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. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the brook and brown
trout spawning season from October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site
sedimentation during construction.
5. NCDOT shall comply with any conditions or moratoriums requested by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
6. NCDOT is encouraged to use onsite vegetation and materials for streambank stabilization when practicable.
7. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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 stream depth. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored
to natural geomorphic conditions.
12. Any riprap used must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
13. If concrete is used, work must be accomplished so the wet concrete does not contact the stream water. This will
lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
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. 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.
17. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
18. 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.

Project Number: 11C.095057 (DWQ Permit Fee: $475)
Dear Mr. Thomas:
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base and pave SR 1131B,
Oliver Hill Road in Watauga County. Total project length is approximately 1.4 miles. The
roadway will be widened from 16 feet to 20 feet. Impervious surface area will increase by 0.68
acres. This project will require the replacement of two (2) wet pipes, the addition of one (1) wet
pipe and the replacement of one (1) bridge as shown below:

The replacement of Bridge #143 at station 68+31 with the proposed pipes will require temporary
dewatering. An impervious sandbag dike will be constructed approximately 20 feet upstream of
the existing bridge to create a small pool. Clean water will temporarily be pumped around the
construction area and will be discharged into a buffer area located approximately 90 feet
downstream of the sandbag dike. Any dirty water located inside the construction area will be
pumped into a silt bag. The dewatered area will total approximately 540 square feet or 0.012
acres. Once the new structure is in place, the impervious dike will be removed and
preconstruction streambed elevations will be restored.
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Watauga
River Basin. The wet pipes at stations 3+50, 9+25 and 12+60 carry different unnamed tributaries
to Laurel Creek (Class: C, Trout). Bridge #143 at station 68+31 crosses Craborchard Creek
(Class: C, Trout).
This project was reviewed for the presence of threatened and endangered species on December
31, 2003. This project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal
species. The NCDOT Historical Architecture Section has reviewed this project and determined
that there are no NR/SL/DOE properties along this roadway that will be impacted by the
proposed project.
The project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality
uses. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. By utilizing the
erosion control measures outlined in the attachments to this application, downstream water
quality standards will be protected. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets with proposed erosion control
measures, a marked county map, a marked topography map and photographs.
By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me. Please note that a trout buffer variance
will be requested for ground disturbance within the 25-foot buffer zone of UTs to Laurel Creek
and Craborchard Creek from survey stations 9+35 - 15+00 (Rt.) and 64+50 - 68+31 (Rt.).
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of this application package to Cynthia
Van Der Wiele, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, for her review. It is
requested that any comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to me with a
copy sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please
let me know. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.

downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usgs.gov. Several Internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com
ww w.mapquest.eom, etc.).

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not umuea to: nii, excavation, areugmg,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
4. Pond Creation
if construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings adverse impacts to
streams in the area will be minimized Since this is an existing roadway, the stream nnpacts
cannot be avoided However, the replacement?ipe lengths will be the minimum needed to
safely construct the paved roadway. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction.

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.
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/strmgide.html.
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
Page 8 of 12
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 theNCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP 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 401/Wetlands 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 hqp://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 following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

PIPE INSTALLATION
1. Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screens will be used and installed prior to pipe replacement or any
work being done to channel.
2. Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or
escaping from project.
3. Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering a stream and/or
escaping from project. Where possible, new grade will be below
existing stream bed. If needed, bedding material will be clean stone.
4. Place the new pipe and compact backfilL
5. Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also
complete installation of erosion control measures and perform
maintenance as needed on existing measure.
6. Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
7. Remove rock silt screens as soon as possible after vegetation is
established. Prior to removal of rock silt screens any accumulated silt
must be removed.
GENERAL NOTES ON EROSION CONTROL
Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to the dimension of six feet by three
feet by three feet unless otherwise noted on the plans.
Where slope protection treatment is required, Section 868 and Section 1042 of
the 1990 Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures will be followed.
Any material obtained from the project must be clean before being placed.
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures Till be as
f0110ws:
Temporary Silt Basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt Fences and Temporary Silt Ditches shall be installed after
clearing and before grading-
Tempo Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as soon as
ditchlestablished.
Pipe Outlet and Inlet Protection will be done as soon as the pipe
is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be
implemented as soon as practical.
