Dear Mr. Johnson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 32
linear feet to two different unnamed tributaries to Mount Pleasant Creek (32 feet of pipe including (4)
flared end sections) in order to improve and widen SR 2481 (Low Bridge Rd) in Randolph County. The
project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 7, 2004 (received May 12,
2004).
After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification No. 3404, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number
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 valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the Division of Water Quality (Division) and
submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval
letter and certifications, 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 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 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.
c. 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.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
2. No waste, 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 Resources has released the project.
4. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.
5. 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.
6. Where practicable, culverts that are less than 48-inch 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-inch 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 through without freefalling
or damming on either end of the culverts during low flow conditions, to maintain aquatic life and/or
fish passage.
7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified
by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
8. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
9. 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. Any rip-rap used must not
interfere with aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
10. If concrete is used, work must be accomplished so the wet concrete does not contact the stream water.
. This will lessen the change of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
11. 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.
12. 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.

13. 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.
14. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to preexisting conditions unless more natural
geomorphic conditions can be provided.
15. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
16. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of
Completion Form" to notify DWQ 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 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, 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 contact Sue Homewood at 336-7714600 extension 252 or
[e-mail].

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, miti;ation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
Page 9 of 12
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/strrnQide.htm1.
1. 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.
N/A
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCNVRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401AVetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hap:/ni2o.enr.st ite.nc.ush-,-miindex.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:

Mr. Spencer:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Highway Division 8 is requesting Nationwide
Permit Number 14 for project 8C.076066 on SR-2481 (Low Bridge Rd.) in Randolph County.
The proposed project will replace an existing deficient crossing pipe as follows:
Site 1) Replace existing 56'x 36" RCP with one 52'x 48"RCP and 2 FES
Site 2) Replace existing 48'x 36" RCP with one 52'x 42"RCP and 2 FES
Note: Total length for each site is 68'(including the FES)
The total percentage of impervious surface within the project area will remain at less than 30%.
All erosion control devices will be appropriate to the location and in compliance with the current
version of the NCDOT Best Management Practices manual.
There are no wetlands or High Quality Waters within the project areas.. The pipe replacement is
located on an UT of Mount Pleasant Creek a class WS-III stream in the Cape Fear River Basin.
Due to the amount of anticipated flow, no dewatering will be required at this site. Construction
will be done under dry conditions whenever possible. There were no threatened or endangered
species observed within the project area during the required minimum criteria check. All detours
will be done off site using local state roads.
If you require any additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely, PAY?Ial7
