TROGmN, III SECRETARY Subject: Request for Modification and Renewal of Section 404 Individual Permit and Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the U-2579B Section of the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway, from US 158 to I-40 Business/US 421, Forsyth County, Division 9, WBS 34839.2.10 Reference: Section 404 Individual Permit — Action ID No. SAW-2009-03183, issued June 17, 2014 and modifications issued July 2, 2014 and February 21, 2019 Section 401 Water Quality Certification — NCDWR Project No. 2014090 issued April 11, 2014 and modifications issued July 18, 2014 and December 17, 2018 Dear Madam: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) requests an After the Fact (ATF) modification and permit renewal for the Winston -Salem Northern Beltway Eastern Section from US 158 to I-40, B Section of the U-2579 TIP. This project is currently under construction and the permit issued in 2014 will expire this year on December 31, 2019. The current modification request for this project is due to impacts associated with Martin Mill Creek, near Permit site 8. The modification has already been installed and previously explained in an email (dated January 31, 2019) to the USACE and NCDWR from the Division. The creek migrated significantly since the project construction started and was undermining the fill slope for the bridge. To correct the stream migration that had taken place, a channel was installed past the bridge, through the sand, lining the banks with rip rap and reconnecting with the stream on the other side of the previously migrated channel. Attached you will find the plan sheet with the original location of the stream and the new location with the installed channel and additional photographs of the area. The new permit site, Martin Mill Creek, is located near site 8 and named site 8A. At this new site, there are 144 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and 40 linear feet of temporary stream impacts. With this modification the project will now have 10,744 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and 1,788 linear feet of temporary stream impacts. The total wetland impacts remain the same at 1.96 acres.

This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on January 17, 2014 and November 20, 2018. DMS commits to implementing additional sufficient compensatory stream mitigation credits to offset the impacts associated with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section F.3.c.iii of the In -Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010. If the above referenced impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from DMS. 8420.

We have had multiple large events (100+ year storms) in the area. We have a few locations where streams are undermining or will undermine our fill slopes and need to be addressed for long term stability. One area is downstream of the culvert on Smith Creek. There are a few locations along Smith Creek that we are going to investigate further to determine the appropriate method. The fill in this area hasn't been installed yet, so we have a little more time to come up with a plan. The other area is permit site 8. Martin Mill Creek has migrated significantly since the project started and is now undermining the fill slope for the bridge. I have included a plan sheet that shows the original location of the stream and the new locations, and a couple pictures. In the first picture you can see the amount of sand that has been deposited forcing the stream to migrate away from it and toward our slope. I outlined the new channel location. In the second picture, you can see rip rap in the distance (circled in red). This is where the stream has migrated to and is undermining the fill slope. The plan here would be to install a channel with the banks lined with rip rap through the sand and connect with the stream on the other side, and fill the old channel. I would like to know if you are ok with us proceeding with this repair and submitting a permit modification package for all sites at the same time. Let me know your thoughts.
