Proposal is to rebuild the dam replace the riser & barrel in the existing locations, and put in a 19' head wall w/75' ri , p-rap energy dissipator. The wetland impacts below the dam .411 ac) are to provide working area for reconstruction of the dam. (Post construction restoration in some of this area could minimiz e permanent impacts) The area west tithe boat ramp, #1W_ provides significant WL funtions. As disc ussed at the site meeting, there is insufficient information provided to justly this fill.

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 majority of the impacts, the excavation and backfill required to install the new water control structures and culvert through the dam will be only temporary. The new intake structure although somewhat larger, will be constructed on the exact location of the old structure The ? wetlands installation of Page 5 of 9 new outlet structure and riprap apron are required because of the larger outlet culvert installed to upgrade the dam to current North Carolina dam safety requirements The riprap apron was designed in accordance with criteria from the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. 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/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 6 of 9 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/ww/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: IX. Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only) Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state/local) land? Yes X 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 X No ? If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No X X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only) 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 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? Yes ? No X If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Page 7 of 9 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. Zone* Impact (square feet Multiplier Required Mitigation 1 3 2 1.5 Total * Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0242 or .0260. XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. The proposed project will replace approximately 65 feet of failing 18" CMP outlet pipe through the Hutaff Lake Dam with 110 feet of new 48" RCP. The pipe will be replaced by excavation and backfilling along the alignment of the existing pipe. Considering the excavation. and room for access, equipment and stockpiles, the entire project should disturb about 2 acres. About 0.6 acres of this area is within the lake and will be inundated upon reimpoundment. Only about 0.2 acre outside the existing dam and lake will be permanently disturbed and lost to construction. Tunnelling alternatives were considered but rejected due to cost. Sediment entering the stream as a result of the construction will be minimized by )silt fencing wherever practical; 2)use of temporary seeding; 3)seeding, mulching, placing erosion matting, and establishing Permanent vegetation on disturbed areas as soon as possible following construction; and 4)replacing the pipe as quickly as possible to minimize the period of disturbance. XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.

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.
