Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1128 (Buck Deans Road) from end of
pavement near SR 1127 to NC 231 in Nash County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade SR
1128 (Buck Deans Road) from end of pavement near SR 1127 to NC 231 in Nash
County. SR 1128 is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway.
Total project length is 1.82 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Buck Deans Road is scheduled to be paved in the 2000-2001 Secondary
Roads Construction Program.

Impacts to Waters of the United States
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
in the Neuse River Basin. The project crosses one perennial tributary to Turkey Creek,
two unnamed intermittent tributaries to Turkey Creek, and an existing pond in an
intermittent tributary to Turkey Creek. The jurisdictional sites are listed by location in the
following table. Impacts to the stream from construction include approximately 240
square feet (0.0055 acres) fill in surface water and a total of 240 linear feet of existing
channel impacted (60 feet at each crossing).

30+50 24 40 36 60
92+75 2(48) 35 & 40 2(48) 60 & 60
Impacts to wetlands associated with roadside shoulder and ditch construction are
anticipated to be less than 0.01 acres.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the project will be
protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or
storage of construction supplies will be allowed in or near wetlands or surface waters.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. Strict Enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best
Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced
during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces
and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to waters of the
U.S. at these sites.
Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in less than
0.01 acres of total impacts to waters of the U. S., therefore no mitigation is required.
Impacts have been minimized to the maximum extent possible during the design process.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project involves three road crossings of streams and one
pond, which are subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Construction impacts at each
jurisdictional crossing are less than 40 linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts
to the riparian buffer at each crossing, the crossings are exempt from the Rule. Efforts
will be made to minimize the impacts of additional storm water by the installation of extra
check dams, level spreaders and vegetated swales wherever possible.
Dewatering
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream during the construction
of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags, sheet metal
cofferdams, or Class B or Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel
approximately 10 feet upstream of the proposed pipe inlet. To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream. The stream will be dewatered for less
than five consecutive working days. This will result in temporary impacts to these surface
waters.
Temporary impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of a total
of 0.006 ac of streambed and approximately 70 linear feet stream channel for each
proposed pipe replacement. The sandbags or riprap covered with filter fabric will be
entirely removed after construction.
Regulatory Review
By copy of this letter, NCDOT requests that the subject project be reviewed and
concurrence obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office that there is no effect to
any National Register or Study-listed properties within the subject projects Area of
Potential Effects.
By copy of this letter, NCDOT requests concurrence by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) and the N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission representatives that the subject
project is not likely to adversely affect any endangered or threatened mussel populations.
On January 11, 2001, informal consultation by the Division Environmental Officer, Robin
Little, with the USFWS NCDOT Coordinator, Tom McCartney, revealed potentially
suitable habitat for dwarf wedge or tar spiny mussels in the stream located at Station
92+75 of the subject project.
On March 26, 2001, NCDOT PDEA Staff Biologist, Tim Savidge, and the Division
Environmental Officer, Robin Little, conducted a survey for any endangered mussel
species. Approximately 8 living Elliptio spp. specimens were found, in the stream channel
approximately 30 feet upstream of the existing culverts. Approximately 0.5 man-hours
were spent searching for mussels, both upstream (100 feet) and downstream (100 feet) of
the existing culverts. The stream channel substrate was mixed sand, cobble and silt
sediments, with depths of 18 inches in the deepest pools.
The stream channel downstream of the existing culverts appeared to have been
straightened and channelized, and was adjacent to a cow pasture with no fencing along the
stream bank. Significant sediment and erosion were observed in the vicinity of the existing
pipe in the right of way and associated with the livestock access from the pasture.
Appropriate best management practices will be employed to reduce sedimentation in the
subject stream channel.
Permit Issues
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWT) 14, Linear Transportation Crossings. Notification for the use
of this NWP to the USACE is required for this project, for although the discharge
associated with the project is less than 0.10 acre, the project does require impacts to
special aquatic sites (stream with riffle - pool sequence). Also, notification to the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for Section 401 Water Quality Certificate
(WQC) No. 3289 is required for this project. NCDOT will comply with all conditions
associated with this NWP and WQC.
Additionally, the purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a Section
404 NWP 33 to dewater the stream during project construction. The 401 WQC No. 3114
(which corresponds to NWP 33) does not require written concurrence from the NCDWQ
as NCDOT intends to comply with conditions for the WQC.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 1128 in Nash County. Temporary
impacts to the stream from dewatering activity will involve 0.006 ac. of streambed and 70
linear feet of stream channel for each of four stream crossings. Impacts associated with
the pipe replacements at this project include 0.0055 acres of fill in surface water and 240
linear feet existing channel impacted. The project is located in the Neuse River Basin.
Impacts to the riparian buffer surrounding an adjacent pond are estimated to be 0.40 acres,
while the impacts at each stream crossing are less than 40 linear feet in the buffer and are
therefore exempt from the Riparian Buffer Rule. The NCDOT asks that the dewatering of
the stream be authorized under a Section 404 NWP 33. The NCDOT will adhere to all
applicable Section 404 NWPs and-Section 401 WQCs conditions. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Robin M. Little at (252) 237-
6164.

4. Pond Creation
Page 6 of 12
If construction of a pond 'is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the pro-ect will be protected from unnecessary
encroachment. No stating of construction equipment will be allowed in or near wetlands or
waters of the U.S. Sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices for the
protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project construction.
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

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)
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.
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 httti_"Zh2O_ air:stlte_nC.U.S.?,dr liDdex_htrn. If
