Section 1. PHOTO REFERENCE SITES
(Monitoring at all levels must complete this section)
Attach site map showing the location and angle of all reference photos with a site
designation (name,
number, letter, etc.) assigned to each reference photo location. Photos should be provided for all
structures and cross section locations, should show both banks and include an upstream and
downstream view. Photos taken to document physical stability should be taken in winter. Photos
taken to document vegetation should be taken in summer (at representative locations). Attach
photos and a description of each reference photo or location. We recommend the use of a photo
identification board in each photo to identify location.

Section 3. CHANNEL STABILITY
Visual Inspection: The entire stream project as well as each in-stream structure and bank
stabilization/revetment structure must be evaluated and problems addressed.
Report on the visual inspection of channel stability. Physical measurements of channel
stabili /morphology will not be required. Include a discussion of any deviations from as-built
and an evaluation of the significance of these deviations and whether they are indicative of a
stabilizing or destabilizing situation.
No problems or concerns. Site appears to be doing very well at the time of 151 Quarter monitoring.

Attached for your review and comments are the scoping sheets for the
subject project (See attached map for project location). The purpose of
these sheets and the related review procedure is to have an early "meeting
of the minds" as to the scope of work that should be performed and thereby b 7
enable us to better implement the project. A scoping meeting for this
project is scheduled for Thursday, March 30, 1995 at 10:00 A. M. in the
Planning and Environmental Branch Conference Room (Room 434). You may
provide us with your comments at the meeting or mail them to us prior to
that date. fi,
Thank you for your assistance in this part of our planning process. 1 64 `S
If there are any questions about the meeting or the scoping sheets, please
call Missy Dickens, Project 0P nving Engineer, at 733-7842.

SUBJECT: NC 55, From Proposed Holly Springs Bypass to North of
US 1, Wake County, Federal-Aid Project No. MA-55(4),
State Project No. 8.1403301, TIP Project No. R-2905
The Planning and Environmental Branch of the Division of Highways has
begun studying the proposed improvements to NC 55, from proposed Holly
Springs Bypass to north of US 1 in Wake County. The project is included in
the 1995-2001 North Carolina Transportation Improvement Program and is
scheduled for right of way in fiscal year 1999 and construction in fiscal
year 2000.
At the present time it is anticipated that the proposed improvements
will consist of widening the existing two-lane roadway to a five-lane
undivided facility within the existing 100 feet of right of way. The
proposed project also includes widening and rehabilitation or replacement of
Bridge No. 71 over US 1.
We would appreciate any information you might have that would be helpful
in evaluating potential environmental impacts of the project. If applicable,
please identify any permits or approvals which may be required by your
agency. Your comments will be used in the preparation of a federally funded
Environmental Assessment. This document will be prepared in accordance with
the National Environmental Policy Act. It is desirable that your agency
respond by July 3, 1995 so that your comments can be used in the preparation
of this document.
If you have any questions concerning the project, please contact
Jim Buck, P. E., Project Planning Engineer, of this Branch at [phone].

relocations. If the original stream banks were vegetated,
it is requested that the channelized/relocated stream banks
be revegetated.
C. Number of.stream crossings.

H'. Will borrow locations be in wetlands? Borrow/waste areas
should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practicable.
Prior to approval of any borrow/waste site in a wetland, the
contractor shall obtain a 401 Certification from DEM.
I. Did NCDOT utilize the existing road alignments as much as
possible? Why not (if applicable)?
J. To what extent can traffic congestion management techniques
alleviate the traffic problems in the study area?
K. Please provide a conceptual mitigation plan to help the
environmental review. The mitigation plan may.state the
following:
1. Compensatory mitigation will be considered only after
wetland impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible.
2. On-site, in-kind mitigation is the preferred method of
mitigation. In-kind mitigation within the same
watershed is preferred over out-of-kind mitigation.
3. Mitigation should be in the following order:
restoration, creation, enhancement, and lastly banking.
Please note that a 401 Water Quality Certification cannot be
issued until the conditions of NCAC 15A: 01C.0402 (Limitations on
Actions During NCEPA Process) are met. This regulation prevents
DEM from issuing the 401 Certification until a FONSI or Record of
Decision (ROD) has been issued by the Department requiring the
document. If the 401 Certification application is submitted for
review prior to issuance of the FONSI or ROD, it is recommended
that the applicant state that the 401 will not be issued until
the applicant informs DEM that the FONSI or ROD has been signed
by the Department.
Written concurrence of 401 Water Quality Certification may
be required for this project. Applications requesting coverage
under our General Certification 14 or General Permit 31 will
require written concurrence. -Please be aware that 401
Certification may be denied if. wetland impacts have not been
avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable.

Re: R-2905 US 1 at NC 55 Interchange Stream Mitigation Site, Wake County, State Project
No. 8.1403301, TIP No. R-2905 ACOE ID No. 199920326
Mr. Eric Alsmeyer:
As you are aware, the Department has monitored the US 1 at NC 55 Interchange stream
mitigation site since its construction in Spring of 2004. Located in Wake County adjacent to the
on-ramp to US 1 from NC 55, this site provides 190 linear feet of on-site stream mitigation for
impacts associated with project R-2905. Only visual vegetative and stream bank stability
monitoring were required, hydrologic monitoring was not required for this project. NCDOT
proposed to monitor the R-2905 mitigation site quarterly for one year or until success criteria
were met. After each quarter, monitoring reports were submitted to the appropriate regulatory
agencies.
After one year of quarterly vegetation and stream bank stability monitoring by visual observation,
the R-2905 mitigation site shows that the planted vegetation is surviving and the stream banks
remain stable. Individual quarterly monitoring data is provided in the monitoring reports
submitted between March of 2004 and January of 2005.
NCDOT has completed the monitoring requirements as stated in the permit for R-2905 and
requests that the site is closed and that monitoring can be discontinued. NCDOT requests that the
appropriate resource agencies provide documentation stating that no further monitoring is
required. If you have any questions about this project, please contact Mr. Randy Griffin at (919)
715-1425.

Dear Mr. Harris:
Reference your June 13, 2005 letter, requesting documentation that we require no further
monitoring of the "US 1 at NC 55 Interchange" stream mitigation site, south of Apex, in Wake
County, North Carolina, which was mitigation for TIP Project R-2905. The North Carolina
Department of Transportation has completed visual vegetative and stream bank stability
monitoring for one year, as documented in the mitigation monitoring reports submitted between
March 2004; and January 2005.
Based on the monitoring reports, we concur with your recommendation to discontinue
monitoring at this site, and have determined that you have satisfied the mitigation construction
and monitoring requirements of the permit authorization for TIP R-2905 (Action ID 199503168).
Should you have any questions, please call me at [phone], extension 23.
Sincerely,

Eric C. Alsmeyer
