EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY April 6, 2005 WBS Element 513.209211 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office STAT IO# 9800374 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27609 WBS Eleinent:.5B.209211 STAT 10'# 9800375 Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator Subject: Proposed maintenance improvements to structures at two sites conveying unnamed tributaries to Black Creek on SR 2754 (Kennebec Road) in Wake County. DWQ # 050603 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace pipes at n two sites conveying unnamed tributaries to Black Creek on SR 2754 (Kennebec Road) in rn Wake County (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Information concerning this activity is provided rn M below: p ---A Impacts to Waters of the United States Maintenance activities at these sites will impact unnamed tributaries to Black Creek [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-45-(1), Best Usage Classification B NSW; HUC 03020201] (Figure 3 and Figure 4) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structures at each site are undersized and have resulted in a blowhole at each outlet. The outlet of the proposed structures will be located inside the limits of these blowholes, making is impractical to bury the pipes one foot in the stream bed. Additionally, both sites have noticeable amounts of bedrock within the channels which may also hinder proper pipe burial. NCDOT hydraulics unit has indicated that the increase in diameter of the proposed structures will reduce the water velocity and cause sediment to accumulate in the blowholes and eventually fill up over time to match the surrounding stream beds. Site 1 - Waters of the U.S. The existing structure conveying this perennial stream is a 36-inch corrugated metal pipe that is 32 feet long (Photographs 1 and 2). The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a 16'6" x 6'8" corrugated aluminum arch box culvert with headwalls that is 45 foot long. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the construction of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek 120 feet upstream and 27 feet downstream of the existing structure. Please note that the extra distance on the upstream side is proposed in order to use an existing weir a Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 location for positioning the sandbags (See Photograph 1). The placement of the sands will not result in impacts to the riparian buffers surrounding the mapped Partins Pond. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure involve a total of 13 feet of surface water fill and 20 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 3 weeks. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 147 linear feet of stream (33 feet plus an extra 114 linear feet for placement of the sandbags upstream at the weir). The sandbags will be removed after construction. Site 2 - Waters of the U.S. The existing structure conveying this perennial stream is a 48-inch corrugated metal pipe that is 37 feet long (Photographs 3 and 4). The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a double line of 66" x 51" corrugated metal pipe arches that are 60 foot long. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the activity at this site. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek 10 feet upstream and 10 feet downstream of the existing piped section. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure involve a total of 23 feet of surface water fill and 16 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. The work zone will be dewateredrfor approximately 5 days. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 39 linear feet of stream. The sandbags will be removed after construction. Riparian Buffer Site 1 - Buffer Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is not subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream at this crossing is an unmapped overflow channel for Partins Pond. Please note that the weir is at the northern edge of the pond dam and the placement of sandbags at this location will not result in any impacts to the riparian buffers. Therefore no impacts to protected riparian buffers are proposed at this site. Site 2 - Buffer Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The unnamed perennial tributary to Black Creek at Site 2 is depicted on the most recent version of the Angier (USGS 1964/1981) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) as well as the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2). Construction impacts at this site total 2,593 ft2 in Zone 1 and zero ft-' in Zone 2 (totaling 39 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 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. V 1 3 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: Unavoidable impacts to 36 linear feet of stream associated with this project will be mitigated (at a 2:1 ratio) by providing 72 linear feet of warm water stream restoration equivalent in the Neuse River Basin (Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03020201). All compensatory mitigation requirements will be assimilated on a quarterly basis and provided to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for their acceptance with a copy provided to the USACE for verification and accounting purposes. 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 January 29, 2003, 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). Partins Pond is adjacent to Kennebec Road but does not provide foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The open area surrounding these sites ;do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker. These UTs to Black Creek are heavily silted and do not provide suitable habitat for mussel fauna. Additionally, the roadway shoulders along Kennebec Road are heavily maintained, eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the 03/03/05 site visit, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species. Summary The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structures at Site 1 and Site 2. Both sites will be dewatered temporarily during construction. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek upstream and downstream of construction. Once the streams have been dewatered, the pipes will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the Site 1 associated with the replacement of the structure total of 13 feet with 20 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. Permanent impacts at the Site 2 associated with the replacement of the structure total of 23 feet with 16 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. Construction at Site 1 site involves a road crossing of a stream that is not subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream at this crossing is an unmapped overflow channel for Partin Pond. .Please note that the weir is at the northern edge of the pond dam and the placement of sandbags at this location will not result in any impacts to the riparian buffers; 4ierefore no impacts to protected riparian buffers are proposed at this site. Construction at Site 2 involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. Construction impacts total 2,593 ft' in Zone 1 and zero ft' in Zone 2 (totaling 39 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at Site 2, this crossing is EXEMPT. 4 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.

Duke Street Durham, NC 27704 Dear Mr. Nance: You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below, for the following impacts for the purpose of proposed pipe maintenance and improvement to two structures conveying unnamed tributaries to Black Creek on SR 2754 (Kennebec Road) in Wake County. Impact Stream Impacts - Concurrent Stream Imp' cts - Riparian Buffer Impacts (Square Feet) Locations Permanent Fill Temporary Dewatering- (Linear Feet) (Linear Feet) Site 1. 33 147 N/A Site 2 39 39 2,593 (2,593 Zone 1 + 0 Zone 2) The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received April 14, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the stream impacts and riparian buffer impacts described are covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3494 and 3366. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 3 and the Nationwide Permit 33 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit, unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification. 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. 1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. 2.) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or riparian buffers.

N 3.) Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 4.) The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. 5.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. 6.) 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. 7.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 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.) There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct'impact from road construction activities. 10.) Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. 11.) Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one 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 low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. 12.) If the above condition (#11) is unable to be met, due to bedrock or other limiting features, encountered during construction, please discontinue activities and contact the NCDWQ for directions on how to proceed. 13.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened 14.) The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts. 15.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions. 16.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1. 17.) 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. 18.) For 147 linear feet of stream at Site 1, and 39 feet of stream at Site 2, being impacted due to site dewatering activties, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours and revegetated with native vegetation. r 19.) All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the preconstruction contours and revegetated with native woody species upon completion of the project construction. A post-construction as-built with the restoration activities included shall be submitted to the DWQ no later than 60 days after the project is closed out by the Department of Transportation. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447.

On 04/22/05 the NCDENR-DWQ approved a referenced 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) 3494 and 3366 to correspond with a Nationwide Permit 3 and 33. REVISION Site 1 of this project is currently under construction. The 04/06/05 application proposed 10 linear feet of rip rap armoring along the streambanks at both the inlet and outlet of the new pipe. However, Maintenance supervisors have advised that site conditions necessitate additional rip rap bank stabilization along the inlet of the new pipe. Two trees (one on either side of the stream) within the footprint of excavation must be removed and therefore we propose to stabilize these affected areas with the additional rip rap. Total rip rap now proposed includes 35 feet along the banks of the new pipe inlet. This additional rip rap does not increase surface water impacts as previously permitted (as all activity falls within the construction limits as described in the 04/06/05 application). By copy of this letter we are not requesting a modification but would like to provide a revised permit drawing for your files.

Construction at Site 2 involves the replacement of a 48 inch CMP that is 37 feet long. The NCDOT proposed to replace the pipe with two lines of 66 inch x 51 inch CMPs that are 60 foot ling. The DWQ issued a 401 WQC and riparian buffer rule authorization on April 22, 2005. The USACE has not issued a Section 404 NWP at this time. The NCDOT Division 5 Bridge Unit has informed me that they have revised the sizing of the replacement structure. We now propose to replace the existing pipe with one line of 95 inch x 67 inch CMP that is 60 feet long. This revision does not appear to warrant a permit modification. The fill in surface water or riparian buffer impact will be revised based on the revised pipe size. The only issue that changes is the decision to go with one line of pipe that is 95 inch x 67 inch.

As noted in the email, the structure originally proposed in the permit application was two lines of 66" x 51" corrugated metal pipe arches that are 60 feet long. The Department has decided that a more appropriate structure is one line of 95" x 67" corrugated metal pipe arch that is also 60 feet long. This revision will reduce impacts to the channel by not changing the pattern, dimension or profile of the stream above and below the structure. So, there is no new revised permit drawing for submittal as the fill in surface waters remains the same. However, I have attached the permit drawing with a note in the corner stating the revised pipe size. This should close our discussion concerning this site. Again, the Department is grateful for your continued help in discussing this and similar issues.

Subject: Re: NCDOT projects in Wake County From: Christina Breen <christina.breen@ncmail.net> Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 13:50:35 -0400 To: Chris Murray <cmurray@dot.state.nc.us> CC: Nicole Thomson <nicole.thomson@ncmail.net>, rob.ridings@ncmail.net, "Heather W. Montague" <hwmontague @dot. state.nc.us>, Dallie Bagwell <dlbagwell@dot.state.nc.us>, "Ricky E. Greene" <rgreene @ dot.state.nc.us> The 3 Wake County Pipe replacements SR 2754, SR 2329, SR 1160 as currently proposed will require written concurrence from our office because they do not meet Condition 10 of NW 3/WQC #3376. Division of Water Quality requires that pipes of this size be buried one foot below stream bed and the text of the transmittal letter states "the outlet of the proposed structure will be located inside the limits of this blowhole, making it impractical to bury the pipe one foot in the stream bed." Unless the project plans change 7 copies of the PCN will have to be submitted with the appropriate fees. Should you have any questions please feel free to contact myself at the number below or my supervisor John Hennessy at 733-5694. Chris Murray wrote: Christina, Heather Montague has just let me know that you had called her concerning some permit applications that were supplied to your office in the last week. These are pipe replacement projects to be done in Wake County by the Bridge Maintenance Unit. The issue had to do with bedrock in the stream. I did the field work for these pipe replacement projects and wanted to provide you with some additional information. During the site visits, it was apparent that surficial bedrock was noted immediately upstream and downstream of the existing pipes. The existing pipes are small in size, extensively deteriorated (i.e. rusted out), and have to be lengthened to comply with our current construction regulations. The information concerning bedrock was supplied in the permit applications to make your office aware of the existing stream conditions. There is never any geotechnical assessment done in the streambed prior to any of this work. It is simply a field assessment that is passed on as information in the permit application. However, this does raise the potential issue concerning burial of pipes in the streambed. If bedrock or hard rock is encountered during installation of the pipe, we notify the agencies (i.e. DWQ, USACE and NCWRC) immediately, as there is always the issue concerning proper pipe burial in the stream. The Department can never be truly sure what will be encountered within the footprint of the pipe project until we dewater the site and begin excation. We have previously been advised from DWQ that they do not want us to blast using dynamite to bury the pipes in the bedrock. We typically try to chip away at the bedrock with on-site equipment that allows some burial in the stream bed/bedrock. We then follow up with the agencies concerning what was encountered during construction. If you have any additional questions, please contact me by email or at 560-6851.

These are pipe replacement projects to be done in Wake County by the Bridge Maintenance Unit. The issue had to do with bedrock in the stream. I did the field work for these pipe replacement projects and wanted to provide you with some additional information. During the site visits, it was apparent that surficial bedrock was noted immediately upstream and downstream of the existing pipes. The existing pipes are small in size, extensively deteriorated (i.e. rusted out), and have to be lengthened to comply with our current construction regulations. The information concerning bedrock was supplied in the permit applications to make your office aware of the existing stream conditions. There is never any geotechnical assessment done in the streambed prior to any of this work. It is simply a field assessment that is passed on as information in the permit application.

EASLEY GOVERNOR April 6, 2005 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27609 Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator A.14 9A? ?O °%p .! 6 cNv LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY WBS Element: 5B.2092 ^ S ?' STAT IO# 9800374 WBS Element: 513.2092 -__S?-4e 2 STAT IO# 9800375 Subject: Proposed maintenance improvements to structures at two sites conveying unnamed tributaries to Black. Creek on SR 2754 (Kennebec Road) in Wake County. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace pipes at two sites conveying unnamed tributaries to Black Creek on SR 2754 (Kennebec Road) in Wake County (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Information concerning this activity is provided below: Impacts to Waters of the United States Maintenance activities at these sites will impact unnamed tributaries to Black Creek [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-45-(1), Best Usage Classification B NSW; HUC 03020201] (Figure 3 and Figure 4) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structures at each site are undersized and have resulted in a blowhole at each outlet. The outlet of the proposed structures will be located inside the limits of these blowholes, rrhking is impractical to bury the pipes one foot in the stream bed. Additionally, both sites have noticeable amounts of bedrock within the channels which may also hinder proper pipe burial. NCDOT hydraulics unit has indicated that the increase in diameter of the proposed structures will reduce the water velocity and cause sediment to accumulate in the blowholes and eventually fill up over time to match the surrounding stream beds. Site 1 - Waters of the U.S. The existing structure conveying this perennial stream is a 36-inch corrugated metal pipe that is 32 feet long (Photographs 1 and 2). The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a 16'6" x 6'8" corrugated aluminum arch box culvert with headwalls that is 45 foot long. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the construction of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek 120 feet upstream and 27 feet downstream of the existing structure. Please note that the extra distance on the upstream side is proposed in order to use an existing weir Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 2 location for positioning the sandbags (See Photograph 1). The placement of the sandbags will not result in impacts to the riparian buffers surrounding the mapped Partins Pond. Once the. stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. Permanertiinpacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure involve a total of 13 feet of surface water fill and 20 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 3 weeks. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 147 linear feet of stream (33 feet plus an extra 114 linear feet for placement of the sandbags upstream at the weir). The sandbags will be removed after construction. Site 2 - Waters of the U.S. The existing structure conveying this perennial stream is a 48-inch corrugated metal pipe that is 37 feet long (Photographs 3 and 4). The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a double line of 66 x 51" corrugated metal pipe arches that are 60 foot long. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the activity at this site. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek 10 feet upstream and 10 feet downstream of the existing piped section. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure involve a total of 23 feet of surface water fill and 16 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 5 days. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of 39 linear feet of stream. The sandbags will be removed after construction. Riparian Buffer Site 1 -Buffer Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is not subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream at this crossing is an unmapped overflow channel for Partins Pond. Please note that the weir is at the northern edge of the pond dam and the placement of sandbags at this location will not result in any impacts to the riparian buffers. Therefore no impacts to protected riparian buffers are proposed at this site. Site 2 - Buffer Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The unnamed perennial tributary to Black Creek at Site 2 is depicted on the most recent version of the Angier (USGS 1964/1981) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) as well as the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2). Construction impacts at this site total 2,593 ft'` in Zone 1 and zero ft'- in Zone 2 (totaling 39 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 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. 3 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: Unavoidable impacts to 36 linear feet of stream associated with this project will be mitigated (at a 2:1 ratio) by providing 72 linear feet of warm water stream restoration equivalent in the Neuse River Basin (Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03020201). All compensatory mitigation requirements will be assimilated on a quarterly basis and provided to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for their acceptance with a copy provided to the USACE for verification and accounting purposes. 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 January 29, 2003, 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). Partins Pond is adjacent to Kennebec Road but does not provide foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The open area surrounding these sites do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker.. These UTs to Black Creek are heavily silted and do not provide suitable habitat for mussel' fauna. Additionally, the roadway shoulders along Kennebec Road are heavily maintained, eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the 03/03/05 site visit, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species. Summary The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structures at Site 1 and Site 2. Both sites will be dewatered temporarily during construction. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek upstream and downstream of construction. Once the streams have been dewatered, the pipes will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the Site 1 associated with the replacement of the structure total of 13 feet with 20 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. Permanent impacts at the Site 2 associated with the replacement of the structure total of 23 feet with 16 feet of rip rap placed along the streambank to protect the structure. Construction at Site 1 site involves a road crossing of a stream that is not subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream at this crossing is an unmapped overflow channel for Partins Pond. Please note that the weir is at the northern edge of the pond dam and the placement of sandbags at this location will not result in any impacts to the riparian buffers -therefore no impacts to protected riparian buffers are proposed at this site. Construction at Site 2 involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. Construction impacts total 2,593ft2 in Zone 1 and zero ft- in Zone 2 (totaling 39 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at Site 2, this crossing is EXEMPT. 4 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.

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 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. 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. 72 ft of stream restoration by payment in the Ecosystem Enhancement Program 2.
