DWQ Project No. 010808
SR 1178 (Found Forest Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. C.R. Styles, P.E., District Engineer
NCDOT
P.O. Box 250
Bryson City, NC 28713
Dear Mr. Styles:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 119
linear feet of unnamed tributaries to Little Whitewater Creek in order improve SR 1178 (Found Forest
Road) in Jackson County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated 2
May 2001. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification No. 3289 corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit
Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed
with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water
Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit' unless
otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is
thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
1. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the
trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15, or as otherwise determined by the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from
sedimentation during construction.
2. Follow the stormwater management requirements specific to HQW as described in 15A NCAC 2H
.1006.
3. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0024) must
be implemented prior to any ground-disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic
resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 5
days of ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control.
4. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel should not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of culvert extensions.
5. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.

Page 2 of 2
6. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be regularly inspected and maintained
to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials.
7. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances should rock,
sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit,
except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts.
8. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
9. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If necessary, rip-rap should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark,
and vegetation should be used for stabilization above high water.
10. Rock silt screens at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C.
27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone Ms. Cynthia Van Der Wiele at 919.733.1786 or Mr.

401/Wetlands Unit

Raleigh, NC 27699-1650
Dear Mr. Dorney:
01 0808
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base
and pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1178, Found Forest Road in Jackson
County. In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road
standards, and due to the replacement/extension of eight (8) pipe culverts in unnamed
tributaries of Little Whitewater Creek (DEM Class C, Tr, HQW), we are requesting
authorization under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
We originally requested and received 401/404 permits for this project in 1998.
Unfortunately we experienced unusual delays in acquiring right of way due to a land exchange
that took place between the US Forest Service and a private citizen. Right of way is now
complete on this project, however, the aforementioned permits have expired. Enclosed are
copies of the original permits issued for this project (Nationwide Permit 14, Action Id.
199830847 and DWQ Project 980536). Since the parameters of the project have not changed
the USACE has indicated that they will renew our 404 permit. We have made this request to
them.
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, drawings for
the pipe replacement/extensions in the unnamed tributaries of Little Whitewater Creek, general
notes and standards on erosion control measures, a check in the amount of $475, and a
marked County Map are enclosed. We propose to install the new culverts slightly below the
existing stream bed elevation where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impact to Wildlife
habitat and allow the existing stream 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 controls are being effectively 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.
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.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H 0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
htt ://h2 .enr.state. c.us/newetlonds/strmvide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach d1re tions
vie feet)
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan ,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of constriction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed. „
Page 8 of 12
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hhtp•//h?o enr state nc us/wm/index.htm. If

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 flowwhile
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
inside the project limits.

SILT BASIN TYPE-B:

A silt basin type-B is a temporary basin built to collect sediment flowing through a
drainage way. The silt basin is built at the base of the ditch with its length being at
least 2 times the width of the basin. The type-B silt basin is generally built in
conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices that control or slow
down water flow. This device must be monitored closely and cleaned out on a
regular basis until grass is established along the ditch line and sedimentation is no
longer a problem.
AREAS OF USE:
• In conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices used in
drainage ditches.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
Width - variable
Length - 2 times width
Depth - 2 ft. minimum storage - 1800 cubic feet/acre (equals L x W x D)

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
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 1#5
or 1#57 stone to produce a ripple -effect in the stream to settle the larger sediment
. 'ne trapped sediment
particles transported in the stream from the construction
from the stream.
shall be cleaned out before the device is removed
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 -1#5 or 1#57 stone

SUBJECT: NCDOT Nationwide 404 Permit Application
Widen SR 1178 - Found Forest Road - Headwater tributaries to Little Whitewater Creek
Jackson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Mr. C. R. Styles, P.E., of the North Carolina Department of Transportation 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. I have reviewed information provided by the applicant, and an onsite
investigation was conducted on June 19, 1998, to further assess potential construction impacts on wildlife and
fisheries resources. 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 applicant proposes to install 8 culvert structures in association with roadway improvements in the
vicinity of known brook trout populations. While the affected streams are tributaries to trout water, flow and
available fish habitat is limited in the project area. The NCWRC is concerned about potential project impacts to
trout and other aquatic resources in this drainage; however, we do not object to the issuance of a 404 permit
provided the following conditions be placed on the subject permit:
1. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained on the
project site to avoid impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous
vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide
long-term erosion control.
2. Culverts should be placed with the floor of the barrels approximately one foot below the level of the
stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom materials to become established in the culvert following
installation and will allow fish passage during periods of low flow. This may require increasing the
size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements.
3. Under no circumstances should rock, sand, or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream
channel under authorization of this pennit, except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts. Instream
dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life, and disturbance of the natural form of the stream
channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possibly affecting other land owners.
.
SR 1178 permit Page 2 June 25, 1998
4. Excavation of the stream crossings should be conducted in the dry, if possible. Sand bags,
cofferdams, flexible pipe, or other diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in
flowing water.
5. If concrete is used during culvert installation (headwalls), a dry work area should be maintained to
prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Uncured concrete affects water
quality and is toxic to fish and other organisms.
6. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion. These structures could
impede upstream migration of fish.
7. All work should be conducted between April 15 and November 1 to avoid impacts on trout
reproduction.
8. Stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be routed directly
into streams.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Pending availability of field staff,
the NCWRC may inspect the work site during or after construction. If there are any questions regarding these
comments, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Mark S. Davis

NATIONWIDE PERMIT #14: ROAD CROSSING. Authorizes fills for roads crossing
waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special aquatic
sites) provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a
filled area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total
of 200 linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic
sites, including wetlands;
C. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected high flows and tidal flows, and
to prevent the restriction of low flows and the movement of aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the
permittee notifies the District Engineer (DE) according to the "Notification"
general condition. This notification must include a delineation of affected
special aquatic sites, including wetlands.
NATIONWIDE PERMIT CONDITIONS
1. Navigation. No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse
effect on navigation.
2. Proper maintenance. Any structure or fill authorized shall be
properly maintained, including maintenance to ensure public safety.
3. Erosion and siltation controls. Appropriate erosion and siltation
controls must be used and maintained in effective operating condition during
construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as well as any work below
the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized
at the earliest practicable date.
4. Aquatic life movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the
movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the water body,
including those species which normally migrate through the area, unless the
activity's primary purpose is to impound water.
5. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands must be placed on
mats, or other measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
6. Regional and case-by-case conditions. The activity must comply with
any regional conditions which may have been added by the Division Engineer
(see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific conditions added by the Corps
or by the State or tribe in its Section 401 water quality certification.
: , .
12. Historic properties. No activity which may affect historic
properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of
Historic Places is authorized, until the District Engineer has complied with
the provisions of 33 CFR 325, Appendix C. The prospective permittee must be
notify the District Engineer if the authorized activity may affect any
historic properties listed, determined to be eligible, or which the
prospective permittee has reason to believe may be eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places, and shall not begin the activity until
notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the National
Historic Preservation Act have been satisfied and that the activity is
authorized. Information on the location and existence of historic resources
can be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office and the National
Register of Historic Places (see 33 CFR 330.4(8)).
13. Notification.
a. Timing. Where required by the terms of the NWP, the
prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer with a Pre-
Construction Notification (PCN) as early as possible and shall not begin the
activity:
(1) Until notified by the District Engineer that the activity
may proceed under the NWP with any special conditions imposed by the District
or Division Engineer; or
(2) If notified by the District or Division Engineer that an
individual permit is required; or
(3) Unless 30 days have passed from the District Engineer's
receipt of the notification and the prospective permittee has not received
notice from the District or Division Engineer. Subsequently, the permittee's
right to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked only in
accordance with the procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2).
b. Contents of notification. The notification must be in writing
and include the following information:
permittee;
(1) Name, address and telephone numbers of the prospective
(2) Location of the proposed project;
(3) Brief description of the proposed project; the project's
purpose; direct and indirect adverse environmental effects the project would
cause; and other NWP(s), regional general permit(s) or individual permit(s)
used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or
any related activity; and
(4) For NWP 14, the PCN must also include a delineation of
affected special aquatic sites, including wetlands (see paragraph 13.f.).
3
The District Engineer will, upon receipt of a notification, provide
immediately, e.g., facsimile transmission, overnight mail or other expeditious
manner a copy to the appropriate offices of the Fish and Wildlife Service,
State natural resource or water quality agency, EPA , State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO), and if appropriate, the National Marine Fisheries
Service. The agencies will then have 5 calendar days from the date the
material is transmitted to telephone or fax the District Engineer notice that
they intend to provide substantive, site-specific comments. If so contacted
by an agency, the District Engineer will wait an additional 10 calendar days
before making a decision on the notification. The District Engineer will
fully consider agency comments received within the specified time frame, but
will provide no response to the resource agency. The District Engineer will
indicate in the administrative record associated with each notification that
the resource agencies, concerns were considered. Applicants are encouraged to
provide the Corps multiple copies of notifications to expedite agency
notifications.
f. Wetlands Delineations. Wetland delineations must be prepared
in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. The permittee
may ask the Corps to delineate the special aquatic site. There may be some
delay if the Corps does the delineation. Furthermore, the 30-day period will
not start until the wetland delineation has been completed and submitted to
the Corps, where appropriate.
g. Mitigation. Factors that the District Engineer will consider
when determining the acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation
include, but are not limited to:
(1) To be practicable, the mitigation must be available and
capable of being done considering costs, existing technology and logistics in
light of the overall project purposes; and
(2) To the extent appropriate, permittees should consider
mitigation banking and other forms of mitigation including contributions to
wetland trust funds, in lieu fees to organizations such as The Nature
Conservancy, State or county natural resource management agencies, where such
fees contribute to the restoration, creation, replacement, enhancement or
preservation of wetlands. Furthermore, examples of mitigation that may be
appropriate and practicable include but are not limited to: reducing the size
of the project; establishing wetland or upland buffer zones to protect aquatic
resource values; and replacing the loss of aquatic resource values by
creating, restoring and enhancing similar functions and values. In addition,
mitigation must address wetland impacts, such as functions and values, and
cannot be simply used to offset the acreage of wetland losses that would occur
in order to meet the acreage limits of some of the NWPs (e.g., for 174P 26, 5
acres of wetlands cannot be created to change a 6-acre loss of wetlands to a 1
acre loss; however, 2 created acres can be used to reduce the impacts of a 3-
acre loss.).
5

4. Mitigation. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of
the United States must be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent
practicable at the project site (i.e., on-site), unless the District Engineer
approves a compensation plan that the District Engineer determines is more
beneficial to the environment than on-site minimization or avoidance measures.
5. Spawning areas. Discharges in spawning areas during spawning
seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
6. Obstructions to high flows. To the maximum extent practicable,
discharges must not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or
expected high flows or cause the relocation of the water (unless the primary
purpose of the fill is to impound waters).
7. Adverse effects from impoundments. If the discharge creates as
impoundment of water, adverse effects on the aquatic system caused by the
accelerated passage of water and/or the restriction of its flow shall be
minimized to the maximum extent possible.
8. Waterfowl breeding areas. Discharges into breeding areas for
migratory waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
9. Removal of temporary fills. Any temporary fills must be removed in
their entirety and the affected areas returned to their preexisting elevation.
REGIONAL CONDITIONS
1. Prior to the use of any NWP in a designated "Outstanding Resource
Water" (ORW), a designated "High Quality Water" (HQW) or a designated "Primary
Nursery Area" (PNA), of North Carolina or in contiguous wetlands (as defined

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base
and pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1178, Found Forest Road in Jackson
County. In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road
standards, and due to the replacement/extension of eight (8) pipe culverts in unnamed
tributaries of Little Whitewater Creek (DEM Class C, Tr, HQW), we are requesting
authorization under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
We originally requested and received 401/404 permits for this project in 1998.
Unfortunately we experienced unusual delays in acquiring right of way due to a land exchange
that took place between the US Forest Service and a private citizen. Right of way is now
complete on this project, however, the aforementioned permits have expired. Enclosed are
copies of the original permits issued for this project (Nationwide Permit 14, Action Id.
199830847 and DWQ Project 980536). Since the parameters of the project have not changed
the USACE has indicated that they will renew our 404 permit. We have made this request to
them.
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, drawings for
the pipe replacement/extensions in the unnamed tributaries of Little Whitewater Creek, general
notes and standards on erosion control measures, a check in the amount of $475, and a
marked County Map are enclosed. We propose to install the new culverts slightly below the
existing stream bed elevation where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impact to Wildlife
habitat and allow the existing stream gradient to remain as unchanged as physically possible.
