Subject: Repair of damaged pipe structure on SR 1623 (Philo White Road) conveying Sand Creek in Granville County

Rob and Eric-

Granville County Bridge Maintenance has a cross line in need of replacement on SR 1623 (Philo White Road) at
oo
36.18288N, 78.55864W. The structure conveys Sand Creek (DWQ Index Number: 28-12; Water Classification: C NSW)
in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. The pipe structure involves
two lines of 120 inch metal pipe that are 77 feet long. There is a
20 foot section of damaged pipe structure at the inlet on the right hand side looking downstream. This damaged pipe section will

be replaced. Additionally, an aluminum headwall will be installed at the inlet.

Installation of the pipe structure and headwall will result in impacts to the stream and regulated riparian buffer. The Department

expects the following impacts:

Permanent stream loss (rip rap on banks at inlet of structure): 25 linear feet

Temporary stream impact (dewatering) at inlet side of structure: 25 linear feet (that is concurrent with rip rap on banks)

Temporary stream impact (dewatering) at outlet side of structure: 25 linear feet

Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer impacts: Less than 40 linear feet of impact.

This cross line is within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin, but the minimal activity here is EXEMPT from buffer rules. Work will
be done from the roadway with new disturbance in buffers limited to rip rap armoring on the stream banks for long
term stabilization. No wetlands exists within the construction footprint. under a non-reporting NWP
We propose to work
3 and NWP 13 with corresponding WQC No. 3883 and WQC No. 3885.

For maintenance sites such as this one, NCDOT Division 5 has a procedure in place to provide our construction crews
with print outs of the general conditions along with a letter head cover sheet explaining the intent to operate under a
non-reporting permit as long as all applicable conditions are meet. Oversight from both the Environmental Staff and REU
Field Operations Unit will ensure compliance with the permit conditions are met and that standard BMPs are followed.
Work at this site is scheduled to begin on October 6, 2014.

Please advise if you need additional information.
