Attention: Rob Ridings
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Maintenance repair activity at a failed hydraulic pipe system on Wade Avenue
(southwest of Wade Avenue and I-440 interchange) in Wake County. TIP No. R-
4436. WBS Element No. 34625. 1.1
An 18 inch concrete pipe was installed under Wade Avenue southwest of the Wade Avenue and
1-440 interchange quite a long time ago. Some type of significant failure has occurred at this site
since the installation. Several pipe segments have become detached from the hydraulic system
and the stream has now undercut approximately 20 feet below adjacent natural ground. The
NCDOT proposes to replace this failed hydraulic system. The repairs include installation of an
emergency spillway, riser basin, drop inlet, open throat catch basin, pipe structures to convey the
water and a Class I rip rap dissipater pad at the outlet of the 54 inch pipe structure.
Impacts to Waters of the United States and Riparian Buffers
The repairs will result in impacts to an unnamed tributary to House Creek (NCDENR-DWQ
Index No. 27-33-13, Best Usage Classification C NSW, 8-digit HUC 03020201) in the Neuse
River Basin. Information concerning these impacts are presented in Permit Drawing Sheets 1-4.
Stream Permanent Impacts
Construction activity will result in an impact to the stream. The impact is summarized below:
• 97 linear feet of stream impact associated with installation of the pipe segments and Class
I rip rap dissipater pad at the outlet of the 54 inch pipe structure (fill in surface water).
Rip rap will be installed in the flow line of the stream and on the streambanks.
Stream Temporary Impacts
The NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the stream in the work zone during construction
for approximately three weeks. Dewatering will be done within the limits of the stream impacts
noted above.
Riparian Buffer
Construction at this site involves the road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Neuse River
Buffer Rules. The stream is not depicted on the most recent version of the Raleigh West
Division Five-2612 North Duke Street, Durham, North Carolina 27704

topographic quadrangle (USGS, 1968, 1988) (Figure 1). However, the stream is depicted on the
Soil Survey of Wake County (USDA-SCS, 1970) (Figure 2). The NCDENR-DWQ has
previously determined that riparian buffers exist below the existing pipe outlet. Construction
impacts at this site total 5,284 square feet in Zone 1 and 2,000 square feet in Zone 2 (totaling 97
linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this
crossing is ALLOWABLE. Temporary erosion control measures will be installed as required
within the permitted buffer footprint.
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance:
Permanent impacts to the streams cannot be avoided. The existing failed structures must be
repaired.
Minimization:
The proposed rip rap on the streambanks has been minimized as much as possible while
providing the required long-term stability.
Compensatory Mitigation:
Compensatory mitigation will be provided at the request of the regulatory agencies.
Summary
Application is hereby made for a NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification
(WQC) 3687 and Neuse River Buffer Authorization. The NCDOT proposes to use Department
of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3; however, this permit does not require
submittal of a PCN to the USAGE. An automated payment procedure has been implemented
between the NCDOT and NCDENR-DWQ. This procedure will enable the Division to apply for
the 401 WQC without submitting a check for this permit application. This procedure will provide
payment to the NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee directly to the appropriate
NCDOT WBS Element No. 34625.1.1. A pre-construction notification and permit drawings are
attached with this request. If you have any questions or need additional information, please
contact Mr. Chris Murray at [phone].
Sincerely,
