EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY February 20, 2007 U.S. Army 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 repair and add extension of a structure conveying an unnamed tributary to Owens Creek on US 158 Bypass in Warren County. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to repair and extend a pipe conveying an unnamed tributary to Owens Creek on US 158 Bypass in Warren County (Figures 1 - 2). [mpacts to Waters of the United States The project crosses an intermittent stream, UT to Owens Creek, [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 28-79-4, Best Usage Classification C NSW; HUC 03020102] in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is reinforced concrete pipe that has separated end joints (see Photographs 1-2). The last three joints of this structure have disconnected. The NCDOT proposes to reset the last three joints, extend this pipe 8ft, and rebuild the fill section above the outlet end. Rip rap will be used to armor the pipe end and associated till slope above. During the construction of the project, the NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone for approximately 5 days. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags in the creek at the inlet of this structure and 18 feet downstream of construction. Due to the intermittent natural of this stream, pumping water around will not be necessary. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe joints will be reset and the additional joints will be added. The materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the repair will involve 8ft of surface water till and rip rap armoring not to exceed l Oft along the banks at the pipe outlet. Temporary concurrent impacts will include the dewatering of 18 feet of stream. Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 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 UT to Owens Creek at Site 1 is depicted on the most recent version of the Warrenton (1970) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1). Construction impacts at this site total 1,187 ft' in Zone 1 and 736 ft~ in Zone 2 (totaling 18 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is EXEMPT. Waters of the U.S. Mitigation Avoidance: All wetlands and 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: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional sites. 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 Enviromnental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites. Compensatory Mitigation: All compensatory mitigation requirements will be left to the discretion of the regulatory review agencies. 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 two federally protected species listed for Warren County. They include dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta hcte~rodon) and the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana). The intermittent stream at this project site is small and within the headwaters of it's system 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 01/30/07 site visit and the NHP database review, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species. Summary The NCDOT proposes to repair the existing structure, by resetting the last three joints of pipe and then adding two additional joints of pipe. Permanent impacts at the site associated with the repair will involve 8ft of surface water fill and rip rap armoring not to exceed l Oft along the banks at the pipe outlet. Temporary concurrent impacts will include the dewatering of 18 feet of stream. The work zone will be dewatered for approximately 5 days. The materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Riparian buffer impacts at this site total 1,187 ft' in Zone 1 and 736 ft- in Zone 2 (totaling 18 linear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Based on the impacts to the riparian buffer at this site, this crossing is EXEMPT. 3 Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3 and NWP 33. Additionally, this application provides notification to the NCDWQ as Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3494 and No. 3366 will be utilized for construction of this project. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP and WQC conditions. Apre-construction notification is attached with this request.

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 Pernits, 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 maybe appropriate and practicable include, Page 5 of 8 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.
