Dear Mr. Setzer:
DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to incur the following
impacts in order to make improvements to Bridge No. 140 on NCSR 1501 and Bridge No. 141 on NCSR 1500, in
Transylvania County:
• Bridge No. 140-10 linear feet of impact to Bryson Creek for new timber mudsill footings and wing wall
and approximately 80 linear feet of temporary impacts for coffer dams and temporary dewatering; and
• Bridge No. 141-10 linear feet of impact to Bryson Creek for new timber mudsill footings and wing wall
and approximately 80 linear feet of temporary impacts for cofferdams and temporary dewatering.
The projects must be constructed in accordance with the application dated April 2, 2004 (received August 16,
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
Nos. 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regional General Permit Number 31. 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 if
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.
I.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. onc

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. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained on the project
site to avoid impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should
be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
Areas around stream crossings and adjacent to streams should be seeded and stabilized with anchored erosion
control matting instead of straw.
5. Stormwater shall 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 diffuse flow.
6. Discharge of materials into the stream from demolition of the old bridges should be avoided as much as
practicable. Any materials that inadvertently reach surface waters should be removed.
7. The natural dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the site should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or changing the depth of the stream (width/depth ratio). Any over widened
areas at the bridge sites should be restored to the width/depth ratio typical of reaches upstream and downstream.
8. 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 bridge supports or areas that require restoration
of proper stream width.
9. Removal of vegetation adjacent to the stream 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 along the stream within dedicated rights of way, if possible.
10. Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and tree and shrub growth should be retained if possible to
ensure long term availability of shoreline cover for fish and wildlife. Backfill materials should be obtained
from upland areas.
11. 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.
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. All work 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. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is strictly prohibited.
15. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on
aquatic life, and disturbance of the natural form of the stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion
problems, possibly affecting other landowners.
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 the bridge construction.
17. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions (below bankfull).
Mr. J. B. Setzer, P.E.
October 26, 2004

18. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between
wet concrete and surface waters. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged
to surface waters due to the potential for fish kills.
19. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify the 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 Transportation Permitting Unit of the
NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. The 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.

Bridge Numbers 140 and 141 over Bryson Creek, SR 1501 and SR 1500
Transylvania County -? zoo we-# 141B• 2 09&l f
Dear Mr. Lund,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen Bridge
Numbers 140 on SR 1501 and 141 on SR 1500, both over Bryson Creek (Class C), in
Transylvania County. The existing bridges are both single span timber and steel structures with
an overall lengths of 16'. The new bridges will maintain their existing lengths but be widened
10'. New timber mudsill footings will be placed adjacent to the existing footings and the timber
bulkheads and wingwalls on the downstream sides will be extended. Traffic will use the existing
bridge to detour while half of the new bridge is widened downstream. Sandbag cofferdams will
be used if necessary to ensure a clean, dry area, and to minimize impacts to aquatic habitats and
allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as physically possible.
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 determines that further
investigations are required, NCDOT will conduct the appropriate site investigations and obtain
compliance from SHPO prior to project construction.
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 is being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not
functioning as intended, they will be immediately replaced with better devices.

financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Page 7 of I I
Silt fence will be used around the project to reduce run-off into the stream. Any potential
impacts from offsite sedimentation from the project site will be avoided by the
implementation of appropriate BMP's
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/strmgide.html.
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.
