WATER QtlqLlry SECTION
Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Proposed maintenance pipe improvements to structures conveying
unnamed tributaries to Crooked Creek and to Lands Pond on SR 1718
(Dead Road) in Franklin County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace pipes
conveying unnamed tributaries to Crooked Creek and to Lands Pond on SR 1718
(Dead Road) in Franklin County (Figures 1 - 4). Please note that Dead Road is currently a
paved roadway and information concerning this maintenance activity is provided below:
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Site I - Waters of the U.S.
Maintenance activities at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Crooked
Creek [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 28-30, Best Usage Classification C NSW] (Figure 3)
in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 48 inch
concrete pipe that is 42 feet long with a headwall at the inlet and the outlet. Please note
that the existing structure is undersized which has resulted in a cracked headwall and a
perched pipe (about 3 feet above the streambed) with a 20 feet by 12 feet blow hole at the
outlet (Photograph 1).
The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a 60 inch corrugated metal
pipe that is 80 feet long. This pipe length is needed at this site to accommodate for the
2:1 side slopes that will be constructed to replace current headwalls. The NCDOT
proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone during the construction of the project.
This will involve the temporary placement of sheet piling in the creek at the upstream and
downstream limits of construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be
replaced. Pennanent impacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure
and minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure include 48 linear feet existing
channel impacted. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 5 days. Temporary

concurrent impacts to the stream ti*om this activity will result in the dewatering of 48 linear
feet of stream. The sheet piling will be removed after construction. Fill in wetlands is also
anticipated at this site. The till associated with the extension of the pipe on the inlet end will
result in 75 ft2 (<0.002 ac) of fill in a fringe wetland along this unnamed tributary. See
Appendix One for USACE Wetland Delineation forms/DWQ rating sheets.
Site 2 - Waters of the U.S.
Maintenance activities at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Lands Pond
[NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 28-30-2, Best Usage Classification C NSW] (Figure 4) in the
Tar-Pamlico River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 48 inch concrete
pipe that is 54 feet long. Please note that the existing structure is undersized which has
resulted in a perched pipe (about 1 foot above the streambed) with a 25 feet by 15 feet blow
hole at the outlet (Photograph 2).
The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structure with a 128 inch by 83 inch corrugated
metal pipe arch that is 60 feet long. The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work
zone during the construction of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of
sheet piling in the creek at the upstream and downstream limits of construction. Once the
stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be replaced. Permanent impacts at the site
associated with the replacement of the structure and minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the
structure includes 16 linear feet existing channel impacted. 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 16 linear feet of stream. The sheet piling will be removed
after construction. Fill in wetlands is also anticipated at this site. The fill associated with the
rip rap placed along the inlet of the proposed pipe will result in 50 ft'- (0.001 ac) of till in
this beaver pond wetland system. See Appendix One for USACE Wetland Delineation
forms/DWQ rating sheets.
Riparian Buffer
Site 1 - Buffers
The maintenance at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Tar Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules. The unnamed perennial tributary to Crooked Creek at
Site I is depicted on the most recent version of the Bunn West (USGS 1968,1973)
topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) and the Soil Survey of Franklin County (USDA-SCS,
unpublished) (Figure 2). Construction impacts at this site total 2,232 square feet in Zone 1
and 550 square feet in Zone 2 (totaling 48 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the
impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is allowable.
Site 2 -Buffers
The maintenance at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Tar Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules. The unnamed perennial tributary to Lands Pond at Site 2
is depicted on the most recent version of the Bunn West (USGS 1968,1973) topographic
quadrangle (Figure 1) and the Soil Survey of Franklin County (USDA-_SCS, unpublished)
(Figure 2). Construction impacts total 1,875 square feet in Zone 1 and 472 square feet in
Zone 2 (totaling 16 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.
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: Construction of the project will result in only minimal impacts
to waters of the United States. Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible during the design process. Due to minimal impacts,
compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts will not be provided for this
project.
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 three federally protected species
listed for Franklin County. They include dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon),
Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana), and Michaux's sumac (Rhos michauxii).
Although perennial the Site 1 stream is positioned within the headwaters of its drainage
way and the Site 2 stream is positioned within a beaver swamp system. Both of which
provide less than suitable habitat for protected mussels. The roadway shoulders at both
sites are heavily maintained from the pavement to the woods line, eliminating the
possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area. Therefore, based on the lack of
suitable habitat observed during the 08/21/03 and 02/25/04 field visits, biological
conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species.
Summary
The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing structures at each site with larger sized
pipes. Permanent impacts at the Site 1 associated with the replacement of the structure
and minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure include 48 linear feet existing
channel impacted. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will
result in the dewatering of 48 linear feet of stream. Riparian buffer impacts at Site 1 total
2,232 square feet in Zone 1 and 550 square feet in Zone 2, totaling 48 linear feet.
Penmanent impacts at the Site 2 associated with the replacement of the structure and
minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure include 16 linear feet existing channel
impacted. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in
the dewatering of 16 linear feet of stream. Riparian buffer impacts at Site 1 total 1,875
square feet in Zone 1 and 472 square feet in Zone 2, totaling 16 linear feet.

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.
All wetlands and surface waters not affected by construction will be protected from unnecessarv
encroachment during construction. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the
protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during construction. Only the
smallest amount of fill necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United
States or protected riparian buffers.
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
Page 5 of 8
agtiatic 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.
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
[phone] 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/indcx.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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
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 [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Page 6 of 8
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
(Neuse), 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. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Site 1
Zone* Impact Multiplier Required
(square feet) Mitigation
l 2,232 3 N/A
2 550 1.5 N/A
Total I 2,782 I I N/A
* Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel, Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.

2 472 1.5 N/A
Total 2,347 N/A
* Zone I 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 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 213 .0242 or .0260.
Page 7 of 8
XI. 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.
There is approximately 0.04 acre of existing impervious surface at each site. No increase in
impervious surface area is proposed at either site. Erosion and sediment control devices along
the project are comprised of temporary silt fence.
XII. 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.
The project will not generate wastewater.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
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).

Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
References: 1) NCDENR-DWQ Project No. 040602.
2) USACE Action ID. 200420910 & 200420911.
In an application letter, dated April 6, 2004 - the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) provided information on the proposal to replace pipes
conveying unnamed tributaries to Crooked Creek and Lands Pond on SR 1718 (Dead
Road) in Franklin County. On 04/28/04 the NCDENR-DWQ approved a referenced 401
Water Quality Certification (WQC) 3494 and 3366 to correspond with a Nationwide
Permit 3 and 33 issued on July 01, 2004.
REVISION
Site 1 of this project was recently constructed under emergency road closure due to
failing shoulders and collapsing roadway. The 04/06/04 application proposed replacing
the existing structure with a 60-inch pipe that was 80-ft long. However, Franklin County
maintenance had only 60 feet pipe available at the time of construction. Therefore, Site 1
pipe was replaced with a 60-inch pipe that was 60-ft long. The use of a shorter pipe has
reduced the overall jurisdictional impacts at this site. By copy of this letter we are not
requesting a modification but would like to provide a revised permit drawing for your
tiles. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms.
Heather Montague at [phone].
