Page 2 of 9

of the allowable 96 linear feet of stream impact were recently used to construct a
road crossing within Winston Ridge Subdivision. The remaining 16 linear feet of
stream impact was allotted for the upstream culvert extension on" NC Hwy 96. North
Carolina__ Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has recently informed us that a
culvert extension is also required on the downstream (southwest) end of highway 96.
This proposed stream impact is approximately 20 linear feet. We are requesting a
modification to the previously authorized 401 Certificate and Buffer Authorization to
impact 20 linear feet of stream for a total of 116 linear feet. We are also requesting
for additional 950 SF of Neuse River Riparian Buffer Impacts in the highway
widening area. The proposed extension of the box culvert on NC 96 for the purpose
-- _-
of widening NC 96 will conform with NCDOT requirements. Please refer to the
attached NC 96 Site Plan for details. The proposed impact area is on the northwest
side.
11. We are requesting to extend the box culvert on NC 96 for the purpose of widening
NC 96 to allow for a turn lane into Winston Ridge subdivision. This will be achieved
by adding an extension and wing walls to the downstream end. The proposed
highway widening will also encroach into the Neuse River Riparian Buffer areas.
Equipment to be used includes pumps, trackhoes, bulldozers, and other land
grading and bridge equipment.
12. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The proposed highway widening will
provide safer access to the adjacent property while simultaneously allowing

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
Page 3 of 9

It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The current NC Highway 96
concrete box culvert is 53 linear feet. The previously authorized (July 14, 2006) 401
Certificate authorized 96 linear feet of stream impact. This included 16 linear feet for
widening associated with NC Highway 96 and the subdivision entrance. (NCDOT)
has recently informed us that a culvert extension is also required on the downstream
(southwest) end of highwav 96. This proposed stream impact is approximately 20
linear feet. We are requesting a modification to the previously authorized 401
Certificate and Buffer Authorization to impact 20 linear feet of stream for a total of
116 linear feet. We are also requesting for additional 950 SF of Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Impacts in the highwav widening area. The proposed extension of
the box culvert on NC 96 for the purpose of widening NC 96 will conform with
NCDOT requirements.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,

Page 5 of 9

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 proposed extension of
the box culvert on NC 96 for the purpose of widening NC 96 will conform with NCDOT
requirements. In addition to the previously authorized culvert extension on the
northeast upstream (subdivision) side, NCDOT has recently informed us that a culvert
extension is also required on the downstream (southwest) end of highway 96.
Wingwalls were utilized to minimize stream and buffer impacts. The existing culvert
currently provides aquatic passage. The proposed box culvert extensions will be placed
in-line with the existing submerged box culvert to allow aquatic passage. Please refer
to the attached stream crossing profile.
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 January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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
http://h2o.em•.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmPide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
Page 6 of 9

preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The proposed project should not be required to provide mitigation for the proposed
impacts. This is due the efforts of the developer's team to avoid jurisdictional areas
to the maximum extent possible. Upon completion of the proposed highway activity
the total stream impacts for the project will be approximately 116 linear feet
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): n/a
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): n/a
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): n/a
