DWQ Project No. 041807
NCSR 1425 (Phillips Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.E.
Division Engineer

Post Office Box 3279
Asheville, North Carolina 28802
Dear Mr. Swain:
QNc??odR-_3 p
DEC 0 6 2004
ft'lLMAND ASTOTERIM& ER
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 10 linear feet of
Feds Branch and 60 linear feet of four (4) unnamed tributaries to the Cane River (70 linear feet of new pipe and temporary
dewatering) in order to make improvements to NCSR 1425 (Phillips Road) in Yancey County. The project must be
constructed in accordance with the application dated November 4, 2004 (received November 8, 2004), including the
environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this
fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 33. In addition, you must 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 valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and submit 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 the
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 211 .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. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.

d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
2. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the
impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable.
If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Quality has released the project.
4. The NCDOT shall use Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT August 2003) and
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B .0124 (a)-(e)]. Measures
should be implemented and maintained on the project site to avoid impacts to downstream aquatic resources.
Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of ground disturbing
activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control matting should be used in conjunction with
appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with
staples, stakes or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the
construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction.
5. Stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for
the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing
vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater diffuse flow.
6. Culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of their size to
allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch diameter or larger should be buried at least 12 inches below
the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established in the culvert following installation
and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to
meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and
re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible.
7. Removal of vegetation at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams should be minimized. Native trees and shrubs
(e.g. Rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be
planted along the streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control in the vicinity
of the road crossing and along the streams within dedicated rights of way.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the culverts, should not be modified by widening
the stream channel or reducing the stream depth. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural
geomorphic conditions.
9. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the streambank below the high water mark, and
vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water elevation.
10. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and to reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
11. 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.
12. Excavation of the stream crossings and relocations should be conducted in the dry, if possible. Sandbags, cofferdams,
flexible pipe or other diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
13. If concrete is used during culvert installation (e.g., headwalls), a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct
contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be
discharged to surface waters due to the potential for fish kills and possible toxicity to other aquatic life.
14. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
strictly prohibited.
15. 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. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life, and disturbance of the natural form
of the stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possibly affecting other landowners.
16. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking movement of aquatic
life.

17. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with culvert conditions.
18. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions (below bankfull).
19. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form
to notify the 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 Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality upon completion of the project. The NCDOT is strongly advised to send in photographs upstream and
downstream of each structure to document correct installation.
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, 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 or Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Pennock:
I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14 and NWP #33, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed project on SR 1425,
Phillips Road, Yancey County, NC.
Phillips 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 moderate.
>. ;i -0
Y'
KZ-111
We propose to extend four existing culverts and to install one additional culvert. The
streams are approximately 1- 3 feet wide with riffle/pool habitats, gravel/sand substrate,
and bed/bank features. Total culvert extensions and installation will be 70 linear feet.
No stream relocation will be performed for the project. Existing channel morphology
will be maintained upstream and downstream of the culvert. The culverts will be placed
below existing streambed elevation. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along
disturbed areas associated with the culvert extension and installation. Stormwater will be
diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams.
No effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their habitats is
anticipated. The culvert replacements and installation are located approximately 250 feet
north of the Cane River, a known location for the Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonta
reveneliana). The proposed project contains minimal instream work consisting of
extending four culverts on Feds Branch and three Unnamed Tributaries of the Cane River
and the installation of one culvert on an Unnamed Tributary of the Cane River.

VIII. Mitigation - N/A
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.
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
hqp:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strtngide.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.

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.
