SUBJECT: NWP 3 and WQC # 3687 request in order to replace crossline under SR 1734
(Kenmetal Drive) in Halifax County.
Dear Sirs:
I
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace 24"
crossline under SR 1734 with a 48" crossline and riprap the outlet end of pipe to stop
scour due to pipe being perched. Due to sewer conflict under current pipe the inlet will
have to be moved from current location and a new 25' base ditch will be cut through
wetlands to tie into existing flow line. For full explanation see page 3 section 3e of PCN.
This activity proposes to permanently impact a total of 301inear feet of stream channel
downstream of crossline and 120 sq ft ofi wetland. The NCDOT anticipates that this
maintenance activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit 3 (NWP 3). This
application is also intended as a request for wnfetraut pion from the NC Division of
Water Quality to proceed with crossline under Gen al Water Quality Certificate # 3687
(NWP 3).
No sites eligible for listing on the National Regi I ter occur within the area of potential C"o Pd?
effect. This project will not affect listed or eligible historic properties.

2b. Water Quality Classification of nearest receiving water: C
2c. River basin: Roanoke
3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Small forested encompassed in an industrial park. Stream fed primarily from commercial runoff and is very flashy.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Replace existing crossline that is under sized and perched which is causing channel to downcut and undercutting
crossline
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Use mechanical highway equipment working from current roadway to replace one fine of 60'X 24" RCP with one line of
70' X 48" HDPE. Inlet of pipe will be skewed more in order to match existing channel and avoid sewer line conflict that
would occur due to upsized pipe This will require anew channel to be cut tote into existing drainage feature. This new
channel will be a 1 foot base ditch with 2:1 slopes which closely resembles existing channel. Also outlet end is now
perched by about 5 feet The new pipe will be bigger as well as buried 20% on inlet in however outlet end will probably
remain perched by about 1.5 ft. Therefore we also request riprap to be placed along the stream bed and banks in order
to stabilize outlet thus protecting stream and roadway from scour.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
We chose to move pipe away from Utility conflict in order to upsize pipe to coned size based on drainage area and get a
better pipe burial depth in order better match stream bed elevation. However pipe will still be slightly perched and will
therefore require riprap in the stream bed and banks in order to stop down cutting and erosion.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Water will be performed in the dry probably during dry period when channel is not flowing. Strict enforcement of Best
Management Practices for sediment and erosion control, the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced.

B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A
1 TNW) AND TI'S ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Repairer have been met
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), I.e. tributaries that typically flow year=round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section MDZ If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section IRDA.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly (abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands; the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD coven a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section MBA for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section 11LR3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section ]TLC below.
