P.O. Box 9278
Asheville, NC, 28815
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Messrs. Duckett and Powell:
October 3, 2002
DWQ# 02-1340
Buncombe County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 50 linear feet of Haw Creek, and to
remove a dam, culvert and rip-rap from 178 linear feet of Haw Creek in order to construct a road crossing at the Applewood
Development in Buncombe County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on August 22,
2002. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3375, which can be viewed on our web site at htta://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you
to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get
any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total wetland and/or stream fills for this project (now or in the future) including future phases
of this subdivision exceed one acre or 150 linear feet of perennial streams, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The culvert must be designed, constructed and placed to allow aquatic life passage;
2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or
areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this
letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from
the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands .
3. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401
Certification has been completed.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, Mail Service Center 6714,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Mike Parker in DWQ's Asheville Regional Office at 828-251-6208 or Cyndi Karoly in the
Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721. _

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.
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 9
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/newetlands/stm-igide.html.
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.
SGG a%AtKeU41'5.
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.htm. If use of

ATTACHMENT
VIII Mitigation:
To mitigate for the existing violations on Haw Creek in Asheville, North Carolina.
at the Applewood Development, we propose the following:
1.) All rip rap will be removed from the creek with the exception of the
existing boulders at the outlets of the 96" and 36" pipes. Boulders will
be used with filter fabric at the inlet end of the 96" pipe and at the outlet
end of the existing dual 36" pipes at the north property line. We will
