Division of Water Quality Transportation Permitting Unit 2321 Crabtree Blvd./Suite 250 Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 Attention: Mr. Rob Riding, NCDOT Project Coordinator EUGENE A. CONTI, JR. SECRETARY RIMM90 SEP 2 P01 MW-YINTER pllA M MfiiMANDSTOR MTERBRANCH Subject: Fill slope repair and pipe extension of a structure conveying an unnamed tributary to Jordan Creek on, US 158 in Glanville County. WBS No. 5C.039011. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDO"r) proposes to repair a fill slope by extending a pipe and then armoring the pipe ends with rip rap for long term stabilization. This will involve permanent surface water fill of 12LF and permanent. rip rap of 20LF along the bank of a buffered stream. Temporary concurrent stream impacts of 32 LF will be necessary for dewatering in order to maintain a dry work area during the repair effort. Buffer impacts of 1,800 SF (Zone 1) and 1,040 SF (Zone 2) will be necessary to access the creek and for the fill slope to be repaired. Application is hereby made for NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3820 and a Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Authorization. A pre-construction notification, construction plan sketch, project mapping, and photographs are attached with this request. By copy of this letter we are notifying the USACE of the intent to work under a non-reporting NWP 14.

The impacts to riparian buffers will be limited to those necessary to access the stream, dewater (if necessary), and to extend this pipe. Most of the access will utilize the space within the existing transportation facility down the fill slope. This extension cannot be performed without access through the riparian buffer. tb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices for protection of surface waters and riparian buffers will be enforced during project construction.

Granville County Maintenance has an existing structure that is too short for the fill section which is a stability concern on US 158 to west side of Oxford. This cross line will be extended by 12ft to the outlet end, then the associated fill slope and shoulder section will be rebuilt. This maintenance work should meet the conditions for working under a non- reporting NWP 3 and WQC No. 3687. Note that although wetland vegetation is observed at the outlet of this structure. This is due to improperly draining ditches and the soils here are non hydric. Therefore no wetland impacts are proposed. 1 For maintenance sites such as this one, NCDOT Division 5 has a procedure in place to provide our construction crews with print outs of the general conditions along with a letter head cover sheet explaining the intent to operate under a non-reporting permit as long as all applicable conditions are meet. Oversight from both the Environmental Staff and REU Field Operations Unit will ensure compliance with the permit conditions are met and that standard BMPs are followed. Attached to this email is a courtesy PCN for your files along with site maps and a construction plan. This work was scheduled to begin within the next few weeks. -Heather Montague DIV 5 Env Specialist (252)492-0111 office (919)691-1596 cell Email correspondence to and from this sender is subject to the N.C.
