APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Martin Bolick
NC DOT
Boone District Office
PO Box 1460
Boone, NC 28607
Dear Mr. Bolick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.036
acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of paving SR 1355, as you described in your application dated
October 27, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number 3103. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when
the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application for a new
certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
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 which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and
binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
re on Howard, Jr. P

Dear Mr. Chapin:
The N. C. Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base, and
pave SR 1355, Pinefrost Rd., in Caldwell County when the necessary permits are
obtained. This project will require replacing two pipe which carry Coffee Creek. Coffee
Creek has the DEM classification, C. Due to the proposed work, we are requesting a
404 Nationwide Permit.
I am sending a joint application form, typical roadway section, straight line sketch
with proposed erosion control, general notes on erosion control, notes on pipe
installation, and a marked county map.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Mr. Joe Mickey, Western Piedmont Region
Coordinator, to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from
the Division of Water Quality for this project.
We would like to begin construction when the necessary permits are obtained. If
addition information is required, please let me know. Your early review and
consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Martin L. Bolick
District Engineer

GENERAL NOTES ON EROSION CONTROL
Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to the dimension of six feet by three feet by
three feet unless otherwise noted on the plans.
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as follows:
Temporary Silt Basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt Fences and Temporary Silt Ditches shall be installed as soon
as ditchline is established.
Temporary Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as soon as soon as
ditchline is established.
Pipe Outlet and Inlet Protection will be done as soon as pipe is installed.
Seeding and Other Permanent Erosion Control Measures are to
be implemented as soon as practical.
Temporary Rock Silt Checks (Type B) will be spaced as required by percent of grade
as Described on page VI-16 in the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Guidelines.
No. 5 Stone, or equivalent, will be used in conjunction with Temporary Rock Silt Check
Type-B in location where water is leaving the project or entering pipe.
Where the plan calls for a rip-rap lined ditch to be installed, temporary silt basins and
rock check dams will be constructed and maintained until the final rip-rap lined ditch
can be constructed.
PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock
silt screens will be used.
2) Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering the stream and/or
escaping from project.
3) Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much
as possible, material and sediment from entering the stream and/or
escaping from project. Where possible, new grade will be below
existing streambed. If needed, bedding material will be clean
stone.
4) Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5) Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also
complete installation of erosion control measures and perform
maintenance as needed on existing measures.
6) Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
