project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the

Dear Mr. Johnson,
DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS R. SAMUEL HUNT I I I
SECRETARY
Bryson City, NC 28713
July 31, 1995

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to realign a driveway along
the existing roadway of SR 1127, Davis Branch Road, in Swain County. In order to construct this
project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, and due to the proposed fill
section of Davis Branch (DEM Class C) and replacement of pipe culverts, we are requesting
authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
I am sending a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion control construction limits at
various sites along the project. In addition a drawing for the pipe culvert addition and replacement
and the proposed fill section of Davis Branch, general notes and standards on erosion control
measures and a marked county map are enclosed. We propose to install the new culvert along the.
existing streambed elevation where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impact to wildlife habitat
and allow the existing gradients to remain as unchanged as 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.

me concerning this permit request.
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.

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:
a erial With Wire Without Wim
Fabric Type 3 Class A Type 3 Class B
Steel posts length S ft 5 ft.
Post spacing 10 ft. 6 ft. maximum

TEMPORARY ROCK SILT CHECK TYPE-B:
D
A temporary rock silt check type-B (also called check dam) is a small dam with a
weir used to reduce gullying in drainage ditches that are to be filled or
permanently stabilized at a later date. These type-B rock silt checks help reduce
the flow velocity and are generally made of class-B stone. They are used in ditches
during construction where the grade meets and/or exceeds 3%.
AREAS OF USE:
• In channels, roadside ditch outlets, temporary silt ditches, and temporary
diversions.
• In conjunction with type-B silt basins.
DF.sIGN CRITERIA:
• Center of rock silt check shall be at least 1 foot lower than the outer edges
(top of channel sides)
• The spacing (ft.) _ (3 / % of ditch grade) X 100 ft.

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
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)

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1127, Davis Branch Road, in Swain County. In
order to construct this project in accordance with current secondary road standards and due to
rechannelization of Davis Branch (DEM Class C) and replacement of pipe culverts, we are
requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
I am sending a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion control and construction
limits at various sites along this project. In addition a typical section of the road, cross sections,
drawings for pipe replacements and the channel change of Davis Branch, general notes and
standards on erosion control measures and a marked county map are enclosed. We proposed to
install the new culverts slightly below the existing streambed elevation where bedrock is not
encountered to minimize impact to wildlife habitat and allow the existing gradients to remain as
unchanged as physically possible.
The best management practice 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 controls are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices
are not functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with better devices. The silt
fences 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 Wildlife Resources
Commission, District Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide
permit request.
DD

Mr. Bob Johnson

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 = 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:
Kit riiil 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:

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)
