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 fixture) 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 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 NCAC15A 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.

WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Proposed emergency repair of a structure conveying an unnamed tributary
to Black Creek on NC 55 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 Black Creek on
NC 55 in Wake County. Flooding in the area of this cross line caused the last two joints
on the outlet end to disconnect and roadway shoulders at both ends of this pipe. 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 an intermittent stream, an unnamed tributary to Black Creek,
[NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-45-(1), Best Usage Classification B NSW; HUC
03020201] (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the
creek is a 24-inch concrete pipe that is 45 feet long (Photographs 1 and 2). Please note
that the existing structure has separated on the outlet end and the roadway shoulder above
the pipe has failed. Also the north stream bank just downstream of the pipe outlet is
unstable and needs repair. In order to repair the roadway shoulder, the last two joints on
the outlet end of this structure will need to be reset. Once the pipe ends are set, the
associated roadway shoulder will be rebuilt and the area surrounding the outlet will be
stabilized using riprap for armoring. Rip rap will also be added to armor the inlet end of
this pipe. 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 will involve no surface water fill.
however, 36 feet of rip rap will be placed along the strearabanks to protect structure. The
work zone will be dewatered for approximately 1 week. Temporary impacts to the stream
from this activity will result in the dewatering of 36 linear feet of stream. Please note that
NCDOT will remove the stone from within the stream channel which had been displaced

by the storm waters. The materials used for dewatering %ill be removed after
construction.
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 Black Creek at Site 1 is depicted on the
most recent version of the Fuquay-Varina (USGS 1974/1981) topographic quadrangle
(Figure 1) as well as the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2).
Construction impacts at this site total 2,238 ft? in Zone 1 and 1,524 W in Zone 2 (totaling
36 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.
Cote Sato Miti tion: 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 fisted for Wake County.
They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephahis), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides
borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterdon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus
miehauxii). 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 wooded areas and residential land
surrounding this roadway do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded
woodpecker. Roadway shoulders along this section of NC 55 are heavily maintained,
eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area. Additionally, this small
UT to Black Creek is within the headwaters of its system and does not provide suitable
habitat for dwarf wedgemussel. Based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the
06/21/06 site visit, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each of these
species.
Summary
The NCDOT proposes to repair the existing structure and rebuild the roadway shoulder
and downstream streambank. Permanent impacts at the site associated with this repair
work involve no surface water fill, but will involve 36 feet of rip rap placed along the

streambank to protect the pipe end. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately
1 week. Temporary impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of
36 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 2,238 fr in Zone 1 and 1,524 fF1 in Zone 2 (totaling 36 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
NCD'WQ 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 information, please contact
