R. SAMUEL HUNT II I
SECRETARY
u,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1756, Charley's Creek, in Jackson County. In
order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards and due to
the replacement of pipe culverts along a tributary of Charley's Creek (DEM Class WS-III HQW),
we are requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to replace this culvert.
I am sending a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion control construction limits at
various sites along the project. In addition a typical section of the road, cross sections, drawings for
the pipe culvert replacements, general notes and standards on erosion control measures and a
marked county map. We propose to install the new culverts slightly bellow 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 sedimentation and
erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to
ensure sedimentation and erosion are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not
functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with better devices. The rock silt screens
and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to pipe construction and will remain in place
until the project is stabilized.
By copy of this letter I am asking Mr. David Yow, North Carolina Resources Commission,
District Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide permit
request.

Mr. Bob Johnson

Also by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization to proceed under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act from Division of Environmental Management.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required,
please advise. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.
Yours truly,
?an C. arch

y 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.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
Material With Wire - Without Wire
Fabric Type 3 Class A -Type 3 Class B
Steel posts length 5 ft 5 ft.
Post spacing 10 ft. 6 ft. maximum

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
J
A rock silt screen is a low-level dam structure to be used in streams below culvert
sites. Rock silt screens shall be used to trap sediment transported by running water
and shall be placed in the stream below the construction site within the right-of-
way or easement boundary. The rock silt screen utilizes class B stone lined with #5
or #57 stone to produce a ripple-effect in the stream to settle the larger sediment
particles transported in the stream from the construction site. The trapped sediment
shall be cleaned out before the device is'removed from the stream.
AREAS OF USE:
In live streams below construction sites where construction occurs in or
adjacent to the stream.
• In live streams below a culvert construction site.
• Where it can be cleaned before it is removed from stream.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Structural stone - class B stone .
• Sediment control stone - # 5 or* 57 stone
• Dam height - 1.5 ft. minimum and 3 ft. maximum ( shall not be higher than
1 ft. above normal flow of stream)
