Dear Mr. Chapin:

RECEIVED
AUG 2 31996
ENVIROWENTAL SCIENCES
The Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave part of
SR 1101 Brushy Creek Road in Avery County when the necessary permits are obtained.
This project will require replacing several pipes carrying streams. The streams are
unnamed tributaries to Brushy Creek. Brushy Creek has the DEM classification, WS-III
Tr. Due to the proposed work, we are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit.
I am sending a joint application form, typical roadway section, straight line sketch with
the proposed erosion control, notes on pipe installation, general notes on erosion control;
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 when the necessary permits are obtained. If
additional information is required, please let me know. Your early review and '
consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Martin L. Bolick
District Engineer

PIPE INSTALLATION
1. Install erosion control devices. In streams, where
necessary, rock silt screens will be used and installed
prior to pipe replacement or any work being done to
7hannel.
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.
7. Remove rock silt screens as soon as possible after
veaetation is established. Prior to removal of rock silt
screens any accumulated silt must be removed.
