Field Office Rm. 75, Grove Arcade Building 37 Battery Park Avenue Asheville, N. C. 28801-2714 Dear Mr. Johnson: 9 5 4O 401 ISSUED R. SAMUEL HUNT I I I SECRETARY PAY - 41995 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to grade, drain, base, and pave SR 1104, Mulberry Road, primarily along the existing roadway. In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards and due to the proximity of a trout stream (Barkers Creek and tributaries, DEM Class C - Trout Water) and extension of pipe culverts, we are requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. I am sending a straight-line diagram, with the proposed erosion control, stream, stream bank, and construction limits at various sites along the project where we will be in conflict with the streams. In addition, I am sending a typical section of the road, cross- sections, drawings for pipe culvert extensions, general notes and standards on some erosion control measures, and a marked map. We propose to install the new culverts slightly below the existing streambed elevations where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impacts to wildlife habitat and allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as is physically possible. The best management practices will be used to minimize and control erosion and sedimentation on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to ensure erosion and sedimentation are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with 4 . Mr. Bob Johnson Page 2 April 28, 1995 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. By copy of this letter I am asking Mr. David Yow, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) District 9 Environmental Coordinator, to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request. A request will be made on this project for a temporary encroachment in the Trout Water Buffer Zone of Barkers Creek and I am asking Mr. Yow and Mr. Ed Ingle, Area Roadside Environmental Engineer (NC Department of Transportation) to comment directly to me concerning the Trout Water Buffer Zone Encroachment. Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization to proceed under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act from the Division of Environmental Management. We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please call me at (704) 321-4105. Your early review and consideration will be greatly appreciated.

TEMPORARY SILT FENCE: A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of a fill section to prevent off- site sedimentation. It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched and supported by steel posts. The silt fence reduces the water flow while retaining'the sediment. They may also be used to divert water flow to protected outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant rainfall to ensure there effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall not be installed across streams, ditches, or waterways. AREAS OF USE: • At toe of fill sections where sediment runoff can be stored and contained inside the project limits.
