DWQ Project No. 031086
Pipe Replacement on SR1506 (Powerline Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J.M. Mills, P.E., Division Engineer
NCDOT Division 7
P.O. Box 14996
Greensboro, NC 27415
Dear Mr. Mills:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 40 linear feet and to incur 70 linear feet of temporary impacts on an unnamed tributary to the Haw
River in order to replace two undersized pipes with one larger pipe on SR 1506 (Powerline Road) in
Alamance County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 20,
2003 (received August 23, 2003). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3366 and 3404 corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 33 and 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with
the accompanying 404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us, in writing, and send us 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if stream impacts exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be
valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions
listed below.
1. The impacted waters are classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters and are on the303(d) list of Impaired
Waters. Therefore, NCDOT shall use Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive
Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0124) and NCDOT shall use Best Management Practices for the
Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT March 1997) to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic
resources. Additionally, storm water shall be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and must not
be routed directly into streams unless the applicant provides evidence that this is not practicable or
feasible.
2. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of
ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control. Mowing of existing vegetated
buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm water diffuse flow.
3. All work shall be performed during low flow (below bankfull) conditions.
4. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to
prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. AM

5. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.
6. NCDOT is encouraged to use existing on-site vegetation and materials for stream bank stabilization
and to minimize the use of rip rap.
7. The pipes required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile is
not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below
locations of each culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to allow for fish and other wildlife
movement as well as prevent headcutting of the streams.
8. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If rip-rap is necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high water
mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water. Rip rap shall not be placed in
the stream bottom.
9. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock,
sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit,
except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts.
10. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project.
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 that conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Ms. Beth Barnes at 919.715.8394 or Mr. Daryl Lamb of
the Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336.771.4600.

SUBJECT: Alamance County, replacement of two undersized pipes with one larger pipe. State
Project Number 7B.200111
To Whom It May Concern:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace two undersized
pipes on Powerline Road (SR 1506) in Alamance County near Elon with one larger pipe. This
activity will result in impacts to a UT of Haw River. The NCDOT anticipates that the pipe
replacement activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and 33. This
application is intended as a request for written authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers
for the Nationwides 14 and 33. We are also requesting written authorization from NC Division of
Water Quality to replace pipes under General Water Quality Certification # 3404 (NWP 14)
and notification under #3366 (NWP 33). The following information is being provided to satisfy

VII. 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.
Pipe replacement activities are necessary to increase travel lane and shoulder width to current
construction standards and to eliminate periodic flooding due to the undersized pipes. Impacts
will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of
wetland and surface waters restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters
of the US and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division
Environmental Officer.
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.
Page 5 of 8
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
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http-.//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stn-ngide.html.
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.
A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated, therefore a mitigation elan is not provided.
Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet The maximum amount of impact to a single
stream is linear feet No Outstanding Resource Waters federally protected species or their
habitats or essential fishery habitats occur in the project area. The project is not located in a
High Quality Water.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
