=1 Division of Water Quality
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your modification request dated received October 17, 2006.
After reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3404 and 3366. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 and Nationwide
Permit 33 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B.0233). 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 replaces the certification issued May 23, 2005. 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 those listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless
otherwise approved by this certification.
2. All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the
preconstruction contours and revegated. Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-woody
species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this condition,
maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to regular DOT
maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non-maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated,
with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of construction.
3. Pursuant to NCACI5A 2B.0233(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any
Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and
erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover,
sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not
compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
4. 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.
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they should be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely
as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases
water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.

6. %prap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
7. For the 46 linear feet of streams being impacted due to site dewatering activties, the site shall be graded to its
preconstruction contours and revegetated with appropriate native species.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark should 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
16. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
17. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent th te wate
quality standards (including any requirements resulting wi Sta r
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.
18. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification..
19. 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.
20. 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.

21. 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.
22. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the
growing season following completion of construction.
23. 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 str ams
e,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
24. 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.
25. 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.
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 writt en 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 Rob Ridings at [phone].

Rob- Yes the numbers you have for Bissette Road are the grand total. It was easier for me to revise the
entire application and PCN form then to try to refer to extra rip rap, extra buffer impacts, new wetland
impacts, etc. Thanks for dealing with this situation. I have one more project similar to this (you may see
this within a few days), where I'll need to a mod, but it has no wetland impacts. From now on, I'll make a
point to always wait to get the pipe size recommendation before I send out an application. This redo
process is no fun for any of us.: (
Total wetland impacts 950 sqft
Zone 1 (wetland impacts) 757 sqft
Zone 2 (wetland impacts) 164 sgft
-----------------------then 29 sgft (unbuffered wetland impact)
Breakdown of above summary:
298 sgft (N side of road, west of creek) in Zone 1
431 sgft (N side of road, east of creek) in Zone 1
164 sgft (N side of road, east of creek) in Zone 2
28 sgft (S side of road, fringe to stream at dewatering limits) in Zone 1
29 sgft (N side of road, east side of creek) unbuffered wetland impacts

Heather,
Thanks for clarifying those buffer/wetland impacts for the Franklin
County project.
I'm now also looking at the application for SR 2508 in Wake and am
seeing a very similar issue... wetlands overlapping with buffers. Could
you separate those impacts out for this one as well? That'll be much
apprecieated.
Also, just to make sure I'm correct, all these impact numbers are Total
numbers ... they are NOT in addition to the impacts already authorized in
the May 2005 approval?
Thanks,

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Action ID: 200520907, 200520908, dated 06/15/05
DWQ Project No. 050849, dated 05/23/05
NCDOT SR 2508 application, dated 05/12/05 [WBS element 5C.092065]
The secondary road improvements to SR 2508 (Bissette Road) in Wake County are
currently underway. This paving project involves one permit site with a pipe replacement
at STA 73+22. Please note that the referenced application indicated we would be
replacing the existing pipe with a longer pipe. We did not have a size recommendation
from the NCDOT Hydraulics Unit at that time, so we anticipated a larger single line of
pipe. However Hydraulics has recommended 2@ 95" x 67" corrugated pipe arches. The
installation of two lines of pipes would require a slightly larger work area and would
involve additional surface impacts and buffer impacts. In addition there would be impacts
to wetlands that were not were anticipated originally. The information provided below
details our proposal to use two lines of pipes and serves to completely replace the original
application by requesting modifications to the referenced permits.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade and
pave SR 2508 (Bissette Road) from SR 2233 (Smithfield Road) to Johnston County line
in Wake County. (Figures 1-3). Total project length is 1.43 miles. Transportation and
highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7, 136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and
136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work programs for construction and
maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes specifically set forth
requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved roads. Paving of
these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT for each unpaved
road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of each road,
including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries, recreational
facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a thoroughfare.
SR 2508 is scheduled to be paved as part of the Secondary Roads Construction Program.

Impacts to Waters of the United States
Site 1 (STA 73 + 22) - Waters of US
.Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Marks Creek
[NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-38, Best Usage Classification C NSW; HUC 03020201 ]
(Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure conveying the creek is 48"
corrugated metal pipe that is 39 feet long (see Photographs 1 and 2). This pipe will be
replaced with 2 @ 95"x 67" corrugated metal pipe arches that are 60 feet long.
Permanent impacts at the site associated with construction include a total of 46 ft (21 lft
of fill in surface water in addition to 25 lft of rip rap armoring). The work zone will be
temporarily dewatered for approximately 5 days. This will involve the temporary
placement of impervious dikes upstream and downstream of construction. The
impervi4us.di?es will_be_ either sandbags or sheet piling depending upon availability of
materials yar t(ehow.conditions during construction. Once the stream has been dewatered,
the replacement pipes will be installed. Please note that one pipe will be installed to
convey the main line stream flow. The other pipe will be placed to the east on the same
elevation, but will serve as an overflow pipe. A rip rap covered soil berm will be installed
at the inlet to prevent ordinary flow from entering this pipe. During storm events both
lines of pipe will carry water. To maintain water flow during construction, any water
upstream of construction will be temporarily pumped out and conveyed around
downstream of the construction. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this
activity will result in dewatering 46 linear feet of stream. The impervious dike materials
used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Fill in wetlands is also anticipated
at this site. The access for construction and the rip rap needed to armor the mainline and
overflow pipe will result in 950 ft2 (0.022 ac) of fill in a fringe wetland along this unnamed
tributary. (See Appendix One for USACE Wetland Delineation forms/DWQ rating sheets).
STA 56+65 - Waters of US
Please note that surface waters at the Marks Creek bridge crossing will not be impacted by
construction of this project.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
Site 1 (STA 73 + 22) - Buffers
The construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. The unnamed perennial tributary to Marks Creek at Site 1 is
depicted on the most recent version of the Clayton (1964/1988) topographic quadrangle
(Figure 1) as well as on the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2).
Erosion and sediment control devices along the project are comprised of temporary rock
silt checks, temporary silt basins, and temporary silt fence. The NCDOT proposes to
install temporary erosion and sediment control devices in Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the
riparian buffer. The temporary structures will be removed once the vegetation has been
established. Please note that the placement of these structures are within the 60 right-of-
way width and their associated impacts are included within the site total of 2,513 ft' in
Zone 1 and 1,201 ft- in Zone 2 (totaling 46 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on
the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is ALLOWABLE.
3
STA 56+65 - Buffers
Please note that the riparian buffers at the Marks Creek bridge crossing will not be impacted
by construction of this project.
Waters of the U.S./Riparian Buffer Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands and surface waters not affected by the project will be protected
from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or storage of
construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional
sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices
for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the
Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
Compensato Mitigation: All compensatory mitigation requirements will be left to the
discretion of the regulatory review agencies.
Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
Endangered, and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the ESA. As of October 2006, there are four federally protected species
listed for Wake County. They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalats),
red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta
heterdon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). Bissette Road is not adjacent to open
water suitable to provide foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The dense mixed hardwood
stands surrounding these sites do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-
cockaded woodpecker. The UT to Marks Creek at Site 1 is a small stream and does not
provide suitable habitat for mussel fauna. The roadway shoulders along Bissette Road are
heavily maintained, eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area.
Additionally, a review of the Natural Heritage Program database (last updated September
2006) revealed no occurrences of protected species within the project area. Therefore,
based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the 02/07/05 and 10/05/06 site visit and the
NHP database review, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each
species.
Historical Compliance
This project has been screened by all pertinent parties to ensure historic compliance.
Summary
Permit modifications are hereby requested for the referenced Department of the Army
Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, NWP 33, and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401
Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3404, WQC No. 3366, and buffer authorization
4
for above-described activities. An automated payment procedure has been implemented
between the NCDOT and NCDWQ. This procedure will enable the Division to apply for
this modification without submitting a check. This procedure will provide payment to the
NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee of $200.00 directly to the appropriate
NCDOT WBS element 5C.092065. A revised pre-construction notification is attached
with this request. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
Ms. Heather Montague at [phone].

and surface waters will be enforced during construction. Only the smallest amount of _fill
necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States or riparian
buffers.
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 January 15, 2002, 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
Page 5 of 8
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 NCEEP 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://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
