Re: Nationwide Permit Number
Beverly:
The Haw Creek Enhancement project is applying for nationwide permit number 13. The project
includes planting of native plants, mechanized land clearing to remove non-native invasive
plants, the installation of current deflectors to protect streambanks and to create riffle pool stream
structure, and a small modification to a streambank to restore a stream meander.
Thank you for your assistance and for your time.

Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
October 19, 2004
Buncombe County
Project Name: Haw River Enhancement
On October 19, 2004 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application
regarding your plan to impact 300 linear feet of stream for the purpose of stream enhancement in Buncombe County.
Approval from DWQ is required to disturb this stream. Please tell us which nationwide permit number you are
applying for. If you are applying for General Certification 3399 (which can be viewed on our web site at
htte//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands) which corresponds to Nationwide Permit 13, please carefully review condition
#3 which refers to stream enhancement projects. Please discuss whether this project meets the definition of stream
enhancement as described in this condition and in turn whether or riot written concurrence from DWQ is requested.
You should note that if written concurrence is requested, an application fee must be included with your submittal.
Beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General Assembly passed legislation requiring payment of a fee for all 401
applications, as indicated on page two of the PCN application form. The fee for applications is $200 for projects
impacting less than an acre of wetlands and less then 150 linear feet of streams. For projects impacting one or more
acres of wetlands or 150 or more feet of streams, the fee is $475. If you need or desire written concurrence for this
project, you must send a check in the appropriate amount made payable to N.C. Division of Water Quality.
Please telephone Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-1786 or Kevin Barnett at our Asheville Regional Office at 828-
299-4500 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or procedural materials. This project will
remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The processing time for this application
will begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks we will
assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.

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.
Page 9 of 12
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
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
littp://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwctlands/strmgide.litnil.
1. 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.
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
[phone] 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.litm. If use of

Directions to Athletic Field Property:
Take 70 East to New Haw Creek Road
Right onto New Haw Creek Road
Continue approximately 2 mile
Right on Bell Road
First turn to the left into gravel lot.
Existing conditions at flaw Creek Athletic Field property:
The 6.3-acre site consists of approximately 800 linear feet of Haw Creek. The area to the
east of Haw Creek contains a gravel parking lot. The area to the north of Haw Creek
contains three dirt and grassed baseball fields. At the southwestern property boundary
there is a bridge over Haw Creek on Bell Road. The banks of Haw Creek upstream of the
bridge approximately 200 feet are vegetated with a mixture of grass and willow. Farther
upstream the banks are vegetated with a mixture of exotic and native woody and
herbaceous plants. Haw Creek has historically been re-routed to flow around the ball
fields. The resulting 90-degree turn in the Creek has resulted in an unstable bank on the
outside of the meander bend, and several small unstable meanders just below the 90-
degree turn.
Land use in the vicinity of the subject property consists of residential properties, a private
recreation facility, and an elementary school.
Description of Overall Project:
Equipment to be used includes hand grubbing of exotics, mini-excavator, skid steer
loader, and a dingo. Equipment will be kept out of the creek to the largest extent
possible. It is anticipated that the majority of the work can be accomplished from the
bank, as Haw Creek is a small creek.
Purpose of Proposed Work:
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate stormwater best management practices, and to
improve the quality of surface water in Haw Creek. Demonstration will include stream
bank stabilization, and small-scale stream enhancement structures used to reduce stream
bank erosion.
Proposed Impacts:
We propose to install 6 cross vanes and 3 j hooks to direct the current away from the
unstable areas of the bank. We also propose to remove exotic invasive species including
rosa multiflora, and bittersweet. Upon removal of invasives, native plant species of
various sizes will be planted along the riparian corridor.
Impact Justification:
This section of Haw Creek has been relocated in the past. The relocation included
installing a 90-degree bend in to the upstream end of this section. The bend has resulted
in an unstable configuration, and significant bank erosion. The purpose of the stream
work proposed is to stabilize the bend using a combination of techniques. J hooks and
cross vanes will be used to re-direct the flow away from the eroding banks. One area of
the bank is extremely steep and eroded. The top portion of the bank, which is above
normal high water, will be re-graded to a more stable profile. The bank will be re-
vegetated with a temporary erosion control mix, and will also be planted using native
plants and an erosion control mat.
Stormwater:
Currently the ball fields drain directly into the creek. The fields lose a significant amount
of soil each year due to erosion. We propose to install several small curb type structures
to slow down runoff from the ball fields and to allow for sediment to drop out before
leaving the field. The accumulated sediment upstream of the small curbs will be
redistributed onto the fields. Overflow from the structures will be caught in a
bioretention area to allow for further settling.

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.
Page 9 of 12
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
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/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.

Directions to Athletic Field Property:
Take 70 East to New Haw Creek Road
Right onto New Haw Creek Road
Continue approximately 2 mile
Right on Bell Road
First turn to the left into gravel lot.
Existing conditions at Haw Creels Athletic Field property:
The 6.3-acre site consists of approximately 800 linear feet of Haw Creek. The area to the
east of Haw Creek contains a gravel parking lot. The area to the north of Haw Creek
contains three dirt and grassed baseball fields. At the southwestern property boundary
there is a bridge over Haw Creek on Bell Road. The banks of Haw Creek upstream of the
bridge approximately 200 feet are vegetated with a mixture of grass and willow. Farther
upstream the banks are vegetated with a mixture of exotic and native woody and
herbaceous plants. Haw Creek has historically been re-routed to flow around the ball
fields. The resulting 90-degree turn in the Creek has resulted in an unstable bank on the
outside of the meander bend, and several small unstable meanders just below the 90-
degree turn.
Land use in the vicinity of the subject property consists of residential properties, a private
recreation facility, and an elementary school.
Description of Overall Project:
Equipment to be used includes hand grubbing of exotics, mini-excavator, skid steer
loader, and a dingo. Equipment will be kept out of the creek to the largest extent
possible. It is anticipated that the majority of the work can be accomplished from the
bank, as Haw Creek is a small creek.
Purpose of Proposed Work:
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate stormwater best management practices, and to
improve the quality of surface water in Haw Creek. Demonstration will include stream
bank stabilization, and small-scale stream enhancement structures used to reduce stream
bank erosion.
Proposed Impacts:
We propose to install 6 cross vanes and 3 j hooks to direct the current away from the
unstable areas of the bank. We also propose to remove exotic invasive species including
rosa multiflora, and bittersweet. Upon removal of invasives, native plant species of
various sizes will be planted along the riparian corridor.
Impact Justification:
This section of Haw Creek has been relocated in the past. The relocation included
installing a 90-degree bend in to the upstream end of this section. The bend has resulted
in an unstable configuration, and significant bank erosion. The purpose of the stream
work proposed is to stabilize the bend using a combination of techniques. J hooks and
cross vanes will be used to re-direct the flow away from the eroding banks. One area of
the bank is extremely steep and eroded. The top portion of the bank, which is above
normal high water, will be re-graded to a more stable profile. The bank will be re-
vegetated with a temporary erosion control mix, and will also be planted using native
plants and an erosion control mat.
Stormwater:
Currently the ball fields drain directly into the creek. The fields lose a significant amount
of soil each year due to erosion. We propose to install several small curb type structures
to slow down runoff from the ball fields and to allow for sediment to drop out before
leaving the field. The accumulated sediment upstream of the small curbs will be
redistributed onto the fields. Overflow from the structures will be caught in a
bioretention area to allow for further settling.

Asheville, NC
Directions to Athletic Field Property:
Take 70 East to New Haw Creek Road
Right onto New Haw Creek Road
Continue approximately 2 mile
Right on Bell Road
First turn to the left into gravel lot.
Existing conditions at Haw Creek Athletic Field property:
The 6.3-acre site consists of approximately 800 linear feet of Haw Creek. The area to the
east of Haw Creek contains a gravel parking lot. The area to the north of Haw Creek
contains three dirt and grassed baseball fields. At the southwestern property boundary
there is a bridge over Haw Creek on Bell Road. The banks of Haw Creek upstream of the
bridge approximately 200 feet are vegetated with a mixture of grass and willow. Farther
upstream the banks are vegetated with a mixture of exotic and native woody and
herbaceous plants. Haw Creek has historically been re-routed to flow around the ball
fields. The resulting 90-degree turn in the Creek has resulted in an unstable bank on the
outside of the meander bend, and several small unstable meanders just below the 90-
degree turn.
Land use in the vicinity of the subject property consists of residential properties, a private
recreation facility, and an elementary school.
Description of Overall Project:
Equipment to be used includes hand grubbing of exotics, mini-excavator, skid steer
loader, and a dingo. Equipment will be kept out of the creek to the largest extent
possible. It is anticipated that the majority of the work can be accomplished from the
bank, as Haw Creek is a small creek.
Purpose of Proposed Work:
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate stormwater best management practices, and to
improve the quality of surface water in Haw Creek. Demonstration will include stream
bank stabilization, and small-scale stream enhancement structures used to reduce stream
bank erosion.
Proposed Impacts:
We propose to install 6 cross vanes and 3 j hooks to direct the current away from the
unstable areas of the bank. We also propose to remove exotic invasive species including
rosa multiflora, and bittersweet. Upon removal of invasives, native plant species of
various sizes will be planted along the riparian corridor.
Impact Justification:
This section of Haw Creek has been relocated in the past. The relocation included
installing a 90-degree bend in to the upstream end of this section. The bend has resulted
in an unstable configuration, and significant bank erosion. The purpose of the stream
work proposed is to stabilize the bend using a combination of techniques. J hooks and
cross vanes will be used to re-direct the flow away from the eroding banks. One area of
the bank is extremely steep and eroded. The top portion of the bank, which is above
normal high water, will be re-graded to a more stable profile. The bank will be re-
vegetated with a temporary erosion control mix, and will also be planted using native
plants and an erosion control mat.
Stormwater:
Currently the ball fields drain directly into the creek. The fields lose a significant amount
of soil each year due to erosion. We propose to install several small curb type structures
to slow down runoff from the ball fields and to allow for sediment to drop out before
leaving the field. The accumulated sediment upstream of the small curbs will be
redistributed onto the fields. Overflow from the structures will be caught in a
bioretention area to allow for further settling.

Directions to Athletic Field Property:
Take 70 East to New Haw Creek Road
Right onto New Haw Creek Road
Continue approximately 2 mile
Right on Bell Road
First turn to the left into gravel lot.
Existing conditions at Haw Creek Athletic Field property:
The 6.3-acre site consists of approximately 300 linear feet of Haw Creek. The area to the
east of Haw Creek contains a gravel parking lot. The area to the north of Haw Creels
contains three dirt and grassed baseball fields. At the southwestern property boundary
there is a bridge over Haw Creek on Bell Road. The banks of Haw Creek upstream of the
bridge approximately 200 feet are vegetated with a mixture of grass and willow. Farther
upstream the banks are vegetated with a mixture of exotic and native woody and
herbaceous plants. Haw Creek has historically been re-routed to flow around the ball
fields. The resulting 90-degree turn in the Creek has resulted in an unstable bank on the
outside of the meander bend, and several small unstable meanders just below the 90-
degree turn.
Land use in the vicinity of the subject property consists of residential properties, a private
recreation facility, and an elementary school.
Description of Overall Project:
Equipment to be used includes hand grubbing of exotics, mini-excavator, skid steer
loader, and a dingo. Equipment will be kept out of the creek to the largest extent
possible. It is anticipated that the majority of the work can be accomplished from the
bank, as Haw Creek is a small creek.
Purpose of Proposed Work:
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate stormwater best management practices, and to
improve the quality of surface water in Haw Creek. Demonstration will include stream
bank stabilization, and small-scale stream enhancement structures used to reduce stream
bank erosion.
Proposed Impacts:
We propose to install 6 cross vanes and 3 j hooks to direct the current away from the
unstable areas of the bank. We also propose to remove exotic invasive species including
rosa multiflora, and bittersweet. Upon removal of invasives, native plant species of
various sizes will be planted along the riparian corridor.
Impact Justification:
This section of Haw Creek has been relocated in the past. The relocation included
installing a 90-degree bend in to the upstream end of this section. The bend has resulted
in an unstable configuration, and significant bank erosion. The purpose of the stream
work proposed is to stabilize the bend using a combination of techniques. J hooks and
cross vanes will be used to re-direct the flow away from the eroding banks. One area of
the bank is extremely steep and eroded. The top portion of the bank, which is above
normal high water, will be re-graded to a more stable profile. The bank will be re-
vegetated with a temporary erosion control mix, and will also be planted using native
plants and an erosion control mat.
Stormwater:
Currently the ball fields drain directly into the creek. The fields lose a significant amount
of soil each year due to erosion. We propose to install several small curb type structures
to slow down runoff from the ball fields and to allow for sediment to drop out before
leaving the field. The accumulated sediment upstream of the small curbs will be
redistributed onto the fields. Overflow from the structures will be caught in a
bioretention area to allow for further settling.
