APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
NC Department of Transportation
c/o William D. Gilmore
PO Box 25201
Raleigh, NC 27611
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 0.09 acres
of wetlands and 471 feet of stream channel in Rutherford County, for the purpose of road widening on SR 2241/2179
as you described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on July 17, 2000. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that this till is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289.
This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but
not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Water shed
regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us 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 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 be valid, you
must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box
27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646.

Subject: NWP 14 request for the proposed Widening of SR 2241/2179 (Oak Street) from
west of the intersection with US 74 Alt. to Young Street in Forest City,
Rutherford County, TIP No. U-271 IA.
Dear Sir:
This permit application serves to replace the previously submitted application, dated 28 January
2000. Due to an update in stream information, a new permit application was necessary. The
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen SR 2241/2179 (Oak
Street) to a multi-lane section from west of the intersection with US 74 Alt. to Young Street in
Forest City. The 2.4 km (1.5 mi) long project will widen the existing roadway to a five-lane curb
and gutter. The proposed cross section will consist of two 3.6 m (12.0 ft) travel lanes in each
direction and one 3.6 m (12.0 ft) center turn lane. The analysis of alternatives and the
environmental impacts are discussed in a State Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding 01'
No Significant Impact (FONSI) signed June 26, 1996 and May 28, 1997, respectively. Copies of'
the EA and the FONSI are available upon request. The Federal Project number is STP OOOS(99)
and the State Project number is 8.2890401.

IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE U.S.
Jurisdictional Surface Waters: Impacts to jurisdictional surface waters have been separated from
jurisdictional wetlands. This project will impact jurisdictional streams at five sites as well as a
small pond (Table 1). These impacts to surface waters are listed on the summary sheet with the
permit drawings. Mitigation requirements were determined during a field review meeting on 04
April 2000 with the Army Corps of Engineers representative Steve Lund. However, since the
site visit impacts have been reduced. Site 3 involves a surface water pond being filled, totaling
0.005 ha (0.01 ac) of impact. Site 4 is a highly degraded intermittent stream lacking biological
significance. This stream will be relocated south of the existing stream for a total of 55.0 m
(180.4 ft). The last 19.0 m (62.3 ft) will be piped due to stabilization problems resulting from the
steep slope.
Table 1. Surface Water Impacts
Site DWQ Index Number Impacts Classification Mitigation
Required
1 9-37-2 Bracketts Creek 17.0 m (55.8 ft) Perennial No
2 Ut to Bracketts Creek 1.5 m (4.9 ft) Perennial No
3 Pond 0.005 ha (0.01 ac) N/A No
4 Ut to Bracketts Creek 53.0 m (173.9 ft) Intermittent No
5 Ut to Bracketts Creek 39.0 m (128.0 ft) Perennial No
6 Ut to Bracketts Creek 36.0 in (118.1 ft) Perennial No

Jurisdictional Wetlands: The project will impact two wetlands. Wetland delineations were
conducted by NCDOT biologists using the criteria specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual. Jurisdictional wetland impacts will occur from the placement of
road shoulder fill and mechanized clearing, resulting in permanent wetland impacts of 0.09 acre Y- X
(0.034 ha). These impacts are identified on Sheet 4 of 10 of the permit drawings. ?5 3
4,
The wetland vegetation includes black willow (Salix nigra), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), 1-70
elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), southern arrowwood
(Viburnum dentatum), soft rush (Juncus spp.), sedges (Carex sp.), jewelweed (Impatiens (21 ''0
capensis), multiflora rose (rosa multiflora), grape (Vitis sp.), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron I? I
radicans). /
AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
The COE has adopted through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a wetland
mitigation policy which 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
Waters of the United States. Mitigation of wetland 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 5660.1 A (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 were taken to minimize or mitigate impacts to wetlands.
The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features to
avoid and minimize wetland impacts, and to provide full compensatory mitigation of all
remaining wetland impacts. Many avoidance and minimization measures were made during the
planning stages and are discussed in detail in the planning documents (EA and FONSI). In
addition, the following measures will also be implemented to minimize jurisdictional impacts:
• Installation of temporary silt fences, earth berms, and temporary ground cover during
construction. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management
Practices for the protection of surface waters and wetlands.
• Reduction of clearing and grubbing activity in and adjacent to water bodies and wetlands.
• Minimization of "in-stream" activities.
• All wetland areas not directly affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary
encroachment.
• NCDOT reduced the length of culverts by increasing the steepness of the slopes, therefore
decreasing the length of channel impacts.
Since this is a widening project, NCDOT will be extending existing structures along the water
bodies, thereby reducing stream impacts.
COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
Stream impacts have decreased since the original permit application was sent. One individual
stream crossing, a UT to Bracketts Creek at Site 4, will impact 53.0 m (173.9 ft). However,
during the field review meeting, Mr. Lund determined this stream is a highly degraded
intermittent stream lacking biological significance and not requiring mitigation. All other
individual stream crossings impact less than 45.7 m (150.0 ft), therefore no stream mitigation is
proposed. Wetland impacts do not exceed 1/10 of an acre, therefore no wetland mitigation is
proposed.
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed
Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of 16 June 2000, the Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) lists four federally protected species for Rutherford County, the Indiana
bat, (Myotis sodalis), dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora), white irisette
(Sisyrinchium dichotomum) and rock gnome lichen (Gymnoderma lineare). The NCDOT
evaluation of these species resulted in Biological Conclusions of "No Effect" for all of these
species. An additional review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of rare species and
unique habitats on 01 June 2000 revealed that no known occurrences of any federally protected
species occur within one mile of the project area. Therefore, project construction will not affect
these species.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Archaeological Resources: The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has stated by letter
dated June 23, 1995 that "there are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project
area. Based on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources
which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected
by the project construction." Therefore, no archaeological investigation was conducted in
connection with this project. Please see Appendix A of the EA for a copy of this letter.
Historic Architectural Resources: The area of potential effect for historic architectural properties
was delineated and the maps and files of the SHPO were consulted. This search revealed no
properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places or on the State Study List. In
addition, none of the properties over fifty years old are eligible for the National Register. The
SHPO has concurred with these determinations (see Appendix A of the EA).
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Attached is a copy of the permit drawings and Pre-construction Notification (PCN) for the
subject project. We anticipate the project will be authorized via a Nationwide Permit 14. We are
also hereby requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water Quality. A
check for $475.00 for processing the Section 401 permit application, has already been issued to
the Division of Water Quality for this project. We are also requesting a letter of concurrence
from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission during the project permitting process since
Rutherford County is a designated "trout" county.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Lynn Smith at

Dear Sir:
i
Subject: Stream mitigation in Rutherford County, SR 2241/2179 (Oak Street) from west of
US 74 Alt. to Young Street, State Project No. 8.2890401, I.I.P. No. U-271 IA.,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to widen SR 2241/2179 (Oak Street)
to a multi-lane facility just west of US 74 Alt. to Young Street in Rutherford County, a distance
of 2.4 km (1.5 mi.). The project will involve impacts to Bracketts Creek and four of its tributaries
in the Broad River Basin. The purpose of this letter is to request that the WRP provide
confirmation that you are willing to accept payment for the compensatory mitigation
requirements.
The project is located in the Mountain Province of Rutherford County in the Broad River basin
in Cataloguing Unit 03050105. Bracketts Creek (DWQ # 9-37-2) and its tributaries are
classified as Class C waters and is not a designated trout stream. Bracketts Creek is a second
order stream and considered a warm water fishery. We will need to mitigate 388.8 feet of stream
impact at a ratio of 2:1 by using 777.6 feet of stream mitigation credit from the N.C. Wetland
Restoration Program.
Please send the letter of confirmation to Steve Lund at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Asheville
Regulatory Field Office, 151 Patton Avenue, Room 143, Asheville, North Carolina 28801-5006
as well as John Dorney at the Division of Water Quality. Mr. Lund's fax number is
828-271-4858. We will be submitting the permit application in the next week. Therefore, we
would like to have the letter of confirmation by 20 July 2000. Thank you for your help with this
matter. If you have any questions or need additional information please contact Lynn Smith at
[phone].
Sincerely, I
William D. Gilmore, P.E., Manager
Project Development & Environmental Analysis Branch
