Dear Sir:
Subject: Notification for Nationwide Permit 14 (Minor Road Crossing)
NCDENR 401 WQC 3404
Culvert Replacement SR-1740 Columbus County
State Project Number: 6c.024050
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has scheduled to grade, drain, base
and pave SR-1740, in Columbus County. Total project length is.54 mile. 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 two (2) wet cross lines as shown below:
Crossing Roadway Station Existing Culvert Proposed Culvert

Crossing #1 Sta. 21+25 44 LF 24" RCP 50LF 30" RCP
Crossing #2 Sta. 05+91 44 LF 24" RCP 50LF 30" RCP
New stream impacts =12 linear feet
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Lumber
River Basin. Crossings #1 & #2 will convey UT to Lake Waccamaw. (ORW), eventually to the
Waccamaw River.
Culvert #1 conveys drainage collected from a forested/agricultural area. Spoil sidecast from
previous clean outs was noted along both ends of the culverts. The sidecast material will be
removed and the previous grade established. The existing 44 LF 24" RCP has signs of joint
failure and the end sections have been damaged. The culvert will be removed and replaced with
a 50 LF 30" RCP.
Culvert #2 picks up drainage from a forested/agricultural area. The UT to Lake Waccamaw
(eventually to the Waccamaw River) is a man-made stream that possesses very little slope. The
existing 44 LF 24" RCP was buried when it was installed to accommodate the minimal fill
.ors

overtop of the culvert, which is why the proposed 50LF 30" RCP will be laid at the same invert
elevation as the existing culvert. Though there is documented evidence of flooding at this
location, the Hydraulics Unit determined that the proposed slight enlargement of the culvert
would not solve the seasonal flooding. Extensive stream (ditch) dredging would be required
which is not within the scope of this project.
In addition to the 12LF of stream impacts, there is a 0.023 Ac. wetland impact. The wetland is
dominated by grass spp., sedge, and rush within the pasturelands outside of NCDOT Right-of-
way. Within the NCDOT Right-of-way, red maple (Acer Rubrum) and rush (Juncus spp)
dominated the area.
RESOURCE STATUS
In general, there will be minor impacts proposed as the result of the replacement of culverts
along SR-1740 in Columbus County. Twelve (12) linear feet of stream impacts are expected
along with 0.023 Ac. of Non-riverine wetlands. 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, 2004, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
lists five federally protected species for Columbus County.
Federally Protected Species for Columbus County
SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS
Acipenser brevirostrum Shortnose Sturgeon E
Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker E
Menidia extensa Waccamaw Silverside T
Thalictrum cooleyi Cooley 's meadowrue E
Lysimachia
as erulae olia Rough-leaved loosestife 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 November 17,
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 should address most flooding concerns but they will not eliminate the
potential to flood.
Since Lake Waccamaw is an Outstanding Water Resource (ORW) all appropriate Best
Management Practices (BMP's) will be utilized during the construction of this project.
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,
PWS at [phone].

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: Existing 20 foot dirt road with maintenance limits 45
foot in width. Surrounding land use is agriculture/forested.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used. In
bringing SR-1740 (East Oak St.) up to current safety standards, i.e. 20 foot paving w /6
foot stabilized shoulders and 3:1 side slopes within a 60 foot right-of-way, NCDOT
must impact upon 12 linear feet of UT to Lake Waccamaw and 0.023 Acres of Non-
Page 6 of 12
Riverine Wetlands. The existing culverts are severely deteriorated with ioint failures
and must be replaced. Impacts were minimized as much as possible; 3:1 side slopes are
required due to the sandy 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 material. Eventually, a motor grader will finish grade the project
prior to paving.
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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/stnnszide.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.
Mitization will be provided by EEP via Quarterly Report.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/YU/index.htm. If use of

SUBJECT: Drainage Structure Recommendations on SR 1740
Pursuant to your request for pipe size recommendations during our field review of subject
site, the following is offered.
0.15 miles west of SR 1757
Drainage area = +/- 30 acres
Existing pipe size is 1 @ 24"
Recommended pipe size is 1 @ 30"
0.37 miles west of SR 1757
Drainage area = +/- 30 acres
Existing pipe size is 1 @ 24"
Recommended pipe size is 1 @ 30"
Note: The existing pipe inverts are buried. It is recommended that the new pipes be
placed at the same invert elevations as the existing. This will give provision to
accommodate any future comprehensive drainage improvement project that may be
proposed by others and still provide adequate waterway opening above existing bed
elevations.

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 is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, 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 of 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 following conditions, as well as those listed
in the attached certification.
1) 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. We also ask that you notify Ken Averitte in the Fayetteville
Regional Office when this work is completed.
2) NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards
(including any requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water
Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State law and federal law. If DWQ determines
that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or
achieved use) or that State or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are
necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include
conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and requirements in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before modifying the certification, DWQ shall
notify NCDOT and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H.0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to NCDOT in writing, shall
be provided to the US Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the
proj ect.
3) Aside from installation of the culverts, no grading or excavation is to take place in the active
stream floor.

4) 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 that 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.
5) This Water Quality Certification will expire with the accompanying 404 permit issued by
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This condition supercedes Condition #19 of
General Certification #3404 issued on March 28, 2003.
6) Sediment and erosion control measures must be designed in accordance with
HQW/ORW design standards.
7) All relocated shoulder ditches that are part of this project must be vegetated. No
new pipes for the discharge of storm water are authorized within the footprint of
this project.
8) Relocated shoulder ditches must not be of a depth or dimension that would result in
a drainage effect or alteration of hydrology within the adjacent wetlands.
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 Ken Averitte 910-486-1541, ext.
703.
Sincerely,
