4 %,4 'SSUED
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has extended a 72' CHIP by 40' on
the inlet end of US 441 in Jackson County. A fill slope failure threatened to block the original
inlet end of the pipe which could have had catastrophic results. The live stream involved is a
tributary to a Class C Trout Stream.
Mr. David Baker and Mr. David Yowe were contacted after the fill slope failure but before
the pipe was extended. The Division of Highways was allowed to extend the pipe by verbal
permission and is submitting this request for permit after the fact. The work has been completed,
temporary erosion control measures were used during the work and permanent erosion control
devices are presently in place. We will continue to monitor these measures and devices for
effectiveness, maintain or modify them as necessary.
Enclosed are typical sections and plan view of the pipe extension, general notes, standards
on erosion control measures, permit requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clear
Water Act, and a marked county map.
