DWQ Project No. 050655
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Anthony Roper, P.E. Division Engineer
NCDOT, Division 1
113 Airport Drive
Suite 100
Edenton, NC 27932
Dear Mr. Nance:
You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below, for the following impacts for the purpose of
road widening and pipe replacements on SR 1418 (Spivey Road) in Gates County.
Impact Locations Stream Impacts - Permanent Fill
(Linear Feet)
Site 1 10
Site 2 4
Site 3 4
Site 4 4
Site 5 2
Site 6 14
Site 7 8
Site 8 10
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received April 19, 2005. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that the stream impacts described are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Numbers 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.
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.) 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.

2.) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
riparian buffers.
3.) Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
4.) 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. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be
restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
5.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow
conditions.
6.) 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.
7.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
8.) The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts
to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
9.) There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or
stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities.
10.) 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.
11.) Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation
of the streambed by one 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 low flow passage of water and
aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control
measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
12.) If the above condition (#11) is unable to be met, due to bedrock or other limiting features, encountered during
construction, please discontinue activities and contact the NCDWQ for directions on how to proceed.
13.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
14.) 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.
15.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
16.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1.
17.) 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.
0'.
18.) All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the
preconstruction contours and revegetated with native woody species upon completion of the project
construction. A post-construction as-built with the restoration activities included shall be submitted to the
DWQ no later than 60 days after the project is closed out by the Department of Transportation.
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. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447,
Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please contact Christina Breen at (919) 733-9604.

Subject: notification for a NW 14 for road widening and pipe replacements on SR 1418 (Spivey
Road) in Gates County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is sending a e1111111111ft NW 14 permit notification
for asphalt widening on SR 1418 (Spivey Road) in Gates County from 16' to 20'. There are also some pipe
replacements associated with the asphalt widening. These pipes are located along eight locations. Site 1 is
located 0.26 miles from SR 1414 (Hobbsville Road). Site 2 is located 0.35 miles from SR 1414. Site 3 is
located 1.04 miles from SR 1414. Site 4 is located 1.50 miles from SR 1414. Site 5 is located 1.76 miles
from SR 1414. Site 6 is located 0.05 miles from SR 1417 (Spivey Road). Site 7 is located 0.46 miles from
SR 1417. Site 8 is located 0.57 miles from SR 1417. These pipes will be removed using NCDOT best
management practices for pipe replacement. The PCN, vicinity map, and permit drawings are included
with this letter. If you need any additional information or have any questions concerning this project please

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the,, location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow: The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

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.
Pipe replacement is going to stay on the existing alignment and traffic will be detoured
around the site by using an off-site detour. This will reduce temporary impacts to wetlands and
the creek by not utilizing an on-site detour and keeping the road open. The existing pipes are
being replaced with a longer pipe to widen the road and shoulders to allow for safer travel. No
permanent impacts are expected to the wetlands.
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
littp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
