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 40 linear feet of Brush Creek and its two of its unnamed tributaries in order to upgrade SR 1143 (Upper Brush Creek Road) in Madison County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated December 10, 2001 and additional information dated January 17, 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. NCDWQ understands that stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams. NCDOT is encouraged to avoid mowing any existing vegetated buffers in order to utilize it for storm water sheet flow. 2. 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. 3. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles 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 culverts shall be installed one foot below the stream to allow for fish and other wildlife movement; culverts that are presently perched shall be removed and installed correctly. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions. North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 401 Wetlands Certification Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650 (Mailing Address) 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 (Location) 919-733-1786 (phone), 919-733-6893 (fax), httpJ/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/ 4. 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. 5. The presence of equipment in the channels should 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 for a 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.

Upper Brush Creek 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 to moderate. We propose to extend four existing culverts on Brush Creek and UT's. Total culvert extension will be 40 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 Owen Anderson, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Mountain Region Coordinator, to comment directly to the Corps concerning the permit request. Mr. Steve Lund Page -2 SR 1143, Madison County December 10, 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 Brush Creek will be required for the project. The stream is not classified as trout. 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. Your earliest consideration for this request would be greatly appreciated.

Mitigation Page 5 of 8 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/stn-ngide.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. N/A 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.

Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only) Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local) land? Yes X No ? If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ? No X If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ? X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify. )? Yes ? No X If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 3 2 1.5 Total * Zone 1 extends out 30 teet perpendicular trom near nanK or cnannei; Gone z extenus an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. Page 7 of 8 If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260. XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. The existing compacted gravel roadway acts as an impervious surface. Paving of the roadway should eliminate sedimentation from fines associated with gravel surface treatment. The roadway surface will be 40% of right of way acreage. Stormwater will be diverted through settling basins or grass lined buffers prior to entering the streams. XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only) XIII. Violations (DWQ Only) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ? No X Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No X XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). With regard to hazardous Will basins the road is not classified as an arterial route, therefore hazardous mill basins are not required. /,;//0/d (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.

(it EROSION CONTROL PLAN SHEET 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. Silt basins (Type B) will be constructed to the dimension of nine feet by three feet by two feet unless otherwise noted on plans. (See SB-9 on dimension sheet) 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. PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES 1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt screens 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 the 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 the project. Where possible, new grade will be below the 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.
