SUBJECT: Pipe Replacement/Secondary Road Paving on SR 2274 (Gant Road), Gaston
County
Dear Mr. Wrenn:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests authorization for the replacement of a
40-foot long, 24" CMP with a 60-foot long, 36" HDPE which was done in conjunction with a
secondary road paving project on SR 2274 (Gant Road) in Gaston County. Due to the excessive
amount of metal debris and trash, etc. around the outlet end of the pre-existing pipe, the pipe
itself could not be located; therefore, the pipe neither length nor invert elevations were known.
Due to these unknown factors, excavation of the old pipe and debris was allowed to determine
pre-existing pipe information and to develop an adequate plan for pipe replacement.
The replacement pipe placed on different skew at the inlet resulted in 7 feet of upstream channel
loss. After removal of some of the debris which had placed on the stream channel by the
adjacent property owner, 10 feet of downstream channel was reconstructed and stabilized with
coir fiber matting. Five feet of riprap was used at the pipe inlet and outlet for structure
stabilization. Also, due to the steep slope of the upstream channel (4%), the pipe was placed on
streambed grade to prevent upstream destabilization. Temporary cofferdams and bypass pumping
were used to manage the streamflow during construction. The scope of the work resulted in 47
feet of permanent impacts to an unnamed tributary to Long Creek, which is classified as Class C
waters by the Division of Water Quality.
The project area is not located within 'h mile of any critical watershed area nor is SR 2274 a rural
or urban arterial; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the hazardous
spill basin checklist.
This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for the project for historical sites and
threatened/endangered species sites. No sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places
are located in the vicinity of the project nor did there appear to be any eligible structures. The
State Historic Preservation office reviewed and cleared the secondary road project 2/4/08 (ER
08-0068).

The federally listed species for Gaston County (USFSW listed date January 31, 2008) include
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schnveinitzii) - Endangered (E) and the Bog turtle
(Glyptemys muhlenbergii)- Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance (T SIA). National
Heritage Program records document the nearest Schweinitz's Sunflower location approximately
4.0 miles east of the proposed project area. The sunflower is usually found in upland open areas
protected from shade or excessive competition. There is no potential habitat within the proposed
project area; however, no species were observed during the site visit. No impact on the species is
anticipated. National Heritage Program records document the nearest bog turtle location
approximately 2.0 miles north of the proposed project area. Bog turtles are usually found in
bogs, marshes, and wet pastures. There is no suitable habitat located within the project area and
no species were observed. T/SA species are not subject to Section 7 consultation; however, no
impact on this species is anticipated.
I have enclosed a pre-construction notification for a NW914, sketches of planned activities,
erosion control plans, and location maps relative to the project.
Project information for the 401 Automated Payment Procedure is as follows:
0 Work order number: 150456-55120005-12C.036069-3126

EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROL PLAN
GASTON COUNTY, NC
DATE August 5, 2010
DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
W.O. # 12C.036069
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Program of the
Division of Highways is to control accelerated
erosion and sedimentation resulting from the
construction and maintenance of roads and
highways in North Carolina. This program is
developed pursuant to the requirements
contained in the Rules and Regulations for
(Erosion and Sedimentation Control which
were adopted by the North Carolina
Sedimentation Control Commission on April
M 1974.

PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
Gantt Rd. The NCDOT will be grading, widening, and paving Gantt Rd. No problem
areas are anticipated. The work will be completed during the 2010/2011 construction
season.
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
1. Grading to be started by state forces. Install all necessary silt fences, sediment basins, and check dams
and begin clearing construction area.
2. Rough grade the construction area and begin installing any storm drainage and/or cross lines. Install
inlet and outlet protection as storm drainage is being installed.
3. As an area is brought to finish grade and the black base is placed for the road, and the shoulder
finished, then seed, mulch and tack should be provided for denuded areas.
4. Leave all erosion control devices in place until vegetation has been established sufficiently to
withstand erosion. DO NOT remove any erosion control devices until directed by the County
Engineer.
MAINTENANCE PLAN
1. All erosion and sediment control practices will be checked for stability and operation following every
runoff producing rainfall but in no case less than once every week. Any repairs will be made
immediately to maintain all practices as designed.
2. Sediment will be removed from behind the sediment fence when it becomes about 0.5 feet deep at the
fence. The sediment fence will be repaired as necessary to maintain a barrier.
3. All seeded areas will be fertilized, reseeded as necessary and mulched according to the instruction in
the seeded specifications to maintain a vigorous, dense vegetative cover.
4. Outlet protection will be installed when outlets are installed. Filter fabric will be placed under the
entire stone section and will be repaired and replaced if damaged during any phase of construction.
5. Sediment will be removed from the basin when it reaches 1.0 foot below the emergency spillway. The
filter stone is to be cleaned or replaced when basin no longer drains properly.
GROUND COVER FOR SLOPES, FILLS AND OTHER GRADED AREAS
The angles for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which can be retained by vegetative
cover or other adequate erosion control devices or structures.
Seeding should be done in accordance with the specifications for that season of the year.
Additional erosion control measures may be required depending on the actual field conditions.
4.2 PIPE/CULVERT INSTALLATION
(Taken from BMP Aug.2003, page 26)
This section describes the steps to take when an existing pipe or
culvert is being constructed or replaced on a jurisdictional stream.
1. Prior to installing Erosion Control, identify permit conditions
and impact area limits. Contact the Division Environmental
Officer (DEO) for information on permit drawings or
jurisdictional areas.
Erosion Control
2. Install temporary silt fence or sift ditch to treat runoff from the
work area or isolate the work area from the jurisdictional
areas, such as wetlands or riparian buffers (See Section 5.1).
3. Install Temporary Rock Sift Check Type "A" or Temporary
Sediment Dam Type "B" in ditch lines to contain sediment
prior to discharge into the watercourse (See Section 5.1).
- Do not install Temporary Rock Silt Check Type
"A" or Temporary Sediment Dam Type "B" in
stream channel
Manaoina the Water Course
4. On larger streams, flow diversion may be used to isolate the
work area using bypass pumping, piped diversion or fabriclined
channel (See Section 5.2). On smaller streams, or at low
flow conditions, an impervious dike may be used to
temporarily dewater the work area within the stream channel
(See Section 5.3).
- All temporary in-stream structures must be
installed with geotextlle fabric beneath them, and
removed in their entirety immediately upon
completion of in-stream work
" In CAMA-AECs, the type of flow diversion is
identified in the permit.
5. Temporary stream crossings may be utilized in order to
provide equipment access, if underlain by geotextile fabric, so
that the riprap may be entirely removed (See Section 5.5).
" Confirm that the temporary stream crossing is
shown in the permit drawings as an approved
temporary impact.
- In CAMA-AECs, the type of temporary
Managing the Work Area
6. Dewatering devices are typically needed to keep the work
area dry (see Section 5.4). The permit conditions and the
amount of available space and length of pipe replacement or
project limits will determine the type of dewatering device to
be used. Every effort should be made to minimize the extent
of the area to be dewatered and the length of time the site is
dewatered.
" In CAMA-AECs, the type of dewatering device is
identified in the CAMA permit
7. Install the pipe/culvert per the NCDOT standards and
specifications, and any specified permit conditions. Note that
pipes and culverts shall be buried a minimum depth below the
existing streambed, as defined below, in order to allow for
aquatic organism passage during low flow conditions.
Variance may be obtained by the DEO to allow for deviations
in pipe burial depths due to bedrock, steep gradients in the
stream channel, existing headcutting, potential for drainage of
upstream wetlands, or other concerns.
• Foundation material shall be confined to the
pipe culvert area and shall not be placed in the
existing stream channel outside of the permitted
impact area.
• Excavation of the stream channel shall not exceed
10 feet on either end of the new pipe or culvert
unless the stream is being relocated per Section
4.9, or if indicated in the permit
• Within river basins subject to the Riparian Buffer
Rules, projects may be exempt if work in the
stream channel is limited to a total of 40 feet of
additional impact, including pipe extension.
• In CAMA AECs (within the twenty coastal
counties), all pipes and culverts must be buried
one foot below the existing average streambed
elevation.
• In other parts of the state, pipes(culverts must be
buried as follows:
o Culverts 48-Inches in diameter or greater shall be
buried one foot below the streambed elevation.
Average streambed elevation shall be measured
from multiple measurements taken outside of the
area of scour or road crossing disturbance,
outside of the ROW limits, if necessary.
o Culverts less than 48-inches shall be buried a
depth equal to 20•/ of the pipeiculvert diameter,
such as the following examples. The hydraulic
conveyance of the culvert however should not be
compromised.
Examples:
• 36" = 7"
• 30„ = 6„
•24"=5n
• 18" = 4"
8. Stream pattern, dimension and profile shall be maintained
by pipe/culvert installation.
• A 4-foot diameter pipe culvert installed in a 2-foot
wide stream may require baffles in order to
maintain aquatic organism passage (AOP) during
low flow conditions.
• Pipe size should at least match stream width
wherever possible, but a 2-foot wide culvert
installed In a 4-foot wide stream may also need
baffles to reduce velocities.
• Two 48 inch pipes installed in a 10-foot wide
stream would require that one pipe be installed at
a lower elevation, and in alignment with the low
flow stream channel elevation, so that AOP is
maintained during low flow conditions.
• The low flow pipe should be aligned with the
deepest part of the stream channel, so that flow is
maintained during low flow conditions.
• No "live" or fresh concrete shall come into contact
with jurisdictional waters until the concrete has
cured.
9. Install the riprap shoulder slope and outlet protection on
upstream and downstream channels where indicated on
the permit drawings (See Section 5.6). Do not exceed
approved limits in the permit. Contact the DEO if the
permit or permit drawings are not clear.
• Riprap shall consist of clean rock or masonry
material free of debris or pollutants (such as
asphalt).
• Outlet protection should be countersunk at least
one foot below the average stream bed elevation.
• Placement of riprap within jurisdictional waters
must be the minimum necessary to protect or
ensure shoulder slope and streambank stability.
10. Remove temporary flow diversion or dewatering devices and
accumulated sediment before allowing stream flow to resume
through the new pipe or culvert.
• The impervious dike shall be completely removed
to pre-project conditions.
• Care should be taken to not disturb or destabilize
the undisturbed streambed during removal of
temporary devices.
11. Stream realignment can occur within approved permit impact
limits. Minimize sharp or acute angles in stream alignment
wherever possible. Stream channel pattern, dimension and
profile should be maintained similar to the upstream and
downstream stream reach.
12. Bioengineering techniques may be used to stabilize
streambanks where feasible.
13. Begin backfill operations. Intermediate erosion and
sedimentation control BMPs shall be installed prior to the
backfill operation to provide containment between the work
area and the watercourse.
14. If the pipe/culvert is part of a larger roadway project, enough
backfill should be placed to allow for the removal of the
temporary stream crossing. If no temporary stream crossing
is required then enough backfill should be placed to prevent a
washout during a minor storm event.
Ground Stabilization
15. Upon completion of backfill operations, prepare slopes and
other disturbed areas and stabilize (See Section 5.6).
16. Maintain erosion and sedimentation control measures until
ground vegetation is well established.
Site Cleanup
17. Upon establishment of vegetation, remove remaining erosion
and sedimentation control BMPs, stabilize and reestablish
remaining disturbed areas to proper grade, such as buffers,
wetlands, and water.
• Within jurisdictional waters & wetlands all
temporarily disturbed areas shall
