Division of Water Quality Mail Service Center 1650 Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 RE: Application for Section 401 Permit, Cox to Hoskins Siding Improvements Dear Mr. Hennessy, Please find enclosed aPre-Construction Notification and supporting materials to apply for a Section 401 permit for the Cox to Hoskins Sidings Improvements project, under the N.C. Department of Transportation Rail Division. The project involves improvements to a 8.9-mile section of rail bed between High Point and Greensboro in Guilford County. The project proposes impacts to 347 feet of jurisdictional streams (including 281 feet in HU 03030003 and 66 feet in HU 03030002), and to 0.08 acre of vegetated wetlands. During negotiations with Mr. Todd Tugwell of the USACE, it was agreed that impacts in the two HUs would be considered separately, thereby allowing the project to be processed under Nationwide Permit 14 and the accompanying Water Quality Certification #3404. Although impacts to the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed, totaling 20,350 square feet, are proposed, railroad crossing projects are exempt from the riparian area protection requirements under 15A NCAC 02B.0250 (2)(e)(i). Mitigation for jurisdictional area impacts to streams is proposed under the NC EEP's In-Lieu Fee Program. We appreciate your attention and assistance in this matter. Please let us know if any additional information is needed to expedite the permitting process.

Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 8. 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.): N/A. No pond construction is proposed. Proposed use or purpose of pond (e. g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A 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 maybe 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 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 9 techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Please see attached sheet for descriptions of avoidance and minimization strategies for individual crossings. The on final jurisdictional delineations on the railway right-of--way described 29 intermittent and perennial stream crossings totaling 2888 feet. Sixteen vegetated wetlands were delineated totalling 0.781 acre. Of these jurisdictional areas, only 10 stream crossings are proposed to be impacted by the proiect, with a total of 347 feet of stream impacts. Four wetland impacts are proposed, with 0.080 acre of impacts. During the design phase for the proposed rail sidings, fill slopes were minimized and track alignments were adjusted to avoid and minimize im acp is to jurisdictional areas wherever possible. Placement of the new sidings as close as possible to the existing track further minimizes impacts. Widening of the rail bed will result in unavoidable stream and wetland impacts. Crossin swill be constructed using culvert extensions, where possible. Many existing culverts are undersized or perched and cannot be extended. In these cases, new culverts will be installed using the jack and bore method to minimize impacts to jurisdictional areas. Construction of the new sidings and main track to either side of the existing rail bed would not result in lesser impacts to wetlands or streams. The developer feels that the most efficient and practicable design solution is proposed, as well as the least damaging. 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:i h2o.em•.state.nc.us;'ncwetlands~`strm~ide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan.

Indicate Which of the Following apply: 0 There are wetlands on the above described property which we strongly suggest should be delineated and surveyed. The surveyed wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will make a final jurisdictional detemunation on your property. 0 Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your wetlands cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to obtain a consultant to obtain a more timely delineation of the wetlands. Once the consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property, Corps staff will review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for final approval be the Corps. The Corps will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property without an approved survey. The wetlands on your property have been delineated (limits were fla~,~ed in the field), and the limits of the Corps ~urasdictcon have been explained to you It is recommended that you provide a land survey of these flaQ~ed limits Verification of such a survey, unless there is a change in the law or our published re~ulattons, could result in a signed determination that maybe relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date ofthe verification_ 0 here are ro wetlands present. on the above described property which are subject to the permit requirements of section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344).

Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach.

Channel sinuosity: Straight -Occasional bends X Frequent meander -Very sinuous -Braided channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 63 Comments: Evaluator's Signature Date 5-26-06 This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality.

North Carolina Department of Transportation Cox to Hoskins Siding Improvements Rail Division December 18, 2006 Mr. Todd Tugwell U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, North Carolina 27615 Dear Mr. Tugwell: Subject: EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter: NCDOT Rail Division Improvements -Cox to Hoskins Siding; Cape Fear River Basin (Cataloging Units 03030002 and 03030003); Central Piedmont (CP) Eco-Region The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will provide the compensatory stream mitigation for the unavoidable impact associated with the above referenced project. As indicated in the NCDOT's mitigation request dated December 13, 2006, compensatory stream mitigation from EEP is required for approximately 472 feet of stream impacts located in the following cataloging units: Cape Fear 03030002 132 feet Cape Fear 03030003 340 feet Mitigation for this project will be provided in accordance with Section X of the Memorandum of Agreement between the N. C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the N. C. Department of Transportation, and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers signed on July 22, 2003. EEP commits to implement sufficient compensatory stream mitigation up to 264 stream credits in Cape Fear 03030002 and 480 stream credits in Cape Fear 03030003 to offset the impacts associated with this project by the end of the MOA year in which this project is permitted. If the impacts change from the above listed amount, then this mitigation strategy letter will no longer be valid and a new mitigation strategy letter will be required from EEP. -, _,. _ ~1~E1~1 North Carofina Ecosystem Enhancement ~ro~ram, E6€?
