Dear Mr. Mills:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur the following impacts
in order to extend a pipe and replace an undersized pipe on SR 1006 (Orange Grove Rd) in Orange County.
• 24 linear feet of piping impacts;
• up to 30 linear feet of rip rap for bank stabilization; and
• Temporary dewatering impacts of approximately 50 linear feet at each location.
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated March9, 2005 (received March 21, 2005).
After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos.
3495, 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 13, 14 and 33. In
addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but
not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire with the accompanying 404 permit, unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
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 Division of Water Quality (Division) and submit a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and certifications, 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 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 any additional conditions listed below.
1. Rocky Run its tributaries are classified as Nutrient Sensitive and High Quality Waters. NCDOT shall strictly
adhere to the Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT August 2003) and
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B .0124 (a)-(e)]
throughout design and construction of the project.
2. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface
waters standards:

a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. 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
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. 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.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of
the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
4. 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 six months of the completion of the project.
5. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
6. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site
for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of
existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater sheet flow.
7. Where practicable, culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater
than 20% of their size to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch in diameter or larger should be
buried at least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established
in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. These
measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to
meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced,
and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible. All waters must flow
through without freefalling or damming on either end of the culverts during low flow conditions, to maintain
aquatic life and/or fish passage.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
9. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted when practical.
If rip-rap is necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark, and vegetation must be
used for stabilization above high water. Any rip-rap used must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low
flow conditions.
11. If concrete is used, work must be accomplished so the wet concrete does not contact the stream water. This will
lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
12. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing 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. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other
materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate
vicinity of the culverts.
15. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to preexisting conditions unless more natural geomorphic conditions
can be provided.
16. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
17. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion
Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party
shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality upon
completion of 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, which 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 you have
any questions, please contact Sue Homewood at 336-771-4600 extension 287 or at [e-mail].

Subject: Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) - Orange County, Pipe Replacement & Pipe Extension.
State Project Number 37427 f ,
To Whom It May Concern:
:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace an undersized pipe with a
larger pipe on,Orange Grove Road (SR 1006)'in`Orange County south of Hillsborough and a pipe extension at a
different site on the same road. This activity will result in impacts to UTs' to Rocky Run. The road will be open
during construction with' lane closure and. traffic control. This project is in the Neuse River watershed and is
therefore subject to Neu se Ri?er' buffer rules. , i-Iowever, the Department of Transportation is requesting an
exemption as set forth, in 15A NCAG02B,,0233'(6):urider "Road Crossings" that impact 40 linear feet or less of
riparian buffer. The NCDO.T anticipate's` that the pipe replacement activity and extension will be authorized
under Nationwide Permit (NWP): 13, 14 and':33. ' This application is ;intended as a request for written
authorization from the US Army' Corps Of Engineers for the Nationwide's 13, 14 and 33. This package is also
being forwarded to the NC Division of Water Quality notification as prescribed under General Water Quality
Certifications #3399 (NW 13), #3404 (NW 14) and #3366 (NW 33). The following information is being

5. Pond Creation
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.): Not Applicable
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): Not Applicable
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
Page 5 of 9
Pipe replacement activities are necessary to maintain travel safety. Impacts will be minimized
by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetland and surface
waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and
coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Officer.
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.
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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/str.mgide.htn-il.
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.
A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated; therefore, a mitigation plan is not provided.
Cumulative impacts are less.than 150 feet. The maximum amount of impact to a single
stream is approximately 20 linear feet. No Outstanding Resource Waters, federally protected
species or their habitats, or essential fishery habitats occur in the project area. .
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
Page 6 of 9
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):- Not Applicable
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Not Applicable
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable
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 0 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.
Yes No
X. 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.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes X No If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
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.
Page 7 of 9
The department believes that since the project will impact less than 40 linear feet of riparian
buffer at each site that it qualifies for an exemption as described in 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (6)
(Road crossings of streams and other surface waters subject to this rule) and (7) (a).

Construction Sequence and Erosion Control Plan for Pipe Extension
Orange County - Orange Grove Road - SR 1006
1. Install a rock silt dam (underlain with filter fabric) upstream and downstream of work area to
prevent.incidental sediment loss.
2. Excavate to sufficient depth to allow 20% burial of the pipe extension, place stone, and
extend single line of 36' long 18" RCP to 40' long 18" RCP. Pipe will be extended 4'on inlet
side.
3. If necessary install pumps to divert flow around work area.
4., Backfill new pipe and place rip rap for bank stabilization, if necessary.
5. Silt fences to be placed, as site conditions require.
6. A 10' X 15' siltbag will be used to remove any excess water in work area.
7. Silt dams removed from downstream end then upstream end with natural stream contour
restoration.
8. Notify landscape department for final seeding.
9. A less obtrusive method than a pump around system may be utilized if site conditions allow.
10. Site conditions and weather may alter these plans.

Sue,
I just referred a project to you, SR 1006, Orange County.
The project is subject to NBR rules, but DOT puts on the application that they're
requesting it to be "Exempt". However, as Nikki has had to constantly remind her
coastal contacts, even though a project may be exempt, the buffer impacts still need
to be reported. On this project, as you'll see, DOT lists no impacts in the PCN.
Granted, there may be none, I suppose, but you may still want to take note of this
when you review this one. Thanks,
rob
