Dear Mr. Hendrix:
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 #3, Maintenance.
COUNTY: Gaston
LOCATION: Pipe replacement on SR 2044, south of Mount Holly
STREAM: Unnamed tributary to Fites Creek, WS-IV,CA Waters (From a point 0.3
miles downstream of NC Hwy 273 to Lake Wylie, Catawba River),
Catawba River Basin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of the installation of a new 140' long, 60"
CMP with a concrete headwall to replace the existing buried 130', 54" CMP. The pipe is 20 feet
below the existing road grade; therefore, the new pipe will be installed alongside the existing pipe
outside of the existing stream channel by boring and jacking. A boring and jacking pit will be
placed on the downstream side during installation of the new 60" pipe. This area will be stabilized
upon project completion. The total project acreage is 0.50 acres. It is proposed that ten feet of
riprap will be placed on the streambanks at the pipe inlet and outlet for structure stabilization.
Filter fabric will be used under the riprap. The existing pipe will be abandoned; therefore,
approximately 20 feet of the old channel will be filled and -20 feet of stream channel will be
constructed to connect the upstream and downstream after installation of the new pipe. The
existing stream width is approximately three feet wide and -34 inches deep. The constructed
channel will mimic the old channel pattern and dimensions. The newly constructed streambanks
will be stabilized using an appropriate seed mixture and coconut fiber matting.

Pipe Replacement, SR 2044
February 6, 2002 - Page 2
It is proposed that the pipe will be installed in such a way so that it is buried a foot below existing
streambed elevation. The existing streambed elevations have been measured at the inlet and outlet
of the pipe in the deepest part of the channel and are included on the enclosed sketch of planned
activities. Enclosed also is a PCN application, a soil survey and location maps relative to the
proposed project. No wetlands are impacted by the proposed project,
Based upon the "Guidelines for the Location and Design of Hazardous Spill Basins", which are
referenced in DOT's Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters, the
applicable locations for the placement of hazardous spill basins are at stream crossings on highways
functionally classified as rural or urban arterials and where the stream crossing is within '/Z mile of
the critical area. The proposed project is located in a WS-N, CA watershed in the "critical
watershed area"; however, the project site is located in a residential area and SR 2044 is not
functionally classified as a rural or urban arterial. Also, "streams" as defined for the purpose of the
aforementioned guidelines are those depicted as blue lines on a USGS quadrangle map. The
tributary to Fites Creek impacted by the proposed project is not found as a "blue line stream" on
topographical maps. The proposed pipe replacement project is considered an emergency
maintenance project to replace a non-functional pipe and will not change current pavement or
shoulders, nor will the project change the surface runoff pattern in the area. With consideration to
the road's low potential for hazard relative to traffic use, the stream's lack of classification as a
"blue-line stream", and the project's status as an emergency maintenance project, the Department
of Transportation feels that hazardous spill basins are not warranted for the proposed pipe
replacement project. Enclosed is the "Guidelines for the Location and Design of Hazardous Spill
Basins" and the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist.
There are three federally listed threatened and endangered species listed for Gaston County - the
bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephahrs), and Schweinitz's
sunflower (Helianthus sclnveinitzii). A survey was conducted on January 16, 2002 in the vicinity
of the proposed project for Clemmys muhlenbergi and Haliaeetus leucoceplralus. None were
found. It was determined that there will be no impact on either of these species. The optimum
survey window for Schweinitz's sunflower (Heliantlnis sclnveinitzii) is late August through
September. This application is being submitted prior to a species survey for the sunflower because
the proposed project is considered an emergency maintenance project. Due to the condition of the
buried pipe, there is a potential flooding risk for upstream property owners in this residential
neighborhood. Based upon a review of available information, there are two known sites for
Schweinitz's sunflower located approximately 3.0 miles north of the project area. The land area
impacted by the proposed project is located in a forested drainage and a portion of DOT right of
way. The shaded drainage is not appropriate habitat for the sunflower and it is unlikely that the
sunflower is located in the routinely mown right of way. No impact 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 there will be no impacts to the National Register site by the
proposed project.

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.
The existine nice is buried below the streambed at the outlet and is filled with sediment. It is
located in a residential area and there is a potential flooding risk to the upstream residents. In
addition, it is unlikely that there is any passage of fish or wildlife through the existing buried
pipe. The pipe is approximately 20 feet below the existing road grade, therefore, the options at
this site is to modify the streambed to allow existing pipe to function or install a new pipe by
boring and jacking. The first option would result in extreme (up to 1000 feet) of channel
excavation downstream of the existing pipe to lower the streambed. The lower impact
alternative, which DOT has chosen for this project, is to use boring and 'al eking to install a new
similar size and length pie alongside the old pipe outside of the stream channel. This design will
require -20 feet of fill in the old channel and the construction of -20 feet of new stream channel
and the construction of a jacking pit during the boring and jacking of the new pipe.
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.
Page 9 of 13
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
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/strm,Qide.litmi.
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.
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 hitp://i2o.enr.st ile.nc.iis/xNTp/indcx.litni. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:

Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
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).
The optimum survey window for one of the federally listed endangered species -in Gaston
County Schweinitz's sunflower (Helicntthus sclnveinitzii) is late August through September.
According to the available information, there are two known populations located approximately
3 miles north of the proposed project area. The land area impacted by the proposed project is
located in a forested drainage and a portion of DOT right of way. The shaded drainage is not
appropriate habitat for the sunflower and it is unlikely that the sunflower is located in the
routinely mown right of way. This application is being submitted prior to the survey window for
Helianthus schweinit.-ii because the this project is considered an emergency maintenance project.
Due to the condition of the buried pipe there is a potential flooding risk for the upstream property
owners in this residential neighborhood.

APPENDIX O
SHEET I OF 2
GUIDELINES FOR THE LOCATION AND DESIGN
OF HAZARDOUS SPILL BASINS
Hazardous Spill Basins are provided in new highway construction and major
improvment projects at strategic locations along arterial system highways to aid in
containment and clean up of accidental spills. The determination of these strategic
locations is based on concentrated truck usage areas such as; parking sites at rest
areas, weight stations, and runaway ramps, as well as for highway segments in close
proximity to particularly sensitive waters such as; outstanding resource waters and
water supply sources.
The strategy is to configure the highway segment of concern such that any
potential spill runoff would be directed through a facility (basin) where the flow could be
interrupted and temporarily stored to prevent hazardous material from reaching a
receiving stream.
The use of these basins and other management practices to protect receiving
waters is in accordance to the general policies and criteria presented in the departments
document "Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters". The following
is additional specific guidance in the location and design of the basins:
APPLICABLE LOCATIONS
Basins will be provided at stream crossings on highways
functionally classified as a rural or urban arterials and,
The stream(') is identified as an Outstanding Resource
Water (ORW) or a WS-1 watersupply, or
The stream(1) crossing is within 1/2 mile of the critical
area (2) of a water supply source classified as WS-II, WS-III
and WS-IV.
Provision of basins at crossings of those streams on highways
functionally calssified as collectors and local streets and roads can
be evaluated on a site by site basis with consideration for:
traffic volume, traffic type, accident potential related to the highway
geometries, receiving water quality, and the feasibility of basin
construction at the site.
APPENDIX O
SHEET 2 OF 2
(1) For the purpose of these guidelines "stream " will be defined as those depicted as
blue lines on 7-112 minute (1:24000 scale) United States Geological Survey
(USGS) quadrangles.
(2) Critical area is defined as extending 112 mile from the normal pool elevation of
a reservoir; or 112 mile upstream of, and draining to an intake. This would
make the effective area for hazardous spill basins placement, within 1.0 mile of
the normal pool or upstream of an intake.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The volume of spill containment storage provided will be
approximately 10,000 gallons plus the estimated runoff volume
from a rainfall intensity equating to a two year return period '
event.
A means will be provided such that the normal free flow of
runoff at the basin outlet can be interrupted to cause containment
of hazardous runoff. This can be accomplished by providing a
mechanical control gate or by constructing a minimum control
section in the outlet channel that could be readily blocked by such
simple mean as shoveled earth material or stacked bags.
The mechanical gate alternative will generally be utilized in areas
where normal operational activities would allow close scrutiny
and control, reducing the potential for problems with vandalism.
Examples would be rest areas, weight stations and within
controlled access. _
