Re: Brier Creek Parkway

DWQ # 99039
On January 21, 1999 the Division of Water Quality sent a letter stating your
project was on hold since a payment was not received with the application. To date, we
have not received the payment regarding this project.
If we do not hear anything from you within three weeks of the date of this letter,
we will be forced to withdraw the project.
If you have any questions, please contact Cyndi Bell at 919-733-9502.

Dear Mr. Gilmore:
Subject: Brier Creek Parkway
DWQ # 990039
Wake County
On January 13, 1999, your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification for
Brier Creek Parkway in Wake County was received by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. The Division will begin to review the project for eventual decision. However,
please be aware that beginning January 1, 1999 that the N.C. General Assembly passed
legislation requiring payment of a fee of $200.00 for this project. The 401 Certification
cannot be issued until this fee is paid. Presently the Department of Transportation and
Environment and Natural Resources are developing a process so these fees will not have
to be paid separately for each project. We anticipate that this agreement will be finalized
early. in 1999. However until this agreement is completed we will not be able to complete
our action on your request. Until that time, your application will remain on hold as
incomplete.
Please call Cyndi Bell at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions.

ATTN: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer NCDOT Coordinator Dear Sir:

SUBJECT: NATIONWIDE PERMIT 14 APPLICATION FOR THE BRIER CREEK
PARKWAY IN WAKE COUNTY. TIP R-3619.
The subject project proposes to construct a two mile, multi-lane urban
thoroughfare between the intersection of US 70 and ACC Boulevard and the relocated
Aviation Parkway. The project has been documented as a state funded Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (SEA/FONSI). On December 3, 1997,
a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, action ID 199700179 and 199820153, was issued for the
subject project and on March 26, 1998, a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC #
970964) was issued.
The original permits authorized 0.54 acre of fill in wetlands and 1177 linear feet
of fill in surface waters. Of the 1177 linear feet of stream impacts, only 202 feet were
found tobeperennial and required mitigation by the DWQ. Payment was sent to the
Wetland Restoration Program to compensate for these impacts. Since that time,
additional adjustments have been made in the alignment that have reduced the wetland
impacts to 0.194 acre and the stream impacts to 495 linear feet. The mitigable stream
impacts are still 202 feet, so no change to the wetland mitigation is anticipated. Attached
are maps that show the new alignment as well as a summary table itemizing the impacts
by site.

2
It is requested that these activities will be permitted under a Section 404 NWP 14.
By copy of this letter, we are also requesting a 401 General Water Quality Certification
from the NC Division of Water Quality. If you have any questions or need any additional
information, please contact Mr. Michael Wood at [phone].

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: NATIONWIDE PERMIT 14 APPLICATION FOR THE BRIER CREEK
PARKWAY IN WAKE COUNTY. TIP R-3619.
The subject project proposes to construct a two mile, multi-lane urban
thoroughfare between the intersection of US 70 and ACC Boulevard and the relocated
Aviation Parkway. The project has been documented as a state funded Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (SEA/FONSI). On December 3, 1997,
a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, action ID 199700179 and 199820153, was issued for the
subject project and on March 26, 1998, a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC #
970964) was issued.
The original permits authorized 0.54 acre of fill in wetlands and 1177 linear feet
of fill in surface waters. Of the 1177 linear feet of stream impacts, only 202 feet were
found to be perennial and required mitigation by the DWQ. Payment was sent to the
Wetland Restoration Program to compensate for these impacts. Since that time,
additional adjustments have been made in the alignment that have reduced the wetland
impacts to 0.194 acre and the stream impacts to 495 linear feet. The mitigable stream
impacts are still 202 feet, so no change to the wetland mitigation is anticipated. Attached
are maps that show the new alignment as well as a summary table itemizing the impacts
by site.
2
It is requested that these activities will be permitted under a Section 404 NWP 14.
By copy of this letter, we are also requesting a 401 General Water Quality Certification
from the NC Division of Water Quality. If you have any questions or need any additional
information, please contact Mr. Michael Wood at [phone].

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: NATIONWIDE PERMIT 14 APPLICATION FOR THE BRIER CREEK
PARKWAY IN WAKE COUNTY. TIP R-3619.
The subject project proposes to construct a two mile, multi-lane urban
thoroughfare between the intersection of US 70 and ACC Boulevard and the relocated
Aviation Parkway. The project has been documented as a state funded Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (SEA/FONSI). On December 3, 1997,
a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, action ID 199700179 and 199820153, was issued for the
subject project and on March 26, 1998, a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC #
970964) was issued.
The original permits authorized 0.54 acre of fill in wetlands and 1177 linear feet
of fill in surface waters. Of the 1177 linear feet of stream impacts, only 202 feet were
found to be perennial and required mitigation by the DWQ. Payment was sent to the
Wetland Restoration Program to compensate for these impacts. Since that time,
additional adjustments have been made in the alignment that have reduced the wetland
impacts to 0.194 acre and the stream impacts to 495 linear feet. The mitigable stream
impacts are still 202 feet, so no change to the wetland mitigation is anticipated. Attached
are maps that show the new alignment as well as a summary table itemizing the impacts
by site.

It is requested that these activities will be permitted under a Section 404 NWP 14.
By copy of this letter, we are also requesting a 401 General Water Quality Certification
from the NC Division of Water Quality. If you have any questions or need any additional
information, please contact Mr. Michael Wood at [phone].

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: NATIONWIDE PERMIT 14 APPLICATION FOR THE BRIER CREEK
PARKWAY IN WAKE COUNTY. TIP R-3619.
The subject project proposes to construct a two mile, multi-lane urban
thoroughfare between the intersection of US 70 and ACC Boulevard and the relocated
Aviation Parkway. The project has been documented as a state funded Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (SEA/FONSI). On December 3, 1997,
a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, action ID 199700179 and 199820153, was issued for the
subject project and on March 26, 1998, a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC #
970964) was issued.
The original permits authorized 0.54 acre of fill in wetlands and 1177 linear feet
of fill in surface waters. Of the 1177 linear feet of stream impacts, only 202 feet were
found to be perennial and required mitigation by the DWQ. Payment was sent to the
Wetland Restoration Program to compensate for these impacts. Since that time,
additional adjustments have been made in the alignment that have reduced the wetland
impacts to 0.194 acre and the stream impacts to 495 linear feet. The mitigable stream
impacts are still 202 feet, so no change to the wetland mitigation is anticipated. Attached
are maps that show the new alignment as well as a summary table itemizing the impacts
by site.

It is requested that these activities will be permitted under a Section 404 NWP 14.
By copy of this letter, we are also requesting a 401 General Water Quality Certification
from the NC Division of Water Quality. If you have any questions or need any additional
information, please contact Mr. Michael Wood at [phone].
