Re: Install Gabion Baskets at Toe of R.H. Shoulder on NC 18
.10 Mi. North of SR 1414 in Alleghany County, NC.
Dear Mr. Jolly:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, District I
Maintenance plans to install Gabion Baskets at the toe of
the right shoulder and repair the shoulder section on NC 18
.10 Mi. North of SR 1414 in Alleghany County. This is a
request for a 404 Permit due to the need to re--establish the
shoulder which has slid off causing a hazard to the
traveling public. This work is adjacent to a small unnamed
stream which is a tributary to Little River.
We are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit (#3 Maintenance)
from your agency.
I am sending a sketch with the proposed erosion control plan
along with a marked county map.
By copy of this letter I am asking Mr. Joseph Mickey, Jr.,
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission District
Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning
the 404 Nationwide Permit Request.
This work does not appear to involve DEHNR Trout Waters.
Also by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization
to proceed under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act from the
Division of Environmental Management.

SAM HUNT
SECRETARY
I
If further information is required, please let me know.
Your early review and consideration will be greatly
appreciated.

IN REPLY REFER TO
Regulatory Branch
Action ID. 199304739 and Nationwide Permit No. 13 (Bank Stabilization)
North Carolina Department
of Transportation
Division of Highways
ATTN: Mr. W. O. Atkins
District Engineer
Post Office Box 558
Elkin, North Carolina 28621
Dear Mr. Atkins:
Reference is made to your letter of September 15, 1993, regarding your
plans to discharge dredged/fill material into the waters/wetlands of Moccasin
Creek, associated with the use of gabion baskets for bank stabilization on
NC 18, Blevins Crossroads, Alleghany County, North Carolina. Reference is
also made to Mr. Joe Mickey's letter of September 17, 1993, in which the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission expressed no objections to the planned
road improvements provided that:
a. No heavy equipment is operated in the live streams in order to
minimize sedimentation and prevent introduction of other pollutants.
b. Erosion control measures should be implemented where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for bank stabilization
activities provided:
a. No material is placed in excess of the minimum needed for erosion
protection;
b. The bank stabilization activity is less than 500 feet in length;
C. The activity will not exceed an average of one cubic yard per running
foot placed along the bank below the plane of the ordinary high water mark or
the high tide line;

-2-
d. No material is placed in any special aquatic site, including wetlands;
e. No material is of the type or is placed in any location or in any
manner so as to impair surface water flow into or out of any wetlands area;
f. No material is placed in a manner that will be eroded by normal or
expected high flows; and
g. The activity is part of a single and complete project.
Special conditions of this permit state that before discharging dredged
or fill material into waters of the United States occurring within the
twenty-five mountain counties of North Carolina that contain trout waters,
the applicant will obtain approval from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource
Commission. Review of the information you have provided, and the comments
submitted by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, reveals that
your proposed work is authorized by NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions. This NWP does not relieve you of the
responsibility to obtain any required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity
complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during
the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is
modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and
conditions of the NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under
construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will
remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the
date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary
authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend or
revoke the authorization.
Please be reminded that no excavated or fill materials may be placed in
any waters or wetland areas without prior Federal permit authorization. Please
contact this office for any future proposed expansion that may propose impacts
to any water or wetland areas subject to Department of the Army permitting
authority.
