You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 50 linear feet (If) of Rocky River for the purpose of providing bank and bridge bent stabilization
associated with a bridge replacement as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) on July 20, 2005. The location of the project is State Road 1449 (Harris Road) in Cabarrus County.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General
Certification Number 3404. This certification corresponds to the Regional General Permit Number 198200031
issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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:

Subject: NC Moving Ahead Project No. MA10022B, Cabarrus County. WBS Element
No. 37858 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200.00).
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge
No. 9 on SR 1449 (Harris Road) over Rocky River in Cabarrus County as part of the NC Moving
Ahead program. The existing timber deck bridge measures 91 feet long by 19 feet 2 inches wide.
The proposed replacement structure will be a pre-stressed core slab bridge that measures 120 feet
long by 42 feet wide and will be relocated further south to avoid impacts to an unnamed tributary
to Rocky River.
The subject project has been reviewed for the presence of federally listed threatened and
endangered species and described in a Minimum Criteria Checklist. It has been determined that
the proposed bridge replacement activity will have no effect on any listed plant or animal species.
This project cannot be completed without impacts to waters of the United States. The
_ project is located within the Yadkin River Basin (Hydrologic Unit # 03040105), affecting the
drainage of Rocky River. There will be approximately 50 linear feet of permanent impacts to
Rocky River as a result of the proposed construction. These impacts will be limited to two
interior bents and the necessary rip rap for bent stabilization which are located within
jurisdictional limits but outside of the base flow area of the river. The proposed structure is
longer than the existing structure and will allow Rocky River to access more of it's original flood
prone area. There are no wetland impacts that will result from the construction of this project.
Any surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary
encroachment. The staging of construction equipment, or storage of construction supplies, will
not be allowed in or near surface waters. Sediment and erosion control Best Management

Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
construction and continued coordination will occur between the contractor, job site inspectors,
and the Division Environmental Supervisor during construction in an effort to minimize additional
impacts.
The purpose of this letter is to request that the authorization to construct the proposed
project under a Section 404 Regional General Permit 198200031. Application is also made to the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for the Section 401 Water Quality
Certificate (WQC) No. GC3404.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Surface waters not impacted by the construction of this project will be protected from
unnecessM encroachment Construction equipment will not be allowed to stage near the
jurisdictional stream crossings. Strict enforcement of the sediment and erosion control BMP's
for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during all phases of project
construction.
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 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
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://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.
The Department is not proposing mitigation for the proposed impacts. The proposed
structure is longer than the existing structure and will allow Rocky River to access more of
it's original flood prone area which we hope will offset the impacts that are proposed for
interior bent stabilization However, if mitigation is required to offset the proposed impacts,
the Department will request assistance from the Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
