PUBLIC NOTICE
FRANK COLEMAN AND ASSOCIATES, 4101 North Boulevard, Suite D, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27604, has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO
PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN LITTLE BRIAR CREEK AND STIRRIP IRON CREEK TO EFFECT
CONSTRUCTION OF A SECTION OF SOUTHERN PARKWAY-IN DURHAM, Durham County, North
Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the proposed construction of six crossings of creeks and/or
adjacent wetlands during construction of the four-lane divided highway from
Miami Boulevard (S.R. 1959) in Durham to U.S. 70 in Wake County. The typical
roadbed will include a top width of 120 feet, two 24-foot-wide paved lanes,
and fill side slopes of 2:1. Site "1-C" involves the discharge of 710 cubic
yards of fill material below ordinary high water (OHW) into Little Briar Creek
and its adjacent wooded wetlands. A total of 0.78 acre of water and wetlands
will be filled during construction of the 175-foot-long, 200-foot-wide fill
causeway through the area. The creek will be relocated into 235-foot-long,
9 by 8 reinforced concrete box culverts (2) through the fill, and carried by
an 18-foot-wide, 90-foot-long tail ditch from the fill to the original
streambed.
The second site'(No. 2 on plans) will require the placement of 650 cubic
yards of fill below OHW into approximately 800 linear feet of an unnamed
tributary to Little Briar Creek. The stream will be relocated into an
approximately 400-foot-long, 6-foot-wide riprap channel immediately north of
the fill and then carried through the fill by a 260-foot-long, 72-inch
reinforced concrete pipe. High ground occurs to either side of the stream
along the length of this worksite. Construction at Site 3 will involve the
placement of 2,400 cubic yards of fill below OHW in an unnamed tributary to
Little Briar Creek and its adjacent wetlands. The present stream, ill-defined
and draining through a previously disturbed wooded wetland, is to be relocated
into 176-foot-long, 54-inch concrete pipes (2). As proposed, approximately
0.77 acre of wetlands will be filled during construction of the 180-foot-wide,
170-foot-long crossing.
The work at Site 4 will involve construction of an additional two lanes
immediately north of an existing roadbed over an unnamed tributary to Stirrip
Iron Creek. Approximately 350 cubic yards of upland fill will be placed below

-2-
OHW in the stream and its adjacent wetlands during construction of the 55-
foot-wide, 60-foot-long crossing. The stream is to be relocated into an
approximately 135-foot-long, 10-foot-wide channel and then carried through the
fill by 73-inch by 55-inch (2) concrete pipe arches. The existing road
crossing at Site 4 was accomplished under authorization of a nationwide permit
in our regulations (33 CFR 330.5).
The crossing at Site 5 will involve the discharge of 6,400 cubic yards of
fill material into 0.87 acre of wooded wetlands on a tributary to Stirrip Iron
Creek. The wetland crossing, approximately 180 feet wide and 190 feet long,
will include 172-foot-long, 72-inch pipes (3) to carry flows through the fill.
Fifty cubic yards of soil are to be excavated immediately upstream of the fill
to provide for improved flow into the pipes. In addition, 140 tons of riprap
are to be placed in the stream and its adjacent wetlands immediately
downstream of the fill for stabilization. Construction at Site 6 will require
relocation of approximately 200 feet of stream off Stirrip Iron Creek into 180
linear feet of 8-foot by 9-foot box culverts (2). Riprap is to be placed in
the streambed for a distance of 100 feet downstream of the fill. High ground
occurs along both streambanks the length of this worksite. The purpose of the
proposed work is to provide for construction of a multi-lane highway facility
to serve the public and planned area development. Plans showing the work are
included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.

-3-
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and.
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
March 3, 1987.

Dear Mr. Mills:

Enclosed is the application of Frank Coleman and Associates
for a Department of the Army permit and a State Water Quality
Certification to place fill material in Little Briar Creek and
Stirrup Iron Creek to effect construction of a section of Southern
Parkway in Durham, Durham County, North Carolina. Your receipt of
this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for
certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorization of the proposed activity
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have
determined that a water quality certification may be required
under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department
of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has
been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is considered a
reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if your office has
not acted on the request by March 16, 1987, the District Engineer
will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ken Jolly,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
t ha W. Ho is

Dear Sir:
'A ill 1' 2. 1987,.
Enclosed please find one copy of application for permit to
place fill in wetlands as required under section 404 of the
Clean Water Act. Also enclosed are drawings indicating the
extent of proposed work within jurisdictional wetlands and a
listing of applicants and adjacent riparian property owners
for each site.
The four applicants propose.to jointly construct a new 4-lane
divided highway from Miami Boulevard (SR-1959) in Durham
County, N.C., to US-70 in Wake County. It has been
determined that the proposed corridor will involve six
crossings of wetland areas. The North Carolina Division of
Highways is participating in the cost of this project and
will take over future maintenance responsibilities after
construction.
As consulting engineers for this project and serving as
attorney-in-fact Frank Coleman and Associates will act as
agent for the several applicants. Therefore, please direct
future correspondence to this office. Verification of
authority for Frank Coleman and Associates to act on behalf
of the applicants will be forwarded to you under separate

been shifted some 190 feet upstream, and is denoted as site
1-C.
By copy of this letter to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management, we are requesting Water Quality
Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

March 13, 1987
Colonel Paul W. Woodbury
Corps of Engineers
P. 0. Box 1890
Wilmington, NC 28402
Dear Colonel Woodbury:
S. Thomas Rhodes, Secretary
In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested
state review agencies U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice
SAWC087-N-032-0177 dated January 22, 1987 describing a project proposal by Mr.
Frank. Coleman and Associates of Raleigh. The project, involving the placement
of fill material and culverts in wetlands at several stream crossings for the
purpose of constructing a new highway section known as Southern Parkway, is
located in Durham and Wake Counties. The project runs between Miami Boulevard
in Durham to Highway 70 in Wake County.
It is the finding of the Department of Natural Resources that the project
is in the public interest. The Department, therefore, interposes no objection
to the alignment of the Southern Parkway provided that reasonable mitigation
and environmental safeguards are followed during construction. It is
requested that the following recommendations that were submitted by
cooperating state agencies be made a part of the Federal permit: 1) the
amount of wetlands impacted by the project be created under a 2 for 1
mitigation program; 2) all culverts be set below grade so as to provide for
fish passage and so that culverts bottoms will develop an approximation of an
natural substrate; 3) avoid widening and straightening streams above and below
culverts so that there is no loss of stream length and so that stream
sinuosity and roughness coefficient is maintained.
Additionally, we would like the record to show that 1) a Sedimentation
and Erosion Control Plan must be submitted by the applicant to the Raleigh
Regional office of the Department unless the project is covered by the D.O.T.
and Sedimentation and Erosion Control Commission agreement; 2) the applicant
should follow through, if he has not already done so, in providing the
Division of Archives and History with all necessary reports from the
archaeological survey which reportedly has been carried out; 3) and finally,
for your information, the Division of Environmental Management issued Section
401 Water Quality Certification No. 2037 for this project on March 5.

Dear Colonel Woodbury:
This letter is in reference to SAWC087-N-032-0177, a
proposal to place fill material in Little Brier Creek,
Stirrup Iron Creek,_and unnamed tributaries in Wake and
Durham Counties, North Carolina, in support of a 404 permit
' application to facilitate construction of the proposed
Southern Parkway.
The applicant and I met with L.K. (Mike) Gantt and
Ries Collier of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service on March
9, 1987 to discuss constraints on previous FWS
recommendations and to offer new proposals.
a

I

The applicant is agreeable to the conditions specified
by FWS in their letter of March 12, 1987 regarding
culverts, wetland creation, and creation of new streambed
habitat, and all other conditions specified or implied. The
applicant herein offers technical details of the mitigation
plan for approval of FWS and incorporation into the permit
conditions.
Thank you for your prompt consideration of this
matter. The applicant wishes to thank Ken Jolly of your
office, Ries Collier of FWS, and Don Baker of WRC for their
cooperation and assistance in helping us to meet the
requirements and goals of the agencies, and to remain
within the time and cost constraints of the project.
Sincerely yours,

1. CULVERTS.
Culverts along the six stream crossings of Southern
Parkway will be emplaced below grade to facilitate fish
passage during normal water flow, to function as pools
during periods of low flow, and to avoid altering current
velocity upstream, downstream, or within the structure.
Culvert bottoms may be roughened at a future date, if
hydrologic conditions demand, and if required by U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service, to maintain stream flow without
downstream erosion and to facilitate attachment and growth
of invertebrate animals (Guidelines for Mountain Stream
Relocations in North Carolina, Wingate et al., N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission, 1979, 11 p.).
2. WETLANDS.
The landowners will donate acreage for new wetland and
new streambed habitat within those wetlands. The North
Carolina Department of Transportation will provide funds
and/or labor necessary to meet project objectives.
Wetland creation and stream habitat replacement is
based on the development of two parcels, one on each
principal drainage. The first parcel is located south of
the proposed Southern Parkway, between stations 2 and 1A of
the environmental assessment, on the Little Brier Creek
drainage. The Little Brier Creek parcel contains a total of
2.2 acres adjacent to the north side of existing wetland.
The second site is south of station 6 on the Stirrup Iron
Creek drainage, and occupies 1.5 acres adjacent to the west
side of existing wetland.
The same procedure will be followed at each site.
Capped water table monitoring wells, punched with post-hole
diggers and piped with PVC tubes, will be installed at
appropriate intervals along the lower portions of the
sites, adjacent to existing wetlands. The wells will be
periodically inspected to determine the seasonal location
and degree of variation of the water table. That
information will be used to assure that grading is
conducted when the water table is low and labor costs will
be minimal, and to assure that the table is high during the
critical (fall or winter) planting period.
Grading surveys will be conducted for horizontal and
vertical grading control at each site. Excavation will
extend below the average water table by 2', after which the

3. STREAMBEDS.
New streambed habitat will be created to replace
streambed habitat taken by culverts and by diversion. These
new streambeds will be emplaced on wetland created for the
Stirrup Iron Creek drainage and that created for the Little
Brier Creek drainage.
1 In order to divert flow to newly created streambed
channels, existing streambed channels located on
adjacent wetlands will be blocked off with plugs at
upstream locations. Meanders of the new channels will
closely approach, and should eventually merge with,
portions of the old channels. The newly created streambed
footage will equal or exceed the sum of streambed footage
lost to culverts and diversion.
The newly created Little Brier Creek wetland will be
excavated to provide 2,700' of new streambed to replace
900' of natural channel and 1,300' of channel taken by
culverts. The new channel will vary in width, and contain
29 sharp meanders and a series of riffles and pools at
locations to be established during construction.
The newly created Stirrup Iron Creek wetland will be
excavated to provide 1,040' of newly created streambed to
replace 520' of natural channel and 380' of channel taken
by culverts. The new channel will vary in width, and
contain nine sharp meanders and a series of riffles and
pools at locations to be established during construction.
r The new streambeds will be one to three meters below
new wetland ground level, with.45- to 60-degree sloping
banks. This depth and angle will allow retention of water
within stream banks and allow wildlife unimpeded access to
the stream.
' The channel beds will contain durable rocks of
sufficient weight to resist transport by spring floodwaters
(Fish Habitat Improvement Handbook, T.B. RE-TP7, January,
' 1985, for U.S. Department of the Army, Forest Service,
Southern Region).
Single wing deflectors, rock sills, and rock and
boulder dams will be incorporated into the artificial
streambeds to promote and maintain meanders, riffles and
pools. All are low-flow channel structures which should not
impede highwater flows, yet will supply the hydraulic
pressures to accomplish habitat objectives.
Single-wing deflectors channelize stream flow to
create currents and eddies and otherwise oxygenate the
flow. They promote meanders and contribute to deep channels
