UENR - WATER
'"TtArvosAnro S QUALITY
BRUCH
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 45 linear feet of three
(3) unnamed tributaries to Big Laurel Creek, three (3) unnamed tributaries to Little Laurel Creek and two (2) unnamed
tributaries to Allen Creek (45 linear feet of new culvert) in order to make safety improvements to N. C. Highway 208 in
Madison County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the application dated January 4, 2005 (received
January 10, 2005), 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 approval will expire with
the accompanying 404 Permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
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.
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
b
c.
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
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.
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. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the
impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable.
If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Quality has released the project.
4. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures should be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities
to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be
planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. Erosion
control matting 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, stakes or, wherever possible, live stakes and native trees. Tall
fescue and straw mulch should not be used in riparian areas. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the
construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction.
5. In-stream construction and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-
spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from sedimentation in
downstream waters during construction.
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, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing of existing
vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater diffuse flow.
7. Culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of their size
with the floor of the culvert placed in the main flow channel or thalweg to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts
that are 48-inch diameter or larger should be buried at least 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream
bottom material to become established in the culvert following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during
periods of low flow. This may require increasing the size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements. If
any of the existing pipes are perched, they shall be removed and replaced, and re-installed correctly, unless
demonstrated that this is topographically unfeasible.
8. Removal of vegetation at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams should be minimized. Native trees and shrubs
(e.g. Rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be
planted along the streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control in the vicinity
of the road crossing and along the streams within dedicated rights of way.
9. 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.
10. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the culvert, should not be modified by widening
the stream channel or reducing the stream depth. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural
geomorphic conditions aquatic life and/or fish passage.
11. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and to reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
12. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
13. Excavation of the stream crossings and relocations should be conducted in the dry, if possible. Sandbags, cofferdams,
flexible pipe or other diversion structures should be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
14. If concrete is used during culvert installation (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.
15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
strictly prohibited.
16. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other
materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate
vicinity of the culverts. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life, and disturbance of the natural form
of the stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possibly affecting other landowners.
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.E.

17. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking movement of aquatic
life.
18. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone except for
permitted areas associated with culvert conditions.
19. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions (below bankfull).
20. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form
to notify the NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party
shall complete the attached form and return it to the Transportation Permitting Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality upon completion of the project. The NCDOT is strongly advised to send in photographs upstream and
downstream of each structure to document correct installation.
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 are 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 or Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.
Sincerely,

State Project No. MA13030R/ 37833 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Madison County, NC
Dear Mrs. Pennock:
I have enclosed the applicable straight-line diagram sheets with erosion control plan, a
PCN application for NWP #14 and NWP #33, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed
project on NC 208 from US 25/70 to the Tennessee State line, Madison County, NC.
NC 208 is currently a 20-foot wide paved road. Division of Highways plans to pave an
additional 4 feet (2 feet on each side of the road) for additional shoulder.
We propose to extend three (3) existing culverts on Unnamed Tributaries (UTs) to Big
Laurel Creek, three (3) existing culverts on UTs to Little Laurel Creek, and two (2)
existing culverts on UTs to Allen Creek. The streams are approximately %2-1 foot wide
spring fed channels with sandy fines and bedrock substrate with some areas of vegetated
channel. Total culvert extensions will be 45 linear feet. Existing channel morphology
will be maintained upstream and downstream of the culvert. The culverts 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.
Please note that photographs of the UTs associated with the culvert extensions were not
taken due to traffic safety concerns along NC 208.
No effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their habitats is
anticipated.

construction.
Page 5 of 8
VIII. Mitigation - N/A
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 March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP 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
htt-p:/ih2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrnp-ide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
We propose to utilize the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for the mitigation
requirements NCDOT will be coordinating with the EEP to obtain the annronriate
mitigation credits
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at httv://h2o.eur.state.ne.us/=/index.htm. If

XIV. 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.

EROSION CONTROL PLAN SHEET
Silt fences and temporary silt ditches shall be installed after clearing and
before grading.
Temporary stone ditch checks shall be installed as soon as ditch line is
established.
Pipe outlet and inlet protection will be done as soon as the pipe is installed.
Silt basins (Type B) will be constructed to the dimension of nine feet by
three feet by two feet unless otherwise noted on plans. (See SB-9 on
dimension sheet)
Seeding and other permanent erosion control measures are to be
implemented as soon as practical.
Temporary rock silt checks (Type B) will be spaced as required by percent
of grade.

z
Stage Seeding:
The work covered by this section shall consist of the establishment of a vegetative cover
on cut and fill slopes as grading progresses. Seeding and mulching shall be done in stages
on cut and fill slopes which are greater than 20 feet in height or greater than 2 acres in
area. Each stage shall not exceed the limits stated above.

PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock silt
screens will be used.
2) Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as possible,
material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from the
project.
3) Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping
from the project. Where possible, new grade will be below the existing
streambed. If needed, bedding material will be clean stone.
4) Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5) Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also complete
installation of erosion control measures and perform maintenance as
needed on existing measures.
6) Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
PIPE OUTLET ENERGY DISSIPATOR: .
A pipe outlet energy dissipator shall be used at pipe outlets to slow the water
velocities when it exits the pipe and flows out ditched or natural waterways. It is
an apron of stone of a sufficient thickness to protect the outlet area from scouring
out and causing off-site sedimentation damage. Pipe outlet energy dissipators
should be built according to the guideline chart shown on page VIII-3 of this
manual.
AREAS OF USE:.!
• Outlets of pipes* and culverts to prevent scouring.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• In accordance with chart on page VIII-3.
• Filter fabric, or six inch layer of gravel, shall be used under stone.
MATERIALS:
• Filter fabric shall meet requirements of section 1056 of Standard
Specifications for Roads and Structures, January 1, 1990, for type II filter
fabric.

SILT BASIN TYPE-B:
A silt basin type-B is a temporary basin built to collect sediment flowing through a
drainage way. The silt basin is built at the base of the ditch with its length being at
least 2 times the width of the basin. The type-B silt basin is generally built in
conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices that control or slow
down water flow. This device must be monitored closely and cleaned out on a
regular basis until grass is established along the ditch line and sedimentation is no
longer a problem.
AREAS OF USE:
• In conjunction with temporary rock silt checks and other devices used in
drainage ditches.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
• Width - variable
• Length - 2 times width
• Depth - 2 ft. minimum storage - 1800 cubic feet/acre (equals L x W x D)

TEMPORARY SILT FENCE:
'!'
A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of a fill section to prevent off-
site sedimentation. It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at the bottom,
stretched and supported by steel posts. The silt fence reduces the water flow while
retaining the sediment. They may also be used to divert water flow to protected
outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant rainfall to ensure there
effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall not be
installed across streams, ditches, or waterways.
AREAS OF USE: r
• At toe of fill sections where sediment runoff can be stored and contained
inside the project limits.
DESIGN CRITERIA:
Material With Wire Without Wire
Fabric Type 3 Class A Type 3 Class B

ROCK SILT SCREEN:
A rock silt screen is a low-level dam structure to be used in streams below culvert
sites. Rock silt screens"shall be used to trap sediment transported by.running water;
and shall tie 'placed in the stream below the nnstruction_ site within tlie*right-df- , -'
way:or easement boundary: `The rock silt screen utilizes class B stone lined with #5
or #57 stone to produce a ripple-effect in the stream to settle the larger sediment
particles transported in -the stream from the construction site. The trapped sediment
shall be cleaned out before the device is removed from the stream. -
AREAS OF USE:
• In live streams below construction sites where construction occurs in or
adjacent to the stream.
• In live streams below a culvert construction site.
• Where it can be cleaned before it is removed from stream.
