All impacts will be to unnamed tributaries* to North Fork Crooked Creek for the purpose of extending the road
shoulder as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on September 1,
2004 and additional information received on September 21, 2004. The location of the project is State Road
1501(Idlewild Road/Secrest Shortcut Road) from the Mecklenburg County line to State Road 1139 (Rocky
River Road) in Union County. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered
by Water Quality General Certification Number 3404. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit
Number 14 issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 permit 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 below and in
the attached certification.
1. 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. 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.
2. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
3. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel, when possible, in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
4. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic
conditions can be provided.
5. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
6. 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.
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. All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
9. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of
such BMP in order to protect surface water standards:
a. 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 pit sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
b. 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.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
10. 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 30 days after the Division of Land Resources has
released the project.

11. 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.
12. Upon completion of the project, the applicant 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.
13. Continuing Compliance. NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with state water quality
standards [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.
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, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 telephone Polly Lespinasse in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-
1699.

Subject: NC Moving Ahead Project No. MA10121 R, Union County. WBS Element No. 37687
(DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200.00).
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to improve the safety of SR 1501
(Idlewild Road/Secrest Shortcut Road) by paving two feet of road shoulder in each travel lane and
improving four intersections from the Mecklenburg County line to the intersection of SR 1 139 (Rocky
River Road). The total project length is 5.9 miles and has been identified by the North Carolina Moving
Ahead program as a safety improvement project.
Protected Species
The subject project has been reviewed for the presence of listed threatened and endangered species. It has
been determined that the construction of this project could potentially effect a population of Helianthus
schweinit:ii (Schweinitz's Sunflower) located near the 1600 block of Secrest Shortcut Road (35° 04' 22.7-
N / 080° 36' 34.8" W).
This population of plants was originally identified in 2003 by Mr. Larry Thompson of this office and has
been continuously monitored since that time by our Roadside Environmental staff who indicate that
anthropogenic activities in the area continue to threaten this population. The closest jurisdictional crossing
is located approximately 1.02 miles northwest of the sunflowers.
It is the desire of the NCDOT to reach an agreement with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service which would
allow the Department to relocate any threatened plants to the Piedmont prairie that is slated to be
constructed in Union County's Cane Creek Park this fiscal year.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
This project cannot be completed without impacts to waters of the United States. The project is located
within the Yadkin River Basin (Hydrologic Unit # 03040105), affecting the drainage of five unnamed
tributaries to North Fork Crooked Creek. There will be approximately 130 linear feet of permanent
impacts to the existing stream channels as a result of the proposed construction.
716 West Main Street, Albemarle, NC 28001 • [phone] • Fax [phone]
There will be one impact to an intermittent stream. Table I includes information related to site number,
stream name, existing pipe length (ft), existing pipe width (in), proposed replacement or extended pipe
length (ft) and width (in).

Note: "UT" refers to unnamed tributary.
The NCDOT believes that these pipe replacements can be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide
Permit 14.
Avoidance/Minimization
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 construction. Continued
coordination will occur between maintenance forces and the Division Environmental Officer during
construction in an effort to minimize impacts to jurisdictional sites.
Summary
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization to construct the proposed project under Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14. Application is also made to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) for the Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. GC3404 that is required in order to
construct this project. If you have any questions or need any additional information concerning this project,
please feel free to contact Mr. Larry Thompson, Division Environmental Officer, at [phone].

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 wetlands or surface waters not affected by this project will be protected from unnecessary
encroachment The staging of construction equipment will not be allowed in or near wetlands or
waters of the United States Strict enforcement of sediment and erosion Best Management
Practices 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 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
http•//h2o enr state nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. 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.
No mitigation is proposed for this project

NIA 10 121 It
Union County
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 htto:// i2o.enr.st ite.nc.uqwrp/index.htm. 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):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federaUstate/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)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required. call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
