EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR Mr. John Hendrix PO BOX 47, SHELBY, NC 28151 May 6, 2002 SECRETARY US Army Corps of Engineers 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, NC 28801-5006 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". Mr. John Hendrix Page 2- SRI 735, Iredell County May 6, 2002 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, M.L. Holder, P.E.

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 the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only) Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local) land? Yes ® No ? If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ?

FILE COPY 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. Cc: Cynthia Van Der Wiele, DWQ Trish Simon, DOT
