Dear Madame:
Subject: Notification for Nationwide Permit #14 (Minor Road Crossing)
NCDENR 401 WQC 3704
Culvert Replacement SR-1860 (Gordon Williams Rd.)-Cumberland County
State Project Number: 6C.026065
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has scheduled to grade, drain, base
and pave SR-1860, (Gordon Williams Rd.) in Cumberland County. Total project length is 1.0
mile. The roadway will be paved to a width of 20 feet within a minimal 45 foot Right-of-Way.
The Right-of-Way coincides with the control access for I-95. This project will require the
replacement of one (1) wet cross line as shown below:
Crossing Roadway Location Existing Culvert Proposed Culvert
Permit site 91 ' A2Oa ?" F-
Sf4 zl +vS 40.5 LF 66" RCP 50 LF 72" CMP w/
Head and Wingwalls
New Stream Impacts = 9.5 linear feet
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Cape Fear
River Basin; 03-06-18. Permit site #1 conveys water to UT of the Cape Fear River (Class WS-
V). This project is located within the 03030006 Hydrologic units.
Permit site #1 conveys a UT to the Cape Fear River; from there it flows under I-95 within a 72
inch RCP. The UT is a perennial channel. The existing 40.5 LF 66"RCP has signs of joint
separation, ie. Sink hole development. Although the culvert is described as 40.5 linear foot that
total length includes two short quarter pipe sections at the invert. The NCDOT Hydraulic
Section sized the replacement culvert; 50LF 72" CMP with Head and Wing walls.
Since this roadway serves a mixture of residential and agricultural uses, the stabilization of SR
1860 will improve the safety of the traveling public.

RESOURCE STATUS
In general, there will be minor impacts proposed as a result of replacing the culverts along SR-
1860 (Gordon Willams Rd.), in Cumberland County. A Nationwide Permit #14/NCDENR 401
WQC 3704 is required for the project.
Endangered Species: Plants and animals with Federal classification of Endangered (E) or
Threatened (T) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of January 31, 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
lists six federally protected species for Cumberland County.
Federally Protected Species for Cumberland County
SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS
Alligator mississippiensis American alligator T(S/A)
Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker E
Rhus michouxii Michaux's sumac E
Schwalbea ameriona American chaffseed E
Lysimachio osperuloefolio Rough-leaved loosestrife g
Linderia melissifolia Pondberry E
"E" denotes Endangered (a species that is in danger of extinction throughout
all or a significant portion of its range).
T(S/A)- Threatened due to similarity of appearance, a species that is threatened
Due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its
Protection. These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and
Are not subject to Section 7 consultation.
A biological conclusion of "No Effect" was reached for all species during the November 3, 2009
survey for protected species. Protected species were not identified, nor, was the general habitat
for each species identified within the 45-foot right-of-way.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit #14/ NCDENR
401 WQC 3704 as required by the above-described activities.
The National Register was reviewed in addition to conducting a field view of the project for
significant historic features.
The project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality
uses. Pipe size proposed is the minimum necessary to create a safe highway while
accommodating the 25-year design storm. There is no record within the NCDOT District 2
Office (Cumberland County) that the road experiences floods overtopping. By utilizing the
erosion control measures, downstream water quality standards will be protected. All appropriate
BMP's will be utilized during construction.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets, marked county road map, quad
location map and photographs.
If you should have any questions, or need additional information please contact James J. Rerko,
PWS at [phone].

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Existing dirt road with maintenance limits 45 feet in width. Upstream is wooded and downstream is 1-95, there is a rural
homesite located at the end of the road. Also, this Access Rd is used primarily for tractor trailers in agricultural
operations.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
approximately 0 acre
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
approximately 50 feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
By Statue, NCDOT is required to pave all unpaved secondary roads. To ensure that the roadway meets current safety
standards, the road will be paved to a width of 20 feet, 2 foot grass shoulders will be installed on each side and 3:1 side
slope will be provided within the 45 foot right of way. This road is used extensively by tractor trailers for agriculture.
Currently CB radios are being used so that two trucks do not'get stuck on the road at the same time. NCDOT proposes
in stabilize SR 1860 so that two trucks can pass at the same time.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Bring SR 1860 up to current safety standards, ie. 20 foot paving with 2 foot stabilized shoulders and 3:1 side slopes within
a 45 foot right of way. The exciting culvert has joint failure and needs to be replaced. Impacts will be minimized as much
as possible. The culvert will be replaced utilizing a track-hoe excavator. While front end loaders will place fill material.
Eventually a motor grader will finish grade the project prior to paving.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
SR 1860 has been an access road to 1-95 since the 1960's. NCDOT proposes to bring this secondary dirt road up to
statue. 2 foot grass shoulders have been designed to avoid fill impacts to resurrounding wetlands.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
SR 1860 does not currently meet the current safety standards, ie. 20 foot paved roadway with 2 foot stabilized grass
shoulders. NCDOT proposes to improve SR 1860 to the minimum standard. Guard rail will be installed in order to keep
stream impacts in the area to a minimum but also to ensure that two tractor trailers can navigate this road safely.
