GARRETT JR. SECRETARY 401188 2 ?' 1°19 The Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave of SR 1128 Firescald Branch Road in Avery County when the necessary permits are obtained. This project will require replacing two pipes which carry small springs into an unnamed tributary to Henson Creek. Henson Creek has the DEM classification, WS-111 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, cross sections of proposed encroachments in trout water buffer zone, and a marked county map. By copy of this letter, I am requesting Ms. Stephanie Gaudreau, Mt. Region Biologist Coordinator to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request. Since a request will be made for a temporary encroachment in the trout water buffer zone, I am also requesting Ms. Goudreau to comment directly to me concerning the encroachment. 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 perform this work as soon as possible. If additional information is required, please let me know. Your early review and consideration will be greatly appreciated Yours ruly, '11W4- M. c1* ,1 i t .

Where slope protection treatment is required, Section 868 and Section 1042 of the.1990 Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures will be followed. Any material obtained from the project must be clean before being placed. Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as follows: Temporary Silt Basins shall be installed before clearing and grubbing begins. Silt Fences and Temporary Silt Ditches shall be installed after clearing and before grading. Temporary Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as soon as ditchline is established. Pipe Outlet and Inlet Protection will be done as soon as the pipe is installed. Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be implemented as soon as practical. PIPE INSTALLATION ?. Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt screens will be used and installed prior co pipe replacement or any work being done to 7hannel. Z. 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 vegetation is established. Prior to removal of rock silt screens any accumulated silt must be removed. 1 s ? ? r ?,?, N ?,?' d-b' •QFes xr ? - wp g ' ? t. { t L ? P 4f I SQ ?? A8 I ??.???v???h,r I ?? ?!
