SECRETARY WETLANDS/ 401 GROUP JUN 1 0 2004 WATER QUALITY SECTION Subject: Guilford County, Gravel access on Fairfax Road WBS Element T#34£320.3.19 To Whom It May Concern: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to construct a gravel road within an existing right-of-way of Fairfax Road in Greensboro, NC. The project lies within the Randleman Watershed and is within 50 feet of Reddicks Creek. In an effort to obtain the necessary permits for the subject gravel road, we are providing a pre-construction notification application with supporting documentation. We believe this project can be permitted as a "No Practical Alternative " permit within the Randleman Watershed. It is the department's opinion that the project has been designed to have minimal disturbance, to provide maximum nutrient removal and erosion protection, to have least adverse effects on aquatic life and habitat, and to protect water quality to the maximum extent practical through the use of best management practices. The following information is being provided to satisfy conditions of General Water Quality Certification. P. O.

Location County: Guilford Nearest Town:Greensboro ----- ------- Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): Not Applicable Directions to site (include road numbers, landmarks, etc.): The project is in southwest Greensboro. From I40 near Greensboro take the High Point Road exit and head west towards High Point for approximately 1.8 miles to Hilltop Road. Turn right onto Hilltop Road and go approx 0.4 miles ( V Traffic Signal) to Fairfax Road. Turn left on Fairfax Road and go 0.5 miles to Roland Road. Fairfax Road will appear to end but the 50 ft wide right-of-way actually extends beyond Roland Road which is where the gravel driveway is proposed. 5. Site coordinates, if available (UTM or Lat/Long): See the attached USGS map. (Note - If project is linear, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.) 6. Property size (acres): Not Applicable 7. Nearest body of water (stream/river/sound/ocean/lake). Reddicks Creek 8. River Basin: Cape Fear Page 2 of 9 (Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://h2o,enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.) 9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Unused 50 ft wide Right of Way that connects Fairfax Road from Roland Road to Topping Drive 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project will involve placing a gravel road within an existing, but unused right-of-way, in order to allow access to a nearby residence that will lose it's regular access due to the construction of the Greensboro Western Loop The existing unused right-of-way is 50 ft wide and approximately 380 feet long._The proposed gravel road is approximately 13 ft wide and 365 feet long and is proposed to be placed entirely within the existing unused right-of-way. A stream (Reddicks Creek) exists within the right-of-way that runs parallel to the right-of-wav but along the outside boundaries The stream runs along; the western boundary of the north portion of the right-of-way and then crosses through and existing 40 ft long _pipe-and runs along the eastern boundary and eventually outside of the right-of-wagon the southern portion of the existing _rigbt-of-wav The stream is within the Randleman Watershed and therefore subject to the Randleman Buffer Rules The gravel road is proposed to be placed as- far as practicable away from the stream while still in the Right-of-Way and without changing the existing ditch line The project will involve removing only those trees that are within the 13 ft wide gravel road and any bottom disturbing activity will only take place within the alignment of the proposed gravel road The proposed gravel road will be placed mostly along the outer limits of Zone 1 and inner limits of Zone 2 as measured from top of bank landward In order to minimize impacts the road will be aligned to the opposite side of the stream (to the east) in northern portion and (to the west) in the southern portion of the project A minimum 10 to 20 ft vegetative buffer will remain in place between the proposed gravel road and the stream except where there is the perpendicular pipe crossing. The existing 40 ft pipe will remain and will not be extended. Equipment used will be standard road construction equipment (trackhoe grader, backhoe and bulldozer). 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: To provide access to a nearby residence that will lose it's regular access due to the construction of the Greensboro Western Loop.. IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful information.

Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application, Not Applicable VI. 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. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must 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: Except for potential runoff, the Department does not anticipate My impacts to the nearby stream. Runoff is expected to be captured by the ten to twenty foot wide vegetative buffer that will remain between the proposed gravel road and the existing stream. 1. Individually list wetland impacts below: Wetland Impact Site Number indicate on ma Type of Impact* Area of Impact acres Located within 100-year Floodplain** es/no Distance to Nearest Stream linear feet Type of Wetland*** N/A * List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: mechanized clearing, grading, rill, excavation, flooding ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding. ** 100-Year floodplains are identified through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Kate Maps (FIRM), or FEMA-approved local floodplam maps. Maps are available through the FEMA Map Service Center at 1-800-358-9616, or onIineathttl2://w%v%v.fema.gov. *** List a wetland type that best describes wetland to be impacted (e.g., freshwater/saltwater marsh, forested wetland, beaver pond, Carolina Bay, bog, etc.) Indicate if wetland is isolated (determination of isolation to be made by USACE only).

Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated np-rap, dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain), stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. ** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at www.uses.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com, www.mapquest.com, etc.). *Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: Project should not result in an increase in cumalative impacts to the stream. The topography is flat which should minimize velocity of any potential runoff and allow the ten to twenly foot vegetative buffer to capture most of the runoff. 3. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.) below: Open Water Impact Site Number indicate on ma Type of Impact* Area of Impact acres Name Wate) (if applicable) Type of Waterbody (lake, pond, estuary, sound, bay, ocean, etc. N/A * List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. 4. 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.): Not Applicable Page 5 of 9 Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Not Applicable 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. In order to minimize impacts the road will be aligned to the opposite side of the stream (to the east) in the northern portion and (to the west) in the southern portion of the project in order to create the greatest practicable distance between the proposed road and the stream within the existing ri hg t-of-way A minimum 10 to 20 ft vegetative buffer will remain in place between the proposed gravel road and the stream except where there is the perpendicular pipe crossing Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetland and surface waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Officer. 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 Page 6 of 9 in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o enr state nc us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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. A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated, therefore a mitigation plan is not provided. Cumulative impacts are less than 150 feet The maximum amount of impact to a single stream is approximately zero linear feet No Outstanding Resource Waters, federally protected species or their habitats or essential fishery habitats occur in the project area. The project is not located in a High Quality Water. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http•//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.
