Re: Section 401 Water Quality Permit for McMurray pond - Polk County, N.C.
Since my letter to you on July 2, I have talked to Cindy Bill, Eric Gafamb, and Steve Kroeger
of your staff and I am sending to you the following:
1. Application for Section 401 certification (7 copies). Much of the
information came from the plan prepared from the NRCS.
2. Plan prepared by NRC S dated April 22, 1997 (7 copies)
3. Letters from the following (7 copies)
A. Steve Chapin, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
B. Jack Palmer, N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission
C. Mark S. Davis, N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission
D. James K. Leumas, DEHNR
E. Charles H. Gardner, DEHNR
Mr. Dorsey, until the letter from Mr. Chapin of the Corps of Engineers, dated June 26,
arrived I was unaware that a separate application needed to be made to your division. I had
assumed that the 5 copies to the N.C. DEHNR in Raleigh as indicated on page 1 of the NRCS
plan took care of all applications needed. For this oversight on my part I sincerely apologize.
Naturally, I wish to get the construction work completed in late summer or early fall in order
to seed the dam and surrounding bare areas to prevent winter erosion as much as possible.
I greatly appreciate any expediency that your division can provide.
Sincerely,
Birch L. McMurray

Dear Mr. McMurray:
As you are aware, due to the height of the dam and the amount of water
impounded, your proposed pond is subject to the Dam Safety Law of North
Carolina. This law requires that a permit be obtained before construction
is started- .. .
Enclosed-are 8LA E _:t`) ",copies of plans and -specifications.for your, pond.
You hould retainTone (1) copy for your use during.construction and for a
permanent record. Three_'(3'1"Z' e?s--are for your proposed contractors.
Five (5) copies alori with your request'f'or-a perm to construct should be
sent to the following ad res•??-
North Carolina Department of Natural Environment,
Health and Natural Resources
Land Quality Section
Dam Safety Engineer
P 0 Box 27687
Raleigh, NC 27611
As"soorias you-receive the,permit to"construct please notify this office
and we will-schedule a.day with you and :do :.the layout work.- -
Under the law, you are responsible for compliance with all construction
requirements and state regulations in constructing and maintaining your
dam. We are-required to make construction checks while the dam is being
built and-to make a_final check when construction is completed. There will
be critical items of-construction which we--must inspect before additional
work can proceed. These items include excavation for the cutoff core
trench and the installation of the drain pipe and anti-seep collars which
cannot be-'inspected after the dam is completed. Before you fill your pond,
we must certify to the to the State that the dam was builtaccording to the
plans and specifications. These and other items will be discussed in more
detail with you and your contractor when we meet to do the layout of you
pond. As you may know, we are required to withdraw assistance on this job
and notify the State Dam Safety Engineer, if you proceed in the building of
your dam before we inspect these critical items or if the dam is not being
constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications.
Sincerely,
Gerald Harbinson

/ SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF PONDS AND RESERVOIRS
Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the impoundment area before any water is
impounded. Whenever c eari hould be delayed until a ter -is--built to
hold erosion and downstream sedimentation to a minimum. Stumps maybe removed or r ay e
aw as ow as practical and stum s e t standing.
T e foun ation o e impoundment structure (dam) shall be cleared of all trees,
stumps, roots, brush, sod, and debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding one (1) inch in
diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will
be made of all debris.
After clearing is completed the foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly and
roughly leveled, with suitable equipment, before placement of any embankment material.
Cutoff Trench: A cutoff trench shall be excavated as shown on the plans. The cutoff trench
shall be backfilled in thin layers, not to exceed 8 inches in depth. All standing water shall
be removed from the trench before backfilling is started.
Embankment Construction: The material placed in the embankment shall be free of sod, roots,
stones over 6 inches in diameter, an o er o jectiona a materials. e i ma eria shall
ace and spread over the entire fill in layers not to exceed 8 inches in thickness. Con-
struction of the fill shall be undertaken only at such'times that the moisture content of the
fill material will permit a reasonable degree of compaction.
Fill Materials: Borrow areas will be designated on the plans and assigned priority (1, 2, 3,
etc.). All fill material shall be taken from these designated areas. SCS technicians will
advise the contractor regarding the maximum depth of cut in each borrow area. The contractor
will not exceed this depth. In the event this depth is exceeded in the impoundment area, it
shall be the responsibility of the contractor, without additional cost to the landowner, to
cover the exposed area with a minimum of 2 feet of impervious material.
Riser 6 Conduit Pipe: When it is indicated on the plans that a riser and conduit pipe are re-
quired, they must be installed as a complete unit. The inlet of the riser shall be protected.
by an inverted bucket-type, or an equally effective type, of trash rack. The conduit shall be
placed on a firm foundation. Selected backfill material shall be placed around the riser and
conduit pipe in layers not exceeding 4 inches and each successive layer thoroughly compacted.
Anti-Seep Collars: Anti-seep collars will be of materials and dimensions, and located as shown
in the plans where specified.
Vegetated Spillway(s): Spillway(s) wil ated.in undisturbed earth to the dimensions,
grades, slopes, and location as shown in the plans and as staked upon t e ground.-r
Pollution Control During Construction: Stripping of embankment and borrow areas shall be done
as they are needed in a normal sequence of construction. Use temporary mulch protection on all
disturbed areas that are subject to erosion and will not have substantial additional work per-
formed for 30 days or more. Temporary stream crossing structures will be used where fording of
streams will cause excessive sediment pollution. Protection against pollutants such as
chemicals, fuel, lubricants, sewage, etc., will be provided during construction.
Vegetation: All exposed embankment, spillway, and borrow area shall be seeded to an adapted
type of vegeta i s s
Special Provisions: .
(continued on back)
GENERAL
These specifications are to be made a part of detailed engineering plans of the pro-
posed embankment, spillway(s), and reservoir.
No changes nor deviations from these plan and &??? chal L be al?withcut a
written amendment, in advance of change, from the responsible technician of the Soil Conser-
vation ervice.
All facilities for impounding water shall comply strictly with all state and local laws
regulating such activity.
The Soil Conservation Service makes no warranty, expressed or implied, of the impounding
structure or the water holding ability of the structure.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF:
A.
The landowner will acquaint himself with the provisions of these plans and specifications
to deter ine that the completed structure will fulfill his present and future needs. Inspection
during c nstruction will be the responsibility of the landowner.
"He ay request inspection by SCS employees dur' nstructio nd u on com letion of work.
Wher rom overnment a s, or when the am fa11s under the
am Safety Law of 1967, inspection and approval by SCS employees are mandatory.
B. Conttactors:
The contractor will acquaint himself with the provisions of these plans and specifications,
conditions at the site that may affect his schedule of operation, and the location and meaning
of all stakes on the site. Failure to do so will not relieve him of the difficulties and cost
pursuant to satisfactorily completing the work in compliance with these plans and specifications
and any written or verbal contract with the landowner. All bench marks, grade, and line stakes
will be left undisturbed and protected by the contractor to facilitate construction and in-
spection.
The co nthwr ermitting, will schedule his work so that he will start on the
agree date and w ntinuous operation until satisfactorily completed.
amages occurring to completed work or materials, y t e e ements or of erwise, during con-
struction, will be the responsibility of the contractor. Partial or damaged work and/or re-
p e materia s damage rom any cause will b- or by the contractor. Absence of in-
spections during construction will not relieve the contractor from completin the wore
strict compliance with these plans and specifications.
Upon com s e ui ment, the contractor will request a
final inspection by the landowner and an employee of the SCS. The contractor will t e e-1ve
approva as been comp ete satisfactorily an or he may complete those items that

available, will inspect and advise on rerhnigues dur, o assure is actory
mince the plans and specifications. .
tSCS employees will upon reasonable notice, conduct a final inspection for strict compli-
ance with all plans and specifications concerning this- structure. Inspection will determine
is -ctory completion of work so that a approval may be given for the eligibility of
the landowner to receive benefits from any Government agency concerned with this structure,
(b final payment ma be made to the contractor, and (c) the pool may be filled under the
provisions o the Dam Safety Law of 1967.

Prepared by Gerald Harbinson
DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL IMPACT AREA
If the dam were to suddenly breach a flood wave would flow
own the f oo p ain below the structure. Approximately
4,000 ft. downstream the creek joins two other streams and
flows into a double culvert under County Line Rd. Over this
distance a flood wave would s read out into the flood -plal-n
°--- P
AFFECT ON THE AREA FROM A SUDDEN BREACH
A sudden breach would be life threatening for anybody in its
path. No improvements can be made downstream of the dam in
the pot ration impact area wi re-evaluating the hazard
class of dam.
PRECAUTION ON DEVELOPMENT
Any development downstream of dam that changes the hazard
class will require either an up-grade of the dam to the
approximate hazard class or removing the dam.

INSTRUCTIONS
All dams built with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service
must have a hazard classification assigned by the person responsible for
approving the design. Most farm ponds, except in borderline cases,-can
be classified after a complete field investigation without assuming failure
and making breach studies. This data sheet is to be used for recording
the information obtained through field studies and for documenting the
hazard classification. Where there is a possibility for loss of life or
major property damage from a dam failure, an approved breach routing
procedure is to be used. (Consult with the area engineer.)
Hazard classifications of dams are made by evaluating the possibility
for loss of life and the extent of damage that would result if the dam
should suddenly breach--that is--a section of the dam be suddenly and
completely washed out. It is to be assumed that a wall of water will be
released equal to the height of the dam. This flood wave will be reduced
in height as it moves down the flood plain: The wave height (depth of
flooding) should be evaluated for a sufficient distance downstream until
the estimated flood level will not cause significant damage to improvements,
such as homes, buildings, roads, utilities, reservoirs, etc. The breach
flood level will be reduced depending on the valley storage, slope, and
openess of the flood plain; however, in a narrow steep valley slopes
steeper than 10% should be given special consideration. One method of
evaluation is to compare available valley storage (under flood conditions)
to impoundment storage (figured to the top of the dam) for each reach
evaluated with a judgment estimate made of the flood wave height at all
critical points downstream.
Should there be any questions about the hazard classification for a dam,
the area engineer should be consulted before making design commitments.

What Is a Critical
Erosion Area?
A critical erosion area is any erod-
ing, sediment-producing area such
as excessively eroding cropland,
cuts, fills, streambanks, landfills,
roadbanks, dams, spillways, bor-
row areas, and denuded or gullied
areas where vegetative stabilization
is difficult by ordinary methods.
Stabilizing these areas will reduce
damage from sediment and runoff
to downstream areas, and improve
wildlife habitat and visual resources.
.
Solis
Usually the soil material on which
seeding or planting is to be done is
infertile, poor in structure and ag-
gregation, low in organic matter
and may be highly acid. This ma-
terial is highly susceptible to ero-
sion due to slow water intake and
rapid runoff. To aid in overcom-
ing these conditions, organic mat-
ter can be applied in the form of
manure, lime applied where
needed, and appropriate commer-
cial fertilizers added. On most
sites, four inches of loamy topsoil
applied to the site before seeding
enhances establishment of ground
cover and minimizes maintenance.
Site Preparation
Where equipment will travel over
the site during planting and/or for
maintenance after establishment,
slopes should be no steeper than
3:1. Where practical, fill and
shape Bullied areas. Install neces-
sary water control measures such
as diversions, waterways or out-
lets, subsurface (tile) drainage and
terraces. Remove all debris, such
as stones, tree stumps, etc., that
may interfere with seeding and
maintenance operations.
Seedbed Preparation
Scarify surface to a depth of at
least four inches with a disk or
other suitable method. In some
situations, such as drainage ditch
banks, spoil banks, etc., scarifica-
tion can be excluded if lime, fertil-
izer, and seed are applied to the
roughened surface within one or
two days after earth moving.
Lime And Fertilizer
The amount, timing, and method
of application of lime and fertilizer
materials are very site specific.
These are to be determined by the
person providing assistance from
the SCS office, in accordance with
current guidance in 342-II of the
Field Office Technical Guide.
Plant Selection And
Specifications
Select plants which are best suited.
In making the selection, keep in
mind the plants' characteristics, cli-
matic adaptation, the intended
use, and level of maintenance re-
quired. Suggested time of seed-
ing, rates of seed and mixtures for
specific uses should be obtained
from the soil conservationist.
Whenever available, certified seed
tested within six months before
seeding should be used. Legumes
should be scarified, if necessary,
and inoculated with the proper
strain of nitrogen-fixing bacteria be-
fore seeding.
When grass is established by using
stolons (sprigs or runners), use pre-
caution to make certain only fresh,
moist planting material is used.
Seeding Or Planting
Uniformly apply seed with a drill,
cultipacker seeder or hydroseeder.
Seed may also be broadcast by us-
ing a whirlwind or cyclone seeder
or by hand. Cover the seed 1/4 to
1 inch deep, depending on the
size of the seed, and firm the soil
except where a cultipacker or hy-
droseeder is used.
Mulching
Mulching is a very important step
in establishing vegetation on criti-
cal areas. Mulch will help hold
moisture, protect soil from ero-
sion, hold seed in place, and keep
soil temperatures more constant.
It should be applied uniformly by
mechanical means or by hand.
Some bare soil should still be vis-
ible through the mulch. Hay or
straw or other fibrous mulches are
best for mulching newly seeded
areas. Most mulch materials are
subject to blowing and must be
tied down by anchoring or press-
ing into the soil. Netting, asphalt
spray, peg and twine, or other
methods may be used.
Maintenance
Lime and fertilizer should be ap-
plied under a regular program
based on soil fertility test and the
use and general appearance of the
vegetative cover. In the absence
of a soil test, the following are sug-
gested lime and fertilizer rates:
One to two tons of limestone per
acre every three to five years, and
at least 40 pounds each of nitro-
gen, phosphorus, and potassium
(400 lbs. of 10-10-10 or equiva-
lent) per acre annually. Nitrogen
may be reduced one-half or more
if legumes are established alone or
with grasses.
Care should be taken not to dam-
age the vegetation mechanically
through use of improper mowing
equipment or by too frequent
and/or close mowing.

tablishing treatment on critical ero-
sion areas with permanent ground

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR FARM POND
OWNER
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out the routine
maintenance work needed to keep this pond operating as planned. Routine main-
tenance 'is considered to be normal-good care of the pond. Good maintenance
adds to beauty, usefullness, and permanence.
In addition severe storms that cause flow in the vegetated spillway will likely
call for maintenance, such as, replacing and compacting soil in washes or gullies,
reestablishment of vegetation, removal of debris and the like. When such work is
necessary, the Soil Conservation Service, if requested,.will provide technical -
assistance to help with the repair. This type of maintenance should be done as
soon as possibleafter damage is discovered. --
The routine maintenance of this pond involves the following:
1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the dam and in the spillway:
k`i? 3t FPSC(A<_' (Type of Vegetation) is being established on
these areas. Beginning in 19 (Year) and each year thereafter,
the dam and spillway should be fertilized with ,Sao pounds of
/0-'10 -to per acre to maintain a vigorous stand.
2. Removal of logs, brush, or other trash from the entrance of the pipe
spillway, the grass spillway, and the face of the dam: This should be
done after each rise in, the pond surface that deposits such material.
Unless this material is removed, the pipe spillway is likely to become
clogged and the vegetation killed in the affected areas.
3. Control of weeds, brush, and trees in the grass spillway on the dam and
in the outlet channel for a short distance below the pipe outlet: This
may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all
three. This will need to be done at least once each year and possibly
twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. You may check
with the loc21 Extension Agent or SCS office for the latest information
on spray material and the best time to apply them.
4. If the dam_and spillway are to be grazed, be sure to remove all live-
stock when grass has been grazed down to a height of 4 inches. Also,
remove livestock when the dam and spillway are wet and soft. Severe
damage can he donc__b_y_1iv_P_SGo6k. at Ruch timer,
5. Protection of the Grass,Spillway: The spillway'can be severely damaged
by uncontrolled vehicular traffic. Trails or ruts made by such traffic
could become large gullies when outflow occurs in the spillway. If ruts
or trails appear to be forming, stop all traffic within the spillway
area.

f \
6. Erosion by Wave Action: It is not expected that erosion of the dam
by waves will be a severe problem. However, should such erosion start,
lower the level of the lake until the water surface is about 4 feet
below the eroded area. Replace the soil that has been eroded away,
tamp it in place, and resod. Fertilize when the new sod takes root.
Keep the water surface drawn down and exclude livestock until the new
sod is firmly established.
Maintenance inspections of this pond should be made during the initial filling,
at least annually, and after every major storm. Items to be checked should
include, as a minimum, the following:
1. Principal Spillway
a. damage or obstructions to trash rack or gates
b. condition of riser and pipe
(1) signs of seepage
(2) separation of joints
(3) cracks or breaks
2. Emergency Spillway
a. erosion
b. sedimentation
c. weeds, small trees,'logs, fences, or other obstructions that
reduce channel capacity or may block flow

grading of the materials shall be made without due notice to the engineer. No new
aggregate, nor any aggregate found to differ in quality or properties from the
materials on which the design mix-has been based shall be used until the engineer
CONCAE-E
MRCS-NC Juw ?°°?
Area 1 Page 1
has determined its conformity with specifications and has approved a new design
rnix based on the new or altered material.
5. Consistency
the amount of water used in the concrete shall be the minimum necessary to
obtain the required workability. In no case shall the water content exceed the
amount designated in the design mix.
The consistency of the concrete shall be such that it can be worked readily into
the corners and angles of the forms and around reinforcement with the method of
placing employed on the work, but without permitting the materials to segregate
or excess free water to collect on the surface. The free water contained in the
aggregate must be considered as a part of the mixing water in computing the
water content.
The slump shall be between 2 and 4 inches when tested by "The Test for Slump
of Portland Cement Concrete," ASTM Designation C-143.
6. Mixers and Mixing
Concrete may be furnished by batch mixing at the site of work or by ready-mix
methods. The mixing equipment shall be capable of combining the aggregate,
cement and water into a uniform mixture and of discharging this mixture without
segregation.
When the concrete is delivered in ready-mix trucks, the delivery ticket must show
the time of batching and the amount of each of the ingredients in the load.
7. Forms
Material - Forms shall be of wood, steel, or other approved material.
Construction - Forms shall be true to line and grade, mortar-tight and sufficiently
rigid to prevent objectionable deformation under load. The form surfaces shall be
smooth, free from irregularities, dents, sags, or holes when used for permanently
exposed faces. All exposed joints, edges, and external corners shall be chamfered
unless otherwise directed or indicated on the drawings. Bolts and rods used for
internal ties shall be so arranged that, when the forms are removed, metal will be
not less than one (1) inch from any concrete surface.

CONCRETE
-lulY 1 °94

1 s for exposed surfaces shall be coated with a non-staining form oil
hafl.be applied before the concrete is placed. After oiling, surplus oil on
a form surfaces and any oil on the reinforcing steel or other surfaces requiring
bond with the concrete shall be removed. Forms for unexposed surfaces may be
thoroughly wetted in lieu of oiling immediately before the placing of concrete,
except that, in freezing weather, oil shall be used.
Removal - All form removal shall.be accomplished in such a manner as to prevent
injury to the concrete. Forms will not be removed before the expiration of the
minimum time indicated below except where otherwise directed or specifically
authorized.
Beams and deck-type slabs 14 days
Walls and slabs in contact with the ground 3 days
S. Embedded Items
Before concrete is placed, all embedded items will be firmly and securely fastened
in place as indicated on the drawings. Embedded items shall be free of oil and
other foreign matter.
9. Steel Reinforcement
All reinforcement shall be free from flaky rust, oil, grease, paint or other substar:ca
which would impair the bond between concrete and steel.
Steel bars for concrete reinforcement shall be deformed billet-steel bars,
conforming to ASTM Specification A-615, Grade 40.
Welded steel wire fabric shall conform to the requirements of ASTM Specification
A-185.
Reinforcement shall be accurately placed and secured in position in a manner that
will prevent its displacement during placement of the concrete. Splices of
reinforcing bars shall provide an overlap equal to at least 30 times the diameter or
the smaller bar in the splice. Welded wire fabric shall be lapped as directed by the
engineer.
10. Convevina
Concrete shall be conveyed from mixer to forms as rapidly as practicable by
methods which will prevent segregation or loss of ingredients. There shall be no
vertical drop greater than five (5) feet except where suitable equipment is provided
to prevent segregation and where specifically authorized.
No concrete shall be placed until the engineer has given his approval of the
subgrade, forms and reinforcing steel in place. No concrete shall be placed until
the engineer or his representative is present. The contractor shall notify the
engineer of his intention to pour at least 24 hours in advance.
Before any concrete is placed, the forms and subgrade shall be free of chips, dfrt,
sawdust, or other extraneous materials.
11. Placina
General - Concrete shall be worked into the corners and angles of the forms and
around all reinforcements and embedded items without permitting the materials to
segregate. Concrete shall be placed within one and one-half (1-1/2) hours after
'. the introduction of the cement to the water and aggregates.
Concrete, when deposited in the forms during hot weather, will have a
temperature not greater than 90OF at the time of placement. Ice may be used as a
portion of the mixing water to control temperatures provided all ice is melted in the
mixing process. When the atmospheric temperature reaches or exceeds 900F, the
concrete shall be placed within 45 minutes after batching.
Concrete, when deposited in the forms during cold weather, shall have a
temperature of not less than 40OF nor more than 80oF. The aggregate and mixing
water may be heated to control the concrete temperature; however, the
temperature of neither aggregates nor mixing water shall be more than 100OF just
prior to mixing. The materials shall be free from ice, snow and frozen lumps
before entering the mixer.
Concrete shall be deposited as close as possible to its final position in the forms.
The depositing of concrete shall be regulated so the concrete may be consolidated `
with a minimum lateral movement. Concrete shall be consolidated with the aid of
mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand-spading and rodding.
Vibrating equipment shall be of the internal type and shall at all times be adequate
to properly consolidate all concrete. All concrete-placing equipment and methods
shall be subject to approval.
Lifts in Concrete - All concrete shall be deposited in horizontal layers
approximately twenty (20) inches in thickness unless otherwise authorized or
directed. The placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the formation of
cold joints will be prevented. If a delay occurs in excess of a forty (40) minute
interval between any two (2) consecutive batches or loads, or in case of any delay
between placing of batches that allows previously placed concrete to take initial
set, the contractor shall discontinue the placing of concrete and make a
constructicn joint satisfactory to the engineer before proceeding with the placing
operations.
Concrete on Rock Foundation - Where concrete is to be placed on rock surfaces
the rock is to be clean, free from oil: standing or running water, mud,
objectionable coatings, debris, loose semi-detached or unsound rock or fragments.
All rock surfaces shall be wet immediately prior to placing concrete.
Concrete on Earth Foundation - Unless otherwise authorized by the engineer all
concrete shall be placed upon clean, damp surfaces which are free from frost, ice,
standing or running water. Concrete shall not be placed upon soft mud, dried
porous earth, or upon fill that has not been subject to approved rolling and
tamping. Where concrete is to be placed on dry surfaces, action must be taken to
prepare a damp, moist surface prior to placing.
12. Construction Joints
The placing of concrete will be accomplished so that construction joints occur at
locations shown on the plans or as approved. As a lift is completed, the top
surface shall be immediately and carefully protected from any condition that will
adversely affect the hardening of the concrete. Joints shall be clean and kept
damo until the new concrete is placed.

North Carolina WjA fe Resources
1. Minimum flow requirements as established by the Division of Water Resources,
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, are effective immediately
downstream of the dam.
2. To minimize temperature impacts to downstream waters, the pond outflow pipe
should be designed to draw water from near the bottom ofthe pond This will also
prevent buildup of poorly oxygenated water and improve water quality in the pond.
The easiest way to accomplish a near bottom outflow is to place a larger pipe over the
standpipe so that water flows into the bottom of the larger pipe, as shown below.

SUBJECT: Birch L. McMurray Nationwide 404 Permit Application
Construct pond dam on an unnamed tributary to Hensons Creek
Polk County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Mr. Birch L. McMurray 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 construct a pond dam, affecting a small unnamed tributary to Henson Creek.
While onsite impacts to aquatic habitat are limited, we are concerned about temperature elevation and
sedimentation of downstream waters.
Because of the limited scope of the proposed work and the small size of the waters involved, we do not
object to issuance of a 404 permit provided that the following conditions be placed on the subject permit:
1. To minimize temperature impacts to downstream waters, the pond outflow pipe should be designed to
draw water from near the bottom of the pond. This will also prevent buildup of poorly oxygenated
water and improve water quality in the pond. The easiest way to accomplish a near-bottom outflow is
to place a larger pipe over the standpipe so that water flows into the bottom of the larger pipe, as
shown below.

pond bottom
2. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of
ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director
June 6, 1997
Pond dam permit Page 2
June 6, 1997
Stringent erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained throughout construction,
and under no circumstances should earthen fill from the project be allowed to wash into downstream
waters. During future maintenance of the pond, accumulated sediments should not be flushed into
downstream waters.
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].

Per our discussion last week, I am enclosing a copy of a memorandum dated June 4, 1997
from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission regarding a "cold water discharge" trash
guard structure. 1 spoke with Mr. Mark S. Davis, Western Region Coordinator with the Habitat
Conservation Program, and he explained to me that the "cold water discharge" trash guard
structure will improve fisheries habitat within the lake and in the stream channel downstream from
the dam.
I am recommending to the Director of the Division of Land Resources, Mr. Charles H.
Gardner, P. G., P. E. that an approval to construct be issued for the proposed dam with the
stipulation that a "cold water discharge" trash guard structure be installed. As we discussed, the
"cold water discharge" trash guard structure should extend at least six feet below the normal pool
lake elevation. I am also advising the owner of the dam of this requirement by copy of this letter
and copy of the Wildlife Resources Commission memorandum.
Please contact this oM;at telephone number [phone] if I may-answer any

SUBJECT: Birch L. McMurray Nationwide 404 Permit Application
Construct pond dam on an unnamed tributary to Hensons Creek
Polk County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Johnson:
?w
?y
Mr. Birch L. McMurray 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 construct a pond dam, affecting a small unnamed tributary to Hensons Creek.
While onsite impacts to aquatic habitat are limited, we are concerned about temperature elevation and
sedimentation of downstream waters.
Because of the limited scope of the proposed work and the small size of the waters involved, we do not
object to issuance of a 404 permit provided that the following conditions be placed on the subject permit:
1. To minimize temperature impacts to downstream waters, the pond outflow pipe should be designed to
draw water from near the bottom of the pond. This will also prevent buildup of poorly oxygenated
water and improve water quality in the pond. The easiest way to accomplish a near-bottom outflow is
to place a larger pipe over the standpipe so that water flows into the bottom of the larger pipe, as
shown below.

pond bottom
2. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of
ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director
Pond dam permit Page 2
June 6, 1997
3. Stringent erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained throughout construction,
and under no circumstances should earthen fill from the project be allowed to wash into downstream
waters. During future maintenance of the pond, accumulated sediments should not be flushed into
downstream waters.
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].

We have reviewed the subject project and find no cause for objecting to the design and
specifications of the dam with the following provisions:
1. Minimum flow requirements as established by the Division of Water Resources,
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, are effective immediately
downstream of the dam
2. To minimize temperature impacts to downstream waters, the pond outflow pipe
should be designed to draw water from near the bottom of the pond. This will
prevent-buildup of poorly oxygenated water and improve water quality in the pond.
The easiest way to accomplish a near-bottom outflow is to place a larger pipe over the

As you are aware, due to the height of the dam and the amount of water
impounded, your proposed pond is subject to the Dam Safety Law of North
Carolina. This law requires that a permit be obtained before construction
is started.
Enclosed are copies of plans and specifications for your pond.
You should retain one (1) copy'for your,use during construction and for a
permanent record. There, •--(3T tlopies are for your proposed contractors
Five (5) copies along:-with your request Eor a perm±t--,to construct should be

As soon as you receive the permit to construct, please notify this office
and we will schedule a day with you and.do.the layout work.
Under the law, you are responsible for compliance with all construction
requirements and state regulations in constructing and maintaining your
dam. We are required to make.construction:.checks while the dam is being
built and. to -make-?.a..final . check..when- construction is completed. There will
be critical items...of_construction which ,..we...must--inspect-before additional
work can proceed. These items include excavation for the cutoff core
trench and the installation of the drain pipe and anti-seep collars which
cannot be inspected after the dam is completed. Before you fill your pond,
we must certify to the to the State that the dam was built according to the
plans and specifications." These and other items will be discussed in'more
detail with you and your contractor when we meet to do the layout of you
pond. As you may know, we are required to withdraw assistance on this job
and notify the State Dam Safety Engineer, if you proceed in the building of
your dam before we inspect these critical items or if the dam is not being
constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications.

EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES
Erosion and sediment control measures shall include the following:
a, Staging of Earth Work activities-
The excavation and moving of soil materials shall be scheduled
so that the smallest possible areas will be bare and
unprotected from erosion for the shortest time feasible.
b. Control of Sediment from Cutoff Trench Dewaterine
Sediment from dewatering shall be controlled by ponding water
in flood plain below dam or pumping water into an excavated
pit.
C. Diversions
Diversions shall be used to divert water away from disturbed
areas and also located as needed to provide optimum erosion
control during vegetative establishment period. An example is
diversion located uphill of a borrow area or emergency spillway
slope. A typical diversion is 1.5 ft deep and shaped to easily
mow. The Soil Conservation Service will determine location, of
diversions.

POTENTIAL IMPACT STUDY REPORT
Prepared by Gerald Harbinson
DESCRIPTION OF POTENTIAL IMPACT AREA
If the dam were to suddenly breach a flood wave would flow
town the flo"'`57ZTpI-ain below the structure. Approximately
4,000 ft. downstream the creek joins two other streams and
flows into a double culvert under County Line Rd. Over this
distance a flood wave would spread out into the fl oZU AIM
AFFECT ON THE AREA FROM A SUDDEN BREACH
A sudden breach would be life threatening for anybody in its
path. No improvements can be made downstream of the am in
the pote tion impact area wi re-evaluating the hazard
class of dam.
PRECAUTION ON DEVELOPMENT
Any development downstream of dam that changes the hazard
class will require either an up-grade of the dam to the
approximate hazard class or removing the dam.

Rip and disk all disturbed area 511 deep. Incorporate two tons of
lime per acre. Apply 1000 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre--smooth
seedbed. Unifo lbs. of fescue seed per acre and 25
lbs. of Abruzzi rye grain per acre. See ing should be completes

Note: NRCS will determine area to be seeded before vegetative
work is started.
What Is a Critical
Erosion Area?
A critical erosion area is any erod-
ing, sediment-producing area such
as excessively eroding cropland,
cuts, fills, streambanks, landfills,
roadbanks, dams, spillways, bor-
row areas, and denuded or gullied
areas where vegetative stabilization
is difficult by ordinary methods.

Stabilizing these areas will reduce
damage from sediment and runoff
to downstream areas, and improve
wildlife habitat and visual resources.
Solis
Usually the soil material on which
seeding or planting is to be done is
infertile, poor in structure and ag-

and may be highly acid. This ma-

rapid runoff. To aid in overcom-

manure, lime applied where
needed, and appropriate commer-
cial fertilizers added. On most
sites, four inches of loamy topsoil

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR FARM POND.
OWNER
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out the routine
maintenance work needed to keep this pond operating as planned. Routine main-
tenance is considered to be normal. good care of the pond. Good maintenance
adds to beauty, usefullness, and permanence.
In addition severe storms that cause flow in the vegetated spillway will likely
call for maintenance, such as, replacing and compacting soil in washes or gullies,
reestablishment of vegetation, removal of debris and the like. When such work is
necessary, the Soil. Conservation Service, if. requested, will..provide technical -
assistance't6-help with 'the repair-. This type of maintenance should be done as
soon as'possible'after damage is discovered.
The routine maintenance of this pond involves the following:
1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the dam and in the spillway:
%-t_ 3f F=PS rc,Tc (Type of Vegetation) is being established on
these areas. Beginning in V0 -/ (Year) and each year thereafter,
the dam and spillway should be fertilized with So 0 pounds of
lo-'10 -to per acre to maintain a vigorous stand.
2. Removal of logs, brush, or other trash from the entrance of the pipe
spillway, the grass spillway, and the face of the dam: This should be
done after each rise in, the pond surface that deposits such material.
Unless this material is removed, the pipe spillway is likely to become
clogged and the vegetation killed in the affected areas.
3. Control of weeds, brush, and trees in the grass spillway on the dam and
in the outlet channel for a short distance below the pipe outlet: This
may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all
three. This will need to be done at least once each year and possibly
twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. You may check
with the local Extension Agent or SCS office for the latest information
on spray material and the best time to apply them.
4. If the dam.and spillway are to be grazed, be sure to remove all live-
stock when grass has been grazed down to a height of 4 inches. Also,
remove livestock when the dam and spillway are wet and soft. Severe
- ,iama.ge-.can--be-done-by-l iv-.stock-a t-such-t-ime s.-
5. Protection of the Grass Spillway: The spillway'can be severely damaged
by uncontrolled vehicular traffic. Trails or ruts made by such traffic
could become large gullies when outflow occurs in the spillway. If ruts
or trails appear to be forming, stop. all traffic within the spillway
area.
- 1 -

6. Erosion by Wave Action: It is not expected that erosion of the dam
by waves will be a severe problem. However, should such erosion start,
lower the level of the lake until the water surface is about 4 feet
below the eroded area. Replace the soil that has been eroded away,
tamp it in place, and resod. Fertilize when the new sod takes root.
Keep the water surface drawn down and exclude livestock until the new
sod is firmly established.
Maintenance inspections of this pond should be made during the initial filling,
at least annually, and after every major storm. Items to be checked should
include, as a minimum, the following:
1. Principal Spillway
a. damage or obstructions to trash rack or gates
b. condition of riser and pipe
(1) signs of seepage
(2) separation of joints
(3) cracks or'breaks
2. Emergency Spillway
a. erosion
b. sedimentation
c. weeds, small trees,'logs, fences, or other obstructions that
reduce channel capacity or may block flow
3. Reservoir Area
a. fallen or cut trees
b. undesirable vegetative growth
c. other floating or lodged debris
4. Embankments
a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION
CONCRETE
r
1. Scone
This specification covers the quality of concrete, steel reinforcement, the
forming, placing, curing and other requirements for concrete construction of
simple slabs, low walls (not to exceed 4 feet), curbing, aprons, ballast etc.
2. Definitions
In this specification, the "engineer" is the designated Natural Resources
Conservation Service representative. The "contractor" is the individual or
company who performs the construction.
3. Composition
Concrete shall be composed of Portland cement, fine and coarse aggregates,
water and, when specified, air-entrainment, set retardant or other admixtures.
These materials shall conform to the following requirements:
Portland Cement - Portland cement shall meet the requirements of ASTM
Specification C-150 for Type I cement unless otherwise specified. Cement shall
be properly stored and protected from weather, dampness or other destructive
agent. Any cement which is damaged will be rejected and not permitted to be
used in the work.
Aggregate - Fine aggregate shall meet the requirements of N.C. Department of
Transportation (DOT) standard size number 2S. Coarse aggregate shall be N.C.
OCT size number 57 or 67.
Water - Water shall be clean and free from oil, salt, acid, alkali, organic matter or
other harmful substances.
4. Desion Mix
The contractor shall designate the design mix and submit it to the engineer for
approval prior to placement of any concrete. Unless authorized by the engineer,
the concrete mix will meet the following guidelines for a cubic yard of concrete:
Cement 564 lbs. minimum - (6 bags)
Coarse aggregate 1850 lbs. maximum
Fine aggregate 1450 lbs. maximum
Water 6 gal./bag of cement ma_xim um-(36
gallons)
The contractor will submit evidence as required by the engineer, showing that the
concrete ingredients comply with the requirements of this specification. source After the design mix has been approved- no change in due not cheto the engineer. Nd new
grading of the materials shall be made without
aggregate, nor any aggregate found to differ in quality or properties from the
materials on which the design mix has been based shall be used until the engineer

CONCRETE
NRCS-NC Jufv 199-
Area 1 Page t
mix based on the new or altered matenai.
5. Consistency
The amount of water used in the concrete Shall be the minimum necessary to
obtain the required workability. In no case shall the water content exceed the
amount designated in the design mix.
The consistency of the concrete shall be such that it can be worked readily into
the corners and angles of the forms and around reinforcement with the method of
placing employed on the work, but without permitting the materials to segregate
or excess free water to collect on the surface. The free water contained in the
aggregate must be considered as a part of the mixing water in computing the
water content.
The slump shall be between 2 and 4 inches when tested by "The Test for Slump
of Portland Cement Concrete," ASTM Designation C-143.
6. Mixers and Mixing
Concrete may be furnished by batch mixing at the site of work or by ready-mix
methods. The mixing equipment shall be capable of combining the aggregate,
cement and water into a uniform mixture and of discharging this mixture without
j segregation.
When the concrete is delivered in ready-mix trucks, the delivery ticket must show
j the time of batching and the amount of each of the ingredients in the load.
I
7. Forms
Material - Forms shall be of wood, steel, or other approved material.
Construction - Forms shall be true to line and grade, mortar-tight and sufficiently
rigid to prevent objectionable deformation under load. The form surfaces shall be
smooth, free from irregularities, dents, sags, or holes when used for permanently
exposed faces. All exposed joints, edges, and external corners shall be chamfered
unless otherwise directed or indicated on the drawings. Bolts and rods used for
internal ties shall be so arranged that, when the forms are removed, metal will be
not less than one (1) inch from any concrete surface.

CONCRETF
MRCS-NC July 1994
Area 1 Page 2
T . .
t ,orris for exposed surfaces shall be coated with a non-staining form oil
ll.be applied before the concrete is placed. After oiling, surplus oil on
?:siha
e form surfaces and any oil on the reinforcing steel or other surfaces requiring
bond with the concrete shall be removed. Forms for unexposed surfaces may be
thoroughly wetted in lieu of oiling immediately before the placing of concrete,
except that, in freezing weather, oil shall be used.
Removal - All form removal shall be accomplished in such a manner as to prevent
injury to the concrete. Forms will not be removed before the expiration of the
minimum time indicated below except where otherwise'directed or specifically
authorized.
Beams and deck-type slabs 14 days
Walls'and slabs in contact with the ground 3 days
8. Embedded Items
Before concrete is placed, all embedded items will be firmly and securely fastened
in place as indicated on the drawings. Embedded items shall be free of oil and
other foreign matter.
9. Steel Reinforcement
All reinforcement shall be free from flaky rust, oil, grease, paint or other substance
which would impair the bond between concrete and steel.
Steel bars for concrete reinforcement shall be deformed billet-steel bars,
conforming to ASTM Specification A-615, Grade 40.
Welded steel wire fabric shall conform to the requirements of ASTM Specification
A-185.
Reinforcement shall be accurately placed and secured in position in a manner that
will prevent its displacement during placement of the concrete. Splices of
reinforcing bars shall provide an overlap equal to at least 30 times the diameter of
the smaller bar in the splice. Welded wire fabric shall be lapped as directed by the
engineer.
10. Conveving
Concrete shall be conveyed from mixer to forms as rapidly as practicable by
methods which will prevent segregation or loss of ingredients. There shall be no
vertical drop greater than five (5) feet except where suitable equipment is provided
to prevent segregation and where specifically authorized.
No concrete shall be placed until the engineer has given his approval of the
subgrade, forms and reinforcing steel in place. No concrete shall be placed until
the engineer or his representative is present. The contractor shall notify the
engineer of his intention to. pour at least 24 hours in advance.
Before any concrete is placed, the forms and subgrade shall be free of chips, dirt,
sawdust, or other extraneous materials.
11. Placina
General - Concrete shall be worked into the corners and angles of the forms and
around all reinforcements and embedded items without permitting the materials to
segregate. Concrete shall be placed within one and one-half (1-1 /2) hours after
the introduction of the cement to the water and aggregates.
Concrete, when deposited in the forms during hot weather, will have a
temperature not greater than 90OF at the time of placement. Ice may be used as a
portion of the mixing water to control temperatures provided all ice is melted in the
mixing process. When the atmospheric temperature reaches or exceeds 900F, the
concrete shall be placed within 45 minutes after batching.
Concrete, when deposited in the forms
temperature of not less than 40OF nor
water may be heated to control the coi
r temperature of neither aggregates nor i
prior to mixing. The materials shall be
before entering the mixer.
during cold weather, shall have a
nore than 800F. The aggregate and mixing
crete temperature; however, the
fixing water shall be more than 1000F just
'ree from ice, snow and frozen lumps
Concrete shall be deposited as close as possible to its final position in the forms.
The depositing of concrete shall be regulated so the concrete may be consolidate
with a minimum lateral movement. Concrete shall be consolidated with the aid of
mechanical vibrating equipment supplemented by hand-spading and rodding.
Vibrating equipment shall be of the internal type and shall at all times be adequate
to properly consolidate all concrete. All concrete-placing equipment and methods
shall be subject to approval.
Lifts in Concrete - All concrete shall be deposited in horizontal layers
approximately twenty (20) inches in thickness unless otherwise authorized or
directed. The placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the formation of
cold joints will be prevented. If a delay occurs in excess of a forty (40) minute
interval between any two (2) 'consecutive batches or loads, or in case of any delay
between placing of batches that allows previously placed concrete to take initial
set, the contractor shall discontinue the placing of concrete and make a
construction joint satisfactory to the engineer before proceeding with the placing
operations.
Concrete on Rock Foundation - Where concrete is to be placed on rock surfaces
the rock is to be clean, free from oils standing or running water, mud,
objectionable coatings, debris, loose semi-detached or unsound rock or fragments.
All rock. surfaces shall be wet immediately prior to placing concrete.
Concrete on Earth Foundation - Unless otherwise authorized by the engineer all
concrete shall be placed upon clean, damp surfaces which are free from frost, ice,
standing or running water. Concrete shall not be placed upon soft mud, dried
porous earth, or upon fill that has not been subject to approved rolling and
tamping. Where concrete is to be placed on dry surfaces, action must be taken to
prepare a damp, moist surface prior to placing.
12. Construction Joints
The placing of concrete will be accomplished so that construction joints occur at
locations shown on the plans or as approved. As a lift is completed, the top
surface shall be immediately and carefully protected from any condition that will
adversely affect the hardening of the concrete Joints shall be clean and keot ,
damn until the new concrete is placed.
13. Expansion or Contraction Joints

Regional Water Qua Supervisor
From: Wanda Frazier -W9-4
Asheville Regional Office
Date: July 29, 1997
Rat Staff Report for 401 Water Quality Certification
Permit number 0000.592
I met with Mr. Birch McMurray (his name was misspelled as
"Birtch" on your staff report form) today and walked over the
area that will become a 2.1 acre pond. Mr. McMurray is a retired
veterinarian who is in the process of putting his farm land into
the MRCS stewardship program.
The stream that will be impacted is an unnamed tributary to
Rensona Creek. I calculated the stream channel area that will be
impacted to be 550 feet in length (that number is from the
paperwork submitted) and 1.5 feet in width (average of 1-2 feet
wide on July 29, 1997). This comes out to be 825 square feet or
0.0189 acres. No wetlands will be impacted.
Steve Chapin from the tTSACOE told Mr. McMurray that since
his application was submitted prior to the new rules, no
mitigation will be required. Their action ID number for this
project is 199702722. A nationwide 26 permit was issued on
6-27-97.
Mr. McMurray is very anxious to begin and complete
construction as soon as possible so the he can seed (grass) the
impaoted area to prevent erosion and sediment impacts to the pond
and creels. He would like to hear something from your office as
quickly as possible so'that he will be able to let the contract
out for bids (which will take 30 days or more).
My experience with Mr. McMurray was that he was very
pleasant and eager to help in any way during the site visit. He
certainly has spent considerable time and money on this project
getting together all the appropriate and, required plans, pexmits
approvals, and paperwork.
Please give me a call if you have any questions. I told Mr.
McMurray to give you a call in a couple of days to see is there
are any problems or anything we overlooked. Thank you for your
attention to this matter.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Birch McMurray
115 Clifton Drive
Athens, GA 30606
Dear Mr. McMurray:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material and
flood 0.04 acres of waters for the purpose of constructing a pond at your property (Tract T-
1476/fields 5 and 7), as you described in your application dated 12 July 1997. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
3108. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued by the
Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you
go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire
when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation
may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification
and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
Attachment
