CONTI,y SECRETARY Division of Water Quality 401/Transportation Permitting Unit ® Q ~ t~ 1650 Mail Service Center (~ J Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 SUBJECT: Pipe replacement on SR 2167 (Oakwood Drive), Gas[on County Deaz Mr. Wrenn: The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests authorization to replace a deteriorating pipe on SR 2167 (Oakwood Road) in Gaston County. NCDOT proposes to replace the existing 60-foot 48" CMP with a 60-foot 48" CMP and a total of 10 feet of riprap at the new pipe inlet and outlet. The stream is an intermittent, low-flow, urban stream with limited aquatic life. NCDOT proposes to place the new pipe on the existing streambed grade, and requests a waiver Crom the Water Quality Certification No. 3687 Comditiom #9 (Nationwide 3 Regiomal Comdidou 3.6) permit depth specification, for the construcNou oC this project. A temporary cofferdam pumping system will be used to divert the stream flow around the construction site, if needed. Areas affected by temporary cofferdam system will be restored to pre-project conditions. The scope of work will result in 10 feet of permanent riprap impacts80 feet of temporary impacts to an unnamed tributary to Taylors Creek, which is classified as a WS-IV 'watershed by the Division of Water Quality. The project is not located within %, mile of a critical watershed area nor is SR 2167 a rural or urban arterial area; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the hazardous spill basin checklist. This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for the project for historical sites and threatened/endangered species sites. No sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places are located in the vicinity of the project nor did there appear to be any eligible structures. The federally listed species for Gaston County (USFWS listed dated September 22, 2010) include Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianihus schweinitiziQ, (E) Endangered, and bog turtle (Glyptemmy muhlenbergii) (T/SA) Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance. T/SA species are not subject to section 7 consultation. National Heritage Program records document the nearest sunflower location approximately 2.3 miles southwest of the proposed project area. Schweinitz's sunflower is known from a variety of soil types but is generally found growing on shallow, poor, clayey and/or rocky soils, and is typically found roadsides, power line clearings, old pastures, woodland openings and other sunny or semi-sunny situations. There is little suitable habitat within the proposed project area and no species were observed. No impact on this species is anticipated. Post Office Box 47 Shelby, North Carolina 28151-0047 SR 2167, Oakwood Drive Page 2 September 15,'2011 1 have enclosed apre-construction notification for a NW#3, a sketch of planned activities and location maps relative to the project. Project information for the 401 Automated Payment Procedure is as follows: • Work order number: 150456-55120005-120.036016-3126 • TIP#: NA • Project Category: $240.00 Fee If you have any, questions~or concerns please feel free to contact me at (704) 480-9044.
