Box 25201, Raleigh, NC 27611-5202 GOVERNOR PHONE- 919- 733 -2520 April 17, 2013 Mr. Monte Matthews U. S. Army Corps of Engineers ?0/ 109 TONY TATA SrCRETARY Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 105 27; 0 1 3 0 4 2 3 Wake Forest, NC 27587 Subject: Nationwide Permit 414 SR 1362 (Waterwheel Road) Yadkin County, North Carolina Project Number: 1 IC.099077 (DWQ Permit Fee: $240) Dear Mr. Matthews: The NC Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base and pave SR 1362, Waterwheel Road in Yadkin County. Total project length is approximately 0.75 miles. Impervious surface area will increase by about 036 acres This project will require the replacement of one wet pipe carrying an intermittent spring. The bridge at station 14 +00 will remain. Impacts are shown below: Stream impacts: 12 +58 18 "x 35' 18 "x 50' 10 40 65 --T - Permanent Fill /Riprap Impacts = 25 feet fatal project Impacts ° 65 feet The replacement of the above noted wet pipe will require temporary dewatering. An impervious sandbag dike will be constructed upstream of the existing culvert to create a small pool. It is possible that the dike alone will hold the spring back. If not, clean water will temporarily be pumped around the construction area and will be discharged downstream. Any dirty water located inside of the constriction area will be pumped into a silt bag if necessary. Once the new P. O. Boaz 250, N WILKESBOR0, NC 28659 PHONE (336) 667 -9111 FAN (336) 667 -4549 Mr Monte Matthews SR 1362, Waterwheel Road, Yadkin Page 2 April 17, 2013 pipe is in place, the impervious dike will be removed and preconstruction streambed elevations will be restored. The wet pipe at station 12 +58 carries a low flow UT to Williams Creek (Class: C). This project was reviewed for the presence of threatened and endangered species on March 27, 2013. This project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal species. Historic compliance work will be scheduled and concurrence with the State Historic Preservation Office will be obtained if required. The project impacts are not significant in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Stormwater will be routed through grass or rock lined ditches, depending on the ditch line slope. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. By utilizing the erosion control measures outlined in the attachments to this application, downstream water quality standards will be protected. Overall water quality in the area will be improved by paving the ABC travel lanes. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets with proposed erosion control measures, a marked county map, a marked topography map and photographs By copy of this electronic letter, it is requested that Mrs. Marla Chambers with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me. By copy of this electronic letter, it is requested that the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, issue the appropriate permit for construction of this project. It is requested that any comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to me with a copy sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers. We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please let me know. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.
