Conditions that were discussed
Condition 6: Suitable Material No activity may use unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris,
car bodies, asphalt, etc.). Material used for construction or discharged must be free from toxic
pollutants in toxic amounts (see section 307 of the Clean Water Act). For any fill we will use Sawyer's commercial
source.
Condition 11: Equipment: Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed
on mats, or other measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
Condition 21: Discovery of Previously Unknown Remains and Artifacts. If you discover
any previously unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and artifacts while
accomplishing the activity authorized by this permit, you must immediately notify the district
engineer of what you have found, and to the maximum extent practicable, avoid construction
activities that may affect the remains and artifacts until the required coordination has been
completed. The district engineer will initiate the Federal, Tribal, and state coordination
required to determine if the items or remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site is eligible
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. We need to stop and see if we need to do any surveys.
Condition 2: The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit
drawings submitted for approval. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)].
Drawings that was submitted has been revised on July 9, 2019.
Condition 3: The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by
this authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification. [15A NCAC 02H.0501
and .0502]. We will use orange fence and marked flags.
Condition 4: During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of
the U.S. or protected riparian buffers. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]. We will use safety fence.

Condition 5: All mechanized equipment 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. [15A
NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
Condition 8: When applicable, all construction activities shall be performed and maintained in full compliance with
G.S. Chapter 113A Article 4 (Sediment and Pollution Control Act of 1973). Regardless of applicability of the
Sediment and Pollution Control Act, all projects shall incorporate appropriate Best Management Practices for
the control of sediment and erosion so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules
occur. [15A NCAC 02H .0506{b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 02B .0200
Condition 9: Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or surface waters or within 5
feet of the top of bank without prior approval from DWR. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]. We will use
Erosion & Control matting, using Coir Fiber Mat or Natural Fiber Mat.
Condition 11: If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, then
design and placement of temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
disequilibrium of wetlands, stream beds, or banks, adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above
structures. All sediment and erosion control devices shall be removed from wetlands and waters and the
natural grade restored within two (2) months of the date that the Division of Energy, Mining and Land
Resources (DEMLR) or locally delegated program has released the specific area within the project. [15A
NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
Condition 12: As a condition of this 401 Water Quality Certification, the bridge demolition and construction must
be accomplished in strict compliance with the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices for
Construction and Maintenance Activities. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5)]
Condition 13: Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream to the maximum extent practicable.
Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and pre-treated through site -appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-
formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) where possible before entering the stream. To meet the requirements of
NCDOT's NPDES permit NCS0000250, please refer to the most recent version of the North Carolina
Department of Transportation Stormwater Best Management Practices Toolbox manual for approved measures.
[15A NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5)]
Condition 14: All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge, temporary work bridges,
temporary causeways, or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges, they shall be floated into
position and then sunk. The barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position. Under no
circumstances should barges be dragged along the bottom of the surface water. [15A NCAC
02H .0506(b)(3)]
Condition 15: Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles (hammer or vibratory) or drilled shaft
construction methods. More specifically, jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without prior
written approval from the NCDWR first. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
Condition 17: No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter
surface waters. This water shall be captured, treated, and disposed of properly. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) We
will also evaluate tide.
Condition IS: A turbidity curtain will be installed in the stream if driving or drilling activities occur within the
stream channel, on the stream bank, or within 5 feet of the top of bank, or during the removal of bents from an old
bridge. This condition can be waived with prior approval from the NCDWR. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)

Condition 19: Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2B.0259(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in
Zone 1 of any Tar -Pamlico Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWR. At this time, the NCDWR has approved
no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this
project. Moreover, sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided
that Zone 1 is not compromised, and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
Condition 20: All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be
restored to the preconstruction contours and revegetated. Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with
nonwoody species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this
condition, maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to
regular NCDOT maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non -maintained buffers shall be
permanently revegetated with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of
construction. (15A NCAC 213.0259).
Condition 21: All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheet flow through stream buffers at non -erosive velocities,
unless otherwise approved by this certification. (15A NCAC 2B.0259)

the riparian buffer are prohibited [15A NCAC 2B.0259(6)].

reevaluate and modify this certification. [15A NCAC 02B.0200].
Condition 27: The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Resources

Greg Daisey discussed 72612-Permit Replacing of Bridge 935 over Branch of Slade Creek 83x3Oft bridge on
existing alignment, with an off -set detour in cooperating 140ft of steel sheeting stabilization, overhead power, water
line, and telephone line. Special conditions were discussed.
David Knoll stated from S.T. Wooten that they would do the sheeting first and use safety fence or orange silt fence
for the erosion control. Black silt is already out there near waterline. On January 13, 2020 which will also be the
start date of project and they will meet with surveyors. Paul Williams will make call with vegetation and pulling of
silt fence up if it's stable. Maintenance will pull up silt fence.
