The project shall be construc[ed in accordance with your application da[ed received November I I, 2016. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covzred by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3886. This certification wrresponds to the Nationwide Permi[ 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. In
addition, you should acquire any other federal, s[ate or local pertnits before you proceed with your project including
(5ut not Gmi[ed to) Sedirr,ent and Grosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This
approvai will expire wi[h [he accompanying 404 permit.
This approval is valid so!ely for the pi.rpose and design described ir. your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the NCDWR 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 fumre) exceed one acre, or of total
impacu to sireams (no�,� cr in the fuwre) excced 150 linear feet, compersatory mitigation may bc required as
described in I SA NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
cenditioes lisiad i� the aitaehad cenificatiur.fsi and ary additio�:al ccndi:i�n; listed be�ew.

Condition(s) of Certification:
Project Specific Conditions
1. As a condition of this 401 Water Quality Certification, the bridge demolition and construction must be
accomplished in strict compliance with the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Managemer.t Practices
for Construction u.,d Main�enar.cz Activitiea. [] SA NCAC 02H .050?(d)(2) ar.� 15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(5)]
° 2. 'I'he cu�vert shall be rlesigned to mimic r.atural stream cross section as clasely as possible including pipes
or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream channel should be
avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of stnactures typically decreases water
velociiy causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
[15A I`T�AC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
3. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that
precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized
and installed. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
4. For the 51 linear feet of streams being impacted due to site dewatering activities, the site shall be graded to
its preconstruction contours and revegetated with appropriate native species. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
5. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the
maximum extent practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to
vegetation responsible for maintaining the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for
access to stream channel shall be temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species. [15A NCAC
02H.0506(b)(2)]
Generai Conditions
-: 3. Jnless oti;erwise approved in tiiis certificaiiun, piacernet�� oi culve��ts a�id other structures in open waters atid
streams shall'�e placed below the elevatian.of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diamete� greater
than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert �iameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow
. low. flow passage of water and aquatic life. llesign and placement of culverts and other structures including
temporary erosion contrrol measures shall not'ue conducted in a ma�uier tiiat 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 oth�r limitir.g features encountered durinb construction,
*�lease contact NCDWR for guidance on how to nroceed and to determine wherher or not a permit modification
will be required. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
2. .If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curir.g concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts un�ured 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]�
3. During thz construction of the projcct, no stagin� of e�uipment o: any kind is permitted in waters af 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 an� srceams shall be restored to natural geamorphic conditions. [15A 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 stceam
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.

submitted far�arp; oval. � 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c) and ? SA NCAC 02H .0506 (�;)(2) an� (c)(2)]

7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from
- t'r�e most current version of NCDOT Construction and ivlaintenance Activities mar�ual 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 sha?1 be operatecl fram the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to miaimize
sedin:er.tati.cr_ and reduce t,'�e i�t�.cduct;en of ot�er pollutants into the sream. [15A NCA� C2H.05�6�b)(3)]
_ 9. All. mechanized equipment. cperated near� surface waters must be regiilarly ins�ecte� and rr�aintained to prevent
contaminatior, of strea�r. waters from :uels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other taxic materials. [i5A PdCAC

10. No rock, sand or other mate:ials shall be dredged from the stream channel ex:,ept where authorized by this
certification. [15A �l�AC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
11. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters
is prohi�ited. [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 fi•oni compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act} and any
other appropriate requrements of S±ate and Feder�l 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 ny this certification. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
