DATE: January 26, 2004
SUBJECT: Review of a Section 404 Permit application by NCDOT to replace a cross pipe on
SR 1970 (Hill Ford Road) impacting an unnamed tributary of Rocky River, Stanly
County.
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has submitted an application to
obtain a Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). Staff biologists
with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
information provided. These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and the
Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.).
The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing 72" x 60' corrugated metal pipe with an
84" x 80' corrugated metal pipe at a crossing of an unnamed tributary of Rocky River. The
tributary joins Rocky River, Class C waters, a short distance from the project. Rocky River
supports a locally important recreational fishery and is particularly known for its flathead catfish
fishery. Other fish caught by anglers include sunfish, carp, crappie and largemouth bass.
Several streams in the vicinity support populations of the Carolina creekshell (Villosa
vaughaniana), Federal Species of Concern (FSC) and state Endangered. Records of the creeper
(Strophitus undulatus), state Threatened; notched rainbow (V. constricta), state Special Concern
(SC); eastern creekshell (V. delumbis), state Significantly Rare; and Carolina darter (Etheostoma
collis), FSC and state SC, also exist for nearby streams.
We can concur with the permit issuance if the following conditions are implemented:

1. A mussel survey should be conducted in the project vicinity and downstream. If state or
federally listed species are found, NCDOT should consult with the appropriate resource
agencies.
2. Stringent sedimentation and erosion control measures must be implemented and
maintained on the project site until project completion to avoid impacts to downstream
aquatic resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on
all bare soil as soon as possible and within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to
provide long-term erosion control. Tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas. We
encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for streambank stabilization
when practicable. Erosion control matting should be used in riparian areas, instead of
straw mulch.
3. Culverts 48 inches or larger in diameter should be buried approximately 1' into the
streambed and culverts less than 48 inches in diameter should be buried to a depth equal
to or greater than 20% their size to allow for aquatic life passage. These measurements
must be based on natural thalweg depths. Any perched outlets should be corrected during
construction.
4. The natural dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the culverts
should not be modified by widening the stream channel or changing the depth of the
stream.
5. Removal of vegetation in riparian areas should be minimized. Native trees and shrubs
should be planted along the stream banks to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide
long-term erosion control.
6. Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and tree and shrub growth should be
retained if possible to ensure long term availability of shoreline cover for fish and
wildlife. Backfill materials should be obtained from upland sites.
7. Riprap should be minimized and installed in a manner so as not to interfere with aquatic
life passage during low flow conditions. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be
limited to the stream bank below the high water mark, and vegetation should be used for
stabilization above the high water elevation.
8. Excavation of the stream crossings should be conducted in the dry, if possible. Sandbags,
cofferdams, flexible pipe, or other diversion structures should be used to minimize
excavation in flowing water.
9. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion. These
structures could impede movement of aquatic life.
10. Stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be
routed directly into streams.
SR 1970, Hill Ford Road
UT of Rocky River, Stanly Co. 3 January 26, 2004
11. If concrete will be used during construction, work must be accomplished so that wet
(uncured) concrete does not contact surface waters. This will lessen the chance of
altering the water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
12. Discharging hydroseeding mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment
in or adjacent to surface waters is strictly prohibited.
13. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream channel
whenever possible in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of
introducing other pollutants into the stream. All mechanized equipment operated near
surface waters should be inspected and maintained regularly to prevent contamination of
stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials.
Thank you for the opportunity review and comment on this project. If you have any

Ford Road). WBS Element No. lOB. 200411 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee
$200.00)
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace an
existing cross pipe on SR 1970 (Hill Ford Road) in Stanly County. The purpose of this letter is to
request authorization from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to construct the project under
Section 404 Nationwide 14 and 33 permit authorizations.
The existing 72" x 60' corrugated metal pipe will be replaced with an 84" x 80'
corrugated metal pipe. Traffic will be maintained using an off-site detour.
The project area is scheduled to be reviewed for the presence of listed threatened and
endangered species and will described in a Minimum Criteria Checklist prior to beginning any
construction. There are no wetlands present, although impacts to surface waters will occur.
There will be 30 linear feet of permanent stream channel loss and approximately 40 linear feet of
temporary impacts associated with this pipe replacement. This is an unnamed tributary to Rocky
River, Yadkin River Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03040105. A permit drawing and pre-construction
notification form are attached to this letter.
The NCDOT anticipates that the permit application will be authorized under a Section 404
Nationwide 14 and 33. We are also hereby requesting 401 Water Quality Certifications, GC 3404
and GC 3366, h•om the Division of Water Quality. We are providing seven copies of this
application to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of
Water Quality, for their review.

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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
