APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. Heath Slaughter, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 11
P.O. Box 250
North Wilkesboro, NC 28659
Dear Mr. Slaughter:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 48
linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Crab Creek in order to improve SR 1440 (Early Road) in Alleghany
County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated 3 July 2001
(received 6 July 2001). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification No. 3289, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits
before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying
404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification. .
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must 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, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet,
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 and any additional
conditions listed below.
1. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the
trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15, or as otherwise determined by the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from
sedimentation during construction.
2. Stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be routed directly
into streams.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds
[15A NCAC 4B .0024].
4. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of
ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control.
5. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel should not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of culvert extensions.
6. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.

Page 2 of 2
7. Disturbance of the stream channel must be limited to only what is necessary to perform the culvert
installation. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the
stream.
8. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Ms. Cynthia Van Der Wiele at 919.733.5715 or Ms.
Jennifer Frye of the Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336.771.4600.

Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: July 12, 2001
SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), SR1440, Early Road,
Unnamed Tributary to Crab Creek, Alleghany County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting a concurrence letter
from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Biologists on staff with the NCWRC have reviewed the
proposed improvements and are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These
comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C.
466 et seq.).
The proposed project consists of widening and paving SR 1440. The replacement of one pipe
culvert will affect 481n. feet of an unnamed tributary to Crab Creek. Crab Creek is in a High
Quality Water Zone and is designated Hatchery Supported Water. Tributaries to Crab Creek are
likely to support trout. We will not object to the project as proposed provided that the following
conditions are implemented:
1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are
prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect
the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during construction.
2. Disturbance of the stream channel must be limited to only what is necessary to
install the culvert. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather
than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the
likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
SR 1,140, Early Road 2 July 12, 2001
3. The installation of the pipe should insure that all waters flow without freefalling or
damming on either end during low flow conditions. The dimensions, pattern, and
profile of the stream above and below the pipe should not be modified by widening
the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. As possible, where disrupted,
natural floodplain benching and aquatic life passage should be restored.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for
sensitive watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0024).
5. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil
within 10 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
NCDOT should utilize onsite native vegetation and materials for streambank
stabilization, rather than excessive riprap (or hard stabilization methods). Vegetation
provides bank stabilization, as well as shade for cooler water temperatures, and
riparian edge habitat. If riprap is used, it must be limited to the lower 1/3 of the
streambank.
6. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does
not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's
water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the early planning
stages. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at (336) 527-
1547.

SR 1440 (Early Road)
Alleghany County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Manuele:
1® 3
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave primarily
along the existing roadway of SR 1440 (Early Road) in Alleghany County. This project will
require the replacement of one (1) wet cross line as shown below:
1) Replace existing 32'x 30" CMP at station 18+10 with a 60' x 36" B.C.C.S. pipe.
Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 20 linear feet or less. New stream impacts = 481n. feet.
This wet cross line carries an unnamed tributary to Crab Creek (Class: C, Trout). No Threatened
or Endangered Species (or their critical habitat) will be impacted by this project. The total project
length is approximately 0.46 miles. Due to the proposed work, we are requesting a 404
Nationwide Permit 914.
Since this is an existing roadway, the minor modifications proposed in this application should not
remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Any widening of the existing roadway will be
directed away from any adjacent creek whenever possible with minimum fill placed in any buffer
area. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. By utilizing the
erosion control measures outlined in the attachments to this application, downstream water
quality standards will be protected.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The existing roadway must be widened to achieve an acceptable section width, thus increasing
public safety. The existing pipe must be replaced for the same reason. By utilizing the erosion
control measures as shown in the attached drawings, adverse impacts to streams in the area will
be minimized. Since this is an existing roadway, the stream impacts cannot be avoided.
However, the replacement pipe length will be the minimum needed to construct the widened
roadway.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at

Silt Basin Type B's will* be constructed to the .dimension 'of
six feet.by.three feet by three feet unless otherwise noted
on the plans.
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control
measures will be as follows:
Temporary silt basins shall be installed before
clearing and grubbing begins.
Silt fences and temporary silt ditches shall be
installed after clearing and before g?rading.
Temporary stone-ditch checks shall be installed as
soon as ditchline is established.
Pine outlet and inlet protection will be done as
soon as the pipe is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control
measures are to be implemented as soon as practical.
RS .
Always SL?::R toward ditch line as a '
