Division Engineer, Division 11 N C Department of Transportation Post Office Box 250 North Wilkesboro, North Carolina 28659 2[9@[20W@bD Nov i o zooa WEXODSAND A BRAN( Dear Mr. Pettyjohn: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur the following impacts in order to pave, increase lane width and improve traffic safety on SR 1201D (Peoria Rd) in Watauga County. • 180 linear feet of new piping impacts to four unnamed tributaries to the Watauga River (140 feet of new pipe and 40 feet of rip-rap); • Temporary dewatering impacts of approximately 0.001 acres at station 67+15. The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated October 21, 2004 (received October 28, 2004). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 33. 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 Division of Water Quality (Division) and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and certifications, 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 if 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 and any additional conditions listed below. 1. The Watauga River and its tributaries are classified as High Quality Waters. NCDOT shall strictly adhere to the Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT August 2003) and Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B .0124 (a)-(e)] throughout design and construction of the project. 2. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25 foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the brown and brook trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during construction.

November 5, 2004 DWQ# 04-1740 Page 2 3. 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, on 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 m accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual. d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. 4. 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. 5. 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 completion of the project. 6. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 7. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater sheet flow. 8. Where practicable, culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of their size to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch in diameter or larger should be buried at least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. These measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible. All waters must flow through without freefalling or damming on either end of the culverts during low flow conditions, to maintain aquatic life and/or fish passage. 9. Due to extreme slopes at station 3+40, this pipe will not be buried as indicated above. 10. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. 11. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. 12. 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. Any rip-rap used must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. 13. If concrete is used, work must be accomplished so the wet concrete does not contact the stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill. 14. 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. Mr. Mike Pettyjohn, P.E. November 5, 2004 DWQ# 04-1740 Page 3 15. 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. 16. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts. 17. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to preexisting conditions unless more natural geomorphic conditions can be provided. 18. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions. 19. 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.

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. By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings adverse impacts to streams in the area will be minimized. Since this is an existing roadway, the stream impacts cannot be avoided. However, the replacement pipe lengths will be the minimum needed to safely construct the paved roadway. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction 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, Page 7 of 12 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 S ??'ai.(•, ;.`I':1-_???,.iL :,i 14?/i);.-._'!i<i I . 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) 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 l,tipt ' him. 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): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A 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)?

Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact (square feet) Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 3 2 1.5 Total cone i extends out Ju feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15ANCAC 2B .0242 or.0260. N/A XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. Page 9 of 12 Impervious surface area will increase by 0.80 acre All appropriate best management practices for sediment and erosion control will be implemented during construction XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. XIH. Violations (DWQ Only) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional): 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). pp scant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

In streams, where necessary, rock silt screens will be used and installed prior to pipe replacement or any work being done to channel. 2. Remove material and existing.pipe while limiting, as much as possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or escaping from project. 3. Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or escaping from project. Where possible, new grade will be below existing stream bed. If needed, bedding material will be clean stone. 4. Place the new pipe and compact backfill. 5. Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also complete installation of erosion control measures and perform maintenance as needed on existing measure. 6. Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible. 7. Remove rock silt screens as soon as possible after vegetation is established. Prior to removal of rock silt screens any accumulated silt must be removed. GENERAL NOTES ON EROSION CONTROL Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to the dimension of nine feet by three feet by two feet unless otherwise noted on the plans. Where slope protection treatment is required, Section 876 and Section 1042 of the 2002 Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures will be followed. Any material obtained from the project must be clean before being placed. Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as follows: Temporary Silt Basins shall be installed before clearing and grubbing begins. Silt Fences and Temporary Silt Ditches shall be installed after clearing and before grading. Temporary Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as soon as ditchline is established. Pipe Outlet and Inlet Protection will be done as soon as the pipe is installed. Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be implemented as soon as practical.
