Dear Mr. Arrington:
SUBJECT: Modification to Major Development Permit 105-02, Department of the Army
Nationwide Permit 23 (Action Id No. 200210803) and North Carolina Division of Water
Quality Certification 3107 (DWQ Project No. 020939) for the Replacement of Bridge No. 04
on SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek, Chowan County; Federal Aid No. BRZ-1207(1); State
Project No. 8.2030201; TIP No. B-3435; $100.00 Debit work order 8.2030201, WBS
Element 33057.1.3
As you are aware,the North Carolina Department of Transportation is currently in the process
of replacing bridge No. 04 on SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek in Chowan County,North Carolina.
The new bridge will replace an obsolete bridge carrying SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek and to
resolve a long standing maintenance problem along SR 1207 in the vicinity of the bridge.
During the current removal of the existing causeway, it has been determined that the clearing
contractor has inadvertently cleared approximately 2867.0 square feet(0.060 acre) of forested wetlands
that were not shown in the original permit application. The cleared areas were not grubbed and will be
allowed to naturally regenerate. No mitigation is proposed for this area.
Additionally, it has been determined that an additional 678.2 square feet(0.015 acre) of
additional fill in wetlands is necessary to ensure a stable and safe fill slope near each bridge end bent.
The NCDOT proposes to use 0.015 acres of on-site restoration as mitigation for the additional fill. It is
important to note that the NCDOT has proposed to use 0.20 acres of mitigation from this project

on another TIP Project, R-3850, the proposed interchange at Okisko Road in Pasquotank and
Perquimans Counties. The impacts on R-3850 actually total 0.19 acres and at a 2:1 ratio would
require 0.38 acres of mitigation. This would leave 0.02 acres of mitigation available to offset the
impacts at B-3435. Therefore, the NCDOT proposes to use these 0.02 acres to cover the 0.015
acres of additional fill at B-3435. This will completely utilize all on-site mitigation available at
B-3435.
The NCDOT hereby requests that a minor modification be issued to Major Development Permit
No 105-02 to allow the additional 0.015 acre of fill and associated mitigation as described above. In
compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAC we will provide $475.00 to act as payment for
processing the Section 401 permit application previously noted in this application (see Subject line).
By copy of this letter the NCDOT also requests the North Carolina Division of Water Quality modify
Water Quality Certification 3361 (DWQ Project No. 020939) and that the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers modify the Department of the Army Nationwide Permit (Action ID 200210803). If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Mr. Lindsey Riddick of my staff at(919) 715-1459

Hi Cathy,
In reference to the request for modification submitted to me and copied
to you dated 8/11/03 for B-3435 my recommendations are:
Monitor the area that was cleared by mistake. (trees were cut but no
ground disturbance)
The additional fill requested is minor and does appear to be necessary
for installation of the fill slopes at the end bents.
All conditions of CAMA Major Permit 105-02 should be adhered to.
I have requested Jaye Poole to debit DOT $100.00 for the processing of
this minor modification.
Let me know if you need further information,
Bill

Dear Mr. Thorpe:
Reference the Department of the Army(DA) nationwide 14 permit issued to you on
August 9, 2002, authorizing you to discharge fill material within waters of the United States,
filling a total of 0.17 acres of wetlands, to replace Bridge No. 4 along SR 1207 with a new, larger
bridge adjacent to Rocky Hock Creek, in Chowan County(Federal Aid No. BRZ-1207(1); State
Project No. 8.2030201; TIP No. B-3435). Also reference your subsequent written request dated
June 20, 2003, for a permit modification to request an additional 678 square feet (0.016 acres) of
additional fill in wetlands to ensure a stable and safe fill slope near each bridge end bent. This
modification request was coordinated with the appropriate State and Federal agencies. The
coordination revealed no objections to this modification request. Therefore, the permit is hereby
modified in accordance with the specific work activities described above. This modification
increases the overall fillip wetlands to 0.186 acres, which is within the threshold allowed by
nationwide permit number 14. It is understood that all conditions of the original permit remain
applicable and that the expiration date is unchanged. Additionally, the increase in wetland
impacts will require an additional 0.016 acres of on site mitigation. Your proposal requests use
of the remaining 0.02 acres of on-site mitigation not debited from this project. Originally,this
project generated 0.60 acres of restoration mitigation credit and 7.36 acres of enhancement
mitigation credit associated with the removal of 639 feet of causeway fill. Of that, 0.21 acres of
the restoration mitigation credit was originally debited for this project and another 0.37 acres of
restoration mitigation credit was debited for TIP Project R-3850 (Highway 17 interchange at
Okisko Road in Pasquotank and Perquimans Counties). The remaining 0.02 acres of restoration
credit will be utilized for this modification. This will completely utilize all of the on-site
restoration credit for the mitigation plan titled"On-site Plan for the proposed Replacement of
Bridge No. 04 on SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek in Chowan County,North Carolina,"dated
June 27, 2002. This modification does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain
authorization from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality or a modification to your
original CAMA permit. •

Any questions regarding this correspondence may be directed to Mr. Bill Biddlecome,

Dear Dr.Thorpe:
This modification authorizes additional impacts to 0.075 acres wetlands. This modification is applicable only to the
additional proposed activities. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated with the
original Water Quality Certification dated July 2, 2002 and all other corresponding modifications still apply except
where superceded by this certification. The project's purpose is the replacement of Bridge Number 4 on SR 1207 in
Chowan County. The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 11,2003. After
reviewing your application,we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
3371. This certification corresponds to the Regional Permit Number 198000291 issued by the Corps of Engineers.
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 DWQ and 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre,or of 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.
1. Stormwater shall be directed to sheetflow at nonerosive velocities through the protected stream buffers.
2. 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.

Thanks for getting back to me Sara,
I will copy Cathy on this as she is processing the modification. I did
pretty well in the storm. I hope you made out OK. I'm busy with road
repairs. Hope to see you soon,
Bill

Lindsey,
The DCM-Raleigh Office has not yet received a copy of the signed permit
modification request dated 6/20/03 for B-3435 with workplan drawings.
We need this information before we can issue a modification to CAMA
Permit No. 105-02. A check is not required because Bill Arrington has
already asked the DCM Fiscal Officer to electronically debit $100.00
from DOT's account (new procedures between DCM and DOT) .
Please submit the above referenced information at your earliest
convenience.
Thanks.

Hi Lindsey,
I did not receive a request for this modification previously. The impacts are
minimal and I believe we could process this as a minor modification.
The first "note" under "Additional Conditions" on the CAMA Major Permit for R-3850
states there is 0.39 acres of restoration credit remaining at B-3435 and that
R-3850 will debit 0.38 acres, leaving a remainder of 0.01 acres. If these figures
are not correct direct me to the correct source of record. I'm not wishing to
split hairs with you, however, would you like to debit 0.02 acres of the 7.36
acres of enhancement credit remaining from B-3435 at a 4:1 ratio in order to make
up the additional 0 .005 acres of impacts? This would balance the equation for DCM.
Would you like to use the new debit system between DCM and DOT to pay the $100.00
fee for the modification?
I hope all is going well and you have some good inside plans for the weekend. It
looks like another wet one here.
Bill

Are any of the cleared areas at Rocky Hock Creek (authorized and not) within the
wetland enhancement area? If so, what do you think about allowing DOT wetland n
enhancement credit due to causeway removal in areas that have been cleared? I am
just curious if this is something we should keep in mind for future projects.
Thanks.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

MICHAEL F. EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT

Mr. Bill Arrington, NCDOT Coordinator
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management
Hestron Plaza II, 151-B Hwy. 24

Subject: Replacement of Bridge No. 04 on SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek in
Chowan County, North Carolina. TIP No. B-3435, Major Development
Permit No. 105-02.
Dr. Mr. Arrington,
As you are aware, the NCDOT is currently in the process of replacing bridge
number 04 over Rocky Hock Creek on SR 1207 in Chowan County, North Carolina. This
activity was authorized through a Major Development Permit (MP 105-02) issued by the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. Major Development Permit No. 105-
02 was issued on August 8, 2002 and will expire on December 31, 2005. A subsequent
refinement to this permit was issued as a letter of refinement on September 5, 2002. The
letter of refinement authorized 0.27 acres of non-mechanized clearing along the north side
of SR 1207.
Since the issuance of the referenced letter of refinement, the NCDOT has
discovered that an error was made during the clearing activity. The contractor
unintentionally cleared beyond the limits authorized in the permit. From Station 11+60 to
Station 13+50 the contractor has cleared an additional 2,085 square feet (0.048 acres).
The mistake is due to a misinterpretation of survey markings by the work crew installing
the silt fence barrier. There is a permanent drainage easement in the vicinity of the
additional clearing. The survey crew marked the perimeter of the permanent drainage
easement. The silt fence was mistakenly installed at the edge of the makings and clearing
was conducted up to the edge of the silt fence. The area was not grubbed and no further
activities will be conducted within the additional cleared area. Due to the limited scope
of the clearing and the fact that no grubbing was done, the NCDOT anticipates the area to
quickly return to a naturally vegetated state once the growing season begins.

Hi Jaye,
I hope all is well with you. Life has been busy here with work and
family.
Could you debit DOT $100.00 for project B-3435. The minor modification
we are processing is for Major permit 105-02 for a bridge replacement
over Rocky Hock Creek in Chowan County. Request date 8/11/03 .
We are also processing a minor modification for Major Permit 129-02 and
would like to debit DOT for $100.00 for that project. It is on SR 1111
in Hyde County. Request date 8/18/03 .
Let me know if you need more information or if I should make this
request by other means.
I hope you have some fun plans for this weekend. It is supposed to get
drier towards Sunday.
Thanks,
Bill
