EASLEY DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS GOVERNOR May 9, 2008 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Attn: Mr. Brian Wrenn 401 Wetlands Certification Unit 2321 Crabtree Boulevard Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 W. LYNDO TIPPErr SECRETARY 080803 Subject: Union County - Pipe Replacement on SR 1508 (Poplin Road) WBS Element No. 10B.209011 Dear Mr. Wrenn: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace an existing cross pipe on SR 1508 (Poplin Road) in Union County. The purpose of the proposed project is to correct a substandard turn lane that has been installed by a private developer north of a jurisdictional stream crossing. The construction of this project would require a pipe upgrade on an unnamed tributary to North Fork Crooked Creek which is located in the Yadkin River Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03040105. The existing 72 inch by 44 foot long corrugated metal pipe is in poor condition and almost vertical shoulder slopes above the inlet and outlet to the pipe. The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing pipe with a 73 inch by 55 inch by 60 foot long corrugated metal pipe (arched). The NCDOT anticipates that this project will be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit No. 14 and we are requesting authorization from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality to utilize the corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification GC3704 based upon the enclosed information. If you have any questions or need any additional information regarding this request, please contact Mr. Larry Thompson, Division Environmental Supervisor, at (704) 982-0101. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Barry S.

Surface waters not affected by the construction of this project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. The staging of construction equipment will not be allowed in or near jurisdictional stream crossings. Sediment and erosion control devices will be monitored and maintained 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. 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 NCEEP 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.enT.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html 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. Any requests received for mitigation will be routed through the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program. Page 6 SR 1508 (Poplin Road) Union County 2.
