Subject: Nationwide Permit #3
SR 1735, Larue Circle
Iredell County, NC
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.
I have enclosed a straight line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #3, a sketch of planned activities, and location maps relative to the secondary road
paving project/pipe replacement project. The secondary road paving project consists of
5.0 acres of NC DOT right of way and the pipe replacement project encompasses <1/4
acres of this acreage, also within NCDOT right of way.
Larue Circle is currently a partially unpaved gravel road. NCDOT plans to pave the road
from the existing end of pavement to the end of state maintenance for a length of 1900
feet. It will be graded and paved on existing alignment to bring the road up to current
safety standards using bulldozers, pans, backhoes, rollers, and pavers. Appropriate
erosion and sedimentation control measures will be installed and the project area will be
stabilized upon completion. At Station 9+00, DOT also proposes to remove an existing
60-foot, 48" pipe and replace it with a 60-foot long, 48" CMP on existing alignment.
The pipe will be placed 10" below the existing streambed elevation based on thalweg
elevations taken at the pipe inlet and outlet. The stream is approximately 2-3 feet wide.
Existing channel morphology will be maintained at the inlet and outlet by the
construction of floodplain benches, if necessary. There is minimal flow in the stream
channel and it is anticipated that the pipe can be installed within 8 hours "in the dry".

The stream impacted by the proposed project is an unnamed tributary to Back Creek
Creek, which is classified Class C waters and is located in the Yadkin River Basin. There
are no wetlands involved in the project. The stream is not located within a critical or
protected watershed area nor is the road a rural or urban arterial; therefore, hazardous
spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist for
this project.
A review of the Natural Heritage information for the threatened species(T/SA- threatened
due to similarity of appearance listed for Iredell County, the bog turtle (Clemmys
muhlenbergii) was conducted. There are no known sites in the vicinity of the project. I
have conducted a survey for the bog turtle and potential habitat in the project area March
6, 2002. None were observed. No effect on this species is anticipated.
A review of the National Register of Historic Places was also conducted. There are no
sites listed on the National Register nor are there any eligible historic sites that will be
affected by the proposed project. No effect on any historical site is anticipated.
By copy of this letter, we are asking Neil Trivette, 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 the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service.
Your earliest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you
have any questions, please call me at 704-480-9020.
Respectfully yours,

existing 84" pipe.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included
RR Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
xvwx v.usas.eov. Several intemet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., wwwAppozone.com,
,Arw AA mapquest.com, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: No increase in nine

4. Pond Creation: NO POND CREATION
Page 8 of 12
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.): NA
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
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 existing alignment of the road will be maintained, therefore, minimal grading will be done to
bring the road up to current safety standards. There is no increase in pipe length, therefore, there
will only be minimal impacts from the riprap used around the pipe inlet and outlet for structure
stabilization.
VIM 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.
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.htm].
Page 9 of 12
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.
IWACTS < 150 FEET; THEREFORE, 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 littp://h2o.enr.stite.nc.us/wrt)/l*ndex.htin. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Hendrix, Permit Coordinator
Asheville Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 8, 2002
SUBJECT: Review of an Application for NWP#3 by North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT), SR 1735, Larue Circle, Back Creek, Iredell
County
NCDOT is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field
biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977
(33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
NCDOT proposes to replace an existing 60', 48" pipe and replace it with a 60',
48" CMP. Based on the information provided by the applicant and our information on
the range of trout in the project area, we do not believe this project will cause significant
effects to waters supporting trout. Therefore, we do not object to the project as proposed
in Trish Simon's letter of May 6, 2002.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you
have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.
