Dear Mr. Pettyjohn:
WETLANDS/ 401 GROUP
SEP 2 2 2004
WATER QUALITY SECTION
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur the following impacts
in order to pave, increase lane width and improve traffic safety on SR 1717 (Georgia Rd) in Yadkin County.
• 30 linear feet of new piping impacts to Roby Creek (10 feet of new pipe and 20 feet of rip-rap);
• Temporary dewatering impacts of approximately 900 square feet.
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 16, 2004 (received August 18, 2004).
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 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.

Page 2
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 completion of 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 double barrel culvert at station 42+70 should be installed so that one barrel is buried one foot into the
streambed and the second barrel is placed at the active floodplain bench elevation to receive stormwater flows.
The barrel receiving base flow should be located along the existing active stream alignment. Disturbed active
floodplain benches should be reconnected to the stormwater barrel.
8. 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.
9. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.

14. 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.
15. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to preexisting conditions unless more natural geomorphic conditions
can be provided.
16. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
17. 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 40l 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 336-771-4600 extension 287 or at [e-mail].

The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base and pave SR 1717,
Georgia Road in Yadkin County. The roadway width will be increased from 16' to 20'. Total
project length is approximately 1.16 miles. Impervious surface area will increase by 0.56 acres.
This project will require the replacement of one (1) wet pipe as shown below:
Station Number Existing Pipe
Size Proposed Pipe
Size Riprap
Impacts feet Total impact at

42+70* 40'x 84" (2 103"x 71"x 50' 20 30

Total Stream I mpacts = 30 feet
* Please note that one of the proposed barrels will be isolated to carry stormwater only.
The replacement of the deteriorating pipe with the proposed new pipe will require temporary
dewatering. An impervious sandbag dike will be constructed approximately 20 feet upstream of
the existing culvert 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 900 square feet or 0.02
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 Yadkin
River Basin. The wet pipe at station 42+70 carries Roby Creek (Class: WS-IV). This project
was reviewed for the presence of threatened and endangered species on August 9, 2004. This
project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal species. The State
Historic Preservation Office has signed a concurrence form stating that no historic properties will
be impacted by the proposed project.
The project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality
uses. The replacement pipe size is 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, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of this application package to John
Hennessy, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, for his 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.

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 existing roadway is scheduled for widening to increase public safety. The existing crossing
must be replaced to accomplish this task. By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in
the attached drawings, adverse impacts to streams in the area will be minimized The
replacement pipe length is the minimum needed to construct the widened 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
