NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500. This certificate authorizes the fill of 0.05 acres of wetlands
and the construction of a temporary diversion channel in Guilford County pursuant to revised application
filed on the 11" day of August 1999 to construct the Greensboro Bypass (TIP I-2402, DWQ No. 980349).
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the proposed wetlands
in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will
not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if
conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described in
the Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to notify the DWQ and submit 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 the 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). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s) of Certification:
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of two manuals. Either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from the
Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices). The control practices
shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50
NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs in all lakes
and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and
the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is
a direct impact from road construction activities.
5. All other conditions written into previous Water Quality Certifications for this project still apply.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions
are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA permit.

If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within sixty (60) days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written
petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. If modifications are made to an
original Certification, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written
request within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Certification. Unless such demands are made, this
Certification shall be final and binding.
This the 21" day of September 1999

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer RECEIVED
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Guilford County, I-85 Greensboro Bypass, from I-85/ I-85 Bypass
interchange east of SR 3000 (McConnell Road) to 1-8511-85 Bypass
interchange south of SR 1117 (Holden Road); State Project
No. 8.U492301; Federal Aid No. NHF-85-3(151); TIP No. I-2402;
USACE Action ID 199502886; DEM 998-0349.
Dear Sir:
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has authorized the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to place fill in waters of the United States to
construct the subject road project. This Section 404 Individual Permit authorizes the
placement of fill material impacting 20.80 acres of waters of the United States, including
14.73 acres of wetlands and 20,801 linear feet of stream for construction of Sections A, B
and C of the I-85 Greensboro Bypass, crossing Jenny Branch, Hickory Creek, Ryan
Creek, Little Alamance Creek, unnamed tributaries and adjacent wetlands.
The NCDOT sent a letter dated June 18, 1999 to the USACE. This letter involved
forwarding final permit drawings for Section AA, as well as a request to modify the
Section 404 Individual Permit for an additional 0.05 acre of impact to wetlands.
The purpose of this letter is also to request modification of the Section 404 permit
regarding a temporary impact to Little Alamance Creek (Station No. 192-+•40-L-), Site 15
in Section C, and the relocation of a utility line (Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-). Plan
view and cross section drawings have been attached to this letter.
This temporary impact at Station No. 192+40-L- is necessary because the
NCDOT needs to construct bridge piles in Little Alamance Creek. In the original permit
application, the NCDOT had proposed to relocate this entire stream section of Little
Alamance Creek which did not require these temporary impacts to Little Alamance
Creek. As a minimization method, the NCDOT determined that only the upper portion of
Little Alamance Creek at this crossing needed to be relocated. To construct the bridge
piles, the NCDOT must provide a temporary channel for Little Alamance Creek that is 45
meters (147 feet) in length and place temporary fill in Little Alamance Creek. This
temporary fill totals 0.01 hectare (0.03 acre).
The construction of the utility line, from Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-, will
occur at two locations. The utility line will be placed under the stream at these two
locations and construction will occur in the "dry." A temporary diversion channel will be
used to construct the utility line.
The NCDOT requests that the USACE modify the existing Section 404 Individual
Permit for TIP No.. I-)402 (USACE Action ID 199502886). This modification includes
the additio>Zal impact of 0.05 acre of wetlands that was requested in a letter dated June 18,
1999, the temV4 {tnpacts at Little Alamance Creek (Station No. 192+40-L-), and the
placement of a utility line (Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-). Modification of the 401
Water Quality Certification is also requested for these impacts.
Thank you for your attention to this project. If you have any further questions or
concerns regarding the I-85 Greensboro Bypass, please contact Mr. Phillip Todd at (919)
733-7844, Extension 314.

Subject: Guilford County, I-85 Greensboro Bypass, from I-85/ I-85 Bypass
interchange east of SR 3000 (McConnell Road) to I-85/ I-85 Bypass
interchange south of SR 1117 (Holden Road); State Project
No. 8.U492301; Federal Aid No. NHF-85-3(151); TIP No. I-2402;
USACE Action ID 199502886; DEM 998-0349.
Dear Sir:
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has authorized the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to place fill in waters of the United States to
construct the subject road project. This Section 404 Individual Permit authorizes the
placement of fill material impacting 20.80 acres of waters of the United States, including
14.73 acres of wetlands and 20,801 linear feet of stream for construction of Sections A, B
and C of the I-85 Greensboro Bypass, crossing Jenny Branch, Hickory Creek, Ryan
Creek, Little Alamance Creek, unnamed tributaries and adjacent wetlands.
The NCDOT sent a letter dated June 18, 1999 to the USACE. This letter involved
forwarding final permit drawings for Section AA, as well as a request to modify the
Section 404 Individual Permit for an additional 0.05 acre of impact to wetlands.
The purpose of this letter is also to request modification of the Section 404 permit
regarding a temporary impact to Little Alamance Creek (Station No. 192+40-L-), Site 15
in Section C, and the relocation of a utility line (Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-). Plan
view and cross section drawings have been attached to this letter.
1 1:,
This temporary impact at Station No. 192+40-L- is necessary because the
NCDOT needs to construct bridge piles in Little Alamance Creek. In the original permit
application, the NCDOT had proposed to relocate this entire stream section of Little
Alamance Creek which did not require these temporary impacts to Little Alamance
Creek. As a minimizatiori method, the NCDOT determined that only the upper portion of
Little Alamance Creek at this crossing needed to be relocated. To construct the bridge
piles, the NCDOT must provide a temporary channel for Little Alamance Creek that is 45
meters (147 feet) in length and place temporary fill in Little Alamance Creek. This
temporary fill totals 0.01 hectare (0.03 acre).
The construction of the utility line, from Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-, will
occur at two locations. The utility line will be placed under the stream at these two
locations and construction will occur in the "dry." A temporary diversion channel will be
used to construct the utility line.
The NCDOT requests that the USACE modify the existing Section 404 Individual
Permit for TIP No. I-2402 (USACE Action ID 199502886). This modification includes
the additional impact of 0.05 acre of wetlands that was requested in a letter dated June 18,
1999, the temporary impacts at Little Alamance Creek (Station No. 192+40-L-), and the
placement of a utility line (Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-). Modification of the 401
Water Quality Certification is also requested for these impacts.
Thank you for your attention to this project. If you have any further questions or
concerns regarding the I-85 Greensboro Bypass, please contact Mr. Phillip Todd at (919)

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Guilford County, I-85 Greensboro Bypass, from I-85/ I-85 Bypass
interchange east of SR 3000 (McConnell Road) to 1-85/1-85 Bypass
interchange south of SR 1117 (Holden Road); State Project
No. 8.U492301; Federal Aid No. NHF-85-3(151); TIP No. I-2402;
USACE Action ID 199502886; DEM #98-0349.
Dear Sir:
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has authorized the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to place fill in waters of the United States to
construct the subject road project. This Section 404 Individual Permit authorizes the
placement of fill material impacting 20.80 acres of waters of the United States, including
14.73 acres of wetlands and 20,801 linear feet of stream for construction of Sections A, B
and C of the I-85 Greensboro Bypass, crossing Jenny Branch, Hickory Creek, Ryan
Creek, Little Alamance Creek, unnamed tributaries and adjacent wetlands.
The NCDOT sent a letter dated June 18, 1999 to the USACE. This letter involved
forwarding final permit drawings for Section AA, as well as a request to modify the
Section 404 Individual Permit for an additional 0.05 acre of impact to wetlands.
The purpose of this letter is also to request modification of the Section 404 permit
regarding a temporary impact to Little Alamance Creek (Station No. 192+40-L-), Site 15
in Section C, and the relocation of a utility line (Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-). Plan
view and cross section drawings have been attached to this letter.
414
This temporary impact at Station No. 192+40-L- is necessary because the
NCDOT needs to construct bridge piles in Little Alamance Creek. In the original permit
application, the NCDOT had proposed to relocate this entire stream section of Little
Alamance Creek which did not require these temporary impacts to Little Alamance
Creek. As a minimizatiori method, the NCDOT determined that only the upper portion of
Little Alamance Creek at this crossing needed to be relocated. To construct the bridge
piles, the NCDOT must provide a temporary channel for Little Alamance Creek that is 45
meters (147 feet) in length and place temporary fill in Little Alamance Creek. This
temporary fill totals 0.01 hectare (0.03 acre).
The construction of the utility line, from Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-, will
occur at two locations. The utility line will be placed under the stream at these two
locations and construction will occur in the "dry." A temporary diversion channel will be
used to construct the utility line.
The NCDOT requests that the USACE modify the existing Section 404 Individual
Permit for TIP No. I-2402 (USACE Action ID 199502886). This modification includes
the additional impact of 0.05 acre of wetlands that was requested in a letter dated June 18,
1999, the temporary impacts at Little Alamance Creek (Station No. 192+40-L-), and the
placement of a utility line (Station No. 16+40 to 17+80-Y2-). Modification of the 401
Water Quality Certification is also requested for these impacts.
Thank you for your attention to this project. If you have any further questions or
concerns regarding the I-85 Greensboro Bypass, please contact Mr. Phillip Todd at (919)
733-7844, Extension 314.
