SUBJECT: Rockingham County, Extension of Box Culvert with 48" RCP and Upgrade Existing
Pipes at the Intersection of Washington Street (SR 1604) and Henry Street in Eden.
W.O.# 9.8072240
To Whom It May Concern:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to extend a box culvert with
a 48" RCP and upgrade existing pipes. This activity will result in the placement of new fill and
dewatering. The NCDOT anticipates that the proposed filling activities will be authorized under
Nationwide Permit 3 and the dewatering operations will be authorized under NWP 33. This
application is intended as a request for formal written authorization from the USACE to place new
fill in the stream under NWP 3; and dewater the stream under NWP 33. This application is also
intended to provide a courtesy copy to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. The
following information is being provided to satisfy Nationwide Permit Condition 13 (Federal
Register January 15, 2002).

Impacts (ft.) 50'-enclosure; 10'-rip-rap dissipaters; I0'-temporary
Temporary Temporary impacts include the placement of cofferdams to dewater the
Impacts channel and silt screens to prevent incidental sediment loss. Temporary
impacts will be contained within the confines of the rip-rap dissipaters.
Restoration Within 15 working days of the activity all temporary structures (cofferdams
Plan and silt screens) will be entirely removed and natural stream contours will be
restored and seeded.
Special None
Conditions
RCP = reinforced concrete pipe; CMP = Corrugated metal pipe; CMPA = Corrugated metal pipe arch; E/C =
Erosion control. *A less intrusive dewatering device may be used in lieu of the one proposed.
MINIMIZATION INFORMATION
Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of
surface waters and wetlands, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of
the US, and coordination with the Division Environmental Officer.

MITIGATION INFORMATION
Stream mitigation is not anticipated, as the impacts to any individual stream do not exceed 150 feet.
This project is scheduled for review at SHPO "Effects" meeting.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): Not Applicable
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
Culvert extension and pipe upgrades are necessary to control flooding of roadway and nearby
structures. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for
the protection of surface waters equipment staging restrictions and coordination with 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
littp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. Tile 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 plan is not provided
Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet The maximum amount of impact to a single
stream is 50' 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
(919) 733-5208 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.ne.us/wrp/index.litm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Not Applicable
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Not Applicable
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): Not Applicable

(federal/state) land?
Yes ® No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes [:] No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
