APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J. B. Setzer, P.E.
Division Engineer
N C Department of Transportation
253 Webster Road
Sylva, North Carolina 28779
Dear Mr. Setzer:
March 17, 2006
Haywood County
DWQ Project No. 060346
NCSR 1268 (Old Mine Road)
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 13 linear feet in an
unnamed tributary to Dix Creek (13 linear feet of new pipe and temporary dewatering), in order to make improvements to
NCSR 1268 (Old Mine Road) in Haywood County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your
application dated February 28, 2006 (received March 6, 2006), including the environmental commitments made in the
application letter. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Nos. 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 14
and 33. In addition, you must 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 Water Quality Certification will expire with the accompanying 404 Permit issued by the US Army Corps of
Engineers.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and submit 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 the
conditions. If total wetland tills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2I-I .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to he valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a.
b
The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or ]eased borrow pits associated with the
project.
For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.

d. Any reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
2. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the
impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable.
If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Quality has released the project.
4. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone shall not be conducted during the trout-
spawning season of October 15 through April 15, to avoid harming trout, spawning in downstream waters.
5. Culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 200/o of their size to
allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch diameter or larger should be buried at least 12 inches below
the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established in the culvert following installation
and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to
meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and
re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible.
6. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous cover should be
planted on all bare soil within fifteen (15) days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
Erosion control mating should be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and
riparian areas. Matting should be.secured in place with staples or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw
mulch and tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas.
7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below this work, should not be modified by widening or
narrowing the stream channel or reducing the stream depth. Disturbed tloodplains and streams should be restored to
natural geomorphic conditions.
8. Stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for
the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing
vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater diffuse flow.
9. Riparian vegetation should be preserved to the extent possible. Native trees and shrubs (e.g. Rhododendron, dog
hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be restored wherever possible
along the repaired slope and streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control.
10. Any 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. Riprap should not be place in stream
channels in such a manner that it impedes aquatic life passage.
11. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and to reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. This equipment should be
inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or
other toxic materials.
12. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid impeding aquatic life movement.
13. Excavation in the stream channel 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.
14. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
strictly prohibited.
15. If concrete is used during culvert construction (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 fish kills.
16. 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 bank stabilization work. In-stream 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.

17. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.
18. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions (below bankfull).
19. 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 Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality
upon completion of the project. The NCDOT is strongly advised to send in photographs upstream and downstream of
each structure to document correct installation.
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, which 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 Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

Subject: Nationwide 14 Permit Application
SR 1268 - Old Mine Road
Haywood County
State Project No. 14C.044072 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen, grade,
and pave SR 1268, Old Mine Road, in Haywood County from SR 1106 for 0.28 miles to
the end of the road. This proposal entails widening and paving the existing gravel road to
a standard 18-foot roadway. The proposed improvements of SR 1268 have been identified
as necessary maintenance and safety improvements. Funds have been allocated for this
project, and NCDOT would like to perform these activities sometime during the 2006-07
paving season.
I am sending a straight-line diagram with the proposed erosion control and construction
limits along this project. In addition, I am sending a typical section of the road, cross
sections, drawings for pipe culvert replacements as well as a marked county map and
USGS quad map. We propose to install the new culverts slightly below the existing
streambed elevations where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impacts to aquatic
habitats and allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as physically
possible.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Database was checked for records of threatened and
endangered species. There are no records listed for the unnamed tributary of Dix Creek.
Additionally, there are no records for the entire Dix Creek watershed. There is occupied
critical habitat for the Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonta raveneliana) within the Pigeon
River approximately 2.25 miles downstream of the project. The stream to be impacted is
small and is tributary to a cold water stream. Therefore, the habitat at project site is not
suitable for the Appalachian elk-toe. Due to the distance from the Appalachian elktoe and
the minimal nature of impacts associated with one culvert replacement, the Appalachian
elktoe will not be adversely affected. For these reasons, there will be "no effect" on
threatened or endangered species.
Impacts to historic or cultural resources are not anticipated. If the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Office of State Archaeology determines that further
investigations are required, NCDOT will conduct the appropriate site investigations and
obtain compliance from SHPO prior to project construction.
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and
erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures
daily to ensure sedimentation and erosion is being effectively controlled. If the planned
devices are not functioning as intended, they will be immediately replaced with better
devices. The rock silt screens and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to
pipe culvert construction and will remain in place until the project is stabilized.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The unnamed tributary is shown on the USGS topographic map as a perennial stream and
appears to have perennial flow. The channel is composed primarily of sand and silt and
lacks vegetation. For these reasons, we believe that this unnamed tributary is under the
jurisdiction of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. In order to construct the project in
accordance with our current secondary road standards, it will be necessary to impact waters
of the United States in the French Broad River Basin. Specifically, NCDOT is requesting
to extend/replace one metal culvert in an unnamed tributary to Dix Creek (DWQ Class WS
111, Tr). Listed below is a summary of the proposed impacts.

VII. 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.
Impacts cannot be avoided. Culverts must be extended in order to gain the necessary width
to improve SR 1268 to current NCDOT standards All pipe extensions will be placed below the
existing stream bed gradient so natural substrate can be re-established.
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 5 of 8
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 NCEEP 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
Litt).//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/i1cwet1anc1s/strni(,Jde. httnl.
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.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
