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. VU1, 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 wetland: or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to pt=-nnial 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. Exmuples 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 h-ach 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 s required Litigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review die cur=t guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Gidde for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at ihttp.lili2o enr state nc.us/ncwctlandslstnrmide.litml. 1.

SECRETARY ?G Subject: Request for a NW 33 and a courtesy NW 3 for dewatering and pipe replacements on SR 1001 (Wakelon Road) in Bertie County. This is a request from the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a NW 33 and a courtesy NW 3 permit for the dewatering and pipe replacements on SR 1001 (Wakelon Road) in Bertie County. Currently, there are four failing pipes 45' x 36" RCP and six failing pipes 45' X 48" CMP that NCDOT would like to replace with five 50' x 87" x 63" CAPA. These pipes will have headwalls on the upstream and downstream side along with 9' wing walls on all four corners. NCDOT would also like to install one 50' x 48" CMP to be used as a diversion pipe just south of the proposed pipe replacements on SR 1001. NCDOT would like to leave the pipe in place when all work is completed. The dewatering of this area will allow for dry installation of the pipes. The widening of this road will ensure safer travel. Permit drawings, a site location map, and both PCN forms are included in this letter.

EASLEY GOVERNOR March 14, 2005 Division of Water Quality 401/Wetlands Unit 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1650 Attention: Nicole Thomson ?l qy ?p os o LYNDO TIPPI SECRETARY Subject: Request for a NW 3 for dewatering and pipe replacements on SR 1001 (Wakelon Road) in Bertie County. This is a request from the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a NW 3 permit for the pipe replacements on SR 1001 (Wakelon Road) in Bertie County. Currently, there are four failing pipes 45'x 36" RCP and six failing pipes 45'X 48" CMP that NCDOT would like to replace with five 50'x 87" x 63" CAPA. These pipes will have headwalls on the upstream and downstream side along with 9' wing walls on all four corners. NCDOT would also like to install one 50' x 48" CMP to be used as a diversion pipe just south of the proposed pipe replacements on SR 1001. NCDOT would like to leave the pipe in place when all work is completed. The dewatering of this area will allow for dry installation of the pipes. The widening of this road will ensure safer travel. I have recently sent this permit application to you but have learned that this area is an anadromous and resident fish spawning area with an in-water work moratorium from February 15`h - June 30`h. Therefore, NCDOT is requesting 0.009 acres of riverine swamp to be mitigated by the North Carolina Ecosysten Enhancement Program. Please include this correct PCN form in the previous application package included in this letter. If you need any additional information or have any questions concerning this project please call me at 252-482-7977. Thank You.

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. Impacts were minimized by choosing the shortest pipes possible while still allowing adequate water flow and wide shoulders for safe travel. 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 Page 7 of 12 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://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htni1. 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. NCDOT is requesting 0.009 acres from the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program to compensate for the unavoidable impacts. 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 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htni.
