APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. C.R. Styles, P.E., District Engineer
NCDOT
P.O. Drawer 250
Bryson City, NC 28713
Dear Mr. Styles:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
10 linear feet of Tuckasegee River in order to upgrade SR 1579 (Snowshoe Trail) in Jackson County.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated 20 September 2001
(received October 9, 2001). After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3289 corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or
local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will,expire
with the accompanying §404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality 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 in writing, and you may be required
to send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this
Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre or if stream impacts exceed 150
linear feet, 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.
1. Stormwater must be directed to buffer areas or retention basins and must not be routed directly
into streams.
2. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 413 .0024)
must be implemented prior to any ground-disturbing activities to minimize impacts to
downstream aquatic resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be planted
on all bare soil within 10 days of ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion
control.
3. All culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the
streambed). Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of
culvert extensions. Culverts shall be installed one foot below the stream to allow for fish and
other wildlife movement.
4. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.

919-733-1786 (phone), 919-733-6893 (fax), http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/
5. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and
maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or
other toxic materials.
6. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances shall
rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of
this permit, except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts.
7. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed in order to utilize it for storm water sheet flow.
8. Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization is to be minimized; rather, native vegetation is to be planted
when practical. If necessary, rip-rap must be limited to the stream bank below the high water
mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water.
Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the 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 that conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Ms. Cynthia Van Der Wiele at 919-733-9646
or Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.251.6208.

Regulatory Branch
151 Patton Avenue, Room 208
Asheville, NC 28801-5006
Dear Mr. Lund:
SECRETARY
()11462
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to grade, drain, base and
pave primarily along the existing roadway of SR 1579, Snowshoe Trail in Jackson County. In
order to construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, and the
relocation/extension of one (1) pipe culvert in an unnamed tributary to Tuckasegee River(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 and construction
limits at various sites along this project. In addition, a typical section of the road, drawings for
the culvert relocation/extension in the unnamed tributary to the Tuckasegee River, general notes
and standards on erosion control measures, and a marked County Map are enclosed. We
propose to install the new culvert slightly below the existing stream bed elevation where bedrock
is not encountered to minimize impact to Wildlife habitat and allow the existing stream gradient
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 controls are being effectively controlled. If the planned
devices are not functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with better devices.
The silt fences and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to pipe installation and will
remain in place until the project is stabilized.

TEMPORARY SILT FENCE:
A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of a fill section to prevent off-
site sedimentation. 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.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
Material
Fabric
Steel posts length
Post spacing
With Wire
Type 3 Class A

SILT BASIN TYPE-B:

A silt basin type-B is a temporary basin built to collect sediment flowing through a
drainage way. The silt basin is built at the base of the ditch with its length being at
least 2 times the width of the basin. The type-B silt basin is generally built in
conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices that control or slow
down water flow. This device must be monitored closely and cleaned out on a
regular basis until grass is established along the ditch line and sedimentation is no
longer a problem.
AREAS OF USE:
• In conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices used in
drainage ditches.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Width - variable
• Length - 2 times width
• Depth - 2 ft. minimum storage - 1800 cubic feet/acre (equals L x W x D)

A rock pipe inlet protection type-A is a horseshoe shaped structure with a
of the structure. The type built-in
sediment storage area around the outside perimeter
rock pipe inlet protection shall be used at pipe inlets no larger than 36 inches in
diameter where it is receiving flow from several directions. The type-A rock pipe
inlet protection utilizes class-B stone lined with T#5 or TTf57 stone to protect drainage
pipe structures by trapping sediment before it enters. They have a sediment storage
pit which is designed by the same procedures as a silt basin.
AREAS OF USE:
• At inlets to pipes no larger than 36 inches in diameter where it receives flow
from several directions.
• In areas where it can be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Structural stone - class-B stone
• Sediment control stone - rr5 or n57 stone
• Sediment storage area - 1800 cubic ft./acre
• Dam height - 3 ft. minimum

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
A
A rock silt screen is a low-level dam structure to be used in streams below culvert
sites. Rock silt screens shall be used to trap sediment transported by running water
and shall be placed in the stream below the construction site within the right-of-
way or easement boundary. The rock silt screen utilizes class B stone lined with rr5
or rr57 stone to produce a ripple-effect in the stream to settle the larger sediment
particles transported in the stream from the construction site. The trapped sediment
shall be cleaned out before the device is removed from the stream.
AREAS OF USE:
• In live streams below construction sites where construction occurs in or
adjacent to the stream.
• In live streams below a culvert construction site.
• Where it can be cleaned before it is removed from stream.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
Structural stone - class B stone
Sediment control stone - rr 5 or '"' 57 stone
Dam height - 1.5 ft. minimum and 3 ft. maximum ( shall not be higher than
1 ft. above normal flow of stream)
