APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Conditions and Neuse Buffer Rules
Bobby L. Murray
PO Box 40659
Raleigh, NC 27629
Dear Mr. Murray:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 139 linear feet of stream channel and the
associated riparian buffers in Wake County for the purpose of road crossing construction as you described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality on July 28, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this action
is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
14 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but
not limited to) 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 only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified below. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this 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) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided
in the General Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below and in the attached certification.
1. Stormwater shall be directed to flow at non-erosive velocities across the entire protected stream buffers.
2. A final, written stormwater management plan for stormwater runoff from this project shall be approved by this office before the
impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for
stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater
Best Management Practices Manual. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the stormwater facilities,
as approved by this Office, shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan, as approved by this Office,
shall be implemented.
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, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing. y
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 John Dorney at 919-733-9646.

UTM Coordinates: Zone 17, 703540E, 3973840N RECEIVED
Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Tugwell:
On behalf of the City of Raleigh, we hereby notify the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
and request written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NC -
DWQ) of our client's intent to utilize Nationwide Permit 14 and its associated 401 Water Quality
Certification for the subject project to cover permanent impacts to an unnamed tributary of Pots
Branch. A Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes an agent
authorization form completed by the property owner, Bobby L. Murray. The connector road
begins at Ebenezer Church Road, runs generally west, and ends at US 70 approximately 1600
feet northwest of its intersection with Ebenezer Church Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. Please
refer to Figure 1- Location Map for the location of the connector road on a USGS topographic
quadrangle.
Impacts to waters of the US resulting from the project consist of one stream crossing; impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands have been avoided. A copy of the preliminary wetland delineation map
and the associated data forms are attached. Approximately 139 linear feet of intermittent stream
channel, which has an average width of 4 feet, will be placed in a culvert to construct the
connector road. The total impact to the stream channel will be 556 square feet (0.013 acre).
Figure 2 - Site Plan/Impact Map depicts the connector road alignment. It is important to note
that the project is not located within a 100-year floodplain.

Page 2 of 2
The USACE's current policy requires mitigation for impacts that exceed the requirements for
notification. Because impacts resulting from the project do not exceed 1/10 of an acre or involve
a discharge into a special aquatic site, notification to the USACE is not required. NC - DWQ's
current policy does not require mitigation for road crossing impacts to intermittent stream
channels. Therefore, S&EC believes that mitigation should not be required.
The stream channel that will be crossed by the connector road is subject to the Neuse River
Basin (NRB) riparian buffer rules. The project will impact approximately 0.33 acre of riparian
buffer. It is important to note that the tributary located upstream of the crossing is not subject to
the NRB riparian buffer rules. Written confirmation from Mr. Danny Smith of NC - DWQ
regarding the subjectivity of features present on the site is attached. The attached "no practical
alternatives" letter provided by Spaulding & Norris explains the constraints that prevented
crossing the stream at a more perpendicular angle. Current NC - DWQ policy allows road
crossings without mitigation if the impacts are less than or equal to 150 linear feet of stream
channel or 1/3 of an acre of riparian buffer. Because the project impacts are within these
thresholds, S&EC believes that riparian buffer mitigation should not be required.
Information required for the triage process is attached for your convenience. Please do not
hesitate to call if you have any questions or require additional information.

Subject: Neuse River Basin Riparian Rules
Bacarri (Hwy. 70)
NBR-RRO- 170
Durham County
Dear Mr. Roberts:
I met with you at a proposed development along Hwy 70 near the junction of Ebenezer
Church Road. At your request, an evaluation was perfonned to determine whether two
(2) features as indicated by a blue high lighter on the attached map would require
compliance with the Neuse River Buffer requirements. (Please note: these are the only
features that I reviewed). Feature # 1 as indicated on the attached map is a stream and is
subject to the Riparian Buffer Rule. Feature # 2 as indicated on the attached map is not
a stream and is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule.
Also, the attached map indicates a proposed road pathway crossing the subject stream.
The intent of this correspondence is not to provide Regional concurrence with the
placement of the proposed road crossing foot print, only what is subject to the Neuue
Riparian Buffer Rule.
In addition, in accordance with the rule, concentrated runoff from new ditches or
manmade conveyances must be dispersed into sheet flow before the runoff enters Zone
2 of the riparian area.
If you have any questions please call this office at [phone].
Sincerely,

Re: Ebenezer Church Road/US 70 Connector
Dear Kevin:
The above referenced project is part of the City of Raleigh's US 70 Connector Road
program. This program involves providing the construction of connector roads to reduce
the amount of traffic on US 70. The program involves City of Raleigh funding for roads
and utilities. Most of the connector road locations have been set with right of way
already dedicated. In our case, the right of way was not dedicated, but our location is
set at US 70 because we must align with right of way already dedicated on the opposite
side of US 70. What this means is our road alignment has no room to move. Please
proceed with obtaining permits from NCDENR necessary for road construction as shown
on the design plans.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at 319-9393.
Sincerely,
L
