Ladies and Gentlemen,
Attached for your review is the subject permit application. It would be greatly
appreciated if you could expedite this permit application since we are trying to
beat the fiscal year closeout. We are proposing a June letting for this contract.
This is a reapplication since the previously issued permits expired March 18, 2012.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please advise. Thanks

Asheville, North Carolina 28801 -5006
SUBJECT: NCDOT Nationwide 14 Permit Application
SR 1336 — Mooney Branch and UTs to Mooney Branch and Wesley Creek
Haywood County
Dear Mr. Baker:
Mr. Jonathan Woodard of the North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) requested a letter
of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) for a 404 Permit
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. NCDOT plans to extend culverts and relocate a channel in the
Wesley Creek and Mooney Branch watersheds to improve SR 1336 near Maggie Valley. Comments from
the Commission are provided under 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 streams that will be impacted should be too small for fish. Wesley Creek supports a limited wild
rainbow trout population near the valley bottom. This project should not harm trout resources if it causes
only minimal downstream sedimentation. Avoiding the culvert work during the January l to April 15
period when rainbow trout spawn is recommended as a conservative measure, particularly at site 2 which
has the largest watershed and most potential for sediment transport. The topography of the project area is
very steep, so erosion potential should be high.
The Commission can concur with the permit if the following recommended conditions are attached and
used to help conserve fish and wildlife resources:
1. The Nationwide and Final Regional conditions are adhered to. Adherence to Final Regional
condition 1.2 is probably not necessary to protect trout spawning in waters downstream. However, if
possible, culvert work, particularly at site 2, should be avoided during the January l to April 15
period when rainbow trout spawn.

2. Sediment and erosion control measures are used and maintained until all disturbed soils are
permanently stabilized. All bare soil is seeded as soon as possible following disturbance. Erosion
control matting is used with seeding on disturbed stream banks and is anchored with staples, stakes,
or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Tall fescue is not used along streams.
3. Any concrete work is isolated from water because uncured concrete can kill aquatic life.
4. Rock, sand, or other materials are not excavated from stream channels except in the immediate
permitted areas. The natural dimension, pattern, and profile of the channels upstream and
downstream of any stream crossings are not modified.
5. Sandbags, flexible pipe, or other stable diversion structures are used to avoid excavation in flowing
water.
6. Storm water from roadways is directed to vegetated buffer areas or detention basins and not routed
directly to streams as concentrated flow.
7. Riparian vegetation, especially trees and shrubs, is preserved as much as possible. Native woody
vegetation (e.g., rhododendron, dog hobble, silky dogwood, sycamore, river birch, red maple) is
replanted upstream and downstream of stream crossings to provide bank stability and shading if
vegetation is removed during construction.
8. All heavy equipment operated near streams is inspected and maintained regularly to prevent
contamination by fuels, lubricants, or hydraulic fluids.
9. Hydroseed mixtures and wash - waters do not reach streams.
10. Rock is not placed on stream beds where flow or aquatic life movements are impeded. Bank
armoring is restricted to below the high water mark and vegetation is used above.
11. Relocated channels are constructed to resemble natural, reference conditions as much as possible.
Straight ditches and armored channels are avoided.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Pending availability of field staff, the
Commission may inspect the work site during or after construction. If there are any questions regarding these
comments, please contact me at (828) 452 -2546 extension 24.
Sincerely,
Dave McHenry
