The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated May 15, 2006, received May 26, 2006. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3404. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition,
you should acquire any other 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 will
expire with the accompanying 404 permit.
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 conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the
following additional conditions.
Proiect Specific Conditions
This Certification authorizes 66 feet of culvert impacts at the crossing located at Station 62 + 70. Since this is
actually a shift of the roadway location, the entire 66 feet (two 36" CMP, each 66 feet long) is included in this
certification. The existing 50 ft. culvert, located immediately south of the proposed culvert, must be removed and a
stable stream segment created at grade immediately upon completion of the roadway relocation. The dimensions of
the restored stream should mimic the upstream and downstream reaches. In addition to temporary seeding for
stabilization, banks shall be planted with species suited for wet environments. Tree plantings or live stakes are also
recommended.
Additional conditions
1) Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the
streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for
culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement
of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may
result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by
DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,
please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will
be required.
2) If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
3) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
4) The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
5) The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
6) All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.

Mr. Terry R. Gibson, P.E.
July 7, 2006
Page 3
7) Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
8) All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
9) No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
10) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
11) The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State 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.
12) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
13) A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the Water
Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer and the on-
site project manager.
14) The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
15) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification
of Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed.
16) Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
17) There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory
mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
18) Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the
proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to
protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.

Mr. Terry R. Gibson, P.E.
July 7, 2006
Page 4
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
19) Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be
removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
20) This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 federal permit. This condition supercedes condition No. 19 in
General Certification No. 3404.
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. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing. 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 at [phone].
Sincerely,
Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

Dear Sir:
Subject: Notification for Nationwide Permit 14 (Minor Road Crossing)
NCDENR 401 WQC 3404
Culvert Replacement SR-2425 (Singletary Rd.) Robeson County
State Project Number: 6C.078052
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has scheduled to grade, drain, base
and pave SR-2425, in Robeson County. Total project length is 0.64 mile. Erosion control 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. 62+70 2 50 LF 36" CMP 2 66 LF 36" CMP
Crossing #2 Sta. 73+90 34 LF 30" RCP 48 LF 36" RCP
New stream impacts = 30 Linear Feet
Construction of this project will require impacts to the waters of the United States in the Lumber
River Basin. Crossing #1 will convey Hog Swamp (C; Sw). Crossing #2 (C; Sw) will convey an
UT to Hog Swamp. This project is located in the 03040203 hydrologic unit, and subbasin 03-07-
54.
Wetland #1 (Sta. 62+70) was identified along the upstream side of the culverts, by NCDOT.
Due to the realignment of the project, impacts here were unavoidable. Hydrology was noted
along with secondary indicators. Sweetgum and Red Maple dominated the area. Minimum
impacts are expected: approximately 4048.65 ft2 (0.09 acre).
Crossing #1 (Sta. 62+70) conveys drainage collected from a forested wetland area (Wetland 41),
which is located just upstream. Spoil sidecast material from previous cleanouts was noted along
P. O. Box 1150, Fayetteville, NC 28302-1150 - Telephone [phone]- Fax [phone]
the upstream side of the culvert. The spoil material bordered the wetland. During construction,
the spoil material will be removed and the previous grade will be established. The channel is
perennial with a bottom width of two (2) feet. This channel empties into a linear impoundment,
which has several culverts for overflow. The existing culvert consists of twin 50 LF 36" CMP's.
NCDOT Hydraulics Unit has determined that the replacement should be twin 66 LF 36" CMP's.
The culverts will be buried 7 inches (20% of the diameter), to provide aquatic life movements
along Hog Swamp.
Due to the alignment of the project, the existing twin 36" CMP's will be removed and the
existing grade will be established. The twin 66 LF 36" CMP's will be installed upstream. The
area that is outside the NCDOT right-of-way will be re-graded to natural elevation and seeded
and mulched.
Crossing #2 (Sta. 73+90) conveys an agricultural canal under SR-2425. Hydrology was noted at
the culvert entrance and the exit. The UT is an excavated canal that is approximately 4 foot wide
and 4 foot deep. The existing 34 LF of 30" RCP has signs of joint failure and end section
damage. The culvert will be replaced with a 48 LF 36" RCP. The culvert will be buried 7 inches
(20% of the diameter), to provide aquatic life movements along the UT to Hog Swamp.
RESOURCESTATUS
In general, there will be minor impacts proposed as a result of the replacement of the culverts
along SR-2425 (Singletary Rd.) in Robeson County. Placement of culverts will provide and
maintain low-flow conditions. Thirty (30) linear feet of stream impacts are expected along with
0.09 acres 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 three federally protected species for Robeson County.
Federally Protected Species for Robeson County
SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS
Alligator mississippiensis American alligator T(S/A)
Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker E
Rhus michauxii Michaux's sumac 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 March 14, 2006
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 1
Office (Robeson 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,
PWS at [phone].

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

Page 6 of 12
8. 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 60
foot in width. Surrounding land use is rural residential/ Agriculture.
9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used. In
bringing SR-2425 (Singletary 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 16 linear feet of Hog Swamp. Also NCDOT must impact 14
linear feet of UT to Hog Swamp. 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 proiect prior to grading.
10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: By Statute, NCDOT is required to pave all
unpaved Secondary Roads. To ensure that the roadway meets current safety standards,
the road will be paved to 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.
IV. Prior Project History

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.
The existine culverts are severelv deteriorated and must be replaced. The proposed
culverts have been lengthened a cumulative 30 LF to meet current safetv standards.
Wetland impacts were unavoidable.
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
Page 9 of 12
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/ncwetlands/strmgide.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.
MitiLyation for this proiect will be provided via quarterly report by E.E.P.
Wetland impacts 0.09 acres in the 03040203 Hydrologic Unit.
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/wry/index.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): 0 U.
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0 Ftl
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0 ac.
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0 ac.
Page 10 of 12
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0 ac.
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ® No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required

1 3
2 1.5
Total
Gone 1 extends out 3U feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
Additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
Page 11 of 12
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
X1. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan shall be incorporated into the Construction Plans
XH. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
X1H. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
None
