Dear-Mr. Wyatt:
Alan. W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
October 11, 2005
DWQ# 05-1741
Guilford County
The City of Greensboro has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in
93 linear feet of perennial stream and in 0.02 acre of wetlands for the purpose of widening Franklin Boulevard
in Greensboro, Guilford County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on
September 14, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification. Numbers 3374 and 3404, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/newetlands. These Certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 and
14 respectively when they are issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any
other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited
to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permits expire unless otherwise specified in the
General Certifications.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing and you maybe required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of these Certifications and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certifications, as well as the additional conditions listed below:

B, Figure 3)

2. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the
location of the culverts. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the
stream. If a culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the
culvert is installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The
Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting
that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
3. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B.0211 Fresh Surface Water Quality
Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control measures in wetlands or waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the
North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
5. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
b. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the
normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the streambed must be inserted into the bed matrix to a depth sufficient to
provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the streambed must not be

increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in destabilization of the
streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing.
7. Upon completing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been finished.
This certificate should be returned to the Wetlands/401 Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality at the
address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send photographs upstream
and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of these Certifications, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. These Certifications and their conditions are
-final-and binding unless you ask for-a hearing. - - -
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-

Franklin Boulevard Road Widening
Greensboro, North Carolina
RWA Project No. 2979-300
Dear Mr. Tugwell:
On behalf of the City of Greensboro (COG), Ralph Whitehead Associates, Inc.
(RWA) is submitting the attached Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) form with
supplemental information (Attachment A), and accompanying figures and
supporting information, to request the issuance of Department of the Army
Section 404 Nationwide Permits (NWP) Number 14 and NWP No. 12 for the
above-referenced project. The COG has retained RWA to act as its agent in
matters related to wetlands permitting for this project. Reference Attachment A
for an Agent Certification of Authorization. Figures referenced in the ensuing
discussion are included in Attachment B.
The project involves widening approximately 7,500 feet of Franklin Boulevard,
between Burlington Road and McConnell Road, in the eastern portion of the City
of Greensboro, North Carolina (Figure 1). In addition, improvements to
McConnell Road and Burlington Road are proposed, as are improvements to
several roadways intersecting Franklin Boulevard in the project corridor. The
widening project will result in the minor loss of aquatically important stream below
the ordinary high water mark, as well as the loss of a small (< 0.1 acre),
emergent wetland. This letter and accompanying materials will serve as pre-
construction notification (PCN) for two separate and complete linear
transportation crossings, and , storm sewer utility installation, and is provided
pursuant to NWP Nos. 14 and 12, respectively (Federal Register Vol. 67, No. 10;
Tuesday, January 15, 2002). The COG is anticipating that a separate Action ID
Number would be issued for each impact area.

Mr. Todd Tugwell

Background
The COG has proposed widening Franklin Boulevard between Burlington Road and McConnell
Road. Franklin Boulevard is currently a two-lane roadway with a speed limit of 35 miles per
hour throughout the corridor. The project would entail: the addition of a center, turn lane; new
sidewalks; culvert extensions and/or replacements; riprap installation; storm water utility
installation; new pavement; pavement markings; and improvements to roadways intersecting
Franklin Boulevard in the project corridor, including McConnell and Burlington Roads. The
typical roadway section would consist of a 56-foot, three lane section, including two 12-foot
lanes (one in each direction) and a 12 foot center, two-way, left turn lane, with 5 foot sidewalks,
2.5 foot curb and gutter, and 2.5 foot utility/planting strip on both sides of the road.
Waters of the U.S. in the project corridor are limited to a jurisdictional stream and a small,
emergent wetland to be impacted by the widening of Franklin Boulevard, and a jurisdictional
stream to be impacted by storm sewer utility installation along Kehoe Drive. These jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. are discussed below. One, ephemeral stream, anticipated to be considered
non-jurisdictional, is also located in the project corridor. The project necessitates an
unavoidable crossing of each jurisdictional stream and the wetland area (i.e., three separate
and complete actions). No other impacts to waters of the U.S., including wetlands, are
proposed.
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were delineated in the project corridor by RWA in August 2004.
Stream assessments were conducted by the COG Storm Water Services (SWS) in August
2004, utilizing the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Stream Classification Form
(Attachment D). Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. delineated in the project corridor included two
aquatically important stream channels and an emergent wetland area. Representative
photographs are included in Attachment C.

Stream 1 (Photographs 1 and 2; Figure 3) is a perennial, first order tributary of South Buffalo
Creek. The stream has bank heights of approximately 2 to 4 feet, and has a width ranging from
approximately 3 feet on the west (upstream) side to approximately 5 feet on the east
(downstream) side of Franklin Boulevard. Riparian vegetation associated with Stream 1
includes American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), winged elm (Ulmus alata), goldenrod
(Solidago sp.), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and various grasses. The COG
SWS observed crayfish in the channel as part of its stream assessment. The channel had
flowing water at the time of RWA's site visit. Stream 1 appears as a perennial stream on the
USGS map, beginning at Franklin Boulevard. Stream 1 also appears on the county Soil Survey
(Figure 2). The proposed impact area is more than 7,000 feet upstream of South Buffalo Creek.
Stream 2 (Photograph 3; Figure 3) is a perennial, first order tributary of South Buffalo Creek that
crosses Kehoe Drive. The stream has bank heights of approximately 2 to 3 feet, and a width of
approximately 6 feet. Riparian vegetation associated with Stream 3 includes dogfennel
(Eupatorium capillifolium), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), and red maple (Acer rubrum). Fish
were observed in the stream and the channel had flowing water during RWA's site visit. Stream
2 appears as a perennial stream southeast of the project area on the USGS map. Stream 2
also appears on the county Soil Survey (Figure 2). The proposed impact area is approximately
6,000 feet upstream of South Buffalo Creek.

In addition to Streams 1 and 2, an ephemeral, non jurisdictional channel is located in the
northern portion of the project corridor. The channel was determined to be ephemeral per the
COG SWS stream assessment (see Attachment D). This ephemeral channel does not appear
on the USGS map or the county Soil Survey.
R Wetland A (Photograph 4) is an emergent wetland located at the toe of the existing Franklin
' Boulevard roadway fill slope, adjacent to the above-described ephemeral channel. Dominant
vegetation in this wetland includes flatsedge (Carex sp.), softrush (Juncus effusus), smartweed
(Polygonum punctatum), with saplings of black willow (Salix nigra) silky dogwood (Cornus
amomum), and elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). This wetland was saturated at the time of
RWA's site visit, and contained several pockets of standing water. Wetland A is estimated to be
approximately 0.02 acre in size. A Routine Wetland Determination Data Form is included in
Attachment D
Purpose and Need
The purpose of the road widening is two-fold: 1) to better accommodate existing and projected
future traffic; and 2) to improve motorist and pedestrian safety along Franklin Boulevard.
According to the Planning Study Report For Franklin Boulevard Improvements (from McConnell
Road to Bessemer Road), prepared for GDOT by Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (July 2001),
.? 52 accidents were reported in the project corridor over a five-year period prior to the planning
study. Most (77%) of the accidents involved two vehicles due to a) failure to reduce speed
resulting in rear-end collisions, or b) drivers entering/exiting the roadway failing to yield the right-
of-way to on-coming traffic. The addition of a center, two-way left turn-lane would improve
` traffic safety by more effectively separating opposing lanes of traffic and providing protection for
turning movements (Stantec, 2001). The widening would also better facilitate school bus traffic
for Otis Hairston Senior Middle School, located at the intersection of Naco Road and Franklin
Boulevard in the northern portion of the corridor.
In addition to improving vehicular traffic safety, the widening project would improve pedestrian
safety by adding sidewalks to both sides of Franklin Boulevard. Pedestrians are currently
forced to walk along the roadside or on residential properties when traveling along Franklin
Boulevard. ' In order to accommodate the turn lane and sidewalks, existing roadside ditches
would be replaced by curb and gutter, which would alleviate flooding of residential yards and/or
the road surface along Franklin Boulevard.
Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Construction of the proposed road improvements will require linear crossings of waters of the
U.S. at two separate locations. For purposes of NWP No. 14 authorization, each linear crossing
is considered a separate and complete project. Impacts are as follows:
Impacts proposed under NWP No. 14
¦ Wetland A/Site 1 located north of Naco Road: Impacts to this minor wetland area will
total approximately 0.02 acre, and will result from the placement of roadbed fill material,
minor tailditching, and upsizing of the existing RCP that currently conveys the ephemeral
channel (Figures 4 and 5).
¦ Stream 1/Site 2 located north of Hope Valley Lane: Proposed impact total of 51 If.
Impacts will result from the replacement of an existing 82.8 If, 29" x 45" arch reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP) beneath Franklin Boulevard with a 113.85 If, 54" RCP. The

Mr. Todd Tugwell

'-' Page 4 of 6
replacement will involve new impacts to approximately 31 If of Stream 1 for new pipe
and a 20 If riprap apron. The culvert will be buried below the stream bottom (Figures 6
and 7).
Impacts proposed under NWP No. 12
¦ Stream 2/Site 3 located south of Kehoe Drive: Proposed impact total of approximately 42
If. Impacts will result from extending an existing 30" RCP located beneath Kehoe Drive.
The pipe extension will involve impacts to Stream 2 related to the installation of a 20 If,
36" RCP, and a 22 If riprap outlet apron. The pipe extension is necessary in order to tie
a proposed 24" RCP storm sewer along the south side of Kehoe Drive to the 36" RCP, to
convey storm water from Franklin Boulevard (Figures 8 and 9). A proposed manhole will
be installed at the junction of these two pipes. Without the pipe extension and manhole
installation, storm water from the proposed 24" pipe would discharge directly to Stream 2
at a near 90-degree angle, creating potential issues related to streambank
scour/erosion.
A stormwater study performed by the COG has determined that additional runoff generated by
the project at each of the aforementioned impact locations will not exceed 10 percent.
Avoidance and Minimization
The COG considered three alternatives for improving this corridor, as follows (Stantec, 2001):
¦ Alternative A (the currently proposed 'recommended' alternative) would consist of a 56-
foot, three lane section, including two 12-foot lanes (one in each direction) and a 12 foot
center, two-way, left turn lane, with 5 foot sidewalks, 2.5 foot curb and gutter, and 2.5
foot utility/planting strip on both sides of the road. This roadway alignment follows the
centerline of the existing road, and would generally impact 15 feet beyond the existing
edges of pavement on Franklin Boulevard.
¦ Alternative B would consist of a 60-foot two lane section, with a 16-foot landscape
median along portions of the corridor, and like Alternative A, would include 5 foot
sidewalks, 2.5 foot curb and gutter, and 2.5 foot utility/planting strip on both sides of the
road. Portions of Alternative B.would include a 16-foot wide center, two-way, left turn
lane in place of the landscape median. In addition, where a landscape median would be
designed, exclusive left-turn lanes would be provided at some intersections within the
corridor. This roadway alignment follows the centerline of the existing road, and would
generally impact 18 feet beyond the existing edges of pavement on Franklin Boulevard.
¦ Alternative C would follow the exact same design as Alternative B, with the addition of a
roundabout at the offset intersections of Eastland and Dawson Avenues.
Due to the wider footprint of Alternatives B and C, each would result in more impacts to waters
of the U.S. than Alternative A.
' Following the development of the alternatives, two public workshops were held in February and
April 2001, respectively, to inform and involve the citizens in the planning study. Based on
comments received from concerned citizens, and based on reduced impacts to waters of the
U.S., the COG chose Alternative A as the recommended alternative. COG chose to add the
landscape median element from Alternative B in the northern portion of the corridor, in order to
reduce vehicle speed and increase safety near Otis Hairston Senior Middle School.
Mr. Todd Tugwell
September 9, 2005
Page 5 of 6
Due to the nature of the project, avoiding impacts to waters/wetlands while achieving the goal of
the project is not possible. Once the recommended alignment was chosen, COG made the
following efforts to minimize impacts:
• COG initially planned to install a second culvert beneath Franklin Boulevard at Stream 1,
as well as extending the existing culvert to the east and the west. In order to minimize
impacts to Stream 1, COG decided to replace the existing culvert with a slightly longer
one, which resulted in less tailditching, and fewer impacts from riprap placement.
¦ The COG has incorporated concrete end walls into the culvert design in order to
minimize stream impacts. In order to accommodate low flow and aquatic life passage,
the culvert has been sized to enable the pipe to be buried below the surface of the
streambed while still meeting the hydraulic requirements of the channel.
¦ Proposed riprap pads used at the downstream end of the proposed culverts have been
kept to the minimum length practicable.
Mitigation
Due to the nature of the project, avoiding impacts to waters of the U.S., including wetlands,
while achieving the goals of the project is not possible. Due to the channelized and "culverted"
conditions of Streams 1 and 2, the small size of Wetland A, and the existing urbanized
conditions (mowed/grassed banks and riprap) which exists on both sides of Franklin Boulevard
and Kehoe Drive, the COG is not proposing mitigation for the de minimus loss of approximately
0.02 acre of wetlands and 93 If of total stream channel.
` Activities on the project site involving impacts to waters of the U.S. will be required to follow the
General Conditions of the Nationwide Permits (Federal Register Vol. 67, No. 10; Tuesday,
January 15, 2002), applicable Wilmington District Regional Conditions, and applicable State
consistency conditions.
Possible sedimentation of streams downstream of the construction areas during and
immediately following the construction phase will be minimized to the maximum extent
practicable by strict implementation of, and compliance with, a State-approved sediment and
erosion control plan. Erosion and sediment control measures will be inspected for compliance
with construction contract documents, as well as following storm events, to identify needed
repair, maintenance, or redesign.
Cultural Resources and Protected Species
Based on the limited permit area, potential impacts to cultural resources are considered remote.
A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database provided existing
information concerning the potential occurrence of threatened or endangered species within
Guilford County, North Carolina. This database indicates that the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalus) is the only federal and/or state threatened or endangered species known to
occur in Guilford County.
An assessment of potential Bald Eagle habitat (see description below) in the study area was
conducted during the field review in August 2004. Appropriate habitat for the bald eagle was
not identified.
L'

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
.? The bald eagle is associated with coasts, rivers, and lakes, usually nesting near large bodies of
water where it feeds. Nesting habitat in the southeast usually occurs in large pine or cypress
trees. The bald eagle is listed as a current record for Guilford County. The proposed project is
not expected to impact large bodies of water and no areas resembling the habitat requirements
r, for this species were observed in the project area.
Considering the lack of potential habitat in the project area, the likelihood that the bald eagle is
present is concluded to be remote.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The site is comprised of roadsides and residential yards
(e.2., mowed lawns). The surrounding land use is primarily residential, with a high
school and U .S. National Guard facility in the northern portion of the proiect area.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The COG has proposed widening Franklin Boulevard between Burlington Road and
McConnell Road. Franklin Boulevard is currently a two-lane roadway with a speed
limit of 35 miles per hour throughout the corridor. The project would entail: the
addition of a center, turn lane, new sidewalks culvert extensions and/or replacements;
riprap installation; storm water utility installation; new pavement; pavement
markings; and improvements to roadways intersecting Franklin Boulevard in the
' proiect corridor, including McConnell and Burlington Roads. The typical roadway
section would consist of a 56-foot, three lane section, including two 12-foot lanes (one in
each direction) and a 12 foot center, two-way, left turn lane, with 5 foot sidewalks, 2.5
foot curb and gutter, and 2.5 foot utility/planting strip on both sides of the road.
Waters of the U.S. in the proiect corridor are limited to a jurisdictional stream and a
small, emergent wetland to be impacted by the widening of Franklin Boulevard, and a
jurisdictional stream to be impacted by storm sewer utility installation along Kehoe
Drive. These iurisdictional waters of the U.S. are discussed below. One, ephemeral
stream, anticipated to be considered non-jurisdictional, is also located in the proiect
corridor. The project necessitates an unavoidable crossing of each jurisdictional stream
and the wetland area (i.e., three separate and complete actions). No other impacts to
in waters of the U.S., including wetlands, are proposed.
Equipment to be used includes dozers, backhoes, and other typical heavy construction
equipment.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
The purpose of the road widening is two-fold: 1) to better accommodate existing and
projected future traffic; and 2) to improve motorist and pedestrian safety along
Franklin Boulevard. According to the Planninga Study Report For Franklin Boulevard
I Improvements (from McConnell Road to Bessemer Road), prepared for GDOT by
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (July 2001), 52 accidents were reported in the project
corridor over a five-year period prior to the planning study. Most (77%) of the
accidents involved two vehicles due to a) failure to reduce speed resulting in rear-end
collisions, or b) drivers entering/exiting the roadway failing to yield the right-of-way to
on-coming traffic. The addition of a center, two-way left turn-lane would improve
traffic safety by more effectively separating opposing lanes of traffic and providing
protection for turning movements (Stantec, 2001). The widening would also better
facilitate school bus traffic for Otis Hairston Senior Middle School, located at the
intersection of Naco Road and Franklin Boulevard in the northern portion of the
corridor.

Page 3 of 12

In addition to improving vehicular traffic safety, the widening project would improve
pedestrian safety by adding sidewalks to both sides of Franklin Boulevard. Pedestrian
are currently forced to walk along the roadside or on residential properties when
traveling aloe Franklin Boulevard. In order to accommodate the turn lane and
sidewalks, existing roadside ditches would be replaced by curb and gutter, which would
alleviate flooding of residential yards and/or the road surface along Franklin
Boulevard.
IV. Prior Project History

project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
' the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
No previous iurisdictional determinations or permits have been issued for this proiect
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
i No future project plans are being considered at this time. Appropriate notification will be
provided should future impacts to waters of the U.S. be proposed.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
Construction of the proposed road improvements will require linear crossings of waters
t of the U.S. at two separate locations. For purposes of NWP No. 14 authorization, each
linear crossing is considered a separate and complete proiect. Impacts are as follows:
1
Page 4 of 12

Impacts proposed under NWP No. 14
¦ Wetland A/Site 1 located north of Naco Road: Impacts to this minor wetland area
will total approximately 0.02 acre, and will result from the placement of roadbed fill
material, minor tailditching, and upsizing of the existing RCP that currently
conveys the ephemeral channel (Figures 4 and 5).
¦ Stream 1/Site 2 located north of Hope Valley Lane: Proposed impact total of 51 If.
Impacts will result from the replacement of an existing 82.8 If, 29" x 45" arch
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) beneath Franklin Boulevard with a 113.85 If, 54"
RCP. The replacement will involve new impacts to approximately 31 if of Stream 1
for new pipe and a 20 If riprap apron. The culvert will be buried below the stream
bottom (Figures 6 and 7).
Impacts proposed under NWP No. 12
¦ Stream 2/Site 3 located south of Kehoe Drive: Proposed impact total of
approximately 42 If. Impacts will result from extending an existing 30" RCP located
beneath Kehoe Drive. The pipe extension will involve impacts to Stream 2 related to
the installation of a 20 If, 36" RCP, and a 22 If riprap outlet apron. The pipe
extension is necessary in order to tie a proposed 24" RCP storm sewer along the
south side of Kehoe Drive to the 36" RCP, to convey storm water from Franklin
Boulevard (Figures 8 and 9). A proposed manhole will be installed at the function
of these two pipes. Without the pipe extension and manhole installation, storm
water from the proposed 24" pipe would discharge directly to Stream 2 at a near 90-
degree angle, creating potential issues related to streambank scour/erosion.
A stormwater study performed by the COG has determined that additional runoff
generated by the project at each of the aforementioned impact locations will not
exceed 10 percent.

2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography; building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The COG considered three alternatives for improving this corridor, as follows (Stantec,
2001):
¦ Alternative A (the currently proposed `recommended' alternative) would consist of a
56-foot, three lane section, including two 12-foot lanes (one in each direction) and a
12 foot center, two-way, left turn lane, with 5 foot sidewalks, 2.5 foot curb and gutter,
and 2.5 foot utility/planting strip on both sides of the road. This roadway alignment
follows the centerline of the existing road, and would generally impact 15 feet beyond
the existing edges of pavement on Franklin Boulevard.
¦ Alternative B would consist of a 60-foot two lane section, with a 16-foot landscape
median alon portions of the corridor, and like Alternative A, would include 5 foot
sidewalks, 2.5 foot curb and gutter, and 2.5 foot utility/planting strip on both sides of
the road. Portions of Alternative B would include a 16-foot wide center, two-way,
' left turn lane in place of the landscape median. In addition, where a landscape
median would be designed, exclusive left-turn lanes would be provided at some
intersections within the corridor. This roadway alignment follows the centerline of
the existing road, and would generally impact 18 feet beyond the existing edges of
pavement on Franklin Boulevard.
¦ Alternative C would follow the exact same design as Alternative B, with the addition
of a roundabout at the offset intersections of Eastland and Dawson Avenues.
' Due to the wider footprint of Alternatives B and C, each would result in more impacts to
waters of the U.S. than Alternative A.
Following the development of the alternatives, two public workshops were held in
February and April 2001, respectively, to inform and involve the citizens in the planning
study. Based on comments received from concerned citizens, and based on reduced
Page 7 of 12

impacts to waters of the U.S., the COG chose Alternative A as the recommended
alternative. COG chose to add the landscape median element from Alternative B in the
northern portion of the corridor, in order to reduce vehicle speed and increase safety near
Otis Hairston Senior Middle School.
Due to the nature of the project, avoiding impacts to waters/wetlands while achieving the
coal of the protect is not possible. Once the recommended alignment was chosen, COG
made the following efforts to minimize impacts:
COG initially planned to install a second culvert beneath Franklin Boulevard at
Stream 1, as well as extending the existing culvert to the east and the west. In order
to minimize impacts to Stream 1, COG decided to replace the existing culvert with a
slightly longer one, which resulted in less tailditching, and fewer impacts from riprap
placement.
The COG has incorporated concrete end walls into the culvert design in order to
minimize stream impacts. In order to accommodate low flow and aquatic life
passage, the culvert has been sized to enable the pipe to be buried below the surface
of the streambed while still meeting the hydraulic requirements of the channel.
Proposed riprap pads used at the downstream end of the proposed culverts have
been kept to the minimum length practicable.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
' for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httn://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/strm2ide.html.
J
Page 8 of 12

1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
' and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Due to the nature of the proiect, avoiding impacts to waters of the U.S., including
1 wetlands, while achieving the goals of the proiect is not possible. Due to the channelized
and "culverted" conditions of Streams 1 and 2, the small size of Wetland A, and the
existing urbanized conditions (mowed/grassed banks and riprap) which exists on both
sides of Franklin Boulevard and Kehoe Drive, the COG is not proposing mitigation for
the de minimus loss of approximately 0.02 acre of wetlands and 93 If of total stream
channel.
Activities on the proiect site involving impacts to waters of the U.S. will be required to
follow the General Conditions of the Nationwide Permits (Federal Register Vol. 67, No.
10; Tuesday, January 15, 2002), applicable Wilmington District Regional Conditions,
and applicable State consistency conditions.
Possible sedimentation of streams downstream of the _construction areas during and
immediately following the construction phase will be minimized to the maximum extent
practicable by strict implementation of, and compliance with, a State-approved
sediment and erosion control plan. Erosion and sediment control measures will be
inspected for compliance with construction contract documents, as well as following
storm events, to identify needed repair, maintenance, or redesign.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wM/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
' Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ? No
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.
• Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone
2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.

XI.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. N/A
Stormwater (required by DWQ)

demonstrating total proposed impervious level. A stormwater study performed by the COG
has determined that additional runoff generated by the project at each of the
aforementioned impact locations will not exceed 10 percent.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
' wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
N/A
XIII. Violations (required by DW
Q)

Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
The protect will not result in appreciable increases in development within the project
corridor. Existing commercial, institutional, and residential areas currently occupy the
north and south portions within the project corridor. The road-widening project will not
cause additional development, but is being conducted to improve motorist and pedestrian
safety and to address current logistical problems of existing businesses and residents.
' XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on

P. O. Box 3136
Greensboro, NC 27402-3136
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Wyatt:
The City of Greensboro has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in
93 linear feet of perennial stream and in 0.02 acre of wetlands for the purpose of widening Franklin Boulevard
in Greensboro, Guilford County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on
September 14, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Numbers 3374 and 3404, which can be viewed on our web site at
http:/ih2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. These Certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 and
14 respectively when they are issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any
other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited
to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permits expire unless otherwise specified in the
General Certifications.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of these Certifications and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certifications, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of these
Certifications are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the
location of the culverts. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the
stream. If a culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the
culvert is installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The
Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting
that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B.0211 Fresh Surface Water Quality
Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control measures in wetlands or waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the
North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
6. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the
normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the streambed must be inserted into the bed matrix to a depth sufficient to
provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the streambed must not be

increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in destabilization of the
streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing.
7. Upon completing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been finished.
This certificate should be returned to the Wetlands/401 Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality at the
address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send photographs upstream
and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of these Certifications, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. These Certifications and their conditions are
final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-
4600 or Ian McMillan in the Wetlands/401 Central Office in Raleigh at 919-715-4631.
