EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY February 21, 2007 U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office O 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27609 Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, NCDOT Coordinator Subject: Proposed placement of rip rap along the east stream bank of an unnamed tributary to Buffalo Creek adjacent to SR 1222 (Mitchiner Road) in Franklin County. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to place rip rap along the east streambank of an unnamed tributary to Buffalo Creek adjacent to SR 1222 (Mitchner Road) in Franklin County (Figures 1 - 3). Impacts to Waters of the United States Recent field inspection of this site review unstable banks on the east side of an unnamed tributary to Buffalo Creek djacent SR 1222 (Mitchiner Road) (see photograph). No till in surface water is proposed to the UT to Buffalo Creek [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 28-22, Best Usage Classification WS-IV NSW; HUC 03020101] (Figure 3) in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. However, the NCDOT proposes to place approximately 105 linear feet of Class B rip rap along the east streambank of this UT to Buffalo Creek to provide long- term stability. Permanent stream impacts at the site include 105 linear feet of rip rap along the east bank of this UT to Buffalo Creek. Riparian Buffer Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a stream that is subject to the Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream is not depicted on the most recent version of the Franklinton (USGS 1978) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) but it does appear on the Franklin County Soil Survey (USDA, 2004) (Figure 2). Please note that although this project is within the Tar-Pamlico Ri~~er Basin, the rip rap armori~ig is to be placed along the stream is between the stream and the roadway [withi~i the existing transportation facility (ETF)J and therefore no nen~ impacts within the riparia~~ buffer are proposed. Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 ti+ Waters of the U.S. Mitigation 7 Avoidance: All surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or storage of construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters. Minimization: Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites. Compensatory Miti atg ion: Compensatory mitigation requirements is not required for this project. Protected Species Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the ESA. As of February 2007, there are three federally protected species listed for Franklin County. They include dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana), and 1Nlichaux's sumac (Rhos micliauxii). The roadway shoulders along Mitchiner Road are heavily maintained, eliminating the possibility for Michaux's sumac to exist in this area. This intermittent stream is small and does not provide suitable habitat for mussel fauna. Additionally, a review of the Natural Heritage Program database (last updated Fall 2006) revealed no occurrences of protected species within the project area. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the 0219/07 site visit and the NHP database review, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species. Summary Permanent stream impacts at the site include 105 linear feet of rip rap along the east bank of this UT to Buffalo Creek. No fill in surface water is proposed. Additionally no riparian buffer impacts are proposed at this placement of rip rap is within the existing transportation facility. Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 13 and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3495 for the above-described activity. Apre-construction notification is attached with this request. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Heather Montague at (919) 560-6081. Sincerely, J.W.

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. All wetlands and surface waters not affected by construction will be protected from unnecessary encroachment during construction. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during construction. Only the smallest amount of fill necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States. V[II. 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. USAGE - 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 USAGE 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 http:i/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnn~ide.html. Page 5 of 8 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. Compensator~miti~ation is not required for this ~roiect. IX. X. 2.
