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 211, Section .0500. This certification authorizes the NCDOT to place fill material
in 755 linear feet of streams in Wake County. The project shall be constructed pursuant to the application
filed on the 3'" day of January 2000 to construct the Harrison Avenue widening.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters of an
unnamed tributary of Black Creek 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
211.0506 (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

Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of 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) 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 shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands
and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored after the Division
of Land Resources has released the project;
3. If an environmental document is required, this Certification is not valid until a FONSI
or ROD is issued by the State Clearinghouse;
4. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
5. 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.
6. We understand that on-site mitigation will be performed for 295 linear feet of stream through
relocation . Additionally, we understand that you have chosen to perform the remaining 460
linear feet of stream mitigation through an in lieu payment to the North Carolina Wetland

NCDOT Coordinator
Dear Sir:
Subject: Wake County, SR 1652 (Harrison Ave) from South o Cx54-(Maynard Road)
to ,South of Weston Parkway, State Project No. 82403701, T.I.P. No. U-2804 B
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to widen SR 1652 (Harrison Ave)
from south of NC 54 (Maynard Road) to south of Weston Parkway. The 1.87-mile project
proposes to symmetrically widen SR 1652 to a five-lane curb and gutter facility with a
continuous left turn lane.
Utility Line Relocation: The project will also include the relocation of a sewer main at Station
22+55. The area to be impacted is depicted on Sheet 4b of 16. The area of the stream to be
impacted by the sewer line relocation is the same area to be impacted by the construction of the
road at Site 5. The relocation of the sewer main will be completed before the site is filled from
the construction of the road. The work will result in 0.0005 acres of temporary fill in an
intermittent surface water (Site 5). The trench under the creek will be approximately 2.66 feet
wide and 9.54 feet long. The line will be installed approximately 3.28 feet under the existing
streambed.
Cofferdam: The relocation of the utility line will also require the construction of a cofferdam. It
will be constructed by using median barrier protected with sandbags or Class I and II riprap plus
sandbags. Following completion of the utility line relocation all material used in the construction
of the cofferdam will be removed and disposed of in an upland location or reused by the
contractor. The temporary fill area will subsequently be restored to its approximate original
contour and rough surface texture. There will be no restoration plan for the cofferdam area since
the site will be impacted by the construction of the road.
X
Summary of project impacts: 0.017 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted by the
proposed project of which 0.01 acres will be fill in wetlands and 0.007 acres impacted from
mechanized clearing. Approximately 1,099 linear feet of jurisdictional streams will be affected
which include approximately 755 feet of perennial stream requiring mitigation and 344 feet of
intermittent stream not requiring mitigation.
Summary of Mitigation: Approximately 295 feet of the unnamed tributaries to Black Creek
stream channel will be relocated. These stream relocations were designed using natural channel
design principles. Riprap was eliminated from channels except in areas where erosion of stream
banks would endanger the roadway fill of the highway. We propose to mitigate for the
remaining 460 feet of stream at a 2:1 ratio by contributing $57,500.00 to the North Carolina
Wetland Restoration Program (WRP).
NEPA DOCUMENT STATUS
A.Federal Environmental Assessment fcW-Ihe upgrading of SR 1652 was approved by the
Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) on, i ,October 31, 1995. The document describes the
need for transportation improvements to 'SR652 d describes its function as a major
thoroughfare in the Wake County Thoroughfare Plan. In addition, existing and projected,
conditions in the study area were described including natural systems and wetlands. Alignments
were evaluated with respect to costs, social and economic impacts, and environmental
consequences. The FONSI was approved on April 30, 1996. Copies of the EA and the FONSI
have been provided to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval process. Additional
copies will be provided upon request.
JURISDICTIONAL STATUS
Cultural Resources: In a letter dated July 11, 1994 we received concurrence from the SHPO
concerning the project impacts. There are no structures associated with U-2804B that are
eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. A copy of the letter is in the EA. An
archaeological survey of the project area was not recommended in the EA The SHPO, in a letter
dated December 20, 1995, concurred that the EA adequately addressed archaeological resources.
RESOURCE STATUS
Wetland delineations: wetland delineations were conducted on July 7, 1997 using the
criteria specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. One 0.01-acre
wetland site (Site 6, Sheet 15 of 16) was identified and delineated by Mr. Chris Murray, NCDOT
biologist. The USACE was contacted to determine if verification was necessary. Mr. Eric
Alsmeyer of the DOA Raleigh Regulatory Field Office determined that no site verification was
needed. A copy of the delineation was sent to the USACE on October 20, 1997.
Stream Delineations: An in-field delineation of the streams including an analysis of the
need for mitigation for each jurisdictional section was completed on June 19, 1999 by NCDOT
biologists Dale Suiter and Alice Gordon. A more detailed field analysis of Site 5 was completed
in September 1999 and the site revisited on October 11, 1999. In September 1999, it was
.11
determined that the most of the site was an intermittent stream and thus, while jurisdictional,
would not require mitigation.
There are a total of seven jurisdictional sites on U-2804 B. These are labeled Sites 1 through 7 in
the attached permit drawings (Sheets 1 to 16). Sheet 4 of 16 provides site specific quantity
breakdowns for the impacts. Tables 1 lists each site, impacts, and proposed mitigation. All
crossings are of unnamed tributaries to Black Creek (DEM Index 27-33-5). The construction of
Section A will result in 0.017 acres of permanent impacts in jurisdictional wetlands consisting of
0.01 acres fill in wetlands and 0.007 acres impacted from mechanized clearing using NCDOT
Clearing Method II.
Site 1 is located between Station 15+16 to 15+32-LREV and consists of a headwater
stream channel. At this site the project will impact 66 feet of stream channel in an
unnamed tributary to Black Creek. Impacts at this site result form the extension of a 900
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and associated embankment fill.
Site 2 is located between Station 16+40 to 16+70-LRev. At this site the project will
impact 131 feet of stream channel in an unnamed tributary to Black Creek. It is a short
reach of a headwater stream that is deeply incised and characterized by a rocky substrate.
Site 3 is located between Stations 17+65 and 18+10-LRev and consists of 164 feet of
stream channel as depicted Sheets 6, 8 and 9 of 16. We are providing on-site stream
mitigation by relocation of 164 feet of stream channel designed using natural channel
design principles as depicted on Sheets 6 and 8 of 16.
Site 4a is located at Station 18+20 to 18+42-LRev and consists of 66 feet headwater
stream that is an unnamed tributary of Black Creek. The impacts result from the
extension of a 1200-mm corrugated metal pipe (CMP).
Site 4b is located at Station 19+10 to 19+75-LRev and consists of 197 feet of headwater
stream that is an unnamed tributary of Black Creek. The impacts result from the
extension of a double barrel 2.1-m x 2.7 m RCBC. We are providing on-site stream
mitigation by relocation of 131 feet of stream channel designed using natural channel
design principles as depicted on Sheets 5 and 11 through 13 of 16. We have minimized
impacts by removing riprap from most of the channel except where it is needed to
prevent erosion of the banks at the culvert outlet. The banks of the channel will be
planted with native woody vegetation for shading and bank stability. The culvert is
designed as a low flow culvert so that the stream width is not severely affected (Sheet 13
of 16).
Site 5 is located at Station 21+35 to 22+80-LREV. It consists of a total of 426 feet of
jurisdictional stream channel, which is composed of 82 feet of perennial channel, and
approximately 344 feet of intermittent stream channel that will be lost as depicted on
Sheets 14 and 14a of 16.
11
The intermittent channel is characterized by a narrow, highly eroded, deeply incised
channel up to ten feet in width and four feet in depth with a substrate composed of small
rocks and bedrock. In early September the streambed was dry. On October 11, 199 the
stream was three feet wide and one inch to one foot in depth. The area immediately
adjacent to the stream is characterized by tag alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix
nigra), and sugar maple (Acer saccharum). The adjacent area is a basic mesic forest and
has a developed canopy dominated by tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple
(Acer rubrum), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), and northern red oak (Quercus alba).
The impacts will result from three activities:
• The extension of the culvert that functions as the overflow from Wyatts Pond,
The relocation of the outflow channel, and
The relocation of a sewer main at Station 22+55 as described above.
On-site mitigation will consist of construction of approximately 344 feet of a riprapped
channel. We are not proposing on-site stream mitigation credit for this section.
Nevertheless, we are incorporating several design features that will minimize the
environmental effects of this channel on the water quality of Black Creek and its
unnamed tributaries. These features include:
• Placement of rock check dams on the channel to decrease the velocity
of flows (see Sheets 14 and 14a of 16), and
• The banks of the channel will be planted with native woody
vegetation for shading and bank stability.
Site 6 is located at Station 22+10-LREV and consists of the extension of a 1050mm RCP
and filling adjacent embankment. The action will result in the loss of 49 feet of stream
channel and fill in 0.01 acres of wetland and 0.007 acres to mechanized clearing. It is a
small headwater wetland depicted one Sheet 15 of 16 with a DWQ rating of 29. It has
Worsham sandy loam soils and is characterized by jewel weed (Impatiens capensis),
green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and American elm (Ulmus Americana).
Site 7 is located at Station 27+86 to 28+ 12-LREV. The 0.037 acres of surface water
impacts consist of the draining and filling of two small ponds (Sheet 16 of 16). These
ponds function as storm water retention ponds. We will replace the two ponds by
creating a 0.059-acre pond and constructing a weir that will also function as a storm
water retention system.
The impacts on the pond at Sta. 27+80 will result from the 23-foot extension of a 450mm
RCP. The impacts on the other pond, located at Sta. 28+5 to +15, result from highway
embankment fill and the construction of a riprapped channel. This channel will carry the
roadway drainage and the stream as illustrated on sheet 16 of 16 into a large pond located
off the site.

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 May 14, 1999, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) lists five species for Wake County: the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the red-
cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). Descriptions and biological conclusions of "No Effect"
were given for the bald eagle, the red-cockaded woodpecker and Michaux's sumac in July 1994.
Following a site inspection in August 1994, a conclusion of "No Effect " was also reached for
the dwarf wedge mussel.
MITIGATION OPTIONS
The Corps of Engineers had adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ), a wetland mitigation policy that embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and
sequencing. The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological, and
d
physical integrity of the Waters of the United States. Mitigation of wetland and surface water
impacts has been defined by the CEQ to include: avoiding impacts, minimizing impacts,
rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20).
Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands) and Department of Transportation Order
5660.1A (Preservation of the Nation's Wetlands), emphasize protection of the functions and
values provided by wetlands. These directives require that new construction in wetlands be
avoided as much as possible and that all practicable measures are taken to minimize or mitigate
impacts to wetlands.
The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features
to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional streams, and to provide full compensatory
mitigation of all remaining impacts. Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and
EANONSI phases; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design.
AVOIDANCE: All jurisdictional streams areas 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.
NIINBUZATION: Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable
steps to reduce the adverse impacts. Minimization techniques were implemented as follows:
1. Best Management Practices: Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control
Best Management Practices (BMP) for the protection of surface waters and wetlands.
2. Riprap was eliminated from channels except in areas where erosion of stream banks
would endanger the roadway fill of the highway.
3. Site 5: The design of the riprapped channel was changed to provide check dams to
abate the flow of the stream in this intermittent channel.
• We will minimize the impacts on the morphology of the stream by
decreasing the velocity such that the geometry of the downstream channel,
which becomes perennial at Station 21+50, will be protected from erosion
by high velocity flows.
• We will also minimize the water quality impacts in Black Creek and its
tributaries since the check dams will allow sediment to fall out in the
channel.
4. Site 4b consists of 197 feet of headwater stream. The impacts result from the
extension of a double barrel 2.1-m x 2.7 m RCBC.
• We are minimizing the impacts of this activity on the water quality by
providing on-site stream mitigation by relocation of 131 feet of stream
channel designed using natural channel design principles as depicted on
Sheets 5 and 11 through 13 of 16.
• We have also minimized impacts by changing the design by removing
riprap from most of the channel except where it is needed to prevent
erosion of the banks at the culvert outlet.
5. Site 3 consists of 164 feet of stream channel as depicted Sheets 6, 8 and 9 of 16. We
are minimizing the impacts of this activity on the water quality by providing on-site
stream mitigation by relocation of 164 feet of stream channel designed using natural
channel design principles.
COMPENSATION: We propose to mitigate for the remaining 460 feet of stream impacts
at a 2:1 ratio by contributing $57,500.00 to the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program
(WRP)•

ATTENTION OF
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
WILMINGTON DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS
P.O. BOX 1890
WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890
January 3, 2000
Regulatory Branch
SUBJECT: Action ID. 199601876
Mr. John Dorney
Division of Water Quality
North Carolina Department of
Environment and
Natural Resources
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1621
Dear Mr. Dorney:
5W
F
OF
.. wouow,?en
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department
of Transportation, Division of Highways, for a Department of the
Army permit and a State Water Quality Certification to discharge
dredged or fill material in waters of the United States, for
construction of Section B of the improvements to SR 1652
(Harrison Avenue) (T.I.P. No. U-2804B), crossing unnamed
tributaries to Black Creek, and adjacent wetlands, from south of
NC 54 (Maynard Parkway) to south of Weston Parkway, in Cary, Wake
County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies
your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative
regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water
quality certification may be required under the provisions of Section
401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be
granted until the certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after
receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request by
March 3, 2000, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has
occurred.

Subject: Wake County, SR 1652 (Harrison Ave) from South of NC 54 (Maynard Road)
to South of Weston Parkway, State Project No. 82403701, T.I.P. No. U-2804 B
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to widen SR' 652 (Harrison Ave)
from south ofNC 54 (Maynard Road) to south of Weston Parkway. The 1:87=mile project
proposes to symmetrically widen SR 1652 to a five-lane curb and gutter facility with a
continuous left turn lane.
Utility Line Relocation: The project will also include the relocation ofa sewer main at Station
22+55. The area to be impacted is depicted on Sheet 4b of 16. The area of the stream to be
impacted by the sewer line relocation is the same area to be impacted by the construction of the
road at Site 5. The relocation of the sewer main will be completed before the site is filled from
the construction of the road. The work will result in 0,0005 acres -of-temporary fill in an
intermittent surface water (Site 5). The trench under the creek will be approximately 2.66 feet
wide and 9.54 feet long. The line will be installed approximately 3.28 feet under the existing
streambed.
Cofferdam: The relocation of the utility line will also require the construction of a cofferdam. It
will be constructed by using median barrier protected with sandbags or Class I and'II riprap plus
sandbags. Following completion of the utility line relocation all material used in the construction
of the cofferdam will be removed and disposed of in an upland location or reused by the
contractor. The temporary fill area will subsequently be restored to its approximate original
contour and rough surface texture. There will be -no restoration plan for the cofferdam area since
the site will be impacted by the construction of the road.

Summary of project impacts: 0.017 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be imp//acted by the
proposed project of which 0.01 acres will be fill in wetlands and 0.007 acres impacted from
mechanized clearing. Approximately 1,099 linear feet of jurisdictional streams will be affected
which include approximately 755 feet of perennial stream requiring mitigation and 344 feet of
intermittent stream not requiring mitigation. -?- , P ?s<< Tab, I = D0
Summary of Mitigation: Approximately 295 feet of the unnamed tributaries to Black Creek
stream channel will be relocated. These stream relocations were designed using natural channel
design principles. Riprap was eliminated from channels except in areas where erosion of stream
banks would endanger the roadway fill of the highway. We propose to mitigate for the
remaining 460 feet of stream at a 2:1 ratio by contributing $57,500.00 to the North Carolina
Wetland Restoration Program (WRP).
NEPA DOCUMENT STATUS
A Federal Environmental Assessment for the upgrading of SR 1652 was approved by the
Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) on October 31, 1995. The document describes the
need for transportation improvements to SR 1652 and describes its function as a major
thoroughfare in the Wake County Thoroughfare Plan. In addition, existing and projected.
conditions in the study area were described including natural systems and wetlands. Alignments
were evaluated with respect to costs, social and economic impacts; and environmental
consequences. The FONSI was approved on April 30, 1996. Copies of the EA and the FONSI
have been provided to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval process. Additional
copies will be provided upon request.
JURISDICTIONAL STATUS
Cultural Resources: In a letter dated July 11, 1994 we received concurrence from the SHPO
concerning the project impacts. There are no structures associated with U-2804B that are
eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. A copy of the letter is in the EA. An
archaeological survey of the project area was not recommended in the EA The SHPO, in a letter
dated December 20, 1995, concurred that the EA adequately addressed archaeological resources.
RESOURCE STATUS
Wetland delineations: wetland delineations were conducted on July 7, 1997 using the
criteria specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. One 0.01-acre
wetland site (Site 6, Sheet 15 of 16) was identified and delineated by Mr. Chris Murray, NCDOT
biologist. The USACE was contacted to determine if verification was necessary. Mr. Eric
Alsmeyer of the DOA Raleigh Regulatory Field Office determined that no site verification was
needed. A copy of the delineation was sent to the USACE on October 20, 1997.
Stream Delineations: An in-field delineation of the streams including an analysis of the
need for mitigation for each jurisdictional section was completed on June 19, 1999 by NCDOT
biologists Dale Suiter and Alice Gordon. A more detailed field analysis of Site 5 was completed
in September 1999 and the site revisited on October 11, 1999. In September 1999, it was

determined that the most of the site was an intermittent stream and thus, while jurisdictional,
would not require mitigation.
There are a total of seven jurisdictional sites on U-2804 B. These are labeled Sites 1 through 7 in
the attached permit drawings (Sheets 1 to 16). Sheet 4 of 16 provides site specific quantity
breakdowns for the impacts. Tables 1 lists each site, impacts, and proposed mitigation. All
crossings are of unnamed tributaries to Black Creek (DEM Index 27-33-5). The construction of
Section A will result in 0.017 acres of permanent impacts in jurisdictional wetlands consisting of
0.01 acres fill in wetlands and 0.007 acres impacted from mechanized clearing using NCDOT
Clearing Method II.
Site 1 is located between Station 15+16 to 15+32-LREV and consists of a headwater
stream channel. At this site the project will impact 66 feet of stream channel in an
unnamed tributary to Black Creek. Impacts at this site result form the extension of a 900
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and associated embankment fill.
Site 2 is located between Station 16+40 to 16+70-LRev. At this site the project will
impact 131 feet of stream channel in an unnamed tributary to Black Creek. It is a short
reach of a headwater stream that is deeply incised and characterized by a rocky substrate.
Site 3 is located between Stations 17+65 and 18+10-LRev and consists of 164 feet of
stream channel as depicted Sheets 6, 8 and 9 of 16. We are providing on-site stream
mitigation by relocation of 164 feet of stream channel designed using natural channel
design principles as depicted on Sheets 6 and 8 of 16.
Site 4a is located at Station 18+20 to 18+42-LRev and consists of 66 feet headwater
stream that is an unnamed tributary of Black Creek. The impacts result from the
extension of a 1200-mm corrugated metal pipe (CMP).
Site 4b is located at Station 19+10 to 19+75-LRev and consists of 197 feet of headwater
stream that is an unnamed tributary of Black Creek. The impacts result from the
extension of a double barrel 2.1-m x 2.7 m RCBC. We are providing on-site stream
mitigation by relocation of 131 feet of stream channel designed using natural channel
design principles as depicted on Sheets 5 and 11 through 13 of 16. We have minimized
impacts by removing riprap from most of the channel except where it is needed to
prevent erosion of the banks at the culvert outlet. The banks of the channel will be
planted with native woody vegetation for shading and bank stability. The culvert is
designed as a low flow culvert so that the stream width is not severely affected (Sheet 13
of 16).
Site 5 is located at Station 21+35 to 22+80-LREV. It consists of a total of 426 feet of
jurisdictional stream channel, which is composed of 82 feet of perennial channel, and
approximately 344 feet of intermittent stream channel that will be lost as depicted on
Sheets 14 and 14a of 16.

The intermittent channel is characterized by a narrow, highly eroded, deeply incised
channel up to ten feet in width and four feet in depth with a"substrate composed of small
rocks and bedrock. In early September the streambed was dry. On October 11, 199 the
stream was three feet wide and one inch to one foot in depth. The area immediately
adjacent to the stream is characterized by tag alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix
nigra), and sugar maple (Acer saccharum). The adjacent area is a basic mesic forest and
has a developed canopy dominated by tulip poplar (Driodendron tulipifera), red maple
(Acer rubrum), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), and northern red oak (Quercus alba).
The. impacts will result from three activities:
• The extension of the culvert that functions as the overflow from Wyatts Pond,
• The relocation of the outflow channel, and
• The relocation of a sewer main at Station 22+55 as described above.
On site mitigation will consist of construction of approximately 344 feet of a riprapped
channel. We are not proposing on-site stream mitigation credit fo'r' this section.
Nevertheless, we are incorporating several design features that will minimize the
environmental effects of this channel on the water quality of Black Creek and its
unnamed tributaries. These features include:
• Placement of rock check dams on the channel to decrease the velocity
of flows (see Sheets 14 and 14a of 16), and
• The banks of the channel will be planted with native woody
vegetation for shading and bank stability::
Site 6'is located at Station 22+10-LREV and consists of the extension of a 1050mm RCP
and filling adjacent embankment. The action will result in the kiss of 49 feet of stream
channel and fill in 0.01 acres of wetland and 0.007 acres to mechanized clearing. It is a
small headwater wetland depicted one Sheet 15 of 16 with a DWQ rating of 29. It has
Worsham sandy loam soils and is characterized by jewel weed (Impatiens capensis),
green ash (Frodnus pennsylvanica) and American elm (Ulmus Americana).
...Site 7 is located at Station 27+86 to 28+ 12-LREV. The 0.037 acres of surface water
impacts consist of the draining and filling of two small ponds (Sheet 16 of 16). These
ponds function as storm water retention ponds. We will replace the two ponds by
creating a 0.059-acre pond and constructing a weir that will also function as a storm
water retention system.
The impacts on the pond at Sta. 27+80 will result from the 23-foot extension of a 450mm
RCP. The impacts on the other pond, located at Sta. 28+5 to +15, result from highway
embankment fill and the construction of a riprapped channel. This channel will carry the
roadway drainage and the stream as illustrated on sheet 16 of 16 into a large pond located
off the site.

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 May 14, 1999, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) lists five species for Wake County: the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucomphalus), the red-
cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), the dwarf wedge mussel (Akumidonta heterodon) and
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). Descriptions and biological conclusions of "No Effect
were given for the-bald eagle, the red-cockaded woodpecker and-Michaux's sumac in July. 1994:
Following a site inspection in August 1994, a n Jusion-of ."No:EffecO" was also reached for
the dwarf wedge mussel.-
MITIGATION OPTIONS
The Corps of Engineers had adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ), a wetland mitigation policy that embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and
sequencing. The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological, and
physical integrity of the Waters of the United States. Mitigation of wetland and surface water
impacts has been defined by the CEQ to include: avoiding impacts, minimizing impacts,
rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20).
Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands) and Department of Transportation Order
5660. IA (Preservation of the Nation's Wetlands), emphasize protection of the functions and
values provided by wetlands. These directives require that new construction in wetlands be
avoided as much as possible and that all practicable measures are taken to minimize or mitigate
impacts to wetlands.
The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features
to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional streams, and to provide full compensatory
mitigation of all remaining impacts. Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and
EA/FONSI phases; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design.
AVOIDANCE: All jurisdictional streams areas 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: Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable
steps to reduce the adverse impacts. Minimization techniques were implemented as follows:
1. Best Management Practices: Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control
Best Management Practices (BMP) for the protection of surface waters and wetlands.
2. Riprap was eliminated from channels except in areas where erosion of stream banks
would endanger the roadway fill of the highway.
3. Site 5: The design of the riprapped channel was changed to provide check dams to
abate the flow of the stream in this intermittent channel.
• We will minimize the impacts on the morphology of the stream by',
'decreasing the velocity such that the geometry of the downstream channel,
which becomes perennial at Station 21+50, will be protected from erosion
by high velocity flows.
• We will also minimize the water quality impacts in Black Creek and its
tributaries since the check dams will allow sediment to fall out in the
channel.
4. Site 4b consists of 197 feet of headwater stream. The impacts result from the
extension of a double barrel 2.1-m x 2.7 m RCBC.
• We are minimizing the impacts of this activity on the water quality by
providing on-site stream mitigation by relocation of 131 feet of stream
channel designed using natural channel design principles as depicted on
Sheets 5 and 11 through 13 of 16.
• We have also minimized impacts by changing the design by removing
riprap from most of the channel except where it is needed to prevent
erosion of the banks at the culvert outlet.
Site 3 consists of 164 feet of stream channel as depicted Sheets 6, 8 and 9 of 16. We
are minimizing the impacts of this activity on the water quality by providing on-site
stream mitigation by relocation of 164 feet of stream channel designed using natural
channel design principles.
COMPENSATION: We propose to mitigate for the remaining 460 feet of stream impacts
at a 2:1 ratio by contributing $5,500.00 to the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program
REGULATORY APPROVALS

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Raleigh Regulatory Field Office
6508 Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 120
Raleigh, North Carolina 27615-6814
Action ID. 199601876 _ December 9, 1999
PUBLIC NOTICE
THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF
HIGHWAYS, (NCDOT), POST OFFICE BOX 25201, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27611-
5201, HAS APPLIED FOR A DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY (DA) PERMIT TO
AUTHORIZE THE PROPOSED DISCHARGE OF FILL MATERIAL IMPACTING A TOTAL
OF 0.20 ACRE OF WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES, CONSISTING OF 0.02 ACRE OF
WETLANDS, 1,099 LINEAR FEET OF STREAM, AND 2 SMALL PONDS, FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF SECTION B OF THE IMPROVEMENTS TO SR 1652 (HARRISON
AVENUE) (T.I.P. NO. U-280413), CROSSING UNNAMED TRIBUTARIES TO BLACK
CREEK, AND ADJACENT WETLANDS, FROM SOUTH OF NC 54 (MAYNARD
PARKWAY) TO SOUTH OF WESTON PARKWAY, IN CARY, WAKE COUNTY, NORTH
CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant. Plans
submitted with the application show the placement of fill material impacting a total of 0.20
acres of waters of the United States, including wetlands. These impacts are necessary for the
construction of Section B of the improvements to SR 1652 (Harrison Avenue) (T.I.P. No. U-
2804B), crossing unnamed tributaries to Black Creek, and. adjacent wetlands, from south of NC
54 (Maynard Parkway) to south of Weston Parkway, in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina.
The project will involve fill impacts to 0.18 acre of unvegetated waters of the United States.
These impacts to stream channels (1,099 linear feet) and 2 small ponds occur at 8 locations
throughout the project. At stream crossings, culverts or pipes will be used to allow for adequate
hydrological flow underneath the roadway. The proposed construction will also impact 0.02
acres of vegetated wetlands by filling and mechanized clearing. The impacted wetlands are a
small palustrine, wooded, headwater wetlands.
A portion of the impacted streams will be relocated to 295 linear feet of constructed channel
that will be designed using natural stream channel design principles. NCDOT is proposing
payment to the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program to provide 920 linear feet of
compensatory stream mitigation for the remaining 460 linear feet of stream impacts that require
mitigation.

The purpose of the work is to provide for safer and more efficient road travel in the Harrison
Avenue road corridor and at its interchange with I-40. The applicant has considered several
alternatives to the proposed project, including the no-build alternative, project postponement,
alternative modes of transportation, asymmetrical widening, and alternative interchange designs.
In addition, the applicant has committed to investigating measures to avoid and minimize
wetland and stream impacts, including minimal use of riprap in stream channels, and use of
check dams within a riprapped channel to decrease flow velocities and reduce downstream
sedimentation. A Federal environmental assessment for this project was completed by the
NCDOT, and approved by the Federal Highway Administration on October 31, 1995.
Overall plans showing the proposed construction are included with this public notice.
Additional detailed plans may be reviewed at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory
Field Office at 6508 Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 120, Raleigh, North Carolina 27615-6846, or at
the offices of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality at the address shown below.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the
applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army permit will be
issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by
this agency, nor will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as
required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the
notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing
shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of
Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and the project does not impact any registered property or property
listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer. NCDOT has
conducted surveys for architectural resources, and has coordinated with the North Carolina State
Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). SHPO has concurred that the project will not have any
effect on architectural or archaeological resource properties eligible for inclusion in the Register.
The District Engineer is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently,
unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work
under the requested permit.

3
The District Engineer is not aware, based on available information, that the activity will affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts,
including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest.
Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest
requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case.
The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and
if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the
outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for
both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the
proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are
conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values,
fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food
and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the
needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill
materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's
404(b)(1) guidelines., Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or
criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary
to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State, and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes, and other interested parties in order to consider and
evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the
Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition, or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species,
historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public interest
factors listed above. Comments are used in preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or
Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments
are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public
interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification
required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

4
The NCDWQ considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302,
306, and-3 07 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the DA permit
serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the
offices of the Wetlands /401 Unit, North Carolina DENR, Division of Water Quality, 4401
Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any
person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act
certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina DENR Division of Water
Quality, Wetland/401 Unit, 1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1621, on or before
