SPECIAL PERMIT CONDITIONS
1. Permittee shall mitigate for 349 linear feet of unavoidable stream channel impacts
associated-with this project by restoring 349 linear feet of stream channel on-site
as described by the submitted mitigation proposal. This proposal specifies that
1767 linear feet of stream channel will be restored with 1418 linear feet of stream
restoration mitigation credits remaining upon release of the restoration project.
Regional Conditions
For all NWPs that involve construction of culverts, measures will be included in the
construction that will promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. For
all culvert construction activities, the dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream,
(above and below a pipe or culvert), should not be modified by widening the stream
channel or by reducing the depth of the stream. Culvert inverts will be buried at least one
foot below the bed of the stream for culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter.
Recommended by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission:
i
1. Permittee shall install in-stream silt curtain weighted at the bottom, and stringent
bank erosion control. If tree removal is required, stumps and roots should remain
intact for bank stabilization.
2. Permittee shall initiate in-stream construction activities only during low flow
conditions that allow for the effective deployment of the silt curtain.
3. Permittee shall install silt fences and temporary check dams at all wetland and
stream crossings to be removed following completion of the activity and proper
stabilization of disturbed soils within the work area.
4. Permittee shall seed wetland areas with wetland seed mixture only. Species
selection shall be subject to Corps approval.
