6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 / ..~~..
Raleigh, NC 27609
Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1432 (Crawford Currin Road) from
SR 1430 to SR 1435 in Granville County. WBS element SC.039033.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade and
pave SR 1432 (Crawford Currin Road) from SR 1430 to SR 1435 in Granville County
(Figures 1-4). Total project length is 2.47 miles. Transportation and highway laws of
North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7, 136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the
NCDOT to develop annual work programs for construction and maintenance of
secondary roads. These general statutes specifically set forth requirements for annual
construction and paving of existing unpaved roads. Paving of these roads is performed in
priority order as established by the NCDOT for each unpaved road within a given county.
This number is based on characteristics of each road, including number of homes,
schools, churches, businesses, industries, recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of
school bus routes, and value as a thoroughfare. SR 1432 is scheduled to be paved as part
of the Secondary Roads Construction Program.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Site 1 -Waters of US
Fill in wetlands is anticipated at this site (Figure 3). Upgrading this roadway and the
associated right-of--way clearing will result in 197ft`' (0.005 ac) of fill in a drainage way
wetland (Photographs 1 and 2). (See Appendix One for USACE Wetland Delineation
forms/DWQ rating sheets). Please note that no stream exists at this site. Therefore, no surface
water impacts are proposed.
Site 2 -Waters of US
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Little Grassy
Creek [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 23-2-4, Best Usage Classification C; HUC 03010102]
Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704

(Figure 4) in the Roanoke River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a
36-inch concrete pipe that is 25 feet long with headwalls (see Photographs 3 and 4). The
_ pipe will be replaced with a pipe is 60 feet long. Please note that only 35 ft of extra pipe
~•ill be used, hox~ei~er due to the angle of the new pipe 2 ft extra of stream impacts N•ill
resa~lt. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the longer pipe include a total of 37
linear feet of existing channel impacted plus 20 feet of rip rap armoring surrounding the
ends of the new pipe. The work zone will be temporarily dewatered for approximately 2
days. This will involve the temporary placement of impervious dikes in the creek
upstream and downstream of construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the
replacement pipe will be installed. To maintain water flow during construction, water
upstream of construction will be temporarily pumped out and conveyed around
downstream of the construction. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this
activity will result in dewatering 57 linear feet of stream. The materials used for
dewatering will be removed after construction.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The project is located in the Roanoke River Basin. Therefore, construction will be
completed without impacts to protected riparian buffers.
Waters of the U.S./Riparian Buffer Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands and surface waters not affected by the project will be protected
from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or storage of
construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional
sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices
for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the
Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
Compensatory Miti ag tion: All compensatory mitigation requirements will be left to the
discretion of the regulatory review agencies.
Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
Endangered and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act. As of March 2007, the dwarf wedgemussel
(Alasmidonta heterodon), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), smooth coneflower
(Echinacea laevigata), and harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum) are listed as federally
protected species in Granville County. The UTs to the Little Grassy Creek are small,
within the headwaters of their drainage system and do not provide suitable habitat for
mussel fauna, nor do they provide suitable habitat for harperella. Crawford Currin Road
is not adjacent to nor is it surrounded by open water suitable of supporting foraging
habitat for the bald eagle. The roadway shoulders along Crawford Currin Road are

3
regularly maintained from the gravel to the woods line, eliminating the possibility for
smooth coneflower to exist in this area. Additionally, a review of the Natural Heritage
Program database (last updated Fall 2006) revealed no occurrences of protected species
- within the project area. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the
03/05/07 site visit and the NHP database review, biological conclusions of No Effect
have been rendered for each of these species.
Historical Compliance
This project has been screened by all pertinent parties to ensure historic compliance.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 1432 (Crawford Currin Road) in Granville
County. Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, NWP 33, and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality
Certification (WQC) No. 3404 and WQC No. 3366 for above-described activities. An
automated payment procedure has been implemented between the NCDOT and
NCDWQ. This procedure will enable the Division to apply for the 401 WQC without
submitting a check for this permit application. This procedure will provide payment to
the NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee of $200.00 directly to the appropriate
NCDOT WBS element SC.039033. Apre-construction notification is attached with this
request. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms.
Heather Montague at [phone].
Sincerely,
.W. Bowman, P.E.

and surface waters will be enforced during construction Only the smallest amount of fill
necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States or riparian
buffers.
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
Page 5 of 8

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, instigation 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.
