Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Post-Construction Notification for secondary road improvementsto SR
1312 (Brewers Court Road) from NC 58 to end of road in Wilson County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is currently in the
process of upgrading SR 1312 (Brewers Court Road) from NC 58 to the end of the road
in Wilson County. SR 1312 was an unpaved roadway that is being upgraded to a paved
roadway. Total project length is 1.14 miles. Construction in upland areas was initiated
with the consent of the Environmental Officer on March 16, 2001. On May 18, 2001,
review of intermittent stream status by the Division of Water Quality Regional Office
(Steve Mitchell), prompted the required notification for Water Quality Certification and
Riparian Buffer Rules.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-41.7,
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. Brewers Court 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 three unnamed intermittent tributaries to
Toisnot Swamp, which are shown in the following table. Impacts to the streams from
construction include 180 square feet fill in surface water and a total of 82 linear feet of
existing channel impacted.
LOCATION EXISTING EXISTING PROPOSED PROPOSED
Site Width in.) Length ft. Width in. Length (ft.)
1 30 _ 44 42 60
2 24 44 36 60
3 30 42 42 60
No impacts to wetlands associated with roadside shoulder and ditch construction
are anticipated as a result of the subject project.
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. Sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices for
the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be strictly 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 no impacts
to wetlands. Impacts have been minimized to the maximum extent possible during the
design process.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The construction of the project involves a road crossing of a stream that is 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 site, the crossings are exempt from the Rule.
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 a day. 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 210 square feet of streambed and approximately 70 linear feet stream channel
for the proposed pipe replacement. The sandbags or riprap covered with filter fabric will
be entirely removed after construction.
Regulatory Review
The subject project has been 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.
The subject project has been reviewed by the Environmental Officer and by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) representative for the presence of listed
threatened and endangered species. The subject project has been determined to have no
effect on any listed threatened or endangered plant or animal species.
Permit Issues
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, Linear Transportation Crossings. Post-construction
notification for the use of this NWP to the USACE is provided as a result of field review
by NCDOT and NCDWQ staff. Also, notification to the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) for Section 401 Water Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3389 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 1312 in Wilson County. Temporary
impacts to the stream from dewatering activity will involve 210 square feet of streambed
and 70 linear feet of stream channel. Impacts associated with the pipe replacement at this
project include 0.002 acres of fill in surface water and 82 linear feet existing channel
impacted. The project is located in the Neuse River Basin. Impacts at the 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 [phone].

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.
USAGE - 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
