Box 4025 Greensboro, NC, 27404-4025 SUBJECT: Dan River Bends Culvert Repair APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Dear Mr. Messenger: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place a culvert in 30 linear feet and to stabilize 119 linear feet of perennial streams in order to conduct culvert repairs at the Dan River Bends in Stokes County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on January 30, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3376 (GC 3376) which can be viewed on our web site at http//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 3 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you 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 the Certification 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 certification, as well as the additional condition listed below: Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards: a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual. b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project. c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual. d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. 2. 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 Notice Application. 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; NCDEHR N. C. Division of Water Quality, 401 Wetlands Certification Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 (Mailing Address) 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 (Location) (919) 733-1786 (phone), 919-733-6893 (fax), (http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands) Customer Service #: 1-877-623-6748 Mr. Greg Messenger February 13, 2004 Page 2 of 2 3. 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 devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project; 4. Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that original stream profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimension, pattern, and longitudinal profile) are to be maintained above and below the locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established. If the pipes are installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re- installed correctly. The culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the stream up-or down- stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimension, pattern and longitudinal profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip-rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality. Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions; 5. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, 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.

At the hospital turn left toward Hanging Rock State Park Turn right onto Moores Springs Road (SR 1001). Drive for approximately 2.6 miles Turn right on Dan George Road (SR 1484). The gate to the site is -0.75 miles down on the right 5. Site coordinates, if available (UTM or Lat/Long): N36 25' 32" / W80 17' 40" (Note - If project is linear, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that sepailtely lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.) 6. Property size (acres): 18.1 7. Nearest body of water (stream/river/sound/ocean/lake): UT to S. Double Creek/Dan River 8. River Basin: Roanoke River Basin (Note this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/admin/maps/.) 9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: This site is conservation land that is wooded and has a small grassy open area. A narrow gravel drive leads to an existing canoe access. Site access is Page 2 of 8 limited due to a locked entrance gate. Nearby land use is forest agriculture and a few residences. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: This project proposes to repair an undersized culvert that is washing out on the driveway that leads to a canoe access. A second culvert will be placed in the bottom of the channel with the existing culvert placed at a higher elevation to carry flood flows. Culvert alignment will direct flows toward the center of the channel instead of the downstream bank Damage to the downstream bank will be repaired as part of this project. Repairs consist of laying back slopes, revegetating the banks, toe protection and a deflector vane to keep stream power centered in the stream channel. Proposed work will be done with a small backhoe working from the top of the bank. Some gravel may be used as bedding for the new culvert. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Repairs are proposed to increase the storm flow conveyance where an undersized culvert was installed, repair flood damage to the access drive, and repair downstream bank scour.

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. No additional stream length will be impacted by the troposed culvert renair_ but current unstable conditions that are causing erosion will be remedied. Overall, with a floodplain culvert, flatter banks, replanted banks, and possibly a deflector vane, site stability will be enhanced and water quality will be improved. Page 5 of 8 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 March 9, 2000, 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 riot 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 NCWRP 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://h2o.enr.stdte.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 1.
