Total project length is approximately 0.74 miles. The roadway will be widened from 14 feet to 16 feet and paved. Impervious surface area will increase by 0.18 acres or 4%. This project will require the replacement of one (1) wet cross line as shown below: 1) Replace existing 35'x 18" CMP at station 37+90 with a 50'x 24" CMP. In addition to the above noted pipe replacement impacts at station 37+90, an unnamed tributary to Stony Fork must be relocated approximately 10 feet to the west from stations 22+15 - 22+88. Our inability to acquire right-of-way on the east side of the road has prohibited widening away from the creek through this area. The dimensions of the 73-foot long newly constructed channel will mimic existing conditions. The new channel will be constructed in the dry and will be permanently stabilized before water is released into the newly constructed channel. Just prior to releasing the water into the new channel, a sandbag dike will be placed in the existing channel just north of the proposed relocation. Clean water will temporarily be pumped around the construction area and discharged back into the natural stream channel approximately 100 feet downstream. The dewatered area will equal approximately 300 square feet or 0.007 acres. Once this has been accomplished, natural stream substrate material will be excavated from the dry channel and placed into the realigned section. Once that is complete, the water will slowly be allowed to enter the newly constructed channel. P. O. Box 250, N.

The western creek bank will be lined with erosion control matting and seeded. WRC may also request that we use live-stakes along the western bank. If that is requested, we will rely on WRC for recommended species. New stream impacts including piping and riprap placement at station 37+90 and the channel relocation from 22+15 - 22+88 = 98 linear ft. Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Yadkin River Basin. The above noted wet cross line at station 37+90 and the stream relocation from stations 22+15 - 22+88 involve different unnamed tributaries to Stony Fork (Class: C, Trout). The Division 11 Environmental Officer reviewed this project for the presence of threatened and endangered species on June 20, 2002. This project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or animal species. Historic compliance work will be scheduled and concurrence with the State Historic Preservation Office will be obtained if required. The proposed project impacts should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses. Pipe sizes used will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. By utilizing the erosion control measures outlined in the attachments to this application, downstream water quality standards will be protected. All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction. Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets with proposed erosion control measures, a marked county map, a marked topography map and photographs. By copy of this letter, it is requested that Mr. Ron Linville, Mountain Region Coordinator, with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit application with a copy sent to me. Please note that a trout water buffer zone encroachment variance will be requested from stations 18+50 - 24+50 (UT to Stony Fork). By copy of this letter, I am forwarding seven (7) copies of this application package to Cynthia Van Der Wiele, NCDENR, Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, for her review. It is requested that any comments related to the 401 certification be forwarded directly to me with a copy sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers. We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please let me know. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated. Sincerely, *'ec?

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact 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. Since this is an existing _road, the maintenance impacts are unavoidable. Our inability to acquire additional right-of-way prohibits widening the roadway away from the creek from 22+15 - 22+88 The remaining project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality uses Pipe sizes used will be the minimum necessary to create a safe roadway. By utilizing the erosion control measures outlined in the attachments to this application downstream water quality, standards will be protected All appropriate BMPs will be used during construction Page 7 of 12 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/strrngide.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. Page 8 of 12 2.

FILE COPY TO: Jean Manuele, USACOE Raleigh Regulatory Field Office FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: July 5,, 2002 SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), SR1503, Lawrence Greene Road, Unnamed Tributary Stony Fork Creek, Watauga County 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). The NCDOT proposes to grade, drain, base and pave SR1503. A 35' x 18" CMP will be replaced at Station 37+90 with a 50' x 24 CMP. Channel relocation will impact a 73' section of stream. The channel relocation will mimic existing conditions. Riprap impacts will be minimized. Temporary dewatering will be required. Based on our review of the submitted application and our knowledge of the area, we will not object to project as proposed providing the following conditions are implemented: 1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the brown and brook trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during construction. 2. Culverts 48" or larger should be buried approximately 1' into the streambed. 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. These measurements must be based on natural thalweg depths. 3. Riprap should be minimized and installed in a manner so as not to interfere with aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. 4. If any concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact stream water. SR1503, Lawrence Greene Rd. 2 July 5, 2002 5. The new channel must be built in the dry and fully stabilized before turning the stream into it. Naturally occurring vegetation on site should be stockpiled and used for the new streambanks. If this is not possible, disturbed banks should be revegetated with silky dogwood (Corpus amonum), silky willow (Salix sericea), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix nigra), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) or other lower growing native species to provide long term bank stabilitq an?d' *m aMig: Note that silky dogwood, silky willow and black willow',-c= be gfanted.as five stakes collected during the dormant growing season. Cuttings should be randomly planted and done on 4 foot centers from the waters edge to the top of the bank. Trees should be planted on 10-12 foot centers. Stream banks in these areas should also be stabilized with matting or seeded with an approved wetland seed mix or temporary crop of wheat or rye.
