Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: Tim Smith, Permit Coordinator, Asheville Office U.S. Army Corps of Engineers FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program Original S3ggii -.: by J. R. L9nvf j DATE: February 24, 2003 SUBJECT: Review of 404 Application, Bear Creek Subdivision Pond, Anthony Creek, Avery County The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). The applicant proposes to impact 0.23 acres of wetlands by excavation and flooding to build a small entrance pond beside an existing driveway. This will facilitate using the existing road instead of impacting additional waters. The proposal indicates that 39.3 acres of deed restrictions will be placed around wetlands and streams within the subdivision. Three bottomless culverts will be used for road crossings within the subdivision. Brown and rainbow trout populations are present in the area. Based on the information provided by the applicant and our information on the range of trout in the project area, we do not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters supporting trout providing the following conditions are implemented: 1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off.-site sedimentation during construction. 2. Deed restrictions and/or conservation easements must be provided that protect stream and wetland buffers. These documents must maintain natural, Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 • Fax: (919) 715-7643 Bear Creek Subdivision Pond 2 February 24, 2003 undisturbed minimum twenty-five feet buffers. Additional undisturbed buffers should be provided where practicable to protect floodplains and provide stormwater management. 3. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained until project completion. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. 4. Native plant and shrub species should be used around the pond (excluding the dam) for stabilization and shade. 5. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish kill. We will not recommend a minimum flow release due to an existing lake downstream and the small size of the proposed pond. However, it may be beneficial to provide a cool water release and a minimum flow release to avoid riparian rights concerns later. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453. ,Thursday, July 10, 2003 9:15 AM McGill Asscciates 8283283870 ?r ti MCGILL ASSOCIATES, P.A. P.O.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources UJ r Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director > Division of Water Quality Ms. Doris Swor 7535 Timberidge Drive Newland, NC, 28657 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Dear Ms. Swor: May 27, 2003 DWQ# 03-0225 Avery County You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to flood or place permanent fill in 0.32 acre of wetlands/waters and 146 linear feet of streams, temporary fill in 145 linear feet of streams, and an arch culvert over 30 linear feet of streams in order to construct the Bear Creek Subdivision in Avery County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on February 28, 2003, additional correspondence received March 11 and May 8, 2003 and in subsequent discussions with staff of the DWQ Asheville Regional Office. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 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 maybe required to send us anew application for anew 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, 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 condition listed below: 1. 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 on the property. 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 ; 2. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15; 3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds [15A NCAC 4B .0024]; see NCDOT publication, Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (March 1997); 4. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly. Use of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality; N. C. Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 (919) 733-7015 Customer Service 1 800 623-7748 5.

The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401 /Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form. 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, 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.

Observations indicated that approximately 240 linear feet of Anthony Creek, unnamed tributaries to Anthony Creek, Bunt Creek and unnamed tributaries to Bunt Creek which are all classified C-trout waters, had been impacted and subsequently filled, and approximately .15 acres of riparian wetlands had also been filled. After reviewing our files, it has been determined that you did not obtain a 401 Water Quality Certification, required pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0500, prior to the impacts to State surface waters. In addition, these uncertified activities represent stream and wetland standards violations. Specifically, 15A NCAC 213 .0211(2) states that the preclusion of any of the following uses, including aquatic life propagation, biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation on either a short term or long term basis will be considered to be violating a water quality standard and 15A NCAC 2B .0231 (a) states that removal of any of the following uses shall violate Wetland Standards (1) Storm and flood water storage.... (2) Hydrologic functions including groundwater discharge that contributes to maintain dry weather streamflow.... (3) Filtration or storage of sediments, nutrients, toxic substances or other pollutants....

(6) Habitat for the propagation of resident wetland-dependent wildlife species, including mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians for breeding, nesting, cover, travel corridors and food. Also, 15A NCAC 213 .0231 (b) (6) requires that the populations of wetland flora and fauna be maintained to protect the biological ';integrity of the wetland. Staff of the Division's Asheville Regional Office is considering sending a recommendation for enforcement action to the Division Director for the violations listed above. If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present, please respond in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of this Notice. Included in your response, should be an explanation of actions you plan to take to mitigate the existing violations and how you will minimize any future impacts or damages to Anthony Creek and its tributaries, Bunt Creek and its tributaries and adjacent wetlands. Please be aware that you may be subject to enforcement actions with the possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per violation or other actions as deemed appropriate. The Division of Water Quality is in receipt of and is currently reviewing your application for Water Quality Certification. Since the application did not list all of the impacts, you will need to modify the application to include all impacts to streams and wetlands. Until we receive your response and these violations are resolved, we are placing you project on hold for our processing purposes due to incomplete information, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0507 (h).

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/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.

Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No if yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ? No ? If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA fi approval letter. Yes F-1 No X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown'on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify T`2out 13, U r-V tnz. )? Yes ? No, ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers.
