Good morning!
Please find the attached revised permit application for the above bridge replacement. After the original permit approvals were secured, a redesign in the
temporary onsite detour bridge structure necessitated a need to revise the project impact limits. Both temporary and permanent stream impacts have
increased in addition to a slight increase in the temporary wetland impacts. Hand clearing impacts, however, were reduced in the redesign.
I've only attached the revised maps and PCN as the other documentation in the original submittal is still valid. Please don't hesitate to call me with any
questions or concerns.
Thank you!

The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated April 16, 2015. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3886.
This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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.
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 NCDWR and submit a new application. [f 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 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). Additional buffer impacts may require compensatory mitigation
as described in 15A NCAC 02B .0295. For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed
in the attached certification(s) and any additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s) of Certification:
Project Specific Conditions
1. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures or other construction aids must return the
project site to its preconstruction contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be revegetated with
appropriate native species. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
2. As a condition of this 40l Water Quality Certification, the bridge demolition and construction must be
accomplished in strict compliance with the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices for
Construction and Maintenance Activities. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5)]
3. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across the
bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated
buffers, etc.) before entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best
Management Practices. [ I SA NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b) (5)]
4. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles (hammer or vibratory) or drilled shaft
construction methods. More specifically, jetting or other metho�s of pile driving are �rohibited without prior
written approval from the NCDWR first. [ 15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
5. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface
waters. This water shall be captured, treated, and disposed of properly. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3)
General Conditions
1. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters
and streams shall 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 streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream
and downstream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the
equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWR. If this condition is unable to be met
due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWR for
guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
[ I SA NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
2. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall
not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and
fish kills. [15A NCAC 02B.0200]
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. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]

4. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified.
Disturbed floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. [ I SA NCAC
02H.0506(b)(2)]
5. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for
stream stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede
aquatic life passage. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)] • �
6. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit
drawings submitted for approvaL [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and
(�)(2)l
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP
measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual
such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water. [ 15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
8. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. [ I SA NCAC
02H.0506(b)(3)]
9. 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.
[ l5A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
10. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by
this certification. [ISA NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
11. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is prohibited. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b,)(3)]
12. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct.its activities in a manner consistent with State
water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the
Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If the NCDWR
determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or
achieved use) or that State or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to
assure compliance, the NCDWR may reevaluate and modify this certification. [15A NCAC 02B.0200]
13. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless
otherwise authorized by this certification. [ I SA NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
14. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained 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. [ I SA NCAC 02H .0507(c) and 15A NCAC
02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)]
15. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing
activities. Impacts to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this
certification. [ 15A NCAC 02H.0501 and .0502]
16. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local,
state, and federal) having jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater
management rules, soii erosion and sedimentation control requirements, etc. �

Division Engineer (or appointee) shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion

Form" to notify the NCDWR when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed: [15A
NCAC 02H.0502(�]
19. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished in the riparian areas within the construction limits of the
project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction.[15A NCAC
02BA267(10)]
20. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated
with this permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to
waste or borrow sites, be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since
that is a direct impact from road construction activities.[ 15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
21. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the
proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to
protect surface waters standards [ 1 SA NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3) and (c)(3]):
