Dear Sir:
Subject: Notification for Nationwide Permit 14 (Minor Road Crossing)
NCDENR 401 WQC 3404
Culvert Replacement SR-1714 (Allen-Priest Rd.) (Bladen County)
State Project Number: 6C.009036
SECRETARY
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has scheduled to grade, drain, base
and pave SR-1714, in Bladen County. Total project length is 2.32 miles. The roadway will be
widened from 16 feet to 20 feet and stabilized grass shoulders (6 foot) will be provided. This
project will require the replacement of three (3) wet cross lines as shown below:
Crossing Roadway Station Existing Culvert Proposed Culvert

Crossing #1 Sta 73+50 28 LF 18" RCP 50 LF 24" RCP
Crossing #2 Sta 93+50 40 LF 36" RCP 50 LF 48" RCP
Crossing #3 Sta 98+80 40 LF 24" CMP 50 LF 30" RCP
New stream impacts =42 linear feet
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Cape Fear
River Basin. Crossings will convey an UT to Whites Creek (Class C) within the 0303005HU.
Culvert #1 conveys drainage from a forested wetland located upslope of the road. While the
upstream wetland will not be affected by the proposed improvements, downstream the
improvements will impact 0.01 acres of wetlands. Throughout this area, mounds of sidecast from
previous cleanouts were observed. The sidecast will be removed as part of this project. Joint
failure and end section damage neccesitate pipe replacement along with safety concerns. The

t;.
s
P. O. Box 1150, Fayetteville, NC 28302-1150 - Telephone [phone]- Fax [phone]
existing culvert is a 28 LF 15" RCP that is undersized and lacks sufficent length. A 50 LF 24"
RCP will be installed in the same location. Pipe burial will be 20% (5 inches).
Culvert #2 picks up drainage from a forested/agricultural area. In addition, runoff from the
north side of SR-1717 is directed toward this culvert. The existing 40 LF 36" RCP will be
removed and a 50 LF 48" RCP will be installed. Though the pipe will be buried one foot below
the invert of the stream, it will provide greater conveyance than the exisiting culvert.
Culvert #3 conveys flows from the south side of SR-1717, which is comprised of
forested/agricultural area. At this location, jurisdictional wetlands were identified along the edge
of the maintained right-of-way. Spoil piles line the road way especially at the culvert. All spoil
will be removed from outside the proposed road footprint. A 50 LF 30" RCP will be installed
with a 5 inch bury.
It was noted that there is a twin 72" CMP culvert crossing of Whites Creek at station 31+20. This
crossing was installed several years ago and is in very good condition. The culvert has good
conveyance characteristics and provides adequate road shoulder. No improvemetns to this
structure are proposed.
As a side note, NCDOT Roadside Environmental does have a monitoring gauge just downstream
of the twin culverts in Whites Creek. They will monitor the effects of the road improvements
throughout the construction period.
RESOURCE STATUS
In general, there will be minor impacts proposed as a result of culvert replacement along SR-
1714, in Bladen County. Fourty-two (42) linear feet of stream impacts are expected and 0.04
acres of wetland impacts. A Nationwide Permit #14 / NCDENR 401 WQC 3404 is required for
the project.
Endangered Species: Plants and animals with Federal classification of Endangered (E) or
Threatened (T) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of January 29, 2003, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
lists three federally protected species for Bladen County.
Federally Protected Species for Bladen County
SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS
Alligator mississippiensis American alligator T(S/A)
Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker E
Lindera melissifolia Pondberry E
Lysimachia asperulaefolia Rough-leaved
loosestrife E
Schwalbea americana American chaffseed E
Acipenser brevirostrum Shortnose sturgeon E
"E" denotes Endangered (a species that is in danger of extinction throughout
all or a significant portion of its range).
T(S/A)- Threatened due to similarity of appearance, a species that is threatened
Due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its
Protection. These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and
Are not subject to Section 7 consultation.
A biological conclusion of "No Effect" was reached for all species during the July 2, 2004 survey
for protected species. Protected species were not identified, nor, was the general habitat for each
species identified.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit 14 / NCDENR 401
WQC 3404 as required by the above-described activities.
The National Register was reviewed in addition to conducting a field view of the project for
significant historic features.
The project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality
uses. Pipe sizes proposed are the minimum necessary to create a safe highway while
accommodating the 25-year design storm. There is no record within the NCDOT District 3
Office (Bladen County) that the road experiences floods overtopping. By utilizing the erosion
control measures, downstream water quality standards will be protected. All appropriate BMP's
will be utilized during construction.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets, marked county road map, quad
location map and photographs.
If you should have any questions, or, need additional information please contact James J. Rerko,

10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: In
bringing SR-1714 (Allen-Priest Rd.) up to current safety standards, i.e. 20 foot paving
with 6 foot stabilized shoulders and 3:1 side slopes within a 60 foot right-of -way,
NCDOT must impact upon 42 linear feet of UT to Whites Creek, including 0.04 ac. of
Jurisdictional Wetlands. The existing culverts are severely deteriorated with joint
failures and must be replaced. Impacts were minimized as much as possible; 3:1 side
slopes are required due to Sandy based material found in the area and the inability to
stabilize such material. The culverts will be replaced utilizing a track-hoe excavator.
While front end loaders will, place fill material. Eventually, a motor grader will finish
grade the project prior to grading.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: By Statue, NCDOT is required to pave all
unpaved Secondary Roads. To ensure that the roadway meets current safety standards,
the road will be paved to a width of 20 feet, 6 foot grass shoulders will be installed on
each side and 3:1 side slopes will be provided within the 60 foot right-of -way.

VIII. Mitigation
Page 9 of 12
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://I-i2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrngide.html.
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.
Proiect # 6c.009036 (SR-1714 Allen-Priest Road) will be added to the Division 6 EEP
