Dear Mr. Swain:
WATER SECTION
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 32 linear feet
of two (2) unnamed tributaries to Camp Creek (32 linear feet of new pipe) in order to make improvements to NCSR
1273 (Bugger Hollow Road) in Burke County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the application
dated June 29, 2004 (received July 1, 2004), including the environmental commitments made in the application
letter. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification No. 3404, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In
addition, you must 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 in writing 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 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 be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the
proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to
protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. 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 sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits
associated with the project.

c. 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.
d. Any reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
2. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best
Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or
rules occur.
3. 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 six months of the date that the Division of Land
Quality has released the project.
4. NCDOT must submit a plan for written DWQ approval to address any head cutting or associated stream
bank or riparian area that become unstable, should it occur, resulting from this project. Any repair designs
must be submitted to and receive written approval from the NCDWQ before the repair work is performed.
5. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the brook and
brown trout-spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
NCDOT shall comply with any other conditions or moratoriums requested by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission.
6. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the
growing season following completion of construction.
7. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to
the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams.
Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater
diffuse flow.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the culverts should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. Any disturbed active floodplain benches
and stream channel should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions, to the extent practicable.
9. Culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of
their size to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch diameter or larger should be buried at
least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established in
the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. This may
require increasing the size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes
are perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is
topographically unfeasible.
10. Removal of vegetation at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams should be minimized. Native trees and
shrubs (e.g. Rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple)
should be planted along the streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion
control in the vicinity of the road crossing and along the streams within dedicated rights of way.
11. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the streambank below the high water mark, and
vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water elevation. Any riprap used must not
interfere with aquatic life passage, during low flow conditions.
12. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and to reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
13. 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.
14. Excavation of the stream crossings and relocations should be conducted in the dry, if possible. Sandbags,
cofferdams, flexible pipe or other diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in flowing
water.
15. If concrete is used during culvert installation (e.g., headwalls), 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 fish kills.
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.E.
July 22, 2004

16. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is strictly prohibited.
17. 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. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life and disturbance
of the natural form of the stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possibly affecting
other landowners.
18. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking movement of
aquatic life.
19. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone
except for permitted areas associated with culvert conditions.
20. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions (below bankfull).
21. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ 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 NC
Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. NCDOT is strongly advised to send in
photographs upstream and downstream of each structure to document correct installation.
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, which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.
Sincerely,
Alan W. limek, P.E.

State Project No. 13C.012029(DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Burke County, NC
Dear Mrs. Pennock:
I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed project on SR 1273, Bugger
Hollow Road, Burke County, NC.
Bugger Hollow Road is currently a 14-16 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways
plans to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be
light.
We propose to extend two existing culverts on UT's to Camp Creek. Total culvert
extensions will be 32 linear feet. No stream relocation will be performed for the project.
Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the
culvert. The culverts will be placed below existing streambed elevation. Riparian
vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with the culvert
extension. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers
prior to entering streams.
No effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their habitats is
anticipated.

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 existine secondary road must be improved to meet current safety standards for paved
roads. The culvert extensions requested are the minimum necessary to establish an appropriate
typical section for the roadway. Riparian vegetation will be established on disturbed areas
associated with the project construction.
VIII. Mitigation - N/A
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
Page 5 of 8
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://l12o.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.
N/A
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http:/!h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:

Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
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.
The existing compacted gravel roadway acts as an impervious surface. Paving of the roadway
should eliminate sedimentation from fines associated with gravel surface treatment. The
roadway surface will be 40% of right of way acreage. Stormwater will be diverted through
settling basins or grass lined buffers prior to entering the streams.
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)- N/A
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No X
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No X
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
With regard to hazardous spill basins, the road is not classified as an arterial route, therefore
hazardous spill basins are not required.
