Subject: Pre-Construction Notification Application
Request for 401 Water Quality Certification
Proposed Borrow Site #1 - Howerton Road
Alamance County, North Carolina
ECS Project 09.19179A
Dear Ms. Karoly: ,

BRANCH
Please find five copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application for the above referenced
site. The site is located on Howerton Road in Alamance County. The site consists of an
approximate 57 acre tract of land that contains pasture land and wooded land. Approximately
41.81 acres of the site are being evaluated for use as a borrow site. In order for the area to be
used as a borrow site, a temporary haul road must be constructed that will impact 98 linear feet
of stream channel. Wetlands will not be impacted by the proposed project.
This project is required as part of NCDOT Contract No. C202557, SR 1311 Widening and
Extension. The NCDENR Division of Water Quality previously issued a 401 Water Quality
Certification for the NCDOT project (Dated May 25, 2010, NCDWQ Project No. 20100168). On
behalf of Thompson Arthur Paving Company, I am requesting that a 401 Water Quality
Certification be issued to authorize the temporary impact to 98 linear feet of stream channel.
There are no other stream or wetland impacts associated with the borrow pit project. Mitigation
is not proposed as part of this project. A reclamation plan is being prepared for the borrow site
by a Level II certified individual to NCDOT standards. The NCDOT Project completion date is
June 15, 2013.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions concerning this
request or if additional information is required. Thank you in advance for your timely
consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
ECS Carolinas, LLP

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
An existing pond and associated dam is located on the site. The current property owners do not want heavy equipment
crossing the dam in fear that it will jeopardize the integrity of the dam or associated outlet structure. Therefore, it is necessary
to construct a temporary access road that will temporarily impact a stream.
ECS performed a wetland determination on the site to determine the best location for the stream crossing. Areas located
upgradient of the pond, between the headwaters of the pond and the site boundary, contain streams and wetlands and were
determined to be unsuitable. The area located immediately downgradient of the pond dam was selected because the stream
is relatively straight and there are no wetlands that will be impacted. Wetlands are located further downgradient, making the
downgradienfarea unsuitable. In addition, the stream meanders and the amount of buffer that would be impacted increases.
Avoidance and minimization were the considerations used to select the stream crossing location.
Ib. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The construction sequence has been designed to clear the vegetation from Howerton Road to the stream; grade the haul road
and side ditches with check dams; place gravel on the haul road; construct temporary diversion channels to divert existing
runoff; install 36" corrugated metal pipe and backfll pipe; redirect water through pipe; continue to clear, grade and gravel haul
road to cleared area; and, seed and mulch all bare areas, shoulders and side slopes. The haul road has been designed to
have minimum impact on water quality. Upon completion of the proposed project, the stream channel will be restored to its
existing conditions and the pipe will be removed.

? Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
ECS consulted the Natural Heritage Program Website to determine if Federally Protected Endangered or Threatened
species inhabit the site quadrangle. The site is located on the Ossippee, NC Quadrangle. The Gibsonville, NC
Quadrangle borders the site quadrangle to the south. The Small Whorled Pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) is a federally
protected threatened species that has been identified on the Ossipee, NC Quadrangle. This species inhabits forests,
especially white pine forests. We did not observe this species or potential habitat for this species on the site. There are
no other federally protected endangered or threatened species that have been identified on these quadrangles. Based
on our knowledge of the site, the project will not impact endangered species or designated critical habitat.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ? Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
We did not observe fish in the stream during our site reconnaissance. The portion of stream to be temporarily impacted is
located immediately down gradient of a pond dam. Upstream migration for most aquatic species, including fish, has been
compromised by the pond damn and associated outlet structure. The NCDENR has classified the stream on the site as WS-
V; nutrient sensitive waters. The Endangered Species List does not identify protected species that inhabit waterbodies near
the site. Based on our knowledge of the site, the project does not occur in or near an area designated as essential fish
habitat.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation ? Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
We contacted the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to determine if the site is located in or near an area that the
state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status. The SHPO issued
a response dated December 20, 2010 indicating that they have no comment on the project as proposed. A copy of the
SHPO response is included as an attachment.
There are no structures located on the site that could be considered for historical preservation status. ECS personnel
have visited and walked the site in conjunction with an environmental assessment. We have not observed artifacts on the
site. To the best of our knowledge, the site and adjoining properties are not designated as having historic or cultural
preservation status.

' For purposes of this form. an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g.. typically 3 months).
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.I and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section 111.D.1.: otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically Dmv year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g, typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) Dow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW'. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume. duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section IILD:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TN Ws. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section IILD: The wetland is connected to the stream by a ditch.

Proposed Borrow Site #1 - Howerton Road
Alamance County, North Carolina
NCDOT Contract No. C202557
ECS Project 09-19179
Dear Mr. Cagle:
ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) is pleased to submit this report of the jurisdictional waters/wetland
determination/endangered species survey for the site located west of Howerton Road in
Alamance County, North Carolina. This report summarizes our findings for the site.
Background
ECS was contracted to determine if waters of the U.S. (including wetlands) or endangered
species are present on the site located west of Howerton Road in Alamance County, North
Carolina (Figure 1). The proposed borrow pit contains undeveloped pasture land. The borrow
pit is approximately 41.81 acres in area based on GPS measurements. In order to access the
proposed borrow pit, a road must be constructed through a wooded area that is located down-
gradient of an existing pond dam. ECS was contracted to determine if wetlands or endangered
species are located on the site.
Wetlands are defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency as "those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or
groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances,
do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions." In
order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland
hydrology indicators must be present.
Literature Review
We have reviewed the USGS Topographic Map and the Soil Survey of Alamance County for
the site.
The USGS Topographic Map (Figure 1) does not identify surface waters or wetlands in the
location of the proposed borrow pit. The map identifies unnamed tributaries to Travis Creek
located approximately 100 feet east and west of the pit. One of the streams is located in the
area that must be crossed to access the borrow pit. Other surface waters or wetlands are not

depicted within 500 feet of the site. Elevations on the site range from approximately 670 to
approximately 620 feet above mean sea level.
• The Soil Survey of Alamance County (Figure 2) shows soils on the site have been mapped as
Appling coarse sandy loam (AbC and AbC2), Appling sandy loam (AdB2), Helena clay loam
(HaC3), Helena coarse sandy loam (HbC, HbB2 and HbC2), mixed alluvial land (Mc), Vance
clay loam (VbC3), Vance sandy loam (VcB2 and VcC2) and Worsham sandy loam (Wd). The
Appling series consists of well drained, moderately permeable soils that occur on ridges and
side slopes. The Helena series consists of moderately well drained, slowly permeable soils
that occur on broad ridges and toeslopes. Mixed alluvial land consists of poorly drained
material that has accumulated from sediment has accumulated as a result of being washed
from uplands. The material varies so much that any texture and soil properties may be
present. The Vance series consists of well drained, slowly permeable soils that occur on
gently sloping narrow and broad ridges and sloping to moderately steep side slopes. The
Worsham series consists of poorly drained, very slowly permeable soils that occur in
depressions, at the heads of drains, at the base of slopes, and on upland flats. Worsham
sandy loam (Wd) and mixed alluvial land (Mc) are identified on the Hydric Soils List for
Alamance County as being hydric or as having hydric inclusions as a major component. The
other soils on the site are not identified on the Hydric Soils List for Alamance County.
Site Reconnaissance
ECS personnel conducted the site visit on November 8, 2010.. The proposed borrow pit
contains undeveloped pasture land. The borrow pit is approximately 41.81 acres in area based
on GPS measurements. In order to access the proposed borrow pit, a road must be
constructed through a wooded area that is located down-gradient of an existing pond dam.
Figure 3 shows the borrow pit corners as located with a Trimble GPS unit.
During our reconnaissance, we observed the site for evidence of stream channels, wetlands
and ponds. There are no streams, ponds or wetlands located in the proposed pit. The soils are
bright and well drained. There is no evidence of groundwater discharge in the proposed borrow
site. A Routine Wetland Determination Data Form containing field observations at the lowest
lying area of the proposed borrow pit that supports our opinion is included as an Attachment.
ECS also observed the proposed access road corridor. A stream is located at the base of an
existing pond dam that will need to be crossed. ECS flagged the centerline of the stream. The
flags are currently being surveyed and a temporary road crossing is being designed. ECS will
prepare and submit a permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the North
Carolina Division of Wafer Quality for the proposed road crossing.
We also observed adjoining properties during our site reconnaissance. Adjoining properties
contain undeveloped, wooded land, fields, Howerton Road and scattered residential structures.
A pond, a stream and associated wetlands are located approximately 100 feet and more east of
the site. A stream is located approximately 100 feet and more west of the site. ECS used a
GPS to locate the pond, streams and wetlands. Based on conversations with Thompson-Arthur
Paving Co. personnel, a 100 foot undisturbed buffer will be left between the borrow pit and the
nearby pond, streams and wetlands, with the exception of the construction of the temporary

access road. Figure 3 shows the nearby pond, streams and wetlands as located with a Trimble
GPS unit. We did not observe other streams or wetlands within 500 feet of the borrow site.
Catch basins and erosion control fencing will be used to prevent impacts to the off-site pond,
streams and wetlands. A reclamation plan is currently being designed for the site. Based on
our observations, the proposed project will not impact off-site streams, ponds or wetlands.
Endangered Species Survey
We have reviewed the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program list for federally listed
threatened and endangered species that have been identified on the Ossipee, NC Quadrangle
(the quadrangle that contains the site) and the Gibsonville, NC Quadrangle (the quadrangle that
borders the site quadrangle to the south).
• Small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) is a federally listed threatened species that
has been identified on the Ossipee, NC Quadrangle. This vascular plant inhabits forests,
especially white pine forests. We did not observe this species or suitable habitat for this
species on the site.
No other federally listed threatened and endangered species have been identified on the
aforementioned quadrangles. Based on our observations and to the best of our knowledge, the
proposed project will not impact federally protected species or areas that may be considered
potential habitat for federally protected species.
State Historic Preservation Office (SHPOI
ECS submitted a request to SHPO on November 9, 2010 to determine if they are aware of
historic resources that could be affected by the project. The SHPO response will be mailed to
Mr. Larry Cagle with Thompson-Arthur Paving Co.
Watershed Classification/Buffer Requirements
Unnamed tributaries to Travis Creek are located on adjacent properties east and west of the
site. According to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, the site is located in an area of
the Cape Fear River Basin that has been designated as WS-V; nutrient sensitive waters.
Water Table
The project will consist of borrowing material from a ridge and leveling it consistent with existing
topography of the undisturbed buffers that will be left around the perimeter of the borrow pit.
There will be no dewatering, mining or excavating below the seasonal high water table or
nearby streams or wetlands. Therefore, the existing water table will not be impacted by the
proposed project.

Recommendations
The site is being evaluated for use as a borrow pit. A road will be constructed to provide
access to the proposed borrow pit that will cross a stream. Based on conversations with
Thompson-Arthur Paving Co. personnel, the access road will require that a culvert be
temporarily placed into the stream channel. Upon completion of the proposed project, the
culvert will be removed, the grade will be restored and the area will be re-vegetated. Based on
conversations with Mr. Andy Williams, this activity can be authorized with a Nationwide Permit.
ECS is currently preparing the permit application. The culvert cannot be installed until a
Nationwide Permit has been issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Water Quality
Certification has been issued by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
Based on the findings of this study, it is our opinion that the project will not impact other
streams, wetlands or federally listed endangered or threatened species/associated habitat.
Best management practices, including the construction of catch basins and the use of erosion
control fencing, will be used to prevent sediment from running off the site and impacting off-site
streams and wetlands.
