Dear Mr. Styles:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.1 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
road maintenance at SR 1162, Sitton Branch Road , as you described in your application dated 4 May
1995. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number 2735. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number 031
when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
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.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory

Dear Mr. Johnson,
10
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1162, Sitton Branch Road, in Swain County. In
order to construct this project in accordance with current secondary road standards and due to the
replacement of a pipe culvert and rechannelization of Sitton Creek (DEM Class C), we are
requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
I am sending a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion control and construction
limits at various sites along this project. In addition a typical section of the road, cross sections,
drawings for pipe culvert replacement, general notes and standards on erosion control measures and
a marked county map are enclosed. We proposed to install the new culvert slightly below the
existing streambed elevation where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impact to wildlife habitat
and allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as is physically possible.
The best management practice 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 controls are being effectivcly'controlled. If the planned devices
are not functioning as intended, they will immediately be, replaced with better devices. The silt
fences and other erosion control devices 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 Wildlife Resources
Commission, District Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide
permit request.

'%,1r. Bob Johnson

Also by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization to proceed under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act from Division of Environmental Management.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required,
please advise. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.
Yours truly,

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 maintainedDn a regular basis. Silt fences shall DQt 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.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
Kited With Wire Without Wire
Fabric Type 3 Class A Type 3 Class B
Steel posts length 5 ft 5 ft.
Post spacing 10 ft. 6-ft. maximum

TEMPORARY ROCK SILT CHECK TYPE-B:
D
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 CRITERIA:
Center of rock silt check shall be at least 1
(top of channel sides)
The spacing (ft.) = (3 / % of ditch grade) X
foot lower than the outer edges
100 ft.

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
f
d
A rock silt screen is a low-level dam structure to be used in streams below culvert
sites. Rock silt screens shall be used to trap sediment transported by running water
and shall be placed in the stream below the construction site within the right-of-
way or easement boundary. The rock silt screen utilizes class B stone lined with #5
or #57 stone to produce a ripple-effect in the stream to settle the larger sediment
particles transported in the stream from the construction site. The trapped sediment
shall be cleaned out before the device is removed from the stream.
AREAS OF USE:
• In live streams below construction sites where construction occurs in or
adjacent to the stream.
• In live streams below a culvert construction site.
• Where it can be cleaned before it is removed from stream.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Structural stone - class B stone
• Sediment control stone - # 5 or # 57 stone
• Dam height - 1.5 ft. minimum and 3 ft. maximum (shall not be higher than
1 ft. above normal flow of stream)

Dear Mr. Styles:
Repf- en e- your application of May 19, 1995, for Department of the Army (DA)
autho zatio to replace and/or extend a culvert and to relocate a segment of
Sitt n-Creek in conjunction with the upgrading of SR 1162, Sitton Branch Road,
ne .r Bryson ity, Swain County, North Carolina. The project will impact less
t n 1/3 ac of Waters of the United States. The proposal has been reviewed by

F the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Co of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal Register
on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was provided,
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of dredged or fill
material into headwaters and isolated waters.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions, and those
outlined in the attached June 27, 1995 WRC letter. This nationwide permit does
not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required state or local
approval.
This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit is modified,
reissued or revoked. All the nationwide permits are scheduled to be modified,
reissued or revoked prior to 21 January 1997. It is incumbent upon you to remain
informed of changes to the nationwide permits. We will issue a public notice
announcing the changes when they occur. Furthermore, if you commence or are
under contract to commence this activity before the date the nationwide permit
is modified or revoked, you will have twelve months from the date of the
modification or revocation to complete the activity under the present terms and
conditions of this nationwide permit.
