Dear Mr. Johnson,
401 ISSUED
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1461 Crawford Cemetery Road, Jackson
County. In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards
and due to crossing a small branch and replacement of pipe culverts we are requesting
authorization under Section 404 of the Clear Water Act. The branch being a tributary to a Class
C Trout Water. Enclosed is a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion Control and
Construction Limits at various sites along this project. In addition a Typical Section for the road,
Cross Section, and Drawings for pipe replacements, general notes and standards on Erosion
Control measures and a marked County Map are enclosed. We propose to install the new pipe
slightly below the existing streambed elevation where bed rock is not encountered to minimize
impact to Wildlife habitat and allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as
physically possible.
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and
erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to
ensure sedimentation and erosion controls are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices
are not functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with better devices. The silt
fences and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to pipe construction and will remain
in place until the project is stabilized.
By copy of this letter I am asking Mr. David Yowe, North Carolina Resources
Commission, District Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide permit request.

Mr. Bob Johnson

please advise. Your early review and consideration willbe appreciated.
