DATE: March 9, 2006
SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), SRI 191, Elkin Landfill Road,
Unnamed Tributaries Snow Creek, Surry County
NCDOT proposes to improve and pave SRI 191. Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission are familiar with habitat values in the area. These comments are provided in accordance
with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-
667d) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 113A-10; NCAC 25).
The project will replace a 40' x 18" pipe with a new 40' x 18" pipe and replace a 34' x 66" pipe with a
new 40' x 66" x 51" pipe. A small road shoulder failure will be stabilized with rip rap. Total stream
impacts including riprap will be 46 linear feet of stream. The smaller pipe is indicated to remain perched
due to slope. A temporary dewatering sandbag and pumping process will allow the project to be
accomplished in the dry.
Based on our review of the application package and our knowledge of the area, we will not object to the
project providing the following non-prioritized conditions are implemented:
Culverts 48" diameter or larger should be buried a foot into the streambed. Culverts less than
48" diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% their size to allow for
aquatic life passage. These measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths. All
waters must flow through without freefalling or damming on either end during low flow
conditions to maintain aquatic life and/or fish passage.
The above standard culvert recommendation is waived for the smaller pipe providing the
energy dissipater is installed to promote aquatic life passage to the extent practicable.
Otherwise, any riprap used should not interfere with aquatic life movement during low flows.
The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the barrels should not be
modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the streams. Previously
disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions
whenever possible.

4. If any concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not
contact stream water.
5. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream channel in order
to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the
stream.
6. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained
until project completion.
7. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within ten
(10) days of ground disturbing activities in the stream buffer to provide long-term erosion
control. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for streambank
stabilization when practicable.
8. Temporary sediment and erosion control devices should be modified upon project completion
to provide vegetated stormwater filtration if practicable.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the early planning stages. If
you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Dear Mr. Pettyjohn:
April 7, 2006
Surry County
DWQ Project No. 06-0390
SR 1191 (Elkin Landfill Rd)
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur the following impacts
in order to pave, widen and improve traffic safety on SR 1191 (Elkin Landfill Rd) in Surry County.
• 16 linear feet of new piping impacts to two unnamed tributaries to Snow Creek (6 feet of new pipe impacts and 20
feet of rip-rap impacts);
• approximately 20 linear feet of stream bank stabilization along Snow Creek at station 14+70; and
• Temporary dewatering impacts of approximately 0.002 acres.
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated March 6, 2006. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3495, 3404 and 3366,
corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 13, 14 and 33 respectively. 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 federal permit. This condition supercedes condition No. 15 in General Certification
3495, condition No. 19 in the General Certification 3404, and condition No. 12 in General Certification 3366.
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 Division of Water Quality (Division) and submit a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and certifications, 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 if
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 and any additional conditions listed below.
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.
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.
2. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of
the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they
shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the completion of the project.
4. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
5. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site
for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of
existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater sheet flow.
6. Where practicable, culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater
than 20% of their size to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch in diameter or larger should be
buried at least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established
in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. These
measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to
meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced,
and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible. All waters must flow
through without freefalling or damming on either end of the culverts during low flow conditions, to maintain
aquatic life and/or fish passage.
7. The pipe at station 12+50 will be installed at a slope of greater than 6% and therefore will remain perched and
energy dissipator pad will be utilized to promote aquatic life passage to the extent practicable.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
9. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted when practical.
If rip-rap is necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark, and vegetation must be
used for stabilization above high water. Any rip-rap used must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low
flow conditions.
11. If concrete is used, work must be accomplished so the wet concrete does not contact the stream water. This will
lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
12. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
13. 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.
14. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other
materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate
vicinity of the culverts.

15. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to preexisting conditions unless more natural geomorphic conditions
can be provided.
16. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
17. 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. The responsible party
shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project.

Dear Mr. Thomas:
The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base and pave SR 1191, Elkin
Landfill Road in Surry County. Total project length is approximately 0.47 mile. The roadway
width will increase from 16' to 18' and be paved. Impervious surface area will increase by 0.11
acres. This project will require the replacement of two (2) wet pipes and a bank stabilization area
as shown below:

* The wet pipe at station 12+50 will remain perched when replaced due to slope.
**There is a small shoulder failure at station 14+70 that will require approximately 20 feet of rip
rap stabilization.
The replacement of the existing wet pipe at station 28+00 may require temporary dewatering. If
the creek is flowing at the time of construction, an impervious sandbag dike will be constructed
approximately 20 feet upstream of the existing structure to create a small pool. Clean water will
temporarily be pumped around the construction area and will be discharged into a buffer area
downstream. Any dirty water located inside the construction area will t--; pumped into a silt bag.
The dewatered area at station 28+00 will total approximately 0.002 acres. Once the new structure

is in place, the impervious dike will be removed and preconstruction streambed elevation will be
restored.
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Yadkin
Basin. Wet pipes located at stations 12+50 and 28+00 carry different unnamed tributaries to
Snow Creek (Class: C). This project was reviewed for the presence of threatened and endangered
species on March 6, 2006. This project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered
plant or animal species. The State Historic Preservation Office has reviewed this project and did
not request any survey work.
The proposed project should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Pipe sizes used
will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. All pipes with a slope greater than 6%
will remain perched and an energy dissipator pad will be installed at the pipe outlet. By utilizing
the erosion control measures outlined in the attachments to this application, downstream water
quality standards will be protected. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets with proposed erosion control
measures, a marked county map, a marked topography map and photographs.
By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of this application package to John
Hennessy, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, for his review. It is
requested that any comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to me with a
copy sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please
let me know. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.

VII. 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.
By utilizing the erosion control measures as shown in the attached drawings adverse impacts to
streams in the area will be minimized. Since this is an existing roadway, the stream impacts
cannot be avoided. However, the replacement pipe lengths will be the minimum needed to
safely construct the paved roadway. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1 .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
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
littp://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm_side.litml.
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.
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 htip: rli2o.cnr.st ite.iic.iis/i%rp/index.thhn. 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
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
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 (DWQ Only)
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 213 .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
Mitigation
1 3
2 1.5
Total
* Zone I extends out 30 fat perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone I.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Butler 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.
XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
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.
Impervious surface area will increase by 0.11 acre. All annronriate best management practices
for sediment and erosion control will be implemented during construction.
Page 9 of 12
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
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.
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
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).
Applicant/Agent's Signature U Date
(Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

PLAN SHEET
Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to the dimension of six feet by
three feet by three feet unless otherwise noted on plans.
Generally, the order of Installation of the erosion control measures
will be as follows:
Temporary silt basins shall be installed before
clearing and grubbing begins.
Silt fences and temporary silt ditches shall be
installed after clearing and before grading.
Temporary stone ditch tucks shall be installed as
soon as dltchllne Is establlshed.
Pipe outlet and Inlet protection will be done as
soon as the pipe Is Installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures
are to be implemented as soon as practical.
OA
'r RS
Always SUPER toward ditch line as a
temporary measure In His situation!
Water Leve!
Rap Liner
Typical for use at cross line pipes, culverts and where
disturbed area Is near stream.
Maintain above and below stream conditions at
pre-construction widths and depths.
Native vegetation should be maintained or restored
along stream banks where practical.
