidal ditches and naturally formed marshes that arc suitable habitat for this species. A survey for this species wav conducted on August 8, 2006 by Clay Willis. The specics was not found in the project area and a conclusion of "Not Likely to Adversely Effect" was determined. A letter is being sent to the U.S.F.W.S_ for concurrence on this determination. Included with this letter is the Prtconstruction Notification Form, permit drawings, location map and aerial photo depicting the project area. if you have questions about the project or need additional information please call Clay Willis at 252-482-7977.

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 upgrades to road are on existing, alignment This project has stone through two efforts of minimization Both efforts involved reducing he footprint of the roadway. The ori ginal design including using all of the right-of-way to build the road with 6 ft shoulders and ditches on_either side and realigning a curve The realignment was done away with along with smaller shoulders and some of the roadside ditches were eliminated It was also determined the widening could occur to the north side of the road which reduced wetland imuncts. 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 freshwate=r wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams.
