Division of Water (duality April 29, 2004 Cherokee County DWQ Project No. 040481 SR 1134 (Laney Tilson Road) APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Mr. R. G. Watson, P.E. Division Engineer N C Department of Transportation 253 Webster Road Sylva, North Carolina 28779 WETLANDS 1401 CROUP MAY 0 t Too WATER QUALITY SECTION Dear Mr. Watson: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 53 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Persimmon Creek (35 linear feet of new pipe and 18 linear feet of stream channel loss) in order to make improvements to NCSR 1134 (Laney Tilson Road) in Cherokee County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the application dated March 18, 2004 (received March 29, 2004), 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. 3404, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you must 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 in writing 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 211 .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. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards: a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual. b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project. c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual. d. Any reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. 2090 U. S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, N.C. 28778 Telephone 828/296-4500 Fax: 828/299-7043 Customer Service: 1-877/623-6748 Mr. R. G. Watson April 29, 2004 Page Two 2. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Hest Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. 3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Quality has released the project. 4. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout spawning season of January 1 through April IS, or other conditions as determined by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from sedimentation during construction. Persimmon Creek is Hatchery Supported Designated Public Mountain Trout Waters by the NCWRC. 5. NCWRC recommends not using tall fescue in riparian areas. Also, erosion control matting should be used in riparian areas, instead of straw mulch. 6. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 7. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater sheet flow. 8. Culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of their size to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch diameter or larger should be buried at least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. 'this may require increasing the size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible. 9. Removal of vegetation at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams should be minimized. Native trees and shrubs (e.g. Rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be planted along the streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control in the vicinity of the road crossing and along the streams within dedicated rights of way. 10. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the streambank below the high water mark, and vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water elevation. 11. IIeavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. 12. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. 13. Excavation of the stream crossings and relocations should be conducted in the dry, if possible. Sandbags, cofferdams, flexible pipe or other diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in flowing water. 14. If concrete is used during culvert installation (e.g., headwalls), a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pll. 15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is strictly prohibited. 16. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must 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. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life and disturbance of the natural form of the stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possible affecting other landowners. 17. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking movement of aquatic life. Mr. R. G. Watson April 29, 2004 Page Three 18. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for permitted areas associated with culvert conditions. 19. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions. 20. 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. NCDOT is strongly advised to send in photographs upstream and downstream of each structure to document correct installation. 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 Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500. Sincerely, r" Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

This project consists of two sections. The first section is SR 1131, Tilson Road, which begins at SR 1134 and ends at intersection with /1d SR 1132. The permits for this section were obtained and work is complete, except for paving," which will be done this spring. The Action Id.: 200430170, and DWO Project No.: 031433 can be referenced for existing permit information. Right of Way was obtained on subject road just prior to commencement of construction on the first section and it was decided to construct it as well. It was discovered that permits were not obtained for a jurisdictional area during construction. The work consists of widening and paving the existing gravel road to a standard 18' roadway. Also, NCDOT is shifting the alignment through one curve to improve radius of curvature and sight distance. The improvements of SR 1134 has been identified as necessary maintenance and safety improvements. Funds have been allocated for this project, and NCDOT would like to complete these activities during the spring of 2004. I am sending a straight-line diagram with the proposed construction limits along this project. In addition, I am sending a typical section of the road, cross sections, drawings for pipe culvert replacements as well as a marked county map and USGS quad map. We propose to install the new culverts slightly below the existing streambed elevations where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impacts to aquatic habitats and allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as physically possible. I have consulted with Division Environmental Officer, Mark Davis, and it is his opinion that no threatened or endangered species are known to be present in or near the project area; therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated from project construction. If the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Office of State Archaeology determine that further investigations are required, NCDOT will conduct the appropriate site investigations and obtain compliance from SI-IPO prior to project construction. The best management practices are being used to minimize and control sedimentation and erosion on this project. The construction foreman has reviewed 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 be immediately replaced with better devices. Impacts to Waters of the United States In order to construct the project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United States in the I liwassee River Basin. Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to extend/replace one metal culvert in an unnamed tributary to Persimmon Creek (DWQ Class C). Listed below is a summary of the proposed impacts.

We are proposing that the new pipes will be installed slightly below The existing streambed to allow for fish aquatic life vassa ie. VIII. Mitigation N/A DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 211 .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 6 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://li2o.enr.state.nc.tis/ncwetlands/strmcti(le.litml. 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 ltlip://h2o.cnr.st ite.nc.us/«,rp/index.htm.
