MEMORANDUM
To: Lyn Hardison,Environmental Coordinator,Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs
From: Rob Ridings, Division of Water Resources,Transportation Permitting Branch
Subject: Comments on the Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact related to
proposed improvements to SR 1770 and SR 1603 in Nash County, State Project No.50214.1.1 &
47133.1.1;TIP No R-5720&U-5996. State Clearinghouse Project No. 19-0268.
This office has reviewed the referenced document received June 28,2019. The NC Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR)is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for activities that impact
Waters of the U.S., including wetlands. It is our understanding that the project as presented will result in impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands,streams,and other surface waters. The NCDWR offers the following comments based on
review of the aforementioned document:
Project Specific Comments:
1. To meet the requirements of NCDOT's NPDES permit NCS000250,the road design plans shall provide
treatment of the stormwater runoff through BMPs as detailed in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Department of Transportation Stornnvater Best Management Practices Toolbox manual. The BMPs should,
to the MEP,be selected and designed to reduce impacts of the target pollutants of concern (POCs)for the
receiving waters.
2. All streams in the project area are NSW(Nutrient Sensitive)waters of the State. The NCDWR is very
concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project. The NCDWR recommends
that highly protective sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented to reduce the risk of nutrient
runoff to all streams. Post-construction stormwater BMPs should,to the MEP, be selected and designed to
reduce nutrients.
3. Stony Creek and its tributaries are 303(d)impaired waters of the State.The NCDWR is very concerned with
sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project.The NCDWR recommends that the most
protective sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented in accordance with Design Standards in Sensitive
Watersheds(I5A NCAC 04B .0124)to reduce the risk of further impairment to Stony Creek.Post-construction
stormwater BMPs should,to the MEP,be selected and designed to reduce target POCs in the 303(d)list for the
receiving waters.

4. This project is within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. Riparian buffer impacts shall be avoided and minimized to
the greatest extent possible pursuant to I5A NCAC 2B.0259.New development activities located in the
protected 50-foot wide riparian areas within the basin shall be limited to"uses"identified within and
constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC.02B .0295. Buffer mitigation may be required for buffer impacts
resulting from activities classified as"allowable with mitigation"within the"Table of Uses"section of the
Buffer Rules or require a variance under the Buffer Rules. A buffer mitigation plan,coordinated with the
North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services,must be provided to the NCDWR prior to approval of the
Water Quality Certification. Buffer mitigation may be required for buffer impacts resulting from activities
classified as"allowable with mitigation"within the"Table of Uses"section of the Buffer Rules or require a
variance under the Buffer Rules.A buffer mitigation plan,coordinated with the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services,must be provided to the NCDWR prior to approval of the Water Quality Certification.
General Comments:
5. The environmental documents and permit applications should provide a detailed and itemized presentation of
the proposed impacts to wetlands and streams with corresponding mapping. If mitigation is necessary as
required by I5A NCAC 2H.0506(h),it is preferable to present a conceptual(if not finalized)mitigation plan
with the environmental documentation. Appropriate mitigation plans will be required prior to issuance of a
401 Water Quality Certification.
6. Environmental impact statement alternatives shall consider design criteria that reduce the impacts to streams
and wetlands from storm water runoff. To meet the requirements of NCDOT's NPDES permit NCS000250
these alternatives should include road designs that allow for treatment of the storm water runoff through best
management practices as detailed in the most recent version of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation Stornarater Best Management Practices Toolbox manual,which includes BMPs such as
grassed swales,buffer areas,preformed scour holes,retention basins,etc.
6. After the selection of the preferred alternative and prior to an issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification,
the NCDOT is respectfully reminded that they will need to demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of
impacts to wetlands(and streams)to the maximum extent practical. In accordance with the Environmental
Management Commission's Rules(15A NCAC 21-1.0506[h]),mitigation will be required for impacts of
greater than 1 acre to wetlands. In the event that mitigation is required,the mitigation plan shall be designed
to replace appropriate lost functions and values. The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services may be
available to assist with wetland mitigation.
7. In accordance with the Environmental Management Commission's Rules(15A NCAC 2H.0506[h]),
mitigation will be required for impacts of greater than 150 linear feet to any single stream. In the event that
mitigation is required,the mitigation plan shall be designed to replace appropriate lost functions and values.
The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services may be available to assist with stream mitigation.
8. Future documentation, including the 401 Water Quality Certification Application,shall continue to include an
itemized listing of the proposed wetland and stream impacts with corresponding mapping.
9. The NCDWR is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project. The
NCDOT shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the aquatic
environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
10. An analysis of cumulative and secondary impacts anticipated as a result of this project is required. The type
and detail of analysis shall conform to the NC Division of Water Resources Policy on the assessment of
secondary and cumulative impacts dated April 10,2004.

11. The NCDOT is respectfully reminded that all impacts, including but not limited to,bridging,fill,excavation
and clearing,and rip rap to jurisdictional wetlands,streams,and riparian buffers need to be included in the
final impact calculations. These impacts,in addition to any construction impacts,temporary or otherwise,
also need to be included as part of the 401 Water Quality Certification Application.
12. Where streams must be crossed,the NCDWR prefers bridges be used in lieu of culverts. However,we realize
that economic considerations often require the use of culverts. Please be advised that culverts should be
countersunk to allow unimpeded passage by fish and other aquatic organisms. Moreover,in areas where high
quality wetlands or streams are impacted,a bridge may prove preferable. When applicable,the NCDOT
should not install the bridge bents in the creek,to the maximum extent practicable.
13. Whenever possible,the NCDWR prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the streambanks and do not require stream channel realignment. The
horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and wildlife passage beneath the
structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not be blocked. Bridge supports(bents)
should not be placed in the stream when possible.
15. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge
and pre-treated through site-appropriate means(grassed swales,pre-formed scour holes,vegetated buffers,
etc.)before entering the stream. To meet the requirements of NCDOT's NPDES permit NCS000250,please
refer to the most recent version of the North Carolina Department of Transportation Stormwater Best
Management Practices Toolbox manual for approved measures.
14. Sediment and erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands or streams.
15. Borrow/waste areas should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practical. Impacts to wetlands in
borrow/waste areas will need to be presented in the 401 Water Quality Certification and could precipitate
compensatory mitigation.
16. The 401 Water Quality Certification application will need to specifically address the proposed methods for
stormwater management. More specifically,stormwater shall not be permitted to discharge directly into
streams or surface waters.
17. Based on the information presented in the document,the magnitude of impacts to wetlands and streams may
require a Nationwide Permit application to the Corps of Engineers and corresponding 401 Water Quality
Certification. Please be advised that a 401 Water Quality Certification requires satisfactory protection of
water quality to ensure that water quality standards are met and no wetland or stream uses are lost. Final
permit authorization will require the submittal of a formal application by the NCDOT and written concurrence
from the NCDWR. Please be aware that any approval will be contingent on appropriate avoidance and
minimization of wetland and stream impacts to the maximum extent practical,the development of an
acceptable stormwater management plan,and the inclusion of appropriate mitigation plans where appropriate.
18. If concrete is used during construction,a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged
to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. Concrete shall
be handled in accordance with the NPDES Construction General Permit NCG010000.
19. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed,the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours
and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and appropriate native woody
species shall^r be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing

the area with chain saws,mowers,bush-hogs,or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root
mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and minimizes soil disturbance.
20. Unless otherwise authorized,placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams shall be placed
below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,and
20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. 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
streambeds or banks,adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above structures.The applicant is
required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by the NCDWR.
If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,
please contact the NCDWR for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit
modification will be required.
21. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as
closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation,floodplain benches,and/or sills may be
required where appropriate. Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the
inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires
increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
22. If foundation test borings are necessary; it shall be noted in the document. Geotechnical work is approved
under General 401 Certification Number 3883/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey Activities.
23. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
24. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures
from the most current version of the NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as
sandbags,rock berms,cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in
flowing water.
25. While the use of National Wetland Inventory(NWI)maps,NC Coastal Region Evaluation of Wetland
Significance(NC-CREWS)maps and soil survey maps are useful tools,their inherent inaccuracies require
that qualified personnel perform onsite wetland delineations prior to permit approval.
26. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams. This equipment shall be
inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,lubricants,
hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
27. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
28. Riparian vegetation(native trees and shrubs)shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible. Riparian
vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
The NCDWR appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on your project. Should you have any questions or
require any additional information,please contact Rob Ridings at 919-707-3873.

DATE: July 16, 2019
SUBJECT: Review: SW 19-0268 —Nash County (Environmental Assessment/FONSI —NCDOT
- Proposed project is for the improvements to Eastern Avenue and N. Old Carriage Road)
The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section (Section) has reviewed the EA/FONSI
documents for the subject project in Nash County, NC. Based on the information provided in
these documents, the Section at this time does not see an adverse impact on the surrounding
communities and likewise knows of no situations in the communities, which would affect this
project.
As always for any planned or proposed projects, it is recommended that during any land clearing,
demolition and construction, the NCDOT and/or its contractors would make every feasible effort
to minimize the generation of waste, to recycle materials for which viable markets exist, and to
use recycled products and materials in the development of this project where suitable. Any waste
generated by and of the projects that cannot be beneficially reused or recycled must be
disposed of at a solid waste management facility permitted by the Division. The Section
strongly recommends that NCDOT require all contractors to provide proof of proper
disposal for all generated waste to permitted facilities.
Permitted solid waste management facilities are listed on the Division of Waste Management,

As requested by the North Carolina State Clearinghouse, the North Carolina Department of
Public Safety Division of Emergency Management Risk Management reviewed the
Environmental Assessment / Finding of No Significant Impact for STIP R-5720 and U-5996,
Nash County. We offer the following comment:
The proposed project includes encroachment within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) of
Stony Creek. Please refer to the North Carolina Flood Risk Information System and Flood
Insurance Rate Map Panel 3821. North Carolina Executive Order 123 directs NCDOT to
coordinate with and follow the FHWA floodplain management requirements which are found in
the Federal Executive Order 11988. To ensure NCDOT compliance with EO 11988 and 44 CFR
the NCDOT Hydraulics Section and the NC Floodplain Mapping Program have a Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA). Please coordinate with NCDOT Hydraulics to determine if the proposed
encroachments and crossings within this project are eligible to fall within the MOA.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have any questions concerning the
above comments, please contact me at [phone], by email at dan.brubakernancdps.gov or
at the address shown on the footer of this document.
Sincerely,
