Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 2338 (Tommy Baker Road) from SR
2339 (Rosinburg Road) to begin edge of pavement in Wake County. WBS
element SC.092110.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade and pave
SR 2338 (Tommy Baker Road) from SR 2339 (Rosinburg Road) to begin edge of pavement
in Wake County (Figures 1-3). Total project length is 0.281 miles. Transportation and
highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7, 136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-
44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work programs for construction and
maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes specifically set forth requirements for
annual construction and paving of existing unpaved roads. Paving of these roads is
performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT for each unpaved road within a
given county. This number is based on characteristics of each road, including number of
homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries, recreational facilities, traffic counts,
presence of school bus routes, and value as a thoroughfare. SR 2338 is scheduled to be
paved as part of the Secondary Roads Construction Program.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Site 1 -Waters of US
Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to Moccasin Creek
[NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-86-2, Best Usage Classification C NSW; HUC 03020203]
(Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure conveying the creek is a 36-inch
reinforced concrete pipe that is 33 feet long (see Photographs 1 and 2). This pipe will be
replaced with a 112" x 75" corrugated metal pipe arch that is 60 ft long. Permanent impacts
at the site associated with the pipe replacement total 27 linear feet of fill in surface water in
addition to a total of 20 feet of rip rap along the stream banks. The work zone at this site will
be temporarily dewatered for approximately 3 days. This will involve the temporary
placement of sandbags upstream and downstream at the construction impact limits. Once the
Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704
Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]

stream has been dewatered, the new pipe will be set. Temporary concurrent impacts to the
stream from this activity will result in dewatering 47 linear feet of stream, plus an additional
9 feet downstream for a grand total of 56 linear feet. Please note that the location of
sandbags downstream was selected due to narrowing of the stream at this location. The
materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Also please note that the
soil survey indicates the presence of hydric soils (Wy -Worsham sandy loam) at this
crossing. However no wetland areas exist within the project limits at Site 1. Therefore, this
project proposes no impacts to wetlands.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
Site 1 -Buffers
The construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the
Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. The unnamed perennial tributary to Moccasin Creek at Site 1 is
depicted on the most recent version of the Bunn West (1968/1923) topographic quadrangle
(Figure 1) as well as on the Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS 1970) (Figure 2). Site
totals include 2,882 ft`' in Zone 1 and 1,890 ft` in Zone 2 (totaling 47 linear feet of riparian
buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is
ALLOWABLE.
Waters of the U.S./Riparian Buffer 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 Miti ag tion: Unavoidable impacts to 27 linear feet of stream (surface water
fill) associated with this project will be mitigated (at a 2:1 ratio) by providing 54 linear feet
of warm water stream restoration equivalent in the Neuse River Basin (Hydrologic
Cataloging Unit 03020203). All compensatory mitigation requirements will be assimilated on
a quarterly basis and provided to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for their
acceptance with a copy provided to the USAGE for verification and accounting purposes.
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 May 2007, there are four federally protected species listed for
Wake County. They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterdori), and Michaux's
sumac (Rh~~s michairxii). Tommy Baker Road is not adjacent to open water suitable to
provide foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The dense mixed hardwood stands surrounding
these sites do not offer suitable forging or nesting habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker. This

3
UT to Moccasin Creek at Site 1 is a small stream and does not provide suitable habitat for
mussel fauna. The roadway shoulders along Tommy Baker Road are either heavily
maintained or overgrown, eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this
area. Additionally, a review of the Natural Heritage Program database (last updated Spring
2007) revealed no occurrences of protected species within the project area. Therefore, based
on lack of suitable habitat observed during the OS/ 15/07 site visit and the NHP database
review, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species.
Historical Compliance
NCDOT has requested approval of this project from the State Historic Preservation Office. In
a letter dated March 28``', SHPO indicated the presence of a structure (WK 1897 Baker
House) of historic or architectural importance within the general area of this project and
SHPO recommended that a NCDOT architectural historian identify and evaluate any
structures over fifty years old and report the findings to us (see Appendix One). NCDOT has
asked SHPO for details regarding the exact location of the Baker House so that we may
provide additional information on whether or not our project may have an effect on this
structure. All information pertaining to this discussion will be forwarded to your office as it is
gathered.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 2338 (Tommy Baker Road) in Wake County.
Permanent impacts, associated with surface water fill and rip rap used for bank stabilization
are proposed to Waters of the United States. Additionally temporary concurrent dewatering is
proposed to the work site. The project will also involve impacts within protected buffers
within the Neuse River Basin.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Pei~nit
(NWP) 14, NWP 33, and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
No. 3404, WQC No. 3366 and Neuse River Buffer authorization for above-described
activities. An automated payment procedure has been implemented between the NCDOT and
NCDWQ. This procedure will enable the Division to apply for the 401 WQC without
submitting a check for this permit application. This procedure will provide payment to the
NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee of $200.00 directly to the appropriate
NCDOT WBS element SC.092110. Apre-construction notification is attached with this
request. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Heather
Montague at [phone].

listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

construction Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands
and surface waters will be enforced durin¢ construction Only the smallest amount of fill
necessar~to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States.
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 January 15, 2002, 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
Page 5 of 8

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 NCEEP 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/ncwetl ands/strmgide.html.
