Dear Mr. Chapin:
401 ISSUED
R. SAMUEL HUNT Ill
SFCRFTARY
RECEIVED
'JAN 181995
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
BRANCH
The Department of Transportation is requesting permission to extend a 36 inch pipe on
SR 1136 Clark's Creek Road in Watauga County. The original length of pipe is
inadequate and the roadway is breaking off at the outlet end of the pipe. The stream is an
unnamed tributary to Clark Creek. Clark Creek has the DEM classification C. Due to the
proposed work, we are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit.
I am sending a joint application form, a sketch with the proposed erosion control, notes
on pipe installation, and a marked county map.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Ms. Stephanie Goudreau, Mt. Region Biologist
Coordinator to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting a 401 Certification from the Division of
Environmental Management for this project.
We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If additional information is
required, please let me know. Your early review and consideration will be greatly
appreciated.
Yours truly,
f
oger Cates, P.E.
District Engineer

PIPE INSTALLATION
1. Install erosion control devices. In streams, where
necessary, rock silt screens will be used.
2. Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much
as possible, material and sediment from entering a stream
and/or escaping from project.
3. Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit,
as much as possible, material and sediment from entering
a stream and/or escaping from project. Where possible,
new grade will be below existing stream bed. If needed,
bedding material will be clean stone.
4. Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5. Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of
pipe. Also complete installation of erosion control
measures and perform maintenance as needed on existing
measures.
6. Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
