Dear Mr. Johnson,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to extend two (2) pipes and
two (2) box culverts along Old Balsam Road in Haywood County. The pipes and culverts carry
tributaries of Richland Creek (DEM Class C - Trout). We are requesting authorization under
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to extend pipes and culverts.
I am sending drawings for pipe and box culvert replacements, general notes and standards on
erosion control measures, and a marked county map.
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and
erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to
ensure sedimentation and erosion are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not
functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with better devices. The rock silt screen
will be in place prior to pipe construction and will remain in place until the project is stabilized.
By copy of this letter I am asking Mr. David Yow, North Carolina Resources Commission,
District Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide permit
request.

TEMPORARY SILT FENCE*
A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of a fill section to prevent off-
site sedimentation. It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at the bottom,
stretched and supported by steel posts. The silt fence reduces the water flow while
retaining the sediment. They may also be used to divert water flow to protected
outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant rainfall to ensure there
effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall not be
installed across streams, ditches, or waterways.
AREAS OF USE:
• At toe of fill sections where sediment runoff can be stored and contained
inside the project limits.

TEMPORARY ROCK SILT CHECK TYPE-BS

A temporary -rock silt check type-B (also called check dam) is a small dam with. a
weir used to reduce gullying in drainage ditches that are to be filled or
permanently stabilized at a later date. These type-B rock silt checks help reduce
the flow velocity and are generally made of class-B stone. They are used in ditches
during construction where the grade meets and/or exceeds 3%.
AREAS OF USE:
• In channels, roadside ditch outlets, temporary silt ditches, and temporary
diversions.
• In conjunction with type-B silt basins.
DESIGN CRPTERIA:
• Center of rock silt check shall be at least 1 foot lower than the outer edges
(top of channel sides)
The spacing (ft.) _ (3 / % of ditch grade)-X 100 ft.
