Dear Mr. Mills:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 30 linear feet of streams for the purpose of improving SR 1505 in Orange County. The project
should be constructed in accordance with your application dated April 24, 2001. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289.
This certification corresponds to the General Permit 198200031 issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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
remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification.
t
1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of
Completion Form" to-notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. _

the physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any
calculations used to determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. If suitable stream mitigation is
not practical on-site, then stream impact will need to be mitigated elsewhere;
5. Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Randleman River Basins requires written
concurrence from DWQ in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0233, 15A NCAC 2B .0259 and.0250 and
15A NCAC 2H .0500. New development activities located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas

through the use of best management practices. Activities listed as "exempt" from these rules do not need
to apply for written concurrence under this Certification;
6. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the
elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless it can be shown to
DWQ that providing passage would be impractical. Design and placement of culverts and other
structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may
result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream
of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. Additionally, when roadways, causeways or other fill
projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or
bridges must be provided to maintain the natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction
of the floodway that may result in destabilization of streams or wetlands;
7. If this Certification is used to access building sites, all lots owned by the applicant must be buildable
without additional fill beyond that allowed under other General Certifications. Deed restrictions must be
placed on the remaining wetlands and streams on these lots to restrict future wetland and stream fill.
DWQ shall be sent copies of all deed restrictions applied to these lots;
8. That 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" whichever is more appropriate (available from the
Division of Land Resources (DLR) in the DENR Regional or Central Offices) shall be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and
maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance with the appropriate
turbidity water quality standard;

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

SUBJECT: Orange County,Replacement of one existing 72-inch Corrugated Metal
Pipe Arch under Wheelers Church Road (SR 1505) or addition to existing.
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace one (1)
line of 30 feet of 72" CM Pipe with one (1) line 60' feet of 81"x 59" Corrugated Metal
Pipe Arch as part of a project to convert Wheelers Church Road (1505) from a gravel
surface to a paved surface road. Replacement with a longer and larger pipe is necessary
to bring the road up to current construction standards and increase safety. Impacts will
result from the permanent placement of fill in 30 linear feet of channel
No High Quaility Waters, or Outstanding Resource Waters occur in the project area. No
federally protected aquatic species were observed during surveys conducted on
September 2, 2000 by Lenwood Smith, II , Logan Williams and Tim Savidge on
02/07/01. No protected terrestrial species or habitat were observed during surveys
conducted on September 14, 2000 and April 20,2001 by Lenwood Smith, II.
Records from the NCDOT Historical Architect also indicate that the project complies
with the National Historic Preservation Act.
The NCDOT anticipates that this activity will be authorized under General Permit 31.
This letter is also intended as a request for authorization under General Water Quaility
Certification #3289 from the NC Division of Water Quality. Construction is anticipated
to begin in May and last for 14 days.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Chad Kimes
at 336-570-6833 or Len Smith 336-375-5589. Thank you for your time and assistance.

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
htti)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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.
The existing right of way was shifted west to avoid the relocation of 30 feet of channel .
The new pipe will be buried one foot below stream bed elevation to facilitate aquatic life
Movement.
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
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

SUBJECT: Orange County,Replacement of one existing 72-inch Corrugated Metal
Pipe Arch under Wheelers Church Road (SR 1505) or addition to existing.
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace one (1)
line of 30 feet of 72" CM Pipe with one (1) line 60' feet of 81"x 59" Corrugated Metal
Pipe Arch as part of a project to convert Wheelers Church Road (1505) from a gravel
surface to a paved surface road. Replacement with a longer and larger pipe is necessary
to bring the road up to current construction standards and increase safety. Impacts will
result from the permanent placement of fill in 30 linear feet of channel
No High Quaility Waters, or Outstanding Resource Waters occur in the project area. No
federally protected aquatic species were observed during surveys conducted on
September 2, 2000 by Lenwood Smith, II , Logan Williams and Tim Savidge on
02/07/01. No protected terrestrial species or habitat were observed during surveys
conducted on September 14, 2000 and April 20,2001 by Lenwood Smith, II.
Records from the NCDOT Historical Architect also indicate that the project complies
with the National Historic Preservation Act.
The NCDOT anticipates that this activity will be authorized under General Permit 31.
This letter is also intended as a request for authorization under General Water Quaility
Certification #3289 from the NC Division of Water Quality. Construction is anticipated
to begin in May and last for 14 days.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Chad Kimes
at 336-570-6833 or Len Smith 336-375-5589. Thank you for your time and assistance.

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/strmgide.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)
r
enhancement creation or preservation), mitigation proposed (restoration, p ), 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.
The existing right of way was shifted west to avoid the relocation of 30 feet of channel.
The new pipe will be buried one foot below stream bed elevation to facilitate aquatic life
Movement.
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
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three 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
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
