b'VA i b'%' QJAU I t SEC ION
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 4
linear feet of streams for the purpose of widening and resurfacing SRI 226 in Chowan County. The project shall be
constructed in accordance with your application dated March 26, 2004 (received Mar 30, 2004). 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.
Impacts Approved:
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general conditions are
met. No other impacts are approved including incidental impacts:
Amount Approved
Units Plan Location or Reference
Stream 4 feet Site 1 UT to Indian Creek
404/CAMA Wetlands acres
Waters acres
Buffers (square ft.
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 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
1.) The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not
altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile)
are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to
allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes
are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched
manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.

SUBJECT: Replacement and Extension of one existing pipe under SR 1226 in Chowan County;
Moving Ahead Program - SR 1226, State Project No. MAO 1017R
Dear Sir: Wo-e- 3 71(5?
Please find attached the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form for the above
referenced project. As a part of the Moving Ahead Program, the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to perform maintenance activities that include pavement widening
and resurfacing of the roadway to improve safety along 3.2 miles of SR 1226. The affected length of SR
1226 begins at the intersection of SR 1226 and SR 1231 and extends to the intersection of SR 1226 and
SR 1222.
The proposed maintenance activities include widening of the existing pavement from 16 feet to
20 feet, and extension of cross pipes. The proposed maintenance activities will impact a jurisdictional
stream at one location. The existing reinforced concrete pipe, which is 36 inches in diameter, will be
extended 4 feet on the north side of SR 1226. Impacts to Waters of the US include 4 linear feet of
streams. The stream impacts involve the additional length of pipe to be installed. If you have any
questions, please contact Clay Willis at [phone].

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 pipe at Site 1 will be extended beyond the existing length to accommodate roadway
widening that is being performed to increase the safety of the roadway. Impacts to the stream
cannot be avoided except by choosing a no-build alternative. Impacts will be minimized by
performing the pipe extension activities from the existing roadway. Excavation will be confined
to the right of way and limited to the minimum amount required to extend the pipe. All
excavated materials will be removed from the site.
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
Page 9 of 12
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/stnn%*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.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wM/index.htm. If use of

It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
