Conditions of Certification:
1. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curing concrete and surface waters. 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.
2. 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.
3. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of surface waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
4. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
5. 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..
6. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification..
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the
growing season following completion of construction.
11. 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.
12. 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.

Subject: NC Moving Ahead project: Roadway improvements along NC 55 at the
SR 3374 (Kennebec Road) and the SR 2791 (Kennebec Church Road)
intersections in Wake County. WBS element 37014, MA05023R.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to line up two
existing roadways so that their intersections with NC 55 are across from each other,
instead of their current staggered positions. Additionally, turn lanes will be added to
increase the safety of the traveling public wishing to turn off of NC 55 onto to SR 3374
(Kennebec Road) or SR 2791 (Kennebec Church Road) in Wake County. NCDOT
proposes to align these intersections by relocating SR 3744 (Kennebec Road) on new
location (see Appendix One for Construction Plan Sheets 1, 4, 5, and 6). This project will
involve impacts to a manmade pond and adjacent wetland (Figures 1-3). No streams will
be affected by this project and no protected riparian buffers are associated with this
project as this project is located within the Cape Fear River Basin; HUC 03030004.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Site 1: Wetland A and Pond 1
Construction of this project involving the relocation of Kennebec Road on new location
will impact open waters of a man made pond and an adjacent herbaceous -wetland .
(Photographs 1-4). The wetland (delineated by personnel from Arcadis G&M of North
Carolina, Inc. on January 12, 2005) is located within a depression area and is not
associated with any stream. Permanent impacts at the site associated with clearing the site
and then building this segment of new location roadway will include a total of 2,309 ft2
(0.013 ac) of fill in wetlands and 300 ft2 (0.007 ac) of mechanized clearing in wetlands
(see Appendix Two for USACE Wetland Delineation Forms). Total impacts to the man
made pond include 566 ft- (0.053 ac) of fill. No surface water impacts are proposed at
this site. See Figure 3, Construction Plan for a view of impact areas.

Riparian Buffer Impacts
The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin. Therefore, construction will be
completed without impacts to protected riparian buffers.
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.
Compensatory 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. 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). This project is not adjacent to open water suitable to provide foraging habitat
for the bald eagle. The thick forest and open agricultural land surrounding this site does not
offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker. No stream is located
within the project limits, therefore no suitable habitat for mussel fauna exists. The roadway
shoulders along NC 55 and the side roads Kenenbec Road and Kennebec Church 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 April
2006) revealed no occurrences of protected species within the project area. Therefore,
based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the site visits and the NHP database review,
biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species.
Historical Compliance - --- - -- - -
This project will have no historical impacts.
Summary
As a part of the NC Moving Ahead Program, NCDOT proposes to line up two existing
roadways so that their intersections with NC 55 are across from each other, instead of
their current staggered positions. Additionally, turn lanes will be added to increase the
A-f
3
safety of the traveling public wishing to turn off of NC 55 onto to SR 3374 (Kennebec
Road) or SR 2791 (Kennebec Church Road) in Wake County. NCDOT proposes to align
these intersections by relocating SR 3744 (Kennebec Road) on new location. This will
involve impacts of 0.053 acres to a manmade pond and 0.020 acres to an adjacent
wetland. No streams will be affected by this project. Additionally, no protected riparian
buffers are associated with this project as this project is located within the Cape Fear
River Basin; HUC 03030004. .
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 14 and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
No. 3404 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 the 401 WQC without submitting a check for this permit
application. This procedure will provide payment to the NCDWQ by charging the permit
application fee of $200.00 directly to the appropriate NCDOT WBS element 37014. 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].

Page 4 of 8
6. Isolated Waters
Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No
Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
7. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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. Avoidance measures were
taken during the planning stages and minimization measures were incorporated as part of the
design Complete avoidance of impacts by alternatively relocating Kennebec Church Road to
align with Kennebec Road is not feasible due to the presence of a cemetery located in the
southwest quadrant of the intersection of NC 55 and Kennebec Church Road. Therefore, to
increase the safety of the roadway NCDOT proposes to relocate Kennebec Road to align with
Kennebec Church Road. - -
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.
Page 5 of 8
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
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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stn-ngide.html.
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.
All compensatory mitigation requirements will be. left to the discretion of the regulatory
review agencies.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five 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):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ® No ?
Page 6 of 8
2. 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
3. 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.
