Division of Water Quality April 8, 2004 Cleveland County DWQ Project No. 040381 MA12003R SR 1001 (Fallston-Waco Road) APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Mr. M. L. Holder, P.E. WETLANDS 1401 GROUP Division Engineer N C Department of Transportation APR 1 9 20114 Post Office Box 47 Shelby, North Carolina 28151 WATER CIUAf.P T Dear Mr. Holder: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 140 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Buffalo Creek (130 linear feet of new pipe and 10 linear feet of riprap) and temporary dewatering of approximately 200 linear feet of stream, in order to make safety improvements to NCSR 1001 (Fallston-Waco Road) in Cleveland County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the application dated March 5, 2004 (received March 11, 2004), including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 33. In addition, you must 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 valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing 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, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) 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. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards: a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual. b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project. G-- For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual. 919 N. Main St., Mooresville, NC 28115 Telephone: 704/663-1699 Fax: 704/663-6040 Mr. M. L. Holder, P.E. April 8, 2004 Page Two d. Any reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. 2. No wastes, spoil, solids or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. 3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Quality has released the project. 4. Please note that this stream is classified as WS-III waters. 5. NCDOT will provide 1000 linear feet of riparian reforestation (500 linear feet upstream and 500 linear feet downstream of the culverts) to provide streambank stability and stream shading. 6. Removal of vegetation at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams should be minimized. Native trees and shrubs (e.g. Rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be planted along the streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control in the vicinity of the road crossing and along the streams within dedicated rights of way. 7. NCDOT shall comply with any conditions or moratoriums requested by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission. 8. Where fish passage is present or where significant aquatic life may be present upstream (and where practicable), culverts should be oversized and buried to prevent perched culverts. If oversized piping cannot restore aquatic life passage by reconnecting the stream ecosystem, riprap installation should be accomplished in a manner to provide or restore water channels downstream to help facilitate aquatic life movement. 9. Where practicable, culverts that are less than 48-inches in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of their size to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inches in diameter or larger should be buried at least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. These measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible. All waters must flow though without freefalling or damming on either side of the culverts during low flow conditions, to maintain aquatic life and /or fish passage. 10. The riprap used for temporary fill must be clean rock and free of fines. All of this material must be removed by the completion of the project. 11. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 12. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater sheet flow. 13. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the streambank below the high water mark, and vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water elevation. 14. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. 15. 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. 16. Excavation of the stream crossings and relocations should be conducted in the dry, if possible. Sandbags, cofferdams, flexible pipe or other diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in flowing water. 17. If concrete is used during bridge construction (e.g., headwalls, piers), a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured cona6te should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for fish kills. 18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is strictly prohibited. Mr. Mike Holder, P.E. April 8, 2004 Page Three 19. 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. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life and disturbance of the natural form of the stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possible affecting other landowners. 20. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions. 21. 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. NCDOT is strongly advised to send in photographs upstream and downstream of each structure to document correct installation. 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, which 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 Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500. Sincerely, , Q /e. Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

STATE of NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MICHAEL F. EASLEY GOVERNOR MAR t 1 70O4 • 11 1•i ? A. ? J LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY PO BOX 47, SHELBY, NC 28151 March 5, 2004 Mr. Steve Lund US Army Corps of Engineers 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 " " Asheville, NC 28801-5006 Subject: Nationwide Permit #14, #33 SR 1001, Section of Fallston-Waco Road Realignment/Pipe placement Cleveland County, NC Dear Mr. Lund: The realignment and widening of Fallston-Waco Road, SR 1001 from SR 1905 to around Bridge #155, which was originally constructed 1960, is an NCDOT Moving Ahead project. The curvature of the road in this area is extremely dangerous with numerous accidents occurring on this section of SR 1001; therefore, the road realignment and intersection improvements are being done to improve safety under the Moving Ahead initiative. The realignment of the road results in the realignment of a stream crosspipe; therefore, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes this project for your issuance of a Section 404 Permit. We believe this project can be accomplished under NWP # 14, Linear Transportation Crossing and NWP #33, Temporary Construction, Access and Dewatering. It is proposed that the existing 50 foot, 72"x 43"pipe on the existing road alignment be removed and a double line of pipes on the new road alignment be installed. The double lines would consist of a 180-foot, 54" main flow pipe and a 170-foot, 48" pipe flood flow pipe. The flood flow pipe will be offset so as to allow the main stream flow through only one pipe. The proposed pipe on the new road alignment will be installed adjacent to the existing pipe on a skew; therefore, there is 130 feet of additional stream fill. Five feet of ?e Mr. Steve Lund Page 2- SR1001 Road Realignment, Cleveland County March 5, 2004 riprap will be utilized at the inlet and outlet of the new pipes to provide structure stabilization. Floodplain benches will be constructed at the inlet and outlet of the flood flow pipe to direct baseflow through the main pipe as well as to maintain channel dimensions. A stream profile was established by measuring the thalweg elevations at various points upstream and downstream of the proposed pipe. The main flow pipe will be buried one foot below the existing streambed elevation based upon this established profile. The proposed pipe slope has been calculated to be 1.9%; therefore, stream destabilization is not anticipated. Streambank reforestation is proposed on both banks of the unnamed tributary for -500 feet upstream and downstream of the proposed pipe. Enclosed is a streambank reforestation typical detailing the type and spacing of the tree species to be planted. Temporary cofferdams/pump around will be used to isolate the work area during the installation of the pipe. Upon project completion, the cofferdams will be removed and the area impacted will be restored to pre-construction conditions. I have enclosed a PCN application, a sketch of planned activities- including a preliminary erosion control plan for the permitted area, and location maps relative to the project. The stream impacted by the proposed project is an unnamed tributary to Buffalo Creek, which is classified WS-III watershed. Based upon the "Guidelines for the Location and Design of Hazardous Spill Basins", which are referenced in DOT's Best Mans eg merit Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters, the applicable locations for the placement of hazardous spill basins are at stream crossings on highways functionally classified as rural or urban arterials and where the stream crossing is within '/s mile of the critical area. SR 1001 is functionally classified a rural arterial; however, the project is not located within '/s mile of the critical watershed area. Hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist for this project. A review of the Natural Heritage information for the threatened species listed for Cleveland County, the dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora) revealed no known sites in the vicinity of the proposed project. An on-site survey was conducted for the heartleaf species in the project area on May 12, 2003. None were observed. No effect on this species is anticipated. A review of the available information from the National Register of Historic Places was also conducted. It is anticipated that no historic site will be impacted by the proposed project. Your earliest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions, please call me at 704-480-9020.

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. The proposed road realignment of a section of SR 1001 and impacts to the UT to Buffalo Creek is necessary to provide intersection safety improvements at SR 1908, The proposed double pipe is being designed to provide main flow through a 54" pipe while flood flow opacity will be provided by a parallel 48" pipe which will be offset from the main flow pipe A floodplain bench is to be constructed at the inlet and outlet of the 48" pipe to maintain channel dimensions and to direct the stream flow to the main flow 54" pipe Streambank reforestation is proposed on the both banks approximately 500 feet upstream and downstream of the proposed pipe to provide stream stability During constructiom upstream and downstream tempgary impervious cofferdams will be used to isolate the stream flow from the proposed work area The stream flow will be piped/pumped around the new pipe installation work area from above the upstream cofferdam to below the downstream cofferdam VIIL 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. 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 Page 5 of 8 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/strtngide.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 (acreagellinear 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. THE PROPOSED PIPE LENGTH ON THE NEW ALIGNMENT IS 180 FT. THE EXISTING 50 FT PIPE IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE ALIGNMENT OF THE NEW PIPE; THEREFORE, THERE IS ONLY 130 FEET OF ADDITIONAL FILL IMPACTS (THE EXISTING ROAD WAS CONSTRUCTED 1960). AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER TO PROVIDE STREAMBANK REFORESTATION -500 FEET UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM OF THE PROPOSED PIPE TO PROVIDE STREAMBANK STABILITY AND STREAM SHADING. 2.
