SUBJECT: Bank Stabilization/Mmor Stream Relocation, Hwy 27, Lincoln County
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests authorization to install a bankfull rock bench
and gabion wall bank protection along a section of an unnamed tributary to Indian Creek located adjacent
to the N.C. Highway 27 embankment in Lincoln County. The scope of the work will permanently impact
70 linear feet of the jurisdictional waters associated with the unnamed tributary to Indian Creek, which is
classified as WS-II Waters (HQW) by the Division of Water Quality.
The road embankment/streambank is unstable and is sloughing off into the stream. The embankment has
eroded to within 5 feet of the highway. There is a concern that with future heavy rainfall events, the
roadway will be eventually be undermined and collapse. The bottom of the road embankment fill must
be extended out to allow stabilization of the embankment and reconstruction of the road shoulder;
therefore, an existing 70-foot bench (located along the opposite bank within the banlfull channel width)
must be removed to relocate the normal flow stream channel to this area. A 70-foot long, 4-foot wide
rock bankfull bench will be constructed along the base of the roadway embankment; approximately 1.5
cubic yards/foot of rock is below average high water. A gabion basket wall will be constructed
(extending from the top of the rock bench to the roadway elevation), which will allow the construction of
an adequate road shoulder. Streambed material will be salvaged from the stream before the stream
relocation and placed in the new constructed channel.
A reference cross-section (Chart 1) was surveyed at a point -80 feet downstream of the failing bank to
determine the "normal" channel dimensions. The stream width was determined to be 6-7 feet and the
bankfull width, 9-10 feet; with a bankfull height of -1.2 feet. These reference dimensions will be utilized
to reconstruct the streambank and channel. An existing and proposed stream channeUstreambank cross-
section in the area of the bank failure is shown for comparison in the Chart 2. Chart 3 shows the existing
and proposed thalweg profiles for the 70-foot longitudinal section of stream channel

Hwy 27 Bank Stabilization
Page 2
May 23, 2005
The embankment stabilization necessitates the straightening of the stream for this project; therefore, it is
anticipated that velocity energy will increase during high flows. Two cross vanes/pools will be
constructed at each end of the rock bench/gabion wall in an effort to dissipate energy within the stream
channel and to control the grade of the stream. The right sills of the vane will connect to the rock bench.
This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for this project and is recommending a finding of "no
effect" for T &E species and historical structures. The project is not located within %i mile of the critical
watershed area, therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the hazardous spill basin
checklist.
Enclosed is a pre-construction notification for NWP # 13 (Bank Stabilization) and NWP#27 (Stream
Restoration), sketches of planned activities, photographs of the site, and location maps relative to the
project.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at [phone]. Thank you for
your time and consideration to this matter.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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. N applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The stabilization project must be done to prevent the continuing erosion ofthe streambank/
roadway embankment. There is a valid concern that future storms will undermine the road and
will cause the roadwav to collapse. The stream will be diverted during the vroiect to minimize
disturbance.
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 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
html.
hn://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.
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 (acreagellinear 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.
ONSITE MITIGATION PLAN: Reference cross sections were taken in more stable areas of the
stream to establish a "normal" stream width, bankfull width and bankfull depth The stream will
be reconstructed to -5 foot width with a five foot wide rock bench to be constructed at the base
of the embankment adjacent to the stream channel. The rock bench is to be constructed to the
bankfull height to allow bankfull flow access. Due to the strai tening?of the stream within the
terrace banks, it was necessary to provide some energy dissipation during high water events..
Two cross vanes with pools will be constructed at each end of the rock bench/gabion wall in an
effort to dissipate energy within the stream and to control the grade of the stream
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
