WATER QUA
LITYSECT10
Dear Mr. Spainhour: 1V
Replacements, Ltd. has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 134
linear feet of intermittent stream and in 0.007 acre of wetlands for the purpose of relocating Knox Road in
eastern Guilford County from its present alignment to a more northern route as depicted and described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on July 29, 2004. After reviewing your
application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404,
which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to
use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you
should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project,
including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water
Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires
unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as
well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile is
not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing
stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the location
of the culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the stream. If the
culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the culvert is
installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The Applicant
must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting that will
occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
2. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the

normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the streambed must be inserted into the bed matrix to a depth sufficient to
provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the streambed must not be
increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in destabilization of the
streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing.
3. All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct
stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize
water quality impacts.
4. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
This certificate should be returned to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality at the
address listed on the bottom of the first page. Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send
photographs upstream and downstream of the culvert site to document correct installation.
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
which 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 Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-
4600 or Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721.

Site visit made on 09/09/2004. The site is in the proposed corridor for the relocation of Knox Road in
eastern Guilford County and is located 625' north of the existing east-west alignment of Knox Roars
which is currently parallel with and immediately adjacent to the north side of the Replacements Ltd,
facili . The proposed impacts consist of fill to 0.007 acre of wetlands (337 square feet) and the
installation of 119 If of culvert and 15 If of riprap to an unnamed tributary to Little Alamance Creek.
These impacts are associated with the relocation of a section of Knox Road. This relocated section
will cross two unnamed tributaries to Little Alamance Creek. A precast concrete bridge will be used
to cross the larger, perennial tributary, while the proposed culvert will be installed to allow crossing of
the smaller, intermittent tributary. This culvert will be installed just north of the confluence of the two
tributaries. The precast concrete bridge will completely span the perennial tributary, avoiding impacts
to the channel and banks. The rational for relocation is to improve traffic safety and grant access to
the area currently under development

Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina
ECS Project G-8926A
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Please find seven copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application for the above referenced
site. The project consists of the realignment of Knox Road in Greensboro. The location of the road was
determined by road safety design requirements for curve radius as established by NC DOT. The road is
located in an area where two unnamed tributaries to Little Alamance Creek converge (Figure 1). The
eastern most tributary (#2 on the exhibits prepared by Borum Wade and Associates, P.A.) is an
unimportant/intermittent channel. In order to reduce the impact to this channel, the road will cross at ,a
near 90 degree angle. In addition, 2:1 side slopes and the use of headwalls has reduced the impact at this
location by approximately 36 feet. Approximately 134 linear feet of stream will be impacted with 72"
RCP and a small rip-rap pad outlet. The road will also cross a perennial/important stream channel. In
order to avoid impacting this channel, a precast concrete bridge with an open bottom will be used to span
the creek. This area is designated as #3 on the exhibits. Approximately 0.007 acre wetland (#1 on the
exhibits) located to the west of the perennial stream channel will be impacted by the road.
Due to avoidance and minimization, this project will result in only 134 linear feet of impact to an
unimportant/intermittent stream channel and 0.007 acre of wetland impact. Because these are minor
impacts, mitigation should not be required and none is proposed.
On behalf of Replacements Ltd., I am requesting that a 401 Water Quality Certification be issued to
authorize the impact to 134 linear feet of intermittent/unimportant stream channel and 0.007 acre of
wetlands. Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this
request or if additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely consideration of
this matter.

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.
The location of the road was determined by road safetv design reauirements for curve
radius as established by NC DOT. The road is located in an area where two unnamed
tributaries to Little Alamance Creek converge. The eastern most tributary (#2) is an
unimportant/intermittent channel. In order to reduce the impact to this channel, the road
will cross at a near 90 degree angle. In addition, 2:1 side slopes and the use of headwalls
Page 5 of 9
has reduced the impact at this location by approximately 36 feet. Approximately 134 linear
feet of stream will be impacted with 72" RCP and a small rip-rap pad outlet. The road will
also cross it perennial/important stream channel. In order to avoid impacting this channel,
a precast concrete bridge with an open bottom will be used to span the creek. This area is
designated as #3 on the exhibits.
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
htti)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnnaide.htinl.
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.
Due to avoidance and minimization, this project will result in only 134 linear feet of
impact to an unimportant/intermittent stream channel and 0.007 acres of wetland
impact. Because these are minor impacts, mitigation should not be required and none
is proposed.
Page 6 of 9
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCVATRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http:/ih2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes X 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 X 15A NCAC 1C.0408 (minor construction activities)
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Yes ? No X If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?

of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
The site consists of the right of way of Knox Road. Appropriate measures will be installed
to control stormwater and erosion associated with the road construction.

XN. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
