constructed, except as authorized as indirect impacts, to maintain low flows to
sustain the movement of aquatic species.
17. Prohibitions on Concrete: The Permittee shall take measures necessary to
prevent live or fresh concrete, including bags of uncured concrete, from coming
into contact with any water in or entering into waters of the United States. Water
inside coffer dams or casings that has been in contact with concrete shall only be
returned to waters of the United States when it no longer poses a threat to
aquatic organisms (concrete is set and cured).
18. Culverts:
a. Unless otherwise requested in the application and depicted on the approved
permit plans, culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter shall be buried at
least one foot below the bed of the stream. Culverts 48 inches in diameter
and less shall be buried or placed on the stream bed as practicable and
appropriate to maintain aquatic passage, and every effort shall be made to
maintain existing channel slope. The bottom of the culvert shall be placed at
a depth below the natural stream bottom to provide for passage during
drought or low flow conditions. Culverts shall be designed and constructed in
a manner that minimizes destabilization and head cutting.
b. Measures shall be included in the culvert construction/installation that will
promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. The
dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a culvert or
pipe shall not be modified by widening the stream channel or by reducing the
depth of the stream in connection with the construction activity. The width,
height, and gradient of a proposed opening shall be such as to pass the
average historical low flow and spring flow without adversely altering flow
velocity. Spring flow should be determined from gauge data, if available. In
the absence of such data, bankfull flow can be used as a comparable level.
c. The Permittee shall implement all reasonable and practicable measures to
ensure that equipment, structures, fill pads, work, and operations associated
with this project do not adversely affect upstream and/or downstream
reaches. Adverse effects include, but are not limited to, channel instability,
flooding, and/or stream bank erosion. The Permittee shall routinely monitor
for these effects, cease all work when detected, take initial corrective
measures to correct actively eroding areas, and notify this office immediately.
Permanent corrective measures may require additional authorization by the
Corps.

altered and Culverts 1 and 9 shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement during
low flows. The dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a pipe or culvert shall
not be modified by widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream in connection
with the construction activity. The width, height, and gradient of a proposed culvert shall be such as
to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow without adversely altering flow velocity. [15A
NCAC 0 2 H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)].
Placement of culverts 1 and 9 shall be below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts
with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20%of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter
less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life.
If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic the existing stream cross
section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where
appropriate. Widening the stream channel shall be avoided.
If bedrock is discovered during construction, then DWR shall be notified by phone or email within 24
hours of discovery.
The establishment of native woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
shall be used where practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening methods.
14. Application of fertilizer to establish native planted/seeded vegetation within disturbed riparian areas
and/or wetlands shall be conducted at agronomic rates and shall comply with all other Federal, State
and Focal regulations. Fertilizer application shall be accomplished in a manner that minimizes the risk
of contact between the fertilizer and surface waters. [15A NCAC 02B .0200 and 15A NCAC 02B .0231]
