MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Review of an application by Clifton Hutchison to restore eroding stream banks and
exclude livestock from the riparian zone along an unnamed tributary to East Prong
Roaring River, Wilkes County.
Mr. Clifton Hutchison, 6501 Traphill Road, Traphill, North Carolina 28658, in cooperation with
Wilkes Soil and Water Conservation District (WSWCD), 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. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and site visit was
conducted with Mr. Hutchison and Mr. Barry Greer with WSWCD on 21 August 1997. 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 purpose of the project is to remove livestock from the stream's riparian zone, restore
severely eroding stream banks and restore the stream channel to a more natural condition. The unnamed
tributary flows into the East Prong Roaring River below the section managed as Designated Public
Mountain Trout Water by the NCWRC.
We are pleased that Mr. Hutchison and the WSWCD are working together to restore this section
of badly degraded stream channel damaged by livestock. This project should help improve water quality
and reduce sedimentation in this tributary. Therefore, we have no objection to the project as proposed.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 910/366-2982.
