SR 1574 (Chastain Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. Wesley T. Grindstaff
NCDOT Andrews District Office
P.O. Box 1551
Andrews, NC 28901
Dear Mr. Grindstaff:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
11 linear feet of Martin Creek in order to improve SR 1574 (Chastain Road) in Cherokee County.
The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated March 12, 2002
(received March 15, 2002). 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 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 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. The pipes required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profile is 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 each
culvert. The culvert shall be installed one foot below the stream to allow for fish and other
wildlife movement. If the existing pipe is perched, it shall be removed and replaced, and installed
correctly.
2. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
3. 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.

4. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must
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.
5. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed in order to utilize it for storm water sheet flow.
6. 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.
7. Rock silt screens at culvert outlets shall be removed at project completion.
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 919.733.5715

Subject: Proposed widening and paving of SR 1574, Chastain Road near Murphy,
NC, Cherokee County.
State Project No. 6.912404 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Dear Mr. Hendrix:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen and
pave SR 1574, Chastain Road, in Cherokee County. This proposal entails widening the
existing gravel roadway to meet NCDOT secondary road standards and the paving of two
nine feet travel lanes with BST asphalt. Due to this proposed widening, one existing
corrugated metal pipe carrying a live stream will have to be replaced with a longer
section of pipe to facilitate the additional road widths. NCDOT is requesting permission
to replace this existing pipes ( 48" CMP) during the construction process.
The proposed widening and paving of SR 1574 has been identified as a necessary
maintenance and safety improvement. Funds have been allocated for this project, and
NCDOT would like to perform these activities sometime during the summer months of
2002.
I am attaching details of the site where will propose to be in conflict with the stream. I
am also attaching a vicinity map as well as a USGS map with this site shown and its
coordinates listed. We propose to install the new culvert slightly below the existing
streambed elevations where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impacts to wildlife
habitats and allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as is physically
possible. No threatened or endangered species are known to be present in or near the
project area; therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated from project construction.

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 be immediately replaced
with better devices. The rocksilt screens and other erosion control devices will be in
place prior to pipe culvert construction and will remain in place until the project is
stabilized.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
In order to widen and pave SR 1574 in Cherokee County, it will be necessary to impact
waters of the United States in the Hiwassee River Basin. Specifically, NCDOT is
requesting to replace one corrugated metal pipe in an unnamed tributary to Martin Creek
(Class Q. Listed below is a summary of proposed impacts.
Station Existing
Condition Proposed

CMP 11' x 48" CMP

Permits Requested
NCDOT is hereby requesting authorization under NWP 14 and Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act to proceed with the construction project outlined above. By copy of this letter,
I am asking Mr. Owen Anderson, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) Western Mountain Region Coordinator, to comment directly to you
concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit Request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization to proceed under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act from the Division of Environmental Management (Please charge all
necessary fees from this project to the Project No. indicated in the subject line).
Again, we would like to proceed with this project during the 2002 summer months. If
you require additional information, please contact me at 828.321.4105. Your early

techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
NCDOT has requested to replace one nine on this proiect. This replacement is necessary
To accommodate the additional width that is planned for the road, and no unnecessary placement
Of streams in pipes is proposed. This pipe will be placed below the streambed to allow for
Natural flow and all necessary erosion control devices will be installed to prohibit sedimentation.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
