L~{yN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MICHAEL F. EASLEY LYNDO T[PPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY December 7, 2007 N.C. Division of Water Quality Transportation Permitting Unit ® f~ ~-w~ ; , ~ 2321 Crabtree Blvd./Suite 250 Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 Attention: Mr. Rob Riding, NCDOT Project Coordinator Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1601 (Rock Brook Road) from SR 1600 (Antioch Road) to end of state maintenance in Granville County. WBS element 5C.039032 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade and pave SR 1601 (Rock Brook Road) from SR 1600 (Antioch Road) to end of state maintenance in Granville County (Figures 1-3). Total project length is 1.1 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 perfornied 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 1601 is scheduled to be paved as part of the Secondary Roads Construction Program. Impacts to Waters of the United States Construction at Site 1 will impact an unnamed intermittent tributary to Tabbs Creek [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 28-17-(0.5), Best Usage Classification C NSW; HUC 03020101 ] (Figure 3) in the Tar Pamlico River Basin. The existing structure conveying the creek is a 24-inch reinforced concrete pipe that is 36 feet long (see Photograph 1 and 2). This pipe will be replaced with a pipe that is 24 ft longer. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the pipe replacement total 24 linear feet of fill in surface water in addition to a total of 20 feet of rip rap along the stream banks. The work zone at this site will be temporarily dewatered for approximately 1 day, if necessary. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags upstream and downstream of construction. Once the stream has been dewatered, the new pipe will be set. Temporary concurrent impacts to the stream from this activity wiil result in dewatering 44 linear feet of stream. The materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Division ~, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919)220-4600 Fax: (S 19)560-3371 2 Riparian Buffer The pipe replacement work at Site 1 involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Tar Pamlico River Buffer Rules. This intermittent unnamed tributary to Tabbs Creek is depicted on the most recent version of the Oxford (USGS 1981/1984) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) and the Soil Survey of Granville County (USDA-SCS, 1992) (Figure 2). Construction impacts at this site total 1,653 ft` in Zone 1 and 1,208 ft' in Zone 2 (totaling 441ft of riparian buffer impacts). Please note: Two additional drainageway features have been identified that could be subject to protection under the Tar Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules (see Appendix One for photographs, mapping, and NCDWQ-Stream Identification Forms). These two features appear on the Soil Survey for Granville County, but are absent from the USGS Oxford NC Quad map (see attached mapping for these features labeled A and B). NCDOT requests your assistance in providing a buffer call on these two features. Waters of the U.S. Mitigation Avoidance: All wetlands and surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. 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 atg ion: Due to the minimal impacts proposed, no mitigation requirements are expected. Therefore, NCDOT proposes no compensatory mitigation. 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 December 2007, the dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), and harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum) are listed as federally protected species in Granville County. The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was recently delisted. The UT to the Tabbs Creek is very small, within the headwaters of its drainage system and does not provide suitable habitat for mussel fauna, nor does it provide suitable habitat for harperella. Rock Brook Road is not adjacent to nor is it surrounded by open water suitable of supporting foraging habitat for the bald eagle. The roadway shoulders along Rock Brook Road are regularly maintained from the gravel to the woods line, eliminating the possibility for smooth coneflower to exist in this area. Additionally, a review of the Natural Heritage Program database (last updated Fa11 2007) revealed no occurrences of protected species within the project area. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the 12/O~/07 site visit and the NHP database review, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each of ±hese species. I-fistorical Compliance This project has been screened by all pertinent parties to ensure historic compliance. 3 Summary Application is hereby made for a .NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3627 and riparian 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 the 401 WQC without submitting a check for this permit application. This procedure will provide payment to the NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee of $200.00 directly to the appropriate NCDOT WBS element SC.039032. Apre-construction notification is attached with this request. Per General Condition 27 [Notification provision], the USACE is not copied on this permit request. The proposed activities meet the conditions of the Department of the Army 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 involve impacts to a special aquatic site. Therefore we intend to comply with all applicable NWP conditions during construction of this project, working under NWP 14 with no notification required to the USACE. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Heather Montague at (919)220-4632. Sincerely, J.W. Bowman, P.E.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide 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. Oniy the smallest amount of fill necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States or riparian buffers. 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 Page 5 of 8 freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. 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 maybe 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. Due to the minimal impacts posed no mitigation requirements are expected Therefore NCDOT proposes no compensato miti ation. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Frogram (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): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): :~'; A Imo. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Page 6 of 8 1. Does the project involve an expenditure p~ public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ® No ^ 2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether aNEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ^ No 3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ^ No ^ X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. 1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? Yes ® No ^ 2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact (square feet) Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 1,653 3 (2 for Catawba) N/A 2 1,208 1.5 N/A Total 2,861 N/A * Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. 3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. N/A Page 7 of 8 XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed impervious level. There is 2.67 acre existing impervious surface (avg 20 foot wide gravel road, 1.1 mile protect) of the 8.0 acre project size The proposed impervious surface is the same as the original with a 20 foot wide paved roadway Therefore no new impervious surface is proposed with this protect. Erosion and sediment control devices along the project are comprised of temporary rock silt checks temporary silt basins and temporary silt fence The temporary structures will be removed once the vegetation has been established and these areas will be reseeded. XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. This protect will not generate wastewater. XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ^ No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: Up~radin~ SR 1601 will not result in additional development XV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). f Applicant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)
