APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Ms. Trish Simon, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 12
P.O. Box 1067
Aberdeen, NC 28315
Dear Ms. Simon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
permanently impact 36 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to South Crowders Creek in order to
replace a pipe on SR 1102 (Unity Church Road) in Gaston County. The project should be constructed
in accordance with your application dated September 18, 2001 (received 24 September 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 only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us, in writing, and 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, or if stream impacts 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. All pipes required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the
streambed). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of pipe
extensions. Pipes shall be installed one foot below the stream to allow for fish and other wildlife
movement.
2. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
3. Heavy equipment shall -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
4. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed in order to utilize it for storm water sheet flow.
5. Stringent erosion control measures shall be installed where soil is disturbed. Erosion control shall
be maintained until the project is completed. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation

shall be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of ground-disturbing activities to provide long
term erosion control. NCDOT is encouraged to use on-site vegetation and material for
streambank stabilization where practicable.
6. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If necessary, rip-rap must be limited to the stream bank below the high water
mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water.
7. Rock silt screens at culvert outlets shall be removed at project completion.
Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project.
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 that 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 919-733-9646

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 North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 113A-10; NCAC 25). The
NCDOT proposes to improve and pave the referenced roadway.
The project will require pipe replacement of an existing 24-foot, 48" CMP at
Station 38+50. This pipe will be replaced with a 40-foot 112"x75" CMPA with concrete
headwalls. A small section of stream will be relocated away from the existing road to
facilitate widening to meet current safety standards.
We will not object to the project as proposed by Ms. Trish Simon in her
application of September 18, 2001 providing that the project construction follow the
design and methods indicated. The relocated channel will mimic existing channel
patterns and dimensions.
1. The CMPA should be designed and constructed large enough so that it can be
installed one foot below streambed grade so that all waters can flow through
uninterrupted and without freefalling or damming on either end during low
flow conditions to maintain fish passage. The dimension, pattern, and profile
of the stream and floodplain above and below the pipe should not be modified
by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
SR1102, NWP 14 2 September 21, 2001
2. 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.
3. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream
channel, i order to minimiap sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of
introducing other pollufantsinto the stream.
4. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
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. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for
streambank stabilization when practicable.
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 336/769-9453.

Gaston County, NC
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
11-11
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes the
following project for your issuance of a Section 404 Permit. We believe this project can
be accomplished under NWP # 14, Linear Transportation Crossing.
I have enclosed a straight line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14, a sketch of planned activities, and a location map relative to the secondary
road paving project/pipe replacement project on SR 1102, Unity Church Road, Gaston
County, NC. The secondary road paving project consists of 9.1 acres of NC DOT right
of way and the pipe replacement project encompasses 0.20 acres of this acreage, also
within NCDOT right of way.
Unity Church Road is currently a partially unpaved 18-foot wide gravel road. NCDOT
plans to pave the road from SR 1104 to SR 1112 for a length of 1.3 miles. It will be
graded and paved to current standards and typical section using bulldozers, pans,
backhoes, rollers, and pavers. The majority of the work will consist of reshaping the
existing alignment with one area of new alignment to shift the road away from a
paralleling stream. The stream parallels the road (1-5 feet) for a distance of
approximately 90 feet south of an existing crosspipe at Station 38+50..x,

DOT also proposes to remove an existing 24-foot, 48" CMP and replace it with a 40-foot
long 112"05" CMPA with concrete headwalls at the inlet and outlet and a 5-foot riprap
apron at the pipe inlet. Ten feet of riprap will be used around the inlet and outlet of the
pipe for bank stabilization. DOT proposes to fill 60 feet of the existing channel and
relocate it approximately 10 feet west (still within NCDOT right of way). The shift of
the road alignment and the stream relocation is being done to provide an'increased buffer
area between the roadway and the tributary. An on-site field meeting was held on
8/29/01 between representatives of NCDOT, Wildlife Resources Commission (Ron
Linville & Mary Ellen Haggard) and the Division of Water Quality (Pete Colwell) to
determine an acceptable design for the stream relocation. The relocated stream will be
constructed in such a way as to mimic the existing stream channel's pattern and
dimensions. The existing large vegetation on the east streambank will remain
undisturbed and the streambank between the stream channel and roadway will be seeded
and mulched. The road alignment changes and the stream relocation are shown on the
enclosed sketches and maps.
The pipe will be placed one foot below the existing streambed elevation and existing
channel morphology will be maintained at the inlet and outlet. It is proposed that the
watercourse be blocked using sandbags and pumped around the construction area during
the pipe installation following NCDOT best management practices for pipe placement
activities. The diversion will extend approximately 5 feet upstream of the channel change
and 5 feet below the riprap at the pipe outlet.
The stream impacted by the proposed project is an unnamed tributary to South Crowders
Creek, which is classified Class C waters and is located in the Catawba River Basin.
There are no wetlands involved in the project. The stream is not located within a
watershed area nor is the road a rural or urban arterial; therefore, hazardous spill basins
are not required. Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist for this project.
The USGS Kings Mountain Quadrangle topographical map indicates a second unnamed
tributary crossing SR 1102; however, possibly due to the land use changes in the area,
this stream no longer exists. A USACE and DWQ stream classification form has been
completed for both tributaries shown on the USGS map.
A review of the Natural Heritage information for the threatened/endangered species listed
for Gaston County, the bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), the bald eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalus), and Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), did not reveal any
known sites in the vicinity of the proposed project. I have conducted a surveys for the
bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) in the project area on July 5 and July
26, 2001. None were observed. It was determined that none of these species or suitable
habitats were located in the proposed project area. No significant effect on this species is

anticipated. A review of the National Register of Historic Places was also conducted. It
is anticipated that no site listed on the National Register will be affected by the proposed
project. A concurrence form from the N.C. State Historic Preservation Office for this
project is enclosed.
By copy of this letter, we are asking Neil Trivette, Area Roadside Environmental
Engineer to comment on the above project. By copy of this letter, we are also
requesting concurrence from the Wildlife Resources Commission and the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of the application package to

10. Describe the purpose of the proposed work: The project consists of the upgrade of an
existing unpaved road to current paved road standards by secondary road construction
department for the safety of the travelling public. At Station 3 8+50, the bridge department will
remove an existing 24-foot, 48 CMP and replace it with a 40 foot long, 112"05" CMPA with
concrete headwalls at inlet and outlet and a 5 foot riprap apron at inlet. Ten feet of riprap will
be used around the inlet and outlet of pipe for bank stabilization. Due to the close proximity of
the stream and the existing road, the road will be reali ned slightly and 60 feet of stream will
be filled and relocated. The proposed relocated channel will also be 60 feet; therefore, there
will be no net loss of linear stream footage.
11. List the type of equipment to be used to construct the project: Secondary road construction
will be done using typical heavy construction: bulldozers, pans, backhoes rollers, and
pavers. The bridge department will use a trackhoe for excavation, pipe lag, and riprap
work.

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.
NCDOT will be ading and paving SR 1102 in order to improve safety and reduce maintenance
The creek parallels the road (1-5 feet) from for a distance of approximately 90 feet south of the
replaced and extended 16 ft. Sixty feet of the existing stream channel will be filled and sixty feet
of channel will be relocated approximately 10 feet to the west of the existing channel. The shift
of the road alignment and the stream relocation is to provide an increased buffer area between
the tributary and the roadway. The area along SR 1102 is being developed and the developers
have already platted lots to be sold. Due to the development that is occurring in this area, there
was concern that if the stream were relocated off of the DOT right of way, it would be more
difficult to prevent future impacts. NCDOT has chosen to replace pipe in existing location and
to relocate the stream on existing right of way. The new stream channel will be constructed in
such a way as to mimic the existing stream channel pattern and dimensions. The existing large
vegetation on the west streambank will remain undisturbed, the streambank between the stream
channel and the roadway will be seeded and mulched, as shown on the enclosed sketch. This
option was chosen to reduce the amount of fill in the stream and to maintain the existing
Page 7 of 12
meander that can be observed at this location. An on-site field meeting was conducted between
representatives of NCDOT. Wildlife Resources Commission (Ron Linville and Marv Ellen
Haggard), and Division of Water Quality (Pete Colwell) on 8/29/01 to determine an acceptable
design option.
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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrngide.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,
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.
PERMANENT IMPACTS DUE TO FILL < 150 FEET. The impacts of the 60 feet of fill in
the existing stream is being mitigated by the relocating 60 feet of the stream channel. The
relocation is being done in such a way as to mimic the dimensions and pattern of the existing
channel and will remain on NCDOT right of way to prevent future impacts to the relocated
section.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
Page 8 of 12

EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROL PLAN
GASTON COUN'TY
SR 1102 UNITY CHURCH ROAD
DATE JULY 3, 2001
DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
W.O. # 6.812488
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Pro-o-ram of the Division of High-wars is to
control accelerated erosion and sedimentation resulting
from the construction and maintenance 0, roads and
high%vavs in 'N'o,-L1^i Carolina. This program is developed
pursuant to the requlremeiits corltc lned in the Rules anCl
Pte?ulations for Erosion and Sedinnentation Control_
v,-hich were adopted by the North Carolina Sedimentation
Control Commissioi-i on April 10; 10 i=' .
Narrative
This project, which is a road improvement/widening project, is located in
South Western Gaston County. It will consist of construction
approximately 6,600 feet of Unity Church Road to a 20-foot edge of
pavement to edge of pavement with a 6-foot shoulder section on each
side. The construction will take place with its intersection with SR 1104
Pinnacle Road and Lewis Road SR 1112.
Construction will consist of the installation of pavement and storm
drainage. The construction will be performed on new roadway; the
majority of the land adjacent to the proposed construction area is made
up of undeveloped wooded land. The total area to be denuded for the
project is 6.0 acres. The erosion control for this project will be in the
form of 35 checkdams. The dams will be placed at several locations
along the roadway. Silt fences will be placed along the toe of sloped
where sediment-laden runoff cannot be directed into sediment basins. In
addition, temporary diversion ridge will be used to contain run off, which
will be discharged periodically at various checkdams. Rock checkdams
shall also be used along the ditch sections. The plans shall show the
exact location, type and size of each erosion control device.
There are 7 points of discharge from cross lines with this project, which
discharge into an existing system, which will have outlet protection
installed at the outlets. Inlet protection will be placed at all inlets where
a sediment basin cannot be placed at the discharge points. Rock check
dams will be installed at all inlet headwalls. Silt fences will be installed
at the toe of all fills where there is potential for erosion.
The soil erosion and sedimentation control structures and devices should
be done in accordance with the specifications and designs as shown on
the plans. All devices should be maintained until vegetation has been
stabilized until the black base has been placed.
Other erosion control measures of field modifications maybe required as
site conditions dictate.

SILT BASIN TYPE-B:
A silt basin type-B is a temporary basin built to collect sediment. flowing through a
drainage way. The silt basin is built at the base of the ditch with its length being at
least 2 times the width of the basin. The type-13 silt basin is generally built in
conjunction with temporary rock silt checks. and other devices that control or slow
down water flow. This device must be monitored closely and cleaned-out on a
regular basis until grass is established along the ditch line and sedimentation is no
longer a problem.
AREAS OF USE:
• In conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices used in
drainage ditches.
DESIGN CRIM-RIA:
• Width - variable
• Length - 2 times width
• Depth : 2 ft. minimum storage - 1800 cubic feet/acre (equals L z W x D)
