Each set of the'submitted documents includes a completed Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Form and one set of Construction Plans and Specifications for restoration of the creek and stabilization of the north (left facing downstream) bank. The Construction Plans present both current stream and stream bank erosion conditions associated with a meander in Jonathan's Creek that has accelerated and is likely to produce slope failures that will impact residences as well as the design plans proposed for stabilization of the left bank throughout the property of Ms. Sonja Michels, owner of the Creekwood Village Resort. A check in the amount of $570.00 for the Water Quality Permit is attached to the top copy of the PCN. We appreciate your assistance with this project. If there are questions that arise during your review please contact the author of this transmittal letter at telephone number (828) 231-0598 or email address: drbdangbellsouth.net. Respectfully, B.

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Minimize width of bench to overflow during 2 -year return frequency storm event and Maximized use of boulder vanes and J -Hook vanes to realign and configure the Thalweg in the central portion of the stream. Use excavated materials from Thalweg to stabilize vanes with no increase in volume in the 100 -year flood. Spoils from slope excavation will be stored permanently above the 100 -year floodplain elevation so there is no reduction in the volume of the floodplain. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Excavation of the north bank slope will be accomplished be excavating material from the back of the cut slope to the front so that there is always a buffer between the excavation and the stream channel.

The cutting is 3 feet long and is pushed into the soil or inserted into a predrilled hole 2 feet into the ground in April. Benefits: • Much cheaper than container stock. • Easy to plant and handle. • Dogwood provides wildlife food. • Pussy Willow (Salix Discolor) provides early season nectar for bees. • Great for stabilizing stream banks • Provides a substitute for invasive plants • Can easily be cut from power lines and other plants Planting Instructions: • Plant dormant in April or November • Plant a three foot stake 2 feet into the ground • Cut branches with several buds and nodes as these will form roots and new branches • Live stakes are more vigorous if planted in the spring. • Plant them as soon as possible after cutting them or receiving them in the mail • Keep stakes moist and cool while storing them • Larger diameter stakes have more store energy and often sprout more vigorously • Best if planted in soils with high water tables (hydric soils) or moderately drained soils with heavy loamy, silty or clayey textures. • Select non -stoney soils such as flood plains for installation. • Cut one end of the stake to a sharp point to help push it into the ground. • Pre -drill a planting hole by hammering a piece of rebar into the ground or use an auger Above: A red -osier dogwood, live stake which has produced leaves from nodes.

Craig Fischenich November 2007 Complexity Environmental Value Cost Low Moderate Hi eh Lo« Moderate Hiuli Low Moderate High OVERVIEW The live stake (LS) and joint planting (JP) soil bioengineering systems are units fabricated from live, woody plant material branches. Over time, the LS's are effective for erosion control and the JP system provides reinforcement to slopes upon which rock has been placed. The LS and JP live cut branches are expected to grow roots and top growth, with the roots providing additional soil reinforcement and surface cover providing protection from runoff and streamflow. The LS and JP units are used from the baseflow elevation up the face of the streambank, acting principally to protect the bank toe and face. In the case of the JP's, the root soil reinforcement serves to augment bank protection. The LS's and JP's are also useful to improve erosion control and infiltration and support the riparian zone. Once top growth has developed, both systems have the potential to accumulate sediment (Figures 1-7). L...A Figure 1.
