Subject: US 74 Widening From 1-40 to SR 3136
Buncombe County
State Project DOT No. 8.1841701, TIP #R-2306
The Division of Environmental Management (DEM) has reviewed several proposals
from DOT that would either impact the B.K. Miller property or relocate Gashes Creek
as a result of the widening project. DEM acknowledges the difficulty in resolving
historic and environmental conflicts and appreciates the effort DOT has expended in
this matter.
DEM was informed on October 20, 1994 that the property adjacent to the B.K. Miller
property is historic and will require a Section 4(f) document. It is DEM's
understanding that the Miller property is historic due to the architectural nature of the
building and not the physical setting itself. The Miller house would remain standing
and habitable should the widening occur on the Miller property. Several power-line
topped hemlock and white pine trees would be taken but there would be no additional
residential relocatees nor would Gashes Creek be impacted if the widening occurred
on the Miller property.
DEM surveyed Gashes Creek in May 1994. A memorandum was written to document
the site visit. This information has been provided to you and FHWA. Gashes Creek is
tributary to a trout stream. The creek has a tree canopy that helps lower water
temperatures, and increase dissolved oxygen. The vegetation acts to stabilize the
stream banks to reduce erosion. The macrobenthos is diverse enough to rate the
creek good-fair and includes pollution intolerant taxa. The substrate has very little silt
and equal amounts of boulder, rubble, gravel and sand. This substrate composition
would be very difficult for DOT to reproduce and the macrobenthos would experience
a significant recolonization lag time.

DOT' s October 20, 1994 proposal is significantly better than the first proposal to
culvert 925 feet of Gashes Creek. However, we believe that DOT has a practicable
alternative that does not impact the creek. Based on a thorough review of the
proposed alternatives, please be aware that DEM would proceed toward denial of the
401 Water Quality Certification should DOT submit an application for the proposed
project which significantly impacts water quality in Gashes Creek.
Questions regarding the 401 Certification should be directed to John Dorney in DEM's
Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch.

MEMORANDUM JAN 6 1996
TO: DJohn R. Parker, Jr., ivision of Coastal Management Coordinator F?/RONA.?NrAl3CoNaFB
Dept. of Environment, Health, & Natural Resources
FROM: Richard B. Hamilton, Assistant Director
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commissio
DATE: January 8, 1996
SUBJECT: Action No. 199402123, North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
proposed widening of US 74 between I-40 and SR 2776, Buncombe County, North
Carolina, TIP No. R-2306A-B.
This memorandum responds to a request from your office for our concerns regarding the proposed fill
in waters and wetlands associated with the subject highway widening. The North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) has reviewed the proposed project, and our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the Clean water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). By copy of these
comments, we are providing our recommendations to the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) regarding the attending 401 Water Quality Certification.
The proposed work involves widening of an existing highway to meet existing and future traffic
demands. While we prefer the improvement of existing highways over construction of new ones, we
continue to be concerned about unresolved issues of avoidance of stream channel impacts in Gashes Creek,
a tributary to Designated Public Mountain Trout Waters (DPMTW). In addition to other DPMTW
impacts, the permit application proposes to channelize approximately 1,100 feet of Gashes Creek,
including 800 feet of stream channel that would be filled to avoid a row of trees on a historic property on
the opposite side of US 74. The NCDOT has been unwilling to fully evaluate an alignment alternative that
would avoid extensive culverting or relocation of Gashes Creek, citing possible conflicts with historic
resources. A full evaluation of avoidance alternatives is prerequisite to consideration of measures to
minimize and compensate losses to waters and wetlands. It is the policy of the NCWRC that impacts to
wetlands be avoided. Non-wetland and non-riparian alternatives should be examined during project design.
The NCWRC will recommend mitigation of wetland losses only where such losses cannot be avoided.
Therefore, we recommend that no 404 permit be issued by the Corps of Engineers for this project until an
alignment alternative that avoids extensive channel modification of Gashes Creek has been fully evaluated.
.Gashes Creek is a tributary to the SNvannanoa River, which is managed as Hatchery Supported
DPMTW. Fisheries staff of the NCWRC have surveyed fisheries resources in the project area in
cooperation with Corps of Engineers personnel. Late summer fish samples found no trout in the segment of
stream to be directly impacted by the project. However, this stream segment contained juvenile and adult
redbreast sunfish and approximately 10 nongame fish species. Trout have been reported in the past from
Gashes Creek and may seasonally occur in the project area. The stream segment proposed for relocation is

Act. ID 199402123 memo Page 2 1/9/96
one of the few remaining undisturbed portions of Gashes Creek, flowing parallel to US 74 into Blue Ridge
Parkway property. Loss of this stream segment would not only impair the streams ability to support
gamefish but would adversely affect other uses, including invertebrate food production, flood control,
buffering of sedimentation and chemical impacts, and shading of a trout water tributary. Channelization
will also reduce stability of stream banks below the site, particularly because stormwater dynamics in the
Gashes Creek watershed have been altered in recent years by mismanaged storm flow from areas of
development.
Following our survey of Gashes Crcek, we met with representatives of the NCDOT, Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), resources agencies, and the owner of the historic property across US 74 from the
subject stream segment. At that time, -vt•c explained our concerns regarding fisheries and water quality
values and the need to evaluate an avoidance alternative. In subsequent written comment to NCDOT
(David L. Yow, December 9, 1994) we reiterated our recommendation that an avoidance alternative be
developed and subjected to a full "4f' evaluation to compare impacts to natural and historical resources.
The Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) document was circulated in July of 1995, including a
"programmatic 4f' finding that determined only that no impact to the historic property would occur if it
was avoided. The document made no assessment of impacts to historic resources that would occur if fill
activities in Gashes Creek were avoided, and full comparison of two alternatives was not made. Symmetric
widening, suggested in our earlier letter as a possible method to minimize impacts on both resources, was
not considered in the document, nor did the document consider visual and noise impacts that would occur
on the historic property from widening US 74 regardless of final roadway alignment. We believe that the
NCDOT and FHWA evaluation of historic property impacts is incomplete, and that alternatives to avoid
channelization of Gashes Creek have not been adequately evaluated. We also maintain that the historic
property will be impacted by any expansion of transportation facilities, and that noise and visual impacts to
historic properties could be more readily mitigated than could impacts to surface waters. Our written
response to the FONSI (David R. Cox, August 22, 1995) again recommended a full evaluation of
avoidance alternatives and warned against fragmenting of the project during permitting.
Disregarding our recommendations, the NCDOT submitted 404 and 401 applications for a portion of
the highway project that contained impacts to Gashes Creek but omitted impacts to Gap Creek and
unnamed DPMTW tributaries on the eastern portion of the project. No evaluation of avoidance
alternatives was included. The Corps of Engineers determined that the 404 application was incomplete,
and our recommendation to the DEM (David L. Yow, September 14, 1995) concurred with the Corps
finding and recommended against acceptance of the 401 application. We subsequently recommended
approval a Nationwide 404 pennit for the NCDOT to conduct exploratory geotechnical activities in the
project area.
The present public notice has been modified to include the entire highway project as documented
under the National Environmental Policy Act. However, until the NCDOT and FHWA have completed a
full comparative evaluation of impacts to historic and natural resources from avoidance alternatives, we
cannot recommend approval of permits for the project.
In addition to unresolved avoidance concerns discussed above, we offer the following
recommendations regarding other project impacts. Pending resolution of avoidance issues, the following
conditions should be placed on any permits issued for the project:
We are concerned that no compensatory mitigation is proposed for trout stream segments and
adjacent shrub wetlands lost during culvert extensions and channel modifications. We
recommend that the NCDOT locate, acquire, and restore stream channel segments within the
Swannanoa River and Cane Creek watersheds to compensate unavoidable loss of function in
trout waters on the project site. Ratio of mitigation to impact will be determined by relative
quality of habitats involved. Biologists of the NCWRC will be available to participate in
mitigation area planning. No 404 permit should be issued until such compensatory mitigation
has been proposed.
Act. ID 199402123 memo Page 3
1/9/96
Regarding relocation of Gashes Creek on Blue Ridge Parkway property, the public notice
states that "three meanders would be removed" and that "the existing 15-foot wide channel
would be replaced by a 20-foot wide channel with riprap banks." Such practices are in direct
and explicit contradiction to guidelines for stream relocation cooperatively developed by the
NCWRC, DEM, and NCDOT. The reconstructed stream channel should resemble the
existing channel in length, width, depth, substrate, and curvature, and natural materials, not
riprap, should be employed to reconstruct new stream banks. The proposed ditch would
remove existing use of the stream segment as habitat for adult gamefish and would represent a
significant and avoidable impact on National Park Service lands. Retaining wall techniques
now proposed at the historic site upstream should be employed on this site also.
Impacts to DPMTW tributaries in the Cane Creek watershed (approximately 1,600 feet)
should be further minimized by alignment of culverts to conform with existing stream
channels (sites 5 and 6). As in item 1 above, the proposed riprap ditches for relocated stream
channels should not be permitted, except where necessary to stabilize banks at culvert
outfalls.
4. All culverts should be placed below the grade of the existing stream channel to allow
establishment of natural substrate in culvert barrels.
No soil disturbing activities within 25 feet of surface waters should occur between January I
and April 15 to avoid possible impacts on trout reproduction.
All disturbed soils within 25 feet of surface waters should be stabilized within 15 working
days on each site of buffer zone encroachment.
Stringent erosion and sedimentation control measures should be employed at all times during
construction. Such measures should account for expected rainfall events and should be
regularly maintained. Significant increases in sediment deposits or turbidity in downstream
trout waters will be considered by the NCWRC as a violation of permit conditions.
Thank you for the ongoing opportunity to provide input in the early planning stages for this project.
We appreciate the efforts of NCDOT engineering staff to develop innovative methods to minimize project
impacts, but we encourage the NCDOT and FHWA to focus efforts on addressing our concerns regarding
impact avoidance. We believe that the reluctance to address explicitly stated agency recommendations has
resulted in significant increases in time and monetary costs of this project, both for the NCDOT and for
resource agencies. If we can further assist your office, please contact Stephanie Goudreau, Mountain
Region Coordinator, Habitat Conservation Program, at [phone].

Subject: Application for Water Quality Certification
Buncomb: County
DEM # 9-; 1201, COE # 199402123
DOT # R 2 306
1:3 FE F11
Your application for a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Clean
Water Act was received )y the Division on 14 December 1995. The activity for which the
Certification is sought is to relocate 1100 linear feet of stream channel of Gashes Creek and
fill 0.05 acres of wetlanc to facilitate widening of 6.7 miles of US 7-1 between I-40 and SR
2776. A Water Quality Certification is a determination by the Division that the activity for
which the federal penni: or license is sought is not expected to result in a violation of state
water quality standards or the waters of the state.
After several tho-ough, on-site inspections of your property, my staff has determined
that existing uses are present in the waters for which you have requested a certification.
These uses include aqua::c life habitat. As provided by 15A NCAC 2B .0109, the 404(b)(1)
Guidelines are used as g.iidance in determining if a proposed project will remove the existing
uses of a water. In acce-dance with these guidelines, the Division has determined that you
have not demonstrated t'? at practicable alternatives do not exist for your project since there
has been no demonstrati,?n that the proposed project cannot be constructed in an upland area.
Namely, we believe tha::he road could be widened toward the historic property (sheet 9 of
28 in permit application .sated 1 November 1995) rather than into Gashes Creek. Also

accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0504(e), I have determined that the 401 Water Qualit\-
Certification for this project shall be denied.
If this denial is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing
upon written request within sixty (60) days following receipt of this denial. This request
must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447.
Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made, this denial shall be final anc
binding. Finally, we are available to further discuss modification to your proposal whicl
would answer our objections and allow issuance of a 401 Certification.
If you have any questions concerning this denial, please contact Mr. John Dornev in
the Water Quality Planning Branch of this Division at [phone].

Subject: FONSI for US 74 Widening, Buncombe County
State Project DOT No. 8.1841702, TIP # R-2306
DEHNR # 96-0056, DEM WQ # 11008
The subject document has been reviewed by this office. The Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality
Certification for activities which impact waters of the state including wetlands. The project as
proposed would not impact wetlands. There will be several stream impacts by crossings and
a relocation of 800 feet of Gashes Creek. DEM offers the following comments on the FONSI:
A) DEM continues to believe that there is a practicable alternative to impacting Gashes
Creek, namely to widen into the B.K. Miller property. We believe that this alternative is
less environmentally damaging, significantly less costly and would not impact the
historical value of the property.
B) There is not enough information in the document regarding the stream relocations to
concur with a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). Detailed site specific stream
relocation plans that include the stream pre-construction and post-construction
gradient, width, depth, sinuosity, substrate, pools, riffles, pool-to-riffle ratio, undercut
banks, presence of woody debris, bar-to-bar distances, width of the floodplain, width of
buffer zones, construction timing, measures taken to be compliant with water quality
standards (particularly turbidity and temperature), stream cover, velocity, water depth at
7Q10 conditions (low flow) and location and description of woody vegetation must be
included in the document or in the application for the permit.
DEM does not concur with the FONSI. Please be advised that this review of the FONSI by
DEM does not preclude the denial of a 401 Certification upon application if wetland or water
impacts have not been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Questions
regarding the 401 Certification should be directed to Eric Galamb in DEM's Environmental
Sciences Branch at 733-1786.

The subject document has been reviewed by this office. The Division of
Environmental Management is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water
Quality Certification for activities which impact of waters of the state including
wetlands. The subject project may impact 0.23 acres of wetlands and significant (925
feet) stream rechannelization.
DOT should follow DOT's Stream Relocation/Channelization Guidelines. DEM is still
evaluating the channelization of Gashes Creek and therefore is not able to give an
endorsement of the document.
Since the highway will be widened in water supply areas, DEM requests that type A
sediment and erosion control measures be implemented. Curb and gutter quickly
conveys water to streams. In the event of a spill, the contaminants could enter a
water supply stream before emergency support staff could contain the spill.
Therefore, DEM requests that the type A sediment basins be converted into
hazardous spill catch basins after project completion.
The 401 Water Quality Certification could be denied if impacts to wetlands and waters
are not avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
Questions regarding the 401 Certification should be directed to Eric Galamb in DEM's
Water Quality Planning Branch.

The fight is not over yet but the enemy has changed its spots.
DOT has proposed a new construction technique where they could
move the creek channel over to make room for the road but the
creek would not be in a pipe or in a deep hole but there would
be enough room to plant the streamside with trees and shrubs.
Eric believes (probably correctly) that DOT has a practicable
alternative (not impact the creek but rather impact the historic
property). Nothing is in writing yet, DOT will apply soon. I
think the new plan will probably protect the aquatic life uses
of the stream. Rene Gledhill-Earley should be very happy! I'll
circulate the revised plan when we receive it.

(NCDOT) supplemental comments on construction
alternatives to avoid impacts on the B. K. Miller
property, US 74 widening from I-40 to SR 3136,
Buncombe County, North Carolina, TIP Project No.
R-2306.
Dear Mr. Kendig:
This letter responds to your November 7, 1994 request
for our review of an alignment alternative to avoid
construction impacts on the subject property. The proposed
alignment would avoid placing an extensive culvert in Gashes
Creek but would involve relocation of a segment of the
stream into an artificial open channel. The N. C. Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC) has been involved in several
phases of review on this project, and we have discussed
construction alternatives with the NCDOT, the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA), the owner of the B. K. Miller
property, and other review agencies. Field investigations
have been conducted to assess the quality of aquatic habitat
and fishery resources. Our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-
667d).
The newly proposed alignment involves construction of
an artificial channel for a segment of Gashes Creek, which
would be diverted to allow the highway facility to
completely avoid direct physical taking of the Miller
property. A soil-nail retaining wall would be used to
T. Kendig re. US 74 Page 2 December 9, 1994
attempt to minimize impacts on forest habitat on the south
side of Gashes Creek.
We appreciate your efforts to develop an innovative
mitigation plan to compensate for the loss of the existing
channel segment. The proposed open channel relocation, in
conjunction with NCDOT acquisition and protection of nearby
riparian habitat, may provide a foundation for compensatory
mitigation for unavoidable loss of the affected stream
channel segment. However, we maintain that the relocation
of the stream channel can be avoided by widening the highway
onto the margin of the Miller property.
Because the Miller property receives protection as a
cultural resource under FHWA 114f" procedures, a formal
review process will be required to evaluate construction
alternatives if the property is negatively affected. Any
practicable construction alternative that avoids Gashes
Creek would require removal of a row of hemlock trees on the
Miller property boundary near the existing highway. It is
possible that noise levels would be slightly higher than
those expected from a multilane highway with an intervening
hedge.

NCWRC as Hatchery Supported Public
It has historically supported trout
recent NCWRC survey of the impacted
juvenile redbreast sunfish, as well
species.
While the NCWRC recognizes that Gashes Creek has been
impacted by development and agricultural practices in the
watershed, we feel that the historic setting of the Miller
property has been similarly degraded. With the exception of
the loss of the hemlock hedge, the impacts of highway
widening will occur on the property regardless of the
alignment chosen. In the same manner that the proposed
channel relocation would mitigate loss of the stream
segment, highway design modifications could mitigate the
loss of the hemlock hedge and resulting noise level
elevation. One alternative would be to construct an earthen
berm between the new highway lanes and the Miller house and
plant hemlock trees on the crest of the berm. Noise levels
under this alternative would likely be lower at the Miller
House than those from a slightly more distant highway with
only vegetation as a noise barrier.
It is likely that agencies authorizing wetland fill for
this project will require evaluation of avoidance
alternatives to the stream relocation at Gashes Creek,
including those which impact the Miller property. The NCWRC
concurs that the avoidance issue must be resolved before a
i
T. Kendig re. US 74 Page 3 December 9, 1994
compensatory mitigation plan can be accepted, and we
encourage the NCDOT to immediately pursue formal evaluation
procedures under appropriate 114f" guidelines. Given the
lack of mutually acceptable avoidance alternatives and the
compromised nature of all involved resources, we feel that
such a review will be required to assess the relative
severity of natural and cultural resource impacts and
determine which avoidance alternative will produce the least
overall impact on public resources. Construction costs of
alternatives should also be considered.
Inclusion of a formal 114f" evaluation of the B. K.
Miller property in the upcoming Finding of No Significant
Impact would address our informational needs regarding
avoidance alternatives and facilitate resolution of
subsequent permitting issues. To proceed without such an
evaluation would allow production of the environmental
document but would not resolve the conflicts over alignment
alternatives, leading to additional delays in obtaining
required permits.
Thank you for the ongoing opportunity to provide input
in the planning stages for this project. The NCWRC remains
committed to development of workable procedures for
evaluating relative quality of natural and cultural
resources in situations such as this one where avoidance
alternatives are limited. If I can further assist your
office, please contact me at [phone].

and it looked possibly too small for us to rate, but Cherri said
any data would be good. We finally got some more more work out
that way (I'd been putting off going to Asheville for one

RE: Request for macrobenthic sampling at Gashes Creek,
Buncombe County
DOT is planning to culvert and bury about 900 linear feet of
Gashes Creek in Buncombe County as part of the widening of U.S.
74 from I-40 to SR 2775. This activity will require a 401
Certification from DEM. In order to determine compliance with
water Quality standards (primarily Antidegradation Standard), we
request that the Biological Assessment Group conduct an analysis
for macrobenthos on site as well as upstream and downstream. The
WRC plans to shock the stream for fish. If DEM is able to
collect BMAN data, we should probably coordinate this work with
the WRC sampling. Both Cherri Smith and Eric Galamb have
graciously volunteered to assist with the bug collecting.
Please call to advise whether this sampling is possible.
DOT has not yet applied for any permits. Sampling by this spring
would probably be most helpful.

The NCDOT will submit the permit application to the resource
agencies soon for review. This project, as proposed, will impact
approximately 8 acres of wetlands and 3 acres of surface waters.
The NCDOT will include a description on the wetland impact sites
and a wetland impact summary sheet. The NCWRC requested
information on the proposed culverts and stream relocation.
The NCDOT will enter into a MOA with the NCWRC to identify
and restore a specified amount of stream to offset the impacts
associated with the proposed stream relocation. The NCDEM
requested the regional office be involved in any discussions or
meetings associated with the project. The resource agencies want
the stream restoration to be ratio mitigation.
6. R-2306, Improvements to US 74, Buncombe County: Gordon
Cashin, NCDOT Environmental Specialist
The NCDOT has submitted the permit application for the
entire project as requested by the COE. An Individual permit is
being requested due to the proposed stream relocation. The NCDEM
advised if the proposed stream relocation remains part of the
project, they will be forced to deny the 401 Water Quality

7. R-2123, Eastern Charlotte Outer Loop, Mecklenburg County:
Cyndi Bell, NCDOT Environmental Specialist
The permit application for the entire Eastern Charlotte
Outer Loop was distributed to the resource agencies. The total
wetland impacts for the Eastern Charlotte Outer Loop is 8.7
acres.. The COE has verified the wetland delineation for this
project.
The NCDEM submitted comments to the NCDOT on the first
permit application circulated to the resource agencies.
Responses to the comments were incorporated into the second
permit application.
The crossing of Mallard Creek will impact 2 acres and is
below headwaters which will require an Individual permit from the
COE. The NCDOT investigated several alternatives to reduce the
wetland impacts and found the crossing as proposed is the most
feasible and practicable.
The NCDOT intends to debit the Long Creek mitigation site to
offset the wetland impacts created by this project. The final
mitigation plan for the Long Creek site will be circulated to the

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
Action ID No. 199402123 December 7, 1995
PUBLIC NOTICE
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways,
Post Office Box 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27611-5201 has applied for a
Department of the Army (DA) permit TO RELOCATE APPROXIMATELY 1100 LINEAR FEET
OF STREAM CHANNEL (0.42 ACRES), FILL 0.05 ACRES OF WETLANDS AND CONSTRUCT OR
EXTEND TWO BOX CULVERTS IN THE WATERS OF GASHES CREEK TO FACILITATE THE
WIDENING OF 6.7 MILES OF US HIGHWAY 74 BETWEEN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 40 (I-40)
AND OLD FORT ROAD (SR 2776) SOUTHEAST OF ASHEVILLE, BUNCOMBE COUNTY, NORTH
CAROLINA.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the proposed relocation of two sections of Gashes Creek.
Approximately 300 linear feet of stream channel would be affected immediately
east of the Blue Ridge Parkway where three meaders would be removed to
facilitate the extension of a triple box culvert carrying the stream under the
widened road. The existing 15-foot wide channel would be replaced by a 20-
foot wide channel with riprap banks. Immediately east of the present
intersection with Hemphill Road, plans show the relocation of approximately
800 feet of Gashes Creek. A new, 16-foot wide channel would be excavated into
upland 70 to 80 feet south of the existing 15-foot wide channel. A soil nail
retaining wall approximately 350 feet long and 40 feet high would be
constructed to stabilize an anticipated rock cut area. Rock riprap would be
placed to stabilize the stream banks. A double box culvert is proposed to
carry stream flow under a private road. In-stream boulders are proposed at
both locations to provide fisheries habitat. Gashes Creek was assigned a
Good-Fair bioclassification based on recent sampling by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management. The stream is a tributary to state-
designated trout waters and supports some trout, redbreast sunfish and several
nongame fish species. The proposed work would also impact approximately 0.05
acres of scrub shrub wetlands adjacent to Gashes Creek. A total of
approximately 600 cubic yards of rock and soil fill material would be
discharged below the ordinary high water level of the creek. The purpose of
the work is to widen the existing two-lane road to a five-lane, 64-foot wide,
curb and gutter facility to accommodate existing and projected traffic
volumes.
Also being evaluated concurrently with the above application are
additional impacts to headwater areas of Gashes Creek, Gap Creek and an
unnamed tributary of Cane Creek resulting from other sections of this project
which extend east to Cane Creek Road (SR 3136). These additional impacts to
waters and wetlands are eligible for authorization under DA Nationwide Permit
No. 26. The impacts would occur at 21 site locations and consist of the
following: approximately 1600 linear feet of channel relocations; 0.26 acres
of open water fill; 0.02 acres of wetland fill; extension or installation of
10 box culverts and corrugated metal pipe drainage structures; the discharge
of approximately 250 cubic yards of fill into waters and wetlands. The
applicant has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) and a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) addressing the full length of the project from I-40
to SR 3136. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality
Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the
comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat,
designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies, 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA)
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army (DA) permit serves as application to the NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Salisbury Street,
Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be
furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 4401 Reedy Creek Road,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before December 29, 1995,
Attention: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Steven Lund, until 4:15 p.m.,
January 5, 1996, or telephone [phone].

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Buncombe County, Proposed widening of US 74 from I-40 to SR 3136
southeast of Asheville, TIP No. R-2306, State Project No. 8.1841702.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen
approximately 6.7 miles of existing US 74 between I-40 and SR 3136 southeast of Asheville
in Buncombe County. The preferred alternative with recommended improvements consists
of widening the existing road to a five-lane 64-foot curb and gutter facility combining both
northside and southside widening. A four-lane section is required through the underpass at
the Blue Ridge Parkway where lateral clearance is limited. This project will be
accomplished in two phases. The first phase is designated as TIP Project No. R-2306A and
extends from I-40 to SR 2775. The second phase extends from SR 2775 to SR 3136, and is
designated as TIP Project No. R-2306B.
An application was submitted to your agency on August 10, 1995 for Section 404
authorization for the first phase of the project (R-2306A). Your agency responded on
August 25, 1995 with a request for additional information on the second phase of the
project. This correspondence provides the requested information for project R-2306B as
well as revised information on R-2306A.
The second phase of the project (R-2306B) impacts Waters of the United States at
six locations, summarized on Sheet 3 of 10 in the R-2306B permit drawings. However,
only two of these sites involve wetlands. Since all of these sites are located above
headwaters, it is apparent that project R-2306B could be authorized under Nationwide
Permit No. 26. Plan sheets are enclosed that depict each of the impact sites.
Also enclosed are revised plan sheets for project R-2306A which are based on the
currently proposed design. Three of the sites which were depicted in the submittal of
August 10, 1995 have been removed (Sites 15, 16, and 17). One new site has been added
(Site 17A). This has reduced the impact of project R-2306A to waters of the United States
from 0.856 acres to 0.841 acres. Impacts to wetlands has remained the same at 0.064
acres.
Me)
? r
The environmental impacts of the entire R-2306 project were evaluated in an
Environmental Assessment document which was signed by the Federal Highway
Administration on January 19, 1994. The potential impacts were further reviewed in a
Finding of No Significant Impact and Programmatic 4(f) document which was signed by the
Federal Highway Administration on June 8, 1995. The proposed design of the project
presented in this application is consistent with the findings of the FONSI document.
The NCDOT's submittal of August 10, 1995 actually included two applications.
One was for Section 404 authorization to construct project R-2306A. The second
application was for Nationwide Permit No. 6 authorization to allow preliminary
geotechnical investigations for project R-2306A. This work is needed in order to complete
final plans for retaining walls along the project. It is imperative that this Nationwide 6
authorization be granted as soon as possible.
The NCDOT hereby requests that you continue to review project R-2306 for 404
permit authorization. A copy of this information has been provided to the N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission and the N.C. Division of Environmental Management for their
review. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin at [phone],
Extension 315.

Memorandum
To: Tom Kendig

Through: John Dorsey
From: Eric Gal ame)
Subject: Management Plan for the Reed Creek in Weaver Park
Buncombe County
DWQ No. 951201, COE No. 199402123, TIP No. R-2306
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
widening of US 74 on 9 September 1997. Condition 8 of the Certification requires that
DOT submit a management plan for the Reed Creek mitigation site within two months of
the issuance of the 404 Permit. DWQ is to provide written approval of this plan. DOT
submitted a management plan on 12 January 1998.
The City of Asheville has been mowing the grass in the buffer zone on a regular basis.
The plan states that the grass would be mowed by a weed-eater or similar equipment once
a year in the buffer. DWQ expects that this oversight by the City will be corrected.
DWQ believes that the DOT/City Agreement to be an integral component of the
Management Plan. Has this Agreement been finalized and adopted by both parties?
Observations made at the Weaver Park on October 9, 1998 revealed that the interpretative
signs have not been installed. The landscaped pathway also has not been constructed.
Since the City will be responsible for the maintenance, DWQ requests that they formally
approve the plan in writing prior to us having final approval.
Should you have any questions, please contact us at 733-1786.

1 re-vegetation approaches, and 2) to provide
of sediment, turbidity and thermal inputs. In
may also see possible reduction'as secondary
t of this Management Plan is to Support thc3c
ille in the proper maintenance of the restored
the long-term success of the improvements
Plan Features
?j
The Management Plan addresses issues relate to: .1) general Park activities and • management
(e.g. pedestrian traffic control, s gvage), 2) sF?ort=term maintenance (e.g. mowing, trimming,
pruning, channel/bufkr maintenance) and 3) long-term maintenance (e.g. tree trimming/removal,
invasive species removal, pest management, channel maintenance requirements).
l
General Maintenance Guidelines and Schedu?e
The following maintenance. activities should be voided within the Park throughout the year:
• Except where: determined necessary under a separate management activity, the deposition of
material, such as soil, rock, wood, and grass: clippings, into the stream and/or along the banks
should be avoided. The unnecessary depos. ion in-stream and along the banks may cause the
channel to erode and/or aggrade, and may also reduce the ability of bank vegetation to
establish.
• Except under emergency situations fire), independent permits aad or appropriate
channel maintenance activities, puteiping auE-of the stream should be avoided.
• Except where necessary to restore an impeded strcmn segment and/ or where utility crossings
are necessary, no hi-stream work (by hand':or machine) wU1 be allowed.. If in-stream work is
required for utility installation: or restoratio activity, the area (channel bed and banks) is to
be put back to original grade,'.stabilized and!re-vegetated upon completion of the activity.
Pedestrian use should be limited .,to areas I outside the buffer zone and directed along the
pathways. Signage will likely. be establishjed to direct pedestrian traffic as well as provide
educational information on the restoration techniques, sensitive areas, etc.
A, schedule of recommended maintenance activities for Reed Creek in Weaver Park is given in
Table 1. The table provides general ,guidance regarding appropriate methods, frequency, and
time of year for maintenance activities.

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401
Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) Regulatigm in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500 to N.C. Department of

and the 4th day of August 1997 to relocate Gashes Creek to accommodate the widening of US 74
(TIP # R-2306).
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters
of Gashes Creek in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of
applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North
Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302,
303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application,
as described in the Public Notice or as modified below. If you change your project, you must
notify us and you may be required to submit a revised application. If total wetland fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow
the conditions listed below. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits

The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued Water Quality Certification No. 3147 to the NC Departm ,.
of Transportation on September 9, 1997. A condition of this Certification was to provide successful
compensatory mitigation for the impacts to waters. Another condition was to submit a management plan
for the Reed Creek- Weaver Park Mitigation site. The design of the mitigation site was received on
January 22, 1998. We also received the management plan on January 12, 1998. The plans and report
satisfy conditions 6a, 6b, 6d and 8 of the Certification.
DWQ agreed to allow for macrobenthos sampling to occur in winter instead of summer by DOT's request.
Therefore, condition 6c of Certification 3147 is modified to the following:
DOT shall conduct monitoring for macrobethos in the winter of 1997-98 (pre-construction). In the two
winters following the completion of the stream construction, no monitoring shall occur. After this two year
period, DOT shall resume the macrobentos monitoring in the winter for three consecutive years. Summer
monitoring shall also occur in the second of the three consecutive years. DWQ's Standard
OperatingProcedures for mac robethos analysis shall be used or another method approved by DWQ.
Monitoring shall be done once a year (except for the one winter and summer monitoring) at two stations.
DOT shall locate these sites and sumbit them for written approval. Macxobethos monitoring reports shall
be submitted on an annual basis to DWQ by September 30.

Dear Colonel Youngbluth:
PAGE 02
This is the report of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and the Department of the
Interior on the permit issued to Mr. H. Franklin Vick of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) to place fill in and to relocate Gashes Creek and adjacent wetlands in
Buncombe County, North Carolina (Action ID No. 199402123). This report is based on site
visits by our staff, a review of the permit application, and the "Conceptual stream restoration
report for Reed Creek, Weaver.Sark, Asheville, North Carolina" (Restoration Plan), prepared for
the NCDOT by KCI Associates of North Carolina, Inc., in April 1997. The Service also
reviewed the "Aquatic survey of Gashes Creek" prepared for the NCDOT by Fish and Wildlife
Associates, Inc., in June 1997. Discussions with Mr. Bob Johnson of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) have provided additional background information. This report is submitted in
accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(16 UT.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
The project includes the filling of wetlands and stream impacts related to the widening of a
6.7-mile stretch of US 74 between 1-40 and SR 3136.. Fill in wetlands is expected to be
0.064 acre in Section, .A. and less than 0.02 acre in Section B of the project. The wetland impacts
in Section A are the same as indicated in the permit application of August 10, 1995, and
November 1, 1995. A stream monitoring plan has been implemented for Gashes Creek that will
include monitoring after its relocation. Monitoring includes basic water quality and substrate
analyses as well as fish and macroinvertebrate surveys. No information was provided on the
length of post-construction monitoring. Mitigation of stream impacts is proposed as off-site
restoration.
Permit QbJeclions. The Service is concerned that the permit was issued over our objections.
We recommended denial of the permit because there was a practicable alternative to fill of
November 14, 1997
11/17/1997 15:20 7042516452 PAGE 03
natural wetlands and streams. We were disappointed that the stream impacts were merely
minimized, rather than avoided, given that the historic property (B. K. Miller) on the opposite
side of the proposed road widening was avoided. The Service still believes an alternative that
would avoid the relocation of Gashes Creek near Hemphill Knob is practicable and considerably
more economical. The Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) Guidelines prohibit the
placement of fill in the waters of the United States for nonwater-dependent activities if a
practicable alternative exists. We recognize that the NCDOT and Federal Highway
Administration place higher deference to the Section 4(f) historic property designation of the
B. K. Miller House; however, we believe the Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines are clear. The row of
hemlock trees that would have been impacted by an alternative that would have avoided the
stream wero recently pruned by the owners/renters of the B. K. Miller house. Further, it is likely
these trees will continue to be pruned or removed because of a utility easement. Apparently the
hemlock trees, which were considered integral to the historic nature of the propolty, hava,bcon
pruned to provide a view of a billboard that has been erected in front of the house; it advertises
the "Sassy Cats" hair salon, which is located in the historic house. Despite the offorts of the
Federal Highway Administration and the Corps' issuance of a permit over our objections, the
integrity of the historic B. K. Miller house and grounds is apparently not as important to the
renters/owners. Therefore, the Service recommends that the Corps reconsider this permit.
Off-site Mitigation. Notwithstanding our continued dismay with the permit issuance, the
Service recommends that the Corps at least modify the mitigation conditions of the permit,
pursuant to our September 15, 1997, comments as to the inappropriateness of the proposed
mitigation. We do not feel that the proposed stream restoration is commensurate with the
proposed impacts to Gashes Creek. Based on a site inspection, Reed Creek is a relatively stable
stream. Riparian vegetation management would address oast of the limited bank erosion of
Reed Creek, but it is doubtful that the City of Asheville is prepared to maintain any riparian
improvem,outs over the long term. Further, attempts to stabilize and improve the habitat quality
of Reed Crook without addrowing the factors that have resulted in the stream's instability and
poor habitat quality may bo inconsequential or may, in fact, increase the instability of the stream,
leading to further problems within the project area and/or downstream. Additionally, Reed
Creek is a tributary to the French Broad River, and we recommend that mitigation of impacts at
(rashes Creek should be accomplished within the Swannanoa River watershed.
I «??
As we indicated in our letter of September 15, 1997; the Service would be glad to assist in the 40
identification of stream restoration sites for those unavoidable impacts in the permit. Basically,
we recommend restoration of a similar size stream within the Swannanoa River drainage where
attainable restoration objectives do exist. We have conceptually identified several reaches of
streams in the Swannanoa River watershed that could be improved through a variety of
measures. These streams are Buckeye Creek, Grassy Branch, Haw Creek, Bull Creek, Shope
Creek, Christian Creek, and Beetree Creek as well as the main ebamel of the Swannanoa River.
Di -site Stream Relocation, The proposed stream relocation design concerns the Service
because of its reliance upon rock and stone structures. No details are provided about the stream
slope, riffle slope, pool slope, valley slope, meander geometry, sinuosity, cross-sectional
dimensions, entrenchment ratio, bed material (pebble count), bank-full discharge, or even the
stream classification (Rosgen 1996) of the designed relocation. These data should be included in
11/17/1997 15:20 7042516452 PAGE 04
f
any stream relocation design. Some of the structures in the restoration plan may not be suitable
for this reach of Crashes Creek. The Service requests a review of a more detailed stream
relocation design that incorporates natural stream morphology design concepts.
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Mark Cantrell of our staff at 704/258-3939, Ext. 227, if you
have any questions regarding our comments. We have assigned our Log Number 4-2-90-058 to
this project; please refer to it in all future correspondence directed to us concerning this matter.

US 74 improvements, T.I.P. No. R-2306 - Gashes Creek
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Mr. H. Franklin Vick, P.E., of the North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting; a letter of
concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. I have reviewed information provided by the applicant, and i am familiar with
habitat values of the project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water
Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended-, 16
U.S.C. 661-667d).
The applicant proposes to widen approximately 6.7 miles of existing US 74 between I-40 and SR 3136
southeast of Asheville. The project includes the relocation of approximately 1100 linear feet of stream channel, fill
in 0.06 acres of wetland and the construction and/or extension of two box culverts in the waters of Gashes Creek.
The original application request was denied by the COE without prejudice on November 26, 1996, due to the
denial of a 401 Water Quality Certification by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Since that
time the NCDOT has worked to resolve objections and has modified their project. Tile modifications consist of the
addition of offsite stream channel mitigation on Reed Creek at Weaver Park in Asheville, the development of a
stream restoration plan for the relocated portions of Gashes Creek intended to restore the aquatic habitat features of
the existing channel, and implementation of a biological monitoring plan for Gashes Creek to assess its recovery.
As a result of these modifications, the 401 Water Quality Certification was issued on July 17, 1997.
Based on the information provided concerning project modifications and the issuance of the 401 Water
Quality Certification, the NCWRC does not object to the issuance of a 404 permit provided the following
conditions are met by the applicant:
1. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be implemented and maintained on the
project site to avoid impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Stormwater should be directed to
buffer areas or retention basins and should not be routed directly into streams. Structures should be
inspected and maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events.
2. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of
ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
Action ID No. 199402123 Page 2 September 12, 1997
3. The culverts and extensions should be constructed below grade to allow natural stream bottom
materials to become established in the culverts following installation. This may require increasing
the size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements.
4. Baffles should be placed in reinforced concrete box culverts at 15 foot intervals to allow for the
collection of sediments in the culvert, reduce flow velocities, and to provide resting places for fish
moving through the structure.
5. If possible, all instream work should be conducted in a dry work area. Sand bags, cofferdams,
flexible pipe, or other diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
6. Adequate precautions should be taken to prevent direct contact between wet concrete and stream
water. Uncured concrete affects water quality and is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms.
7. The new channel should be constructed in a dry work area and stabilized before water is diverted.
We ask that the new channel be designed to resemble the old channel in width, depth, meander, and
gradient and that natural substrate, not rip-rap, be used in the channel floor. Vortex rock weirs
should also be installed to mimic existing riffle patterns. Native trees (willows, alders, sycamores,
dogwoods, black walnut, and red maple) and herbaceous shrubs should be planted along the new
stream channel to provide cover for fish and wildlife and to provide long term erosion control.
8. Natural materials should be used as much as possible to restore and stabilize stream banks. Riprap
should be limited to the stream bank below the high water mark, and vegetation should be used for
stabilization above high water.
9. Construction staging areas should be located on upland sites, specifically not in or adjacent to wetland
areas. This will prevent contamination of streams or wetlands from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
or other toxic materials.
10. The offsite stream mitigation plan for Reed Creek and the biological monitoring plan for Gashes
Creek be implemented and maintained.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Pending availability of field staff,
the NCWRC may inspect the work site during or after construction. If there are any questions regarding these
comments, please contact me at [phone].

SUBJECT: Buncombe County, Proposed widening of US 74 from I-40 to SR 3136 southeast of
Asheville, TIP No. R-2306, State Project No. 8.1841702, COE Action ID No.
199402123, WQC Project No. 951201.
The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen approximately 6.7 miles of existing
US 74 between I-40 and SR 3136 southeast of Asheville. The NCDOT initially applied for Section ,_ _
permit authorization for a section of the project on August 10, 1995. This application was later modified.
On February 21, 1996, the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ), formerly the Division of
Environmental Management, denied the NCDOT's application for a 401 Water Quality Certification for
the project. Your agency advised the NCDOT by letter dated November 13, 1996 that our application
for a Section 404 permit was denied without prejudice and the permit file retired. This letter indicated
that the file could be reopened once state authorization was obtained.
Considerable coordination with the DWQ has taken place to resolve this problem and obtain the state
authorization for the project. In particular, great efforts have been made to improve the design of the
stream relocation on-site, and develop a conceptual off-site stream mitigation plan. On July 17, 1997 the
DWQ issued a 401 Water Quality Certification for the R-2306A section of the project. This letter is
provided so that the Section 404 permit file can be reopened. The letter provides a summary of the
coordination that has taken place to date, current permit drawings for the entire R-2306 project, and a
discussion of on- and off-site mitigation and monitoring commitments.
IF

As mentioned earlier, the NCDOT initially applied for Section 404 authorization for
section R-2306A on August 10, 1995. On August 25, 1995, your agency advised the
NCDOT that the application should include both sections of the project (R-2306A and R-
2306B). On November 1, 1995, the NCDOT submitted a revised application which
described the impacts of both sections of R-2306. This application identified 0.064 acres
of wetlands impacted by section A and less than 0.02 acres of wetlands impacted by
section B. The Public Notice was issued for the project on December 7, 1995, but
mistakenly reported the wetland impact to be 0.05 acres, and this mistake has continued
in subsequent correspondence and caused some confusion. Comments on this Public
Notice were received from the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.
The DWQ denied the 401 Water Quality Certification on February 21, 1996, but
coordination continued to occur. These discussions particularly affected the design
details for the relocation of Gashes Creek, and off-site mitigation plans. The status of
these discussions and updated design drawings were provided to the Corps of Engineers
in letters dated July 26, 1996 and May 9, 1997. This continuing coordination eventually
resulted in the issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification. The NCDOT has
compiled a complete set of permit drawings depicting the current project design
developed through the coordination process. Both sections of the project are included in
this project. The details of the B section, including the wetland impacts, have not
changed from t e application of November 1, 1995. The wetland impacts-of the A
section a re also the same as indicated in both the August 10 and November 1, 1995
applications. The major changes that have occurred are in the design details for the
Gashes Creek relocation (See especially sheets 6, 6A, 6B, 813, 9, 9A, and 913). All of
these sheets are identical to those submitted to your agency by letter dated May 9, 1997
except for Sheet 9B. This sheet depicts the details of proposed vortex rock weirs which
have been slightly revised through coordination with the DWQ.
The NCDOT has also implemented a monitoring plan for Gashes Creek. The NCDOT
contracted with Fish and Wildlife Associates to sample pre-construction conditions in
Gashes Creek. A survey site was identified in the section of Gashes Creek to be
relocated. In May 1997, a quantitative survey of fishes and aquatic macroinvertebrates
was performed to determine species composition and abundance. Basic water quality and
substrate analyses were performed at the same time. Fish and Wildlife Associates
compiled a report entitled "Aquatic Survey of Gashes Creek, US 74-A Road
Improvement, Buncombe County, North Carolina, June 1997" which details the results
and methodology of this survey. The NCDOT has hand delivered a copy of this report to
Mr. Steve Lund of the Asheville Regulatory Field Office. The relocated section of
Gashes Creek will be assessed again after project construction is complete.
The NCDOT has developed a mitigation plan for off-site stream restoration, which is
specified in Condition 6 of the Water Quality Certification. The basic plan for this effort
is outlined in the "Conceptual Stream Restoration Report for Reed Creek" dated April 14,
1997 by KCI and Associates. This proposal was modified slightly in subsequent
discussions with the DWQ. These modifications are identified in Water Quality
Certification No. 3147 issued July 17, 1997 and a memo dated June 12, 1997 from Mr.
John Dorney, DWQ to Mr. Tom Kendig, NCDOT. The conceptual plan will be revised
into final form following concurrence from your agency on the plan approved by DWQ.
Please continue to review this project for authorization under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. By copy of this letter, the NCDOT requests that the DWQ review project
section R-2306B as either a separate permit action or as a modification to Certification
No. 3147. If you have any questions or need any additional information please call Mr.
Gordon Cashin at [phone] extension 278.

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401
Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section.0500 to N.C. Department of
Transportation resulting in 0.064 acres of wetland impact and 0.84 acres of water impact
including the relocation of 1,100 linear feet of channel in Buncombe County pursuant to an
application dated the 26th day of July 1996, the 9th day of May 1997 and the 9th day of July 1997
to relocate Gashes Creek to accommodate the widening of US 74 (TIP # R-2306).
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters
of Gashes Creek in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of
applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North
Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302,
303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application,
as described in the Public Notice or as modified below. If you change your project, you must
notify us and you may be required to submit a revised application. If total wetland fills for this
project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow
the conditions listed below. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits
before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those
outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available
from the Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices) shall be
utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50
NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs in all
lakes and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed
and the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the
project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands, compensatory mitigation is
required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities;
5. On-site compensatory mitigation shall be done in accordance with "Final Construction
Plans for R-2306A." DOT shall submit a final on-site mitigation plan to DWQ. A
minimum of 1:1 restoration or creation is required.
6. Off-site mitigation shall be done at Reed Creek in Weaver Park in Asheville as described
in the "Conceptual Stream Restoration Report for Reed Creek" dated 14 April 1997 and
the addenda memo from John Dorney to Tom Kendig dated 12 June 1997 with the
following exceptions:
a) shrubs shall be planted in the floodplain of Reed Creek on at least one side of the
channel for its entire length including from station 1+50 to 3+75 and 8+00 to
9+25.
b) the south side of Reed Creek from station 0+00 to 5+50 shall be planted with
evergreen shrubs.
c) DOT shall conduct monitoring for macrobenthos in the summer of 1997 (pre-
construction). In the two summers following the completion of the stream
construction, no monitoring shall occur. After this two year period, DOT shall
resume the macrobenthos monitoring in the summer for three consecutive years.
DWQ's Standard Operating Procedures for macrobenthos analysis shall be used or
another method approved by DWQ. Monitoring shall be done once a year at two
stations. DOT shall locate these sites and submit them for written DWQ approval.
Macrobenthos monitoring reports shall be submitted on an annual basis to DWQ
by September 30.
d) DOT shall submit a final off-site mitigation plan to DWQ for written approval
within two months of the issuance of the 404 Permit.
7. Within two months of the issuance of the 404 Permit, DOT shall cause the City of
Asheville to grant the Conservation Easement for the Reed Creek-Weaver Park mitigation
site, as required by the agreement between the City of Asheville and DOT (TIP # R-2306,
Project # 8.1841702).
8. DOT shall submit a management plan for the off-site mitigation at Reed Creek - Weaver
Park to DWQ for its written approval within two months of the issuance of the 404
Permit. The site shall be maintained in accordance with this management plan.
9. DOT shall submit compensatory wetland and stream mitigation plans to DWQ if the Army
Corps of Engineers requires mitigation in addition to the Reed Creek-Weaver Park plan
and the on-site mitigation.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification and
may result in criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless
the above conditions are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act
Permit. This Certification shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA permit.

Contract No. A302659
The proposed stream restoration as outlined in the'Conceptual Stream Restoration' report is
acceptable to DWQ since it will result in improved streambank stability which will improve aesthetics and
water quality. After my staff discussed the plans with Chuck Hegberg of KCI Tech, it was our
understanding the entire rock wall will be removed since this would dissipate erosive forces downstream.
The ins;de curve (depositional floodplain) will be graded out rather than remain entrenched.
In addition, KCI is planning on planting trees on the banks to provide shading. They will likely use
large (approximately 8 ft.) trees with strong wood, such as oaks planted on 10 - 12 foot centers. Since this
is a park and security is an issue, KCI wanted to use larger trees with few understory branches spaced 10 to
12 feet apart. An open understory would eliminate the potential for muggers and undesirables to hide
amongst the vegetation.
Please submit estimates of planting density and tree species to be used for our review and approval.
KCI was planning on surveying the area to see which species grow naturally so that they could plant trees
which will mimic the natural setting. The trees should be placed within 10 feet of the stream to ensure
shading.
if you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has completed this Conceptual Stream
Restoration Plan for the restoration of Reed Creek to satisfy permit requirements associated
with the proposed improvements to Route 74 in Buncombe County. These improvements
along Route 74 required the relocation of Gashes Creek, a tributary to the Swannanoa River.
In addition to the rehabilitation of Gashes Creek onsite, a Site Search was conducted (KCI,
January, 1997) to locate streams requiring restoration in the Swannanoa and French Broad
watersheds. Reed Creek, a tributary to the French Broad River north of Asheville, was
selected as the candidate stream available for restoration Figures 1 and 2). Two (2)
additional potential restoration sites were located in the Swannanoa watershed, but
landowners were not willing to participate. Availability, existing bank erosion, lack of
riparian buffers, potential for water quality improvements and educational opportunities
established Reed Creek as the primary candidate for restoration. The reach area identified
for restoration is the portion of Reed Creek in Weaver Park between Murdock Avenue and
Merrimon Avenue, approximately 400 meters (1,300 linear feet) along the channel
centerline. The restoration will include approximately 670 meters (2,200 linear feet) of bank
stabilization. The restoration methodology applied for this project and presented within this
report includes fluvial geomorphological principles, innovative technology for creating
stable channel geometry, planform, and bank protection using various bioengineering
techniques.
2.0 PROJECT GOALS
In addition to meeting the permit requirements for restoration, the goals of this restoration
project include:
Develop an environmentally sensitive approach to stabilizing the stream channel using
fluvial geomorphological principles and bioengineering measures.
• Restore habitat and reduce erosion potential along Reed Creek through revegetation,
in-stream habitat improvements, and bank stabilization
• Improve water quality conditions downstream through the stabilization of channel
sediments, shading, pollutant uptake, flood attenuation.
• Integrate stream stabilization and habitat enhancement goals with opportunities for
educational advancement and park utilization.
3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
3.1 Watershed
The watershed draining to the project site is approximately 600 hectares (1,470 acres).
Watershed limits to the east are defined by the northeast-southwest trending Beaucatcher
and Sunset Mountains reaching elevations of approximately 944 meters (3,100 feet) above

mean sea level (MSL). Weaver Park is situated in the foothills at elevation 634 meters
(2,080 feet) above MSL. The watershed is comprised of a combination of residential,
commercial, and institutional land uses. Residential areas occur as singular, large and more
recent homes along the mountain ridges to more concentrated and older developed areas in
the foothills. Commercial and institutional zones are less prominent in the watershed and
are also more common in the lower watershed area, particularly along Murdock Avenue and
Merrimon Avenue. Development in the watershed has likely reached a maximum (Al Kopf,
1997). The relief and degree of urbanization of the watershed [approximately 300 meters
(1,000 feet)] and it's influence on site hydrology, are likely the most significant watershed
characteristics impacting the channel restoration design. The precipitous relief reduces
surface storage of runoff causing a reduction in lag time to peak flows and an increase in
flow quantity. Urbanization influences exacerbate "flashy" hydrology with impervious
surfaces (reducing infiltration) and networks of storm drains and curb and gutter systems.
These watershed characteristics create unique (and often difficult) conditions for a channel
to establish a stable form.
3.2 Site Description
Weaver Park is approximately 2.7 hectares (6.6 acres) in size and is comprised of a baseball
field, basketball court, tennis courts and children's playground. Park mapping, including
topography, boundary survey and utility locations was provided by the Asheville Parks and
Recreation Department. The property is triangle in shape and is defined by Murdock Road
to the east, Merrimon Road to the west and single family residences to the south. The park
is relatively flat from Murdock Road west towards Reed Creek than slopes up from the creek
to the tennis courts and Merrimon Road. Reed Creek enters the park from the southeast
corner through a double cell (6 feet X 8 feet) box culvert under Murdock Avenue. The
channel proceeds westerly along the southern property border for a distance of
approximately 200 meters (500 feet) then turns north and enters a culvert under Merrimon
Avenue for a total distance of approximately 530 meters (1,300 feet). Park landscaping is
typical with well maintained turf throughout and occasional large trees, primarily boxelder
maple (Acer negundo) and silver maple (Acer saccharinum).
3.3 Channel Description
Reed Creek in the project area is classified as Class "C" waters according to the Department
of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR), Division of Water Quality
(DWQ). The channel is perennial and is comprised of a substrate dominated by gravel sized
material. Some reaches of Reed Creek exhibit a bi-modal distribution of sediment (high
proportions of fines in addition to gravel) typical of urban and degrading streams.
According to the Asheville Parks and Recreation department (Al Kopf, 1997), Reed Creek
originally traversed the center of the park property and was subsequently relocated to the
west. In addition to the relocation, channel encroachment likely occurred to accommodate
park features such as parking, walkways, and the various recreational facilities. Particular
encroachment has occurred along a reach approximately 82 meters (200 feet) in length,
in the southwest section of Reed Creek where stone and concrete walls have confined the
channel.

length. The estimated sinuosity is 1.1. The

and the stream gradient (a roximat& 1.3%A. This slope is sufficiently steep to reduce the
development of well established cha trfe meanders. Based on empirically derived data,
other features of channel planform including: meander wavelength, meander amplitude, and
radius of curvature typically correspond to the channels bankfull dimensions; particularly
width (Leopold et al. 1964). Assuming the channel form is in relative equilibrium with
watershed sediment and water inputs, average planform relationships for a given bankfull
width can be generated. The estimated bankfull width (based on visual observations and
preliminary cross-sectional data) of Reed Creek is 4 meters (10 feet). Table 1 compares the
derived channel planform features based on empirical data and that of Reed Creek for a ten
foot wide bankfull channel section.
At its current location, Reed Creek exhibits a

Radius of Curvature 7 meters (23 feet) 12 meters (40 feet)

a
The poor correlation in the empirical data to observed Reed Creek features are likely
attributable to the historical modifications of the channel and its current urban setting. The
empirically derived data on stream channel characteristics used for comparison were
generated from streams in relatively undeveloped watersheds.
3.3.2 Riffle-Pool Complexes
Riffle-pool complexes are important features for the establishment of in-stream aquatic
habitats. Their establishment is directly related to the planform features discussed
previously. Pools and riffles generally establish (on average) at spacings associated with
one-half the meander wavelength or at approximately six times the bankfull width.
Therefore, at Reed Creek, pools and riffles should be spaced at approximately 18 meter (60
foot) intervals. Since the planform features of Reed Creek do not match the empirical data,
riffle-pool spacings are also inconsistent and variable. Evident in Reed Creek are poorly
defined complexes which could be classified as extended pools or run reaches.
3.3.3 Channel Banks and Riparian Zones
The majority of the channel banks along Reed Creek reveal influences of erosion. Bank
erosion causes are likely attributable to a flashy flow regime, channel encroachment, and
lack of bank vegetation. The most severe erosion is located immediately upstream or
0
downstream of channel confinements (Photo #6) and in the lower reach at the downstream
end of the property (Photo #3). The bank degradation appears to be the result of fluvial
entrainment of unconsolidated soil material associated with high channel flows. The lack
of riparian vegetation in establishing a root matrix to protect the soil is likely a significant
cause of erosion.
3.3.4 Site Hydrology
Preliminary existing hydrology to the site was established based on the following two
methods:
1) discharge estimates from USGS regression equations
2) discharge estimates based on site specific geomorphic measurements
The establishment of site hydrology is a key feature in the development of stream restoration
design plans. Key features include the determination of recurrences and associated flood
elevations for selected discharges and the channel's dominant discharge or channel forming
flows. These are important for the establishment of stable channel geometry and the
determination of appropriate elevations for vegetative establishment.
The USGS Regional Regression Equations for North Carolina (Blue-Ridge Piedmont Urban)
revealed discharges ranging from 22m3/sec (789 fe /sec) for the two year event to 78m3/sec
(2,742 ft'/sec) for the 100 year storm (APPENDIX Q. These estimates are likely on the
high side since the model averaged imperviousness and slope throughout the watershed;
which does not accurately represent the study area. The slopes are steep in the eastern part
of the Reed Creek watershed, yet imperviousness in this region is low. A second set of flows
were calculated using the standard (not urban) Blue-Ridge USGS regression equations. The
estimated flows using this method ranged from 7.3m3/sec (256 ft3/sec) for the two year event
to 34.8m3/sec (1,228 ft3/sec) for the 100 year storm. It is likely safe to assume that flows for
this watershed fall somewhere between the estimates generated from these two models.
Better flow estimates from more detailed hydrologic models (e.g. TR-20) would be
necessary to improve the determination of runoff volumes based on detailed watershed
mapping.
The second method of determining flows in Reed Creek involved the use of data collected
onsite and used as input to a hydraulic program (HEC-RAS). Five (5) field run cross-
sections at selected reaches were obtained and estimates of channel slope and roughness
(Mannings coefficients) were d-sed-a input data into the HEC-RAS hydraulic program.
Average channel slope used 'je % d an estimated roughness coefficient of 0.03. A
series of discharges ranging f m /sec (25 ft3/sec) to 8.5m/sec (300 ft/sec ) were then
run through the model to obresulting flood elevations at each section. Based on
the HEC-RAS results (APPEB), bankfull flow was estimated at 2.8m3/sec (100 ft3
/sec). Discharges exceeding rent banks of Reed Creek required a discharge of over
0
0
?" " r6
a
8.5m'/sec (300 ft3/sec). Since these flow estimates were based on site-specific data, they
were used as the foundation for the concept design plans.
During the final design stage, more detailed modeling of the Reed Creek flows will be
conducted. This may involve the implementation of a fully automatic flow monitoring
program through the installation of pressure transducers and data loggers. The additional
data will be used to refine the design and determine more accurate tractive forces on the
proposed bed and bank materials.
4.0 PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN
The Proposed Concept Plan for the restoration of Reed Creek is provided in the back of this
report. The plans illustrate, in detail, proposed changes in planform, cross-section, bank
stabilization details and park features. The proposed Concept Plan to restore Reed Creek
attempts to accommodate both improved in-stream and riparian conditions and the current
use of Weaver Park. Obviously, attempts to restore Reed Creek to historical stream
conditions (through the center of the park) would be illogical and excessive. Therefore, the
proposed plan will work with the current gross channel location, and improve channel
conditions by slightly modifying attributes such as sinuosity, channel cross-sections, and
bank slopes. Key to the development of the plan is the expectation that watershed conditions
are relatively static with insignificant changes in watershed hydrology and sediment loading
anticipated. In addition, since Reed Creek is located in an urban setting with competing
adjacent landuses and utilities, the degree of desired channel movement is minimal.
Therefore, the proposed plan will establish a framework from which the channel will have
the ability to adjust slightly, yet not impact adjacent utilities or property.
4.1 Planform
The proposed Concept Plan for Reed Creek will maintain the majority of the current channel
planform. Due to the degree of encroachment and adjacent properties along the southern
property edge, minimal lateral change in channel location is proposed for the first 152
meters (500 feet) (Station 0+00 to 5+00). Proposed shifts in the downstream channel
sections occur near Station 5+25, 8+50, 9+50 and 10+75. These adjustments serve to re-
establish riffle-pool sequences and improve the flooding efficiency (reduce stream power)
of Reed Creek.
4.2 Cross-section
From Station 0+00 to 5+00, cross-sectional changes are proposed to reduce the existing
steep channel banks, particularly along the north side of the channel and obtain additional
flood prone area on the south side with minimal grading. Targeted stable slopes will attempt
to remain at 1.5:1 (upper limit for effective bioengineered slope treatment) or less. Cross-
sectional adjustments for the lower reaches include the removal of the stone wall near the
existing pedestrian bridge and replacement of a section with more available floodplain to
a

a

0
the north. Three (3) sections of relocations will also occur from Station 7+00 to Station
8+00, Station 8+00 to 10+00, and Station 10+50 to 11+00.
The determination of the appropriate cross-sectional dimensions at these locations was based
on the field evaluations of relatively stable reaches, floodplain/terrace features and the
preliminary hydrologic and hydraulic analysis. Site features appear to indicate the
development of a two tiered or nested channel. Note tiered floodplain surfaces on Photo #4,
Photo #5, and Photo #7. The most stable reach section observed exhibiting this feature is
near Station 8+50 (Photo #7). Using a Mannings coefficient of 0.03 and slope of 1.25
percent, a discharge of approximately 2.8m3/sec (100 ft' /sec) filled the low flow of this
channel section. The high flow region retained a discharge of between 8.5m )'sec (300 ft'
/sec) to 14.2m'/sec (500 ft' /sec). Similar results are evident on HEC-RAS Station 5. Based
on these results the proposed channel template will be designed with a low flow to convey
100 cfs and a high flow to convey flows in the range of 8.5m 'sec (300 ft' /sec) to
14.2m'/sec (500 ft' /sec). At cross-over reaches (riffle areas) the proposed low flow is 3
meters (10 feet) wide by 0.6 meters (2 feet) deep and the high flow channel is 6 meters (20
feet) wide with a total depth of 1.2. meters (4 feet). At meander locations the low flow
section will be reduced in width to 2.4 meters (8 feet) and increased in depth to 0.75 meters
(2.5 feet) to enhance pool development.
4.3 Bank Stabilization
The proposed location and details of the bank stabilization techniques are illustrated on the
Concept Plans. Five (5) types of bank stabilization and combinations of techniques are
proposed to stabilize the banks of Reed Creek in Weaver park. The following describes the
use and intentions of each :
1) Brush layering - Brush layering is a technique where tightly configured rows of
live cuttings often black willow (Salix nigra) are placed perpendicular into the bank
with growing tips oriented stream-ward. This technique produces a thick zone of
vegetation along the bank and is often used in areas of high potential velocities and
tractive forces.
2) Fiber Rolls - Fiber rolls are manufactured rolls of fiber (often coconut) and
impregnated with various seed mixtures. Fiber rolls are generally staked into
channel banks and are excellent for protecting bank toes in lower tractive force
environments such as in cross-over reaches.
3) Rock Toe/Joint Planting - This technique involves the use of a combination of
bank protection using rocks and vegetation. The bank face and bank toe are
stabilized with appropriate sized rock material and selected vegetation (containerized
or posts) are interspersed between the rocks and into the bank substrate. This
technique is used typically along banks receiving potentially high velocities and
tractive forces, such as at sharp stream bends and adjacent to roadway culverts. This
0
0
method is proposed along the outer meander of Reed Creek in the vicinity of the
existing pedestrian bridge location.
4) Fiber Matting with Rock Toe and Fiber Roll - This technique is a combination
bank protection with fiber matting and toe protection using either a rock toe or fiber
roll. After the bank is graded, fiber matting is fastened down over exposed surfaces
and planted with stakes, posts or rooted vegetative material. This technique has wide
applications and can be used in along most re-graded streambanks.
4.4 Park Features
To increase public interest and education, the proposed restoration will incorporate the
channel improvements with a pedestrian walkway and associated landscape features (trees
and signage). The goal in incorporating park landscaping is to both educate the public on
the constructed channel restoration and to establish a controlled pathway for pedestrians.
Walkway locations will be situated to provide adequate riparian buffer for the stream and
reduce pedestrian stream impacts. The existing pedestrian bridge will be removed from the
meander location and relocated downstream to a more stable cross-over reach. Signage may
also be developed describing the channel restoration activities and the implemented
stabilization techniques. Additional design considerations include the selection of a re-
vegetation plan to accommodate park safety concerns such as reducing potential thief hiding
areas. Plant species selection, size and spacing will need to be considered during final
design to address these concerns. The Conceptual Plan illustrates that all of these design
features can be incorporated to the benefit of the stream proper and park users. All park
feature designs will be coordinated through the Asheville Parks and Recreation Department.
5.0 PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE
The estimate for construction of the proposed channel improvements along Reed Creek will
primarily be associated with the final selected bank stabilization techniques. Since channel
relocations are minimal and slopes will remain relatively constant, cut and fill quantities will
likely be balanced onsite. Good site access and maneuverability within the park should also
aid in keeping construction costs relatively low. The proposed techniques in the Concept
Plan vary in costs for materials and installation involvement. However, it is estimated that
construction of the proposed Concept Design will range from $197.00-$230.00/linear meter
($60.00-$70.00/linear foot) along the proposed channel centerline.

Dear Mr. Winefordner:
??11?v?q „ 199,
SUBJECT: Buncombe County, Proposed widening of US 74 from I-40 to SR 3136
southeast of Asheville, TIP No. R-2306, State Project No. 8.1841702.
The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen
approximately 6.7 miles of existing US 74 between I-40 and SR 3136 southeast of
Asheville. On February 21, 1996, the N.C. Division of Environmental Management
(DENT) denied the NCDOT's application for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
project. Considerable coordination has taken place since that time to resolve this problem
and obtain the required state authorization for the project. In particular, great efforts have
been made to improve the design of the stream relocation on-site, and a conceptual off-
site stream mitigation plan has been developed.
On November 13, 1996, your agency denied without prejudice the NCDOT's
application for a Department of the Army permit for the project. This action was
precipitated by the denial of the 401 Certification. The November 13, 1996 letter
indicated that several items of additional information would be needed should state
authorization be obtained and the permit file reopened. Although state authorization has
not been obtained, it appears that this may occur in the foreseeable future. Consequently,
the NCDOT has prepared permit drawings showing the complete channel restoration
designs as requested in your November 13, 1996 letter. These drawings depict the stream
relocation as currently shown in the project plans, including boulder placement, rootwad
details, and vortex rock weir placement. There are seven revised drawings, which amend
the drawings included in the NCDOT's letter of July 26, 1996.

The letter of November 9 also mentioned the need fora monitoring plan on
Gashes Creek. This plan is currently being developed by NCDOT's Planning and
Environmental Branch. Details of this plan will be forwarded to you in the near future.
Please continue to review this project for authorization under the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions or need any additional information please call Mr. Gordon Cashin at
[phone] extension 275.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to relocate approximately 1100 linear
feet of stream channel, fill 0.45 acres of wetland and construct or extend two
box culverts to widen US Highway 74 southeast of Asheville, Buncombe County,
North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a
valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
waiver has occurred.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by February 20, 1996, the District Engineer will deem that
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steven Lund, Asheville
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

SiJ :IJEOT: Buricombe County, Proposed widening; cif US 74 from 1-40 to SR 3136
southeast of Asheville, TIP No. R-2306, State Project No. 8.1841702.
The 'North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen
pr. ro,arrately 6.7 mules of e.-fisting US 74 between 1-40 and SR 3136 southeast of Asheville
in L,.incomb;? County. The, preferred alternative with recommended improvements consists
ofiyidening; ih.- existing; cad to a five-lane 64-foot curb and gutter facility combining both
northside and ;outyside widening. A four-lane section is required through the underpass at
the Blue :Ridl;(:- Parkway where lateral clearance is limited. This project will be
acc: mplished in two phases, The first phase is designated as TIP Project No. R-230.6A and
erti;nds from 1-40 to SR 2775. The second phase extends from SR 2775 to SR 3136, and is
des fnated as ':rlP Project 'No. R-2306B.
An application was submitted to your agency on August 10, 1995 for Section 404
authorization f c r the first phase of the project (R-2306A). Your agency responded on
Auittist 25, 1995 with a request for additional information on the second phase of the
pro: ct. Thl?. r..orTesponljence provides the requested information for project R-2306B as
w Al as revised +nformation on R-2306A.
The ae,ond phase of the project (R-2306B) impacts Waters of the United States at
si;; .-)ca6:)ns, summarized on Shect 3 of 10 in the R-23 )06B permit drawings. However,
otll,r two of th-.:se sites involve wetlands. Since all of these sites are located above
hea:i.waters, it is apparent that project R-2306B could be authorized under Nationwide
Pvritt N.D. 26. Plan sheets are enclosed that depict each of the impact sites.
Also allclosed are revised plan sheets for project R-2306A which are based on the
cur,imtly proposed design. Three of the sites which were depicted in the submittal of
August 10, 191)5 have been removed (Sites 15, 16, and 17). One new site has been added
(Site 17A). This has rec.uced the impact of project R-2306A to waters of the United States
from 0.856 a:res to 0.86'4? 1 acres. Impacts to wetlands has remained the same at 0.064
acres.

The,-r.vironmenta] impacts of the entire R-2306 project were evaluated in all
En v ironmen,:a.l Assessment document which was signed by the hederal Highway
Administration on Januar?' 19, 1994. The potential impacts were further reviewed in a
FiEding of No Significant Impact and Programmatic 4(f) document which was signed by the
F cicral Hibltwa; Administration on June 8, 1995. The proposed design of the project
p -e?;ented in tlois application is consistent with the findings of the FONSI document.
The N; NUT's submittal of August 10, 1995 actually included two applications.
Cne was for Section 40.4 authorization to construct project 11-2306A. The second
app'icatiori wts for Nationwide Permit No. 6 authorization to allow preliminary
&!wechnical investigations for project R-2306A. This work is needed in order to complete
fi iti1 plays fcr retaining; wails along; the project. It is imperative that this Nationwide 6
authorizrotiou be granted as soon as possible.
The N;_".DOT hereby requests that you continue to review project R-2306 for 404
p:rrnit authorization. A copy of this information has been provided to the N.C, Wildlife
Re:;ources Coavilission and the N.C. Division of Environmental Management for their

Dear Mr. Winefordner:
SUBJECT: Buncombe County, Proposed widening of US 74 from I-40 to SR 3136
southeast of Asheville, TIP No. R-2306, State Project No. 8.1841702.
The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen
approximately 6.7 miles of existing US 74 between 1-40 and SR 3136 southeast of
Asheville. The NCDOT originally applied to your agency on August 10, 1995 for Section
404 authorization for the first phase of this project. The application was modified and
expanded in a November 1, 1995 submittal which included the entire R-2306 project.
This project has been the subject of much controversy. On February 21, 1996, the
N.C. Division of Environmental Management (DEM) denied the NCDOT's application for
a 401 Water Quality Certification for the project. The denial was based on the DEN/I's
opinion that practicable alternatives exist. The NCDOT believes that it has carefully
considered all alternatives, and consequently has appealed the denial.
A meeting was held in Asheville on May 22, 1996 which was attended by
representatives of the Corps of Engineers, Blue Ridge Parkway, N.C. Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC), U.S. I-ederal Highway Administration, DENT and tile NCDOT.
This meeting was held to resolve issues raised by the agencies in response to the
application. The Blue Ridge Parkway primarily expressed concerns over the landscaping
of the project. These concerns are being resolved through coordination with the Parkway.

2
The design of relocated stream segments was a major topic of discussion. The
NCWRC took the lead in this discussion, and recommended several revisions to the
proposed design. These recommendations are listed in a June 19, 1996 letter to the
NCDOT.
1) Deflectors - The proposed stone deflectors have been removed as the NCWRC
requested.
2) Stabilizinq Outer Meanders - The NCDOT has examined the feasibility of using root
wads to stabilize the outer meanders. Due to high stream velocities, it is not believed that
the root wads would be a feasible option. To stabilize erosion in these areas, the NCDOT
believes that it will be necessary to place rip rap to the top of bank on the outside edge of
meanders.
3) Pools - The NCDOT will investigate the feasibility of constructing pools in the stream
channel. It is likely that the meandering channel will cause pools to develop naturally. It
is also expected that the boulders which will be placed along the bank will create resting
areas for fish.
4) Riprap - The NCWRC requested that the use of riprap be minimized. Consequently,
the NCDOT proposes to use riprap only where it is necessary to prevent erosion. Riprap
will be used on the outside of meanders to the top of bank as already discussed. However,
it will only be used to 1 foot above normal water surface elevation on the inside of
meanders. Riprap will also be placed in front of the soil nail wall to protect the wall from
erosion.
5) Substrate - The NCDO'f believes that it can use natural material as substrate in the new
channel.
6) Woody Ve,-,etation - Native species of trees and shrubs will be planted along the new
channel sections. The vegetation will be placed with the riprap except along the soil nail
wall.
7) Retaining Walls - The NCDOT is willing to stipulate that the contractor must prevent
wet concrete from contacting stream water.
As can be seen in the above list, the NCDOT has attempted to incorporate all
reasonable and feasible methods to make the relocated stream segment as natural as
possible and to minimize erosion. Enclosed you will find revised drawings which depict
3
the current design. Please continue to review this project for authorization under the
Clean Water Act. If you have any questions or need any additional information please call
Mr. Gordon Cashin at [phone], Extension 278.

COMMENTS ON KCI RESTORATION OF REED CREEK, ASHEVILLE - Dave Lenat
6/97
Memos from KCI refer casually to a "review of the literature" on stream
macroinvertebrates, but they listed relatively few references. Some of their comments
suggest a less than complete knowledge of stream ecology. ("Material from the riparian
zone provide particulate matter that is essential to aquatic insect nesting, breeding, and
feeding.").
Some of KCI's conclusions, however, as correct. Stream habitat will be improved by
restoration of riffle-pool sequences, stabilization of banks, and addition of riparian
vegetation. Also correct is the contention that poor water quality will limit the amount of
recovery that is possible in Reed Creek. Urban/suburban catchments usually have Fair or
Poor rating, and this degradation appears to be related more to water quality problems
than to insufficient habitat. Whatever improvements are applied to Reed Creek in
Weaver Park, little or no work will be done to the upstream portion of the stream.
The contention that a more open stream will be more productive is flawed, as Reed
Creek is already too productive. Limited data suggest that this stream already has high
nutrient levels, a hypothesis that is consistent with the urban/suburban land use. The
suggestion that "availability of prey in forested reaches is potentially less abundant and
captured less efficiently by higher order predators" is not applicable to Reed Creek. Note
that greater amounts of shading might also reduce water temperatures, a crucial factor if
we hope to restore trout populations in this stream.

Dear Mr. Kendig:
In mponso to DEHNR's concern on the voluma of particulate matter that would be required to
support a viable macroinvertebrate population, KCI has conducted u roviow of the relevant
literaturo and professional opirtions on this subject. Based on this review it appears that 4
primary factor; of ect the type and quantity of rmacroinveztebrates in a given fluvial systcm.
Thooo are, in descending order of importance; water quality, riffle-pool complexes, subs=to and
streamside vegetation.
When these factors axe applied to the subject project, it is apparent that sufficient biorrr= will I be
generated by the proposed vegotativc plantings to support a healthy Madroinvertebrate
population. Other factors i.e. riffle pool complexes, and substrate are controllable as part of fihe
restoration plan. It therefore, appears that the limiting factor nemeting macroinvertebrate
populations for this project will be water quality, based on prMous water quality studies
conducted on Reed Creek.
The proposed restoration plan will be able to pro-vide sufficient habitat in all of the critical habitat
factors with the exception of water quality. However, as the water quality levels in this Sys(=
improve the rnaeroinvertebrato habitat will be present to accommodate increased populations.

(KCI Job Order No. 1296028E)
A review of studies involving trout stream =Iogy and ma=invertcbrato habitat, as well
as personal discussions with trout stream- ecologists and biologists at both the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and North Ccuohna. Stato Univcmity, reveals
that riparian vegetation is only one of the primary factors that will affect equatio fins ctt
populations. Tbo research clearly supports the coaol=ion that tho prs='
impacting the carrying capacity of a stream for borithic macroixnvertebraics are water
quality, iifflc-pool coinplczcs, subatratc, and aumniaide vtgetation. In order to evaluate
which of these factors may affect aquatic insect habitat within the Weaver PaThis type rk cl of

When an attribute does not meet a critical minimum requitement, it is coasidcred a
limiting factor.
A rcVicw of tho literatmv for each of the primary factors affecting the carrying capacity of

1, Water Quality -13enthlc Mauroinvcnobrato populatiena are highly susceptiblo in both

Weaver Pack site is heavily impactod by urbanization with a combination of
residential, commercial, and institutional land u3e3. The results of a 3-year

restrict the potential for the full devclopmont of rawroinvatebrate populations.
populations that do develop olUn- are composed of loss desirable species i.e. black
flies and midges (Mickey, 1997).
2. Rif ee_pool COmplcxcs - Evidcnt in Recd Creek tyre poorly deemed complcxas which
could bo classificd as extandod pools or nm reaches. The piop08c4 =storatioa plan
calls for minimal lateral chango in eharmal location for the first 152 meters (504 foot)
(Station 0+00 to 5+00) and shifts in tho dowmuoam channcl sections occurring near.
Station 5+25, Ut50, 9+50, and 10+75. These adjustments serve to rn-&Aablish riffle-
pool sequence3 of Reed Creek to spacmi g that is morn consistent to m=roinvertebrate
production, i.e. l S motcr (60 foot) intcrvals.
3. Subatratc - rho channel of Reed Creak is perenninl and is comprised of a substratC
dominated by gravol sized matAnAl. Due to existing bank erosion conditi4ro , some
roaches of Rood-Creek aodu t a bi-modal distribution of sediment (Web P 1?
of finds in addition to gmvel) that is typical of degraded urban. Streams. The existing
substrate composition can be expected to be improved by the eliminatiozt of much of
the sedimentation being caused by bank erosion. The b=k stabilization tcchniques
proposed should eliminate much of tilis sediment introduction and alIrnv tho stz ealn to
rid itccif of much of the existing fine material in the subsu=. Additioztally, the use'
of rock or log suuuctums will increase the bard surf= arcs in the stacam which will'
provide more aquatic insect attach nmt Sites.
Q. Strea aside vegetation - There is little doubt riparian vegetation, and pazticulate matter
specifrally, play a major role in bcathiv macroinvertebrate habitat. There is -Jsa
little doubt that the habitat at Reed Crock can be improved by structural measures and
the re-establishment of riparian vegetation. The proposed restoratioa plan should
accomplisb thin, Howover, it neither appears that stmaribank vegetation will be the
limiting factor in propagating aquatic insects in Reed Creek nor that establishing this
vegetation will prevent other fartots from negatively impacting these insects. The `
research conchuions appear to support the proposed Reed Creek mstoration plans of
placinz the riparian vegetation in layered clumps (combinations of in-stxearn.
structure msscs, shrubs, and trees) and at rotatively opcrt densities, For these
raisons, the establishment of fast-growing grass types suitable to- the soils and
plantings of trees and or shrubs native to the area cart be expected to improve the
insect-holding capacity of the water.

(ICCI Job Order No. 1296028E)
A review of studies involving trout strewn ecology and mp M'41vertebrato habitat, as we11
as porsonal discussions with trout stream. ecologists and biologist$ at both tho North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Corrxmission and North Carolina Stato Univi-avity, revczlr
that riparian vegetation is only one of the primary factors that will affect alquntio insert
populations. Thti research clearly supports the coaolu:d9n that tho prLumy factorg
impacting the earryirtg capacity of a strcauz for bctnthie macroinvertebraics are water
quality, riffle-pool cotnplczcs, substrate, pt,d otr=iaido vegetation. In order to evaluate
which of These factors may affect aquatic insect habitat within the Weavcr PuTk r=b of
Reed Cmok a limitinS-factor analyain (14unttT 1991) Was employA This type of
analy^"is involves evaluating the availability of those basic attributes is a strca m to
dttermino which, if any, does not moot a species' tnttumum requirements for survival.
When an attribute does not meet a critical minimum regttirement, it is cortsidcccd a
limiting factor.
A review of the literatum for each of the primary factors affocting the carrying capacity of
the Std is summarized as follows:
1. Water Quality -13enthlc rrtacroinvcncbrato popttlativna aro highly susceptiblo in both

Optimally, thero should bo a predominance of cobble; and boulders and gravel should
bo common. As this factor is diroctly proportional to the ultimate population of
macrainvertebratm that can colonize a. given reach, its dfstn°butiou in tiro stream is
critical.
4. Streamside vegetation - Thin can defined as the ripaniau Vegetation in the tree, shrub
and herbaceous layer3 adjacent to the stream that provides valuable. fvud, Govrr,
shading, ctrosion control and particulate mattes. Ideally, a. variety of vegetation should
be present in this zone, including rasa, daubs and &-as:.a• Matcriat from this zone
provides . particulate mauer th2t is cssciitial to aquatic insect nesting, breeding and
feeding. rusUc=-Gttuctuzcs and vegetaWon are also important as thty provide points
of rotontion for tho particulate matter Concentrations of sueam5idD debris are focal
points for invortchrate biomam and often contribute a large portion of rho org€anismo
for fish production. The existing researrh also sugg(* that allowing limited clearings
and planting trees and other vegetation in clumps rather than at uniform intervals
offers the potential for increasing trout food production. One study found Mat heavily
shaded streaan reaches support lower densities acrd relativo abundances of aquatic
invertebrates than do areas with open riparian Canopies (hawkins and Stdell 1981).
Forested reaches offer lower abundances of prey, ra rcfiovtion of tho lower quality of
alloehthonous food resources for agpatic illvcrtcbratca (Gregory of al. 1991)_ .
Correspondingly, in respouso to ywwr availability of proy, production 2nd
abundance of rhib inay be greater in reaches that are loss shaded by rho riparian
cauvpy (Murphy ct al. 1981, Tochaplinski ond Hartman 1983). As a result,
availability of prey in forested reaches is potentially less abundant and captuzod Iess
offic'"fitly by Mgber order preditors.
These. primary factor, affecting tho population of ttiacroinvartebrates in the Reed Creek
system have been evaluated as follows:

independent water quality monitoriDZ program in $uncambv Comity recorded high
total phosphorous values in hoed Crcck (hinw, et al. ' 1993). High level3
phosphorous, nutrimits and heavy metals commonly associated with uxban runoff,
restrict the potential for the full devclopmont of maeroinvertebrate populations.

3. Subatrntc - 'Mo channel of Reed Creak is perennial and is comprised of a sub?snte
dominated by gmvol sized material. Due to existing bank erosion conditio ,
roaches of stood Creek cvchibit a bi-modal distribution of sediment (WSh proportions
of Linea in addition to gravel) that is typical of degraded urb2rl ctreasns. The existing
substrate composition can be expected to be improved by die elimination of much of'
the sedimentation bolas caused by bank erosion. The bank stabilig.tion techniques ;
proposed should eliminate much of Us sediment introduction and allow tho strearn to
rid itself of much of the existing fine material in the substrate. Additlortally, the we'
of rock or log structums will increase the hard surfrco area in the stx= whiclx will
provide more aquatic insert attachrnmt sites.
4. Streamside vegetation - There is little doubt riparian ve9et4ti0xt, and pastioulate matter
spcciSaAlly, play a major rota in bcathiv tnacroinvertcbrate habitat. There is 11SO
little doubt that the habitat at Reed Crcck can be improved by structural measures mid
tte re-establishment of riparian vc,70tation. The proposed restoration plan should
accomplisb thin. Howovor, it neither appears that streambank vegetation will be the
lirnitir,g factor in propagating aquatic insects in Reed Creels, nor that establishing this
vegetation will prevent other factors fmm negatively c??ie? 3elc restoration plans of
research conclusions appear to support the propo .
placing the riparian vegetation in layered clumps (combinations of in-st =m .
structures, erase,, shrubs, and tr=) and at rolatively opcm densities. For these
reasons, the establishment of fast-groNving grass types Stti4ible to- the soils and
plantings of trees and or shrubs native to the area can be expected to improve the
insect-holding capacity of the water.

RE: Water Quality Certification - U widening
Mitigation plan review for Reed Creek, Weaver Park, Asheville
Buncombe County
DWQ#
DWQ staff have reviewed the mitigation plan for Reed Creek in Weaver Park. The
following changes to the conceptual plan will need to be made and agreed upon by the City of
Asheville before we can issue a Certification for this project. As discussed in our meeting on 5
June 1997, the final mitigation plan details (e.g., species and sizes of trees to be planted) can be
done at a later time through a condition to the Certification.
1. Shrub planting in the floodplain and buffer: We believe that the mitigation plan should
include planting of shrubs in the floodplain of Reed Creek on at least one side of the stream for its
entire length. As we have discussed, the purpose of this provision would be to ensure that
sufficient organic detritus enters the stream to provide habitat and energy for the restored aquatic
ecosystem. Therefore, plantings of shrubs in addition to those proposed in the conceptual plan
will need to be done on one side of Reed Creek from station 1+50 to 3+75 and 8+00 to 9+25.
The later location should have sufficient shrubs if the "Class E" design is altered to include shrubs.
Also the south side of Reed Creek from station 0+00 to (appx.)5+50 should be planted with
shrubs (possibly evergeen shrubs such as rhododendrons) as agreed upon by the City officials in
our telephone conversation on 5 June 1997..
IT. Monitoring: DOT should agree to conduct pre construction and post construction
macrobenthos and fish monitoring of the creek. Post construction monitoring should be done for
five years. DWQ's standard operating procedures for macrobenthos and fish monitoring should
be followed. Sampling should occur twice a year at two stations.
III. Tree canopy: The goal should be to have canopy closure over the entire stream lengh.
To that end, the trees should be planted on both sides of the channel.

Dear Mr. Vick:

By copy of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources letter to you of February 21, 1996, we have learned that State
authorization under section 401 of the Clean Water Act for you to relocate
1100 linear feet of Gashes Creek and fill 0.05 acres of wetland to facilitate
widening of 6.7 miles of US Highway 74 between Interstate Highway 40 and
Old Fort Road (SR 2776) southeast of Asheville, Buncombe County,
North Carolina, has been denied. Under the administrative rules of our
regulatory program, denial of required State authorization precludes favorable
consideration of a Federal permit. Accordingly, your Department of the Army
(DA) application is hereby denied without prejudice and your file has been
retired.
If you wish to continue to pursue a DA permit, you must obtain the
required State authorization. In the event you obtain the authorization, we
will reopen your permit file and continue to process your application. After
the file is reopened, any issues raised during the public review process will
have to be addressed before a permit can be issued.
In your letters of June 12, 1996 and July 26, 1996, you indicated your
intent to develop naturalized channel relocation plans for Gashes Creek
including the use of soil bioengineering, riffle and pool reconstruction,
replacement of channel substrate and reestablishment of streamside vegetation.
During an onsite meeting of November 7, 1996 with members of your staff, we
reviewed design plans that incorporated most of these elements. With the
addition of a specific vegetation planting plan and somewhat greater
variability in channel bottom geometry, we believe that these designs would
effectively replace the impacted aquatic habitat. Should you pursue a DA
permit for this work, we would require permit plans showing your complete
channel restoration designs. Secondary impacts from construction to the
natural stream channel areas on National Park Service property remain a
concern. Therefore, we would consider conditioning any permit for this work
to require the monitoring of water quality, fisheries and macro invertebrates
before, during and after construction to ensure that aquatic life functions of
Gashes Creek are reestablished.

MEMORANDUM
To: Frank Vick
Planning and Environmental anch
From: John Dom
Division of ter Qua y
Subject: US 74 - Gashes Creek mitigation
Buncombe County
DWQ #961016
As a followup to our meeting with your staff on 7 November, we would like to clarify the current status of
this project and clearly state what is needed from DOT in order to allow DWQ to issue a 401 Certification for
this project. The DWQ will require stream mitigation at a 1:1 length ratio in addition to the revised, on-site
restoration of Gashes Creek. On 7 November 1996, Eric Galamb, Mike Parker and myself attended a field
meeting in Asheville with several DOT staff as well as Corps of Engineers and N.C. Wildlife Resources
personnel to visit several potential stream restoration sites. The purpose of this memo is to provide DOT more
details regarding this stream mitigation requirement to assist you in developing an acceptable mitigation
package.
DOT will need to identify 1100 linear feet of stream to enhance or restore all uses. As discussed in the
field, we would prefer that two or three large suitable sites be located rather than a dozen or so smaller sites.
Also DOT will need to be able to assure us that whatever restoration work is undertaken will remain. In that
regard, fee simple purchase or a conservation easement will be needed to provide that assurance. DOT should
investigate other opportunities within the Gashes Creek watershed first. Should these not be suitable sites for
DOT, then DOT should identify streams within the Swannanoa River watershed that are experiencing non-
point source pollution that may be causing the impairment of uses. Streams targeted by the nonpoint source
team through the basinwide process would be excellent candidate streams.
We urge DOT to identify streams in need of restoration measures such as streambank stabilization,
restoration of wooded buffers, creating of adjacent wetlands, dechannelization, and instream measures such as
vortex weirs. Of the sites we visited, the sites on Gashes Creek at the Texaco and Amoco stations as well as
Ross Creek on Swannanoa River Road are suitable candidate streams. The DOT maintenance facility is not a
suitable location because there will not be sufficient width between the road and stabilized streambank to plant
trees. Finally the installation of weirs in the Swannanoa River itself is not acceptable mitigation for the
impacts to Gashes Creek since the uses provided by these stream systems are very different and similar uses
need to be replaced.
Once you have identified viable and available stream restoration sites, please contact, Mr. Mike Parker of
our Asheville Regional Office so we can confirm their suitability. As discussed with field, NRCS staff may be
useful in identifying potential stream restoration sites.
Please call me or Eric Galamb at 733-1786 if you have any questions concerning this project.

0 1.0 INTRODUCTION
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has conducted a search for 610 meters (2,000
171 [BE feet) of stream channel in need of restoration to satisfy permit requirements for proposed
improvements to Route 74 in Buncombe County. The proposed improvements along Route 74
require the relocation of Gashes Creek, a tributary to the Swannanoa River. As there are present
efforts underway to rehabilitate the relocated section of Gashes Creek onsite, this report presents
the results of an off-site search for 610 meters (2,000 feet) of degraded stream channel in the
Swannanoa and French Broad River watersheds. Streams investigated included those identified in
the French Broad River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan, (May, 1995) (hereafter
referred to as "The Management Plan") as having less than optimal use support ratings.
2.0 GENERAL DISCUSSION
The growth of stream restoration has accelerated from both an increase in awareness of the
importance of river corridors and the failure of previous methods of channel controls (e.g.
dredging, lining, channelizing) (Gore, 1985; Large and Petts, 1994; Palmer, 1994). The inherently
non-uniform flow of natural stream channels creates and maintains a complexity of stream
bedforms such as pools, riffles, and eddies (Newbury, 1995). Efforts to straighten and line
channels (which assumed steady and uniform flow conditions) reduce aquatic habitat and often fail
as the channel revert back to its complex form. For both functional and aesthetic reasons, many
of the straightened and lined channels are targets for restoration. Other restoration target areas
include channels impacted by changes in landuse; often causing an increase in the amount of water
or sediment or both to the channel. Urbanization influences of storm sewers, increased drainage
densities and greater hydraulic efficiencies of channelized segments all increase the hydrograph
peak and the total volume of runoff (Espey et al. 1966; Graf 1977). These flow increases often
result in channel enlargement downstream with initial increases in sediment yields followed by a
decrease as watershed disturbances cease (Graf, 1975; Wolman 1967). The impacts of these
changes are readily apparent in the stream channels draining the watersheds and include: channel
enlargement, incisement, in-stream sediment deposition and bank erosion.
Goals to restore these disturbed channels should consider current watershed conditions.
ITI Restoration efforts attempting to replicate historical channel features may be futile as often the
contributing watershed no longer resembles previous conditions. As such, restoration goals
should be project specific, yet generally strive to develop a natural, self-maintaining system that
will provide an increase in water quality conditions.
3.0 METHODOLOGY
To locate potential reaches for restoration, a review of the French Broad River Basinwide Water
Quality Management Plan, (May, 1995) was conducted. Based on discussions with the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ), restoration for the Route 74 Project should target offsite areas within
the Swannanoa watershed of the French Broad River Basin. Areas of interest to the DWQ for
restoration include channel segments identified in the Management Plan as having non-supporting

or partially supporting uses. According to the Management Plan, subbasin 40302 (basin
sur ounding Asheville) contains a significant portion of the degraded channels within the French
Broad River Basin (Figure 1). Approximately 87 kilometers (54 miles) of the 93 kilometers (58
miles) of non-supporting stream miles and nearly 5010 of the partially supporting stream miles in
the French Broad River Basin are located in subbasin 40302. Based on this, subbasin 40302, and
in particular, streams in the Swannanoa watershed were targeted for this investigation. Using the
management plan and United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangles, these
streams and others in the Swannanoa and French Broad watersheds were investigated. Sites were
visually observed and evaluated for restoration potential based on the following parameters:
1) degree of bed/or bank erosion
2) floodplain encroachment
3) ease of access for construction and monitoring
3) potential educational benefit
4) existing in-stream and riparian habitat
5) safety considerations
6) wetlands/forest disturbance potential
7) public support
8) utilities
9) historic/archaeology issues
10) hazardous waste potential
The review process was conducted by locating potential streams in the Management Plan and/or
on the USGS quadrangles. Streams were visited and a determination was made as to the channels
needs for restoration. Channels which appeared to be of high quality or were determined to be
beyond repair were eliminated from further review. The Management Plan indicated that nearly
60 percent of the impaired freshwater miles in the French Broad River Basin (greater than 70
percent in Subbasin 40302) were caused by sediment. Consequently, streams exhibiting visible
erosion were targeted for this site search. Table 1, Summary of Streams Investigated, lists all
channels investigated during the field reconnaissance and the reasons they were eliminated or
retained for further review. For sites exhibiting restoration potential, a rating scale of 1-5 for each
parameter was used to evaluate channel reaches. The ratings were determined based on best
professional judgement of site conditions and restoration potential. A selection of 5 indicated the
evaluator agreed with the parameter conditions; whereas, a selection of 1 indicated the parameter
was not present or would not be significant if the restoration project was implemented. Use of 2,
3, and 4 indicated slight disagreement (2), close agreement (4) or neutral responses (3) to the
questions. Ratings on historic structures, hazardous waste and utilities should be considered with
caution, as true determinations may only be made with more detailed site analysis. In addition to
these parameters, evaluations were also based on a best professional judgement on the potential
net benefit to the system by implementing 610 meters (2,000 feet) of stream channel restoration.

4.0 RESULTS
Based on the results of the site search, six sites were selected as having the best stream restoration
potential for this Project (Figure 2). In decreasing order of restoration potential, the six channels
are:
Site Score
Site 1- Haw Creek 69
Site 2 - Reed Creek 64
Site 3 - Tributary to North Fork of Swannanoa 59
Site 4 - Tributary to Swannanoa (on State Hospital grounds) 58
Site 5 - Tributary to Swannanoa (near River Mile 16) 56
Site 6 - Flat Creek 52
Total project requirements of 610 meters (2,000 linear feet) of restoration may be obtainable at
either of the first three channel locations (Haw Creek, Reed Creek, and North Fork Tributary). If
any of the last three (Swannanoa tributaries or Flat Creek) are selected, combinations of sites
would likely be necessary to meet the 610 meters (2,000 feet) requirement. A general discussion
of each of the sites as is as follows:

Site 1 - Haw Creek
Haw Creek (a tributary to the Swannanoa River) is located east of Asheville, north of the
Swannanoa River and in the drainage between Piney and Cisco Mountains to west and the Blue
Ridge Parkway to the east (Figure 3). Development, mostly residential (0.1 hectare/quarter acre)
lots), spreads out across the narrow valley floor. Areas of impact to Haw Creek have occurred as
a result of channel encroachment (Mews Apartment complex, athletic field, Haw Creek Road),
channel relocation (athletic field), lack of riparian vegetation and associated bank erosion. These
sections of Haw Creek are concerns for both in-stream aquatic health (potentially reduced by
bank erosion and channel deposition) and to adjacent infrastructure (roadway embankments,
sanitary sewers, development hill slopes).
Though not identified in the Management Plan, the habitat potential of these identified reaches of
Haw Creek appears to be limited. As a potential excessive sediment contributor, Haw Creek may
also be impacting the support status of the Swannanoa River downstream of the confluence.
The restoration potential of Haw Creek is excellent. In addition to the identified problems, the
site has good access, visibility and opportunities for environmental education and one or two key
landowners. A significant portion of the project may be conducted on the East Asheville Youth
Activity, Inc. property.

a Site 2 - Reed Creek
Reed Creek (a tributary to the French Broad River) is located north of Asheville, flowing westerly
from the Biltmore Grove Park Country Club in the east towards the University of North Carolina,
Asheville, just west of the French Broad River (Figure 4). Two sections of Reed Creek have
restoration potential. The first is within Weaver Park east of Merrimon Avenue. Channel impacts
in the park include, bank erosion and floodplain encroachment which are attributable to ground
maintenance activities and urban runoff. Bank erosion has likely occurred as a result of the lack
of riparian vegetation. A pedestrian bridge and associated retaining walls are also reducing
available floodplain and may be increasing the channel erosion process by entrenchment.
The second section of Reed Creek is located west of Merrimon Avenue, parallel to King Road
(also referred to as W.T. Weaver Road). This section of channel is exhibiting typical signs of
urbanization impacts. The channel is eroding its bed and banks producing an over-widened
channel section. This section of Reed Creek is located along the toe of a valley wall to the north
with floodplain areas available to the south towards King Road. A staff gage was observed in this
reach near Barnard Road which indicates monitoring efforts on the channel.
Reed Creek was not identified in the Management Plan. However, the habitat potential of these
identified reaches of Reed Creek appears to be limited. The sediment resulting from channel
erosion is likely impacting Reed Creek and the French Broad River water quality.
Reed Creek has excellent restoration potential. The Park area and visibility of most of the reaches
provide the opportunity for environmental education and public support. Since the majority of the
property containing these reaches is owned by the City of Asheville and UNC Asheville, property
and\or easement acquisition may be less complicated. Access to these reaches for construction is
also excellent.

0 Site 3 - Tributary to North Fork of Swannanoa River
This tributary to the North Fork is located in the upper reaches below the Burnett Reservoir,
southwest of Wallace Mountain, northwest of Allen Mountain and east of Granny Cove (Figure
5). The tributary is located with in a broad valley flat occupied almost entirely by pasture
activities. The tributary observed parallels Wilson Road, south of the junction with North Fork
Road. The channel is exhibiting bank erosion as a result of the pasturing activities.
The section of the North Fork of Swannanoa receiving drainage from this tributary was identified
r7l Fi- in the Management Plan as "Partially Supporting". The erosion observed in the tributary is likely
attributing to the partial support rating.
The advantages of this site for use as stream restoration project include good construction access,
maneuverability, no utilities and the potential for a complete and successful project. Restoration
could be accomplished using relatively low risk methods of bank patching and riparian
establishment. Due to the openness of the site and available sunlight, riparian re-establishment
and bank revegetation should quickly establish. Disadvantages of the site include property
ownership and land mangement changes by the current property owner.

Site 4 - Tributarv to Swannanoa River (State Hospital)
This site is located east of Asheville, west of Black Mountain, and north of Old US Route 70
(Figure 6). The tributaries are located on the State Hospital grounds. Channel impacts include
bed and bank erosion; with some reaches currently stabilized with gabion-like stone walls. With
the exception of a forested patch on the property, the majority of the channels are maintained with
no riparian vegetation.
Restoration measures for this tributary would include primarily bank vegetation re-establishment
with some minor channel re-alignments. It is likely that 610 meters (2,000 feet) of channel

Site 5 - Tributary to Swannanoa River (Grovemont)
This tributary is located east of Asheville (upstream of Mile 16 on the Swannanoa River), west of
the Juvenile Evaluation Center and north of Old US Route 70 (Figure 7). The reaches
investigated are in the lower section of the watershed approximately 300 meters (1,000 feet)
upstream of the Swannanoa confluence. The channel impacts include bank erosion and bed
degradation from pasture activities and in-channel drainage structures.
a Restoration measures for this tributary would include primarily bank vegetation re-establishment
with some minor channel re-alignments. Modifications to or replacement of the current drainage
structure (if structurally failing) would also improve the channel. It is likely that 610 meters
(2,000 feet) of channel restoration are not available at this location. This site however, would be
easily accessible, is visible and could provide the opportunity for environmental education.

SITE 6
FLAT CREEK
?L-

Site 6 - Flat Creek
Flat Creek is located east of Asheville and Black Mountain and comprises the valley occupied by
residents at Montreat (Figure 8). The upper reaches of Flat Creek, in the vicinity of Montreat
College, are steep mountain step-pool streams bordered by Rhododendron thickets. The lower
reaches of Flat Creek are less steep with a wider valley. Reach sections investigated include those
impacted by the development within the valley. Encroachment and associated erosion are the
primary channel impacts. The proximity of the houses and roads to Flat Creek has required
fortification of the channel banks; most of which is likely done by individual landowners.
Restoration measures for Flat Creek would include primarily bank stabilization with some minor
adjustments to channel planform and cross-section (possibly at bridge crossings). The total length
of restoration work in Flat Creek is likely less than 610 meters (2,000 feet). The number of
potential property owners involved is also significant for the project size. This site however,
would be easily accessible, is visible and with it's proximity to a private College (Montreat
College) would likely be supported and provide the opportunity for environmental education. Flat
Creek was listed in the Management Plan as "Partially Supporting". Restoration of these lower
reaches may improve the biological ratings towards a supporting system.

MEMORANDUM
TO: H. Franklin Vick, P.E., Manager
Planning and Environmental Branch, NCDOT
FROM: Franklin T. McBride, Manager
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: November 21, 1996
SUBJECT: Additional comments regarding the relocation of Gashes Creek associated with the widening of
US 74 between I-40 and SR 2776, Buncombe County, TIP #R-2306A-B.
This correspondence responds to a request that Mr. Tom Kendig of your staff made during an on-site
meeting that Ms. Stephanie Goudreau of our staff attended on 7 November 1996. Representatives of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ), and Federal Highway Administration also
attended the meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss further the proposed relocation of Gashes Creek in order for the
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to obtain 401 and 404 permits for this project. As you
know, these permits were denied by the DWQ and the Corps based on NCDOT's original proposal for stream
relocation.
Apparently the NCDOT is now proposing to relocate Gashes Creek in a manner that will enhance aquatic
habitat and compliment the stream's geomorphology. Some of the measures proposed include incorporating
meanders into the design, installing vortex rock weirs to mimic the existing riffle pattern, minimizing the use of
riprap, using natural substrate in the new channel, constructing a thalweg throughout the new channel, and planting
woody vegetation along the new channel.
At the request of the DWQ, the NCDOT is also considering incorporating off-site mitigation into the
project. Specifically the DWQ indicated that they will reevaluate the 401 denial if the relocation of Gashes Creek is
accomplished as described above in addition to enhancing or restoring 1100 feet of stream channel elsewhere. This
could be done on other sections of Gashes Creek or on a degraded stream in the same watershed. One possibility
would be Cane Creek in the nearby area of Fairview. This stream is Hatchery Supported Designated Public
Mountain Trout Water.
We look forward to reviewing these proposals if the NCDOT decides to submit them to the DWQ and the
Corps as modifications to the 401 and 404 permit applications. Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with
these comments. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Stephanie Goudreau at 704/652-4257.

Your application for a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Clean
Water Act was received by the Division on 14 December 1995. The activity for which the
Certification is sought is to relocate 1100 linear feet of stream channel of Gashes Creek and
fill 0.05 acres of wetland to facilitate widening of 6.7 miles of US 74 between I-40 and SR
2776. A Water Quality Certification is a determination by the Division that the activity for
which the federal permit or license is sought is not expected to result in a violation of state
water quality standards for the waters of the state.
After several thorough, on-site inspections of your property, my staff has determined
that existing uses are present in the waters for which you have requested a certification.
These uses include aquatic life habitat. As provided by 15A NCAC 2B .0109, the 404(b)(1)
Guidelines are used as guidance in determining if a proposed project will remove the existing
uses of a water. In accordance with these guidelines, the Division has determined that you
have not demonstrated that practicable alternatives do not exist for your project since there
has been no demonstration that the proposed project cannot be constructed in an upland area.
Namely, we believe that the road could be widened toward the historic property (sheet 9 of
28 in permit application dated 1 November 1995) rather than into Gashes Creek. Also
questions asked concerning stream relocation details in our 1S August 1995 letter copied to

Mr. Vick
Tom Kendig were not address.-d in the FONSI. Therefore I am hereby notifying you that the
subject project would result in a violation of 15A NCAC 2B .0201(b). Therefore, in
accordance with 15A NCAC ?H .0504(e), I have determined that the 401 Water Quality
Certification for this project shall be denied.
If this denial is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing
upon written request within sixty (60) days following receipt of this denial. This request
must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447,
Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made, this denial shall be final and
binding. Finally, we are available to further discuss modification to your proposal which
would answer our objections and allow issuance of a 401 Certification.
If you have any questions concerning this denial, please contact Mr. John Domey in
the Water Quality Planning Branch of this Division at [phone].
Sincerely,
I

Memorandum
To: Preston Howard
Through: John Dorn
From: Eric Galamb )
Subject: Alternatives Comparison for US 74
Gashes Creek
Buncombe County
The Department of Transportation (DOT) developed four
widening alternatives for US 74 between I-40 and SR 3136. The
FONSI quantified the impacts to the human and the natural
resources. DOT's preferred alternative (alt. #1) impacts Gashes
Creek whereas DEM's preferred alternative (alt. #3) impacts a
portion of the B.K. Miller property. The table below only
compares these two alternatives.
Impacts Alternative 1 Alternative 3

Historic

only Baker property Miller and Baker impacted
but neither structure
taken
Soil Retaining Wall 360 ft x 42 ft none
Residential
Relocations
11
2
Channel Change 800 ft none
Cost $3.4 million $2.7 million
DOT applied for a 401 Water Quality Certification for
Alternative 1 improvements to US 74 in Buncombe County. The
Division has determined that the proposed alternative would
remove significant uses in Gashes Creek.
A map showing the two alternatives is attached.
