NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500. This certification authorizes the NCDOT to incur the
following permanent impacts:
1. U-2524BA
¦ 1.74 acres of jurisdictional wetlands (through permanent fill, excavation, and mechanized clearing);
¦ 3,429 linear feet of stream channels.
This includes 0.79 acres of wetland impacts and 2,395 feet of stream loss in Hydrologic Unit 03030003
and 0.95 acres of wetland impacts and 1,034 feet of stream loss in Hydrologic Unit 03030002.
2. U-2524BB
¦ 0.13 acres of wetlands;
¦ 4,518 linear feet of stream channels.
These impacts occur in Hydrologic Unit 03030002.
Total combined impacts are 1.87 acres of wetlands and 7,947 linear feet of stream channels for the
combined project.
These impacts occur in Guilford County, as described in the Application dated 29 August 2001, and
additional information dated 29 May 2002 and 25 June 2002. The project shall be constructed pursuant to
the application dated August 29, 2001 and amended May 29, 2002 to construct Greensboro Western
Urban Loop from south of I-40 to north of Bryan Boulevard in Guilford County.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters of the state
with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and
discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the
applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in
accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application. Should
your project change, you are required to 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 the conditions. If additional wetland
impacts or stream impacts for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre or 150 linear feet,
respectively, additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the conditions listed
below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your
project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-discharge and Water Supply
watershed regulations. This Certification shall expire three (3) years from the date of the cover letter
from DWQ or on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding Corps of Engineers Permit,
whichever is sooner.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. The applicant must follow the appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or
exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual, whichever
is more appropriate (available from the Division of Land Resources (DLR) in the DENR
Regional or Central Offices) and shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing the
proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to assure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50 NTUs in all
fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs in all lakes and
reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. 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 after the
Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Storm water shall be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be routed directly
into streams. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed in order to utilize it for storm water
sheet flow.
4. During the construction of the project, the applicant shall strictly adhere to North Carolina
regulations entitled, Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0124), for
activities undertaken in all waters classified as WS (Water Supply), including: Horsepen Creek,
and Long Branch, as well as their unnamed tributaries.
5. Live or fresh concrete shall not come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has
hardened.
6. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this Certification. If this occurs,
compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
7. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands shall be placed below
the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless it can
be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical. Design and placement of
culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be
conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks,
adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to
provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
8. Mitigation: Compensatory mitigation shall be the same as that approved by the US Army Corps
of Engineers as long as the mitigation required equals a ratio of 1:1 restoration or creation of lost
wetland acres as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h)(6). A report must be submitted to the NC
Division of Water Quality that describes the final approved wetland and stream mitigation for
this project within two (2) months of the issuance of the 404 permit issued by the Army Corps of
Engineers.
¦ NCDOT has agreed to provide 2:1 mitigation for most perennial stream impacts except for
Site 6 of U-2524BA where a 1:1 mitigation ratio is proposed.
¦ Within HU 03030002, the wetland impact total is 1.08 acres, with needed mitigation of 2.16
acres; stream mitigation requirements total 8,240 linear feet.
¦ Within HU 03030003, the wetland impact total is 0.79 acres and 4,127 linear feet of stream.
NCDOT proposes to provide compensatory mitigation for the wetland impacts by providing the
following:
¦ Sandy Creek Mitigation Site (HU 03030003) in Randolph County (restoration of a
bottomland hardwood system at 1:1 mitigation ratio).
¦ Blue Tract Mitigation Site (HU 03030004) in Moore County at a mitigation ratio of 12:1.
NCDOT proposes to provide compensatory mitigation for the stream impacts by providing the
following:
¦ Starmount Forest County Club (HU 03030002) in Guilford County for 2,014 linear feet of
mitigation.
¦ Spring Valley Park Mitigation Site (HU 03030002) in Guilford County for 1,000 linear feet
of mitigation.
¦ Caviness Stream Mitigation Site (HU 03030003) in Randolph County for 2,690 linear feet
of stream.
The remaining compensatory stream mitigation shall be provided via in-lieu payments to
Wetlands Restoration Program which has accepted your payment for impacts associated with the
above referenced projects. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R.0500, this contribution will satisfy
NC Division of Water Quality's compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC
2H.0506(h). Until plans are received and approved for the proposed mitigation sites, wetland or
stream fill shall not occur.
9. 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.
10. The Applicant shall require its contractors (and/or agents) to comply with all of the terms of this
Certification, and shall provide each of its contractors (and/or agents) a copy of this
Certification.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification and may result
in criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above
conditions are made conditions of the Federal Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration
of the 404 Permit.
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.
