Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Proposed maintenance improvements to a structure conveying an unnamed
tributary to Terrible Creek on SR 1401 (Stewart Street) in Wake County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace a pipe
conveying an unnamed tributary to Terrible Creek on SR 1401 (Stewart Street) in Wake
County (Figures 1 - 3). Information concerning this activity is provided below:
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Site 1 -Waters of the U.S.
Maintenance activities at this site will impact an intermittent stream, an unnamed tributary to
Terrible Creek, [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-43-15-8-(1), Best Usage Classification
B NSW, HUC 03020201] (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure
conveying the creek is a 24-inch pipe with a drop box on the west road shoulder
(Photographs 1 and 2). The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a double
line of 48-inch corrugated aluminum pipes that are 80 feet long. Please note that one of the
replacement pipes will serve as the main line.for carrying the stream and the other will serve
as an overflow pipe. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the
construction of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the
creek 10 ft upstream and 10 ft downstream of construction. Once the stream has been
dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the
replacement of the structures and rip rap to protect the structures involve a total of 32 linear
feet (12 ft of surface water fill at the outlet and 20 ft of rip rap armoring total for both ends of
the new pipes). The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 5 days. Temporary
concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 32 linear
feet of stream. The sandbags used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Please
note that the portion of this stream to be impacted is highly degraded and therefore we
propose no mitigation ,for the 12 , ft of proposed surface water fill. Fill in wetlands is also
anticipated at this site. The placement of rip rap surrounding the inlet of the new structures
and space needed for construction will result in 326 ft- (0.007 ac) of fill in a fringe wetland
along this stream. (See Appendix One for USACE Wetland Delineation forms/DWQ rating
sheets).

Riparian Buffer
Site 1- Buffers
The maintenance at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Neuse River Buffer Rules. The unnamed tributary to Terrible Creek, at Site 1, is depicted
on the most recent version of the Fuquay-Varina (USGS 1974/1981) topographic
quadrangle (Figure 1) and the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS, 1970) (Figure
2). Construction impacts at this site total 2,788 ft2 in Zone 1 and 0 ft2 in Zone 2 (totaling
32 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at
this site, this crossing is EXEMPT.
Waters of the U.S. 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.
Compensatory Miti ag tion: Unavoidable impacts to 0.007 acre of non-riverine wetlands
will be mitigated (at a 1:1 ratio) by providing 0.007 acre of restoration equivalent non-
riverine wetlands within the same river basin and cataloging unit. Please note that no
stream mitigation is offered for the 12 lft of impacts to this degraded stream. All
compensatory mitigation requirements will be assimilated on a quarterly basis and
provided to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for their acceptance with a copy
provided to the USACE for verification and accounting purposes.
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 January 29, 2003, there are four federally protected species
listed for Wake County. They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus),
red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta
heterdon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). SR 1401 is not adjacent to nor is it
surrounded by open water suitable of supporting foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The
dense stands of mixed hardwood surrounding this roadway do not offer suitable forging
or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker. Since this stream crossing is within the
headwaters of this drainage way and is very degraded it does not provide suitable habitat
for mussel fauna. Additionally, the roadway shoulders along SR 1401 are heavily
maintained from the pavement to the woods line, eliminating the possibility for
Michaux's sumac to exist in these areas. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat
observed during the 06/06/05 site visit, biological conclusions of No Effect have been
rendered for each species.

Summary
The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structures with a double line of 48-inch
corrugated aluminum pipes. Please note that one of the replacement pipes will serve as the
main line, for carrying the stream and the other will serve as an overflow pipe. The NCDOT
proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the construction of the project.
This will involve the temporary use of sandbags. Once the stream has been dewatered,
the pipes will be replaced. Permanent impacts to the stream at Site 1 total 32 linear feet
(12 ft fill and 20 ft for rip rap armoring). Fill in wetlands is also anticipated at Site 1. The
placement of rip rap surrounding the inlet of the new structures and space needed for
construction will result in 326 ft'` (0.007 ac) of fill in a fringe wetland (See Appendix One
for USACE Wetland Delineation forms/DWQ rating sheets). Riparian buffer impacts at
Site 1 total 2,788 ft2 in Zone 1 and 0 ft2 in Zone 2 (totaling 32 linear feet of riparian
buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at Site 1, this crossing is
EXEMPT.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 3 and NWP 33. Additionally, this application provides notification to the
NCDWQ as Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3376 and No. 3366
will be utilized for construction of this project. The NCDOT will comply with all
applicable NWP and WQC conditions. A pre-construction notification is attached with
this request. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
Ms. Heather Montague at [phone].

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
Page 5 of 8
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 NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
