Attention: Mr, Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Proposed emergency repair of a structure conveying an unnamed tributary
to Middle Creek on SR 1404 (Johnson Pond Road) in Wake County.
Heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Alberto on June 14, 2006 have resulted in
damage to an existing structure conveying an unnamed tributary to Middle Creek on
SR 1404 (Johnson Pond Road) in Wake County. Flooding in the area of this cross line
caused the first joint on the inlet end to disconnect and the roadway shoulders above both
ends of the pipe have failed. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
proposes to repair the structure and the associated roadway shoulders (Figures l - 3),
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The project crosses a perennial stream, an unnamed tributary to Middle Creek,
[NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-43-15-(4), Hest Usage Classification C NSW; HUC
03020201] (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the
creek is a 48-inch concrete pipe that is 56 feet long. Please note that the existing structure
has separated on the inlet end and roadway shoulders above both ends of this pipe have
failed. In order to repair the roadway shoulders, the first joint on the inlet end of this
structure will need to be reset. Once the pipe end is reset, the associated roadway
shoulders will be rebuilt and the area surrounding the pipe ends will be stabilized using;
rip rap for armoring. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during
the construction. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek
upstream and downstream of construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe
will be repaired. Permanent impacts at the site involve no surface water fill but will
require 20 feet of rip rap placed along the stream banks to protect the pipe ends. The
work zone will be dewatered for approximately 3 days. Temporary impacts to the stream
from this activity will result in the dewatering of 35 linear feet of stream. Please note the
located of the sheet piling; on the downstream side. By dewatering; to beyond the stone
that was washed away from our roadway shoulder, NCDOT will be able to remove this
stone from the stream channel while the site is dewatered. The materials used for
dewatering will be removed after construction. Please note that wetland areas do exist

adjacent to this project site- However no impacts to wetlands are proposed with this
repair.
Riparian Buffer
Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The UT to Middle Creek at Site 1 is depicted on the
most recent version of the Lake Wheeler (USGS 1964/1987) topographic quadrangle
(Figure 1) as well as the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2).
Construction impacts at this site total 2,066 fe in Zone 1 and 1,380 R2 in Zone 2 (totaling
35 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at
this site, this crossing is EXEMPT.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance:. All wetlands and 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 wetlands or near surface waters.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional
sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices
for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the
Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
Compensatory Mitigation: All compensatory mitigation requirements will be left to the
discretion of the regulatory review agencies.
Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
Endangered, and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the ESA. There are four federally protected species listed for Wake County.
They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoide_s
borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterdon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhos
michauxii). The project site is not adjacent to nor is it surrounded by open water suitable of
supporting foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The dense woodland surrounding this roadway
do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker. Roadway
shoulders along this section of SR 1404 are heavily maintained, eliminating the possibility
for Michaux's sumac To exist in this area. Additionally, the ponded habitat of this UT does
not provide suitable habitat for dwarf wedgemussel. Based on lack of suitable habitat
observed during the 06120i06 site visit, biological conclusions of No Effect have been
Tendered for each of these species.
Summary
The NCDOT proposes to repair the existing structure and rebuild the roadway shoulders.
Permanent impacts at the site associated with this repair work involve no surface water
fill but will require a total of 20 feet of rip rap placed along the streambanks to protect the
pipe ends. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 3 days. Temporary impacts

to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 35 linear feet of stream. The
materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Riparian buffer impacts at
Site 1 associated with this maintenance activity total 2,066 ft in Zone 1 and 1,380 ftZ in
Zone 2 (totaling 35 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the
riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is EXEMPT.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 3 and NWP 33. Additionally, this application provides notification to the
NCDWQ as Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3494 and No. 3366
will be utilized for construction of this project. The NCDOT will comply with all
applicable NWP and WQC conditions. A. pre-construction notification is attached with

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 211.0506 (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.
Conditions of Certification:
1. All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless
otherwise approved by this certification.
2. 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.
3. Pursuant to NCACI5A 2B.0233(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any
Neuse 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.
4. 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, the culvert shall be placed as low as possible and
DWQ informed in writing that this was the case.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
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. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the
growing season following completion of construction.
21. 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.
22. 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.

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Proposed emergency repair of a structure conveying an unnamed tributary
to Middle Creek on SR 1404 (Johnson Pond Road) in Wake County.
Heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Alberto on June 14, 2006 have resulted in
damage to an existing structure conveying an unnamed tributary to Middle Creek on
SR 1404 (Johnson Pond Road) in Wake County. Flooding in the area of this crossline
caused the last joint on the outlet end to disconnect and the roadway shoulders above
both ends of the pipe have failed. The North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) proposes to repair the structure and the associated roadway shoulders (Figures
1-3).
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The project crosses a perennial stream, an unnamed tributary to 'bowery Creek,
[NCDENR-DWQ 'Index. No. 2716.7(1), Best Usage Classification WS-IV NSW; IOC
030202011 (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the
creek is a 24-inch concrete pipe that is 34 feet long. Please note that the existing structure
has separated on the outlet end and roadway shoulders above both ends of this pipe have
failed. In order to repair the roadway shoulders, the last joint on the outlet end of this
structure will need to be reset and one four foot joint will be added to the inlet end of this
structure. Once the pipe ends are set, the associated roadway shoulders will be rebuilt and
the area surrounding the pipe ends will be stabilized using riprap for armoring. The
NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the construction. This
will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek upstream and downstream
of construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be repaired.
Permanent impacts at the site involve a total of 4 feet of surface water fill and 20 feet of
rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the pipe ends. The work zone will be
dewatered for approximately 3 days. Temporary impacts to the stream from this activity
will result in the dewatering of 31 linear feet of stream. Please note the located of the
sheetpiling on the downstream side. By dewatering to beyond the stone that was washed
away from our roadway shoulder, NCDOT will be able to remove this stone from the
Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704

stream channel while the site is dewatered. The materials used for dewatering will be
removed after construction. Please note that wetland areas do exist adjacent to this project
site. However no impacts to wetlands are proposed with this repair.
Riparian Buffer
Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The UT to Middle Creek at Site 1 is depicted on the
most recent version of the Lake Wheeler (USGS 1964/1987) topographic quadrangle
(Figure 1) as well as the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2).
Construction impacts at this site total 2,066 ft2 in Zone 1 and 1,380 fr2 in Zone 2 (totaling
35 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at
this site, this crossing is EXEMPT.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands and 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 wetlands or near surface waters.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional
sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices
for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the
Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
Compensatory Mitigation: All compensatory mitigation requirements will be left to the
discretion of the regulatory review agencies.
Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
Endangered, and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the ESA. There are four federally protected species listed for Wake County.
They include bald eagle (Haliaeenrs leucocephalus), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides
borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonra heterdon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhirs
michauxii). The project site is not adjacent to nor is it surrounded by open water suitable of
supporting foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The dense woodland surrounding this roadway
do not ofTer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker. Roadway
shoulders along this section of SR 1404 are heavily maintained, eliminating the possibility
for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area. Additionally, the ponded habitat of this UT does
not provide suitable habitat for dwarf wedgemussel. Based on lack of suitable habitat
observed during the 06/20/06 site visit, biological conclusions of No Effect have been

dewatered for approximately 3 days. Temporary impacts to the stream from this activity
will result in the dewatering of 35 linear feet of stream. The materials used for dewatering
will be removed after construction. Riparian buffer impacts at Site l associated with this
maintenance activity total 2,066 f 2 in Zone 1 and 1,380 ft in Zone 2 (totaling 35 linear
feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site,
this crossing is EXEMPT.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 3 and NWP 33. Additionally, this application provides notification to the
NCDWQ as Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3494 and No. 3366
will be utilized for construction of this project. The NCDOT will comply with all
applicable NWP and WQC conditions. A pre-construction notification is attached with
this request. If you have any questions or need additional inforination, please contact

Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
it is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems,
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Dewaterin rg the stream is necessary to
repair the pine end Once the pipe ioint is reset the NCDOT will repair the existins roadway
shoulders by back filling; the slopes and armoringthe pipe ends and stream banks with 6g ray.
Stone material that washed into the stream channel b the storm will be removed.

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 and surface
waters not-affected by construction will be nratected from unnecessary encroachment during
construction. Strict enforcement of Best Maria ement Practices for the rotection of wetlands
and surface waters will be enforced during construction. Only the smallest amount of fill
necessa to corn lete the ro'ect will be laced in waters of the United States.
Vill. 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.
USAGE W 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 USAGE 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
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http•/Wo enr state nc us/newetlands/strrrCde.h mll.
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.
All c=ensatory-mitigation requirements will be left to the discretion of the re ulg atorv
review agencies.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at htt ://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/w iindex.htm_ If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A _

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.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233

2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ® No ?
2. If "yes", 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.
