DWQ is unable to review this project without noted or corrected impacts reflected. On page 8
of the application it reflects 100 linear feet of stream impact; however, on page 9, item #6
reflects 320 linear feet of stream. Please correct so both areas agree with correct impact
figures.
^ Lack of permitting fee. Please note that beginning January 1, 1999, the N.C. General
Assembly passed legislation requiring payment of a fee for x11401 applications. The fee for
applications is $200 for projects impacting less than an acre of wetland and less than 150
linear feet of streams. For projects impacting one or more acres of wetland or 150 or more
feet of streams, the fee is $475.
^ Incorrect permitting fee amount. Please see above item. Your check # for $
is herein enclosed for fee correction. DWQ does not retain any payment unless it is in the
correct amount.
^ A request for a modification of an issued permit requires re-submission of five (5) application
sets and appropriate fee. We have herein returned your modification request.
^ Application was missing pages or sections of information. See Other section below.
^ DWQ is making the suggestion that all associated project maps be submitted as a PDF file on
a CD in addition to two (2) paper copies. DWQ does require five (5) sets of the PCN
application.
^ OTHER:
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters
or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not
authorized (at this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Ian McMillan or me at 919-733-1786 if you have
any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter. /~

financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. This is not a new
development; therefore, no new drainage is being routed to this area. All proposed impacts are
for stabilization and restoration. Drainage alternatives are constrained by existing homes,
roadways and utilities. If existing stream banks were laid back to decrease erosion (instead of
being_relocated as proposed), significant storm events would encroach further toward existing
house foundations. If concrete lining were not proposed in bottom 3" of new swale, stabilization
would be prolonged indefinitely. All proposed drainage ways will be dug in the dry, with water
routed around them until all banks are stable and concrete lining is cured. Sedimentation and
pollution will be kept to a minimum.
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.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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 (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
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.
Updated 11/1/2005

RE: TOWN OF NASHVILLE DRAINAGE
Cyndi,
Thank you for reviewing our permit for the Nashville Drainage Project. For several years now,
the adjacent landowners have complained about constant flooding of their property. The Town
Council has approved for work to be done to try and relieve the pressure that these citizens
undergo during storm events. The attached pictures show the erosion and surrounding
problems in this area. The land owners continually complain of having to repair side slopes and
the ditches continually silt in making drainage problems even worse. The Town of Nashville
would like to go in and perform the work as shown on the enclosed plan. Removing the 18"
pipes and installing an open channel will provide storage during a rain event and can also more
adequately carry the anticipated flows. The curb and gutter shown will help reduce the road
embankment from continually needing repair and potentially washing out during a major storm
event. The homeowner wishes to have the ditch/stream moved as far away from his house as
possible to help reduce the proximately of flood waters when they occur. In our opinion, we feel
that this plan addresses the concerns of the adjacent landowners and the Town as practible as
possible.
If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact my office.
Sincerely,
Stocks Engineerin PA
