APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. C. R. Styles
N.C. DOT
Bryson City, NC 28713
Dear Mr. Styles:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.02 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
improving SR 1314, as you described in your application dated 17 April 1996. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
3026. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 3 when it is issued by the Corps
of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
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
Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under Section
401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-
1786.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Johnson,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base,
and pave primary along the existing roadway of SR 1314, Carson Road, in Swain County. In
order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, and due
to two proposed fill sections in an old stream channel, and a proposed pipe replacement along
one (1) unnamed tributary of the Tuckasegee River/Fontana Lake (DEM Class C), 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 replacement,
a drawing for the two (2) fill sections in the old streambed, 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.
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. In addition, I am
asking Mr. Yow and Mr. Ed Ingle, Area Roadside Environmental Engineer (NC DOT)and Mr.
Richard Phillips (DEHNR), to comment directly to 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:
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 frt. maximum

TEMPORARY ROCK SILT CHECK TYPE-B: -
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.
DESIGN 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 fL

ROCK PIPE INLET PROTECTION TYPE-B:
A rock pipe inlet protection type-B is 'a small horseshoe shaped structure. The
type-B rock pipe inlet protection. shall be used at pipe inlets which are 24 inches
and less in diameter where there is insufficient space for a type-A rock pipe inlet .
protection with storage area. The type-B rock pipe inlet protection utilizes class A
stone lined with #5 or #57 stone to protect drainage pipe structures by impounding
the sediment laden water before it enters the pipe to trap sediment. This device can
also be used around the inlet of temporary slope drains where space is limited at
the outlet end of slope drain such that a basin or other device can not be used.
AREAS OF USE:
• At inlets to pipes no larger than 24 inches in diameter where it receives flow
from several directions.
• In low flow areas where right of way is limited.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Structural stone - class A
• Erosion control stone - # 5 or # 57 stone.
Dam height - 1.5 ft. minimum.

RoCx SILT SCREEN:
' A mock 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 frt. minimum and 3 ft maximum (shall not be higher than
1 & above normal flow of stream)
