Re: DWQ Project No. 20061174
new information, but no change to impacts
Rob and Eric: Please note that this pipe extension will be constructed using a traditional pipe segment
not a bottomless arch as indicated in my cover letter dated July 24, 2006. The Bridge Unit folks believe
that a round segment of pipe can be attached to the arch and not impede low flow passage. The impact
totals and the information presented in the PCN have NOT changed. Eric- This information may affect
your decision regarding mitigation requirements. Since this is a perennial stream and it does have
significant aquatic function, NCDOT is prepared to meet mitigation requirements for the l Oft of stream
loss. Rob- This information shouldn't affect the DWQ Cert, unless you wish to revise the conditions to
include the pipe burial condition? Either way, we plan to install this pipe extension as low as it will go in
the stream bed, but again bed rock in this area and the position of the existing pipe segment will dictate
the final elevation. -Heather

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. The permittee shall use Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)]. Temporary
cover (wheat, millet, or similar annual grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil
within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control matting should
be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should
be secured in place with staples or wherever possible, lives stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue should
not be used in riparian areas.
2. Riprap 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.
3.. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall 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.
7. 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.
8. 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..
9. 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.
10. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
11. Discharging hydroseed mixtures. and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.

DENR-WATER QUALITY
Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator WEnANaS AND gTORMWATER 6RANCH
Subject: Proposed emergency repair of a site with a structure conveying an
unnamed tributary to the Little River on SR 2320 (Riley Hill Road) in
Wake County.
Heavy rains associated with Tropical Storm Alberto on June 14, 2006 have resulted in
damage to an existing roadway shoulder above the outlet of a structure conveying an
unnamed tributary to the Little River on SR 2320 (Riley Hill Road in Wake County).
Flooding in the area of this cross line caused the roadway shoulder above the outlet to
fail. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to extend this
structure so that this section of roadway shoulder can be safely repaired (Figures 1 - 3)_
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The project crosses a perennial stream, an unnamed tributary to the Little River,
[NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-57-(1), Best Usage Classification WS-11 HQW NSW;
H C 030202011 (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys
the creek is a bottomless 74-inch corrugated metal pipe arch that is 33 feet long
(Photographs 1 and 2). Please note that this bottomless pipe setting on stone/concrete
walls was installed years ago because bedrock in the area of this crossing prevented the
use of a traditional pipe. So that the failed section of roadway shoulder above this pipe
outlet can be repaired, a I Oft of segment of pipe will be added to the outlet end. One this
pipe segment is set, the associated roadway shoulder will be rebuilt and the area
surrounding the outlet will be stabilized using riprap for armoring. The NCDOT proposes
to temporarily dewater the work zone during the construction. This will involve the
temporary placement of an impervious dike in the creek 10ft upstream and 20ft
downstream of construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be
extended and the roadway shoulder will be repaired. Permanent impacts at the site will
involve no surface water fill, but I Oft of stream covered that wasn't previously covered.
Also loft of riprap will be placed along the streambanks to protect the outlet of this
structure. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately l week. Temporary

impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 30 linear feet of
stream. The materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction.
Riparian Buffer
Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The UT to the Little River at Site 1 is depicted on the
most recent version of the Zebulon (USGS 1968/1981) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1)
as well as the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2). Construction
impacts at this site total 1,809 ft2 in Zone 1 and 1,207 fF in Zone 2 (totaling 30 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 atfiected 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.
_MinimizationThe 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 tag ion: All compensatory mitigation requirements will be left to the
discretion of the regulatory review agencies.
Protected Specics
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 four federally protected species listed for
Wake County. They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta hererdon), and Michaux's
sumac (Rhus rnichauxii). The project site is not adjacent to nor is it surrounded by open water
suitable of supporting foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The dense wooded areas and
agriculture land surrounding this roadway do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for
red-cockaded woodpecker. Roadway shoulders along this section of SR 2320 are heavily
maintained, eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area.
Additionally, this small UT to the little River is within the headwaters of its system and does
not provide suitable habitat for dwarf wedgemussel. Based on lack of suitable habitat
observed during the 07/21/06 site visit, and no NHP records of occurrences indicated within
the project area, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each of these
species.
Summary
The NCDOT proposes to extend the existing structure in order to repair the roadway
shoulder above the outlet. Permanent impacts at the site associated with this repair work

involve no surface water fill, but loft of stream covered that wasn't previously covered.
Also 1 oft of riprap will be added to armor the pipe outlet. The work zone will be
dewatered for approximately 1 week. Temporary impacts to the stream from this activity
will result in the dewatering of 30 linear feet of stream. The materials used for dewatering
will be removed after construction. Riparian buffer impacts at Site 1 associated with this
maintenance activity total 1,809 fe in Zone 1 and 1,207 fe in Zone 2 (totaling 30 linear
feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site,
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. 3494 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

Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: No actual surface water fill will result
