Dear Mr. Styles:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.02 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose
of minor road crossing at SR 1107 (Whiteside Cove Road), as you described in your application dated
11 October 1994. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 2732. This certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
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 and you may be required to send us a new application.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 30 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, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under Section 401
of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Johnson,
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
R. SAMUEL HUNT I I I
SECRETARY
F, p fin.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1107, Whiteside Cove Road, in Jackson County.
In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards and due to
the proximity of trout streams (Norton Mill Creek, Green Creek and their tributaries, DEM Class C-
Trout ) and replacement of pipe culverts, we are requesting authorization under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act.
I am sending a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion control and construction
limits at various sites along this project. In addition a typical section of the road, cross sections,
drawings for pipe culvert replacements, general notes and standards on erosion control measures and
a marked county map are enclosed.
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.

A request will be made on this project for a temporary encroachment in the Trout Water
Buffer Zone of Norton Mill Creek and Green Creek and I am asking Mr. Yowe and Mr. Ingle, Area
Roadside Environmental Engineer (NCDOT) to comment directly to me concerning the Trout Water
Buffer Zone Encroachment.
Also by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization to proceed under Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act from Division of Environmental Management.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required,
please advise. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.
Yours truly,
C. R. S les, f?.

TEA?oRARY SILT FENCE:
A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of a fill section to prevent off-
site sedimentation. It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at the bottom,
stretched and supported by steel posts. The silt fence reduces the water flow while
retaining the sediment. They may also be' used to divert water flow to protected
outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant rainfall to ensure there
effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall not be
installed across streams, ditches, or waterways.
AREAS OF USE:
• At toe of fill sections where sediment runoff can be stored and contained
inside the project limits.
DESIGN CRITERIA: i
Material With Wire:,, Without Wire
Fabric Type 3 Class A ` Type 3 Class B

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
41
A rock silt screen is a low-level dam structure to be used in streams below culvert
sites. Rock silt screens shall be used to trap sediment transported by running water
and shall be placed in the stream below the construction site within the right-of-
way or easement boundary. The rock silt screen utilizes class B stone lined with #5
or #57 stone to produce a ripple-effect in the stream to settle the larger sediment
particles transported in the stream from the construction site. The trapped sediment
shall be cleaned out before the device is removed from the stream.
