? Ditching
? Are the stream and or wetland mitigation sites available and viable?
? Check drawings for accuracy
Is the application consistent with pre-application meetings?
? Cumulative impact concern
Comments: As per our discussion regarding revision of the triage and delegation processes,
please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know.
Thanks!

As stated in my 8/29/05 memorandum I am sending the engineers plans, which were not quite
ready when I submitted the PCN forms. However, there are only plans for the
Pruette/Morrison and Garren Creek Volunteer Fire Department sites, as the Russell plans are
not quite finished. I apologize for not sending them together, but we just wanted to get the
ball rolling. The Russell plans will be sent as soon as possible. If there are any questions or
any other information is needed for you to complete your review for these sites, please do not

DENR WATER QUALITY
FROM: Gary Higgins, Director- Buncombe County S WCD \gETL*03 AND sTOrz} vnTEa BRANCH
REGARDING: Permit application for the Garren Creek Volunteer Fire Department
Emergency Watershed Protection
I have enclosed the application to obtain the necessary permits and other participation from
the agencies listed above for Emergency Watershed Protection program work on the Garren
Creek Volunteer Fire Department site. Jon Creighton, the Buncombe County Assistant
County Manager, has signed the permit, and his phone numbers and address are on the form.
The fire department site is in danger of being further damaged by storm-water during heavy
flows at the confluence of Flat and Garren Creeks. Mr. Jeff Young, NCDENR Division of
Soil & Water Engineer, has been flooded with design requests from all western counties
involved in EWP. He has assured us that he will have the designs for this project complete by
next week. We are submitting the application prior to the plans being complete, in order to get
the ball rolling. Plans will follow as soon as we get them from Mr. Young, possibly as soon as
this Friday.
This project should involve the following activities: removal of large rock/sand bar just
adjacent to and just down stream of the fire department building; restore channel dimension
by back filling the large area washed out; addition of rock structures; and revegetating the
entire area. Work will be done from the bank a much as possible, with protective barriers
being used during placement of soil/rock backfill, but due to the stream width, some work in
the stream may have to take place. The goal is to return the stream to it's original - proper
cross sectional area, stabilizing the stream banks, and revegetating completely. We expect that
a dump truck, track hoe and small dozer will be the equipment used at this site.
This is a project funded by the USDA - Emergency Watershed Protection Program and the
NCDENR 401 fees have been waived.
Office Use Only: Form Version May 2002

landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: impacts are expected to be
minimal, with some increase in turbidity during the placement of rock structures and
removal of debris. However, the long-term impact will be to improve the water quality
of the stream, by reducing erosion on the banks.

5. Pond Creation
if construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. hnpact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to water quality are expected to be minimal, with some increase in turbidity
during the placement of rock structures and removal of debris. Access to the channel and
it's width will determine the need for work in the water, but every effort will be made to
complete as much work as possible in the dry. The long-term impact of this work will be to
improve the water quality of the stream, by reducing erosion on the banks. Rock use for
structures will be clean.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
Page 9 or 12
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o. enr. state. nc.us/ncwetIands/strmgide. html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
None
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
(919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of

REGARDING: Permit application for the Garren Creek Volunteer Fire Department
Emergency Watershed Protection
I have enclosed the application to obtain the necessary permits and other participation from
the agencies listed above for Emergency Watershed Protection program work on the Garren
Creek Volunteer Fire Department site. Jon Creighton, the Buncombe County Assistant
County Manager, has signed the permit, and his phone numbers and address are on the form.
The fire department site is in danger of being further damaged by storm-water during heavy
flows at the confluence of Flat and Garren Creeks. Mr. Jeff Young, NCDENR Division of
Soil & Water Engineer, has been flooded with design requests from all western counties
involved in EWP. He has assured us that he will have the designs for this project complete by
next week. We are submitting the application prior to the plans being complete, in order to get
the ball rolling. Plans will follow as soon as we get them from Mr. Young, possibly as soon as
this Friday.
This project should involve the following activities: removal of large rock/sand bar just
adjacent to and just down stream of the fire department building; restore channel dimension
by back filling the large area washed out; addition of rock structures; and revegetating the
entire area. Work will be done from the bank a much as possible, with protective barriers
being used during placement of soil/rock backfill, but due to the stream width, some work in
the stream may have to take place. The goal is to return the stream to it's original - proper
cross sectional area, stabilizing the stream banks, and revegetating completely. We expect that
a dump truck, track hoe and small dozer will be the equipment used at this site.
This is a project funded by the USDA - Emergency Watershed Protection Program and the
NCDENR 401 fees have been waived.
Office Use Only: Fonn Version May 2002

landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 1 I by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: impacts are expected to be
minimal, with some increase in turbidity during the placement of rock structures and
removal of debris. However, the long-term impact will be to improve the water quality
of the stream, by reducing erosion on the banks.

5. Pond Creation
if construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to water quality are expected to be minimal, with some increase in turbidity
during the placement of rock structures and removal of debris. Access to the channel and
it's width will determine the need for work in the water, but every effort will be made to
complete as much work as possible in the dry. The long-term impact of this work will be to
improve the water quality of the stream, by reducinu erosion on the banks. Rock use for
structures will be clean.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
Page 9 of 12
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr. state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmaide. html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
None
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
(919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
