APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Ms. Shacochis:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.842 acre of wetlands and 141
linear feet of unnamed tributaries to the Scuppernong River in order to construct proposed improvements to SR 1300 in
Tyrrell County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on April 30, 2001. After reviewing
your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not
limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will
expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is
sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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, compensatory mitigation may
be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in
the attached certification.
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, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh,
N.C. 27611-7447. 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 Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-9721 or Deborah Sawyer at [phone].

Dear Mr. Bell:

SUBJECT: Application for Section 404 Permit for: the Proposed Improvements of
SR 1300 (Elementary School Road/Moore Road) Tyrrell County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (Department) hereby applies for a
Department of the Army Section 404 Individual Permit for the proposed improvements to
SR 1300 (Elementary School Road/Moore Road) in Tyrrell County. The application
requests regulatory permission to fill or otherwise alter wetlands and/or surface waters,
under jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE).
An on-site meeting was convened on February 6, 2001 with the ACOE and March 2V
2001 with CAMA to discuss and consider project purpose and need, and reasonable and
feasible alternatives. It was determined that the road is too narrow for two dump trucks
to pass safely and any change in the road footprint will result in wetland impacts. NC
DOT proposes to raise the existing roadbed 2 feet and add 2 foot shoulders to each side of
the existing road footprint. The road will be paved with no ditches. CAMA determined
that no part of this project is under under CAMA jurisdiction. Therefore, the entire
project will be under ACOE/DWQ jurisdiction.
In addition to the information provided in this cover letter, an application form (ENG
FORM 4345), a vicinity map, and project maps, and project plans are also enclosed.
Purpose and Need
The purpose and need is to provide a safe, efficient roadway serving as the only access
road to the forestry industry and private sand borrow pit. As many as 250 trucks a day are
using this road, yet the 20-foot-wide road has no shoulders and is too narrow for two
dump trucks to pass safely. Several vehicles have been reported as stuck or overturned
during times of high water.

Description of the Alternatives
Four alternatives were discussed with engineers and ACOE, for which a Section 404
permit would be required are described below (see table 1). All four alternatives meet the
stated purpose and need of the project.
• Alternative 1: (preferred alternative) The proposed road will have 20 foot paved
road with 2-foot shoulders on each side. The grade along the entire roadway will be
raised approximately 2 feet. Grade elevation will enable roadway to be raised,
allowing roadway to no longer be subject to tidal flooding. The road will have no
ditches. Fill would impact 0.842 acres of wetlands.
• Alternative 2: Widen the existing road to 22 foot paved road with 4-foot shoulder on
each side. Slopes would be 2:1. Shoulders would be drastically reduced but will be
raised 2 feet throughout the project. The road will have no ditches. Fill would
impact 1.048 acres of wetlands.
• Alternative 3: Using the standard 60-foot right-of-way would include 20 foot paved
roadway with 7-foot wide shoulders. Ditch would be constructed with a 2:1 slope
and have a direct impact on wetland for about 13 feet wide and 1 foot depth on both
sides of the road. Indirect wetland impacts using the ellipse equation also need to be
calculated. Fill would impact 2.907 acres of wetlands.
• Alternative 4: Construct a new paved road to provide access to borrow pit and
forestry industry by another route. The existing road is 1.2 miles long. The nearest
access road other than SR 1300 for the sand borrow pit and forestry industry is
Levels Road (SR 1301), which would require greater than 1.38 miles of impact to
wetlands, plus the 60 foot wide right of way. Fill would impact approximately 9.45
acres.
Anticipated Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
The Department has determined that impacts to wetlands and/or surface waters will result
from the construction of either alternative. Table 1 presents estimated impacts to wetland
sites for each alternative, and a qualitative evaluation of each wetland's relative value. It
is important to note that the identification of wetland sites and the estimated magnitude of
wetland impacts within each alternative is based upon utilizing USDA soil maps,
National Wetland Inventory maps, USGS maps, and extensive ground-truthing. Drainage
from ditch construction was not calculated.
One canal is under DWQ jurisdiction. A 50-foot by 48-inch pipe will replace a 36-foot
by 24-inch pipe at the canal crossing. Impacts to this canal would therefore be 14 linear
feet and 24 inches wider. The pipe would be buried 1 foot.
Mitigation
The concept of mitigation within the framework of the 404b(1) guidelines requires that
reasonable efforts are made to Avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practicable and,
where avoidance has been demonstrated to be impracticable, practicable measures must
Page 3
April 26, 2001
Mr. Bell
be taken to Minimize impacts to these wetlands. After acceptable minimization efforts
have been taken, Compensation for unavoidable losses to wetlands is often required in
an attempt to offset such losses.
AVOIDANCE: In order to achieve the stated purpose and need of the project, total
avoidance of wetland sites and surface waters is not possible. The area around Columbia
is characterized by low-lying land and elevated water tables. The landscape is crossed by
numerous drainages and is heavily punctuated with wet flats, typical of the outer coastal
plain.
MINIMIZATION: The table below details the impacts to streams and wetlands for all
alternatives (Table 1).
NC DOT's standard policy is to utilize the entire 60 foot right of way during the
construction of secondary road projects in order to build a roadway that is as safe as
possible for the traveling public to utilize. A typical 60-foot right of way road is
composed of 20 foot paved roadway, 7-foot shoulders, and ditches with a 2:1 slope and
13 feet wide. This road would require 2.907 acres of wetland impact due to fill plus
compensation for drainage effects from the ditches (Alt. 3).
One of the alternatives included constructing a new road to provide access by an
upland route. All alternative routes cannot avoid wetland impacts due to the lowness of
all surround property. The existing road is 1.2 miles long. The nearest access road
excluding SR 1300 is Levels Road (SR 1301) which would require approximately 1.38
miles of impact to wetlands, plus the 60 foot wide right of way. Direct impact to
wetlands due to fill would be 9.45 acres plus compensation for drainage effects from the
ditches (Alt. 4).
Widen the existing road to 22-foot paved road with 4-foot shoulder on each side.
Slopes would be 2:1. Shoulders would be drastically reduced but will be raised
throughout the project. The raised road would allow for no need for ditch construction.
Fill to be placed in wetlands would impact 1.048 acres of wetlands (Alt. 2).
The proposed road will utilize the existing 20-foot wide paved footprint with
added 2-foot shoulders on each side. The grade along the entire roadway will be raised
approximately 2 feet. Grade elevation will enable roadway to be raised, allowing
roadway to no longer be subject to tidal flooding, thereby not requiring ditches. Fill to be
placed in wetlands would impact 0.842 acres (Alt. 1).

Mr. Bell
CONIPENSATION: NCDOT proposes to mitigate all unavoidable impacts to wetlands
resulting from construction of SR 1300 by acquiring 1.00 wetland credits from the
Scuppernong River Mitigation Site, an established private wetland mitigation bank
located within the Pasquotank River Basin in Tyrrell County (Figure 6). Acquisition of
these credits will be contingent upon approval of their use by appropriate regulatory
agencies.
Approximately 0.842 acres of unavoidable wetland impacts will be compensated by the
acquisition of 1.00 credits from the successfully established Scuppernong River Corridor
Wetland Mitigation Bank. Specific mitigation proposed to be debited from this bank
includes 1.00 restoration credits.
Other Jurisdictional Issues
In addition to a Section 404 permit, the Department must also obtain a Section 401 Water
Quality Certificate. Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Action ID No. 200110657 June 7, 2001
PUBLIC NOTICE
cn0!!p
wrUALIT ? I r
The NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPO SOT),
DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, 1548 MAIL SERVICE CENTER, NORTH CAROLINA, 27699-
1548, HAS APPLIED FOR A DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY (DA) PERMIT PURSUANT
TO SECTION 404 OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT TO DISCHARGE DREDGED OR FILL
MATERIAL INTO 0.842 ACRES OF SECTION 404 WETLANDS, TO IMPROVE A 1.2 MILE
SEGMENT OF SR 1300 (ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROAD/MOORE ROAD) IN TYRRELL
COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
BACKGROUND:
An on-site meeting was convened on February 6, 2001, with representatives from the NCDOT
and Corps of Engineers (COE) and on March 20, 2001, with a representative of the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM), to discuss and consider project purpose
and need, and reasonable and feasible alternatives. The representatives concluded the road is too
narrow for two dump trucks to pass safely and any change in the road footprint will result in
wetland impacts. NCDOT proposes to raise the existing roadbed 2 feet, add 2 foot shoulders to
each side of the existing road footprint and pave the surface. The least environmentally
damaging practicable alternative appears to be the NCDOT proposal with no roadside ditches.
NCDCM determined that no part of this project is under its jurisdiction.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The following description of work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from
observations made during on-site inspections by a representative of the Corps of Engineers.
NCDOT is proposing to raise existing SR 1300 two feet and add two foot shoulders to both sides
of the road. Grade elevation will enable the roadway to be raised, which will reduce flooding.
The road will have no roadside ditches.
Wetland impacts will occur on both sides of the road and total 0.842 acres. Bottomland
hardwood wetlands are the type of wetlands impacted. NCDOT proposes to mitigate the wetland
impacts by purchasing/debiting 1.0 wetland credit from the Scuppernong River Corridor
Mitigation Bank (SRCMB) near Columbia, North Carolina. The SRCMB is an established
private wetland mitigation bank located within the Pasquotank River Basin in Tyrrell County.
According to NCDOT, the purpose and need for the proposed work is to provide a safe,
efficient roadway serving as the only access road to a private sand borrow pit. As many as 250
trucks a day are using this road, yet the existing 20-foot-wide road has no shoulders and is too
narrow for two dump trucks to pass safely. Several vehicles have been reported as stuck or
overturned during times of high water.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North
Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for its review and concurrence. This
proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such
as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General
Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-Owned submerged land
under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North
Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Council of State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation control Plan by the Land Quality
Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 a-50-66).
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the
applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA permit will be issued until a State
coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued
until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certification as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the
notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing
shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of
Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being
eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent
of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the
presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed
activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
Based upon available information, the District Engineer has determined that the proposed
action would not adversely impact Essential Fish Habitat or associated fisheries managed by the
South Atlantic or Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the National Marine Fisheries
Service (50 CFR Part 600).
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public
interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public
interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits, which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be
balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a
proposal and if so the conditions, under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore
determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the
national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors, which
may be relevant to the proposal, must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof.
Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands,
cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with
Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral
needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.
For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States,
a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not
4
comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the
preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless
the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal.
To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the
overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification
required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The
application and this public notice for the DA permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for
certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the
offices of the Environmental Operations Section, NCDWQ, Salisbury Street, Archdale Building,
Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting
copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water
Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ), 1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621, on or
