Dear Mr. Mills:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 18 linear feet, to incur 18 linear feet of temporary impacts, and to fill 1903 square feet of protected
riparian buffer on an unnamed tributary to the East Deep Fork River for the purpose of extending a
culvert on SR 1556 (Gallimore Dairy Road) in Guilford County. The project should be constructed in
accordance with your application dated November 21, 2003 (received November 26, 2003). After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Nos. 3366 and 3404 corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit
Numbers 33 and 14. This approval shall act as your Authorization Certificate as required within the
Randleman Lake Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0205). 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. NCDOT shall comply with WS-IV Water Supply Watershed regulations, including the requirement
for a 30-foot vegetated buffer.
2. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or retention basins and
must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly
discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm water sheet flow.
3. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.

4. The culvert shall be designed and installed to allow for fish and other wildlife movement as well as to
prevent headcutting of the stream.
5. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If rip-rap is necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high water
mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water. Rip rap shall not be placed in
the stream bottom.
7. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on
all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Surface Mining Manual.
d. Any reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance
with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
8. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best
Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
9. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that
the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
10. All work shall be performed during low flow (below bankfull) conditions.
11. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
12. 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.
13. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed

WATER QUALITY SECT101V
Subject: Guilford County, Emergency Culvert Replacement on Gallimore Dairy Road (SR 1556)
Project Number # 35013
To Whom It May Concern:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to extend a culvert on
Gallimore Dairy Road (SR1556) in Guilford County in order increase lane width and improve traffic
safety. This activity will result in impacts to an unnamed tributary of East Fork Deep River. In an
effort to obtain the necessary permits for the subject culvert extension, we are providing a pre-
construction notification application with supporting documentation. We believe this project can be
permitted under the Nationwide Permit number 14. This application is intended as a request for
formal written authorization from the USCOE for NWP 14. This application is also intended as a
request for written authorization from the NC Division of Water Quality for minor road crossing
under General Water Quality Certificate #3404. It is also intended as notification of proposed
dewatering activity under General Water Quality Certificate #3366.
This project is in the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed as determined by a DWQ on-site
field determination on January 11, 2002 (see attached letter). However, the work is proposed on an
existing road crossing and will utilize a perpendicular extension. All fill material is proposed to be
kept out of the stream by the utilization of a headwall at the pipe inlet end and utilization of silt
screens along the road embankment. Also, NCDOT will maintain sheetflow to the maximum extent
practical through dispersing concentrated flow and re-establishing vegetation to maintain the
effectiveness of the riparian area. It is the department's opinion that this project can be exempted
from the riparian area protection requirements as according to NCAC T15A:02B.0250 (2) (e) (i).
NCDOT is requesting a "No Practical Alternative" exemption for the proposed project.
The following information is being provided to satisfy conditions of General Water Quality
Certification.

MINIMIZATION INFORMATION
Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of
surface waters and wetlands, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters
of the US, and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental
Officer.
MITIGATION INFORMATION
Stream mitigation is not anticipated, as the impacts to any individual stream do not exceed 150 feet
Wetland mitigation is not anticipated, as wetland impacts do not exceed 0.10 acres and do not
occur in a unique natural wetland.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application. Pipe in need of extension in heavy industrial use area.
I O.Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
p_roiect will involve attaching a 4 X 4 foot junction box and an additional 14 feet X 48 inch
culvert to the east side of an existing 120 foot X 48 inch culvert. The purpose is to allow for
widening of the existing road. Ripht-of-way width is illustrated on the attached site plan. This
project is in the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed as determined by a DWQ on-site
field determination on January 11, 2002 (see attached letter). However, the work is proposed
on an existing road crossing and will utilize a perpendicular extension The project will also
involve the placement of approximately 1903.12 sfof fill. All fill material is proposed to be
kept out of the stream by the utilization of a headwall at the pipe inlet end and utilization of
silt screens along the road embankment No work is proposed at the pipe outlet. Also
NCDOT will maintain sheetflow to the maximum extent practical through dispersing
concentrated flow and re-establishing vegetation to maintain the effectiveness of the riparian
area An existing pipe within the NCDOT right of way currently carries treated stormwater
and untreated roadway runoff directly to the stream NCDOT is proposing to install another
pipe that will carry the untreated roadway runoff to a preformed scour hole that is located
outside of the 50 foot buffer where it will be allowed to sheetflow. Since the two pipes will
be separated the overall amount of runoff going directly to the stream should be lessened and
the only direct water the stream will receive afterwards will be treated stormwater. It is the
department's opinion that this project can be exempted from the riparian area protection
requirements as according to NCAC T15A•02B 0250 (2) (e) (i). NCDOT is requesting a "No
Practical Alternative" exemption for the proposed project All proposed fill will be in a
highground area with no fill proposed to be in wetlands nor streams Equipment used will be
standard road construction equipment (trackhoe grader, backhoe and bulldozer).
I I.Explain the purpose of the proposed work: To increase road width to help increase traffic
safety and to reduce future maintenance costs.

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.
Culvert extension activities are necessary to improve traffic safety. Impacts will be minimized
by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetland and surface
waters restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and
coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Officer.
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.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACF, 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_ncus/ncwetlands/strma;ide.html.
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.
A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated-, therefore a mitigation plan is not provided.
Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet. The maximum amount of impact to a single
stream is approximately 70 linear feet No Outstanding Resource Waters, federally protected

Subject Property: Site Determination for Applicability to the Randleman Lake Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0250)
Gallimore Dairy Road (SR155t, Greensboro, Guilford County, NC
Unnamed tributary stream to Deep River [03-06-08, 17-(1), WS-IV CA](see attached USGS and Soil maps)
Dear Mr. Smith,
On January 10, 2002, DWQ staff met with you to conduct an on-site determination to review a drainage feature on the
subject property for applicability to the Randleman Lake Buffer Rules [15A NCAC 2B .0250]. As a result of this on-site
determination the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the circled drainage feature on the attached USGS and Soil
Survey maps initialed by DWQ staff on 01/10/02 is at least an intermittent stream and, therefore, is subject to the Randleman Buffer
Rules (North Carolina Administrative Code T15A:02B.0250). The stream begins on the east-side of Gallimore Dairy Road at the
outlet of a small stormwater management pond.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the buffers. Please be
aware that even if no direct impacts are proposed to the protected buffers, sheet flow of all stormwater as per 15A NCAC 2B .0250(5)
is required. If you have any additional questions or require additional information you can reach me at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
J orney, Supervisor

It looks like they are extending an existing pipe and relocating existing stormwater to it. While at the
same time, sending "new" (and some existing stormwater) to the preformed scour hole. This looks fine
to issue. I believe that they could do this under the current rules without the need to use the General
Variance. I believe that we have had a situation similar to this where we called the relocation of the
existing stormwater "exempt" as long as they provided diffuse flow of the "new" stormwater. Of course
Todd is not around to confirm, but I recommend that you issue the 401 without requiring the General
Variance. I'll put the fax and this email back in your box.

REMARKS: [] Urgent ® For your review 0 Reply ASAP 0 Please Comment
Beth,
This is a FAX of the topview of the project on Gallimore Dairy Road in Guilford County near the
airport.
NCDQT would like to construct a 4 X 4 It junction box and extend the 48 inch pipe diagonally 14
linear feet. (See the circled area). The lower darkened line coming into the circled area from
the right is an existing pipe that is carrying treated stormwater from a nearby retention pond.
That pipe also carries untreated roadway runoff from catch basins to the stream. NCDQT is
proposing to separate the treated water from the retention pond from the untreated roadway run-
off water by installing another line of pipe (the upper darkened line). The upper pipe will carry
the untreated roadway runoff across the street to the preformed scour hole where it will be
allowed to sheet flow. The scour hole is located outside of the 50 ft buffer area. Since the two
pipes will be separated, the overall amount of runoff' going directly to the stream should be
lessened and the only water the stream will receive directly will be treated stormwater.
I would like to discuss this with you prior to the submittal of the application to address any
concerns you may have- I will call you later after you have received this FAX.
