SUBJECT: Samuel K. Matthews Nationwide 404 Permit Application
Bank stabilization - Caney Fork Creek
Jackson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Mr. Samuel K. Matthews is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. I have reviewed
information provided by the applicant, and I am familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments
are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The applicant proposes to stabilize approximately 200 linear feet of eroding stream bank in the vicinity of
known trout populations. The NCWRC is concerned about potential project impacts to trout and other aquatic
resources in this drainage, however, we do not object to the issuance of a 404 permit provided the following
conditions be placed on the subject permit:
1. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures trust be implemented and maintained on the
project site to avoid impacts to downstream aquatic resources.
2. Only clean, sediment-free rock and/or large woody material should be used for batik stabilization.
3. Under no circumstances should rock, sand, or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream
channel under authorization of this permit, except in the inunediate vicinity of the eroding bank.
Such materials are unstable in flowing water situations and are unsuitable for bank stabilization.
Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life, and disturbance of the natural forth of the
stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possibly affecting other land owners.
4. Stabilization measures should only be applied on or near existing erosion sites, leaving other stable
shoreline areas in a natural condition. Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and tree and
shrub growth should be retained if possible to ensure long teen availability of shoreline cover for
gantefish and wildlife.

Bank stabilization permit Page 2 March 5, 1999
5. Native trees (willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple), and herbaceous
shrubs, should be planted along the stream bank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long
term erosion control.
6. Repairs to eroded banks should be conducted in a dry work area, if possible. Sandbags, rock berms,
or other diversion structures should be used where possible to rainimize excavation in flowing water.
7. Construction is prohibited during the trout spawning period of November 1 to April 15 in order to
protect the egg and fry stages from sedimentation.
8. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be regularly inspected and maintained
to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Pending availability of field staff,
the NCWRC may inspect the work site during or after construction. If there are any questions regarding these
comments, please contact me at [phone].

Mark S. Davis
