EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY February 21, 2007 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 6508 Falls of the Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27609 Attention: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer NCDOT Coordinator 070314 Subject: Proposed safety realignment and improvements to NC 56 and NC 96 interchange in Granville County. North Carolina Moving Ahead Project MA05021R. WBS Element No. 37667 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to conduct improvements at the NC 56 and NC 96 intersection in Granville County. The existing facility is not aligned and is the site of numerous accidents. Impacts to Waters of the United States The project crosses an intermittent stream, an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Creek, [NCDENR-DWQ Index No. 27-12-(0.4), Best Usage Classification WS-IV NSW; HUC 03020201] (Figure 1), in the Neuse River Basin. The existing structure that conveys the creek is a 24 inch concrete pipe (with headwalls at the inlet and outlet) that is 57 feet long (see attached photograph). The NCDOT proposes to remove the existing headwalls and extend the structure 20 liner feet at the inlet and 36 linear feet at the outlet. Rip rap will be placed eight linear feet upstream of the proposed inlet of the structure and eight linear feet downstream of the structure to provide streambank stability. During the construction of the project, the NCDOT proposes to temporarily dewater the work zone for approximately 2 weeks. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags at the construction limits. To maintain water flow during construction, water upstream of the construction will be temporarily pumped out by a hose and conveyed downstream of the construction activity where it will be allowed to filter through vegetation before flowing into the stream. The effluent from the work area may be pumped into a prefabricated silt bag allowing water to slowly filter out of the bag in a dispersed matter and the sediment to be captured in the bag. Once the stream has been dewatered, the pipe will be extended. The materials used for dewatering will be removed after construction. Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 2 Permanent stream impacts at the site include 56 linear feet fill in surface waters associated with the extension of the structure and 16 linear feet of rip rap placed along the streambank for stabilization upstream and downstream of the structure. Temporary concurrent stream impacts will include the dewatering of 721inear feet of stream. Riparian Buffer Construction at this site involves a road crossing of a .stream that is subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream is depicted on the most recent version of the Wilton (USGS 1977) topographic quadrangle (Figure 1) as well as the Soil Survey of Granville County (USDA-SCS, 1997) (Figure 2). Construction impacts at this site total 4,156 square feet in Zone 1 and 2,157 square feet in Zone 2 (totaling 72 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: 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 the jurisdictional site. Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best. Management Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project construction. Compensatory Miti ation: 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 Endangered Species Act. As of February 19, 2007, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum) and smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) are federally protected species in Granville County. No populations of smooth coneflower were observed during the site visit in September 2006. Suitable habitat for the bald eagle, dwarf wedgemussel and Harperella is not present at the site. A review of the Natural Heritage Program database revealed no occurrences of protected species within the project area. Therefore, based on lack of suitable habitat observed during the site visit and the NHP database review, biological conclusions of No Effect have been rendered for each species. 3 Summary Permanent stream impacts at the site include 56 linear feet fill in surface waters associated with the extension of the structure and 16 linear feet of rip rap placed along the streambank for stabilization upstream and downstream of the structure. Temporary concurrent stream impacts will include the dewatering of 72 linear feet of stream. Construction impacts to the riparian buffer at this site total 4,156 square feet in Zone 1 and 2,157 square feet in Zone 2 (totaling 721inear feet of riparian buffer impacts). Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14, NWP 33, and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3404, WQC No. 3366 and riparian buffer authorization for above-described activities.

Only the smallest amount of fill necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States. 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 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) Page 5 of 8 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. Compensatory mitigation will be provided if requested b ty he re ug 1~~ eg ncies. 2.
