Subject: Nationwide Permit #14 & #33 MODIFICATION
SR 1127 (Shawnee Road)
Watauga County, North Cazolina
Project Number: 110.095066 (DWQ Permit Fee: $475)
Dear Mr. Matthews:
The NC Department of Transportation has now obtained right-of--way on a previously gapped
section of the subject route from stations 16+30 - 25+63. Construction of the entire project will
begin later this yeaz. Additional impacts/modifications will be depicted in bold below.
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base and pave SR 1127,
Shawnee Road in Watauga County. Total project length is approximately 1.77 miles. The
roadway width will increase from 18' to 20'. Impervious surface area will increase by 0.43 acres.
This project will require the replacement of eleven (11) wet pipes as shown on page 2. Please
note that the pipe at station 9+60 ~ being shortened to take the creek directly across the road, and
will therefore eliminate the wet ditch running through the pipe at station 9+00 (which will be
removed). The pipe at station 27+25 carries overflow from a spring box and as a result was
excluded from jurisdictional consideration. Also note that the project is gapped from station
102+68 - 138+32.
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Watauga
River Basin. All wet pipes carry different unnamed tributaries to Shawneehaw Creek (Class: C,
Trout). This project was reviewed for the presence of threatened and endangered species on
October 12, 2004. This project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or
alumal species. The State Historic Preservation Office has reviewed this project and did not
request any survey work.

* Due to slope, the wet pipes at stations 17+50, 18+25, 24+20, 38+10, 40+40, and 47+85 will
remain perched when replaced. Riprap energy dissipater pads will be placed in the stream
channels under these pipe outlets to prevent further scour at these locations.
Temporary dewatering will be necessary at all wet pipe replacement locations. An
impervious dike will be constructed approximately 20 feet upstream of the existing structures to
create a small pool. Clean water will temporarily be pumped around the construction areas and
will be discharged downstream. Any dirty water located inside of the construction areas will be
pumped into a silt bag if necessary. Total dewatered area for all wet pipe replacements will
be 0.044 acres. Once the new structures are in place, the impervious dikes will be removed and
preconstruction streambed elevation will be restored.
The proposed project should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Pipe sizes used
will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. By utilizing the erosion control
measures outlined in the attachments to this application, downstream water quality standards will
be protected. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets for the previously gapped section
with proposed erosion control measures, a marked county map, a marked topography map and
photographs.
By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me. Please note that we have already obtained
a trout buffer variance for construction of this project. We will request that this variance be
modified to include a slight increase in buffer impacts to unnamed tributaries to Shawneehaw
Creek in the vicinity of station 17+00 (Rt.).

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.
By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings adverse impacts to
streams in the area will be minimized. Since this is an existing roadway the stream impacts
cannot be avoided. However the replacement pipe lengths will be the minimum needed to
safely construct the paved roadway. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction
Page 7 of 12

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 lineaz feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - 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 USAGE 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.
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/lineaz 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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Thomas, USACOE
Raleigh Regulatory Field Oftice
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator /~
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: December 1, 2004
SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), SR1127, Shawnee Road,
Unnamed Tributaries Shawneehaw Creek (Class C, Trout), Watauga County
NCDOT proposes to grade, drain, base and pave SR1127. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission are familiar with habitat values in the area. These comments are provided in
accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 113A-10;
NCAC 25).
The project will require the replacement of eight (8) wet pipes ranging in diameter from 18" to 48". Total
new stream impacts will be 190 linear feet, including 80 linear feet of miscellaneous riprap. A
temporary dewatering process will allow the project to be accomplished in the dry. Rainbow, brown and
some brook trout are present throughout the project area. The Green floater, Lasmigona subviridis (NCE,
FSC) was documented earlier this year for portions of the Watauga River drainage. The Beech Creek
Bog, a NC Parks Natural Area is located beside portions of this road.
Based on our review of the submittal and our knowledge of the area, we will not object to the project as
proposed providing the following conditions are followed and properly implemented:
1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during
the brown and brook trout spawning season of October I S through April 15 to protect the egg
and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during construction.
Z. Culverts 48" diameter or larger should be buried a foot into the streambed. Culverts less than
48" diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% their size to allow for
aquatic life passage. These measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths. All
waters must flow through without freefalling or damming on either end during low flow
conditions to maintain aquatic life and/or fish passage.

3. Any riprap used must be installed so as not to interfere with aquatic life movement during
low flows where practicable.
4. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the pipes should not be
modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
5. Where disturbed, floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic
conditions.
6. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact
stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and
causing a fish kill.
7. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream channel in order
to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the
stream.
8. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained
until project completion.
9. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within five
(5) days of ground disturbing activities in the twenty-five (25) foot trout buffer to provide
long-term erosion control. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials
for streambank stabilization when practicable.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the early planning stages. If
you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact meat 336/769-9453.

Dear 1/Ir. Pettyjohn:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur the following impacU
in order to widen, pave and improve traffic safety on SR 1127 (Sha«nee Rd) in Watauga County.
• 190 linear feet of new piping impacts to eight (8) unnamed tributaries to the Shaw~neehaw Creek (110 feet of new pipe
and 80 feet of rip-rap);
Temporary dewatering impacts of approximately 0.003 (total) acres at stations 38+10 and 47+8j,
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated November 17, 2004 (received November 29,
2004). After reviewing your application, w'e have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Nos. 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Natiomvide Permit Numbers 14 and 33. 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 Division of Water Quality (Division) and submit a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and certifications, 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 if
total impacts to streams (now or in the fuhire) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 1 ~A NCAC 2H .006 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions
listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
NCDOT will adhere to the requests made in the attached letter from the NCDENR Division of Parks and
Recreation in order to reduce long-term impacts to the adjacent Beech Creek Bog.
Shawneehaw Creek and its tributaries are classified as Trout waters. NCDOT shall strictly adhere to the Best
tl~lanagemerct Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT August 2003) and Sedimentation and
Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [ 15A NCAC 4B .0124 (a)-(e)] throughout design and
construction of the project.
Instream work and land disturbance within the 2~ foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the brown and
brook trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site
sedimentation during construction.

4. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface
waters standards:
a. The erosion and sCdltlle'tlt contl-ol measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sedirrrerlt and Erosion Control
Planning and Design ,Ifanuul.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the reyuirements specified in the most recent version of the ,'Forth Carolina
.Sediment arrd Erosion Cartrvl Afaruurl. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. 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,~finiag;l'taruurl.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
>. No waste, spoil, solids, or till of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint oti
the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation; operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
6. 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 six months of the completion of the project.
7. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
8. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site
for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of
existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater sheet flow.
9. ~'~'here practicable, culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater
than 20% of their size to allo„~ for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch in diameter or larger should be
buried at least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established
in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. These
measurements must be based on natural tllalweg depths. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to
meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced,
and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographica]ly unfeasible. All waters must flow
through without freefalling or damming on either end of the culverts during low flow conditions, to maintain
aquatic life and!or fish passage.
10. Due to extreme slopes present at stations 38+10, 40+40, and 47+85, these pipes will not be b~Iried as indicated
above, but an energy dissipater pads will be placed in the channel below the pipe outlet to reduce scour as
appropriate.
11. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below any crossing should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
12. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomolphic conditions.
13. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted when practical.
If rip-rap is necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark, and vegetation must be
used for stabilization above high water. Any rip-rap used must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low
flow conditions.
f ~l. If concrete is used, work must be accomplished so the wet concrete does not contact the stream water. This will
lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill.

1 ~. I Ieavy 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.
16. All trnchanized eyuipment 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.
17. 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 imrrtediate
vicinity of the culverts.
18. Temporary' dewatering sites must be restored to preexisting conditions unless more natural geomorphic conditions
can be provided.
19. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
20. 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/V~'etlands Unit of the Division of ~'i'ater Quality upon
completion of the project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
