TROGDON, III SECRETARY November 9, 2017 Brad Shaver (USACE) and Joanne Steenhuis (NCDWR). Mason Herndon, Division Environmental Program Supervisor Christopher Dustin, Division 3 Environmental Consultant. SUBJECT: SR 1566 Wallace Walker Road Pipe Replacement, Hurricane Matthew Emergency Repair. Duplin County NC WBS#: DF15003.2031012 (DWQ Permit Fee: $240) Dear Mr. Shaver and Ms. Steenhuis, The North Carolina Department of Transportation is planning to replace the existing one 48" CMP x�70 LF at location Lat: 35.071740 Long: -77.854294 on SR 1566 Wallace Walker Road 0.5 miles West of SR 1501 (Woodland Church Rd) with (1) @ 60" CMP x 42 LF w/Headwall (See Attached Documents). NCDOT would like to request a waiver from the burial requirements in Regional Condition 3.6.1 of the Nationwide Permit 3 and General Condition 11 of the corresponding Water Quality General Certification No. 4085. The 60" CMP will be placed on a 2% slope to provide a low flow condition. Due to the scour and the perched outlet of the existing CMP, 14 LF of rip rap will be placed on outlet end in the existing footprint of the existing 48" CMP on a 2% slope to match pipe slope and tie into existing streambed elevation to protect stream channel from scour and destabilization. (See Attached Permit Drawing). By copy of this letter and enclosures, NCDOT is requesting issuance of Nationwide 3 approval from the US Army Corps of Engineers and 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) #4085 approval from the Division of Water Resources (DWR). A method of debiting $240 to process the WQC request has been provided as noted in the subject line of this application. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact me at (910) 341-2036.

A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one-mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement, or Federally-listed species are documented near the project area. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler a�ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
