In addition to the Section 404 Conditions, Regional Conditions and State Consistency,
NCDOT s guidance for Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters,
General Certification Conditions, and Section 401 Conditions of Certification, NC DOT has
agreed to the following special commitments
Division Four/Local Programs Management Office
In accordance with NCDOT's Pedestrian Policy, sidewalks will be provided along a
portion of this project if the City of Goldsboro provides a written commitment to participate in
the cost of the sidewalks and to assume responsibility for maintenance and liability This
commitment must be received prior to the final field inspection for the project A municipal
agreement will be prepared for the sidewalks and must be executed prior to construction
Division Four/Hydraulics Unit
Existing US 13 from south of Royall Avenue to Hill Drive Circle is located within the
100 year floodplam for an unnamed tributary to Billy Creek (FEMA has identified this stream
as Billy Bud Creek) The existing pipes carrying the stream under US 13 will be replaced with
either a 2 @ 7 foot x 5 foot reinforced concrete box culvert or a 2 @ 87 inch x 63 inch
corrugated steel pipe arch with headwalls Coordination with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency will be conducted prior to construction of this project in order to determine
whether the project will require a conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR) for the stream
crossing
This project involves construction activities on or adjacent to FEMA - regulated stream(s)
Therefore, Division Four shall submit sealed as built construction plans to the Hydraulics Unit
upon completion of project construction, certifying that the drainage structure(s) and roadway
embankment that are located within the 100 -year floodplain were built as shown in the
construction plans, both horizontally and vertically
The Hydraulics Unit will coordinate with the NC Floodplam Mapping Program (IMP), to
determine the status of the project with regard to applicability of NCDOT' S Memorandum of

From dust south of Hill Drive Circle to New Hope Road, US 13 is a four -lane undivided
roadway with approximately 50 feet of pavement and curb and gutter along the eastern side
This section of US 13 is four lanes wide, but with two through lanes in the northbound direction,
a center turn lane, and one through lane in the southbound direction No sidewalks exist along
this portion of US 13
3 Structures
Two 54 -inch corrugated metal pipes carry an unnamed tributary to Billy Creek under
US 13 approximately 250 feet south of Hill Drive Circle These existing pipes may be
undersized There have been flooding problems in the past upstream of this crossing
4 Rbeht of Way and Access Control
US 13 within the project area has a variable right of way width of 80 to 100 feet from
Royall Avenue to dust south of Hill Drive Circle From dust south of Hill Drive Circle to New
Hope Road, US 13 has a right of way width of 70 feet No control of access exists along US 13
within the project area
5 Intersections
All intersections along US 13 within the project limits are at -grade All but three of the
intersections are stop sign controlled The Royall Avenue intersection, a shopping center
entrance dust north of Royall Avenue and the New Hope Road intersection are signal controlled
2

6 Railroad Crossmgs
One railroad crossing exists on US 13 dust outside of the project limits The Atlantic and
East Carolina Railroad crosses US 13 at -grade approximately 40 feet south of Royall Avenue,
between Royall Avenue and SR 1709 (Central Heights Road) This railroad crossing is
signalized
7 Existing Bicycle Accommodations /Sidewalks
There are no existing exclusive accommodations for bicycles A five foot sidewalk
exists on the west side of US 13 from approximately 675 feet north of Royall Avenue to
approximately 350 feet south of Hill Drive Circle
B Uhhhes
There are overhead power lines on the west side of US 13, and poles with lights on the
east side There is an underground gas line that crosses US 13 dust south of Hill Dnve Circle
There is a fiber optic cable located on the west side of US 13
C School Bus Data
Seven school buses use US 13 within the project limits twice daily
D Traffic Volumes and Capacity Analysis
1 Predicted Traffic Volumes
The 2008 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) along US 13 is estimated to range from 14,000 to
17,000 vehicles per day (vpd) The projected 2035 ADT along US 13 is estimated to be between
24,300 and 33,900 vpd
2 Level of Service Without Proposed Proiect
The effectiveness of a roadway to service traffic demand is measured in terms of level of
service (LOS) Level of service is a qualitative measure describing the ability of a facility to
carry traffic and how individual users perceive traffic conditions It is based on factors of speed,
travel time, comfort, maneuverability, interruptions, convenience and safety Levels of Service
range from A ' to "F ', with A" representing free flow (ideal conditions), and "F" representing
forced or breakdown flow (undesirable condition)
Currently, portions of US 13 between the US 70 Bypass interchange and New Hope Road
(SR 1003) operate at Level of Service (LOS) E (capacity) If no improvements are made, this
section of US 13 is expected to operate at LOS F in the design year 2035
3

3 Level of Service With Proposed Proiect
If US 13 is widened to a five lane curb and gutter section, and the recommended
improvements are provided, this facility should operate at a LOS D or better through year 2035
E Accident Record
A crash analysis was conducted for the subject section of US 13 for the time period
between June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2009 During this period, a total of 105 crashes were reported
along this section No fatalities occurred during this study period
Frontal impact crashes accounted for 43% (45 out of 105) of all crashes and were
primarily concentrated at driveways and intersections Crashes at driveways accounted for 47%
(21 out of 45) of the total frontal impact crashes The large volume of traffic along US 13 was
also a contributor to these crash types - - -
Rear -end crashes accounted for 45% (47 out of 105) of all crashes and were primarily
concentrated at intersections These rear -end type crashes were predominately attributed to
vehicles waiting to make turns Congestion can also be considered to be a contributor to this
crash type
Table 1 below compares the crash rates of the subject section of US 13 with the statewide
average and the critical rate

F Adiacent Proiects
Other TIP projects near the subject project are listed below
• U -3609B (Improve US 13 from SR 1003 (New Hope Road) to SR 1705 (Hood Swamp
Road)) Right of way acquisition and construction for this project are both unfunded in
the 2009 2015 STIP
R -2554 (US 70 Goldsboro Bypass from west of NC 581 in Wayne County to east of
SR 1323 (Promise Land Road) in Lenoir County) This project is divided into several
smaller projects for right of way acquisition and construction The portion of the
proposed US 70 Bypass from SR 1300 to east of SR 1556 (TIP Project R- 2554BA) is
currently under construction Right of way acquisition is underway for the portion of the
bypass from west of NC 581 to SR 1300 (TIP Project R- 2554A) TIP Project R- 2554BB
is the section of this project that intersects US 13 (Berkeley Boulevard) However, this
section intersects US 13 at the northern end of the improvements proposed under
U 3609B Construction for R -2554A and right of way and construction for the remaining
portions of the bypass are unfunded in the 2009 -2015 STIP
• B 4942 (Replace Bridge Number 121 on SR 1702 over West Bear Creek) Right of way
acquisition and construction for this project are both unfunded in the 2009 -2015 STIP
This project lies approximately two miles east of the subject project, and approximately
one mile south of TIP Project R- 2554BB
III PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
A Roadway
A right turn lane will added to southbound US 13 at Royall Avenue US 13 from dust
south of Hill Drive Circle to New Hope Road will be widened to a five -lane curb and gutter
section with two through lanes in each direction and a center turn lane (see Figure 2)
Figure 3 shows the proposed typical section for the project
B Structures
The project crosses an unnamed tributary to Billy Creek Two 54 -inch pipes carry this
stream under US 13 These pipes will be replaced with either a 2 @ 7 foot x 5 foot reinforced
concrete box culvert or a 2 @ 87 inch x 63 inch corrugated steel pipe arch with headwalls
Either of these improvements could reduce upstream flood potential (See Section V -D )
C Right of Way and Access Control
Approximately 10 feet of additional right of way, for a total of 80 feet of right of way,
will be required along the west side of US 13 from dust south of Hill Drive Circle to New Hope
5

Road in order to accommodate the proposed additional lane and sidewalk Temporary easements
may be required, as well No control of access is proposed for this project
D Bicycle Accommodations /Sidewalks
No exclusive bicycle accommodations are proposed for the project New sidewalks will
be constructed as a part of this project if the City of Goldsboro agrees to participate in the cost
and accept maintenance and liability for the sidewalks in accordance with NCDOT s Pedestrian
Policy Sidewalks would be provided along the west side of US 13 from Royall Avenue to
approximately 675 feet north of Royall Avenue and from approximately 350 feet south of Hill
Drive Circle to New Hope Road
In accordance with NCDOT s Pedestrian Policy, the requested new sidewalks will be
provided along this project if the City of Goldsboro provides a written commitment to participate
in the cost of the sidewalks and to assume responsibility for maintenance and liability
Goldsboro would be required to pay 30 percent of the cost of the sidewalks This commitment
must be received prior to the final field inspection for the project A municipal agreement will
be prepared for the sidewalks and must be executed prior to construction
E Mamtenance of Traffic
Traffic will be maintained at all times during construction of the proposed project Lane
closures may be necessary during project construction, but will not be permitted during periods
of peak traffic volumes
IV ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION
A Build Alternatives
1 US 13 Five -Lane Section Widenmg
Widening the existing four -lane section to a five -lane section will match portions of
Berkley Boulevard south of the project and will improve the capacity of southbound US 13 while
only requiring minimal additional right of way
2 US 13 Four -Lane Divided Faghty Widenmg
Widening US 13 to a four -lane median divided facility was considered NCDOT has
recognized the benefits of implementing medians when improving arterial facilities However,
the scope and budget of this project was intended to improve US 13 to a multi -lane facility while
mimmizing project costs The additional costs associated with a raised median were determined
to be beyond the scope of this project
T

B "No- Build" Alternative
The no -build ' alternative is the least expensive alternative from a construction cost
standpoint The "no- build' alternative also avoids the anticipated adverse effects of the proposed
project However, if the `no- build" alternative was chosen, none of the project's benefits would
be realized Because of the project's capacity benefits for traffic utilizing US 13 in the project
area, the "no- build" alternative is not recommended
V ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF PROPOSED ACTION
A Cultural Resources
The proposed project is subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of
1966, as amended Section 106 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their
undertakings (federally funded, licensed, or permitted) on properties included in or eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and to afford the Advisory Council a
reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings
In a letter dated February 23, 2009, the State Historic Preservation Office stated they were
aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project It is not anticipated the
project will affect any historic resources listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic
Places
B Section 4(f) /Section 6(f) Resources
Section 4(f) of the U S Department of Transportation Act of 1966 specifies that publicly
owned land from a public park, recreation area, wildlife and waterfowl refuge, and all historic
sites of national, state, and local significance maybe used for federal projects only if a) there is
no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of the land, and b) the project includes all possible
planning to minimize harm to 4(f) lands resulting from such use
This project will not impact any resources protected by Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act of
1966 as amended
Section 6(f) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 stipulates that
property acquired or developed with the assistance of the Fund may not be converted to a use
other than public recreation unless suitable replacement property is provided No properties
acquired or developed with the assistance of the Land and Water Conservation Fund exist in the
project area
7

C Natural Resources
1 Water Resources
a Streams, Rivers, Impoundments
The project is within the Neuse River Basin There is only one stream of concern, an
unnamed tributary to Billy Creek, which belongs to river basin NEU 05, classification C NSW,
index number 27 -62 -3
The project study area is located within the Neuse River basin The Neuse Riparian
Buffer Rules apply to a 50 foot wide riparian buffer directly adjacent to surface waters within the
Neuse River Drainage Basin depicted on either the most recent USGS topographical quadrangle
or soil survey maps Therefore, impacts within 50 feet of the unnamed tributary to Billy Creek
would have to adhere to the Neuse Buffer rules
b Water Ouahty
All the streams and unnamed tributaries in the project area have been assigned a best
usage classification of C by the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Class C waters are
suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and
agriculture No water resources classified as High Quality Waters (HQWs), Water Supplies
(WS -I or WS -II), or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) are within one mile of the project
study area
Point source dischargers throughout North Carolina are permitted through the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program No point source dischargers have
been identified within the project vicinity
c Summary of Anticipated Effects
It is expected the replacement of the 54 inch pipes with a larger drainage structure will
affect an additional 43 feet of the unnamed tributary to Billy Creek
Roadway construction in and adjacent to water resources may result in water quality
impacts Clearing and grubbing activities near the water will result in soil erosion which may
lead to increased sedimentation and turbidity in streams
Removal of streamside vegetation will have a negative effect on water quality The
vegetation typically shades the water's surface from sunlight, thus moderating water
temperature Streambank vegetation also stabilizes streambanks and reduces sedimentation by
trapping soil particles
Construction activities adjacent to water resources increase the potential for toxic
compounds (gas, oil, and highway spills) to be carried into nearby water resources via
precipitation, sheet flow, and subsurface drainage
E:3

In order to minimize impacts to water resources, NCDOT Best Management Practices for
the Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly enforced during the entire life of the project
2 Wetlands (Waters of the U S )
The project study area contains two small jurisdictional wetland areas (see Figure 4)
One is to the east of US 13, within a wooded area between Warrick Circle and Caudill Avenue,
and the other is to the west of US 13 No impacts to either wetland will occur as a result of
project construction
3 Perrrnts Required
It is anticipated a Section 404 Nationwide Permit Number 14 -3 will be required for the
project A North Carolina Division of Water Quality Section 401 Water Quality General
Certification will be required prior to issuance of the Section 404 permit In addition, Neuse
River Riparian Buffer Authorization will be required from the NC Division of Water Quality for
project effects to the riparian buffer for the unnamed tributary to Billy Creek
4 Rare and Protected Species
a Federally- Protected Species
Plants and anneals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T),
Proposed Endangered (PE) and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of
Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended As of August 19,
2009, the red cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is the only federally protected threatened or
endangered species listed for Wayne County The bald eagle was declared recovered, and
removed (de listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered Species effective
August 8, 2007 The bald eagle remains federally- protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U S C 668 -668d) The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and
golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb"
The project area was surveyed for red - cockaded woodpecker in March 2009 Potential
nesting and foraging habitat does not exist within the project study area A review of the Natural
Heritage Program records indicates no documented nest sites within three miles of the project
study area Therefore, it is expected the project will have no effect on the red - cockaded
woodpecker
No habitat for the bald eagle exists in the project area Therefore, it is expected the
project will have no effect on the bald eagle
b Federal Species of Concern/State Protected Species
Organisms which are listed as Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Significantly Rare (SR)
or Special Concern (SC) by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) list of rare
9

and the North Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation Act of 1979 However, state protected
species are not protected from NCDOT activities

D Floodplams
Wayne County and the City of Goldsboro are participants in the National Flood
Insurance Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Based on the most current information available from the NC Floodplam Mapping Program
(FMP) the project will cross an unnamed tributary to Billy Creek (FEMA identifies this stream
as Billy Bud Creek) This stream crossing is in a designated flood hazard zone which is within a
limited detailed flood study reach, having a regulated 100 -year non - encroachment width
regulated as a floodway
The Hydraulics Unit will coordinate with the FMP, the delegated state agency for
administering FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program, to determine the status of the project
with regard to applicability of NCDOT' S Memorandum of Agreement with FMP, or approval of
a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and subsequent final Letter of Map Revision
(LOMR)
Division Four shall submit sealed as-built construction plans to the Hydraulics Unit upon
completion of project construction, certif}nng that the drainage structures and roadway
embankment that are located within the 100 -year floodplain were built as shown in the
construction plans, both horizontally and vertically

�tI iA
E Relocation of Residences and Busmesses
The proposed project will not require the relocation of any homes or businesses
F Minority/Low- Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 requires each federal agency, to the greatest extent allowed by
law, to administer and implement its programs, policies and activities that affect human health or
the environment so as to identify and avoid "disproportionately high and adverse" effects on
minority and low- income populations
The project study area includes a slightly higher percentage of minorities than the county
average Approximately 46 percent of the study area population is minority, compared with
approximately 39 percent for Wayne County This project will not require the relocation of any
homes or businesses
A citizens informational workshop was held for the project on August 31, 2009 (see
Section VI -A) This workshop was advertised in local newspapers and newsletters announcing
the workshop were mailed to area property owners
Through the public involvement program, citizens have been kept informed of the
proposed project Based on project studies, this project will not have a disproportionate impact
on low- income populations This project is being implemented in accordance with Executive
Order 12898
G Land Use /Farmland
All land within the project study area is zoned for commercial or light residential use
Therefore, there will be no impact on prime or important farmlands
H Traffic Noise
Traffic noise impacts are an unavoidable consequence of transportation protects,
especially in areas where there are no previous traffic noise sources A Traffic Noise Analysis
was performed utilizing the FHWA Traffic Noise Model software (TNM 2 5) to predict future
noise levels and impacted receptors along the proposed project
Twenty -four traffic noise impacts are predicted to occur with this widening project The
maximum extent of the 72 -dBA and 67 -dBA noise level contours, measured from the center of
the proposed roadway, is 57 feet and 114 feet, respectively
The traffic noise analysis also considered traffic noise impacts for the' no- build"
alternative If the proposed project is not built, 24 receptors are predicted to experience traffic
noise impacts and the future traffic noise levels will increase by approximately 5 dBA
Based on this analysis, and in accordance with the NCDOT Traffic Noise Abatement
Policy, traffic noise abatement measures are not considered feasible or reasonable for this
11

project Consequently, no noise abatement is recommended, and no noise abatement measures
are proposed due to the lack of control of access and the number of driveways along this facility
This evaluation completes the highway traffic noise requirements of Title 23 CFR Part
772 Unless a major project change develops, no additional noise reports will be necessary for
this project
In accordance with NCDOT Traffic Noise Abatement Policy, the Federal/State
governments are not responsible for providing noise abatement measures for new development
for which building permits are issued after the Date of Public Knowledge The Date of Public
Knowledge of this proposed highway project will be the approval date of the categorical
exclusion (CE) For development occurring after this date, local governing bodies are
responsible for insuring noise compatible designs are utilized along the proposed facility
I Air Ouahty Analysis
The project is located in Wayne County, which has been determined to be in compliance
with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 40 CFR parts 51 and 93 are not applicable
because the project is located in an attainment area This project is not anticipated to create any
adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area In accordance with 40 CFR 93 126, this
project is an air quality neutral project It is not required to be included in the regional emissions
model and a project level CO Analysis is not required
Mobile source air toxics (MSATs) are a subset of the 188 air toxics defined by the Clean
Air Act MSATs are compounds emitted by highway vehicles and non -road equipment
A basic analysis of the likely MSAT emission impacts of this project was conducted
However, project specific health effects of the emission changes associated with the project
alternatives cannot be predicted with available technical tools Because the estimated vehicle
miles traveled for the build and no -build alternative are nearly the same it is expected there will
be no appreciable difference in overall MSAT emissions due to project construction On a
regional basis, changes in vehicle and fuel regulations will result in emissions reductions that
will cause future region -wide MSAT levels to be lower than today
Sensitive receptors include hospitals, schools, licensed day cares and elder care facilities
These facilities are more likely to contain concentrations of individuals more sensitive to MSATs
than the general population One sensitive receptor, an assisted living facility, is located within
500 feet of the project This facility is located on the east side of US 13, south of Maplewood
Drive It should be noted that the proposed widening will occur on the west side of US 13
Travel lanes on US 13 will not move any closer to this sensitive receptor with construction of
this project
J Hazardous Materials
Seven potential underground storage tank (UST) facilities were identified within the
proposed project corridor No hazardous waste sites or landfills were identified within the
12

project limits Site assessments will be conducted prior to right of way acquisition for properties
potentially containing hazardous materials affected by the project
VI COMMENTS AND COORDINATION
A Citizens Informational Workshop
A citizens informational workshop for the project was held on August 31, 2009 Over 50
persons attended the workshop Property owners in the area were notified of the meeting by
informational flyers distributed by mail and advertisements in the local paper
Concerns heard at the meeting included drainage problems along US 13 and right of way
issues Other attendees asked about adjacent projects

4 Any anticipated bank stabilization associated with culvert installations or extensions should be addressed in the
Categorical Exclusion (CE) document It is understood that final designs are not determined at the time the CE is
developed However the CE should discuss the potential for bank stabilization necessary due to culvert installation
General Project Comments
1 The environmental document shall provide a detailed and itemized presentation of the proposed impacts to
wetlands and streams with corresponding mapping If mitigation is necessary as required by 15A NCAC
2H 0506(h) it is preferable to present a conceptual (if not finalized) mitigation plan with the environmental
documentation Appropriate mitigation plans will be required prior to issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification
2 Environmental assessment alternatives shall consider design criteria that reduce the impacts to streams and
wetlands from storm water runoff These alternatives shall include road designs that allow for treatment of the
storm water runoff through best management practices as detailed in the most recent version of NC DWQ
Stormwater Best Management Practices such as grassed swales buffer areas preformed scour holes retention
basins etc
After the selection of the preferred alternative and prior to an issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification the
NCDOT is respectfully reminded that they will need to demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of impacts to
wetlands (and streams) to the maximum extent practical In accordance with the Environmental Management
Commission s Rules {I 5A NCAC 2H 0506(h)) mitigation will be required for impacts of greater than I acre to
wetlands In the event that mitigation is required the mitigation plan shall be designed to replace appropriate lost
functions and values The NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program may be available for use as wetland mitigation
4 In accordance with the Environmental Management Commission s Rules { 15A NCAC 2H 0506(h)) mitigation
will be required for impacts of greater than 150 linear feet to any single perennial stream In the event that
mitigation is required, the mitigation plan shall be designed to replace appropriate lost functions and values The
NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program may be available for use as stream mitigation
5 DWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project NC DOT shall
address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the aquatic environments and any
mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts
6 If a bi idge is being replaced with a hydraulic conveyance other than another bridge DWQ believes the use of a
Nationwide Permit may be required Please contact the US Army Corp of Engineers to determine the required
permit(s)
7 If the old bridge is removed no discharge of bi idge material into surface waters is allowed unless otherwise
authorized by the US ACOE Strict adherence to the Corps of Engineers guidelines for bridge demolition will be
a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification
8 Bridge supports (bents) shall not be placed in the sti earn when possible

9 Whenever possible the DWQ prefers spanning structures Spanning structures usually do not require work within
the stream or grubbing of the streambanks and do not require stream channel realignment The horizontal and
vertical clearances provided by bridges allow for human and wildlife passage beneath the structuie do not block
fish passage and do not block navigation by canoeists and boaters
10 Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre treated through site appropriate means (giassed swales preformed scour holes vegetated buffers etc) before
entering the stream Please refer to the most current version of NC DWQ Stormwater Best Management
Practices
11 If concrete is used during construction a dry work aiea shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curing concrete and stream water Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to
surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills
12 If temporary access roads of detours are constructed the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours and
elevations Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and appropriate native woody species
should be planted When using temporary structures the area shall be cleared but not grubbed Clearing the area
with chain saws mowers bush hogs or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact
allows the area to re vegetate natuially and minimizes soil disturbance
13 Placement of culverts and other sh uctures in waters streams and wetlands shall be 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 streambeds or banks adjacent to of
upstream and down stream of the above structures The applicant is required to provide evidence that the
equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by DWQ If this condition is unable to be met due to
bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on
how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required
14 If multiple pipes or bariels are required they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and /or sills where appropi iate Widening the stream
channel shall be avoided Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases
water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage
15 If foundation test borings are necessary it should be noted in the document Geotechmcal woik is approved
under Geneial 401 Certification Number 3624/Nationwide Permit No 6 for Survey Activities
16 Sediment and erosion contiol measures sufficient to protect water iesources must be implemented and maintained
in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250
17 All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area unless otherwise approved by NC
DWQ Approved BMP measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance

21 Heavy equipment shall be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams This equipment shall be
inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels lubricants
hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials
22 In most cases the DWQ prefer s the replacement of the existing st► ucture at the same location with road closure
If road closure is not feasible a temporary detour should be designed and located to avoid wetland impacts
minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks If the structure will be on a new
alignment the old structure shall be removed and the approach fills removed from the 100 year floodplain
Approach fills should be removed and restored to the natural ground elevation The area shall be stabilized with
grass and planted with native tree species Tall fescue shall not be used in riparian areas
23 Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage Bioengineering boulders or structures should be propeily designed sized and installed
Thank you for requesting our input at this time The DOT is reminded that issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification
requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water quality standards are met and designated uses are not
degraded or lost If you have any questions or require additional information please contact Rob Ridings at (919) 733
