Dear Ms. Groome:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the restoration of
approximately 1820 linear feet of Hickory Creek, Class WS-IV waters, Cape Fear River
Basin. Insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your project must be built
as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore,
unless modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to move
toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e) and will place
this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information.

(1) Stream Restoration is defined as "the process of converting an unstable, altered
or degraded stream corridor, including adjacent riparian zone and floodprone
areas to its natural or referenced, stable conditions considering recent and
future watershed conditions. This process also includes restoring the
geomorphic dimension, pattern and profile as well as biological and chemical
integrity, including transport of water and sediment produced by the stream's
watershed in order to achieve dynamic equilibrium." Based on your submittal,
there is not enough information to conclude the stream restoration will be
achieved. As such, you must provide seven copies of a complete Pre-
construction Notification Application and a fee of $475.00 made out to the
Division of Water Quality.
(2) The site plans/maps must contain the information specified in Section 2.3.3 of
The Internal Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, April 2001.
Please revise the site plans and maps to contain this information. Please locate
the stream features such as riffles, pools, runs and glides on the site plan for
both the upstream and downstream reaches.

(3) A more detailed planting plan must be provided for the proposed stream
buffers. The planting plan should include tree planting densities of the
appropriate native species that will result in a survival rate of 320 trees per acre
after five years. Please revise the site plans to include the extent and nature of
the plantings and buffers.
(4) Please provide the precise locations of the reference reaches. Please analyze
and document the appropriateness of each reach, particularly Duhart Creek
reference reach given its geographical distance from Hickory Creek.
(5) Please provide a physical monitoring plan. It is recommended that the plan be
based on the Wetland Restoration Program's Draft Physical and Vegetation
Monitoring Outline (Success Criteria) available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/restore.html.
(6) Biological monitoring is required to ensure that this project will result in
compliance with Water Quality Stream Standards for Class WS-IV waters.
Specifically, this site is currently in violation (Notice of Violation dated
February 15, 2001) of 15A NCAC 2B .0216 (2) which states that the
preclusion of best usage, which include a water supply source for drinking,
culinary, or food-processing purposes, aquatic life propagation, biological
integrity, wildlife, and secondary recreation, represent a water quality standard
violation. Biological monitoring will provide documentation that this element
of best usage has been restored to Hickory Creek. A written biological
monitoring plan based on the Benthic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Protocols
for Stream Mitigation Projects, which is available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/restore.htmi, must be submitted for approval.
(7) Please provide assurance that the restored/relocated channel will be protected
in perpetuity. One option would be to establish a conservation easement or
deed restriction along the Hickory Creek and its riparian buffers.
Please respond, in writing, both to this Office and to John Dorney, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 within three weeks of receipt of this letter outlining your
intent to proceed with this project or withdraw your application. If you wish to
proceed, please address the items listed above.

Further, Mr. John Thomas with the US Army Corps of Engineers, indicated during a
telephone conversation that this site may not be eligible for Permitting under NW 27.
Accordingly, it is proposed that a meeting be held on site in order to affirm the
appropriateness of NW 27 for use as a tool to resolve these violations. If it is determined that
the restoration is to be conducted through a Restoration Order or through some other similar
mechanism by the Corps of Engineers it is also this Office's recommend that we use this
meeting to adequately resolve the concerns noted above. This is necessary to ensure that both
State surface water standard violations are adequately abated and to stem future or additional
civil penalty recommendations.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mrs. Jennifer Frye or
me at [phone].

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USAGE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Penn app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
W A T??Q
?O G
o -c
Page 1 of 12
-AMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg.pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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.
The nroiect will enhance stream stability by urotectinPa streambanks. nrovidinPa Parade control.
improving bed features, and reducing sediment concentrations in the stream. Stream impacts
during construction will be minimized by working from the streambank and limiting
ground disturbance to only those areas in the immediate vicinity of instream structures.

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
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
ht!p://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/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.

INTRODUCTION
The project site is an 1820-ft reach of Hickory Creek on the Groome Sandrock property in
Guilford County near Greensboro, North Carolina (Figure 1). The project watershed drainage
area is 0.45 square miles. The project will include relocation of a straightened incised channel,
establishment of a floodplain bench, installation of boulder and log structures, and planting of
native riparian vegetation in the stream corridor. This stream is a tributary to the Deep River in
the Cape Fear River Basin. Water quality concerns include sedimentation from streambank
erosion and loss of habitat resulting from poor riparian vegetation and channel alterations.
Project goals are to: (1) improve water quality and aquatic habitat by reducing sedimentation; (2)
improve stream stability; and (3) improve riparian and floodplain functionality. These goals will
be met by implementing a natural channel design that enhances the channel's dimension, pattern
and profile to a natural, stable form.
EXISTING CONDITION
The project consists of two stream reaches separated by the entrance road to the rock quarry
operation. The upstream reach extends 900 feet from the property line down to the road, with the
downstream reach extending 920 feet from the road down to a stable reach of the stream on the
property. The stream is located in a wide alluvial valley in the Piedmont physiographic region.
The stream channel was straightened historically to facilitate agriculture and mining operations
on the floodplain. The alluvial valley and floodprone area extends approximately 100 feet on
both sides of the channel to the next hillslope. The valley has been greatly altered by the mining
of gravel and rock over the past 50 years.
The upstream project reach is classified as an E5 Rosgen Stream Type with bank height ratios
ranging from 1.1 to greater than 2.0. The downstream project reach is classified as a G5 Rosgen
Stream Type also with bank height ratios ranging from 1.1 to greater than 2.0. Previous
channelization and buffer removal has caused channel incision and severe bank erosion in some
sections. Channelization has also caused a significant loss of pools. The bedforms are mostly
riffles and runs. The riparian area is predominantly grass with few trees and little shade over the
stream.
BANKFULL VERIFICATION
Bankfull stage is indicated by narrow benches and scour lines below the top of the streambank.
The reach is located on a flat alluvial floodplain and contains little bedrock to maintain grade and
prevent downcutting. The cross sectional areas measured in the field agree with the NC
Piedmont Urban Regional Curve shown in Figure 3.

REFERENCE REACH ANALYSES
A tributary to Lake Jeanette near Greensboro was used as the reference reach for the upstream
reach because of its similar characteristics and stability. Duhart Creek near Charlotte was used as
a reference reach for the downstream reach. The reference reach values and ratios are shown on
e esign table in the Appendix.

NATURAL CHANNEL DESIGN
The plan view of the natural channel design and tables of design parameters are shown in the
Appendix. The existing unstable channel in the upstream reach will be replaced with a new
meandering channel based on reference reach data. The new channel will be located in a forested
area of the floodplain farther away from the active mining operations than the current channel. A
minimum 50-ft riparian buffer will be established on both sides of the new channel. Following
construction and stabilization of the new channel, the existing channel will be plugged using root
wads and compacted clay and the entire area will be stabilized using native vegetation. The
downstream reach will be improved by excavating a floodplain bench at the bankfull stage,
installing boulder cross vanes, stabilizing eroding streambanks, and planting native riparian
vegetation.
Instream structures will include 24 boulder cross vanes and 100 root wads to protect
streambanks, maintain narrow channel width, enhance pool habitat, and provide grade control.
Root wads will be installed along the outside of meander bends to improve streambank stability
and fish habitat.
2
A minimum 50-ft riparian buffer will be established from the top of the streambank. Live
cuttings of black willow and silky dogwood will be staked along each meander bend. A
combination of native herbaceous and woody vegetation will be established in the riparian
buffer. Permanent seeding will include native grasses and woody vegetation. All permanent
planting will be in accordance with Guilford County Development Ordinance. Temporary
vegetation for erosion control will include annual rye (cool season) or millet (warm season)
depending on the construction schedule. The existing stable tree buffers will be maintained in the
current condition.
SEDIMENT TRANSPORT
A stable stream has the capacity to move its sediment load without aggrading or degrading over
time. The total load of sediment can be divided into bedload and suspended load. Suspended load
is normally composed of fine sand, silt and clay particles transported in the water column.
Bedload is transported by rolling, sliding, or hopping (saltating) along the bed. The movement of
sediment particles depends on the energy of the stream and their physical properties. Grain size
has a direct influence on the mobility of a-given particle. Critical dimensionless shear stress (i*c;)
is a measure of the force required to move a given size particle resting on the channel bed. It can
be calculated for a gravel-bed stream using a surface and subsurface particle sample from a
representative riffle in the reach.
-0.872
i *c; = 0.0834 d` [Equation 1]
(d5o)
Where, i*6 = critical dimensionless shear stress
d; = median particle size of riffle pavement (mm)
d50 = median particle size of riffle subpavement (mm)
Critical dimensionless shear stress can then be used in the following equation to predict the
minimum water depth required to move the d84 of the pavement sample. The water depth is
calculated by:
1.651 * . d84
Dcr = [Equation 2]
S
Where, Dcr = water depth (ft)
i*?i = critical dimensionless shear stress
d84 = d84 of pavement sample (ft)
s = average channel slope (ft/ft)
Critical dimensionless shear stress was calculated based on a pavement/subpavement analysis
(see Appendix). The calculated critical dimensionless shear stress is 0.074 for the upstream reach
and 0.021 for the downstream reach.
3
To find the depth of water necessary to move the d84 of the pavement sample, Equation 2 was
used. The calculated critical depth was 0.6 ft for the upstream reach and 1.3 ft for the
downstream reach. At these water depths in the design channels, particles up to the d84 size
would be mobile. The mean bankfull depths for the proposed restoration design are 1.5 ft for the
upstream reach and 1.3 ft for the downstream reach; therefore, the design channels will be able to
transport the materials without aggrading. As a check, boundary shear stress was calculated for
the design dimension and compared with Shields Curve. The shear stress placed on the sediment
particles is the force that entrains and moves the particles, given by:
z = yRs [Equation 3]
Where, 1r = shear stress (lb/ft2)
y = specific gravity of water (62.41b/ft)
R = hydraulic radius (ft)
s = average channel slope (ft/ft)
If the shear stress is determined from the Shield's diagram to move a particle size that is
significantly larger or smaller than the d84 of the pavement, then the sinuosity may need to be
adjusted to alter the average channel slope. Boundary shear stress was calculated for the design
to be 0.21 lbs/ft2 for the upstream reach and 0.461bs/ft2 for the downstream reach. From Shields
diagram (Figure 4), the shear stresses in the upstream and downstream reaches will be able to
move particle sizes of approximately 13 and 27 mm, respectively.

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USAGE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at htt2://www.saw.usace.anny.mil/wetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedRegpdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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.
The nroiect will enhance stream stabilitv by protecting streambanks, providing grade control,
improving bed features and reducing sediment concentrations in the stream. Stream impacts
during construction will be minimized by working from the streambank and limiting
ground disturbance to only those areas in the immediate vicinity of instream structures.
Page 7 of 12
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
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
hiip://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/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.
Page 8 of 12
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/M/l*ndex.htm. If

INTRODUCTION
The project site is an 1820-ft reach of Hickory Creek on the Groome Sandrock property in
Guilford County near Greensboro, North Carolina (Figure 1). The project watershed drainage
area is 0.45 square miles. The project will include relocation of a straightened incised channel,
establishment of a floodplain bench, installation of boulder and log structures, and planting of
native riparian vegetation in the stream corridor. This stream is a tributary to the Deep River in
the Cape Fear River Basin. Water quality concerns include sedimentation from streambank
erosion and loss of habitat resulting from poor riparian vegetation and channel alterations.
Project goals are to: (1) improve water quality and aquatic habitat by reducing sedimentation; (2)
improve stream stability; and (3) improve riparian and floodplain functionality. These goals will
be met by implementing a natural channel design that enhances the channel's dimension, pattern
and profile to a natural, stable form.
EXISTING CONDITION
The project consists of two stream reaches separated by the entrance road to the rock quarry
operation. The upstream reach extends 900 feet from the property line down to the road, with the
downstream reach extending 920 feet from the road down to a stable reach of the stream on the
property. The stream is located in a wide alluvial valley in the Piedmont physiographic region.
The stream channel was straightened historically to facilitate agriculture and mining operations
on the floodplain. The alluvial valley and floodprone area extends approximately 100 feet on
both sides of the channel to the next hillslope. The valley has been greatly altered by the mining
of gravel and rock over the past 50 years.
The upstream project reach is classified as an E5 Rosgen Stream Type with bank height ratios
ranging from 1.1 to greater than 2.0. The downstream project reach is classified as a G5 Rosgen
Stream Type also with bank height ratios ranging from 1.1 to greater than 2.0. Previous
channelization and buffer removal has caused channel incision and severe bank erosion in some
sections. Channelization has also caused a significant loss of pools. The bedforms are mostly
riffles and runs. The riparian area is predominantly grass with few trees and little shade over the
stream.
BANKFULL VERIFICATION
Bankf ill stage is indicated by narrow benches and scour lines below the top of the streambank.
The reach is located on a flat alluvial floodplain and contains little bedrock to maintain grade and
prevent downcutting. The cross sectional areas measured in the field agree with the NC
Piedmont Urban Regional Curve shown in Figure 3.

REFERENCE REACH ANALYSES
A tributary to Lake Jeanette near Greensboro was used as the reference reach for the upstream
reach because of its similar characteristics and stability. Duhart Creek near Charlotte was used as
a reference reach for the downstream reach. The reference reach values and ratios are shown on
the design table in the Appendix.
Figure 3. NC Piedmont Urban Regional Curve.
NATURAL CHANNEL DESIGN
The plan view of the natural channel design and tables of design parameters are shown in the
Appendix. The existing unstable channel in the upstream reach will be replaced with a new
meandering channel based on reference reach data. The new channel will be located in a forested
area of the floodplain farther away from the active mining operations than the current channel. A
minimum 50-ft riparian buffer will be established on both sides of the new channel. Following
construction and stabilization of the new channel, the existing channel will be plugged using root
wads and compacted clay and the entire area will be stabilized using native vegetation. The
downstream reach will be improved by excavating a floodplain bench at the bankfull stage,
installing boulder cross vanes, stabilizing eroding streambanks, and planting native riparian
vegetation.
Instream structures will include 24 boulder cross vanes and 100 root wads to protect
streambanks, maintain narrow channel width, enhance pool habitat, and provide grade control.
Root wads will be installed along the outside of meander bends to improve streambank stability
and fish habitat.
2
A minimum 50-ft riparian buffer will be established from the top of the streambank. Live
cuttings of black willow and silky dogwood will be staked along each meander bend. A
combination of native herbaceous and woody vegetation will be established in the riparian
buffer. Permanent seeding will include native grasses and woody vegetation. All permanent
planting will be in accordance with Guilford County Development Ordinance. Temporary
vegetation for erosion control will include annual rye (cool season) or millet (warm season)
depending on the construction schedule. The existing stable tree buffers will be maintained in the
current condition.
SEDIMENT TRANSPORT
A stable stream has the capacity to move its sediment load without aggrading or degrading over
time. The total load of sediment can be divided into bedload and suspended load. Suspended load
is normally composed of fine sand, silt and clay particles transported in the water column.
Bedload is transported by rolling, sliding, or hopping (saltating) along the bed. The movement of
sediment particles depends on the energy of the stream and their physical properties. Grain size
has a direct influence on the mobility of a given particle. Critical dimensionless shear stress (i*,;)
is a measure of the force required to move a given size particle resting on the channel bed. It can
be calculated for a gravel-bed stream using a surface and subsurface particle sample from a
representative riffle in the reach.
-0.872
T *c; = 0.0834 d` [Equation 11
dso
Where, ti*.; = critical dimensionless shear stress
d; = median particle size of riffle pavement (mm)
dso = median particle size of riffle subpavement (mm)
Critical dimensionless shear stress can then be used in the following equation to predict the
minimum water depth required to move the d84 of the pavement sample. The water depth is
calculated by:
1.651 *°` . d84
Dcr = [Equation 2]
Where, Dcr = water depth (ft)
i*C; = critical dimensionless shear stress
d84 = d84 of pavement sample (ft)
s = average channel slope (ft/ft)
Critical dimensionless shear stress was calculated based on a pavement/subpavement analysis
(see Appendix). The calculated critical dimensionless shear stress is 0.074 for the upstream reach
and 0.021 for the downstream reach.
3
To find the depth of water necessary to move the d84 of the pavement sample, Equation 2 was
used. The calculated critical depth was 0.6 ft for the upstream reach and 1.3 ft for the
downstream reach. At these water depths in the design channels, particles up to the d84 size
would be mobile. The mean bankfull depths for the proposed restoration design are 1.5 ft for the
upstream reach and 1.3 ft for the downstream reach; therefore, the design channels will be able to
transport the materials without aggrading. As a check, boundary shear stress was calculated for
the design dimension and compared with Shields Curve. The shear stress placed on the sediment
particles is the force that entrains and moves the particles, given by:
z = yRs [Equation 3]
Where, 1: = shear stress (lb/ft2)
y = specific gravity of water (62.41b/ft)
R = hydraulic radius (ft)
s = average channel slope (ft/ft)
If the shear stress is determined from the Shield's diagram to move a particle size that is
significantly larger or smaller than the d84 of the pavement, then the sinuosity may need to be
adjusted to alter the average channel slope. Boundary shear stress was calculated for the design
to be 0.21 lbs/ft2 for the upstream reach and 0.461bs/ft2 for the downstream reach. From Shields
diagram (Figure 4), the shear stresses in the upstream and downstream reaches will be able to
move particle sizes of approximately 13 and 27 mm, respectively.

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.miVwetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg_pdf.

Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

4. 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.
The nroiect will enhance stream stabilitv by protecting streambanks, providing erade control.
improving bed features, and reducing sediment concentrations in the stream. Stream impacts
during construction will be minimized by working from the streambank and limiting
ground disturbance to only those areas in the immediate vicinity of instream structures.

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
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/strm,gide.html.
I. 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.
