Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1407 Mill Creek Road
State Project No. 13C.059013) (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $240)
McDowell County, NC
Dear Ms. Beckwith:
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 secondary road project on SR 1407
Mill Creek Road, McDowell County, NC. The project was previously permitted during
2004 (Corps Actions ID - 200430808, DWQ Project No. 040549). Stream impacts have
been reduced by 16 linear feet from previously issued permits.
We propose to replace/extend two pipe culverts on UT's to Long Branch. Total
additional stream impact will be 24 feet. A temporary impervious dike will be used for
dewatering during installation and removal. The UT's are 0.5 and 4 feet wide,
respectively with gravel/sand/silt substrate. The pipe crossing at Site I will be relocated
from Station 59+50 to Station 62+50 as recommended by NC Wildlife Resources
Commission in 2004 (letter attached).
Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the
culvert. The culvert will be placed below existing streambed elevation whenever
possible. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with
the culvert extensions. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or
vegetated buffers prior to entering streams.
No effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their habitats is
anticipated.

SUBJECT: NCDOT Nationwide 404 Permit Application
SR 1407 (Mill Creek Road) culvert extensions for widening and paving, UTs Lon Branch
State Project No. 13C.0-59013
McDowell County, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Lund:
Mr. Roger D. Bryan of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) requested a letter of
concurrence From the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) for a 404 Permit from the
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. We reviewed the information provided by the applicant and visited the project
site on April 20, 2004 to assess the affected habitats. Our comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(48 Stat. 401, as amended: 16 U.S.C. 66 t-667d).
Widening and paving of portion of SR 1407 will require extending two culverts for a total of 40 linear
feet of impacts to unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Long Branch west of Old Fort, North Carolina. Temporary
encroachment into 300 feet of trout buffer will be required aloe: a roadside UT.
Long Branch is classified as C trout by the Division of Water Quality and is not designated as trout
water by the Commission. hlowever. w Id trout likely occur in this creek a short distance downstream of the
project area. Further, Mill Creek at its confluence with Long Branch is designated as hatchcr? support trout
water by the Commission. Therefore, in our opinion, short-term sedimentation from the proposed construction
has the potential to adversely affect trout.
The Commission is concerned about potential adverse effects of the proposed project on trout and other
aquatic resources in this drainage. The roadside stream, which was diverted to the ditch by the initial road
construction. likeiv receives hieh sediment loadine during storm events. We anticipate that elimination of the
gravel surface in this area should benefit trout resources downstream by eliminating, a substantial source of
sediment to Long Branch. Flowever, this benefit may be partially off-set by the oneoin:t erosion and slope
failure occurring at the outlet of the high perched culvert at station 69+60. which will be extended by 20 feet.
Therefore, we request that NCDOT, as part of the proposed project, repair the stream bank at this outlet to stop
the erosion that is occurrin(-, and ensure that the culvert extension does not exacerbate the problem. An
alternative that would probably result in a more stable stream would be a reroutine from its current alienment
along the road via a culvert crossing at station 63+60. From there it could be aligned throueh the cleared yard
where it likch occun-ed previously. Although this may shorten the stream, it would remove it from the roadside
ditch and allow for sonic natural channel dcsi,,n, thereby iniprovin, habitat quality.

Secured erosion control mating should be used in rpadan areas, instead ofstraw, nwlch.
3. Culverts that are less than Which diameter should have the floor of the barrel inst:dled 204; of the
chatterer of the cuhert below the level of the stream bottom. Culverts that are Wimch diameter or
larger should he placed with the floor of the barrel 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural
stream bottom materials to become established in the culvert tollowin_ 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. Whenever possible, perched culverts should be corrected.
4. 'The natural dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below the culverts should not be
modified by widening the stream channel or changing to depth of the stream.
5. 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. In stream
dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic fife, and disturbance of the natural form of the stream
channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possibly affecting other landowners.
I Excavation ofthc steam crossinzs should be conducted in the dry, ifpossible. Sandbags, cofferdams,
flexible pipe, orother diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
7. If concrete is used during culvert installaron fug., 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 elavated pil.
8. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking
movement of aquatic life.
9. Storm water should be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and not routed directly into streams.
10. Riprap should be minimized and installed in a manner so as not to interfere with aquatic life passage
during low flow, conditions. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the stream bank
below the high water mark, and vegetation should be used for stabiiization above the high water
elevation. We encourane NCDOT to utilize onsite vegetation and materials For stream bank
stabilization when practicable.
1 1. Removal of vegetation and grading and backfilling at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams
should be minimized. Wive trees and shrubs (e.g., rhododendron, dog hobble, wiliotivs, alders,
sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be planted alone the stream bank to
reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control and cover fix fish and wild it in
the vicinity of the road crossing and along the streams Whin the dedicated lights of way. Backfill
materials should be obtained from upland sites.
12. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in the srearn channel whenever
possible in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants
into the stream. All mechanized equipmentopermed near surface haters should be ins; ected and
maintained regularly to prevent contamination of stream ,caters from fuels; lubricants, hydraulic fluids
or other tonic materials.

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.
For silt basin size see attached plans.
Per permit conditions for Corps of Engineers and the Wildlife Resources
Commission, all pipes in streams 48" or greater must be buried 12" below
streambed elevation. Pipes less than 48" must be buried with 20% of the
diameter below streambed elevation.
Sheet 5 of 12
PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. Pipe to be placed in the dry.
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.
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.
