Kevin,
The attached impact map has been revised to include a typical channel relocation section. As you
can see, the proposed channel will mimic the width, depth and slopes of the existing channel.
I have also attached the calculations for the upstream constructed channel. The slope is relatively
steep (-6%) which results in a 10-yr velocity of 8.75 ft/s and a shear stress of 2.93 Ibs/ft2. The
attached calculations indicate that Class '1' rip -rap is stable under these conditions, while
biodegradable blankets are not.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Troy,
Thanks for the response. In addition, can you please provide the channel dimensions for the
constructed channel upstream of the culvert as well as velocity and shear stress calculations that
provide justification for the use of rip rap above the proposed culvert.
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502 (c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested
information for the proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not
received within 30 calendar days, of receipt of this email, the Division will be unable to approve the
application and it will be returned. The return of this project will necessitate reapplication to the
Division for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee.
You may provide your response via email or mail to the address noted below.
Should you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact Kevin Mitchell at (828) 296-
4650 or kevin.mitchell(@ncdenr.gov.

Kevin/Amanda,
This email is in follow-up to my phone conversation with Kevin today. Kevin asked for some
clarification for the proposed stream impacts. Specifically, Kevin requested a breakdown of the
proposed impacts specifically for the culvert, rip -rap disspator and constructed channel, as well as
some information on the stabilization of the constructed channel. I had our engineers modify the
impact exhibit to show the additional breakout of the impacts as requested, which is attached.
The proposed impacts consist of:
• Impact 1-39 LF
0 1A (Culvert) — 8 LF
0 1B (Constructed Channel) — 31 LF
• Impact 3 — 52 LF
0 3A (Culvert) —11 LF
0 3B (Rip -Rap Dissipator) — 41 LF
In regards to stabilization of the constructed channel on the upstream end of the pipe, the design
changed slightly since we submitted the application, with the stabilization now being rip -rap. Based
on the velocity of flow coming into the culverts during a storm, stabilization of the constructed
channel with biodegradable matting was likely to fail. So the design has been changed to stabilize
the constructed channel with rip -rap. However, this does not affect the proposed stream impacts
totals.
As specified on the attached impact plan, the constructed channel will be graded to match the
existing natural channel geometry (width & depth). By constructing the new channel to mimic the
existing channel width, the base flow depth will be maintained. Additionally, the rip -rap will installed
the same as the dissipator, with the rip -rap being embedded in the banks and bed of the
constructed channel such that aquatic life movement will not be impeded.
Amanda — I just realized that I never received an email from an RPA noting that the project had been
logged and providing the AID #. Can you please confirm that you received our application?
Thanks for everyone's help.
