APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality. Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Holder:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 75 linear feet (If) (for culvert extension/realignment and stream reconstruction and bank stabilization at
the inlet) and to temporarily impact 130 If (for a temporary cofferdam) of an unnamed tributary* to the South
Fork Catawba River to replace an existing, deteriorating culvert as described in your application received by
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on June 22, 2006. The location of the project is State Road 1268 (River
Road) in Lincoln 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 diameter less than 48 inches, to allow for low flow passage of water and
aquatic life, as well as prevent headcutting of the streams. 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

SUBJECT: Pipe replacement on SR 1268 (River Road), Lincoln County
Dear Mr. Hennessy:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace a deteriorating pipe on SR
1268 (River Road) in Lincoln County. An existing 55-foot, 60" CMP will be replaced with a 70-
foot, 72" CMP with inlet and outlet headwall and associated riprap for structure protection. The
downstream section of stream channel has extremely unstable, eroding stream banks. Due to the
unstable condition of the downstream section, the new pipe will be installed on a skewed
alignment, which will result in -50 feet of unstable channel to be filled. The skewed alignment
will prevent continued bank erosion and sediment loading to the stream. The abandoned
downstream section of stream channel will be filled and a bench and bank will be restructured
and matted, seeded and stabilized. A channel will be restructured at the outlet of the new pipe to
reconnect to the downstream channel section. The upstream channel section is also unstable and
is actively headcutting; a 4-foot headcut if visible approximately 20 feet upstream of the existing
pipe. To provide stream connectivity, NCDOT proposes to reconstruct the channel bed below the
headcut by filling the channel with large rocks and salvaged streambed material. Due to the
incised, unstable nature of the upstream channel, there is a concern that without the utilization of
bed and bank armoring, that stream will continue to headcut and incise. The rock in the bed and
bank will be placed in such a way as to maintain "normal" channel dimensions. There are
currently several large concrete slabs in the upstream channel and along the upstream bank. These
concrete slabs will be removed and properly disposed. The pipe will be buried one foot below the
existing streambed elevation based upon the restructured streambed elevation. The scope of the
work will result in a 70 feet of permanent impacts and 130 feet of temporary impacts to an
unnamed tributary to the South Fork Catawba River, which is classified as a WS-IV watershed by
the Division of Water Quality. 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 %2 mile of any critical watershed area nor is SR 1268 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.

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and
associated rip-rap, dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before
and after, and net loss/gain), stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation,
ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the
original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the
nearest downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616,
or online at www.usgs.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g.,
www.topozone.com, www.mgquest.com, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: Permanent impacts = 70
feet, Temporary Impacts = 130 feet.
4. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic
Ocean and any other water of the U.S.) below: 0

5. Pond Creation: NO POND IMPACTS
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.
The new pipe will be placed at a skewed alignment in an attempt to better align the new pipe to
the stream channel and also to allow for the construction of a bench and stable bank at the
existing eroding downstream bank. A new channel will be restructured to connect the outlet of
the newly aligned pipe to the downstream channel. The upstream channel is incised and is
actively headcutting A headcut is visible -20 feet upstream of the pipe. NCDOT proposes to
reconstruct the channel bed to provide connectivity. Due to the incised unstable nature of the
upstream channel NCDOT feels it is necessary to armor the bed and bank (-2-3 ft up the bank)
to prevent the headcut from reoccurring. There are currently several large concrete slabs in the
channel and along the upstream bank. The concrete slabs will be removed and properly
disposed.
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 5 of 8
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
hqp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
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.
MITIGATION NOT ANTICIPATED
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. 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):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ® No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
