dredged or fill material in waters of the United States done by their contractors.
11. Special condition 11:
1) During the clearing phase of the project, heavy equipment shall not be operated in
surface waters or stream channels. Temporary stream crossings will be used to
access the opposite sides of stream channels. All temporary diversion channels and
stream crossings will be constructed of non -erodible, materials. Grubbing of riparian
vegetation will not occur until immediately before construction begins on a given
segment of stream channel.
2) No fill or excavation impacts for the purposes of sedimentation and erosion
control shall occur within jurisdictional waters, including wetlands, unless the impacts
are included on the plan drawings and specifically authorized by this permit. This
includes, but is not limited to, sediment control fences and other barriers intended to
catch sediment losses.
3) The Permittee shall remove all sediment and erosion control measures placed in
waters and/or wetlands, and shall restore natural grades on those areas, prior to
project completion.
4) The Permittee shall use appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which
equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina

design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management
Practices in order to ensure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality
standards. This shall include, but is not limited to, the immediate installation of silt
fencing or similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or
the movement of earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas.
Additionally, the project shall remain in full compliance with all aspects of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statutes
Chapter 113A Article 4). Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures
shall be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities to minimize impacts to
downstream aquatic resources. These measures shall be inspected and maintained
regularly, especially following rainfall events. All fill material shall be adequately
stabilized at the earliest practicable date to prevent sediment from entering into
adjacent waters or wetlands.
Rationale: This condition documents the permittees responsbility to employ
appropriate sediment and erosion control practices to avoid potential indirect impacts to
jurisdicitonal waters.

expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the United States
and in such time and manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized
representative may direct, restore the water or wetland to its pre -project condition.
Rationale: This condition documents the permittee's responsibility to restore permitted
impacts to their pre -project condition.
13.All reports, documentation and correspondence required by the conditions of this
permit shall be submitted to the following address: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Regulatory Division, Charlotte Regulatory Field Office, c/o David L. Shaeffer, 151
Patton Avenute, Room 208, Asheville, North Carolina 28801, and by telephone at:

Rationale: This condition specify compliance reporting contacts and requirements.
15. In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be
provided in accordance with the provisions outlined on the most recent version of the
attached Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form. The requirements
of this farm, including any special conditions listed on this form, are hereby
incorporated as special conditions of this permit.
Rationale: This permit condition was added to document compensatory mitigation
requirements for the project, to ensure compliance with the 404(b)(1) guidelines, and to
ensure that project impacts were not more than minimal.
16. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life cycle movements of those
species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that
normally migrate through the area. All discharges of dredged or fill material within
waters of the United States shall be designed and constructed to maintain low flows
to sustain the movement of aquatic species.
4
Rationale: This condition addresses potential issues associated with the installation of
improperly designed and/or installed culverts.
17. Special Condition 17
1} Unless otherwise requested in the application and depicted on the approved
permit plans, culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter shall be buried at least one
foot below the bed of the stream. Culverts 48 inches in diameter and less shall be
buried or placed on the stream bed as practicable and appropriate to maintain
aquatic passage, and every effort shall be made to maintain existing channel slope.
The bottom of the culvert shall be placed at a depth below the natural stream bottom
to provide for passage during drought or low flow conditions. Culverts shall be
designed and constructed in a manner that minimizes destabilization and head
cutting.
2] Measures shall be included in the culvert construction/installation that will promote
the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. The dimension, pattern, and
profile of the stream above and below a culvert or pipe shall not be modified by
widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream in connection
with the construction activity. The width, height, and gradient of a proposed opening
shall be such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow without
adversely altering flow velocity. Spring flow should be determined from gauge data,
if available. In the absence of such data, bankfull flow can be used as a comparable
level.
3) The Permittee shall implement all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure
that equipment, structures, fill pads, work, and operations associated with this
project do not adversely affect upstream and/or downstream reaches. Adverse
effects include, but are not limited to, channel instability, flooding, and/or stream
bank erosion. The Permittee shall routinely monitor for these effects, cease all work
when detected, take initial corrective measures to correct actively eroding areas, and
notify this office immediately. Permanent corrective measures may require additional
authorization by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Rationale: This condition documents the permittee's responsibility as it relates to the
installation of culverts.
18.If previously undiscovered cultural resources are encountered while condcuting
grading within the project area, the Corps shall be immediately notified in writing and
by telephone at: 828-271-7980 within 24 hours of the Permittee`s discovery of the
resources so that coordination can be initiated with the Cherokee Nation and North
Carolina State Historic Preservation Office.
Rationale: This is to address the Cherokee Nations concern regarding the potential for
the discovery of cultural resources during the grading operations.

altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. The dimension, pattern, and profile of
the stream above and below a pipe or culvert shall not be modified by widening the stream channel or
by reducing the depth of the stream in connection with the construction activity. The width, height,
and gradient of a proposed culvert shall be such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring
flow without adversely altering flow velocity. 115A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)].
Placement of culverts and other structures in streams shall be below the elevation of the streambed
by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20% of the culvert diameter
for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and
aquatic life.
If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the existing stream cross
section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where
appropriate. Widening the stream channel shall be avoided.
If bedrock is discovered during construction, then DWR shall be notified by phone or email within 24
hours of discovery.

14. All work in or adjacent to streams shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does not come in
contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the most current version
of the NCSediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DOTConstruction and Maintenance
Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, and other diversion structures shall be
used to minimize excavation in flowing water. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
15. Culverts shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not
altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. The dimension, pattern, and profile of
the stream above and below a pipe or culvert shall not be modified by widening the stream channel or
by reducing the depth of the stream in connection with the construction activity. The width, height,
and gradient of a proposed culvert shall be such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring
flow without adversely altering flow velocity. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)].
Placement of culverts and other structures in streams shall be below the elevation of the streambed
by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20% of the culvert diameter
for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and
aquatic life.
If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the existing stream cross
section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where
appropriate. Widening the stream channel shall be avoided.
If bedrock is discovered during construction, then DWR shall be notified by phone or email within 24
hours of discovery.
Installation of culverts in wetlands shall ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to
adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. When roadways, causeways, or other fill
projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts
or bridges shall be provided to maintain the natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent
constriction of the floodway that may result in destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
shall be used where practicable instead of rip -rap or other bank hardening methods.
16. Application of fertilizer to establish planted/seeded vegetation within disturbed riparian areas and/or
wetlands shall be conducted at agronomic rates and shall comply with all other Federal, State and
Local regulations. Fertilizer application shall be accomplished in a manner that minimizes the risk of
contact between the fertilizer and surface waters. [15A NCAC 02B .0200 and 15A NCAC 02B .0231]
17. If concrete is used during construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to prevent direct
contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water that inadvertently
contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state. [15A NCAC 02B .02001

18. No temporary impacts are allowed beyond those included in this Certification. All temporary fill and
culverts shall be removed, and the impacted area shall be returned to natural conditions within 60
calendar days after the temporary impact is no longer necessary. The impacted areas shall be
restored to original grade, including each stream's original cross -sectional dimensions, planform
pattern, and longitudinal bed profile. All temporarily impacted sites shall be restored and stabilized
with native vegetation. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
19. All proposed and approved temporary pipes/culverts/rip-rap pads etc. in streams shall be installed as
outlined in the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual or the North Carolina Department of
Transportation Best Management Practices for Construction and Maintenance Activities so as not to
restrict stream flow or cause dis-equilibrium during use of this Certification. [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
20. Any riprap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of temporarily
disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the approved construction activity.
All riprap shall be buried and/or "keyed in" such that the original stream elevation and streambank
contours are restored and maintained. Placement of riprap or other approved materials shall not
result in de -stabilization of the stream bed or banks upstream or downstream of the area. [15A NCAC
02H .0506(b)(2)]
21. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other required
Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including those required by, but
not limited to Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water Supply Watershed, and Trout
Buffer regulations.
22. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters shall be inspected and maintained regularly
to prevent contamination of surface waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials. Construction shall be staged in order to minimize the exposure of equipment to surface
waters to the maximum extent practicable. Fueling, lubrication and general equipment maintenance
shall not take place within 50 feet of a waterbody or wetlands to prevent contamination by fuels and
oils. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (12)]
23. Heavy equipment working in wetlands shall be placed on mats or other measures shall be taken to
minimize soil disturbance. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
24. In accordance with 143-215.85(b), the applicant shall report any petroleum spill of 25 gallons or more;
any spill regardless of amount that causes a sheen on surface waters; any petroleum spill regardless
of amount occurring within 100 feet of surface waters; and any petroleum spill less than 25 gallons
that cannot be cleaned up within 24 hours.
