Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and Updated 11/1/2005 Page 9 of 13 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 Page 10 of 13 Not annlicable. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are willing to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://www.nceep.net/~ages/inlieureplace.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A IX.

Monday, March 12, 2007 ~7064T Mrs. Cyndi Karoly NCDWQ 2321 Crabtree Blvd. Suite 250 Raleigh, NC 27604 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 ~~ J. Kevin Yarnell Stormwater Division Director t~ r~~. ~, ~_ ` ~, ~.
