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.

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.) Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): 35.8091 ON 82.6496 °W 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. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 3 of 9 V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. No future permit requests are anticipated 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.

Average Stream Width Before Impact Impact Length (linear feet) Area of Impact (acres) ) 1 UT 1 Stream relocation Intermittent 2' 290 .01 Total Stream Impact (by length and acreage) 290 .01 5. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.). Open water impacts include, but are not limited to fill excavation dredging flooding drainage, bulkheads, etc. Open Water Impact Site Number (indicate on map) Name of Waterbody (if applicable) Type of Impact Type of Waterbody (lake, pond, estuary, sound, bay, ocean, etc.) Area of Impact (acres) Total Open Water Impact (acres) h_ List the cumulative impact to all Waters of the U.S. resulting from the project: Stream Impact (acres): 0.01 Wetland Impact (acres): 0 Open Water Impact (acres): 0 Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. (acres) 0.01 Total Stream Impact (linear feet): 290 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. Updated 11/1/2005 ..................Page 6 of 9 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.
