I updated the impacts on page six to reflect temporary impacts for the pump around. We'll plan on sandbagging, and just to be on the safe side, I put down 20 feet, although I imagine that it will take less, as it a quite small trib. Many thanks for your help on this, and please let me know if you need anything else. Marshall From: Homewood, Sue Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 1:21 PM To: Ellis, Marshall Cc: Matthews, Monte K SAW Subject: RE: stone mountain permit question No specific measures (provided you follow either the erosion control manual or maybe DOT's BMP manual for roadway work), but you'll need to modify the table in the PCN to include something like 10 or 20 feet of temporary impacts, otherwise they'd be out of compliance with the permit. You can send me a revised table (and copy Monte too) via email and I can just update it here.

Billings culvert extension. Will there be any temporary fill in the stream above the road for dewatering/pump around? Typically we see sandbags, sheet piling, etc to install the pump and we want to be sure to give you approval for those temporary impacts in the permit.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Project site is located on Lyons Road, in Alleghany County and affects state-owned property on Stone Mountain State Park and adjacent private property owned by W.P. Billings. General land use is forested, with scattered residences along Lyons Road, which is unpaved. Site conditions: Previous owners piped an unnamed tributary to Big Sandy Creek (C-Tr) under Lyons Road through a 12" corrugated plastic culvert. However, instead of continuing this culvert another 60 feet to Big Sandy Creek, the culvert ended on the downstream edge of Lyons Road, which is also the boundary between state and private property, and the previous land owner filled in the rest of the tributary channel and grassed it . We do not know when when, why, or by whom this was done. The trib was left to drain into the ground, but has now daylighted itself at the end of the culvert and is sheet flowing for approximately 60 feet into Big Sandy Creek across a grassed lawn on adjacent private property. There is a second culvert outlet at the edge of Big Sandy, and it was thought that this culvert might be connected to the culvert that passes beneath Lyons Road. However, we can find no connection, and this second culvert, whose origin and purpose are unknown, is solidly blocked with debris just inside its outlet. Connecting this culvert to the road culvert would require a considerable bend and produce considerable disurbance to the site, including the possible removal of a large tree. See attached maps and photos. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: Approximately 18 acres on the entire state park. 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: Approximately 314, 423 LF on the state park. Streams on Billings property are limited to the run of Big Sandy Creek, approximately 300 feet. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: Repair damaged culvert at Lyons Road and extend it to Big Sandy Creek. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used.. With the permission of the adjacent landowner (see attachedagent certification), the NC Division of Parks and Recreation (DPR) is proposing to extend the existing 12" diamater culvert from DPR property for approximately 60 linear feet across the adjacent private property so that it will drain into Big Sandy Creek. This 60-foot stretch is currently a grassed lawn, with no riparian or stream impacts associated with the proposal. During installation, DPR proposes to pump around so that the installation will occur in the dry. The new culvert will be the same diameter and material and will be coupled to the existing culvert at the road's edge. The new alignment will be dug with a backhoe and hand tools, and the new culvert will be buried at an elevation consistent with the existing culvert and will terminate at the edge of Big Sandy Creek. The culvert extension will be located with its outfall at the level of Big Sandy Creek so that aquatic passage is maintained and it does not create a hanging culvert. Impacts to the banks of Big Sandy Creek will be minimal, as the banks are low and stable at this location. The site will be seeded with fescue on completion. Daylighting this trib across the neighboring private property is not feasible, as the adjacent land owner must use this area in order to access his property. Big Sandy Creek is classified as Trout Waters, and this project has been reviewed with staff from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission. Although this project will not involve in-stream work on Big Sandy, it will require impacts within the 25-foot wide trout buffer zone. On WRC's recommendation, and unless otherwise permitted by the reviewing agencies, DPR proposes to abide by the moratorium on land disturbance within the buffer zone from January 1 - April 15 in order to protect trout eggs and fry.

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Shortest distance taken to route the new culvert from the existing culovert to the bank of Big Sandy Creek. Construction timed to minimize impacts to trout eggs and fry. No in-stream construction in Big Sandy Creek. Culvert outfall designed to be at stream level to maintain aquatic passage and avoid hanging culvert. No disturbance to stream bottom in Big Sandy, minimal impacts to stream bank. Site where the culvert will be located is already stable with lawn grass, so ground disturbance will be minimized. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. The unnamed trib will be piped around while the new culvert channel is built and the new culvert will be installed in the dry. Appropriate erosion control measures will be taken to avoid runoff into Big andy Creek during culvert installation. The site will be seeded and covered with straw immediately following installation, and erosion control measures will remain in place until the site is stabilized. Installation will occur only during dry weather. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for ?

Raleigh 5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. ? Asheville 5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? There are no rare species records known specifically from the project site, and Big Sandy Creek has been extensively altered in this area by adjacent park neighbors. Previous reviews with USFWS for other park projects indicate two park records (1977 and 2000) for one species listed as Federally Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance: the bog turtle (Glypemus muhlenbergii). The 1977 record was collected by the NC Museum of Natural History from the East Prong Roaring River, and the 2000 record was radio- tagged and monitored until its signal was lost in the East Prong Roaring River near the park boundary, which is several miles distant from this site. There have been no sightings of this species since 2000. The park does have records for Robust Redhorse (Moxostoma robustum, US - Federal Species of Concern, NC- Endangered) from 1996, several miles from this site, in Bullhead Creek. There is also a 2008 record for Foothills Stream Crayfish (Cambarus johni, NC - Significantly Rare) from East Prong Roaring River. Big Sandy Creek flows to East Prong Roaring River; however, both of these records are significant distances from the project site. DPR biologists have not documented any of these species at the project site. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's GIS database does not show any state or federaly-listed species associated with this site. The NC Divison of Parks and Recreation's Natural Resources Inventory Database does not show any state or federally- listed species associated with this site. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ? Yes ® No 6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat? Review of EFH mapping from National Marine Fisheries Service. 7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement) 7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation ? Yes ® No status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in North Carolina history and archaeology)? 7b.
