State Project Number 7.204111B To Whom It May Concern: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace a severely perched pipe (60 R X 48 inch) on Montmartre Road (SR 3898) in Guilford County near Summerfield with one line of same size pipe. This activity will result in temporary impacts to an Unnamed Tributary to Moores Creek. The NCDOT anticipates that the pipe replacement activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3 and 33. This application is intended as a request for written authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers for the Nationwides 3 and 33. This package is also being forwarded to the NC Division of Water Quality as a courtesy notification as prescribed under General Water Quality Certification #3376 (NW 3) and #3366 (NW 33). The following information is being provided to satisfy conditions of the Nationwide Permits and General Water Quality Certifications.

MINIMIZATION INFORMATION Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters and wetlands, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US, and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Officer. MITIGATION INFORMATION Stream mitigation is not anticipated, as the impacts to any individual stream do not exceed 150 feet Wetland mitigation is not anticipated, as wetland impacts do not exceed 0.10 acres and do not occur in a unique natural wetland.

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. Pine renlacement and widening activities are necessarv to increase traffic safetv. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetland and surface waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US, and coordination with the Division Environmental Officer. 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 Page 5 of 9 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/newet]ands/stnn,gide.htmi. 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. A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated. Cumulative impacts are less than 150 -feet. The maximum amount of permanent impacts to a single stream is 0 linear feet No Outstanding Resource Waters, federally protected species or their habitats, or essential fishery habitats occur in the project area. The project is not located in a High Quality Water. 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 httn:/A12o.enr.st ite.nc.tis/NvM/l*ndex.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Page 6 of 9 IX.
