EASLEY GOVERNOR August 3, 2007 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27609 Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer NCDOT Coordinator Reference: Action ID: 200421621, 200421622, dated 02/24/05 DWQ Project No. 041082, dated 07/27/04 NCDOT SRl 128 application, dated 07/12/04 LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY ~~~iu~s~-v, 3 Subject: Modification Request for additional impacts at Site 1 associated with 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. The secondary road improvements to SR 1128 (Tom Oakley Road) in Person County are currently underway. This paving project involves two permit sites. Please note that this modification request specifically addresses additional impacts proposed at Site 1. Proposed impacts at Site 2 have not changed. In the referenced application for Site 1 included the proposal to extend the existing 72in corrugated metal pipe that was 30 feet long. Twelve feet of pipe extensions were proposed at each end for a total piped length of 54 feet. However due to condition of the existing pipe, it cannot be extended and will have to be replaced with new pipe. Available metal pipe segments come in 20ft lengths and cannot be cut for structural reasons. Therefore, maintenance forces propose using 3 sections for a total of~Oft of pipe (6 feet ext than originally permitted). The dewatering length will also be increased by this Eft, but no additional rin ran ~r t,..ffP,- imna,~t~ are necessary. Please see the attached revised permit drawing and updated PCN for details on the new proposal at Site 1. Please note that the updated PCN includes these extra impacts at Site 1 and presents the new grand total for the entire project. Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919)560-6081 Fax: (919)560-3371 Permit modifications are hereby ,requested for the referenced Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, NWP 33, and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3404, WQC 1~'0. 3366, and 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 this modification without submitting a check. This procedure will provide payment to the NCDWQ by charging the permit modification fee of $200.00 directly to the appropriate NCDOT WBS element SC.073015.

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. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during construction. 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. Page 5 of 8 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 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/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Per the 02/24/05 USAGE verification, NCDOT was required to provide 48 linear feet of restoration equivalent warm water stream channel in the Neuse River Basin (HUG 03020201) associated with the permanent loss of 24 linear feet of stream. As the permanent stream impacts have increased to 30ft, NCDOT now intends to utilize EEP to meet this requirement of providing a total of 60 linear feet of restoration equivalent warm water stream, to cover the additional Eft of impacts proposed in this modification request. Z. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.

Impact Locations Stream Impacts (Linear Feet) Riparian Buffer Impacts (Square Feet) Wetland Impacts (Acres) Site 1 (STA 27 +36) 44 2,537 (1,529 Zone 1 + 1,008 Zone 2) Site 2 (STA 39+98) 0.025 (1,128 sq.ft) The project shall be constructed in accordance with your revised application dated received July 12, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the stream impacts and wetland fills described are covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3404 and 3366. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 and the Nationwide Permit 33 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit, unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification. This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 1501inear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification. 1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. 2.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless approved otherwise by this certification.

During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or,. protected riparian buffers. 4.) Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 5.) The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. 6.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. 7.) All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. 8.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. ~~ ~ : ~ The utside buffer, wetland or water boundar as well as alon the construction corridor within these -: ~ ~; .. .Q Y g •~ . ~oetrtdaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked by orange fabric fencing for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities. 10.) There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities. 11.) Pursuant to NCACISA 2B.0233(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover, sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow. 12.) Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. 13.) Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed 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 stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. 14.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened 15.) The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts. 16.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions. 17.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1. Page 3 of 4 DWQ No. 041082 18.) A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer and the on-site project manager. 19.) For 441inear feet of stream at Site 1 being impacted due to site dewatering activties, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours and revegetated with native vegetation. 20.) All protected riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the preconstruction contours and revegetated with native woody species upon completion of the project construction. Apost-construction as-built with the restoration activities included shall be submitted to the DWQ no later than 60 days after the project is closed out by the Department of Transportation. 21.) No changes to the horizontal or vertical placement of the stormwater outfall locations, the horizontal or vertical placement of the culverts, the horizontal or vertical placement of bridges, the horizontal or vertical placement of grassed swales, or the horizontal or vertical placement of open ditches is permitted without written approval from the NC Division of Water Quality 401 Wetlands Unit. In addition, no changes to the flow spreader locations or designs, preformed scour hole locations or designs are permitted without written approval from the NC Division of Water Quality 401 Wetlands Unit. Any request for changes to the referenced items above will require submittal of a modification request, with seven copies, and corresponding fees will need to be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter.
