Subject: Preconstruction Notification and request for 404 and 401 permits for the construction of
the Madison County Jail facility. Unnamed Tributaries to Hayes Run, French Broad
River Basin - CU# 06010105, Madison County, NC.
Dear Ms. Karoly:
Enclosed with this letter are five (5) copies of the Pre-Construction Notification, EEP approved
restoration plan, project plan set, EEP approval letter and an electronic version of these materials.
I have also attached to the PCN a check for $570.00 to cover the application fee. Baker has
signed an MOU with the DWQ for electronic submission of applications and we have attempted
to follow the DWQ's guidance with this. In addition I have sent one additional copy directly to
Kevin Barnett to save your office the time and expense of forwarding it to him. We have also
submitted this information to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and N.C. Wildlife Resources
Commission for their review. We are providing this information for your department's
consideration and comments relative to permitting under §401 of the Clean Water Act.
Madison County (County) is pursuing a project to construct a new jail on County property near
the present Hot Springs Health Services site. To develop the site as presently proposed, a small
unnamed tributary (project reach) will need to be relocated and the valley filled. The project
reach is a small, first order tributary to a larger unnamed tributary that flows into Hayes Run, a
small stream that flows south beside NC 213 to the French Broad River. Hayes Run is listed as a
Class C water by the Division of Water Quality. We have seen no evidence that the project reach
supports a trout population, and watershed development, lack of a riparian canopy and stream
hydrology would prevent the reach from supporting trout. The preconstruction notice should
provide the information needed to evaluate this permit request and we are prepared to meet with
personnel from your office to further discuss the project, if you so desire.
We are prepared to adhere to the trout spawning moratorium on this project if requested by the
NCWRC. We are trying to move this project to construction as soon as possible in order to
implement part of the project prior to the fall closure if required. Your timely review will be
appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me at 828-350-1408 ext. 2008.
Sincerely,
t

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1 Name of project: Madison County Jail Project
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only): n/a
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): n/a
4. Location
County: Madison Nearest Town: Marshall
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number):
Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.):
From Asheville take Hwy 25/70 North toward Marshall NC for approximately 24 miles.
The project site is located northeast of the Town of Marshall about .25 miles from NC 213
on Medical Park Drive The project reach is confined within a narrow valley bound by the
Medical Park Drive loop The stream in question is a small first order tributary (UT 1) to a
larger unnamed tributary (UT 2) that flows into Haves Run a small stream that flows south
beside NC 213 to the French Broad River.
5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that
separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)

6. Property size (acres): n/a
7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: UT 2 to Haves Run
8. River Basin: French Broad River
(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/.)
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 2 of 9
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: A 773 linear foot (LF) reach of Unnamed Tributary 1 (UT1),
originates at a culvert located between two health facilities and terminates at a riser pipe
upstream of Medical Park Drive The entire reach is confined within a narrow valley bound
by the Medical Park Drive loop The valley appears to have been significantly altered by the
development of the two health facilities Hydrology within the 33.8 acre drainage area has
been re-routed as a result of this development The project reach is fairly steep in slope,
appears to have been channelized and lacks native riparian vegetation. The riser pipe located
at the downstream reach limits and the non-cohesive bank material observed throughout the
incised portion of the reach suggests that the valley has been filled and may have been used
as a settling basin during early development of the site In-stream habitat value is minimal
due to watershed disturbance and the small drainage area and channel size which limits the
accommodation of most aquatic organisms The first order stream is not depicted as a "blue
line" stream on the Marshall quadrangle map from the United States Geological Survey
(USGS suggesting the stream is not likely perennial The reach appears to be an ephemeral
stream that transitions into an intermittent stream for 290 LF of the project area.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Approximately 550 LF of UT1 is proposed to be filled to facilitate the construction of a new
Madison County jail facility. The existing flow will either be moved to the area between the
new fill slope and the existing road or piped under the fill. Due to the steep slopes
surrounding the site the construction footprint will impact this small channel. This project
will require the use of track-hoes dozers for grading and clearing activities, and dump trucks
to haul materials In addition to impact minimization efforts proposed below, the Madison
County Governing Board has opted to submit payment to the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee QLF) Program as mitigation for the 290 LF of
intermittent stream impacted
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Madison County is pursuing the construction of a
new jail on County proper near the present Hot Springs Health Services site. To develop
the site as presently proposed a small unnamed tributary (UT 1) will be impacted and the
valley partially filled.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P., project, along with
construction schedules. No permits have been previous requested for this project.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1, Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts involve the filling of 290
linear feet of an unnamed intermittent stream Impacts will be minimized however possible.
Stream flow will either be diverted or pumped around all areas of active channel fill. Given
the poor aquatic habitat currently _present, the existing riser pipe at the downstream end and
the installation of erosion and sedimentation BMPs on the site this activity should not pose
significant adverse impacts to aquatic organisms on site or downstream of the site.
2. Individually list wetland impacts (if applicable). Types of impacts include, but are not
limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc.
For dams separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

7. Isolated Waters
Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No
Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 5 of 9
8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. 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. The construction footprint was
placed as far back from the existing stream channel as possible given the constraint of a steep
back slope behind the facility. In addition to the building footprint a road conforming to
NCDOT standards will be constructed in front of the facility. In combination the building and
public road require that the fill slope go beyond the existing channel. Stream flow through the
existing channel will be diverted or pumped around the project site prior to any soil disturbance
within the jurisdictional reach To minimize potential impacts areas disturbed by equipment
will be reseeded as soon as slopes are brought to a final grade. Staging area(s) and soil wasting
will be located as far from open channels as feasible Soil and other materials will be contained
by placing silt fencing between all disturbed areas and open channels.
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.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that
the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of
the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the
applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice
will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized
work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based' upon the Fee Schedule and
policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the

Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies
require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional
mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The
mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C. Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
