3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The Project Site for this application is confined to only the approximate 17.93 acres south of Black Beaver Road
identified in the two tracts named above. A substantial portion of the project site has been cleared and -graded in
association with timber harvesting and later conversion from forest to pasture use. Sedimentation issues in have been
cited by USACE and NCDWR as cause to issues NOV and Unauthorized Impact letters. Site stabilization activities are
on-going and sediment loss to the streams has been reduced as a result. A Corrective Action Plan has been prepared
to address sediment impacts to wetlands. UT-Steel Creek & Steel Creek. Approximately 120 linear feet of pipe has
been installed in Steel Creek (40 feet) and UT-Steel creek (80 feet) for temporary crossings. Additional details have
been documented in weekly monitoring reports and in the CAP. The site is surrounded by mostly forested land with low
density single family residential development.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.17 acres
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
2.023
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of this project is to harvest timber and convert a portion of a
forested tract to pasture land.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The overall project involved the clearing
of access roads and installation of temporary pipe culverts in Steel Creek (40 feet of 60" CPP) and UT-Steel creek (80
feet of 48" CPP). Timber was harvested durina fall and early winter 2016/17. The site was -grubbed to remove stumps and
a substantial amount of grading and earth moving occurred to smooth and level portions of the site and resulted in fill
impacts to 3 wetland areas. Heavy rains in early winter 2017 led to sedimentation of on-site streams. mostly UT-Steel Ck.
and several small wetlands. The Applicant received NOV and Unauthorized Activity letters from USACE and NCDWR in
early March of 2017. The 120 linear feet of temporary pipes will be removed and the stream will be restored under a plan
to be submitted to USACE and NCDWR by May 26.2017. Several riparian wetland areas impacted by sediment and
approximately 2000 linear feet of streams and portions of a 10-acre lake will also be restored under a CAP previously
submitted.

This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Transylvania County, North Carolina
Survey Area Data: Version 15, Sep 20, 2016
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Oct 15, 2011—Dec 9,
2011
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
