The impact will consist of fill and a culvert with dissipation for a driveway (NWP 39) as well as riprap stabilization for a BMP outfall (NWP 43). The total impact to the stream is 103 If. Brushy Mountain Builders plans to develop the site as retail and/or restaurant space. At this time only the driveway is being constructed with design and development of the property and stormwater BMP to shortly follow. One copy of the permit application has been submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers.

If the delineation obscures any of the features, it is recommended that a clean copy be provided. Copies of the Version 1.4 January 9, 2009 current soil survey and/or soil survey map sheets can be obtained from the local NRCS County Office (http://www.nc.nres.usda.gov/). GIS soil layers are not acceptable. ® Vicinity map - Please clearly mark the location and approximate boundaries of the property and project on the map. Please indicate north arrow and scale. Please include applicable road names or State Road numbers. ® The Site Plan - The most critical map to be provided is the site plan. You must provide full sized plans. The following is the minimum list of plans that are typically needed. ® Pre-construction/Pre-existing conditions - This sheet (or sheets) must include: • All jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, State regulated buffers (delineated into Zones 1 and 2) • Topographic contours with elevations • Any existing structures and impervious areas • Existing utility lines and easements • Existing roads, culverts, and other pertinent features • North arrow and the scale (1":50' scale is recommended). ® Proposed conditions - This sheet (or sheets) must include: • All jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, State regulated buffers (delineated into Zones 1 and 2) • Lot layout (if a subdivision or commercial development is proposed) - lots must be developable without further impacts to jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetlands, streams, water features, and State regulated buffers. Building envelopes must be provided when streams, wetlands, riparian buffers, or water features exist on a lot • All built-out structures and impervious cover • Final grading contours with elevations • All utilities and easements (including septic fields on all lots within 100 feet of stream, wetland, or water features - if applicable) • Impacted areas - these should correspond with the Impact numbers listed on your PCN form. ® Drainage Plans - Final drainage plans must include the following: • Locations and pertinent elevations and sizes of the stormwater collection system and drainage ways • All inlets and outlets must also be shown with pertinent elevations (All outlets to wetlands must be at a non-erosive velocity, generally less than 2 ft/sec during the peak flow from the 10-yr storm) • Scaled stormwater BMPs must also be indicated as required by DWQ rules and policies • In certain cases (see Section E of PCN form), final stormwater management plans must also be provided (see Stormwater Management Plan Checklist) ® Proposed Impacts - All impacts to jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be shown and labeled on the site plans at a scale no smaller than 1" = 50'. All excavation, fill, flooding, stabilization, and other impacts that will be conducted in or near jurisdictional and non jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be indicated. Please provide cross sectional details showing the provisions for aquatic life passage (burial of culvert 20% for culverts <_ 48 inches, and 1-foot for culverts > 48 inches). Version 1.4 January 9, 2009 N/A Wetland Impacts: ? Precise grading and final elevation contours must be provided. Existing vegetation and any clearing must be specified. ? All subsurface utility lines must indicate the location of anti-seep collars. Construction detail for anti-seep collars must be provided. ? Roadway or other crossings of riparian wetlands may require floodway culverts to maintain existing hydrological conditions. ? Plans should show that the hydrology of remaining wetlands on the site will be maintained. Stream Impacts: ® Stream impacts must be clearly shown on the plans. The centerline as well as the banks of the stream must be surveyed or located by GPS for the portion of the stream to be impacted. ® The inlet and the outlet of all culverts should be aligned with the stream as much as possible. Inlet and outlet elevations and streambed elevations should be indicated. Any inlet or outlet protection must be shown and enumerated on the impact map(s). N/A ? For bottomless culverts or other spans, a vertical cross section should be provided that shows the minimum distance from each span to each stream bank, the stream cross section, the height of the span above the stream and the minimum distance from the edge of each footer to each stream bank. Additionally, please provide a signed and sealed geotechnical report of subsurface soils at the proposed bottomless culvert location. The report must comply with the Division of Highways - Guidelines for Drainage Studies and Hydraulic Design, prepared by A.L. Hankins, Jr., State Hydraulics Engineer - 1999. N/A ? Multiple culverts or sectioned box culverts typically require the use of sills, off- setting or other means to match the cross section of the existing stream (in order to maintain stream stability and provide aquatic life passage). A vertical cross section of the culverts should be shown overlain with the up and downstream stream cross section including the stream flood-prone area. N/A ? Impacts associated with dam construction must indicate and enumerate all fill associated with the dam footprint, spillway and any bank stream bank stabilization.
