Dear John:
The Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base,
and pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1627 (Burgess
Rd.), in Ashe County during the 1993-1994 fiscal year. Dine to the
proximity of said stream, bank stabilization is required with Class
II Rip/Rap for armor protection, we are requesting 404 Nationwide
permit no. 13. Also there are 3 existing cross line drainage
structures that will need replacing, or upgrading, in which we are
requesting a 404 Nationwide permit no. 14.
Attached is a straight line sketch with proposed erosion control,
stream, stream embankment, pipe crossings, and construction limits.
In addition I am sending sketch of areas along the road, with cross
sections to cover same where project encroaches inside the'25 ft.
buffer zone, and marked county map.
By copy of this letter I am asking Mr. Joe Mickey, Jr., of the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission District Fisheries Biologist
to comment directly to you concerning the 4b4 Nationwide Permit
request.
Also by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization to proceed
under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act from the Division of
Environmental Management.

EROSION CONTROL SCHEDULE
All adequate temporary erosion control measures will be
installed before clearing and grubbing operations begin.
As construction progresses temporary and permanent
erosion control devices shall be installed in a timely
manner.
?3) All siltation and erosion control devices shall be
properly maintained until no Aonger needed.
t4? As project progresses, request will promptly be made to
the Division Roadside Environmental Unit for stage and
permanent seeding.
(5) Any removal of siltation devices will be based on the
condition of established ground cover of that area the
device 16 serving.
SPECIAL ROCK ToE EmBANKNIEN"r I' ILL SLCI'ION:
On projects where fill material must be placed in a Buffer Zone, it must be built with a rock toe
embankment. Fill should then be placed behind the rock embankment such that no earth mater-
ial is directly exposed to the buffer zone area. The rock must extend up the slope so that the
entire slope is plated with the stone. This procedure shall be implemented in the sequence as
outlined in the detail shown below

SUBJECT: A review of an application by NCDOT to grade, drain,
base and pave SR 1627 (Burgess Road) adjacent to an
unnamed tributary to Roan Creek, Ashe County
Dear Mr. Jolly:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) 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 field biologists on
our staff conducted a site visit on February 16, 1993. 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 NCDOT is proposing to do bank stabilization work from
stations 10+00 to 12+00 and replace or upgrade 3 cross line
drainage pipes as part of the SR 1627 road improvement project.
This project is adjacent to an unnamed tributary to Peak Creek
which is Designated Public Mountain Trout Water. The unnamed
tributary has an average width of 1 foot and substrate of silt,
sand, gravel and cobble. The stream is to small to be utilized
by trout, however, Peak Creek does contain wild trout.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our
information on the range of trout in the project area, we do not
believe this project will cause significant effects to waters
supporting trout. Therefore, we do not object to the project as
proposed provided that:
1. Adequate erosion controls are maintained throughout the
life of the project in order to protect aquatic
resources in Peak Creek from sedimentation.'

2. The project should be timed so that disturbed
soils can be stabilized with rooted vegetation along the
steep grade from stations 7+00 to 30+00 before the
nongrowing winter season sets in.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at
919 366-2982.
Sincerely,
Joe Mickey, Jr.

Dear Mr. Bennett:
Reference is made to your letter of February 4, 1993, regarding your plans
to discharge dredged/fill material into the waters/wetlands of an unnamed
tributary of Roan Creek, associated with bank stabilization between stations
10+00 to 12+00 included with the paving upgrade of S.R. 1627 (Burgess Road),
Wagoner, Ashe County, North Carolina. Reference is also made to Mr. Joe
Mickey's letter of February 16, 1993, in which the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission expressed no objections to the planned road improvements
provided that:
a. No heavy equipment is operated in the live streams in order to
minimize sedimentation and prevent introduction of other pollutants.
b. Erosion control measures should be implemented where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
c. The project should be timed so that disturbed soils can be stabilized
with rooted vegetation along the steep grade from stations 7+00 to 30+00
before the non-growing winter season sets in.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for bank stabilization
activities provided:
a. No material is placed in excess of the minimum needed for erosion
protection;
b. The bank stabilization activity is less than 500 feet in length;

-2-
c. The activity will not exceed an average of one cubic yard per running
foot placed along the bank below the plane of the ordinary high water mark or
the high tide line;
d. No material is placed in any special aquatic site, including wetlands;
e. No material is of the type or is placed in any location or in any
manner so as to impair surface water flow into or out of any wetlands area;
f. No material is placed in a manner that will be eroded by normal or
expected high flows; and
g. The activity is part of a single and complete project.
Special conditions of this permit state that before discharging dredged or
fill material into waters of the United States occurring within the 25
mountain counties of North Carolina that contain trout waters, the applicant
will obtain approval from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission.
Review of the information you have provided, and the comments submitted by the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, reveals that your proposed work
is authorized by nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions. This nationwide permit does not
relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any required State or local
approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
Please be reminded that no excavated or fill materials may be placed in
any waters or wetland areas without prior Federal permit authorization. Please
contact this office for any future proposed expansion that may propose impacts
to any water or wetland areas subject to Department of the Army permitting
authority.
