This concerns the subject dam recently repaired pursuant to Approval to Repair dated July 11,
2011, as required by the Dam Safety Law of 1967. Record Drawings were received on January
20, 2012. The engineer's certification was received on.January 23, 2012. The dam was certified
by Mr. David Odom, PE. An inspection of this dam was made by Land Quality.Section staff of
the Asheville Regional Office on January 31, 2012. Prior to granting of approval to impound,
additional information or revision is requested for the following items:
1. As part of your as -built submittal, please provide a written summary and representative
photographs of the work performed that is not now observable. This work includes:
• Filling of the existing 24-inch principal spillway pipe with non -shrink grout. Please
provide verification of the grout mixture that was used.
• Installation of the seepage diaphragms on both the existing and new principal spillway
conduits.
• Installation of the, new toe drain.
Please include in the written summary a discussion of the -aspects of final construction that
differ from the approved repair plans.
2. In light of the engineer's assertion that all final elevations, topographic contours, and
dimensions are identical to those on the approved• repair -plans, please clarify whether a
post -construction survey of the subject dam was performed that confirms this assertion.
The permanent siphons were installed differently..;than shown on the approved plans. As .
installed, they discharge to an area of fill that would be highly erosive -if the siphons were
activated. Please provide a design for installation of outlet protection -to serve the siphon

outlets. The design must include adequate construction details and design calculations and
be reflected. in the as -built plan drawings once installed.
4. _ The profile of the siphon installation on Sheet 6 of 7 indicates that the siphons discharge
onto the downstream slope of the dam approximately 12 feet above the toe of dam on a 11
slope. Based on observations by our field staff, this is not an accurate representation of as -
built conditions as the siphons discharge to a relatively flat area. Please revise all drawings
as needed to accurately reflect these conditions.
5. Our field staff measured the width of the emergency spillway control section to be wider
than the 26 feet indicated on the as -built plans. Please verify and reflect the as -built
conditions on plan drawings.
6. During our field inspection it was discovered that the discharge pipe for the seepage
diaphragm serving the new principal spillway conduit was connected to the discharge pipe
serving the newly -installed toe -drain system. Please reflect this change accurately on the as -
built drawings.
7. Please provide a revised engineering certification as there are at least two substantial
changes from the approved repair plan.
S. As stipulated on the Approval to Repair, an emergency action plan (EAP) and an operation
and maintenance (O&M) plan are required. for all high hazard dams. The O&M plan
should address routine maintenance, frequency of inspections by the owner or the owner's
representative, and annual operation of the siphon -bottom drain to ensure that it is
functional. Both an EAP and an O&M plan must be reviewed and approved prior to final
approval to impound..
It would greatly aid further application review if a response to each of the above comments were
made in a cover letter submitted with two sets of the revised drawings, engineer's certification,
and other requested information. You may contact Ms. Laura Herbert, PE, Regional Engineer at

A review has been made of the plans, specifications and design data submitted under' over letter
dated March 31, 2011, and received in this office on April 1, 2011, for the repair of the
referenced dam. The submitted information is an addendum to modify some aspects of the plan
that was approved by letter dated March 23, 2011. Prior to issuance of an approval to repair,
additional information or revision is requested for the following items:
1. The changes to the principal spillway are hydraulically significant and must be reevaluated
by the design engineer. Please provide an analysis of the combination of spillways serving
the subject dam that shows that the proposed design meets the requirements of Title 15A
Subchapter 2K Section .0205 of the North Carolina Administrative Code.
2. Based on the information provided, the principal spillway (PS) discharge pipe will be
installed at a greater than 16% slope. This may increase the exit velocity significantly. Please
reevaluate the design of the outlet protection to insure it will be sufficient to handle the
expected discharge. In addition, please clarify the design method which is used for the "rip
rap plunge pool". It does not appear to be consistent with NRCS Design Note 6.
The engineer may wish to consider raising the outlet invert elevation to create a true
cantilevered outlet for use in conjunction with a plunge pool design consistent with NRCS
Design Note 6.
3. Please modify the profile shown on Sheet 1 of 2 to insure that no portion of the filter
diaphragm will be within 2 feet of the ground surface. To accomplish this, the 2 foot
dimension should be drawn perpendicular from the downstream slope surface to the nearest
point (typically the top downstream comer) of the diaphragm section.

A review has been made of the revised plans, specifications and design data submitted under
cover letter dated October 26, 2010, and, received in this office on November 4, 2010, for the
repair of•the referenced dam. Prior to issuance;of an approval to repair; additional'information or
revision is requested for the following items:
1. The siphon detail on Sheet 6 of 7 does not specify a vent/fill pipe as part of the design.
Please address the means by which the siphon will be primed and activated. � In addition, if
no vent pipe is provided, once activated the proposed design does not provide for a means to
deactivate the siphon until the impoundment is fully drained. Please revise the design to
address these issues accordingly.
2. Sheet 5 of 7: The manhole -to -barrel pipe connecting gasket should be clearly specified.
Press -Seal is a manufacturer of gaskets such as this one, but the engineer must specify the
product" to be used: Please provide product information that indicates the product selected is
suitable for the intended use.
3. The proposed seepage filter diaphragms remain inconsistent with NRCS guidance for filter
diaphragm construction. The selected filter medium (NCDOT. 57 or 67 aggregate) is
inappropriate. The practice of encapsulating filter medium in filter fabric is not mentioned
in the'NRCS guidance and is not recommended. Please refer to USDA NRCS National
Engineering Handbook Part 628 Chapter 45 for guidance on.their proper construction and
filter medium gradation requirements.
It is further recommended that a`lateral slotted collector pipe (such as well screen pipe) be

1. It appears that a turf reinforcing mat is proposed for use under the riprap at the siphon
outlet. The use of a non -woven filter fabric is recommended. We could not find a
reference to the material specified, Contech TRMC-35, on the Contech web site.
2. The depth of the riprap at the siphon outlet is shown to be 24" on the RIPRAP DETAIL
and 3.18' on the ENLARGED DETAIL. The d5o of Class 2 riprap is 14". Please make
appropriate changes.
3. Please provide a profile along the centerline of the 50' riprap section and include the

Sheet 2 of 4
1. 'The EMERGENCY SPILLWAY PLANVIEW does not accurately depict a grading plan
for the two spillways. Please revise.
2. In the emergency spillway plan there is a drop of 1.8 feet in approximately 12 feet and
this steep slope is not shown on the EMERGENCY SPILLWAY PROFILE. The bottom
width of the emergency spillway appears to vary from 26' to 35'. The location of each
- channel bottom width and an accurate toe out of each contour based -on the required side
slope of the channel should be drawn.
3. There appear to be headwalls at the upstream end of the concrete channel but no details
for these headwalls are'shown.
4. What is the length of the concrete channel?

Mr. Odom.

the 6 faces with a minimum concrete cover of 2 inches? .
6. Please provide a detail for the valve box at the siphon outlet.
7. What is the propose'd'base for the vent box? Please identify on drawing.
8. The -merging of the riprap channel from the decorative waterfall with -the siphon riprap
channel to form a common outlet from the siphon outlet downstream is suggested. A
change in the alignment of this channel at, the outlet to reduce the angle change from the
riprap channel. to the natural channel is also suggested. If this suggestion is followed, the'
riprapping of the two small fill areas could possibly be eliminated.
9. Shouldn't the clearing limits encompass the work area for the installation of the riprap
lined channel?
10. There is a portion of the proposed work.area,where no downstream erosion and sediment
control measures are provided. Please -ensure that all runoff from disturbed areas passes
through such a measure:
11. Please show the limits of the chimney drain -and the limits of the blanket drain. A bottom
edge of the chimney that follows along the toe of the existing dam is suggested. 'Unless a
blanket drain is'needed downstream of this toe to collect seepage in this. area, you may
want to consider the elimination of an extensive blanket drain, and use multiple blanket -
drain. fingers that connect the chimney drain to the proposed downstream toe. Where
these fingers exit the downstream toe; a reverse filter that consisting of a non -woven
geotextile placed over the blanket drain medium, followed by a 6-inch layer of NCDOT .

A review has been made of the plans, specifications and design data submitted under cover letter received
in this office on April 30, 2008 for the repair of the referenced dam. Prior to issuance of an approval to
repair, additional information or revision is requested -for the following items: -
General:
1. Please provide a design reportthat includes a narrative of the project, the results of any
investigations, all calculations, and specifications for the work. The project narrative should give
the location of the dam, the size of the dam and appurtenant structures, the drainage area, a
description of the problems and the proposed means of bringing the dam into compliance with the
Dam Safety Law of 1967.
2. A _check of the drainage area using NCDOT lidar data shows it to be more than twice the size
shown. Please check.
3. A hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) analysis of the dam and spillway systems must be performed.
The dam must be able to store and/or pass the 25 year storm between the normal pool level and the
crest of a vegetated emergency spillway and the dam must store and/or pass the 100 year -storm
without overtopping. The use of HEC-1, HEC-HMS, or other appropriate means shall be used to
perform the H&H analysis.
4. A CHECKLIST FOR APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT A DAM can be found at the. following
web site: hiip://www.dlr.enr.state.nc.us/pages/forms.html. Although this checklist is for a new
construct, it can serve as a useful guide for dam repair submittals. If any of the items on this
checklist will help to clarify the'proposed repairs it should be addressed in the narrative, by a .
calculation, or by a detail on the drawings.

1. Please provide the owner's name or contact person, address, and telephone number.
2. Please provide a site location road map.
Comments on Drawing provided with submittal.
1. Many of the details are difficult to read and follow and some have missing dimensions.
2. Please provide elevations for the siphon at the entrance, each change in slope, and at the outlet.
Pipe lengths should also be shown.
3. The use of the emergency spillway top width (18') for "L" in the outflow -computation is not
correct.
4. Why was a 10" pipe used- in the pond outflow calculation instead of 8"?
5. The pipe shown is Schedule 40 PVC. The use of plastic pipe is not addressed in the Dam Safety
Rules and Regulations; however, its use is acceptable if it conforms to AWWA C 900
specifications. It must be buried therefore the exposed ends of any conduit must be ductile iron or
other material less likely to be damaged by exposure. Ductile iron fittings are compatible with the
outside diameter of AWWA C 900 "plastic pipe.
6. The sections through the riprap outlet protection are not identified.
7. If the freeze protection drain remains, additional details will be needed. In lieu of this drain, the
outlet section of the siphon could_ be made horizontal so that it will be free draining.
8. If the pipe straps and anchor bolts remain in the revised design, more details are needed.
9. In lieu of encasing the entire siphon in concrete, the siphon sections -on the embankment slopes
could be encased with select earth backfill and, the horizontal section through the dam crest would
be founded on a concrete SCS (MRCS) Type B 1 bedding and the remainder would be encased
with select earth backfill. The bends of the siphon would need to be secured with concrete thrust
blocks or a retainer gland such as the Uni-Flange Series 1400 or 1500.
10. The material for the 1 "x3" support for the siphon vent pipe is not identified.
11. A fill cap to prime the siphon should be added to the vent pipe.

Mr. Haskins
November 3, 2008
Page 3 of 3
12. More detail is needed for the siphon inlet trashrack. Openings in the trashrack that are
approximately equal to'/z the siphon diameter are suggested. The trashrack should be sized to
hold the entrance velocity to 2.0 ft./sec. or less for the maximum siphon flow.
13. The trench excavated for the siphon must have side slopes no steeper than 2 horizontal to 1
vertical.
14. What are the mix proportions for the non -shrink concrete proposed to fill the existing 10" conduit?
The use of a non -shrink grout in lieu of concrete is recommended. Please provide more detail on
the proposed grouting procedure.
Specifications:
1. A specification should be provided for all -construction and materials in the work.
2. A specification is needed for the compaction and moisture control of the earth backfill.
3. A seeding specification is needed to establish vegetative cover on all disturbed areas not covered
with riprap or other protective layer.
Please be aware that the comments shown above may not include all revisions that should be addressed. It
would greatly aid further application review if a response to each of the above comments were made in a
cover letter submitted with two sets of the revised plans, specifications and design data. Please contact this
office should you have any questions concerning the above items.

3. The clearing limits should be shown on the drawings.
4. Please provide a legend for the different hatch patterns shown and/or identify them. The
identification of all components of the proposed work on the ENLARGED DETAIL is suggested.
5. Is there an existing bottom drain? If there is, please locate it on this drawing and describe the
plans for it.
6. The. riprap pad at the 12" siphon outlet is shown to have a D50 (median size) of 24". The
maximum size stone could be 36". Do you wish to use a stone size that exceeds NC DOT Class 2
riprap?
Sheet 2
1. The size of the precast concrete box is shown to be 4'x8' in several of the notes and is
dimensioned to be 6'x6' (inside). Please correct were appropriate. The drawing provided by the
structural engineer, Mr. Thompson, shows the box to have "outside" dimensions of 6'x6'.
2. The elevations and details on the -DECORATIVE WATERFALL PROFILE and the detail
immediately below the SPILLWAY CROSS-SECTION do not agree. Please correct.
3. The EMERGENCY SPILLWAY PROFILE appears to show a change in bottom grade near station
0+25. A uniform grade for the entire exit slope is recommended.
4. Is a 45' bend for the DIP compatible with the existing upstream slope of the embankment? The
topography indicates an upstream slope approximating 3 horizontal to 1 vertical.
5. There is a 7' cut into the embankment at the downstream face of the precast box. On the
EMERGENCY SPILLWAY PLAN VIEW more than one contour merges to a common point
which gives a vertical slope at that point. A more detailed grading plan is needed to clearly define
the side slopes of the required cut. The relocation of the precast box to station 0+60 on the
DECORATIVE WATERFALL PROFILE is recommended to increase the seepage path along the
36" conduit.
6. Please review Design of SmalrDams, USDI-Bureau of Reclamation, 1987, Chapter 9 Section G,
for guidelines on the proper design of concrete spillway channels on earth foundations. Some
specific items to address are reinforcement, joints, cutoffs, and drains.
7. , Since the permanent flow will discharge through the concrete spillway channel the flow area from
the outlet end of the, spillway to the existing channel must be protected from erosion.
8. Please provide a detail for the trashrack at the inlet end of the 36" DIP.
9. Please include all major work items in the CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE. One item not shown
is the clearing and grubbing. Other items may need to be added.

Mr. Odom

Sheet 3
1. Please show the angle at each bend on the 12" siphon. -Please make sure the change in alignment
at each bend on the scaled drawing truly represents the angle of the fitting.
2. Please show a detail for the 12" siphon trashrack. A suggested trashrack size would limit the
entrance -velocity at maximum discharge to a maximum of 2 feet per second.
3. In lieu of exposing the inlet sections of the 12" and 36" DIP and using the wood anchors, the
burying of these pipes with a minimum of 18" of cover is recommended. The effectiveness of the
wood anchors to provide adequate support for the heavy DIP is suspect. If a decision is made to
continue with the use of the wood anchors in the final design, dimensions of all components must
be provided along with design calculations to show they are adequate to provide the required
support.
4. The side slopes of each trench should be no steeper than 1 horizontal to 1 vertical on the
embankment slopes and 2 horizontal to .1 vertical through the embankment crest. Typical cross
sections of the required trench excavations must be provided.
5. Please provide a model number or specification for each gate valve.
6. Please show the pipe lengths between bends.
7. What is the third dimension of the 4'x4' concrete thrust block atthe outlet end? Please show
required reinforcement.
8. Should the units for the fill be cubic yards instead of square yards?
9. The chimney drain should consist of a finer grained material than #57 stone. A material no coarser
than North Carolina Department of Transportation 2S sand is suggested. Please show the extents
of the chimney and blanket drains in plan view. What is the required material and thickness for
the blanket drain? Is the blanket drain to serve as an outlet for the chimney drain?
10. On the plan view it appears the riprap outlet pad is not in the existing outlet channel and it appears
the outlet channel downstream of the .pad is being filled in by the new downstream slope. By what
route will outflow from the siphon get back to the downstream channel? This may be improved
with changes made as discussed in Item 2 under Sheet 1.
11. The thickness of the riprap pad should be 2.25 times D50 and the placement of a non -woven
geotextile under the riprap, protected by a thin layer of gravel, is recommended.
12. A varmint guard is not normally placed on a siphon outlet, especially one with a diameter of 12"..
13. On the VENT DETAIL the siphon inlet invert is shown to be 930.7 and this does not appear to
agree with SECTION A -A. Please check. The leader also points to the 2" ball valve.
14. The use of a "tapped tee" in lieu_ of a reducer tee is suggested for the siphon vent pipe.

15. The means of access to the inside of the valve and vent pre-fab concrete boxes is not clear.
16.._What do the two vertical lines under the 2" ball valve represent?
17. What is the purpose of the 4"x4" support immediately upstream of the vent box? If it is to support
the vent pipe, please show how it will be secured to the post.
18. On the PLAN VIEW the only erosion & control measure shown is silt fence. Will other measures
shown on Sheet 4 be use? If so please identify them on this view.
Sheet 4
1. Please show the dimensions of the concrete cradle. It is probably not necessary to reinforce the
cradle.
2. The TRENCH DETAIL the vertical trench wall should be eliminated by starting the 2:1 slopes at
the bottom grade of the cradle.
3. What type of blanket is to be used in the LINED CHANNEL DETAIL?
Specifications:
1. SECTION 02110 — The extent of tree and shrub removal could not be located on the plans as
stated. What is considered an adequate depth for stump and root removal?
2. SECTION 02223 — What type material is required in the downstream embankment slope? To what
density will the embankment fill be placed? The acceptance of moisture limits that are within 2
percentage points of optimum is suggested. The use of Type A3 fill in cut out soft areas is not
recommended in dams. All stump holes must be backfilled to grade with select backfill material
prior to the placement of the chimney drain.
3. SECTION 02225 — The use of No 67 stone in -trenches where water is present or dewatering is
required is not acceptable in dams.
4. SECTION 02275 — Should the statement concerning bagged mix be at the end of this
specification?
5. SECTION 02667 — Please provide the class of DIP to be use.
6. SECTION 2936 — In item 3.5 A. the seeding rates are identified in Part 2.1 instead of Part 2.2.

Sheet 2 of 6
1. On the RIP -RAP DETAIL @ SIPHON, CONTEC EF134 is show under the washed stone. This
material is an erosion control blanket of wood fibers and is not appropriate for this application.
You' should specify a non -woven geotextile as shown on SECTION B-B on Sheet 4 of 6.
Sheet 3 of 6
1. Please provide a detailed plan view and elevation view of the PRECAST CONCRETE BOX and
HEADWALLS. All dimensions must be shown.
2. There should be longitudinal reinforcing in the walls perpendicular to the reinforcing shown.
Please provide calculations for the wall stability and structural design.
3. Please provide details for the aluminum grating and weir gate on the 6'x6' precast concrete box
or remove all references to these items. -
4. The EMERGENCY SPILLWAY PLAN VIEW shows the junction of the side slopes with the
bottom to be rounded instead of coming to a point as shown on A -A SPILLWAY CROSS
SECTION.
5. The PRECAST CONCRETE BOX DETAIL shows the concrete channel to have a bottom width
of 6' at the box and in the EMERGENCY SPILLWAY PLAN VIEW the channel bottom width
at the box to be 10'. Please correct.
6. Please provide a profile for the concrete channel. You may -want to include it on the spillway
detail on Sheet 5 of 6. Please show the bottom elevation at each end: The length of the concrete
channel should be shown on the drawings.
The construction contours around the concrete channel do not appear to be correct. The 930
contour is parallel to the top of the concrete at for a distance of approximately 10 feet and
parallel to the channel bottom for a distance of approximately 6 feet immediately downstream of
the box. This would indicate that the top and bottom of the channel is level at these two sections.
8. Will there be a constructed channel from the end of the concrete spillway to where it junctions
with the natural draw? Please add to grading plan if there is one.
9. What is the width,and depth of the riprapped channel? Show on drawings.
10. Please check the stationing on the 36" DIP. Two 0+00 stations are shown.
11. How will the 36" DIP be supported to install the concrete cradle? Please show on drawings.
12. To increase the emergency spillway bulk length, the extension of the top of spillway (Elev. .
933.8) to approximate station 0+50 is recommended. Please show the actual spillway finish
grade on the,profile.

Mr. Odom.
May 6, 2009

Sheet 4 of 6
1. Please review siphon bends, invert elevations, and lengths and make appropriate changes.
2. The extent of the concrete cradle under the siphon is not shown. The use of the cradle on the
siphon section between the front and rear apex is suggested. The limits of the cradles use must
be shown on the drawings.
3. If the orientation of the thrust block is important, please indicate the desired orientation with
dimensions on SECTION B-B. .
4. On the VENT DETAIL the siphon has a level section while on SECTION B-B the siphon slopes
in both directions from the apex. Please adjust as appropriate.
4. In the BLANKET DRAIN TOE DETAIL, the use of non -woven geotextile between the proposed
fill and the stone and riprap is recommended.
5. The chimney drain appears to,extend to the downstream toe of the new fill. We discussed this
earlier and it was my understanding the chimney drain would be placed against the existing
downstream slope and the blanket drains would provide outlets for the chimney drain. Please
make appropriate changes.
6. On SECTION B-B please show the stone and riprap thicknesses. As shown the riprap thickness is
not uniform.
7. The clearing limits on the PLAN VIEW should allow working space around the perimeter of the
embankment toe and the riprap channel.
8. It appears that significant quantities of materials will need to be stockpiled on site: Please show
the stockpile area(s) and/or construction staging area(s) and extend the clearing limits as
appropriate.
9. The merging of the multiple riprapped areas south of the siphon outlet into one riprapped
drainage way is suggested.
10. On the PLAN VIEW the station at the concrete box is not clear.
Sheet 5 of 6
1. The grouting details appear to be for the placement -of grout under a plate rather than filling a
pipe in a dam. Please explain and adjust as necessary. Do you plan to drain the pond to perform
the grouting? If not how will you verify that the pipe is completely filled with grout?
2. Was the RIPRAP LINED CHANNEL CENTERLINE PROFILE surveyed or taken from the
- topography shown on Sheet 1 of 6? The centerline appears to follow the contour in several
reaches. Please show the channel bottom and approximate top of bank on the final profile.

Mr. Odom.
May 6, 2009
Page 4 of 4
3. Please provide a detail for the connection of the 36" DIP to the precast concrete box.
4. A joint in the pipe and cradle near the face of the concrete slab for articulation is required.
Please show on drawings.
Sheet 6 of 6
Please show that the detail presently identified as EMBANKMENT CREST TRENCH DETAIL
applies for the entire length of the 36" DIP. The name of this detail may need to be changed.
Please include a trench detail that shows the trench for the 12" siphon to have 2:1 side slopes
through the embankment crest.
2. Apparently my statement concerning the trash rack opening size was a bit confusing. It should
have said: By making the openings in each trash rack larger (not to exceed D/2), some of the
larger trash will be able to pass through the pipe instead of collecting on the trash rack. Was the
size of each trash rack checked to see if the open area is sufficient to limit the entrance velocity
at maximum discharge to 2 feet/sec. as recommended? Please provide calculations.
3. Please provide more information on the bolting of the 2"x4" angles to the band. Are they to be
bolted to the 2" securing band? _
Please be aware that the above Jist of comments may not reflect all the changes that should be made to
your next submittal. It would greatly aid further application review if a response to each of the above
comments were made in a cover letter submitted -with two sets of the revised plans, specifications and
design data. Please contact this office should you have any questions concerning the above items.

RE: . Polk-009, Turner Shoals Dam (Adger Lake) - Polk County
Dear Mr. Sunquist:
The Dam Safety Law of 1967 provides for the certification and inspection of dams in the
interest of public health, safety, and welfare, in order to reduce the risk of failure of
dams, to prevent injuries to persons, damage to downstream property, and to. ensure
the maintenance of stream flows.
A visual inspection. of the referenced dam was conducted on June 28, 2006 by staff of
the Land Quality Section, Asheville -Regional Office. While on site we met with Messrs.
Jeff and Darrel McGraw. We appreciate their assistance. During, this inspection, the
following conditions were ,noted:
Deterioration at various locations on the dam as follows:
■ Area and joints around the intake of the penstocks;
■ Penstock joints;
■ Support beams'of the penstocks at junction with intake structure;
■ Joint on left side of intake structure;.and
■ Right top section of the intake structure.

■ Seepage was noted through many of these areas of deterioration.
Because of water flow through spillway during this inspection, a complete inspection of -the
spillway could not be performed. During the previous inspection on April 18, 2005
deterioration and seepage were noted on the spillway arches, about 5 joints down from the
crest of the dam. Deterioration wa's also noted on the corbels during the Spring 2005
inspection.
These conditions appear serious and justify further engineering study to determine
appropriate remedial measures. In the event of a dam failure, human Fife and significant
property would be endangered because of the downstream location of NC Highway 9, other
roads, and possibly residences.
Continued deterioration of the concrete undermines the structural integrity of the dam.
Seepage contributes to the deterioration by leaching constituents of the concrete and
promoting freeze/thaw damage.
In order -to ensure the safety of this dam, you are directed to retain the services of a
registered professional engineer or an experienced engineering firm to make a study of the
conditions outlined in this letter. Plans and specifications for repair based on the results of
the study must be filed with the Division of Land Resources for approval pursuant to the
North Carolina Administrative Code, Title 15A, Subchapter 2K - Dam Safety (15A NCAC '2K).
Two copies of this study and plan shall be submitted to this office by January 1, 2007.
In addition to the above, the following remedial actions, not requiring, design or approval,
should be completed by September 1, 2006. These items include the following:
■ Cut and remove all woody vegetation within 20 feet of the dam, including that on
the actual dam walls.
An updated emergency action plan.,(EAP) is also.required for this dam. The downstream
hazards shall be checked and all contact information should be verified as part of this update.
Two copies of the EAP shall be submitted to the Division of Land Resources, and a copy -
shall be provided to the local emergency management office by September 1, 2006.
We also request copies of any dam reports or correspondence written prior to December
1996 when the dam was regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or the
North Carolina Utilities Commission. These documents may include engineering studies,
repair reports, inspection reports, plan drawings and specifications. This will help us
complete our files of this dam for the period prior to our jurisdiction.

were noted:
1. The principle spillway system is inadequate and needs to be investigated. The riser/barrel
system no longer exists and has been replaced with a 16" flexible pipe running down the
right abutment.
2. The trash guard is made of chicken wire and is inadequate.
3. A fence has been placed in the entrance to the emergency spillway. This could cause the
emergency spillway to become obstructed. The fence needs to be removed.
These conditions appear serious and justify further engineering study to determine appropriate
remedial measures. In the event of a dam failure, human life and significant property would be
endangered because of the downstream location of a several unnamed private roads.

RE: PLANNED POND/WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN - POLK OUNTY
E., Regional Engineer
FEB - 4 2002 r�
On January 23, 2002, staff from this office visited the site of your planned pond on a tributary to White
Oak Upper Lake in Polk County. The height of the dam is planned to be fourteen and one-half feet
from the downstream toe to the highest crest of the dam and the surface area of the pond is proposed
to be less than one- fourth of an acre.
Due to limited downstream development, we have determined a low hazard classification is presently
warranted for this dam. Also, since the dam will impound less than ten -acre feet, construction will not
require a permit from the this office. However, the following comments are offered:
1. You are encouraged to construct the dam to the same standards as if it were jurisdictional.
2. You should obtain any necessary permits from other agencies. For example, you should
contact the US Army Corps of Engineers, NC Wildlife Commission, and the Water Quality
Section of this Department.
3. If the land disturbing activity associated with the construction of the dam will be one acre or
greater, you must submit a sediment control plan and notarized financial responsibility form
along with the appropriate fees to this office. In any case, you must take all necessary steps to
prevent sedimentation to the stream or property owned by others during construction and
operation of the dam.
4. If the dam is raised such that it is 15 feet in height or greater as measured from the highest point
on the crest of the dam and is capable of impounding 10 acre-feet or more it will not be
exempt. If this is the case, engineering certification, and record drawings and specifications will
be required along with application processing fees.
5. If future downstream development occurs which would be impacted by a failure of the dam,
then the hazard classification will need to be re -assessed and could possibly change from low
to either intermediate or high hazard classification. By General Statute 143-215.25A.(a)(6),
dams which are determined to be high hazard are subject to the provisions of the Dam Safety
Law of 1967 regardless of height or impoundment capacity.

6. If the impoundment is constructed to be larger than that described in the data sheet you
submitted on January 23, 2002, the impact of a potential failure of your dam on the White Oak
dams will have to be re-evaluated. If we determine a breach of your dam would threaten any
of these high hazard dams during storms up to and including one third of the probable
maximum precipitation, your dam will be classified as high hazard and require certification by
an engineer. Plans and specifications of the dam, along with an application processing fee, will
be required.
You may contact Kris Riddle, Max Fowler or me in the at [phone] if we may be of additional
assistance.

Your letter dated November 27, 2001 concerning the referenced dam is received. The damand
impoundment was investigated by staff from this office on September 4, 2001. It was found to be
exempt from the Dam Safety Law of 1967 because it was not capable of impounding a volume of ten
acre-feet or more.
We understand from your most recent correspondence and your letter dated October 11, 2001 that
you are concerned by the reduced flow of water at a waterfall on Bear Creek downstream of the dam.
However, the dam is on a small tributary to Bear Creek and could not impound the main creek.
Moreover, on the day of the inspection, the dam was discharging water through the riser and conduit
spillway. Referring to data from the NC Drought Monitoring Council web site, the Tryon, NC area is
in a forty -inch rainfall deficit over the past three years. The drought conditions would naturally cause
a reduction in the base flow of the creek.
Since the Land Quality Section has no jurisdiction over a low hazard impoundment of this size, you
may want to contact the US Army Corps of Engineers at [phone], or J im Mead with the Division
of Water Resources of this Department at [phone]. We may be reached at [phone].

Dear Mr. Odom:
'APR ,,1 5 2002
A review has been made of the plans, specifications and design
data dated November 2, 2001 and received in this office on
November 6, 2001 for the construction of the referenced dam.
Prior to issuance of an approval to construct, additional
information or revision is requested for the following items:
1. Sheet 1 of 2. Emergency spillways must be located on.
natural ground in the abutment. Experience has shown
spillways over fill frequently are subject to severe
erosion, settlement, and instability from seepage into the
channel lining. Should the lining fail, severe damage or
complete failure of the embankment is probable.
2. Cross sections of the channel spillway should be provided at
critical stations, such as the control seo'tion. The cross
sections should show the side slopes and the thickness and
type of lining. If rip rap is used, a layer of washed stone
is recommended between the rip rap and the geotextile to
protect against puncture during installation.
3. Sheet,2 of 2, Cross Section of Embankment at Riser and
Barrel. It is preferable not to locate the riser within the
fill of the embankment for the following reasons. The -riser
may be displaced during compaction or settling of the
embankment. Any holes or joint displacement in the riser
may result in migration of.embankment material into the
riser. Should an upstream slope failure occur such as by
rapid draw down of the reservoir, the riser may be damaged.
Many times embankment material around a riser is poorly
compacted because of fear of damaging the riser. Poor
compaction can lead to settlement, slope instability or
internal erosion. In addition, should. -replacement of the
riser become necessary, it will be more difficult if placed
within the embankment.

4. Sheet 2 of 2, Sand Filter. A slotted drainage pipe is
recommended to drain the sand filter so that the amount of
seepage can be more readily monitored. A varmint guard
should be used at the exit.
5. Corrugated metal pipe '(CMP) is indicated in the
specifications and corrugated aluminum (CAP) is indicated
for the conduit in the drawings. Please revise as
necessary. CAP is easily damage during installation. You
may�fwaht;t-o"consider using a larger diameter pipe to enable
future slip lining and reduce the likelihood of the conduit
becoming obstructed by debris when the bottom drain is open
or. i f the trash rack fails.
6. A detail drawing must be included showing the joint system
for the conduit through the dam. The joints selected must
be watertight, structurally adequate and capable of
accommodating expected movement during settlement.
7. Appropriate drawings and specifications should be provided
for an energy dissipater at the outlet of the pipe spillway.
8. Sheet 2 of-2, Trash Rack. Please provide details of how the
trash rack will be attached to the riser.
9. Please specify how the stream will be diverted during
construction.
It would greatly aid further application review if a response to
each of the above comments were made in a cover letter submitted
with two sets of the revised plans, specifications and design
data.

A review has been made of the plans, specifications and design
data submitted under cover letter dated January 17, 2002 and
received in this office on January 22, 2002 for the repair.of the
referenced dam. Prior to issuance of an approval to repair,
additional information or revision is requested for the following
items:
1. Onsite inspection on June 12, 2002_by Land Quality staff
from the Asheville Regional Office indicated the existing
CMP barrel had only slight flow exiting it with most flow
going through the temporary corrugated plastic pipe in the
right abutment. The elevation of the lake appeared to be
above design normal pool. The inlet of the riser was not
visible. From this, it would appear that CMP riser and
barrel are obstructed. Also, there must be a provision to
drain the lake for future maintenance, repairs or
emergencies. The condition of the CMP riser and barrel must,
be investigated and plans submitted to remove the
obstruction and perform any necessary repairs. If it is
discovered that the CMP is deteriorated beyond its useful
life, this condition must be reported to the Land Quality
Section and the riser and/or barrel must either be removed
or suitably grouted under the supervision of the engineer.
2. During the inspection it was discovered that some of the toe
drain outlets are becoming plugged with deposits and should
be cleaned in conjunction with these repairs.
3.Specifications must be supplied for the HDPE pipe and joints
to be installed in the in the right abutment. The joints
.must be watertight.

4. An earth fill specification must be supplied which contains
compaction requirements. Particular care must be exercised
to compact around the pipe yet not damage it. It must not
be bedded on gravel or other permeable material since this
may lead to seepage beside the pipe.
5.A detail drawing of the proposed rip rap apron at the outlet
of the new HDPE spillway pipe must be included. The
geotextile must be specified along with the size of rip rap.
It is suggested that a layer of washed stone be placed
between the geotextile and the rip rap to prevent damage to
the geotextile during installation or shifting of the rip
rap.
6.The trash rack openings at the entrance to the spillway
should be small, enough to stop any debris that might become
lodged in the pipe, yet large enough to pass small debris
such as leaves and small twigs that will pass through the
spillway.
7.A specification should be provided for the concrete used in
the headwall and its placement.,
8. Please provide details of the gate to be installed at the
entrance of the emergency spillway. Is the gate needed to
limit access of vehicles? If possible, this item should be
omitted as it will collect debris during storm events and
obstruct the spillway. If the gate is necessary, provisions
should be made to facilitate its removal during high flows
through the emergency spillway.
9.Have calculations been made to check the frequency of use
of the emergency spillway with the proposed new primary
spillway? Per the Dam safety Rules, the frequency of use of
an unlined emergency spillway in this category dam is the
25-year storm.
It would greatly aid further application review if a response to
each of the above comments were made in a cover letter submitted
with two sets of the revised plans, specifications and design
data.

Proiect Description
The purpose of this project is to construct a small pond along the eastern edge 'of Polk
County, North Carolina. The dam is of sufficient size to require permitting by the state,
and will be classified as a low hazard class, small dam.
The elevations shown on the drawing are based on an assumed datum and do not reflect
the true elevation above sea level. Based on the assumed datum, the spillway discharges
the flow a..an--elevation-of-Ao4 eet with a top of dam elevation of 439 feet thus resulting
in an effective dam height of 25 feet. The top of water elevation wi be 436 feet
resulting m a total pond area of approximately six and one-half 6.50 acres) Assuming
the average depth of the oxdU.equal to 40% of the dam height (i.e., 10 feet), the pond
size in acre-feet would be65.0 acre-feet.
Regarding the actual design of the dam, the upstream embankment will be a 2:1 slope and
the downstream embankment will have a 3:1 slope for ease of maintenance. The
emergency spillway is a 50-foot wide channel placed in the crest of the dam and is 1.0
feet deep. The channel will be lined with rip rap placed on top of filter fabric to prevent
erosion should the emergency spillway be utilized.
Soils
Soil studies will be performed on -site by the engineer at the time of excavation.

Supporting Calculations
The following calculations were performed using both a spreadsheet designed to
calculate storm flows as well as the program "Hydroflow Hydrographs". The
spreadsheet was designed to calculate the storm flows based on the SCS method of
floodwater runoff. The values obtained from the spreadsheet were then used in the
Hydroflow program to design the spillways size(s). Included in this section is a copy of
the spreadsheet output as well as four graphs from the Hydroflow program displaying the
hydrograph of the routed and non -routed. storm flows, water surface elevation vs. time,
and discharge capability vs. water elevation. Based on the derived information, the 50-
year storm event can be carried in the emergency spillway comprised of a 50-foot, wide
trench 1.0 feet deep lined with rip rap. Lastly, a spreadsheet was created to calculate the
necessary weight required to offset the buoyancy of the standpipe. The above
information is located on the following pages.

Storm Flow Calculation Utilizing the SCS Peak Discharge Method
Polk County, North Carolina
This document calculates the flow for a 50-year, 24-hour storm event in Polk County, North Carolina, using the SCS method.
The area in question is comprised of approximately 178.63 acres of land with a soil classification of B. The hydraulic length
(maximum length of water flow) is approximately 2500 feet with an average slope of 3.8%. The land in this area has the
following characteristics:.
Type Description of Terrain % of Total CN Value
Type I Wooded 100% 55
Type it None Listed N/A N/A
Type III None Listed N/A N/A
Type IV None Listed N/A N/A
Type V None Listed WA N/A
In addition to the above information, data must be extracted from tables that can be found in the 'Erosion and Sediment
Control Planning and Design Manual' published by the North, Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
All references in the equations below refer to this manual.
Based on the soil and land types listed above, the CN can now be calculated. Based .on the given information as well as
chosen CN values from Table 8.03b, page 8.03.10 in the reference, the final CN value is calculated to be:
Type Description of Terrain % of Total CN Value % Total x CN Value
Type Wooded 100% 55 55
Type II None Listed N/A N/A N/A Please Note: The column "% Total x CN
Type III None Listed N/A N/A N/A Value" is summed to give the Final CN
Type IV None Listed N/A N/A N/A value
Type V None Listed N/A N/A N/A
Final CN Value >>> 55
Based on the area in question (Polk County, North Carolina), the rainfall amount during a 50-year, 24-hour storm is 8 inches
(Reference, Figure 8.03). In addition, the average runoff depth is 2.9 inches (Reference, Page 8.03.17, Table 8.03c).
Lastly, the equivalent drainage area based on the hydraulic length of 2500 feet is 65 acres (Reference, Page 8.03.18, Figure
8.03p).
Determining Q
We first determine our peak discharge (33 CFS/Inch) using Table 8.03p, and multiply it by our runoff depth of 2.9 inches to
get our initial flow.
Q, = 33 CFS/Inch x 2.9 inches = 95.7 CFS
The following equation takes into account the equivalent acreage vs. the actual acreage based on the hydraulic length.
Q2 = 95.7 CFS x (178.63acres/65acres) = 263 CFS
We will next use the impervious factor of 1 (Reference, Page 8.03.21, Figure 8.03r) to modify the flow.
Q3 = 263 CFS x 1
= 263 CFS
To adjust for the, watershed slope, we will use a slope adjustment factor of 0.9 (Reference, Page 8.03.23, Table 8.03d)
Q4 = 263 CFS x 0.9 = 236.7 CFS
Lastly, we must adjust for any ponding effects impacting our flow with an adjustment factor of 1 (Reference, Page 8.03.24,
Table 8.03e)
Q = 236.7 CFS x 1 = 236.7 CFS
Summary
Based on the above equations and adjustment factors found in the reference, the flow for a 50-year, 24-hour storm event in
this particular area of Polk County, North Carolina, would be 236.7 CFS.

Figure 4: 50-Year Storm Event Hydrograuh
The following hydrograph displays the discharge (in cubic feet per second) due to a 50-
year storm event. The information used to plot this hydrograph was derived in the
Hydroflow program. Since the peak flow value was roughly the same using the
Hydroflow program (233.86 cfs vs. 236.7 cfs), this value was used in all additional
calculations.

Anti -Flotation Calculations
The following information is a calculation to determine the necessary area and weight required to offset the
buoyancy force of the standpipe in dam construction. The exact displacement is calculated and then a safety
factor is used to determine the final weight and concrete volume required. These calculations are based on the
average value of concrete density of 150 pcf.
In this scenario, the standpipe diameter is 18 inches with a total length of 20 feet. Below is the calculation of
the displaced water volume, weight of the water in pounds, and the cubic yards of concrete required to offset
this buoyancy force.
Displaced Water Volume
V = (pi)(r2)(I) _
Weight of Displaced Water
W = (V)(density) =
Required Volume of Concrete
V = (wreight)/(density)(27 cf/cy) =
(pi][0.75 ft][0.75 ft][20 ft] = 35.3 cubic feet
(35.3 ct][62.4 pcf] = 2205.4 pounds
[2205.4 lbs]/j150 pct][27 cf/cy] = 0.5445 cubic yards
Now that we have the exact figure to offset the buoyancy force, we can now apply the chosen safety factor of
1.25 to determine the volume of concrete required.
V = (initial volume)(safety factor) = [0.5445 cy][1.251= 0.6807 cubic yards

SMALL DAM CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
1. SITE PREPARATION
The site shall be shaped and prepared prior to the placement of earth fill. Once the clearing and
grubbing limits have been identified, all trees, stumps, logs, snags, shrubs, rubbish, and debris shall
be removed. Trees shall be cut as near to the ground as conventional equipment will permit. All
stumps and roots having a diameter of one inch or greater shall be grubbed out to a depth of one
foot below the ground surface. Any fences encountered within the grubbing limits shall be
removed as part of the clearing and grubbing operation. All material removed as part of the
clearing and grubbing operation shall be burned. All disposal of material by burning shall be in
strict accordance with applicable state law and local ordinance.
All channel banks and steep areas within the foundation area of the dam shall be shaped to a slope
of 1:1 or flatter. The foundation shall be stripped of topsoil and undesirable material. After
stripping, the foundation area shall be prepared to assure proper bond with the fill material by
removing loose dry material, scarifying, disking, adjusting the moisture, and compacting the
foundation material as necessary, prior to the placement of the fill material.
2. EXCAVATION
The cutoff trench shall be excavated to remove and sand, gravel, and other permeable material.
The actual depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined in the field by the engineer to ensure all
unsatisfactory material is removed. Suitable materials obtained from the required excavations may
be used in the embankment. Unsuitable material shall be disposed of in an area designated by the
engineer.
3. EARTH FILL
All fill material shall be free from sod, brush, roots, frozen soil, rocks over 6 inches in diameter and
other objectionable material. The distribution and gradation of materials shall be such that there
will be no lenses, pockets, streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in texture or
gradation. The more plastic and impervious material shall be placed in the center portions of the
fill. Fill shall not be placed until the foundation area is free of standing water and is properly
grubbed, shaped, and scarified. The moisture content of the fill material shall be such that the fill
can be satisfactorily compacted and shall be within plus or minus 3% of optimum. Optimum
moisture shall be as defined by ASTM D 698, Method A. The placing and spreading of fill shall be
started at the lowest point of the foundation and shall be brought up in approximately horizontal
layers. The maximum thickness of a layer before compaction shall be 8 inches. The entire surface
of each layer shall be compacted by at least three passes of a standard tamping roller. Fill placed
within two feet of the pipe or any structure shall be placed in layers not to exceed four inches thick
and compacted to a density equivalent to that of the surrounding fill by means of hand tampering or
manually directed power tampers. Heavy equipment shall not be operated within two feet of any
structure.
22

4. PIPE SPILLWAY
The spillway barrel and riser pipe will be 14 gauge CMP and 12 gauge CMP,
respectively.
Fabrication and installation of the pipe spillway shall be as specified on the
drawings and as required by specification: The pipe conduit shall be placed on a
firm foundation to the lines and grades shown on the plans. Installation shall be
performed in a skillful and workmanlike manner in accordance with the
manufacturer0s recommendations. Prior to laying the pipe, a foundation trench
shall be prepared for the pipe by filling approximately two inches above grade' with
compacted material. The foundation area for the pipe shall then be excavated to
approximately 1 inch below the planned invert elevation for the pipe and shaped to
conform to the outside diameter of the pipe. One inch of select impervious moist
material shall be placed in the shaped foundation trench immediately prior to
placing the pipe.
The pipe shall then be placed to line and grade and firmly and uniformly bedded in
the foundation trench throughout its entire length with select impervious moist fill
material. The area supporting the joints shall be over excavated as necessary to
allow for assembly and to ensure that the pipe barrel is uniformly supported by the
soil bedding. Select moist backfill material shall be placed and hand compacted
around the pipe conduit at approximately the same rate on both sides of the pipe.
Compaction around the bottom half of the pipe must be firm to fill all voids, but
extreme caution must be exercised to prevent damage, movement, uplift or
deflection of the pipe.
5. DRAIN FILL- N/A
6. DRAIN PIPE- N/A
7. SEEDING -
Subsoil shall be prepared to eliminate uneven areas and low spots. Lines, levels,
profiles and contours must be maintained. Make changes in grade gradual and bend
slopes into level areas. Remove foreign materials, weeds and undesirable plants
and their roots and remove any contaminated sub -soil. Scarify subsoil to a depth of
3 inches where topsoil is to be places. Repeat cultivation in areas where equipment
used for hauling and spreading topsoil has compacted the sub -soil.
Spread topsoil to a minimum depth of 8 inches over area to be seeded and rake until
smooth. Place the topsoil during dry weather and on unfrozen subgrade. Remove
vegetable matter and foreign non -organic material from topsoil while spreading.
Grade the topsoil to eliminate rough, low or soft areas and to ensure positive
drainage. Install edging at periphery of seeded areas in straight lines to consistent
depth.

For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the.N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.aMly.mil/wetlands/Perm app htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/relatour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects. occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator' (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12

CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nmTfinalFedReg.pdf..
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/newetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on -hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

NARRATIVE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the project is to construct a dam on the eastern edge of Polk County.
Approximately 6 acres will be disturbed during this construction period.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is 24.55 acres located on the eastern edge of Polk County.
ADJACENT PROPERTY
Land use in the immediate vicinity is rural/residential.
SOILS
The soils in the project area are determined to be classified as Soil Group C utilizing the table on
page 8.03.8 of the reference. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation
Service survey of the area, most of the topsoil is clayey loam.
MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY
The owner is responsible for ensuring compliance with temporary measures and for instituting
permanent measures.

SUPPORTING CALCULATIONS
I. RUNOFF
Runoff was determined using the Rational Method as explained in the manual. We determined the acreage
contributing runoff using the Quadrangle Map. The value for the Runoff Coefficient (C) was
taken from Table 8.03a in the manual. The land surrounding the dam construction is wooded and has a C
value of 0.20. A return period of 25 years and the rainfall intensity duration
curve for Asheville was used in the design. The governing equation is Q=C*I*A. Data for calculations is below:

IV. SEDIMENT TRAPS
There will be five temporary sediment traps utilized on the project. In accordance with Section 6.60 of the
reference, the temporary sediment traps are to be used below disturbed areas where the total drainage area is
less than 5 acres. They are sized for a volume of 1800 ft3/acre based on the disturbed area draining into the
basin. Weir lengths are based on drainage area. All traps will have an effective depth of 2'. For improved
efficiencies, larger surface areas are used with the following equation as guidance:
Surface Area (ac.) = (0.01) peak inflow rate (cfs).
