Road) in Mitchell County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application
dated 5 July 2001 (received 9 July 2001). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this
fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3289 corresponding to the US.. Army.
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. 1n 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 only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and to send us 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or
in the future) exceed one acre, 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.
- is 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 other conditions as 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
to streams.
3. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of
ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control.
4. All culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the
streambed). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of
North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 401 Wetlands Certification Unit,
1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 (Mailing Address)

culvert extensions. Culverts shall be installed one foot below the stream to allow for fish and
other wildlife movement.
5. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
6. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must 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 must
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. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed in order to utilize it 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 must be limited to the stream bank below the high water
mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water.
10. Rock silt screens at culvert outlets shall be removed at project completion.
Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1200, Fred Sparks Road
Mitchell County, NC
Dear Mr. Lund:
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 1200, Fred Sparks
Road, Mitchell County, NC.
Fred Sparks Road is currently a 12-14 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways plans
to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be light t?
modera e.
We propose to extend six existing culverts on UT's to White Oak Creek. Total culvert
extension will be 145 linear-feet. Existing channel morphology will be maintained
upstream and downstream of the culverts. The culverts 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.

site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan wa§'developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The existing secondary road must be improved to meet current safety standards for a paved
road. The culvert extensions 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stringide.html.
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 9'x3'x2' for 75 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.
Per permit conditions for Corps of Engineers and the Wildlife Resources
Commission, all pipes in streams must be buried 12" below streambed
elevation.

1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screen will be used.
- 1
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.

Road, Unnamed Tributaries to White Oak Creek, Mitchell County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting a concurrence letter
from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from _
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Biologists on staff with the NCWRC have reviewed the
proposed improvements and are familiar with habitat values of the project area. 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 Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C.
466 et seq.).
The proposed project consists of widening and paving SR 1200. Six culvert extensions will
impact 145 linear feet of unnamed tributaries to White Oak Creek. White Oak Creek empties
into Cane Creek which is a Designated Public Mountain Trout Water delayed harvest stream.
White Oak Creek and tributaries also support trout. We will not object to the project as proposed
provided that the following conditions are implemented:
1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are
prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect
the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during construction. We
will allow temporary encroachment into the buffer zone provided that work does not
occur during the trout moratorium period. Areas within the buffer zone, which have
been cleared due to grading requirements, will be revegetated with riparian trees,
shrubs, and groundcovers to match adjacent conditions.
SR 1200, Fred Sparks Road 2 July 16, 2001
2. Tributaries to White Oak Creek closely parallel the road project and are contained
within the right of way from stations 7 - 12. In order to protect the riparian buffer
and water quality, the road should be widened away from the stream.
3. Disturbance of the stream channel must be limited to only what is necessary to
extend the culverts. 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.
4. The installation and addition of pipes should insure that all waters flow without
freefalling or damming on either end during low flow conditions. 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. Where disrupted, natural floodplain
benching and aquatic life passage should be restored.
5. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion. 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. NCDOT should utilize onsite native
vegetation and materials for streambank stabilization, rather than excessive riprap (or
hard stabilization methods). Vegetation provides bank stabilization, as well as shade
for cooler water temperatures, and riparian edge habitat. If riprap is used, it must be
limited to the lower 1/3 of the streambank.
6. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does
not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's
water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
7. Rock silt screens at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion.
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) 527-
1549.
