Dear Mr. Styles:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 110
linear feet of Silvers Cove Creek including the 30-foot pipe extension and 80 linear feet of stream
relocation in order improve SR 1501 (Silvers Cove Road) in Haywood County. The project should be
constructed in accordance with your application dated 5 June 2001. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3289 corresponding to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any
other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to)
Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire with the accompanying 404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water . Quality
Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is
thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.

4.
5.
In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the
trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15, or as otherwise determined by the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from
sedimentation during construction.
Stream relocation shall be performed using natural stream channel design principles.
The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel should not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of all culvert extensions.
All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be regularly inspected and maintained
to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic
materials.

6. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances should rock,
sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit,
except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts.
7. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
8. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If necessary, rip-rap should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark,
and vegetation should be used for stabilization above high water.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C.
27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone Ms. Cynthia Van Der Wiele at 919.733.1786 or Mr.

Asheville, NC 28801-5006
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1501, Silvers Cove Road in Haywood County.
In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, and
due to the relocation of 80 linear feet of Silvers Cove Creek (DEM Class C) and the
-2-0' replacement/extension of one (1) pipe culvert in Silvers Cove Creek, we are requesting
authorization under Section 404 of the Clean'Water Act.
Ito
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, drawings for
channel change and the pipe replacement/extension in Silvers Cove Creek, general notes and
standards on erosion control measures, and a marked County Map are enclosed. We propose
to install the new culvert slightly below the existing stream bed elevation where bedrock is not
encountered to minimize impact to Wildlife habitat and allow the existing stream gradient 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 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 installation and will
remain in place until the project is stabilized.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size, of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http•//h2o enr state nc us/ncwetlands/stmigide htn .

A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of afill section the bottom,
site sedimentation. It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at
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 oprotect there
outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant to ensure
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.

SILT BASIN TYPE-B:
7z??
A silt basin type-B is a temporary basin built to collect sediment flowing through a
drainage way. The silt basin is built at the base of the ditch with its length being at
least 2 times the width of the basin. The type-B silt basin is generally built in
conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices that control or slow
down water flow. This device must be monitored closely and cleaned out on a
regular basis until grass is established along the ditch line and sedimentation is no
longer a problem.
AREAS OF USE:
• In conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices used in
drainage ditches.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
Width - variable
Length - 2 times width
Depth - 2 ft. minimum storage - 1800 cubic feet/acre (equals L x W x D)

a
A rock pipe inlet protection type-A is a horseshoe shaped S?c?e The a b e ltt--in
sediment storage area around the outside perimeter of the
rock pipe inlet protection shall be used at pipe inlets no larger than 36 inches in
diameter where it is receiving flow from several directions. The
stone to protect drainage
inlet protection utilizes class-B stone lined with 4#5 or #57 P
pipe structures by trapping sediment before it enters. They have a sediment storage
pit which is designed by the same procedures as a silt basin.
AREAS OF USE:
• At inlets to pipes no larger than 36 inches in diameter where it receives flow
from several directions.
• In areas where it can be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Structural stone - class-B stone
• Sediment control stone - #5 or #57 stone
• Sediment storage area - 1800 cubic ft./acre
• Dam height - 3 ft. minimum

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
. The trapped sediment
particles transported in the stream from the construction frm the strewn.
shall be cleaned out before the device is removed
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)
