Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1152 (Holly Springs Road) from
edge of pavement on SR 1152 to edge of pavement on SR 1152 in Wake
County. NCDOT Work Order No. 6.402152.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade
and pave SR 1152 (Holly Springs Road) from edge of pavement on SR 1152 to edge of
pavement on SR 1152 in Wake County (Figures 1-3). Total project length is 1.5 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 1152.is scheduled to be paved in the 2002-2003 Secondary Roads
Construction Program.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Site 1-Station 25+18-L-
The project crosses an unnamed perennial tributary that flows to White Oak Creek
in the Cape Fear River Basin (Best Usage Classification of C, NCDENR-DWQ Index
No. 18-7-6). The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 24-inch concrete pipe that
is 28 feet long.

The replacement structure at the stream crossing is a 54 inch corrugated steel pipe
that is 60 feet long. An additiona154 inch corrugated steel pipe that is 60 feet long will
be placed approximately 4 feet from the above-mentioned pipe (and out of the flow line
of the tributary to White Oak Creek) which will serve as a floodplain pipe (Figure 3).
Permanent impacts at the site associated with the replacement of the structure and
minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure aze <0.01 acre fill in 'surface water and
521ineaz feet existing channel impacted.
The decision to place these structures at the site is based on a NCDOT evaluation
of the peak discharge for the structure design (which is based on the latest USGS
Regression Equations for the 25 yeaz storm). The results indicate that a lazger pipe size is
necessary to convey the peak dischazge. The dischazge is based on potential residential
development on this rural road in the neaz future, which increases it compazed to the
current discharge. The proposed structures aze designed to handle this peak discharge
such that the headwater elevation will not overtop the road. The difference in elevation
between the stream bed and the existing centerline elevation does not allow room
necessary to fit the necessary single line and achieve adequate cover. Therefore, two
structures will be placed at this site (please note that only one structure will be placed in
the existing stream channel of the tributary to White Oak Creek and the other structure
will be placed in the floodplain).
Dewatering
Site 1-Station 25+18-L-
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the perennial stream at this site
during the construction of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of
sandbags or Class B or Class 2 rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel
approximately 10 feet upstream of the proposed pipe inlet and approximately 10 feet
--___. __
downstream of the proposed pipe outlet (Figure 3). To maintain water flow during
construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out
and conveyed downstream of the impervious structure. The stream will be dewatered for
approximately 1 week. This will result in temporary impacts to the surface water.
Temporary impacts to the stream at this site from this activity will result in the
dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 521ineaz feet stream channel. The sandbags or
rip rap covered with filter fabric will be removed after construction.
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 neaz surface waters.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the
Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts at this site. The amount

of rip rap placed along the stream bank has been reduced to the amount that is only
necessary to provide for streambank stabilization. All efforts will be made during
construction to reduce the amount of rip rap at the jurisdictional site.
Compensatory Miti ag tion: 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 impacts will not be provided for this project.
Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened,
Proposed endangered ad Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7
and Section 9 of the ESA. As of January 29, 2003, there are four federally protected
species listed for Wake County. They include bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus),
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauzii), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and
red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides boralis). Biological Conclusions of No Effect have
been rendered for each species.
Historical Compliance
Historic compliance work to be scheduled and concurrence with Historic
Preservation Office will be obtained if required.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 1152 in Wake County. Permanent
impacts at Site 1 include <0.01 acre fill in surface water and 521inear feet existing
channel impacted. Temporary impacts to the stream at Site 1 will result in the dewatering
of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 52 linear feet stream channel.
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water
Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3375 and No. 3366. Apre-construction notification is
attached with this request. If you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact me at [phone].

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
unnecessary encroachment during construction. The side slope of the jurisdictional site has been
steepened to the maximum extent possible. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for
the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during construction. Onlv the
smallest amount of fill necessary, to complete the~roject 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 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

Attention: Mr. John Dorney
Coordinator
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1152 (Holly Springs Road) from
edge of pavement on SR 1152 to edge of pavement on SR 1152 in Wake
County. NCDOT Work Order No. 6.402152.
Reference: NCDOT permit application (Apri13, 2003)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to complete
secondary road improvements to SR 1152 (Holly Springs Road) from edge of pavement
on SR 1152 to edge of pavement on SR 1152 in Wake County. Construction of the
project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States. Application was made for
a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 and
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3375 and WQC
3366 by permit application dated Apri13, 2003.
An automated payment procedure has recently 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 new procedure will
provide payment to the NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee directly to the
appropriate NCDOT work order.
The NCDOT work order for this project is 6.402152. Project impacts are less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 1501inear feet
cumulative impacts to streams; therefore, please note that a fee of $200.00 is required for
this project. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me
at [phone].
Sincerely,
