Dear Mr. Mills:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in
148 linear feet of streams for the purpose of improving the intersection of Erwin Road and Dobbins Drive in Orange
County. The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 12, 2003. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404.
This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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 valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total
impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 211.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of
Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The
responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of
Water Quality upon completion of the project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447,

Subject: Orange County, Relocation of Erwin Road (SR 1734)/Dobbins Drive (SR 1740) Intersection
in order to improve traffic safety. (moo *?- 9. 9070375
To Whom It May Concern:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to relocate the Erwin
Road/Dobbins Drive intersection in order to improve traffic safety. This activity wi" result in
impacts to two Unnamed Tributaries of Booker Creek due to the extension of two crossline pipes (to
facilitate road widening) and the new installation of crossline pipe on the proposed new section of
road. The NCDOT anticipates that the pipe extensions and installation will be authorized under
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and the dewatering operation will be authorized under NWP 33. This
application is intended as a request for formal written authorization from the USCOE for NWP 14
and NWP 33. This application is also intended as request for written authorization from the NC
Division of Water Quality for minor road crossing under General Water Quality Certificate #3404
and courtesy notification to the Division of Water Quality for temporary construction, access and
dewatering under General Water Quality Certificate #3366.
FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered
and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. According to surveys conducted by the Project
Development and Environmental Analysis branch of the NC Department of Transportation on April
24, 2003, no federally protected species occur in the project area.

MINIMALIZATION 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
linear feet. Total stream impacts from the project are calculated to be 148 linear feet. The project
was purposely designed to impact less than 150 linear feet of streams in order to avoid mitigation
and facilitate expediency in the issuance of permits. Wetland mitigation is not anticipated, as
wetland impacts do not exceed 0.10 acres and there is no occurrence of a unique natural wetland.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Enclosed please find the Pre-Construction Notification Form and supporting documentation for
the above referenced project. If you have any questions, comments or need additional information
after reviewing this material, please contact Jerry Parker at [phone]. Thank you for your
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jerry A. Parker

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www,saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm 4pp_htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at htt.p://wivw.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg.pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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 intersection impedes traffic flow and creates unsafe traffic movement. The proposed
plan offers to relieve congestion and improve traffic safety. The Division plans to extend the
perched Pipe A and to slightly lower the outlet elevation to alleviate the perched condition of the
pipe. The site was visited by a Wildlife Resource representative and it was agreed that
extending the pipe was the best solution to the situation. The Department also plans to extend
the two 18" pipes at Site B. Both the extensions of Pipe A and Pipe B are necessary to increase
the road width in order to provide a turning; lane. The Department does not plan to perform any
work at the inlet ends of the 1ipes at Site A nor Site B. Placement of the culvert at site C is
necessary in order to relocate the Erwin Road/Dobbins Drive intersection. Except for the short
Page 7 of 12
term temporary construction period, there should be no adverse impact on the environment. All
efforts to ensure erosion control and to minimize the placement of rip rap will be made. Natural
materials will be used to stabilize the banks where possible. Impacts will be minimized by strict
enforcement of best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters, equipment
staging restrictions, and coordination with Division Environmental Officer. Construction will be
completed in a timely fashion to not upset the natural and human community. Survey
endangered mussel and plant species were conducted by the PDEA staff of the Department of
Transportation and conclusions of "No Effect were rendered.
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 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
