Dear Mr. Swain:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 20 linear feet of
an unnamed tributary to Little Crooked Creek (20 linear feet of new pipe) in order to make improvements to NCSR
1105 (Bethel Church Road) in McDowell County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the
application dated February 11, 2004 (received February 13, 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 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.
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.

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 Best 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. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction. The WRC recommends not using tall fescue in riparian areas and
encourages DOT to use erosion control matting instead of straw mulch in riparian areas.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Heavy 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 fish kills.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is strictly prohibited.
14. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. 1, nder 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.
15. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking movement of
aquatic life.
16. 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.
17. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
18. 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.

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 1105, Bethel Church
Road, McDowell County, NC.
Bethel Church Road is currently a 14-16 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways
plans to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be
light.
We propose to extend one existing culvert on an UT to Little Crooked Creek. Total
culvert extension will be 20 linear feet. No stream relocation will be perfonned for the
project. Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of
the culvert. The culvert 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 significant effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their
habitats is anticipated.
As a part of the 401 Certification process, a copy of the application will be forwarded to
the NC State Historic Preservation Office as required by Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and GS 121-12(a).

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://lt?o.enr.state.nc.tis/nc?retlandsistrmtide.litml.

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these pen-nits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
With regard to hazardous spill basins, the road is not classified as an arterial route and is not
within 0.5 mile of a water supply critical area, therefore hazardous spill basins are not required.

EROSION CONTROL PLAN SHEET
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as
follows:
Temporary silt basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt fences and temporary silt ditches shall be installed after
clearing and before grading.
Temporary stone ditch checks shall be installed as soon as
ditch line is established.
Pipe outlet and inlet protection will be done as soon as the
pipe is installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are
to be implemented as soon as practical.
Temporary rock silt checks (type B) will be spaced as required
by percent of grade as described on page VI-16 in the Erosion
And Sedimentation Guidelines.
No. 5 stone, or equivalent, will be used in conjunction with
temporary rock silt check Type-B in locations where water is
leaving the project or entering a pipe.
Silt basin size is 9'x3'x2' for 75 feet of disturbed ditch line unless otherwise
noted.
Silt basin (Type B) are designed for 1200 cubic feet per acre every storm event
and cleaned out when half full.
Per permit conditions for Corps of Engineers and the Wildlife Resources
Commission, all pipes in streams must be buried 12" below streambed
elevation.

PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screen will be used.
2) Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as possible,
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from project.
3) Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as possible
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from project.
Where possible, new grade will be below existing streambed. If needed,
bedding material will be clean stone.
4) Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5) Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also complete
installation of erosion control measures and perform maintenance as needed
on existing measures.
6) Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
