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 A ',,Maintenance, and NWP #33, Temporary Construction, Access and Dewatering.
COUNTY: Iredell
LOCATION: Pipe replacement on SR 2379, east of Troutman
STREAM: Unnamed tributary to Westmoreland Creek, Class C Waters (from source
to Weathers Creek), Yadkin River Basin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of replacing a deteriorating double line of
70-foot long, 72" CMP with a new 70-foot long, 13T' x 8T' CMP with an inlet concrete headwall
on 0.10 acres of NCDOT right of way. It is proposed that 10 feet of riprap will be placed on the .
stream bank at the inlet and outlet headwalls and five-foot riprap aprons will be placed in the stream
channel extending from the pipe to provide structure stabilization and protection. Temporary
cofferdams will be used to restrict stream flow and a temporary pipe will divert the stream around
the work site during construction. The temporary impacts will extend 10 feet beyond the inlet and
outlet of the new 70-foot pipe.
The area upstream of the pipe is partially wooded and the stream is fairly stable. The existing pipes
are severely perched at the outlet and a scour hole has developed. There is livestock access on one
side of the stream downstream of the pipe with no riparian vegetation; therefore, the stream in this
area is unstable with eroding banks. We propose to bury the new pipe a foot below existing
streambed elevation based upon thalweg (deepest part of the stream channel) elevations taken
upstream and downstream (of the scour hole).

Mr. John W. Hendrix
Pipe Replacement, SR 2379
March 15, 2002 - Page 2
The existing upstream width is approximately five feet wide. Floodplain benches will be
constructed at the inlet and outlet of the new pipe within the DOT right of way in an effort to
provide stable stream dimensions. I have enclosed a PCN application, a sketch of planned
activities, and location maps relative to the proposed project.
The project is located in a Class C Waters and the roadway is not 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 Iredell County,
the bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), did not reveal any known sites in the vicinity of the
proposed project. I have conducted a survey for this species in the project area on March 11,
2002. 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 and U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
V? I
Your earliest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any
questions, please cell 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 plans to replace a deteriorating, double line of 70 foot, 72" CMP with a 70 foot, 137" x
87" CMPA; therefore, there will be only minimal additional impacts from the riprap used for
structure stabilization. Temporary cofferdams and a pipe diversion will be utilized to allow for
construction to be done "in the dry" and to reduce sediment impact.
t
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
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.
Page 9 of 12
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/strmizide.htmi.
1. 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.
IWACTS < 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 httn://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
