SUBJECT: Review of Scoping Sheets for SR 1365 (Stallings Road) from SR 1009 (Old Monroe
Road) to US 74, Union County, F.A. Project MASTP-1365(1) State Project No.
8.2692601, TIP No. U-3825. State Clearinghouse Project 03-0333
In reply to your correspondence dated May 23, 2003 (received May 27, 2002) in which you requested
comments for the referenced project, preliminary analysis of the project indicates that the following water
resources in Hydrologic Unit 030712 will be impacted:
Stream (Index) Water Quali Classification
¦ South Fork Crooked Creek (13-17-20-2) C; 303(d) list of impaired waters
NC Division of Water Quality has the following comments:
Environmental Documentation
A. The environmental document should provide a detailed and itemized presentation of the proposed
impacts to wetlands and streams with corresponding mapping. There should be a discussion on
mitigation plans for unavoidable impacts. If mitigation is required, it is preferable to present a
conceptual (if not finalized) mitigation plan with the environmental documentation. While the
NCDWQ realizes that this may not always be practical, it should be noted that for projects
requiring mitigation, appropriate mitigation plans will be required prior to issuance of a 401 Water
Quality Certification.
B. The letter was not specific as to the extent of the improvements to SR 1365 being contemplated. A
quantitative analysis of cumulative and secondary impacts anticipated as a result of this project
may be required.
Design & Construction
A. The DWQ requests that DOT adhere to North Carolina regulations entitled, "Design Standards in
Sensitive Watersheds" (15A NCAC 04B .0124) and use Best Management Practices for the
Protection of Surface Waters (March 1997) throughout the design and construction of this project
due to the presence of §303(d)-listed streams.
B. Within the Yadkin-Pee Dee Basin, sedimentation and storm water runoff are major water quality
concerns. In order to reduce sedimentation in receiving waters, same day seeding and mulching is
strongly encouraged. Storm water runoff from the project should be designed to be directed to
grassed swales, buffer areas, preformed scour holes, retention basins or other site-appropriate
means of receiving pre-treatment, rather than routed directly into streams.
C. NCDOT shall be aware that local riparian buffer ordinances may apply to this project. NCDWQ is

intermittent and perennial streams as a result of the Monroe Bypass and Monroe Connector
projects.
D. Sediment and erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands. Sediment should be
removed from any water pumped from behind a cofferdam before the water is returned to the
stream.
E. Borrow/waste areas should not be located in wetlands. It is likely that compensatory mitigation
will be required if wetlands are impacted by waste or borrow.
F. Wetland and stream impacts should be avoided to the maximum extent practical. If this is not
possible, alternatives that minimize wetland impacts should be chosen. In accordance with the
NCDWQ Wetlands Rules 115A NCAC 2H.0506(b)(6) ), mitigation will be required for impacts of
greater than 150 linear feet to any single perennial stream. In the event that mitigation becomes
required, the mitigation plan should be designed to replace appropriate lost functions and values. In
accordance with the NCDWQ Wetlands Rules 11 5A NCAC 211.0506 (h)(3) }, the Wetland
Restoration Program may be available for use as stream mitigation.
G. Onsite wetland delineation shall be performed prior to permit approval.
H. DWQ prefers replacement of bridges with bridges.
1. When practical, the DWQ requests that bridges be replaced on the existing location with road
closure. If a detour proves necessary, remediation measures in accordance with the NCDWQ
requirements for General 401 Certification No, 3366/Nationwide Permit No. 33 (Temporary
Construction, Access and Dewatering) must be followed.
Thank you for requesting our input at this time. The DOT is reminded that issuance of a 401 Water
Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water quality
standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost: If you have any questions or require
additional information, please contact Cynthia Van Der Wiele at (919) 733.5715.
