APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Holder:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 30 linear feet (If) (20 If for culvert extension and 10 If for inlet/outlet stabilization using riprap) of an
unnamed tributary` to Lyle Creek. The impacts are proposed in order to repair and extend the existing 64 foot
culvert and provide the roadway shoulder with adequate slope as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on February 22, 2005. The location of the project is State Road 2404
(Compass Street) in Catawba County. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is
covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3404. This certification corresponds to Nationwide
Permit 14 issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Please note that you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited
to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire with the associated 404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design that you described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and you may be required to 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, or if 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 and those listed below:
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands must be below the elevation of
the streambed by one (1) 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 for low flow passage of water and
aquatic life, as well as prevent headcutting of the streams. In the event that proper pipe burial cannot be
achieved, design and placement of the culvert and other structures, including a rock ladder, shall be installed
in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered (i.e., the depth of the channel must not be
reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including pattern and profile) are to
be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The applicant may be required to provide evidence
that the equilibrium has been maintained, if requested in writing by the DWQ.

2. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of
such BMP in order to protect surface water standards:
a. 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 pit sites, and waste pile (spoil)
projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project,
b. 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.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel, when possible, in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
5. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic
conditions can be provided.
6. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
10. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is prohibited.
11. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within 30 days after the Division of Land Resources has
released the project.
12. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and its contractors and/or agents shall not
excavate, fill or perform mechanized land clearing at any time in the construction or maintenance of this
project within waters and/or wetlands, except as authorized by this Certification, or any modification to this
Certification (e.g., no work shall occur outside of the footprint of the plans provided). In addition, there shall
be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
Certification without appropriate modification. If this occurs, compensatory mitigation may be required since it
is a direct impact from road construction activities.

13. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. Please
include photographs upstream and downstream of the structure to document correct installation.
14. Continuing Compliance. NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with state water quality
standards [including any requirements for compliance with section 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 to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and
requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify
NCDOT and the USACE, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0503, and provide
opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall
be provided to NCDOT in writing, shall be provided to the USACE for reference in any permit issued pursuant
to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.

SUBJECT: Pipe extension on secondary road paving project, SR 2404 (Compass Street), Catawba
County
Dear Mr. Hennessy:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests authorization to extend an existing pipe during
the upgrade/paving project on SR 2404 (Compass Street) in Catawba County. The pipe extension is
necessary to provide adequate slope of roadway shoulders. The existing road sideslope, which is at a 1:1
ratio in the vicinity of the stream crossing (Station 2+47) will be restructured to a 1:1.5 ratio. The pipe is
being extended rather than replaced due to the amount of roadway fill over the pipe (16 feet). A64-foot
long, 30" RCP (four feet of which has broken off) will be extended to 80 feet. The broken four-foot
section will be replaced on the downstream side, plus an additional 8 feet of pipe will be added both
upstream and downstream for a total increase of 20 feet. Five feet of riprap will be utilized at the pipe
inlet and outlet for structure stabilization. The existing pipe is perched approximately 1.5 feet and a large
scour hole (-12 foot length x -10 foot width) has formed at the outlet of the pipe. The 12-foot pipe
extension should extend past the existing scour hole (which will be filled) and reconnect the new pipe
outlet to the "normal" streambed elevation; however, the extended pipe may not meet the pipe burial
requirement. The stream is a low-flow, intermittent stream with no fish. If the extended pipe remains
perched, a small "rock ladder" will be constructed to facilitate other aquatic organism passage.
The stream is a low flow stream and upstream flooding of property is not an issue; therefore, stream flow
will be dammed and the pipe extensions will be done within an 8-hour period without additional stream
flow management. The scope of the work will result in 12 linear feet of pipe fill and 10 feet of
streambank riprap impacts to the unnamed tributary to Lyle Creek, which is classified as WS-W waters
by the Division of Water Quality.
The proposed project is located in Class WS-W watershed; however, it is not located within '/Z mile of
any critical watershed area, nor is SR 2404 a rural or urban arterial. Hazardous spill basins are not
required. Enclosed is the NCDOT hazardous spill basin checklist.
This letter serves as an application from the Department of Transportation for the certification of the
proposed activities under the Division of Water Quality's WQC#3404 for permanent fill impacts
associated with the linear transportation crossings. I have enclosed a PCN application, sketches of
planned activities, and a location maps relative to the project.
Project information for the 401 Automated Payment Procedure is as follows:
• Work order number: 150460-55120005-12C.018045-3855
• TIP #: NA
• Project Category: $200.00 Fee

5. Pond Creation: NO POND IMPACTS
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 ap lication.

local stormwater requirement, etc.):_
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
The pine extension is necesnU to provide adequate slope of roadway shoulders The existing
slope is a 1.1 ratio It is proposed to adjust the slope ratio to 1.1 5 The pipe is being extended
rather than replaced due to the amount of roadway fill over the pipe (16 feet); therefore, the
existing pipe sets the invert elevation of the extended sections The pipe is perched -1.5 feet at
there is a large scour hole (10 ft wide x 12 ft long) at the existing pipe outlet. The scour hole
will be filled in order to install the additional 12 feet of pipe. This should reconnect the pipe
outlet to the "normal" streambed elevation; however, the extended pipe may not meet the Ripe
burial requirement The stream is a low-flow, intermittent stream with no fish. If the extended
pipe remains perched a small "rock ladder" will be constructed to facilitate other aquatic
organism passage.
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 March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP 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/strmgide.html.
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.
