SubJject: Nationwide Permit # 14 SR-1544 Chatham County
Project # 8C.0190084 (DWQ Permit Fee $240)
Ms. Gregory:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Highway Division 8 is requesting Nationwide
Permit Number 14 and the corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification for project # 8C.0190084 on SR 1544
( Lashley Road) in Chatham County. The proposed project will replace an existing deficient crossing pipe as
follows:
Site 1- Replace existing 2 lines of 30"x 42' RCP with a 2 lines 42"x 44' CUT (with 2x 8' FES) total =60'.
Site 2- Replace existing 1 line of 72" x 40' CMP with 128'x 83'x 60' CMP with knee walls.
These pipes are being replaced in anticipation of a scheduled grading and paving project. The amount of pipe length
increase is needed to allow for the widening of the roadbed. The total percentage of impervious surface within the
project area will remain at less than 20%. All erosion control devices used on the project will be appropriate to the
location and in compliance with the current version of the NCDOT Best Management Practices manual (BMP). The
crossings are located on Unnamed Tributaries of The Haw River, a class WS-IV; NSW stream within the Cape Fear
River basin. All construction activities at this location will be done in compliance with conditions listed in the
current BMP manual, for projects built within areas of Water Supply Watersheds. Construction will be done under
dry conditions with the use of dewatering devices when needed. There were no threatened or endangered species
observed within the project area during the required minimum criteria check. The project is outside of the critical
habitat area of the Cape Fear Shiner. The project is on a loop road. Any detours will utilize existing state roads.
If you require any additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely,

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
Page 9 of 12
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/striiigide.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.
NA
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 http:/%h2o enr state nc.Lis;wrp/iiidex.litm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
