DOT Bryson City, NC 28713 Dear Mr. Styles: You have our approval to place fill material in 0.01 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of upgrading SR 1492, as you described in your application dated 5 February 1996 . After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2735. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number 031 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

GAP= JR- SECRETARY The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1492, Blake Branch Road in Jackson County. In order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, and due to the proposed pipe extensions and replacement of pipe culverts along two unnamed tributaries of Blake Branch (DEM Class C), we are requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. I am sending a straight line diagram with our proposed erosion control construction limits at various sites along the project. In addition a drawing for each pipe culvert extension and replacement, general notes and standards on erosion control measures, and a marked county map are enclosed. We propose to install the new culverts along the existing streambed elevation where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impact to wildlife habitat and allow the existing gradients to remain as unchanged as physically possible. The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to ensure sedimentation and erosion are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with better devices. The rock silt screen will be in place prior to pipe construction and will remain in place until the project is stabilized. By copy of this letter I am asking Mr. David Yow, North Carolina Resources Commission, District Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide permit request. M; Mr. Bob Johnson Page 2 January 29, 1996 Also by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization to proceed under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act from Division of Environmental Management. In addition, I am asking Mr. Yow, Mr. Ed Ingle, Area Roadside Environmental Engineer, (NC DOT) and Mr. Richard Phillips.. (DEHNR?to comment directly to me concerning this permit request. We would like to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please advise. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated. Yours truly, C. R. Styl E.

It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched and supported by steel posts. The silt fence reduces the water flow while retaining the sediment. They may also be used to divert water flow to protected outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant rainfall to ensure there effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall not be installed across streams, ditches, or waterways. AREAS of USE: At toe of fill sections where sediment runoff can be stored and contained inside the project limits.

These type-B rock silt checks help reduce the flow velocity and are generally made of class-B stone. They are used in ditches during construction where the grade meets and/or exceeds 3%. AREAS OF USE: • In channels, roadside ditch outlets, temporary silt ditches, and temporary diversions. • In conjunction with type-B silt basins. DESIGN CRrrERIA: • Center of rock silt check shall be at least 1 foot lower than the outer edges (top of channel sides) • The spacing (ft.) = (3 / % of ditch grade) X 100 ft. 27 March, 1992 -!ice • • .. -• .. , . ?. .... ? of ? w.^!!' . v W o a 0 J -? _ N O = O F- U a O c LL H ? 0 0 a 0 I V z L?l Q?-' Z • W `.'. > ' z U .

This device can also be used around the inlet of temporary slope drains where space is limited at the outlet end of slope drain such that a basin or other device can not be used. AREAS OF USE: At inlets to pipes no larger than 24 inches in diameter where it receives flow from several directions. • In low flow areas where right of way is limited.
