Again the maintenance contract crew was able to bury the pipes on the inlet but due to the sewer line on the outlet - the outlet end of theses pipes couldn't be buried. Please note that a headwall was constructed on the inlet end and rip rap armoring was used on the outlet end - as opposed to walls on both ends as my permit drawing indicated. This depiction was a misunderstanding on my part, as our Hydraulics Unit actually recommended a headwall singular not headwalls plural. Even with this discrepancy, the impacts at this site have not changed. The outlet end of these pipes are exposed and the rip rap armoring tapers down from the road shoulder to the pipe ends.

There are two separate issues at this site: 1) pipe burial and 2) erosion control. The pipe burial issue was unexpected and will require additional discussion. As far as stream bank stabilization, I can see now that I should have made sure rip rap armoring was included in the initial permit. I mistakenly assumed "headwalls" meant walls on both ends of a pipe and that the use of these replaced the need for rip rap armoring. I now realize that you can have a headwall or and end wall or both. Additionally, any project that leaves disturbed areas without hard stabilization has the potential for sediment loss. Our construction crews realized that rip rap was needed, but didn't use it because I hadn't gotten it permitted. I must continue to improve my coordination with them - so that these issues are addressed ahead of time and if an error is ever realized in the future we can take care of that before construction is completed. Christina - you've requested a meeting sometime the week of August 8th to discuss this project again. Our permit modification request attempts to head off some of this discussion, please see this request and then we can talk more about where we go from here. Christina- let me know where you'd like to meet (someone's office or back on site) and if you feel like having some of our construction folks and staff engineers attend would be helpful. I'd need to coordinate with their schedules and then I could get back with you on which date and what time works best for everyone. Thank your for your help with this project. Please continue to let me know if you have questions or need additional information.

Our office has been informed by the Asst. County Maintenance Engineer, Jason Holmes, that an existing gravity fed sewer line across the stream bed on the outlet end will prevent the contractor from properly burying the proposed pipe on the outlet end. The sewer line was improperly installed years ago and to fix it now would require the relocation of over a thousand feet of line. Therefore, the new pipe has been replaced and buried 20% on the inlet but is perched about 1 foot on the outlet. I will forward construction pictures to you as soon as I get those.

References: 1) NCDENR-DWQ Project No. 050311. 2) USACE Action ID: 200520580, 200520581. In an application letter, dated February 11, 2005 - the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) provided information on the proposal to replace a pipe conveying Beaverdam Creek on SR 2213 (Kyle Drive) in Wake County. On 03/11/05 the NCDENR-DWQ approved a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) 3494 and 3366 to correspond with the Nationwide Permit 3 and 33 issued by the USACE on 03/15/05. REVISIONS Construction of this project was completed 07/15/05. Several changes in the field became necessary which differ from the proposal presented in the 02/11/05 letter. First of all, conflicts with the position of a gravity fed sewer line prevented the replacement pipes from being buried the required depths. The result is that the outlet ends of these pipes were perched above the streambed slightly. Please note that the use of shorter pipes to avoid the sewer line would have left this PVC sewer line exposed above the streambed and very near the outlet of the new pipes - increasing the risk for a possible break in this line associated with bank scour, debris forced against the line, as well as weathering effects of an uncovered line. Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 2 Secondly, a headwall was constructed on the inlet end and riprap armoring was used on the outlet end - as opposed to walls on both ends as indicated within the permit drawing attached to the 02/11/05 letter. It was the recommendation of our Hydraulics Unit to use headwall only with no end wall. Even with this discrepancy, the impacts to this site did not exceed those permitted. The outlet end of these pipes are exposed and the riprap armoring tapered down from the road shoulder to the pipe ends. The work area was then matted, seeded, and mulched for stabilization. On 07/22/05, Mike Horan and Christina Breen of NCDWQ met onsite with Heather Montague of NCDOT. Upon review of this project site it was evident that additional stabilization would be necessary in order to control sediment loss from the east bank at the outlet end, as this bank had failed. In response to this problem, NCDOT maintenance crews pulled back the bank and placed 15 if of riprap along the stream bank that same day at the request of NCDWQ. NCDWQ also expressed concern with the amount of sediment within the stream channel. NCDOT acknowledges our responsibility with the bank failure and recovered this small section of collapsed bank material during the bank repair work. NCDOT contends that the sediment volume within the stream channel and particularly within the blowhole is pre-existing and not associated with the pipe replacement activities. Photographs attached to the 02/11/05 letter show sandbars and sediment deposits at both the inlet and outlet ends of the existing pipe. Additionally, Mr. Jordan Allen, an adjacent landowner, documents his concern over washing silt accumulation covering three strands of barbed wire fence in a letter from December 2003. In an email 07/26/05, NCDWQ requested a meeting to discuss a way to permanently fix the pipe burial issue, because there may be a worsening situation with the blowhole. It was recommended that we talk to Randy Heneger of NCDOT Hydraulics Unit concerning an outlet dissipater design of his which may or may not help in this case. A meeting date of 08/08/05 was scheduled. In preparation of this meeting, Randy Henegar and Randy Boyd of NCDOT Hydraulics meet onsite 08/03/05 with Heather Montague and the Wake County Maintenance Engineer, Jeff Allen, and Assistant County Maintenance Engineer, Jason Holmes. It was discussed that this project site does not have right-of-way to accommodate an outlet dissipater as there is only 2.5 ft from the new pipe outlet and the right-of-way limit. During this site visit it was observed that utility work involving a gas line, on the inlet side of the pipes, had resulted in disturbance to the seeding, mulching, and matting that was previously established along both banks and surrounding roadway shoulders. In order to rectify this situation, NCDOT maintenance crews placed 11 if of riprap along these banks on 08/04/05, then re-seeded and mulched the surrounding area. On 08/08/05 NCDOT staff Chris Murray, Heather Montague, Randy Boyd, Jeff Allen, Jason Holmes, Wake County Maintenance Engineer-Chris McGee, and Division 5's District 1 Engineer-Brandon Jones, met with Christina Breen and John Hennessy at NCDWQ's office. Because it had been determined that there is not space to install a outlet dissipater and the blowhole is expected to heal itself overtime, it was concluded that from a water quality stand point control of sediment was the greatest concern at this site. Since that NCDOT maintenance crews have already completed the requested stabilization measures along with additional efforts to ensure stabilization, we propose that control of sediment loss has been accomplished. No additional work at this site or within the stream channel is proposed. SUMMARY Post construction conditions at this site have not increased surface water impacts or riparian buffer impacts as previously permitted (as all activity falls within the construction limits as described in the 02/11/05 letter). However, the conflicts of pipe burial and the use of riprap as hard stabilization were not previously addressed. Attached for your review, please see the revised drawing and post construction photographs. By copy of this letter, a modification to the referenced permits is hereby requested.

As a resident living on Kyle Drive, my property is adjacent to the Beaverdam Branch. One of the major concern I have is the stromwater runoff. Over the past 60 years I have witnessed the transformation of a well drained branch to a wide flat marsh with the elevation at road level. I am referring to the area between Louisburg Road and Kyle Drive. This has occurred due to lack of proper silt control during the time Louisburg Road was originally built. Of course the construction of subdivisions and apartments in the area has also contributed to the problem. There are three strands of barbwire covered by the washing silt. The wire encompassed land that was formally utilized as pastureland. This was further evidenced when the City installed a sewer outfall line down Beaverdam Branch to connect to the Neuse River line. I believe the contractor referred to this as a floating line. When the city had the sewer line installed, the contractor re-routed the run of the branch located near and the north side of Kyle Drive more to the east. The branch meanders toward Kyle Drive from Louisburg Road to a point. It then makes a 90 degree turn to the west along Kyle Drive to a point, and then takes another 90 degree turn to allow the water to flow under Kyle Drive. I mention this because a dam affect has been created which adds to the cause of flooding. I believe another problem is with the size of the culvert under Kyle Drive. While it is adequate for the normal amount of water flowing, it does appear to be inadequate for the amount of stormwater surges we experience during severe rain storms. The culvert may have been OK when it was installed forty years ago but does not appear to be adequate for today. I would appreciate your studying this problem and lend some assistance in alleviating the problem. The shoulder of the road is being eroded to the point that it has become a hazard should a car run off the road along this area. Sincerely, ordan L.

After reviewing your application, we have decided that the stream impacts and riparian buffer impacts described are covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3494 and 3366. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 3 and the Nationwide Permit 33 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). 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.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless approved otherwise by this certification. 3.) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers.

Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 5.) 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. 6.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. 7.) 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. 8.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 9.) 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. 10.) 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. 11.) Pursuant to NCACI5A 2B.0233(6), sediment and.erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Neuse River Buffer without -prior approval by the N.CDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover, sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow. 12.) 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. 13.) 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. .. 14.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened 15.) 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. 16.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions. 17.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1. N. C.

EASLEY GOVERNOR February 11, 2005 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27609 Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator p@m0ni P FEB 1 5 2005 DENR - WATER QUALITY WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY Subject: Proposed maintenance pipe improvement to a structure conveying Beaverdam Creek on SR 2213 (Kyle Drive) in Wake County. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace a pipe conveying Beaverdam Creek on SR 2213 (Kyle Drive) in Wake County (Figures 1 - 4). Please note that Kyle Drive is currently a paved roadway and information concerning this maintenance activity is provided below: Impacts to Waters of the United States Site 1 - Waters of the U.S. Maintenance activities at this site will impact a perennial stream, Beaverdam Creek [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-27, Best Usage Classification C NSW; HUC 03020201] (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 48 inch corrugated metal pipe (cmp) that is 48 feet long (Photographs 1-2). Please note that the existing structure is deteriorated and is undersized which has resulted in repeated flooding and a failed roadway shoulder. The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a double line of 48 inch cmps that are 55 feet long with metal headwalls. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the construction of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sheet piling in the creek at the ten feet upstream and ten feet downstream limits the of construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure include 7 linear feet existing channel impacted. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately ten days. To maintain water flow during construction, water upstream of the sheet piling will be temporarily pumped out and conveyed around downstream of the sheet piling. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 27 linear feet of stream. The sheet piling will be removed after construction. Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 Riparian Buffer Site 1 - Buffers The maintenance at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rules. The perennial stream, Beaverdam Creek, at Site 1 is depicted on the most recent version of the Raleigh East (USGS 1968,1987) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) and the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS, 1970) (Figure 2). Construction impacts at this site total 1,922 ftZ in Zone 1 and 0 ftz in Zone 2 (totaling 7 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is EXEMPT. Waters of the U.S. Mitigation Avoidance: All wetlands and 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 wetlands or near surface waters. Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites. Com enp satory Miti ag tion: Unavoidable impacts to 7 linear feet of stream associated with this project will be mitigated (at a 2:1 ratio) by providing 14 linear feet of stream restoration equivalent in the Neuse River Basin (Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03020201). All compensatory mitigation requirements will be assimilated on a quarterly basis and provided to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for their acceptance with a copy provided to the USACE for verification and accounting purposes. Protected Species Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered, and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the ESA. As of January 29, 2003, there are four federally protected species listed for Wake County. They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterdon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). Kyle Drive is not adjacent to nor is it surrounded by open water suitable of supporting foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The dense stands of mixed hardwood surrounding this roadway do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker. Although Beaverdam Creek is perennial, it is within the headwaters of its drainage system and does not provide suitable habitat for mussel fauna. Additionally, the roadway shoulders along Kyle Drive are heavily maintained from the pavement to the woods line and maintained yards, eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the 11/16/04 site visit, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species. Summary The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing undersized and deteriorated structure. Permanent impacts at the site associated with this maintenance work include 7 linear feet existing channel impacted. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately ten days. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 27 linear feet of stream. The sheet piling will be removed after construction. Riparian buffer impacts at Site 1 associated with this maintenance activity total 1,922 ft' in Zone 1 and 0 ft' in Zone 2 (totaling 7 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts outside the existing transportation facility). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is EXEMPT. Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3 and NWP 33. Additionally, this application provides notification to the NCDWQ as Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3376 and No. 3366 will be utilized for activities at this site. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP, WQC, and riparian buffer conditions. A pre-construction notification is attached with this request.

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. All surface waters not affected by construction will be protected from unnecessary encroachment durinj4 construction. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters will be enforced during construction. Only the smallest amount of fill necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States or protected riparian buffers. 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 htW://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrngide.html. Page 5 of 8 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. 14 ft of stream restoration by payment in the Ecosystem Enhancement Program 2.
