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).
NCDOT proposes to widen the existing road from 12-14 feet to 18 feet wide prior to
paving. Grading will be light.
NCDOT proposes to extend an existing thirty foot long 18" culvert by an
additional 30 feet. No channel relocation is indicated. Existing channel geomorphology
will be maintained upstream and downstream of the pipe. Biologists with the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are familiar with habitat values in the area.
Wild rainbow and brown trout populations are in the area. Additionally, Appalachian
elktoe (Alasmidonta raveneliana), a federally listed endangered species, occurs
downstream in the North Toe River.
We will not object to the project provided the following conditions are
implemented:
1. 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.
2. Culverts less than 48 inches in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to
or greater than 20% their size to allow for aquatic life passage. The
SR 1161, UT Big Crabtree Creek 2 April 16, 2002
dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the pipe should
not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the
stream. Existing aquatic life migration will not be disrupted during low flow
conditions.
3. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete doe's
not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's
water chemistry and causing a fish kill.
4. 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.
5. Sedir ierit apd erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards
for sensitive watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0024).
6. 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. We encourage NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for
streambank stabilization when practicable.
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.

application dated April 3, 2002 (received April 10, 2002). After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered' by General Water Quality Certification No. 3375 corresponding to the
U.S. Army Ccwps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any
other federal, spate 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 (ndwv'or in the future) exceed one acre or stream impacts exceed 150 linear feet,
compensatory mitigation maybe required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For
this approval tcsrbe valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. NCDOT shall use Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT
March 1997) and 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 shall
be planted on all bare soil within IS days of ground-disturbing activities to provide long term
erosion control
2. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the
trout spawning season of October IS through April 15, and any other conditions determined by
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout
from sedimentation during construction.

State Project No. 6.882235 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
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 vicinity map relative to the proposed project on SR 1161, Brown
Huskins Road, Mitchell County, NC.
Brown Huskins 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.
We propose to extend one existing culvert on an UT to Big Crabtree Creek. Total culvert
extensions will be 30 linear feet. No stream relocation will be performed for the project.
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
extension. 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 Ron Linville, North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission Coordinator, to comment directly to the Corps concerning the permit
request.

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
Page 5 of 8
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•//12o enr state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm,gide.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. 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 littp:b,'li2o.enr.state.nc.us,!M/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

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.

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.
