DWQ Project No. 010691
SR 1157 (Hoot Owl Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. Roger D. Bryan, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT Division 13
P.O. Box 3279
Asheville, NC 28802
Dear Mr. Bryan:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 100
linear feet of unnamed tributaries to Roaring Branch in order to improve SR 1157 (Hoot Owl Road) and
extend three culverts in Mitchell County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your
application dated May 1, 2001 (received 7 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. Stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be routed directly
into streams.
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
10 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 John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1157, Hoot Owl Road
Mitchell County, NC
Dear Mr. Lund: .
I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for rn
NWP #14, and a location map relative to the proposed project on SR 1157, Hoot Owl :? rn
m
Road, Mitchell County, NC. CD
Hoot Owl Road is currently a 14-16 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways plans
to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be light to
moderate. Whenever possible, widening will occur on the side opposite the streams.
We propose to extend three culverts on unnamed tributaries to Roaring Branch. Total
culvert extensions will be 100 linear feet. Existing channel morphology will be
maintained upstream and downstream of the culvert. The culvert will be placed below
existing streambed elevation. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed
areas associated with the culvert extensions. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-
lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams.
No significant effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their
habitats is anticipated.
By copy of this letter, we request Mr. Ron Linville, North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission Regional Coordinator, to comment directly to the Corps concerning the
permit request.

road. The culverts extenstions requested are the minimum necessary to establish an appropriate
typical section for the roadway that will be stable and prevent future erosion. Riparian
vegetation will be established on disturbed areas associated with the project construction.
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.
Page 5 of 8
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
http://'b2o.enr.state.ne.us/'ncwetlands/stmi,,,,ide.htm. l.

EROSION CONTROL PLAN SHEET
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as
follows:
Temporary silt basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt fences and temporary silt ditches shall be installed after
clearing and before grading.
Temporary stone ditch checks shall be installed as soon as
ditch line is established.
Pipe outlet and inlet protection will be done as soon as the
pipe is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are
to be implemented as soon as practical.
Temporary rock silt checks (type B) will be spaced as required
by percent of grade as described on page VI-16 in the Erosion
And Sedimentation Guidelines.
No. 5 stone, or equivalent, will be used in conjunction with
temporary rock silt check Type-B in locations where water is
leaving the project or entering a pipe.
Silt basin size is 12'x3'x2' for 100 feet of disturbed ditch line unless otherwise
noted.
Silt basin (Type B) are designed for 1200 cubic feet per acre every storm event
and cleaned out when half full.
Sheet 5 of 17
PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screen will be used.
2) Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as possible,
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from project.
3) Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as possible
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from project.
Where possible, new grade will be below existing streambed. If needed,
bedding material will be clean stone.
4) Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5) Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also complete
installation of erosion control measures and perform maintenance as needed
on existing measures.
6) Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1157, Hoot Owl Road
Mitchell County, NC
Dear Mr. Lund:
SECRETARY
I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14, and a location map relative to the proposed project on SR 1157, Hoot Owl
Road, Mitchell County, NC.
Hoot Owl Road is currently a 14-16 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways plans
to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be light to
moderate. Whenever possible, widening will occur on the side opposite the streams.
We propose to extend three culverts on unnamed tributaries to Roaring Branch. Total
culvert extensions will be 100 linear feet. Existing channel morphology will be
maintained upstream and downstream of the culvert. The culvert will be placed below
existing streambed elevation. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed
areas associated with the culvert extensions. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-
lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams.
No significant effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their
habitats is anticipated.
By copy of this letter, we request Mr. Ron Linville, North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission Regional Coordinator, to comment directly to the Corps concerning the
permit request.

Mr. Steve Lund

May 1, 2001
By copy of this letter, we are asking Ed Ingle, Area Roadside Environmental Engineer, to
comment on the above project. Temporary encroachment into the buffer zone of the
unnamed tributaries will not be required for the project.
By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of the application package to
Cynthia Van der Wiele, NC DENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetland Unit for
review and comment. A $200.00 check is enclosed for application processing. Please
forward comments directly to the Corps with copy to Division 13 Environmental Officer.
Your earliest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated. If you have any
questions or information needs, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
?

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The existins secondarv road must be improved to meet current safetv standards for a paved
road The culverts extenstions requested are the minimum necessary to establish anappropriate
typical section for the roadway that will be stable and prevent future erosion. Riparian
vegetation will be established on disturbed areas associated with the project construction.
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.
Page 5 of 8
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
httR: //h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetl.ands/ strmgide.btm.l.
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 directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

EROSION CONTROL PLAN SHEET
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as
follows:
Temporary silt basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt fences and temporary silt ditches shall be installed after
clearing and before grading.
Temporary stone ditch checks shall be installed as soon as
ditch line is established.
Pipe outlet and inlet protection will be done as soon as the
pipe is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are
to be implemented as soon as practical.
Temporary rock silt checks (type B) will be spaced as required
by percent of grade as described on page VI-16 in the Erosion
And Sedimentation Guidelines.
No. 5 stone, or equivalent, will be used in conjunction with
temporary rock silt check Type-B in locations where water is
leaving the project or entering a pipe.
Silt basin size is 12'x3'x2' for 100 feet of disturbed ditch line unless otherwise
noted.
Silt basin (Type B) are designed for 1200 cubic feet per acre every storm event
and cleaned out when half full.
Sheet 5 of 17
PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screen will be used.
2) Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as possible,
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from project.
3) Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as possible
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from project.
Where possible, new grade will be below existing streambed. If needed,
bedding material will be clean stone.
4) Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5) Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also complete
installation of erosion control measures and perform maintenance as needed
on existing measures.
6) Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.

TO: Steve Lund, USACOE
Asheville Field Office
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 9, 2001
SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), SR 1157, Hoot
Owl Road, Unnamed Tributary Roaring Branch, Mitchell County
These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and the North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 113A-10; NCAC 25). The
NCDOT prop to widen and pave the existing road. Three culverts will be extended
for a total of 00 A. of impacts. Roaring Branch and associated tributaries are habitat and
nursery areas or both rainbow and brown trout.
We will not object to the proposed project as described by Mr. Roger Bryan in his
letter of May 1,2001.
1. The pipes should be designed and constructed large enough so all waters can
flow through without freefalling or damming on either end during low flow
conditions to maintain aquatic life passage, if practicable. Pipes 36" or larger
should be buried approximately 1' into the streambed. Smaller pipes should be
placed on grade or preferably lower. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the
stream above and below the pipes should not be modified by widening the
stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream.
2. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does
not contact stream water.
3. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream
channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of
introducing other pollutants into the stream.
SR 1157 2 05/09/01
4. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
5. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare
soil within 10 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion
control. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for
streambank stabilization when practicable.
6. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are
prohibited during the trout spawning seasons of October 15 through April 15 to
protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project during the
early planning stages. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please
contact me at 336/769-9453.
