APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Martin Bolick
N.C. Dept. of Transportation
P.O. Box 1460
Boone, NC 28607
Dear Mr. Bolick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to excavate 0.02
acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of paving at SR 1197, as you described in your application dated 30 May
1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3100. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number 031 when it is issued by
the Corps of Engineers. 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. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit
expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified
below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new 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 in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. Sediment and erosion control measures
shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds (T 15A:04B .0024).
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.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Chapin:
The Department of Transportation is scheduled to grade, drain, base, and pave
SR 1197, Mack Johnson Road, in Avery County when the necessary permits are
obtained. This project will require replacing a 48" CMP with a 48" CMP which carries an
unnamed tributary to Plumtree Creek. Plumtree Creek has the DEM classification,
WS-III Tr. Due to the proposed work, we are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit.
I am sending a joint application form, typical roadway section, straight line sketch
with the proposed erosion control, notes on pipe installation, general notes on erosion
control, and a marked county map.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Ms. Stephanie Goudreau, Mt. Region Biologist
Coordinator to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting a 401 Certification from the Division of
Environmenjal Management for this project.
We would like to begin construction when the necessary permits are obtained. If
additional information is required, please let me know. Your early review and
consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Martin L. Bolick
District Engineer

General Notes on Erosion Control
Silt Basin Type B's will be constructed to the dimension of six feet by three feet
by three feet unless otherwise noted on the plans.
Where slope protection treatment is required, Section 868 and Section 1042 of
the 1995 Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures will be followed. Any
material obtained from the project must be clean before being placed.
Generally, the order of installation of the erosion control measures will be as
follows:
Temporary Silt Basins shall be installed before clearing and
grubbing begins.
Silt Fences and Temporary Silt Ditches shall be installed after clearing
and before grading.
Temporary Stone Ditch Checks shall be installed as soon as
ditchline is established.
Pipe Outlet and Inlet Protection` will be done as soon as the pipe is.
installed.
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be
implemented as soon as practical.
Pipe Installation
1. Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screens will be used and installed prior to pipe replacement or any work
being done to channel.
2. Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as possible,
material and sediment from entering a stream and/or escaping from project.
3. Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as possible,
material and sediment from entering a stream and/or escaping from project.
Where possible, new grade will be below existing stream bed. If needed,
bedding material will be clean stone.
4. Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5. Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also, complete
installation of erosion control measures and perform maintenance as needed
on existing measures.
6. f Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
7. Remove rock silt screens as soon as possible after vegetation is established.
Prior to removal of rock silt screens any accumulated silt must be removed.
