WQ Project 02-0392
Madison County
I have reviewed the 401 Certification Application for the proposed
grading and paving of NCSR 1338, Wildes Branch Road, in Madison County. An''
on-site visit was conducted on April 1, 2002, and it was determined that
additional information is needed before a 401 Water Quality Certification
can be issued. The stream, Wild Branch, Class C waters, is located within
the road right of way and parallels the existing road from approximately
Station. 10+.10 to-Station 15+30 and from Stat- an-? 16+90~-ta .Stat'ion •23+52:
The application did not indicate how these stream sections would be
protected during road construction.
It is requested that you look at these sites and provide the
necessary information' regarding these stream impacts. Also, by copy of
this letter was are asking the Corps of Engineers to place this project on
hold and this project will be placed on hold for our processing due to
incomplete information (15A NCAC 2H .0507 (h)).

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 1338, Wildes Branch Road
State Project No. 6.862288 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Madison County, NC
Dear Mr. Lund:
I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed project on SR 1338, Wildes
Branch Road, Madison County, NC.
Wildes Branch Road is currently a 12-14 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways
plans to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be
light.
We propose to extend two existing culverts on Wild Branch. Total culvert extensions
will be 64 linear feet. No stream relocations will be performed for the project. Existing
channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the culverts. The
culverts will be placed below existing streambed elevation. Riparian vegetation will be
reestablished along disturbed areas associated with the culvert extensions. Stormwater
will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams.
No significant effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their
habitats is anticipated.
By copy of this letter, we request Owen Anderson, North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission Mountain Region Coordinator, to comment directly to the Corps concerning
the permit request.

Mr. Steve Lund

Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
? wetlands
installation of
Page 5 of 8
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
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/Incwetlands/strm%4ide.html.
1. 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.

Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required

1 3
2 1.5
Total
* Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Page 7 of 8
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
The existing compacted gravel roadway acts as an impervious surface. Paving of the roadway
should eliminate sedimentation from fines associated with gravel surface treatment. The
roadway surface will be 40% of right of way acreagLe. Stormwater will be diverted through
settling basins or grass lined buffers prior to entering the streams.
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No X
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No X
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
With regard to hazardous spill basins the road is not classified as an arterial route, therefore
hazardous spill basins are not required

EROSION CONTROL PLAN S.BEET
Silt fences and temporary silt ditches shall be installed after clearing and
before grading.
Temporary stone ditch checks shall be installed as soon as ditch-line is
established.
Pipe outlet and inlet protection will be done as soon as the pipe is installed.
Silt basins (Type B) will be constructed to the dimension of nine feet by
three feet by two feet unless otherwise noted on plans. (See SB-9 on
dimension sheet)
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be
implemented as soon as practical.
Temporary rock silt checks (Type B) will be spaced as required by percent
of grade.
PIPE PiSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screens will be used.
2) Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as possible,
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from the
project.
3) Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping
from the project. Where possible, new grade will be below the existing
streambed. 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) Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
