APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. E.A. Green, P.E., District Engineer
NCDOT Division 14, District 1
4142 Haywood Road
Horseshoe, NC 28742
Dear Mr. Green:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
10 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Richland Creek in order to upgrade SR 1312 (Richland
Creek Road) in Transylvania County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your
application dated April 8, 2002 (received April 12, 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 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 you may be required
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, or if 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 use Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface 1Vaters (NCDOT
_._ ....... Nfarch i991) and i e i n an rosion on ro ui a me or ensitive-W-aters-1ieds-Cl5tV--- -
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 10 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 15 through April IS, 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.
3. DWQ will recognize a variance to the Trout Water Buffer Zone at Sta. 7+60 to 9+00 if the
NCWRC grants this request.

919-733-1786 (phone), 919-733-6893 (fax), http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/
4. Storm water shall be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and not routed directly to
streams.
5. 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
culvert extensions.
6. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
7. 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.
8. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances shall
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.
9. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed in order to utilize it for storm water sheet flow.
10. 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.
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. 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 919-733-9646
or Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.251.6208.

SUBJECT: Proposed Secondary Road Construction
SR 1312, Richland Creek Road
Transylvania County
State Project No. 6.002090 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Dear Mr. Hendricks,
Attached are erosion control plans, an application form for a Nationwide Permit, and a county
map section locating SR 1312, Richland Creek Road, in Transylvania County. SR 1312 is a
gravel road that we propose to clear, grub, grade, replace/extend pipes, and pave for a distance of
0.51 miles. Grading will be moderate to heavy.
We are requesting permission to replace and extend pipes in live streams as noted on plans and
the attached pipe schedule. Pipes will be replaced using our standard method of pipe installation
described in the erosion control plans. NCDOT " Best Management Practices for Protection of
Surface Waters" and proper phasing of erosion control items will be used to minimize and
control sedimentation and erosion.
By copy of this letter to Mr. Richard Phillips, P. E., (DENR) we are requesting a variance to
work in the Trout Water Buffer Zone at locations, described as follows:

requesting Mr. Phillips approve our request for said variance when he receives the required
comments from Mr. E. L. Ingle, Area Roadside Environmental Engineer, and Mr. Owen
Anderson, N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission.
Also by copy of this letter, authorization to proceed under section 401 of the Clean Water Act is
being requested from Mr. John Dorney, Division of Water Quality.
By copy of this letter, we are asking Mr. Owen Anderson, N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission,
to comment to the Corps of Engineers concerning the Nationwide Permit request. Upon review
of the Corps of Engineers we are requesting that Mr. Anderson forward a copy to us (NCDOT)
as well.
By copy of this letter, we are also asking Mr. Ed Ingle, Area Roadside Environmental Engineer
(NCDOT), to comment directly to us on the above project.
Your earliest consideration for this request would be appreciated. If any further information is

standard secondary road typical Pipes will be installed below the stream bed to prevent
perching and allow for aquatic passage.
Proper erosion control measures will be installed and maintained throughout the life of the
pro' ect.
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,
Page 9 of 12
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.ne.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.

•Trmr0i:A1tY SiLr X' ENCL•':
A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of a fill section to prevent off-
site sedimentation. It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at the bottom,
stretched and supported by steel posts. The silt fence reduces the water flow while
retaining the sediment. They may also be used to divert water flow to protected
outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant rainfall to ensure there
effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall not be
installed across streams, ditches, or waterways.
AREAS OF USE:
• At toe of fill sections where sediment runoff can be stored and contained
inside the project limits.

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 wvith its Ienach being at
least 2 times the width of the basin. The type-B silt basin is generally built in
^onjunction with temporary.rock silt checks and other devices that control or slo\v
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.
EAS O: USE:
• In conjunction with temporary rock'silt checks and other devices used in
drainage ditches.

ROCK SILT SCREEN:

A rock silt screen is a low-level dam structure to be used in streams below culvert
sites. Pock 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 ri;ht-of-
way or easement boundary. The rock silt screen utilizes class B stop-- lined with r5
or r57 stone to produce a ripple-effect in the stream to settle the la.rcer sediment
particles transported in the stream from the construcdon 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 IT
57 stone
Dam height - 1.5 ft. minimum and 3 ft. maximum (shall not be hither than
1 ft. above normal flow of stream)

FILE COPY
SUBJECT: NCDOT Nationwide 404 Permit Application
Pave SR 1312 Richland Creek Road, UT to East Fork French Broad River
Transylvania County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
Mr. E.A. Green of the North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting a letter
of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a
404 permit from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Staff biologists have reviewed the
information provided by the applicant. These comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The applicant proposes to clear, grub, grade, replace/extend pipes and pave SR 1312
Richland Creek Road for a distance of 0.51 miles. Grading will be moderate to heavy. The
project will require a culvert extension of 10 feet in an unnamed tributary to Richland Creek. A
variance to work within the 25-foot buffer area is requested between station 7+6 to 9+00.
The Division of Water Quality classifies this reach of Richland Creek as C trout.
Richland Creek upstream on USFS property is designated as wild trout water. It is the opinion of
biologists with the NCWRC that this project could result in adverse impacts to trout.
?K ,k
Pave SR 1312, Richland Creek Road 2
Transylvania County; UT Richland Creek
May 21, 2002
The NCWRC is concerned about potential project impacts to trout and other aquatic
resources in this drainage; however, we can concur with the issuance of the 404 permit and a
temporary encroachment into the buffer provided that he following conditions are placed on the
subject permit and variance:
Sedimentation and erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained
on the project site to avoid impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary or
permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of
ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. Areas around
stream crossings and adjacent to streams should be seeded by hand and mulched with
erosion control matting instead of straw.
2. Culverts that are less than 48-inch diameter should have the floor of the barrel
installed 20% of the diameter of the culvert below the level of the stream bottom.
Culverts that are 48-inch diameter or larger should be placed with the floor of the
barrel 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom materials to
become established in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life
passages during periods of low flow. This may require increasing the size of the
culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements. Any perched culverts should be
corrected during construction.
3. 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. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life, and
disturbance of the natural form of the stream channel will likely cause downstream
erosion problems, possibly affecting other landowners.
4. Excavation of the stream crossings should be conducted in the dry, if possible.
Sandbags, cofferdams, flexible pipe, or other diversion structures should be used to
minimize excavation in flowing water.
5. If concrete is used during culvert installation (e.g., headwalls), a dry work area should
be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water.
Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to
surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH.
6. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid
blocking movement of aquatic life.
7. Rock should be installed at the outlets of roadway drainage pipes to dissipate energy
and prevent scouring of areas down slope of the outlets.
8. Stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and should not be
routed directly into streams.

Transylvania County, UT Richland Creek
May 21, 2002
9. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the streambank below the
high water mark, and vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water
elevation.
10. Removal of vegetation at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams should be
minimized. Native trees and shrubs (e.g., rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders,
sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be planted along the
streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control
in the vicinity of the road crossing and along the streams within dedicated rights of
way.
11. Work in stream and within the 25-foot buffer is prohibited during the trout-spawning
period of October 15-April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
12. This permit does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or
the 25-foot buffer.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be inspected and
maintained regularly to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,
hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials.
14. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment
in or adjacent to surface waters is strictly prohibited.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Pending
availability of field staff, the NCWRC may inspect the work site during or after construction. If
there are any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at [phone].
