JATTENTION: Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
SUBJECT: Notification of Additional Temporary Wetland Impacts Associated kith the
Construction of the US 264 Bypass in Wilson, North Carolina.
R-102313, Project No. 6.349004T. USACE Action ID No. 199820019,
and DENR/DWQ Certification No. 971058.
On January 6, 1999, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a
Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC 9 971058) to the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) for the subject project. Subsequently, on April
29, 1999, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) authorized a Section 404
Individual Permit (Action ID 9199820019) for the subject project. By copy of this letter,
a modification to the permit for R-1023B is requested in order to accommodate the
additional temporary impacts associated with borrow operations for the subject site.
This request does not include any modification to previously permitted impacts, and
requests authorization of only temporary wetland impacts. The estimated total impacts
are 0.11 acres of mechanical clearing and grubbing and 0.09 acres of temporary fill in
wetlands.
?O
Post Office Box 3165, Wilson, North Carolina 27895-3165
At this time, additional temporary impact to wetlands will be necessary in order to
construct a temporary haul road in order to provide access to suitable borrow materials
for the construction of the subject project. An existing farm path will be temporarily
widened and elevated in order to meet standard safety design specifications. Filter fabric
will be installed beneath the proposed fill in order to facilitate complete removal upon
completion, and vegetation will be restored in the areas of mechanized clearing and
grubbing.
The location of the proposed temporary haul road and borrow pit areas is shown on a
general site vicinity map in Figure 1, and on an excerpt from the USGS Topographic
Quadrangle map, from the Wilson, N.C. quad on Figure 2. The site is also shown on an
excerpt from the Wilson County Soil Survey (Sheet 5) on Figure 3.
The contractor for the subject project, S. T. Wooten, has submitted an environmental
assessment report (by EcoScience Corporation (ESC), dated October 2, 2000) and
justification for the proposed temporary impacts associated with the widening of an
existing farm path in order to provide safe access as a temporary haul road. (See
Attachment A.) The purpose and need, practical alternative analysis and minimization and
avoidance of impacts provided by S.T. Wooten on July 17, 2001 are summarized below,
for your review.
As agreed upon by USACE and DWQ, NCDOT has included a requirement in the
construction project contracts for selected NCDOT contractors to obtain an
environmental assessment by an environmental consultant, in order to identify any issues
or permit needs associated with proposed borrow and waste pits for NCDOT construction
projects. The environmental assessment reports address the potential jurisdictional
wetland, stream channel, riparian buffer and threatened and endangered species impacts
associated with waste and borrow activities for permitted projects. Where suitable habitat
is identified, up-to-date threatened and endangered species surveys would also be
conducted and coordination with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
would occur. These reports are reviewed by the Division Environmental Officer for
completeness and accuracy and permit modifications are requested if any impacts are
noted. The Reclamation Plan, submitted by S. T. Wooten, Inc. to NCDOT on May 29,
2000, is included in Attachment B. On November 7, 2000, temporary wetland impacts
were identified in the vicinity of the proposed haul road for proposed borrow pits, when a
reclamation plan was reviewed by the Environmental Officer for the proposed borrow
sites for the subject project.
Purpose and Need
In order to provide safe access to the proposed borrow areas, the existing road will need
to be temporarily widened and elevated with appropriate materials in order to provide safe
access. The existing farm access road currently is too narrow for safe passage of large
dump trucks, and will not safely support the weight of the loaded trucks.
2
The contractor, with the intention of utilizing the Patterson and Lane Borrow Pits, bid
upon the US 264 Bypass. At the time, the process now in place for preliminary review of
proposed borrow areas was in effect. Borrow areas were often addressed as an
afterthought, and regulatory review occurred on an "as needed" basis. S.T. Wooten paid
a non-refundable deposit prior to bidding for the NCDOT contract, in order to secure the
necessary borrow materials at an agreed upon price. Failure to gain approval to widen the
existing road in order to utilize the dedicated borrow materials will impose a significant
financial hardship on the S.T. Wooten Co. and on NCDOT in terms of delay and project
logistics.
In the future, this situation will be avoided by either addressing waste and borrow needs
earlier in the permit process, or by environmental review prior to the commitment of
financial resources. In general, it is NCDOT policy to disapprove reclamation plans that
require impacts to jurisdictional waters, or to threatened or endangered species. It is now
a requirement in the construction contract language that the contractor contract with an
environmental consultant to identify any environmental issues associated with borrow
areas and their associated access roads.
Practical Alternatives Analysis
According to the contractor, suitable borrow sources within economic hauling distances to
the project are extremely limited. Several known alternatives for borrow were reviewed
by S.T. Wooten prior to bidding on the NCDOT construction contract for the US 264
Bypass. Cost alternatives to the proposed borrow site do not compare favorably, with the
minimal incremental increase estimated at $239,116.00, not including the $125,000
deposit. These additional costs reflect only the additional costs for hauling the material
and do not account for delays and additional fixed costs. More information can be
provided at your request.
Project Design
The existing farm path is shown in the attached Figure 4 and on Typical Cross-sections 1,
2 and 3 in Attachment C. The calculations are based on cross-sections and surveyed
width measurements at 100-foot intervals, averaged and shown in Table 1, also in
Attachment A. The proposed temporary haul road footprint will be approximately 30 to
34 feet wide with the roadway width of 24 feet and 1:1 side slopes. The haul road will be
constructed out of select granular material, underlain with geotextile fabric in order to
facilitate complete removal and provide stabilization of the side slopes. Silt fence will be
installed on both sides from Station 3+80 to 7+20. The temporary road will be entirely
removed after borrow activities are completed, leaving access for the landowner via the
pre-existing dirt road. All disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched and wetland seed
mixture will be used in the wetland areas.
Temporary Impacts to Wetlands
According to the wetland delineation completed by ESC, and design plans and
impact calculations submitted by S. T. Wooten, approximately 0.11 acres of wetlands will
be mechanically cleared and grubbed in order to construct the temporary haul road.
Temporary impacts to wetlands by filling for the haul road will be approximately 0.09
acres. All areas where vegetation is removed will be re-vegetated upon removal of the
temporary road and completion of the borrow activities. A map of the delineated
wetlands and associated data forms for the delineated wetland areas are attached in
Attachment D.
According to ESC, the subject site supports mixed hardwoods and agricultural
fields. Within the mixed hardwood forest in the wetland areas, the predominant species
are swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michl[axil), willow oak (Q. phellos), American elm
(Ubnus americana), ironwood (Carpinus carohniana), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), and Nepal microstegium (Eulalia viminea). Drawings have been
provided for the subject site for the length of the proposed temporary widening of the haul
road. (See Attachment D.) Method III mechanized clearing will be used throughout the
project.
Impacts to Surface Waters and Riparian Buffers
The subject site is located in the Neuse River Basin. The subject site is located on
an inter-stream divide between Contentnea Creek and Hominy Swamp. (See Figure 2.)
There are no additional impacts to surface waters that were not accounted for in the
original permit. No streams were identified on the subject site that were shown on either
the USGS topographic quadrangle map (Wilson) or on the USDA/NRCS Wilson County
Soil Survey, Sheet 5. No jurisdictional stream channel segments were found within the
proposed area of impact. Excerpts from each map are included as Figures 2 and 3.
No additional temporary or permanent impacts to riparian buffers are anticipated as a
result of the proposed temporary access road or the proposed borrow pit areas.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: By utilizing the existing farm path, significant impacts to wetlands have
been avoided. Typically, suitable borrow is found in graded levee deposits in association
with the larger stream systems and cannot be reached easily without impacts to wetlands.
By using the existing road, impacts to previously undisturbed wetlands are avoided for the
most part. The temporary nature of the proposed impacts will avoid any significant
permanent impacts to wetlands. While the original proposal included a 40-foot wide haul
road, the current proposal includes a 24-foot wide temporary haul road. The existing farm
path is approximately 20 feet wide. All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the
project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction
4
equipment or storage of construction supplies will be allowed in or near adjacent or
nearby wetlands or surface waters.
Minimization: The entire temporary road will be removed upon completion of
borrow activities. Geotextile fabric will underlie all areas of fill within wetlands in order to
facilitate complete removal of fill materials and the restoration of original surface
contours. The side slopes have been steepened to 1:1 slope ratios at jurisdictional sites, as
shown on the typical cross-sections in Attachment A. 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 the
contractor and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to
waters of the U.S. at these sites.
Compensato!y Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in 0.11 acres of
temporary impacts to wetlands due to placement of fill in order to temporarily widen the
existing road and 0.09 acres of mechanized clearing and grubbing associated with the
temporary widening. No mitigation is offered to offset these impacts at this time. The
temporary fill will be entirely removed upon completion and any disturbed wetland areas
will be seeded and mulched with a wetland seed mixture. Impacts have been minimized to
the maximum extent possible during the design process.
Regulatory Review
By copy of this letter, NCDOT requests that the proposed 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 also requests that the subject project be reviewed by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) representative for the presence of federally listed
threatened and endangered species. The USFWS indicates three species with the federal
designation of Endangered have ranges that extend into Wilson County, including red
cockaded woodpecker, dwarf wedge mussel and Michaux's sumac. Review of the Natural
Heritage Program database and map records indicates no known occurrences of these
species have been documented within 1.0 mile of any of the reviewed borrow pit areas. A
field review for potentially suitable habitat for each species was conducted by ESC on the
proposed borrow pit areas and along the proposed haul road and is summarized below.
Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) require large stands of living pines or
mixed pine/hardwood stands with open mid-stories for nesting and foraging. No habitat
for this species was observed by ESC within the proposed haul road or borrow pit areas.
Preferred habitat for Dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmodonta helerodon) is streams with
moderate flow velocities and stream substrate ranging in texture from gravel and coarse
sand to mud, especially immediately downstream of debris and on stream-banks of
accreting sediment. No stream channel segments were present in any'of the proposed
borrow areas or in association with the haul road impacts.
Michaux's sumac (Rims michauxii) preferred habitat is disturbed areas where competition
has been reduced, such as maintained road margins, utility right of way or farm field
edges. While the proposed borrow pit areas and the proposed haul road do contain
potentially suitable habitat for this species, the areas in question are only marginally
suitable and will not be impacted by the proposed borrow activities.
Request for Permit Modification
It is requested that these activities be authorized through a modification of the
Section 404 Individual Permit Action ID No. 199820019, issued April 29, 1999. By copy
of this application, the NCDOT also requests that the NC Division of Water Quality
review the proposal for authorization through a modification of the 401 Water Quality
Certification (# 971058, issued January 6, 1999). If you have any questions or need any
additional information, please contact Ms. Robin Little at [phone].

VIII. Mitibation
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 USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application

Re: Results of a Wetlands Delineation on a Site Near Hominy Swamp
Wilson County, NC
Dear Martin:
Please find attached two maps indicating the locations of vegetated wed.iiidl,
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and regulatory review by the N.C. Divisioa +
One map is copied from the USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle (Wilson, NQ. and uric sccor:ci
is a hand drawing of the delineation indicating selected flag numbers. EcoScience Corporation
(ESC) personnel conducted a wetlands delineation at the above-mentioned site on Friday. S: ptcnthcr
29, 2000. This letter summarizes our findings.
Phvsical Features
The delineation was conducted within a corridor which extends approximately 600(} f::'i :!ioii_:
unpaved farm road and approximately 60 feet to each side of the center of the farm
extends along an approximately north-south oriented axis. Land use in the studlk
primarily hardwood forest and agriculture. Agricultural areas consist of two fields loc:ltcd v.._ t ..i
the road. The terrain is characterized as a generally flat, interstream divide. Then,
»t .., uonli ' .S':.--n lr:•ated narallet to .and. annrnvimntatw 10110 loot %,\
elevations range from 90 to 100 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum.
According to the county soil survey, the site contains three soil types: Weitad';ce anti
loam, Tomotley fine sandy loam, and Altavista fine sandy loam. The
Conservation Service considers Wehadkee and Chewacla and Tomotley map units to I)C
the Altavista map unit to be non-hydric with hydric inclusions. Wehadkee and C hewacla soils a; .
Tomotley soils are mapped in forested portions of the study corridor. A1.
in agricultural areas.
EcoScience Corporation
Mr. Martin Jones

Biological Features
The site supports mixed hardwood forest and agricultural fields. Within mixed hardwood forest on
higher ground the canopy is dominated by white oak (Quercus alba), mockemut hickory (Carya
toinentosa), red maple (Ater rubrum), and sweetgum (Liquidanibai" styraciflua). Other canopy
species include black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) and tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera). A well-
developed understory includes flowering dogwood (Corms f orida), eastern red cedar (Juniperus
vii"giiiiaiia), black chcri"y" (Pi"ci iiiis set otiiia), re U::iaplc, w cotauiii, auu rc"I inUIU0rr y `iv; oI .U r"icw u?.
Scattered vines and herbs include muscadine (Vitis rotwidifolia), trumpet creeper (Cai)lpsis
radicans), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), green-brier (Smilax rotundifolia), ebony
spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), elephant's foot (Elephantopus tomentosus), strawberry bush
(Etiorrymous ar)iericana), rattlesnake fern (Botiychhuii virghiiantan), and false strawberry
(Duchesnea indica).
The lower portions of the study corridor support species characteristic of a moist environment such
as swamp chestnut oak (Quercus inichauxii), willow oak (Q. phellos), American elm (Uh)us
aiitericana), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), green ash (Frarinus pennsylvanicum), and Nepal
microstegium (Eulalia viminea).
Jurisdictional Area Delineation
The USGS topographic quadrangle (Wilson, NC) and county soils mapping indicate no streams
within the site, and field surveys verified that no jurisdictional streams occur on site. All site
jurisdictional areas are vegetated (forested) wetlands.
Jurisdictional areas were delineated with sequentially-numbered, solid blue and pink-and-black
,_..?
flagging (see attached mapping for jurisdictional area locations ana ' seilccttcd n??ag nurn crs'.
Hatching is utilized on attached mapping to indicate jurisdictional areas. COE Routine Onsite
Wetland Delineation data forms were completed at selected points along the delineation to justify
jurisdictional calls.
On Friday, September 29, I spoke with Mr. Eric Alsmeyer (U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers [COE]
field regulator covering the project area) concerning obtaining a COE verification of the delineation.
Mr. Alsmeyer indicated to me that in order for him to make a site visit to this delineation, the N.C.
Department of Transportation will have to provide the COE with written statement outlining why
jurisdictional area impacts, in addition to those previously permitted, are justified for this project.
I do not expect to be able to schedule Mr. Alsmeyer for a site visit prior to a COE approval of a
permit modification.

Re: Wilson Borrow Pit Evaluation
Mr. Jones:
ESI Project No. ER01-003
Thank you for contacting Environmental Services, Inc., (ESI) concerning the above referenced
project. ESI has been contracted to conduct a jurisdictional wetland determination and
preliminary Threatened and Endangered species review for five (5) borrow pit sites located
around the Town of Wilson, in Wilson County, North Carolina. During the field review, Mr. Larry
Rodgers (S.T. Wooten Corporation) indicated that the Edward's pit would not be reviewed as
the landowner had withdrawn permission that morning. The field review of the four (4)
remaining sites was conducted on 9 January 2001. The borrow pit areas reviewed include the
High (Pit 1C), Lane (Pit 7), Patterson (Pit 8), and Davis (Pit 9A) borrow pit areas. Borrow pits
designated 1C, 7, and 8 are agricultural fields. Borrow pit 1C is currently under active
agricultural production, as is a portion of borrow pit 7. Borrow pit 8 is currently fallow. Borrow
pit 9A contains thick shrubby vegetation and shows no indications of agricultural production use.
This letter serves as the deliverable for this project.
Prior to the initiation of field efforts, available sources were reviewed, including U.S. Geologic
Survey 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles, National Wetland Inventory (NWI) quadrangles,
and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils mapping. Additionally, records kept
by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) concerning any known occurrences of
federally Threatened or Endangered species were reviewed.
Each borrow pit area was reviewed for the presence of jurisdictional wetland areas using the
three-parameter approach outlined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) (hydric soils,
hydrophytic vegetation, evidence of jurisdictional hydrology) and for jurisdictional stream
channel segments using criteria outlined by the COE and N.C. Division of Water Quality.
Federal guidance outlined in the Interagency Statement of Principals Concerning Federal
Wetlands Programs on Agricultural Lands (8/23/93) indicates the NRCS will be responsible for
jurisdictional determinations on farmland. ESI did not conduct any records review for former
wetland areas which appear to be actively cultivated or utilized for the production of farm
commodities to confirm the areas as "prior converted" (PC) croplands that are not subject to
jurisdictional consideration under Section 404 of the CWA. PC cropland has been defined as
wetlands that were both manipulated (drained or otherwise physically altered to remove excess
water from the land) and cropped before 23 December 1985 to the extent they no longer exhibit
important wetland values (Section 512.15 of the National Food Security Act Manual, August
1988).

Mr. Rodgers indicated that borrow pit 1C had been designated as "Prior Converted" (PC),
granting this field a non-jurisdictional status. A review of borrow pit 1C indicates that
jurisdictional wetlands do not occur within the borrow pit area but do exist immediately adjacent
to the southeast corner of the property (see attached map A). Buffers adjacent to jurisdictional
wetland areas are required by the N.C. Department of Transportation. Buffer widths are set by
the Project Engineer and are generally a minimum of 25 feet in width.
A PC cropland designation has not been given for borrow pit 7. Vegetation within this area
includes consists of cocklebur, dog fennel, and pockets of plume grass. A review of borrow pit 7
indicates two areas of hydric soil, as shown on attached map B. If this area is determined to be
a PC cropland, the area will not be considered a jurisdictional wetland. However, if the area is
determined to not be a PC cropland, these areas may be considered jurisdictional wetlands.
Evidence of jurisdictional hydrology was noted within the hydric soil pockets.
A review of borrow pit 8 indicates no jurisdictional wetland areas exist within the borrow pit area.
Vegetation within this area consisted of soybeans along the western boundary, and cocklebur,
dog fennel, and groundsel bush within the fallow portion. No evidence of hydric soil was noted.
No evidence of jurisdictional hydrology was noted.
A review of borrow pit 9a indicates the entire 2 acre parcel is a jurisdictional wetland area.
Vegetation within this area consists of soft rush, plume grass, greenbrier, as well as saplings of
sweetgum and loblolly pine. Soils within this property exhibited hydric characteristics including
gleying (Munsell color N8/0) and low chroma colors (Munsell color 2.5Y 4/1) within 10 inches of
the soil surface. Evidence of jurisdictional hydrology consisted of soil saturation within 3 inches
of the soil surface, evidence of surface ponding, as well as redoximorphic features present
throughout the upper 12 inches of the soil profile.
No jurisdictional stream channel segments were found within any of the borrow pit areas.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services indicates three species with the federal designation of
Endangered have ranges which are considered to extend into Wilson County, including red-
cockaded woodpecker, dwarf wedgemussel, and Michaux's sumac. A records review at NHP
indicates no known occurrences of these species have been documented within 1.0 mile of any
of the reviewed borrow pit areas. A review for potentially suitable habitat for each species was
conducted on each of the borrow pit areas.
Red-cockaded woodpeckers require large stands of living pines or mixed pine/hardwood stands
with open midstories for nesting and foraging. No habitat for this species exists within any of
the borrow pit areas.
Dwarf wedgemussel's preferred habitats are streams with moderate flow velocities and bottoms
varying in texture from gravel and coarse sand to mud, especially just downstream of debris and
on banks of accreting sediment. No stream channel segments are present within any of the
borrow pit areas.

Michaux's sumac preferred habitat is disturbed areas where competition has been reduced,
such as maintained roadside margins, utility rights-of-way, or farm field edges. Each borrow pit
area reviewed contains potentially suitable habitat for this species. Borrow pit areas 1 C, 7, and
8 all contain maintained margins at the edges of the farm fields, while borrow pit area 9a is
adjacent to a maintained power line right-of-way. However, it is ESI's understanding that the
maintained herbaceous fringes of each borrow pit area will be left undisturbed. The remaining
sections of each borrow pit area do not contain potentially suitable habitat for this species.
Environmental Services, Inc., appreciates this chance to offer our services to S.T. Wooten
Corporation on this project and we look forward to working with you again on future projects. If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Trogdon,
Re: Certification Pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act,
Modification to the construction of the US 264 Bypass in Wilson County, TIP Project R-2310, State
Project No. 6.349004T, WQC Project No. 011384 (DWQ No. for original application 971058).
Attached hereto is a modification to Certification No. 3217 issued to the North Carolina Department
of Transportation on January 4, 1999. The attached modification authorizes additional impacts to
0.11 acres of jurisdictional wetlands from mechanized clearing, and 0.09 acres of jurisdictional
wetlands due to the placement of temporary fill. The purpose of the additional impacts is the
widening of an access road to a borrow pit. The additional impacts are authorized only as described in
your application dated September 12, 2001. It should be noted the modification is applicable only to
the additional proposed activities. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification
associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated January 4, 1999 and all other
corresponding modifications still apply except where superceded by this certification.
If we can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500. The attached modification authorizes additional impacts to
0.11 acres of jurisdictional wetlands from mechanized clearing, and 0.09 acres of jurisdictional wetlands
due to the placement of temporary fill. The purpose of the additional impacts is the widening of an access
road to a borrow pit. The additional impacts are authorized only as described in your application dated
September 12, 2001. It should be noted the modification is applicable only to the additional proposed
activities. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated with the original Water
Quality Certification dated January 4, 1999 and all other corresponding modifications still apply except
where superceded by this certification.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the proposed wetlands in
conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will
not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if
conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described
in the Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to 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, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s) of Certification:
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of two manuals. Either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from
the Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices). The control
practices shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality
standard (50 NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs
in all lakes and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and
the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is
a direct impact from road construction activities;
5. No additional compensatory mitigation shall be done in accordance with this modification.
6. The temporary fill for the access road shall be removed upon completion of the project. In
addition, the area located under the removed temporary fill shall be scarified to loosen the
compacted soils.
7. All other conditions written into previous Water Quality Certifications for this project still apply.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions
are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within sixty (60) days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written
petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. If modifications are made to an
original Certification, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written
request within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Certification. Unless such demands are made, this
Certification shall be final and binding.
This the 1" day of November 2001
