EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY July Ol, 2004 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office pp r~ 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 ~ ' . ~ ,4 ~ 9 ,G Raleigh, NC 27609 Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer NCDOT Coordinator Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1128 (Tom Oakley Road) from SR 1129 (Frank Timberlake Road) to end of pavement in Person County. WBS element SC.073015 for $200.00 401 WQC fee. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade and pave SR 1128 (Tom Oakley Road) from SR 1129 (Frank Timberlake Road) to end of pavement in Person County (Figures 1-4). See Appendix One for photographs of each site and Appendix Two for USACE Wetland Delineation forms/DWQ rating sheets. Total project length is 0.75 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 1128 is scheduled to be paved in the 2004-2005 Secondary Roads Construction Program. Impacts to Waters of the United States Site 1 27+36) -Waters of US Construction at this site will impact an unnamed perennial tributary to the South Flat River (NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-3-3, Best Usage Classification WS-III NSW) (Figure 3) in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 72-inch corrugated metal pipe that is 30 feet long. (see Appendix One for Photographs 1 and 2). This pipe will not be replaced. However, twelve feet of pipe extensions will be Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 2 added to both the inlet and the outlet ends of the existing pipe. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the pipe extensions and minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the extensions include 441inear feet existing channel impacted. The Site 1 work zone will be temporarily dewatered for approximately 5 days. This will involve the temporary placement of impervious dikes in the creek at the upstream and downstream limits of construction. The impervious dikes will be sheet piling, sandbags, or fabric and stone depending upon site conditions and availability of materials during construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe extensions will be positioned into place. To maintain water flow during construction, water upstream of the impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out and conveyed downstream of the impervious structure. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity will result in dewatering 44 linear feet of stream. The materials used for the impervious dikes will be removed after construction. Site 2 (39+98) -Waters of US Construction at this site (Figure 4) will have no temporary or permanent surface water impacts. However, fill within a herbaceous drainage way wetland is anticipated at this site. An existing structure that conveys drainage waters through this wetland area will be replaced. The existing structure is a 15-inch reinforced concrete pipe that is 28 feet long. (see Appendix One for Photographs 3 and 4). The replacement structure is an 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe that is 52 feet long. The fill associated with grading and reworking of ditches within the proposed 60 ftright-of--way and rip rap used to protect the new structure will result in 1,128ft' (<0.03 ac) of fill in this drainage way wetland system (see Appendix Two for USACE Wetland Delineation forms/DWQ rating sheets). Riparian Buffer Impacts Site 1 (27+36) -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 the South Flat River at Site 1 is depicted on the most recent version of the Timberlake (1981) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) and the Soil Survey of Person County (USDA-SCS, 1984) (Figure 2). The NCDOT proposes to install temporary erosion and sediment control devices in Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the riparian buffer. Specifically, the NCDOT will place temporary rock silt checks (Type A) and temporary silt fence in Zone 1, with temporary rock sediment dam, Type B in Zone 2. The temporary structures will be removed once the vegetation has been established and then seeded with a seed mixture of fescue and Bahia grass. Please note that the placement of these structures are within the 60 right-of-way width and their associated impacts total 673 square feet in Zone 1 and 152 square feet in Zone 2 (totaling 44 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is ALLOWABLE. Site 2 (38+98) -Buffers No surface water (only wetland) impacts are proposed at this site. Therefore, no impacts to riparian buffers will occur at Site 2. ,. J } -- .. ,-..~, C..--.t. _.

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: 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 buffer 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 is one federally protected species listed for Person County: dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon). Based on a no observation survey conducted on 06/17/04 by NCDOT biologists Neil Medlin, Jared Gray, Jason Mays, and Mike Sanderson, a Biological Conclusion of No Effect-Not Likely to Adversely Affect has been rendered for this species. Historical Compliance This project has been screened by all pertinent parties to ensure historic compliance. Summary NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 1128 (Tom Oakley Rd) in Person County. Impacts are proposed to Waters of the United States including surface water fill and fill in wetlands. In addition impacts to the riparian buffers within the Neuse River Basin are proposed. Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, NWP 33, and NCDENR-DWQ Section 40l Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3404 and WQC No. 3366 for above-described activities. Application is also made for a Neuse Buffer Certification for impacts at Site 1. 4 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 of $200.00 directly to the appropriate NCDOT WBS element SC.073015.
