Re: PCN Submittal for Big Horse Creek Stabilization at Lansing Fishing Pier Site
Dear Ms. Homewood,
The NC Wildlife Resources Commission completed construction of a Universally Accessible fishing pier on Big
Horse Creek in 2016. This project coincided with stream restoration work and greenway development by others.
Since its completion, there have been numerous flood events on Big Horse Creek. There has also been notable foot
traffic up and down the left bank upstream of the pier site by anglers who still prefer to approach the fishing hole
from the bank rather that the structure. These events and activities have eroded a section of stream bank which has
exposed the concrete slab footing of the pier structure. The front edge of the footing is being undermined. Further
flooding and scour threaten the integrity and safety of this structure unless work is done to stabilize the eroding bank
at this location. I have met at the site with Tom Davis of Foggy Mountain Nursery who was involved with the
earlier stream restoration & enhancement work on Big Horse Creek. NCWRC will have Foggy Mountain Nursery
perform the work described in the attached plans. I have been given agent authorization by the Town of Lansing to
obtain any necessary permits, and I will work with Tom to monitor construction.
As we discussed earlier, a written notification for 401 General Water Quality Certification 4134 (in conjunction with
USACE NWP-13) will be required to perform this work due to the HQW classification of Big Horse Creek.
The PCN for this project is being submitted to NCDEQ-DWR and USACE electronically. The package includes the
permit drawing set along with supporting documentation and existing condition photos.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Best regards,

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
NCWRC installed a universally accessible fishing platform on a stocked section of Big Horse Creek in 2016. The platform construction took place following completion of a stream
restoration project built by Foggy Mountain Nursery. Since then, there have been a high number of flood events in the region that have impacted Big Horse Creek. The frequent
flooding and foot traffic on the left bank upstream of the fishing platform resulted in erosion which has exposed a portion of the slab footing of the fishing platform that was previously
embedded in the bank. Continued scour threatens the structural integrity of the fishing platform which has been temporarily closed until the problem can be addressed by installing rock
toe and a rock vane structure with bank shaping & stabilization practices.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
A short single arm vane Will be installed upstream of the bank erosion using suitable rock. 30LF of rock sill will be installed at the toe of the eroded bank to the upstream edge of the
exposed footing. Cobble or graded stone mix will be used to backfill behind the sill and create a winged deflector. These two elements will help reduce near bank stress and protect the
bank from erosion. Small boulder will also be placed to protect the downstream corner of the exposed footing. The eroded stream bank will be laid back at 2:1, seeded and covered with
coir matting. Livestakes will be planted along the repaired bank in the fall. No stream crossings or equipment tracking in the stream will be necessary to perform this work.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

1. Avoidance and Minimization
31. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Work will use natural channel design practices to repair bank erosion and scour that could impact the integrity of an accessible fishing platform. Foot
traffic and flood events have eroded the stream bank upstream of the fishing platform. This project will restore and stabilize the bank to minimize
further soil loss and tp protect the structure.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Work will be staged from above OHWM (no equipment tracks in the stream). Sediment fence to be installed around stockpile area. No removal of
trees. Slopes of streambanks will be eased and stabilized with native seed & coir matting. Livestakes to be installed after November.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
No loss of aquatic resources resulting from this project. Length of stream impact is below DWR threshold for mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
If no, explain why:
Project site is not located in an area covered by NC Riparian Buffer rules
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15ANCAC 02H .1003(2)?

NC Wildlife Resources Commission plans to repair erosion at Lansing Park
Wesley Barker
Pier/Pedestrian Bridge. Creek bank will be restored to original condition with no
new disturbance of the creek banks. Repair will also correct flow of water away
from bridge platform to prohibit future erosion.
Engineering plans submitted by NC Wildlife Commission. A no -rise certificate will
not be needed as no additional changes to the creek bank will be incurred. Spoke
with Jeff Ferguson, NC Wildlife Engineering about project to confirm no change in
creek bank or water flow.

No concerns for project mediated impacts to federally protected species within the action area. There
are 2016 records of hellbender at this site. While this population is not currently protected under the
ESA, incorporating proactive conservation measures on its behalf may preclude to list it in the
future. We suggest coordination with our office and Commission biologists (Andrea Leslie, Lori Williams,
et al.) prior to instream activities so that staff may relocate any hellbenders and other animals out of
harms way. Please bear in mind that the pandemic has significantly restricted our ability to do any kind
of fieldwork. Hopefully those restrictions will be lifted in time for project construction. I wonder if this
is a good opportunity to install additional hellbender shelter habitat? Just a thought. I will defer to you
and your colleagues about that since they have experience with hellbenders at this site.
We appreciate the proposed use of biodegradeable coir fiber matting to accommodate erosion control
needs. To the extent that is feasible, we encourage planting, live -staking of herbaceous and deep
rooting woody vegetation in disturbed areas in the interest of providing long-term bank stability, shade,
and riparian cover habitat. I wonder if Foggy Mtn Nursery would be willing to help out with that since
they were involved with the original design/construction. I can help with plantings if our fieldwork
restrictions are lifted in time.
