You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 60 linear feet (If) of Hinton Creek* with riprap to stabilize the stream bank and provide protection to
bridge bents as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on October 27,
2004. Stream bank and bent stabilization is required due to erosion caused by recent storm events. The
location of the project is State Road 1376 (Hollis Road) in Cleveland County. After reviewing your application,
we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3399. This
certification corresponds to Nationwide Permit 13 issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE).
Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project,
including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water
Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the associated 404 permit unless otherwise
specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design that you described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and you may be required to 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, or if 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 remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification and those listed below:
1. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
2. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of
such BMP in order to protect surface water standards:
a. 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 pit sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
" No stream determination performed.

b. 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.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel, when possible, in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
4. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic
conditions can be provided.
5. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
6. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified.
Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
7. 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.
8. All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
9. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is prohibited.
10. 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 30 days after the Division of Land Resources has
released the project.
11. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and its contractors and/or agents shall not
excavate, fill or perform mechanized land clearing at any time in the construction or maintenance of this
project within waters and/or wetlands, except as authorized by this Certification, or any modification to this
Certification (e.g., no work shall occur outside of the footprint of the plans provided). In addition, there shall
be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
Certification without appropriate modification. If this occurs, compensatory mitigation may be required since it
is a direct impact from road construction activities.
12. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. Please
include photographs upstream and downstream of the structure to document correct installation.
13. Continuing Compliance. NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with state water quality
standards [including any requirements for compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act] and any
other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are
not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that state or federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and
modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and
requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify
NCDOT and the USACE, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide
opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall
be provided to NCDOT in writing, shall be provided to the USACE for reference in any permit issued pursuant
to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.

SUBJECT: Bank Stabilization under Bridge #206, SR 1376 (Hollis Road), Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests authorization to install riprap bank protection
under Bridge #206 on SR 1376 (Hollis Road) in Cleveland County which was washed out during the
storm events of September 26-27, 2004. The scope of the work will permanently impact 60 linear feet of
the jurisdictional waters associated with Hinton Creek, which is classified as Class C Waters by the
Division of Water Quality.
As shown on the attached riprap quantity estimate sheet, the riprap will not exceed an average of one
cubic yard per running foot below ordinary high water. In order to protect the bridge bents, the riprap
placement will extend into the stream channel; however it will not inhibit aquatic passage. Cross-sections
of the stream were surveyed at points -150 feet upstream and downstream of the bridge in order to
determine the "natural" channel dimensions. The bankfull width upstream and downstream of the bridge
is - 30 feet with an average bankfull depth of 2.5 feet. The bankfull width at the bridge is 37 feet with an
average bankfull depth of 1.3 feet. This appears to indicate the stream has become overwidened at the
bridge. For comparison, enclosed are photos taken in January 2001 during a bridge survey as well as
recent photos taken after last months high storm flows. These photos also reflect an increase in stream
width at the bridge. Therefore, it is believed that not only will the riprap placement protect the bridge
bents, but will also restore the section of stream under the bridge to its natural dimensions.
This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for this project and is recommending a finding of "no
effect" for T &E species and historical structures. The proposed project is not located within any
designated critical resources waters or NC-designated waters or wetlands and is not located within '/2 mile
of any critical watershed area. Hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the NCDOT
hazardous spill basin checklist.

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 integrity of the bridge must be maintained for the safety of the travelling public. Riprap is
needed on the embankment under the bridge and around the east bridge bents to provide
stability and to minimize future scour problems.
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 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/ncwetiands/strmgide.htmi.
Page 5 of 8
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.
