DWQ Project No. 020155
Replacement of Bridge No. 42 on SR 1128
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Ms. Trish Simon, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 12
P.O. Box 47
Shelby, NC 28 1 5 1-0047
Dear Ms. Simon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur
105 linear feet of impacts to an unnamed tributary to Henry Fork River for the purpose of replacing
Bridge No. 42 on SR 1128 in Catawba County. The project should be constructed in accordance with
your application dated January 26, 2002 (received February 1, 2002). After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3289
corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. 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 only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing and send us 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for
this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre or if stream impacts exceed 150 linear feet,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For
this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. The structure and riprap required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the
original stream profile is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced nor the
stream channel widened). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below
locations of the culvert. The culvert shall be installed one foot below the stream to allow for fish
and other wildlife movement.
2. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
3. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and
maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or
other toxic materials. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than the stream
channel. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted

stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate vicinity of the
culverts.
4. Where disrupted, natural floodplain benching should be restored, including the area in front of
and below the culvert headwalls. Base flow should be directed through the culvert.
5. Any existing vegetated buffers should not be mowed in order to utilize it for storm water sheet
flow.
6. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If necessary, rip-rap must be limited to the stream bank below the high water
mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water.
Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ 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 NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project.
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.
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 Ms. Cynthia Van Der Wiele at 919-733-9646

Dear Mr. Hendrix:
020155
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes the following
project for your issuance of a Section 404 Permit. We believe this project can be accomplished
under NWP #14, Road Crossing.
COUNTY: Catawba
LOCATION: Bridge #42 replacement on SR 1128, south of Hickory
STREAM: Unnamed tributary to Henry Fork River, Class C Waters (from Laurel
Creek to South Fork Catawba River), Catawba River Basin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of replacing a deteriorating 20' wide x 25'
long timber and steel bridge with a 70'long, 12'x 9' concrete box culvert with inlet and outlet
concrete headwalls on 0.10 acres of NCDOT right of way. It is proposed that -25 feet of riprap
will be placed on the stream bank at the headwalls and five-foot riprap aprons will be placed in the
stream channel extending from the box culvert to provide structure protection at the culvert inlet
and outlet. Temporary cofferdams will be used to restrict stream flow and a temporary pipe will
divert the stream around the work site during construction. The existing stream width is
approximately ten feet wide. The culvert is to be buried a foot below existing streambed elevation
based upon thalweg (deepest part of the stream channel) elevations taken upstream and
downstream of the proposed culvert. The stream dimensions at the inlet and outlet of the new
culvert will be structured to mimic natural channel dimensions. There has been recent disturbance
of the downstream of the bridge. It appears that the local government has installed a watermain
under the stream, and the stream and streambank was armored after construction for stabilization.

January 25, 2002 - Page 2
The bridge is located in a curve and is dangerously narrow. Numerous wrecks occur at the bridge
each month; therefore, a slight shift in the road alignment at the bridge is also proposed to reduce
the curvature so as to provide a safer road for the travelling public. The stream parallels the road
for several hundred feet east of the bridge and the slight realignment of the road shifts the road
closer to the paralleling stream. Appropriate measures will be taken to prevent sediment from
entering the stream during construction of the new road alignment. I have enclosed a PCN
application, a sketch of planned activities, a soil survey and flood zone maps, and location maps
relative to the proposed project.
The project is located in Class C waters and is not located within '/z mile of the watershed critical
area nor is the roadway an urban or rural arterial roadway. Hazardous spill basins are not required.
Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist.
A review of the Natural Heritage information for the threatened species listed for Catawba County,
the dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora), revealed a known site approximately two miles
from the proposed project in the neighboring county. I have conducted a survey for the heartleaf
species in the project area on December 28, 2001. None were observed. It was determined that
this species was not located in the proposed project area. No significant effect on this species is
anticipated. A review of the available information from the National Register of Historic Places was
also conducted. It is anticipated that no historic sites will be affected by the proposed project.
By copy of this letter, we are asking Neil Trivette, NCDOT Roadside Environmental Field
Engineer to comment on the above project. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting
concurrence from the Wildlife Resources Commission, U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the State
Historic Preservation Office.
Your earliest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any
questions, please call me at 704-480-9020.

4. Pond Creation NO 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.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be 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
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
NCDOT has chosen to replace the existing bridge with a box culvert due to the lower costs
associated with this option. Bridge #42 is located in a curve and is dangerously narrow. There
are numerous wrecks at this site each month, A major road realignment and grade change was
originally proposed on this project to eliminate the dangerous curve at the bridge; however, the
new alignment would have extended the new road embankment into the upstream tributary that
parallels SR 1128 for several hundred feet east of the bridge. The current proposed plan attempts
to balance the safety concerns and the environmental concerns on this project by only slightly
shifting the road alignment at the bridge, which will reduce the dangerous curvature and also
prevent any impact on the paralleling section of the stream. The new culvert has an angle break
so as to keep the stream on its present alignment, which will allow the culvert to be constructed
under the present bridge and to allow maintenance of the traffic on the road during; construction
as long as possible. The riprap used will be minimized to only what is needed for stabilization
around the culvert and headwalls. Temporary cofferdams and a pipe diversion will be utilized to
allow for construction to be done "in the dry" and to reduce sediment impact to the stream.
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 March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
Page 9 of 12
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 NCWRP 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
BAPACTS < 150 FEET• MITIGATION NOT ANTICIPATED
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/l*ndex.htm. If

construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Hendrix, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Asheville Field Office
FROM: Maryellen Haggard, DOT Permit Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: February 6, 2002
SUBJECT: NCDOT bridge replacement of No. 42 on SR 1128 over an unnamed
tributary to Henry Fork River, Catawba County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting a
concurrence letter from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to
obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Biologists on staff with the
NCWRC have reviewed the proposed improvements and are familiar with habitat values
of the project area. These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of
the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d)
and the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.).
NCDOT proposes to replace the existing bridge with a 70' long, 12' x 9' concrete
box culvert with inlet and outlet concrete headwalls. During the bridge replacement
NCDOT will shift the road alignment to improve a dangerous curve. The culvert
instillation plus bank stabilization and riprap aprons will impact 95 linear feet of an
unnamed tributary to Henry Fork River. This project has the potential to impact the
unnamed tributary through off site sedimentation during construction and blockage of
fish movements through improper placement of the culvert. While our preference would
be to replace the bridge with another spanning structure, we will not object to the project
as proposed provided that the following conditions are implemented:
Disturbance of the stream channel must be limited to only what is necessary
to install the culvert. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank
rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and
reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
Bridge No. 42, SR 1128 2 February 6, 2002
2. The culvert should be buried one foot into the streambed to provide for
movement of aquatic organisms. If the culvert is installed properly, drop
outlets will be eliminated and the culvert bottom should not be visible but
covered by natural streambed materials.
3. Stream condW9as,Oovq andfbeJow the culvert should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or`l educing the depth of the stream. Where
disrupted, natural floodpla benching should be restored. This includes the
area in front and below culvert headwalls so that the base flow is directed
through the culvert.
4. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
5. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare
soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term
erosion control. NCDOT should utilize onsite native vegetation and materials
for streambank stabilization, rather than excessive riprap (or hard stabilization
methods). Vegetation provides bank stabilization, as well as shade for cooler
water temperatures, and riparian edge habitat. Riprap used on streambanks
must be limited to the lower 1/3 of the streambank.
6. The proposed 5-foot riprap aprons must be constructed so as not to impede
fish passage. Riprap should be buried into the streambed or not used in the
channel.
7. Work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact stream
water.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you
have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at (336) 527-1549.

Dear Mr. Hendrix:
0201,56
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes the following
project for your issuance of a Section 404 Permit. We believe this project can be accomplished
under NWP #14, Road Crossing.
COUNTY: Catawba
LOCATION: Bridge #42 replacement on SR 1128, south of Hickory
STREAM: Unnamed tributary to Henry Fork River, Class C Waters (from Laurel
Creek to South Fork Catawba River), Catawba River Basin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of replacing a deteriorating 20' wide x 25'
long timber and steel bridge with a 70'long, 12'x 9' concrete box culvert with inlet and outlet
concrete headwalls on 0.10 acres of NCDOT right of way. It is proposed that -25 feet of riprap
will be placed on the stream bank at the headwalls and five-foot riprap aprons will be placed in the
stream channel extending from the box culvert to provide structure protection at the culvert inlet
and outlet. Temporary cofferdams will be used to restrict stream flow and a temporary pipe will
divert the stream around the work site during construction. The existing stream width is
approximately ten feet wide. The culvert is to be buried a foot below existing streambed elevation
based upon thalweg (deepest part of the stream channel) elevations taken upstream and
downstream of the proposed culvert. The stream dimensions at the inlet and outlet of the new
culvert will be structured to mimic natural channel dimensions. There has been recent disturbance
of the downstream of the bridge. It appears that the local government has installed a watermain
under the stream, and the stream and streambank was armored after construction for stabilization.
(See enclosed photo of upstream area).

BR# 42 Replacement, SR 1128
January 25, 2002 - Page 2
The bridge is located in a curve and is dangerously narrow. Numerous wrecks occur at the bridge
each month; therefore, a slight shift in the road alignment at the bridge is also proposed to reduce
the curvature so as to provide a safer road for the travelling public. The stream parallels the road
for several hundred feet east of the bridge and the slight realignment of the road shifts the road
closer to the paralleling stream. Appropriate measures will be taken to prevent sediment from
entering the stream during construction of the new road alignment. I have enclosed a PCN
application, a sketch of planned activities, a soil survey and flood zone maps, and location maps
relative to the proposed project.
The project is located in Class C waters and is not located within '/z mile of the watershed critical
area nor is the roadway an urban or rural arterial roadway. Hazardous spill basins are not required.
Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist.
A review of the Natural Heritage information for the threatened species listed for Catawba County,
the dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora), revealed a known site approximately two miles
from the proposed project in the neighboring county. I have conducted a survey for the heartleaf
species in the project area on December 28, 2001. None were observed. It was determined that
this species was not located in the proposed project area. No significant effect on this species is
anticipated. A review of the available information from the National Register of Historic Places was
also conducted. It is anticipated that no historic sites will be affected by the proposed project.
By copy of this letter, we are asking Neil Trivette, NCDOT Roadside Environmental Field
Engineer to comment on the above project. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting
concurrence from the Wildlife Resources Commission, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the State
Historic Preservation Office.
Your earliest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any
questions, please call me at 704-480-9020.

4. Pond Creation NO 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

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be 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
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
NCDOT has chosen to replace the existing bridge with a box culvert due to the lower costs
associated with this option. Bridge #42 is located in a curve and is dangerously narrow. There
are numerous wrecks at this site each month. A major road realignment and grade change was
originally proposed on this project to eliminate the dangerous curve at the bridge, however, the
new alignment would have extended the new road embankment into the upstream tributary that
parallels SR 1128 for several hundred feet east of the bridge. The current proposed plan attempts
to balance the safety concerns and the environmental concerns on this project by only slightly
shifting the road alignment at the bridge, which will reduce the dangerous curvature and also
prevent any impact on the paralleling section of the stream. The new culvert has an angle break
so as to keep the stream on its present alignment, which will allow the culvert to be constructed
under the present bridge and to allow maintenance of the traffic on the road during` construction
as long as possible. The riprap used will be minimized to only what is needed for stabilization
around the culvert and headwalls. Temporary cofferdams and a pipe diversion will be utilized to
allow for construction to be done "in the dry," and to reduce sediment impact to the stream.
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 March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
Page 9 of 12
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 NCWRP 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://h2o. enr. state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide. html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreagellinear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
]IMPACTS < 150 FEET• MITIGATION NOT ANTICIPATED
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wro/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
