4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
Affected property's riverfront is past outside of river's sharp bend, subjecting to extreme high flow elevation and river flow (velocity), resulting in aggressive streambank erosion. This
occurs when the TVA opens the Lake Chatuge Dam. Due to extreme past wet winter, Lake Chatuge is at a record high elevation. TVA has been keeping dam gate open extensively,
especially 24/7 on day(s) when rain occur. Subject property's river bank already eroded (lost) about two (2) feet of land. Current streambank has extensive scouring of about one foot
deeper than main river bottom and at least one foot into/under overhanging bank. Project involve moving large native rocks typically one foot to two feet diameters. Rocks are from old,
abandoned logging railroad bed on same property. Hence, rocks are angular and generally well -mixed. Smallest is about four inches; largest about three feet. Hence, due to anticipated
TVA's keeping dam gate open for rest of summer, expeditious streambank restoration action is critical.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
4d. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location of the project site. (for DWR)

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.1
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
300
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
To stabilize current streambank along Hiwassee River from further erosion, and restore/reclaim lost streambank land with large boulder rocks.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Remove boulder rocks from abandoned logging railroad bed within existing property using hand axe and 5-foot wrecking/levering bar. Rocks falls out easily as abandoned railroad bed
is not filled, but full of cavities. Only top cover has soil material of about 4 to 6 inches depth. Roll rock out one at a time onto 2-wheel hand truck and transport to loading location, closer
to river. Use owner's utility -size Kubota tractor with front loader to roll -drop boulder rocks into loader bucker at loading location. Transport and place boulder rocks along entire
property's river bank.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
r Yes r No
7b. If yes, explain.
1 - Immediately place boulder rocks about 50 feet along property's upstream bank. This will mitigate severe streambank erosion since this portion of property is on the last leg of the
sharp bend in river, external side. Aggressive water flow is pushing into and under the bank. Under -scoured land is ready to fall into river.
2 - Beyond the first 50-foot portion of property, river water flows fairly straight. Place boulder rocks on remaining 200 feet along property's river bank upon receipt of all necessary
approvals and my back condition allows.
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?
Section 404 permit and possibly E&CS permit (?).

Miscellaneous
Comments
Expeditious reviewwill be greatly appreciated. It appears the TVA will have the dam opened for significant amount of times throughout the summer of 2020, as a minimum if not into the
Fall season. If streambank placement project is not approved, severe erosion of streambank's sediment into the river will continue to occur unabated.
Miscellaneous attachments not previously requested.

The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at
1:12,000.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Clay County, North Carolina
Survey Area Data: Version 15, Sep 16, 2019
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Mar 20, 2015—Oct

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

HV RR 1913 ~1915 1919*Andrews, NC Hayesville, NC
* 1919 acquired by the Carolina & Georgia Railroad.
In 1913, Clay and Cherokee counties each voted $75,000 for the construction of a railroad from
Andrews via Marble down the Hiwassee River to Hayesville, crossing Peach Tree and Hiwassee at the
Clay County line. It was 35 miles long, standard gauge, etc., and was operated by electricity from a
power plant to be erected on Hiwassee River. A question arose as to the legality of the vote, and the
company was enjoined from proceeding further in securing aid from either county. J. Q. Barker was
President, and Samuel Cover, Treasurer, and D. S. Russell, Secretary.
