DWQ Project No. 051332
NC SR 1310 (Wayah Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J. B. Setzer, P.E.
Division Engineer
N C Department of Transportation
253 Webster Road
Sylva, North Carolina 28779
Dear Mr. Setzer:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 100 linear feet of
Wayah Creek (100 linear feet of rip rap and ring nets), in order to repair the failing retaining wall adjacent to NCSR 1310
(Wayah Road) in Macon County. The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated July 14,
2005 (received July 20, 2005), including the environmental comments made in the application letter. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3399, corresponding
to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 13. 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.
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. Any reclamation measures and impl?rrie ntation 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. In-stream work should not be performed during the trout-spawning season of October 15 through April 15.
5. The NCDOT shall use Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters (NCDOT August 2003) and
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B.0124 (a)-(e)]. Temporary
cover (wheat, millet or similar annual grain) or permanent herbaceous cover should be planted on all bare soil within
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. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below this work, should not be modified by widening or
narrowing the stream channel or reducing the stream depth. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to
natural geomorphic conditions.
7. 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.
8. Riparian vegetation should be preserved to the extent possible. Native trees and shrubs (e.g. Rhododendron, dog
hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and red maple) should be restored wherever possible
along the repaired slope and streambank to reestablish the riparian zone and to provide long-term erosion control.
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 stream
channels in such a manner that it impedes aquatic life passage. The rocks placed on the bank should be backed with
filter cloth and should be clean and sediment free.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Excavation in the stream channel 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.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
strictly prohibited.
14. If concrete is used during the construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shout not be discharged to
surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
15. 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 bank stabilization work. In-stream 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.
16. 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.
17. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions (below bankfull).
18. Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion " form
to notify 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.

Subject: Nationwide 13, 33 Permit Application
SR 1310, Wayah Creek Road
Macon County
State Project No. 140.056009 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Dear Ms. Pennock:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace an existing
retaining wall with a rock toe scour protection utilizing ring nets for stabilization on SR 1310,
Wayah Road, in Macon County. Temporary shoring using soil nails and a shotcrete facing will
be required to safely remove the existing wall. The proposed improvements of SR 1310 have
been identified as necessary maintenance and safety improvements. Funds have been allocated
for this project, and NCDOT would like to perform these activities sometime during the 2005
paving season.
I am sending a toe scour protection installation detail as well as a marked county map and USGS
quad map. We propose to install the toe scour protection slightly above the normal stream
elevation to minimize impacts to aquatic habitats and allow the existing stream gradients to
remain as unchanged as physically possible. No threatened or endangered species are known to
be present in or near the project area; therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated from
project construction. If the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Office of State
Archaeology determines that further investigations are required, NCDOT will conduct the
appropriate site investigations and obtain compliance from SHPO prior to project construction.
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and erosion
on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to
ensure sedimentation and erosion is being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not
functioning as intended, they will be immediately replaced with better devices. The rock silt
screens and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to pipe culvert construction and
will remain in place until the project is stabilized.

will be minimized to the greatest extent possible
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 equalIto one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to ' perennial
streams.
Page 6
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 NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
