APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Payne:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
December 20, 2005
DWQ# 05-2180
Union County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact a total of 116 linear feet (If) of Mill Creek (a perennial stream) for the purpose of replacing a bridge
with two (2) corrugated metal pipes and constructing floodplain benches as described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on December 12, 2005. The location of the project is State
Road 1635 (Sincerity Road) in Union County. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this
project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3404. This certification corresponds to
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 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:
1. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands must be below the elevation of
the streambed by one (1) 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 for low flow passage of water and
aquatic life, as well as prevent headcutting of the streams. 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). 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.
Since two (2) culverts will be installed, the stream should only flow through one culvert during normal flow
conditions and through the other culvert above bankfull conditions. The proposed floodplain benches should
be installed to restore natural channel dimensions upon completion of the project. The benches should be
constructed of natural materials for bench stability. N"e Cazoli

3. A representative from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) environmental staff shall be
present on site during the construction of the floodplain benches to provide guidance to the NCDOT
Maintenance Personnel and/or selected contractor.'
4. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark and
vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water mark.
5. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel, when possible, in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
6. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic
conditions can be provided.
7. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
11. Discharging hydroseeding mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is strictly prohibited.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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).
Page 3
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.
15. Upon completion of the project, the applicant 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.
16. 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 2H.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.
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 telephone Polly Lespinasse in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-

Subject: Union County - Bridge Replacement Project on SR 1635 (Sincerity Road). WBS
Element No. lOB. 209011 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee 5200.00)
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 27
with (2) 142" x 91" x 60' CMPA on SR 1635 (Sincerity Road) in Union County. The purpose of
this letter is to request authorization from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to construct the
project under a Regional General Permit No. 198200031.
The project area has been reviewed for the presence of federally listed threatened and endangered
species (Union County Listings: Lasmigona decorata and Helianthus schvwinit-ii) and described
in a Minimum Criteria Checklist. It has been determined that the construction of this project is
not likely to adversely impact any listed species. There are no wetlands present although impacts
to surface waters will occur. There will be 60 linear feet of permanent stream channel loss due to
the addition of pipe and approximately 56 linear feet of impacts due to the construction and
stabilization of flood plain benches for the overflow pipe. The impacts -v6U occur to Mill Creek,
which is located within the Yadkin River Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03040105. A permit drawing
and pre-construction notification form are attached to this letter.
The NCDOT anticipates that the permit application will be authorized under a Regional General
Permit No. 198200031. We are also hereby requesting 401 Water Quality Certification GC 3404. .
from the Division of Water Quality. We are providing seven copies of this application to the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural. Resources. Division of Water Quality,
for their review.

applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce
impacts. Sections of this stream that are not directly impacted by the project will be protected
from unnecessary encroachment There will be no staying of construction equipment m or
near the stream. Strict enforcement of the sedimentation and erosion control best
management practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced
duriniz all phases of project construction.
Vim. 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/strmwde.html.
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.
Requests for mitigation will be routed through the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program
