DWQ Project No. 061545
NCSR 1295 (Colebrook Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., Y.E.
Division Engineer
N C Department of Transportation
Post Office Box 3279
Asheville, North Carolina 28802
Dear Mr. Swain:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 10 linear feet in an
unnamed tributary to Pole Creek and temporary dewatering (10 linear feet of new pipe and temporary dewatering), in
order to make improvements to NCSR 1295 (Colebrook Road) in Buncombe County. The project should be constructed
in accordance with your application dated September 20. 2006 (received September 22, 2006), including the
environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this
fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3404 and 3366, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 33. In addition, you must acquire any other federal, state or local permits
before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and
Water Supply Watershed regulations. This Water Quality Certification will expire with the accompanying 404 Permit
issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new
owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.

c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
2. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory
mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
4. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams and wetlands, shall be placed below the elevation of the
streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48-inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter
for culverts having a diameter less than 48-inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and
placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a
manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands, streambeds or banks, adjacent to, or upstream and down stream
of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that equilibrium is being maintained, if
requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures must be installed and maintained on the project site to
minimize sediment transport to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary cover (wheat, millet or similar annual
grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within fifteen (15) days of ground disturbing
activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion control mating should be used in conjunction with appropriate
seeding on disturbed soils in steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples or
wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas.
6. Stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for
the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff prior to discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated
buffers is strongly discouraged.
7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, should not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
8. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
9. Any riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the streambank below the high water mark, and
vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water elevation. Riprap should not be place in the active
thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in such a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering
boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
10. Heavy equipment should be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected daily and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
12. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid impeding aquatic life movement.
13. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by the certification.
14. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the Water
Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer and the
on-site project manager.
15. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by high visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.E.
October 10, 2006

16. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a drywork area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures should be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
17. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
18. If concrete is used during construction (e.g., headwalls), a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct
contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be
discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
19. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
20. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State or Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being met
(including failure to sustain a designated achieved use) or that State of Federal law if being violated, or that further
conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
21. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with the bank stabilization work.
22. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
23. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer, shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This
form shall be returned to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act
within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions arc final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

S.R. 1295, Colebrook Road
State Project No. 13C.011025 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Buncombe County, NC
Dear Mr. Baker:
v I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14 & #33, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed project on S.R. 1295
Colebrook Road, Buncombe County, NC.
Colebrook Road is currently a 12-14 feet wide gravel road. Division of Highways plans
to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. Grading will be light.
We propose to extend one (1) pipe culvert on an unnamed tributary to Pole Creek. Total
culvert extensions will be 10 linear feet. The UT is approximately 1-2 foot wide stream
with riffle/pool habitats and cobble/gravel substrate. Bed/bank features are prominent.
No stream relocation will be performed for the project. Existing channel morphology
will be maintained upstream and downstream of the culverts. The culvert will be placed
below existing streambed elevation. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along
disturbed areas associated with the culvert extensions. Stormwater will be diverted
through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Page 5 of 9
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
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. The existing. secondary road
must be improved to meet current safety standards for paved roads. The nine culvert extension
requested is the minimum necessary to establish an appropriate typical section for the roadway.
Riparian vegetation will be established on disturbed areas associated with the nroiect
construction.
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, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm?,,ide.html.
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.
We do not feel that mitigation is warranted due to the minimal impacts of the nine culvert
extension Additionally, naving_of the roadway should eliminate sedimentation from fines
associated with gravel roadway.
Page 6 of 9
If required we propose to utilize the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for the
mitigation requirements for the proposed impacts NCDOT will be coordinating with the
EEP to obtain the appropriate mitigation credits if required.
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
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will 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•//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.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):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ® No E]
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No

attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) - N/A
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
' map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
Page 7 of 9
213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ? No
If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.

* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all
within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or .0244, or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The existing compacted gravel roadway acts as
an impervious surface Paving of the roadway should eliminate sedimentation from fines
associated with gravel surface treatment The roadway surface will be 40% of right of way
acreage Stormwater will be diverted through settling basins or grass lined buffers prior to
entering the streams
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
N/A
XIIf. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes E] No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Enhancement, or Payment into the
appropriate information as identified
Page 8 of 9
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
With regard to hazardous spill basins the road is not classified as an arterial route; therefore
hazardous spill basins are not required.
