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. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Ms. Heather Montague at (919)560-6081.

information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
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. 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. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 60ft
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below, for the following impacts for the purpose of
secondary road improvements to SR 1128 (Tom Oakley Road) from SR 1129 (Frank Timberlake Road) to end of
pavement in Person County.
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.

3.) 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.
