DWQ Project No. 030204
SR 1315 (Tater Gap Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. F.D. Martin, P.E., Division Engineer
NCDOT Division 13
P.O. Box 3279
Asheville, NC 28802
Dear Mr. Martin:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 80
linear feet of three unnamed tributaries to Shelton Laurel Creek in order to upgrade SR 1315 (Tater Gap
Road) in Madison County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated
February 17, 2003 (received February 21, 2003), including the environmental commitments made in the
application letter. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification No. 3375 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 only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us, in writing, and send us 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in.the.future) exceed one acre or stream impacts 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.
1. NCDOT shall use Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT March
1997).
2. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B .01241 shall
be implemented prior to any ground-disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic
resources.
3. Stormwater should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and must not be routed directly into
streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized
for storm water sheet flow.
4. 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 other conditions as determined by the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from
sedimentation during construction.
5. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of
the growing season following completion of construction.

6. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and to reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
7. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained
to prevent contamination of streams waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or toxic materials.
8. The pipes 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 must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below
locations of each culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to allow for fish and other
wildlife movement as well as prevent headcutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are
perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and installed correctly.
9. NCDOT must submit a plan for written DWQ approval to address any headcutting that will occur as a
result of this project.
10. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If rip-rap is necessary, it must be limited to the stream bank below the high water
mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water. Rip rap shall not be placed in
the stream bottom.
11. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate. of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the 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 that 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. Beth Barnes at 919.715.8394 or Mr. Mike Parker of
the Asheville Regional Office at-828:251,620& , - .. - .. - -- „ --- . .

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1315 Tater Gap Road
State Project No. 6.862288 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Madison County, NC
Dear Mr. Lund:
I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed project on SR 1315, Tater Gap
Road, Madison County, NC.
Tater Gap Road is currently a 12-14 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways plans
to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be moderate.
We propose to extend three existing culverts on three UT's to Shelton Laurel Creek.
Total culvert extensions will be 80 feet. Existing channel morphology will be maintained
upstream and downstream of the culvert. The culverts will be placed below existing
streambed elevation. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas
associated with the culvert extension. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined
ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams.
No stream relocation will be performed for the project. In situations where a stream
parallels the existing roadway, best management practices adopted by DOT require that
the proposed widening occur on the side opposite the stream. To the extent practical, the
shoulder adjacent to the stream will also be widened to increase the vegetated buffer area
between the roadway and streams. In addition, erosion control measures for sensitive
areas will be installed, including silt fence and a diversion berm.

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
Page 5 of 8
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.usl'ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
N/A
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at littp://112o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

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
