APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Moose:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently impact a total
of 47 linear feet (If) of streams as listed in the table below:
Location/Station _ _ Stream Name _ Length of Stream Impact-
Station 12 4-25 Unnamed tributary to Stewarts Creek" 15 linear feet
Station 17+29 Unnamed tributary to Stewarts Creek` 32 linear feet
The impacts will be for the purpose of replacing and/or extending existing culverts associated with intersection
improvements as described in your application received by the Division of Water duality (DWQ) on June 29, 2006. The
intersection locations of the project are State Road (SR) 1007 (Rocky River Road) and SR 1009 (Old Charlotte Highway)
and SR 1007 and US 74 in Union County. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is
covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3404. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or
local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the associated 404
pert-nit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design that you described in your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and you may be required to 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 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 those listed below:
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands must be below the elevation of the
streambed by one (1) foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter
for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow for low flow passage of water and aquatic life, as well as
prevent headcutting of the streams. The design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary
erosion control measures shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered (i.e., the
depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including
pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The applicant may be required to
provide evidence that the equilibrium has been maintained, if requested in writing by the DWQ.
`No stream determination performed.

2. The use of riprap above the normal high water mark shall be minimized. Any riprap placed for stream stabilization shaii
be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
3. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order minimize sedimentation
and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
4. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification.
5. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic conditions can
be provided.
6. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved Bl\AP measures from the most
current version of the NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
9. 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.
10. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized
by this certification.
11. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
12. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the Water
Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer and the on-
site project manager.
13. Native riparian vegetation must be re-established within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
14. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maxiirum 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 30 days after the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
15. 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, or 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 in 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.
16. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and its contractors and/or agents shall not excavate, fill or
perform mechanized land clearing at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project within waters and/or
wetlands, except as authorized by this Certification, or any modification to this Certification (e.g., no work shall occur
outside of the footprint of the plans provided). In addition, there shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into
jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this Certification without appropriate modification. If this occurs,
compensatory mitigation may be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities.
17. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. Please include
photographs upstream and downstream of the structure to document correct installation.
18. Continuing Compliance. NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner so as not to contravene any state water quality
standard [including any requirements for compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act] and any other
appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being met
(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that state or federal law is being violated, or that further
conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions
appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d).
Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify NCDOT and the USACE, provide public notice in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or
revised conditions shall be provided to NCDOT in writing, shall be provided to the USACE for reference in any permit
issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the
project.

Cr Dear Sir or Madam:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to resurface SR 1007
(Rocky River Road) and make intersection improvements at SR 1007 (Rocky River Road) and
SR 1009 (Old Charlotte Highway) as well as SR 1007 and US 74 as part of the North Carolina
Moving Ahead program. The total project length is .77 of a mile.
The subject project has been reviewed for the presence of listed threatened and endangered
species (Union County Species: Lasmigona clecorala, Rhus michauxii, Helimalms sclnreinilzii).
It has been determined that the construction of this project will have no effect on any of the listed
plant or animal species.
This project cannot be completed without impacts to waters of the United States. The project i?
located within the Yadkin River Basin (Hydrologic Unit 9 03040105), affecting the drainage of
unnamed tributaries to Stewarts Creek. There will be approximately 47 linear feet of permanent
impacts to the existing stream channels as a result of the proposed construction.
Wetland Impacts
There are no wetland impacts that will result from the construction of this project.
Stream Impacts
There will be two intermittent stream impacts. Table 1 includes information related to site
number, stream name, existing pipe length (f3), existing pipe width (in), proposed replacement or
extended pipe length (ft) and width (in).

All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary
encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or storage of construction supplies will be
allowed in or near wetlands or surface waters.
Sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and
surface waters will be enforced during project constriction. Continued coordination will occur
between maintenance forces and the Division Environmental Supervisor during construction in an
effort to minimize impacts to jurisdictional sites.
The NCDOT believes that this project can be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit
14. The purpose of this letter is to request authorization to construct the proposed project under
it Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. GC3404. We have enclosed seven copies of
the pre-constriction notification package for dissemination and review.
If you have any questions or need any additional information concerning this project, please feel

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.
This project was identified as a safety improvement project due to the high traffic volumes on SR
1007 between SR 1009 and US 74 SR 1007 will only be widened for the proposed turn lanes.
Surface waters not affected by the construction of this project will be12rotected from
unnecessary encroachment The staging, of construction equipment will not be allowed in or near
the jurisdictional areas Strict enforcement of the sediment and BMP's for the protection
of wetlands and Surface waters-will-be enforced during all phases of project 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 January 15, 2002, 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.
