APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Moose:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed
of 60 linear feet (If) of streams as listed in the table below:
September 18, 2006
DWQ# 06-1435
Union County
impact a total
Location/Station Stream Name Length of Stream Impact
Station 14+15 Unnamed tributary to Brown Creek` 26 linear feet for culvert extension and
rock ladder
Station 18+12 Unnamed tributary to Brown Creek` 18 linear feet for culvert extension
Station 10+70 Unnamed tributary to Brown Creek' 16 linear feet for culvert extension
The impacts will be for the purpose of paving sections of an unpaved, secondary road as described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on September 6, 2006. The location of the project is State Road (SR)
1920 (Zion Church Road) in Union 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 will expire with the associated 404
permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design that you described in your application (unless modified below).
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
listed in the attached certification and those listed below:
Placement of the culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of
the streambed by one (1) foot for a culvert with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert
diameter for a culvert 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. This does not apply to the culvert at Station 14+15 which shall be installed
at a higher elevation with a rock ladder to be constructed at the outfall. DWQ will require the presence of the NCDOT
Division Environmental Officer or Environmental Specialist during the construction of the rock ladder. The
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).
`No stream determination.

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. The use of riprap above the normal high water mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization shall
be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
3. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order minimize sedimentation
and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
4. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification.
5. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic conditions can
be provided.
6. 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.
7. 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 the 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.
8. 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.
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. 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.
11. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized
by this certification.
12. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
13. 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.
14. Native riparian vegetation must be re-established within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
15. 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.
Page 3
16. 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.
17. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer 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.
18. 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 21-1.0503, 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.

Subject: Application for Secondary Road Improvements to SR 1920 (Zion Church Road),
Union County. WBS Element No. 100.090059 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee
$200.00).
Dear Sir or Madam:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade three sections
of SR 1920 (Zion Church Road), in Union County. SR 1920 is an unpaved roadway that will be
upgraded to a paved roadway. Section A (from SR 1921 to Chambers Grove Baptist Church) is
j _ .298 mile, Section B (from SR 1915 going west) is .52 nine, and Section C (from SR 1915 going
east to dead end) is .54 mile.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7, 136-44.7A, 136-
44.8 and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work programs for construction and
maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes specifically set forth requirements for
annual construction and paving of existing unpaved roads. Paving of these roads is performed in
priority order as established by the NCDOT for each unpaved road within a given county. This
number is based on characteristics of each road, including number of homes, schools, churches,
businesses, industries, recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and
value as a thoroughfare. SR 1920 is scheduled for paving in the 2006-2007 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
Protected Species
The subject project has been reviewed for the presence of listed threatened and endangered
species. It has been determined that the construction of this project will have no effect on any
listed plant or animal species.

Impacts to Waters of the United States
This project cannot be completed without impacts to waters of the United States. The project lies
in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin (Hydrologic Unit 9 03040105), affecting the drainage of
unnamed tributaries to Brown Creek. There will be approximately 60 linear feet of permanent
impacts to the existing stream channels as a result of the proposed construction. There is a
second jurisdictional crossing located on Section B (Sta. 25+00) where the cross pipe will be
replaced but it has been determined that tlvs can be done without any additional impacts to the
stream.
Wetland Impacts
There are no wetland impacts that will result from the construction of this project.
Stream Impacts
There are a total of three impacts to perennial streams associated with the construction of this
road. Table 1 includes information related to site number, stream name, existing pipe length (ft),
existing pipe width (in), proposed replacement or extended pipe length (ft) and width (in).

Avoidance/Minimization
All wetlands or 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 or near wetlands or surface waters.
The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible and the proposed roadway adjusted to
lessen the impacts to jurisdictional sites. Sedimentation and erosion control Best Management
Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
2
construction. Continued coordination will occur between maintenance forces and the Division
Environmental Officer during construction in an effort to minimize impacts to jurisdictional sites.
Summary
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization to construct the proposed project under a
Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. GC3404.
If you have any questions or need any additional information concerning this project, please feel

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. Tile proposed impacts have
been limited as much as practical b keeping the shoulder slopes at 2:1 ratio and only increasing
the pipe length on jurisdictional crossilms enough to establish a stable shoulder slope. The
staRina of construction equipment will not be allowed in or near jurisdictional waters on this
project and the sediment and erosion control best management practices for the protection of
wetlands and surface waters will be enforced durinf* all phases of project construction.
Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 211 .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.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's

stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level.
The existinfgravel base on all three sections of SR 1920 measures at least 20 feet in width and
the proposed paved roadway width is 20 feet in width There will not be a net increase in
impervious area if this project is constructed
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
