Box 250 Bryson City, NC 28713 Dear Mr. Styles: You have our approval to place fill material in 0.01 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of improving SR 1390M, as you described in your application dated 6 May 1996. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3026. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 3 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 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 Environmental Management under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733- 1786.

Field Office Room 75, Grove Park Ave. Asheville, NC 28801-2714 Dear Mr. Johnson, ?Q The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base, and pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1390M, Piney Mountain Road in Jackson County. In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, and due to the rechannelization of an unnamed tributary of the Tuckasegee River (DEM Class C), and the replacement of one (1) pipe culvert, we are requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. I am sending a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion control construction limits at various sites along the project. In addition, a typical section of the road, cross sections, drawings for the pipe replacement and the channel change of the unnamed tributary of the Tuckasegee River, general notes and standards on erosion control measures, and a marked county map are enclosed. We propose to replace the new culvert slightly below the existing streambed elevation where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impact to wildlife habitat and allow the existing gradient to remain as unchanged as physically possible. 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. ink Mr. Bob Johnson Page 2 May 6, 1996 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. 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. In addition, I am asking Mr. Yow, Mr. Ed Ingle, (NC DOT), and Mr. Richard Phillips, (DEHNR) to comment directly to me concerning this permit request. 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, C. R. Sty es, . E.

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 aftei each significant rainfall to ensure there effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall no 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.

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 CRnmRiA: • Center of rock silt check shall be at least 1 foot lower than the outer edges (top of channel sides) • The spacing (fQ _ (3 / % of ditch grade) X 1001L' 0 27 March, 1992 77 r W F- ..

The type-B rock pipe inlet protection•shall be used at pipe inlets which are 24 inches and less in d aTn+ where there is. insufficient space for a type-A rock pipe inlet protection with storage area. The type-B rock pipe inlet proton utilizes class A stone lined with 5 or #57 stone to protect drainage pipe structures by impounding the sediment laden water before it enters the pipe to trap sediment This device can also be used around the inlet of temporary slope drains where space is limited at the outlet end of slope drain such that a basin or other device can not be used. AREAS OF USE.- 0 At inlets to pipes no larger than 24 inches in diame:e: where it receives flow from severd directions. • In low flow areas where ii6t of way is limited.

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.
