Division of Water Quality before a 401 Certification can be issued. You should refer to the stream
restoration/relocation section of the Division of Water Quality's "Internal Technical Guide for
Stream Work in North Carolina" in designing the new stream channel. Additionally, buffers and
plantings will need to be provided adjacent to the new stream channel. A copy of the technical
guide is included for your information.
Until additional information is received regarding the stream relocation, we are placing this
project on hold and are notifying the Corps of Engineers of this action by copy of this letter.

'I rpppi
Attached are erosion control plans, an application form for a Nationwide Permit, and a county
map section locating SR 1344, River Loop Road, in Henderson County. SR 1344 is a gravel road
that we propose to clear, grub, grade, and pave for a distance of 0.17 miles. Grading will be
moderate to heavy.
We are requesting permission to create a channel change that will result in 305' of relocated
channel. 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.
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.

See attachments
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.
Page 9 of 12
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
httt)://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.
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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/M/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

DWQ Project No. 021149
SR 1344 (River Loop Road)
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 improve SR
1344 (River Loop Road) in Henderson County. While there are no direct impacts, this road parallels an
unnamed tributary to North Fork Mills River, which is classified as a WS-11 trout High Quality Water.
Grading is proposed to be moderate to heavy. The project should be constructed in accordance with your
application dated July 15, 2002 (received July 22, 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 Waters (NCDOT March
1997) and Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B
.0124(a)-(d)] 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 (due to the presence of High Quality
Waters) to provide long term erosion control.
2. NCDOT shall adhere to the requirements for High Quality Waters [15A NCAC 213 .0224].
3. 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 15, 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. DWQ recognizes the variance granted by WRC from Sta. 0+00 to
Sta. 8+95 due to the proximity of the stream to the roadway.

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), http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/
4. Where practicable, storm water 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.
5. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.
6. 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.

See attachments
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.
Page 9 of 12
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/stnngide.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

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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wvM/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local)
land?
Yes ? 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 [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
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 ® 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.

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.
See erosion control plans
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
N/A
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
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).
