Project Description
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 is located on the North Fork of the New River in Walnut Hill Township near Jefferson, NC. Landcover in
the area consists of mixed hardwood conifer, managed herbaceous cover, and mixed upland hardwoods. The property is
used as the primary residents for the land owner. Surrounding land use is primarily residential suburban with some
agricultural/rural use. The riverbank at the property is moderately to severely eroded due to storm water runoff and lack of
vegetative buffer along stream.
3b.
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:;
0
3c.
List the total estimated linear feet of all, existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
817 LF
3d.
Explain the purpose of the proposed project:;
To repair and stabilize eroding bank by reestablishing proper bank profiles and to improve water quality and habitat for
aquatic fauna as well as riparian habitat on site. This will be achieved through bank reshaping, and with 1 in -stream
structure, along with adding large toe rock to the downstream side of the structure, repairing 2 existing log vanes and
planting of native woody vegetation and grasses.
3e.
Describe, the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Eroding banks will be reshaped to approximately 2:1, or flatter and planted with native vegetation. One (1) rock vane will
be constructed to divert the thalweg back to the center of the stream. Large toe rock will be placed from station 0+35 to
0+75 on the downstream bank from the rock vane. Existing log vanes will be resealed with geo fabric and river coble.
During construction a track hoe will do the work from the bank unless access to the river is necessary for proper structure
placement. After construction the bank will be seeded with native grass seed and sloped bank will be covered with
erosion control matting and anchored with live stakes and landscape staples. Flat areas will be seeded and mulched with
straw. All areas will be planted with live stakes (Silky Willow, Salix Sericea) (Silky Dogwood, Cornus amomum)
(Elderberry, Sambucus canadensis) along with native rhododendron, mountain laurel and river birch.

Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.
Avoidance and Minimization
1 a.
Specifically, describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
This project will stabilize 79 LF of eroding stream bank, reduce stream bank erosion, reduce in -stream sediment loads
and improve in -stream aquatic habitats. Stream aesthetics will be improved with the establishment of a well vegetated
and functioning riparian zone
b.
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
During construction, equipment will only access the stream when absolutely necessary. For this project, it is anticipated
that most of the track hoe work can be accomplished from the top of the bank. However, equipment may need access the
stream during the construction when no other construction alternative exists. Soil disturbance will be limited to what can
seeded and stabilized in one day. Banks will be seeded and coir matting will be placed and anchored with wooden
stakes. Flat areas will be seeded and covered with straw.

TO: Amanda Jones, Permit Coordinator

FROM:
Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator Habitat
Conservation Program
DATE: November 28, 2006
SUBJECT: Review of an application for Jim and Laura Green by National Committee for the New River
(NCNR), Ashe County
The NCNR is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC)
to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by
the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These 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. 661-667d).
The project will create a gradually sloped riverbank, install natural stream design log vanes and root wads, and stabilize
the bank with matting and live stakes. Total riverbank involvement is 218 linear feet. Smallmouth bass are known for
this area. Projects in Ashe County have the potential to impact North Carolina listed species {Green floater (Lasmigona
subviridis, NC.E. FSC); Kanawha minnow Phenacobius teretulus, NCSC. FSCI; Tonguetied minnow (Exoglossum
laurae, NCSR); Kanawha darter (Etheostoma kanawhae, NCSR); logperch. (Percina caprod.es, NCT): seep mudalig,
(Leptoxis d.ilatata, NCT) sh@Mnose darter (Percina cWhvnchzts, NCSC): purple wgMback (Cyclonaias tuberculata,
NCSC): spike. (Elliptio dilatata, NCSC)} and species on the NC watch list {Appalachia darter (Percina
gymnocephala); New River crayfish (Cambarus chasmodactylus);and a crayfish with no common name (Orconectes
cristavarius)} .
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our information on the range of trout in the project area, we
do not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters supporting trout. Therefore, we do not object to the
project. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds (15A
NCAC 4B .0124). We routinely recommend buffers be reforested with silky dogwood, rhododendron, dog hobble, red
maple, silky willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, or other native woody species to provide long term bank
stability and stream shading. To the extent possible, a minimum of the twenty-five (25) foot frout buffer should be
provided. Wider undisturbed buffers of 200' are recommended to protect listed species.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding these
comments, please contact me at 336-769-9453.
