•f pipes conveying an unnamed tributary to
15 in Stovall, Granaville County. WBS element
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes the replacement of
a pipe conveying an unnamed tributary to Cirraham Branch on Hwy 15 in Stovall,
Granville County (Figure 1 - 3}. Information c4nceming this activity is provided below:
Ympacts to Waters of the United States
The project crosses an intermittent stream, UT to Graham Branch, [NCDENR-DWQ Index
No. 23-2-4-2, Best Usage Classification C; HUC 03010102] in the Roanoke River Basin. The
existing structures that convey the creak are 2@ 24-inch reinforced concrete pipes that are
48 feet long (see Photographs 1-2). These existing pipe segments have disconnected and
caused the overlaying dirt fill to collapse. The pavement above the pipe is also damaged, as
there is already a hole in the North bound lane of this roadway. The NCDOT proposes to
repiaee these pipes with one larger pipe (48-inch) that is the same length. No `new' surface
water fill will result Crom this pipe replacement work. The ends o#' the new pipe will be
armored with rip rap, not to exceed 4 linear feet on both ends. Please note that the stream
channel is completely dry at this time, so no dewatering is necessary to complete this work.
Riparian Buffer
This project is located within the Roanoke River Basin. Therefore no impacts to protected
riparian buffers will result fiom this maintenance activity,
Waters of the Y7.S. Mitigstyon
Avoidance: All wetlands and surface waters not affected by the project will be
protected from unnecessary encroachment. No stasins of construction equipment or
stbrrzge of construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters.

919-560-3371 T-901 P.003/016 F-462
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control ]3est
Management Practices far the protection of. vuetlands and surface waters will be enforced
during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces
and the Envirorunental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites.
Com~ensataty Miti as tion: A.U compensatory mitigation requirements will be left
to the discretion of the regulatory review agencies. None is anticipated.
Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
>>ndangered and proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act. As of October 2007, the dwarf wedgemussel
(Alasmidonta heterodan), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), and harperella
(Prilimniurrt nodasum) are listed as federally protected species in Cxranville County.
Please note that the bald eagle {Haliaeetus lettcocephalus) was recently delisted. The LTI'
to Graham Branch is small and within the headwaters ofits drainage system. Therefore, it
does not provide suitable habitat for mussel fauna, nor do they provide suitable habitat
for harperella. Hwy 15 in Stovall is not adjacent to nor is it surrounded by open water
suitable of supporting foraging habitat for the bald eagle. Additionally the roadway
shoulders within the pro}ect limits are highly maintained and eliminate the possibility of
smooth coneflower growing in this area. No specimens were observed during the
10/13/07 site visit. Additionally, a review of the Natural Heritage program database (last
updated July 2007) revealed no occurrences of protected species tivithin the project limits.
Therefore, based an lack of suitable habitat observed during the site visit and the l~HP
database review, biological conclusions of No Bffeet have been rendered for each of
those species.
Summary
The NCD4T proposes to replace the existing stnactures with a single Iine of pipe that is
the same length. No `new' surface water fill is proposed with this project, but up to S ft of
rip rap armoring is proposed for bank stabilization. No dewatering will be necessary to
complete this work. This project is located within the Roanoke River Basin. Therefore no
impacts to protected riparian buffers will result from this maintenance acti~~ity.
Application is hereby trade for a NC171uNR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality
Certification (WQC) No. 3627 for above-described activities. An automated payment
procedure has been implemented betv~~een the NCDOT and NCDWQ. This procedure will
enable the Division to apply for the 401 VVQC without submitting a Check for this permit
application. This. procedure will provide payment to the NC17'WQ by charging the permit
application fee of $200.00 directly to the appropriate NCDOT WBS elcrnent SC.03~035.
Apre-construction notification is attached with this request.
Per General Condition 27 [Notification provision], the USACE is not copied an this
permit request. The proposed activities meet the conditions of the l7epartment of the
Anny Section 404 Nationwide permit (NWP) 14 and the proposed impacts do not exceed
the 1/10 acre of loss of Waters of the United States. Additionally this project does not

Attach a vicinity imap clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate LTSGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is cleaziy defined. For administrative and distribution purpoGes, the

however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. D1U~Q prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. !f full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant rx~ill be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

Emergency pipe replacement (Hwy 15, Stovall, Granville County)
Subject: Emergency pipe replacement (Hwy 15, Stovall, Granville County)
From: "Heather W. Montague" <[e-mail]>
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:38:35 -0400
To: Rob Ridings <[e-mail]>
Rob-
I try not to get over excited and cry emergency unless it is
truly something that requires immediate attention. Granville
County Maintenance forces have a site just 0.26 S of the
intersection of Stovall on Hwy 15 where the existing pipes have
separated, the above dirt fill has collapsed, and the roadway
(North bound lane) has a hole in the pavement. They would like to
do this work, ASAP. The stream at this location is dry right now,
but it is a jurisdictional site. Therefore I've prepared an
application for a WQC 3627 and will fax it to you in just a
minute or so.
-The site is within the Roanoke River Basin, so NO protected
buffer impacts
-It involves replacing two existing 24-inch pipes with a new
48-inch pipe that is the same length (48ft), so NO 'new' surface
water fill is proposed
-Rip rap armoring will be used to stabilize the pipe ends, not to
exceed 4 linear feet at both ends
-No dewatering will be necessary.
If you could possibly consider this WQC today, time permitting,
and fax me an approval that would be great. I will still mail you
the original application with color photos and 4 extra copies.
I appreciate your help and apologize for the inconvenience of
this rush request.
-Heather
