Subject: Proposed emergency repair of a structure conveying an unnamed tributary
to the Roanoke River (hake Gaston) on SR 1410 (N. Holiday Drive) in
Warren County_
Heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Alberto on June 14, 2006 (and repeat heavy
rains on 07/05/06) have resulted in damage. an existing structure conveying an unnamed
tributary to the Roanoke River (Lake Gaston) on SR 1410 (N. Holiday Drive) in Warren
County. The existing pipe has separated on the outlet causing the overlaying roadway
shoulder to collapse. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
proposes to reset the last two joints of this structure and to repair the associated roadway
shoulder (Figures 1 - 2).
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The project crosses an intermittent stream, UT to the Roanoke River, [NCDENR-DWQ
Index No. 23-(12), Best Usage Classification WS-V&B; HUC 03010106] in the Roanoke
River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 24-inch reinforced
concrete pipe that is 40 feet long (see Photographs 1-2). This existing structure has
disconnected. The NCDOT proposes to reset the last two joints and rebuild the roadway
shoulder section. Rip rap will be used to armor the pipe end and associated fill slope
above. During the construction of the project, the NCDOT proposes to temporarily
dewater the work zone for approximately 2 days. This will involve the temporary
placement of sandbags in the creek at the inlet of this structure and 25 feet downstream of
construction. This downstream dewatering location was selected at where the blowhole
ends and the normal stream width and elevation exists. To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of construction will be temporarily pumped out by a hose
and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter
through vegetation before flowing into the stream. Any effluent from the work area will
be pumped to an upland area, over fifty feet away from the stream, within a cut over area
where sediment can filter out of the water before reentering the stream, Once the stream

has been dewatered, the pipe joints will be reset. The materials used for dewatering will
be removed after construction.
Permanent impacts at the site associated with the repair will involve no surface water fill,
but only rip rap armoring not to exceed 1 OR along the banks at the pipe outlet. Temporary
impacts will include the dewatering of 25 feet of stream.
Riparian Buffer
The project is located in the Roanoke River Basin. Therefore, construction will be
completed without impacts to protected riparian buffers-
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 Mit ag_tion: 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 July 2006, there are two federally protected species listed
for Warren County. They include dwarf wedgetnussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and the
Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana). The intermittent stream of the Roanoke River
Basin at this project site is small and within the headwaters of it's system and does not
provide suitable habitat for mussel fauna. 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
07/13/06 site visit and the NHP database review, biological conclusions of No Effect
have been rendered for each species.
Summary
The NCDOT proposes to repair the existing structure, by resetting the last two joints of
pipe. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the repair will involve no surface
water fill, but only rip rap armoring not to exceed l OR along the banks at the pipe outlet.
Temporary impacts will include the dewatering of 25 feet of stream. The work zone will
be dewatered for approximately 2 days. The materials used for dewatering will be
removed after construction. The project is located in the Roanoke River Basin. Therefore,
construction will be completed without impacts to protected riparian buffers.

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
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://h-?o.enr.state.ne.us/newetlands/stffnfjde.htyni.
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
