Andrew,
Thank you for your time on the phone this morning. I reached out to Brian Kirk about the potential continued use of the
existing access. His responses explaining why continued use of the existing access cannot continue are below:
1. The existing crossing was only being used as initial point of access to delay and shorten temporary stream
impacts. Additionally, the existing crossing is on a separate parcel. Continued use of this access could prevent
future use of that parcel (agriculture this spring).
2. The existing crossing is not considered in the current and approved plans (sediment & erosion control,
stormwater) for the development.
3. Construction of the development in a manner consistent with the plans will soon block this access and
continued use would require modification to existing/approved plans.
4. The distance to work areas from Howard Gap Road via the existing/initial access is greater, lower and wetter
than from the proposed temporary and permanent access location, and will require more disturbance and
materials to improve the existing/initial access for heavy machinery and material delivery.
5. A temporary access is needed in the location of the permanent access for the reasons stated above and also to
prevent damage to the permanent access (arched culvert) by delivery of heavy equipment and materials.
If the DWR Water Quality Certification is issued and allows installation of the temporary access as proposed, Moore &
Son will stabilize and restore disturbed area associated with the initial access point and install any measures necessary
to prevent stream impacts to the tributary of Clear Creek resulting from initial access. I have communicated to Brian of
Moor & Son that the DWR does not want the area upstream and downstream of the temporary/Permanent access to be
stabilized with rip/rap or other unnatural materials and that streambanks disturbed by the development shall be
restored to a natural condition using natural channel design techniques as I described in my previous email to you.
Your consideration of the need for the planned and designed temporary access at the permanent access location is
greatly appreciated. Please respond with questions and comments.
Thank you,

Thanks Joel.
Why is the temporary crossing needed if there is an existing field access point to be used for initial grading activities?

Andrew,

Sorry for the delayed response on this. Per the requested items in your email, please see my responses below:
I did confirm with Mike Anderson of Advantage Civil Engineering that the temporary crossing will be a culvert
type crossing and not a ford type crossing. I also asked Mike Anderson of Advantage Civil Engineering that he
ask the contractor to carefully read the PCN, this email and the 404/401 permit when it is received.
As stated in the PCN, flow in the tributary will be pumped around the work area during installation of the sewer
line and culvert type temporary crossing. Flow will be returned to the streambed after the sewer line is
installed and the temporary culvert is in place. During removal of the culvert type temporary crossing and
installation of the permanent arched culvert, stream flow will again be pumped around the work area. At
completion of the permanent crossing care will be taken to maintain and mimic natural channel geometry
above and below the crossing. Floodplain benches will be installed and graded to blend into existing benches if
they exist in undisturbed areas above and below the work area. Disturbed streambank slopes will be graded to
a maximum slope of 3H:1V and blend to natural slopes above and below the work area. Disturbed areas of the
streambank will be seeded with a Mountain Riparian Seed Mix similar to Ernst NC Mountains Riparian Mix
(ERNMX-304) and an annual grain appropriate for the season (oats, rye or millet) per manufactures
specification. All disturbed areas of the streambank within the trout buffer shown on the plans will be
fertilized using care to keep fertilizer out of the water/stream and mulched with wheat straw. Areas of the
streambank below the ordinary high water mark or bankfull elevation will be reinforced with minimum 400
gram/square meter weight Coir slope matting and be installed per the manufactures specification for
streambank applications. During periods of dry weather, streambanks will be watered until a six inch stand of
grassy vegetation is established.
Thank you again for your email and please let me know if any additional information is required.

Joel,
On December 17, 2018, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application dated December 14, 2018,
requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that
your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on hold until the following items are
addressed:
The Temporary Stream Crossing Detail on Sheet D3.2 of the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) depicts both
ford and culvert type crossings. Please confirm the temporary crossing will be a culvert type crossing or clearly
explain why the culvert type crossing is infeasible. [15A NCAC 02B .0200]
2. Please explain how streambanks will be stabilized following sewer line installation and/or provide a construction
sequence for the sewer line stream crossing, temporary stream crossing, and arch culvert that details how
sedimentation to the stream channel from disturbance along the streambanks will be prevented. If applicable, a
streambank stabilization detail may be advantageous. [15A NCAC 0213 .0200]
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not received, the Division will be unable to
approve the application and it will be returned.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.
