APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. C. R. Styles, P.E., District Engineer
NCDOT
P.O. Drawer 250
Bryson City, NC 28713
Dear Mr. Styles:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
35 linear feet of Ratcliff Cove Branch in order to improve SR 1944 (Big Stomp Road) in Haywood
County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated February 28,
2002 (received March 6, 2002). 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 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, in writing, and 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 or stream impacts 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. NCDOT shall adhere to Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (March
1997).
2. Where practicable, stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and must not
be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so
that they may be utilized for storm water sheet flow.
3. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of
ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control.
4. The pipes 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 must not be reduced by a widening of the
streambed). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert. The culvert shall be installed one foot below the stream to allow for fish and other

wildlife movement. If the existing pipe is perched, it shall be removed and replaced, and installed
correctly.
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. 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.
9. 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
completion of the 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 fora hearing,
send a written petition that 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 919.733.5715

Attention: Mr. John Hendrix
Subject: Proposed Construction of SR 1944 in Haywood Co.
State Project No. 6.942129T(DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200.00)
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1944, Big Stomp Rd. in Haywood County. Irf
order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, and due
to the addition or extension of two(2)pipe culverts in an unnamed tributary to Ratcliff Cove
Branch(DEM Class B), 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, drawings for
the culvert relocation/extensions in an unnamed tributary to Ratcliff Cove Branch, general notes
and standards on erosion control measures, and a marked County Map are enclosed. We
propose to install the new culvert 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 installation and will
remain in place until the project is stabilized.

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.
Impacts cannot be avoided Culverts must be extended in order to gain the necessary width
to construct SR 1944 to current NCDOT standards All pipe replacements will be placed below
the existing stream bed gradient so natural substrate can be re-established.

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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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 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.

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)

structure. The type lt-in
sediment storage area around the outside perimeter o
rock pipe inlet protection shall be used at pipe- inlets no larger than 36 inches in
diameter where it is receiving flow from several directions. The type-A rock pipe
inlet protection utilizes class-B stone lined with #5 or #57 stone to protect drainage
pipe structures by trapping sediment before it enters. They have a sediment storage
pit which is designed by the same procedures as a silt basin.
AREAS OF USE:
At inlets to pipes no larger than 36 inches in diameter where it receives flow
from several directions.
• In areas where it can be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Structural stone - class-B stone
• Sediment control stone - #5 or #57 stone
• Sediment storage area - 1800 cubic ft./acre
• Dam height - 3 ft. minimum

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
7
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)
