Impacts will be to multiple unnamed tributaries` for the purpose of replacing and/or extending existing pipes in anticipation of secondary road paving scheduled for next year as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on December 7, 2004. The location of the project is State Road 1631 (Stikeleather Road) in Alexander County. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Numbers 3404 and 3366. This certification corresponds to Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 33 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 in the attached certification and those listed below: No stream determinations performed.

Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures 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. The cross vane weirs shall be constructed and 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 the location of the cross vane weir. The structure shall be designed and installed to allow for fish and other wildlife movement as well as prevent headcutting of the stream. The applicant may be required to provide evidence that the equilibrium has been maintained, if requested in writing by the DWQ. 3. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark and vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water mark. 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 hydroseeding mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is strictly prohibited. 11. 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. 12. 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. Page 3 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504.

DENR - WATER QUALI VYETLANpBAND8Tt7RMgUl9 H STATE of NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MICHAEL F. EASLEY DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY November 30, 2004 Mr. John Hennessy Division of Water Quality 401/Transportation Permitting Unit 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, N. C. 27699-1650 SUBJECT: Pipe replacements/extension on SR 163 1 (Stikeleather Road), Alexander County Dear Mr. Hennessy: The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests authorization to replace two existing cross pipes and extend a third crosspipe on SR 1631(Stikeleather Rd) in Alexander County. The crosspipes are located on an unpaved secondary road that is to be paved next year. At Site #1 (St 35+50), NCDOT proposes to extend an existing 32-foot, 18" CMP to a length of 48 feet (16-foot extension). The crosspipe carries stormwater flow only. It appears that a seep/spring begins at the existing pipe outlet and flows through an intermittent channel. The site is non jurisdictional upstream of the existing pipe. The pipe extension will be laid upon a bed of #5 stone to allow the spring to continue to flow under the pipe to the downslope intermittent channel. Due to the anticipated high stormflows from the adjacent agricultural land and the slope of the pipe (-100/o), it is necessary to place a 5 foot riprap apron, which will be embedded into the streambed, at the pipe outlet in an effort to prevent erosion. At Site #2 (St. 41+70), a 36-foot, 95"a 67" CMPA will be replaced with a 50-foot, 84" CMP with inlet headwall and 20 feet of associated riprap for struchrre stabilization. At Site #3 (St 83+00), a 36-foot, 42" CMP will be replaced with an 80-foot, 48" CMP with inlet headwall and 20 feet of associated riprap for structure stabilization. The pipes at sites #2 and #3 will be buried one foot below the existing streambed elevation based upon the thalweg profile. The pipe at site #3 is perched approximately 4 feet with a large scour hole at the pipe outlet. The streamgrade upstream and downstream of the pipe is -31/o. It is necessary to place the new pipe on 51/o-6% grade to meet the pipe burial requirement. Stream headcutting/ downcutting is a concern at this site; therefore, a series of three cross- vane weirs (spaced - 5 feet apart) will be installed both upstream and downstream of the pipe at specific elevations in an effort to control the streambed grade and prevent stream destabilization. (See enclosed sketches for elevations). The pipe at this will be extended past the existing scour hole. The existing pipes must be lengthened to bring the road up to paved road standards during next year's road paving project on SR 1631. Temporary cofferdams and bypass pumping will be utilized at sites #2 and #3 to manage the streamflow during pipe installation. "Stream" management is not necessary at site #1 since the jurisdictional area is located only on the downstream end of the pipe. The scope of the work will result in 74 linear feet of pipe fill, 55 feet of riprap impacts (this includes riprap used for structure stabilization and crossvanes) and 40 feet of temporary impacts from the cofferdams to three, separate, unnamed tributaries to Elk Shoal Creek (East side), which is classified as WS-IV Waters by the Division of Water Quality. r, SR 1631, Stikeleather Road Page 2 The proposed project is located in Class WS-IV watershed; however, it is not located within ''/z mile of any critical watershed area, nor is SR 1632 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 and WQC#3366 for temporary impacts and dewatering. I have enclosed a PCN application, sketches of planned activities, and a location maps relative to the project.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:Existing _Conditions -pipes on unpaved secondary road. General Land Use-predominately wooded and pasture land. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The upcoming road paying project consists of the upgrade of the road with minimal alignment changes. There will be two pine replacements and a pipe extension done in advance of the road paving project. At Station 35+50, it appears a spring originates under the existing road with a jurisdictional intermittent channel only on the downstream end of the pipe. The existing, 32-foot, 18" RCP will be extended 16 feet. The crosspipe will carry stormwater flow only. The pipe extension will be laid upon a stone bed to allow the spring to continue to flow from under the pipe to the downslope intermittent channel. At St. 41+70, a 36-foot, 95" x 67" CIVIPA will be replaced with a 50-foot, 84" CHIP with inlet headwall and associated r prap for structure stabilization. At St. 83+00, a 36', 42" CNT will be replaced with an 80', 48" CUT with inlet headwall and associated riprap for structure stabilization. The pipe at this location is currently perched -4 feet. To meet the pipe burial requirement, the pipe will be on a >5% grade. Stream headcutting/downcutting is a concern at this site; therefore, three cross-vane weirs in series will be installed both upstream and downstream of the pipe in an effort to control the streambed grade and prevent stream destabilization. Work will be done using _typical heavy construction equipment: bulldozers, pans, backhoes, rollers, and pavers. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed work is to replace and extend existing pipes for next years ars upgrade of the unpaved road to current paved road standards. Constructing the new road to paved road standards will require a wider shoulder, which will necessitate the longer pipe lengths at the three stream crossings. 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. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable).

The application date for the bridge replacement was 3/7/02. The USACE authorization (Action Id. 200230624) for a GP 31 was issued 4/4/02 and expired 12/31/02, therefore, a reverification of the expired permit authorization was necessary, and was requested 2/6/03. The USACE reverification authorization (Action Id. 200330467 & 200330468) for a NW 14 & 33 was issued 3/10/03 with an expiration of 3/10/05. The DWO Certification (DWO Project No. 020356) was issued 3/25/02. The authorizations/certification authorized 80 linear feet of a double line of 96" culverts and 40 linear feet of riprap impacts on Elk Shoal Creek. Page 3 of 9 V.

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. To construct the road to current paved road standards during next year's road project, it is necessary to increase the current pine len hs to provide for adequate roadway shoulder and fill slope Due to the topography and the existing perched pipe condition at site #3, it is anticipated that stream headcutting or downcutting may occur. The pipe is perched -4 feet with a large scour hole at the outlet and the existing grade upstream of the pipe is -3%. A series of three crossvanes in series(- 5 feet apag) is to be placed at specific elevations upstream and downstream of the pipe (See enclosed sketches for elevations). The crossvanes should control the grade of the stream in the vicinity of the pipe and prevent the headcutting upstream of the pipe and downcutting downstream of the pipe The pipe at Site #3 will be extended past the existing scour hole. The pipe at site #1 is a crosspipe for stormwater only. The pipe extension will be laid on a bed of #5 stone to allow the spring to seep through the stone under the pipe and flow to the adjacent channel Due to the anticipated high stormflows from the adjacent agricultural land and the slope of the pipe (-10%), it is necessarv to place a_riprat) apron embedded into the streambed at the outlet in an effort to prevent erosion. Page 6 of 9 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/stnngide.htmi. 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. IMPACTS < 150 FEET• MITIGATION NOT ANTICIPATED 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/w!P/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): Page 7 of 9 IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ® No ? If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ? No If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ? X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying multipliers. Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Mitigation 1 3 2 1.5 Total Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. If buffer the buffer If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260. NA Page 8 of 9 XL Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation control measures will be in place at each stream during the replacement/extension of the pipe. XU. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
