All,
Beth Miratsky has withdrawn her request for Department of Army authorization to conduct stream bank stabilization on
the Tuckasegee River (see below). The site is at 1465 Hyatt Creek Road in Ela, Swain County, NC. The coordinates are
35.45217 N, 83.39732 W. Per Ms. Miratsky's statement, the Corps is withdrawing her request for utilization of NWP 13.
Therefore, the Corps is ending its request for coordination/consultation under ESA Section 7 with FWS and under NHPA
Section 106 with SHPO and THPOs for this project. Corps Action ID SAW-2015-02114.
Have a good weekend

The process is too difficult for the average person, such as myself, to complete. Therefore, we have decided to walk
away from the bank preservation and stabilization project

Ms. Miratsky,

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources (DWR) issues 401
Water Quality Certifications for any federally permitted project that involves an impact to waters of the
US. Your proposed streambank stabilization project will require a 401 Water Quality Certification. The
application review fee is to process the 401 Water Quality Certification request. Once the fee is
submitted, it will not be refunded. You have two options with regard to submittal of the review fee:
1. You may pay the fee and DWR will begin our review of the application. Our regulatory
jurisdiction does not include cultural/archeological resources. If you've satisfied DWR's
requirements, we can issue a 401 Water Quality Certification approval regardless of the results
of the cultural/archeological resource evaluation. However, you would still need the US Army
Corps of Engineers' (USACE) approval to proceed with the project.
You may wait to pay the fee until the USACE's cultural/archeological resource request is
adequately addressed. Until the fee is paid, your project will remain on hold with DWR. We will
not begin reviewing or take any other action on the project until the fee is received.
Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss further.

Mr Brown
This fee request makes no sense while we are working to rest the culture opposition to
the project?
