APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
?.. j;
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.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 55 linear feet of
Hogeye Branch and an unnamed tributary to Hogeye Branch (55 linear feet of new pipe) in order to make
improvements to NCSR 1393 (Hogeye Road) in Buncombe County. The project must be constructed in accordance
with the application dated February 26, 2004 (received March 1, 2004), 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 No. 3404, corresponding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit
Number 14. 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 of
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 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 footprii
of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Application. All construction activities, including tI
design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practice
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 extel
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, the
shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Qualit
has released the project.
4. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growin
season following completion of construction. The WRC recommends not using tall fescue in riparian areas an
encourages DOT to use erosion control matting instead of straw mulch in riparian areas. NCWRC is als
requesting that temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation be planted on all bare soil as soon as possible an
within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
5. Stormwater should be directed to vegetated buffer areas, grass lined ditches or other means appropriate to the sit
for the purpose of pre-treating stormwater runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams. Mowing c
existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater sheet flow.
6. Culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of thei
size to allow for aquatic life passage. Culverts that are 48-inch diameter or larger should be buried at least I
inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom material to become established in the culvej
following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. This may requir
increasing the size of the culvert to meet flow conveyance requirements. If any of the existing pipes are perchec
they shall be removed and replaced, and re-installed correctly, unless demonstrated that this is topographical)
unfeasible.
7. Removal of vegetation at the stream crossing and adjacent to streams should be minimized. Native trees an
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 contrc
in the vicinity of the road crossing and along the streams within dedicated rights of way.
8. Riprap placed for bank stabilization should be limited to the streambank below the high water mark, any
vegetation should be used for stabilization above the high water elevation.
9. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimiz,
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
10. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to preven
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
11. 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.
12. If concrete is used during culvert installation (e.g., headwalls), a dry work area should be maintained to preven
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 fish kills.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is strictly prohibited.
14. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or othe
materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediat(
vicinity of the culverts. Instream dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life and disturbance of the natura
form of the stream channel will likely cause downstream erosion problems, possible affecting other landowners.
15. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking movement o
aquatic life.
16. This certification does not authorize the discharge of waste rock and dirt into the stream or riparian zone excep
for permitted areas associated with culvert conditions.
17. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
. Mr. J`J. Swain, Jr., P.E.

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 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality upon completion of the project. 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 Ms. Cynthia Van Der Wiele at 919.733.5715 or Mr. Mike Parker of the

SR 1393, Hogeye Road

State Project No. 13C.011025(DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Buncombe County, NC
Dear Mr. Lund:
I have enclosed a straight-line diagram with erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed project on SR 1393, Hogeye Road,
Buncombe County, NC.
Hogeye Road is currently a 14-16 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 three existing culverts on Hogeye Branch and an UT. Total culvert
extensions will be 55 linear feet. No stream relocation will be performed for the project.
Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the
culvert. The culvert will be placed below existing streambed elevation. Riparian
vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with the culvert
extension. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers
prior to entering streams.
No significant effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their
habitats is anticipated.

associated with the project construction.
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
Page 5 of S
AIM
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - 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
litti):/,/ h-o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlandsistrnigide.litnil.
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
tt separate sheet if more space is needed.

Xl. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acreage (both 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.
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 butters prior to entering the streams.
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)- N/A
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No X
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No X
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.

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.

®0
A pipe outlet energy dissipator shall be used at outlets to slow
pipe 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: f
• 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.

TEMPORARY SILT DITCH:
TSD -
A temporary silt ditch shall be used in place of silt fence in many situations.
Temporary silt ditches shall be used at the toe of fill slopes to diver'Lmnoff into
sediment basins, temporary rock sediment dams, temporary rock silt-checks and/or-
other sedimentation control measures. Temporary silt ditches are approximately 1
ft: deep, 2:1 side slopes with an optional earth berm.
AREAS OF USE:
• Toe of fill slopes where fill exceeds 3 ft in vertical height.
• Along streams to intercept flow and/or divert to a controlled outlet.

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:
• 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
Steel posts length 5 ft 5 ft.
Post spacing 10 ft. 6 ft. maximum

DWQ Project No. 041936
Bridge No. 35 NCSR 1907 (NCMA 13006B)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.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 75 linear feet of
Jacob Fork Creek (installation of two (2) bridge piers and 75 feet of rip rap for stream bank stabilization under bridge) in
order to construct a new bridge on NCSR 1907 in Burke County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the
application dated December 1, 2004 (received December 3, 2004), 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 Number 31. 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
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 Sun face 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. The NCDOT shall use Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface JVaters (NCDOT August 2003) and
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 413 .0124 (a)-(e)]. Temporary
or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 5 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 activities are prohibited during the fish-spawning season of May 1 through July 15, to prevent off-site
sedimentation from impacting fish eggs and fry in downstream waters.
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. The bridge must not
contain deck drains that discharge to Jacob Fork Creek. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly
discouraged, so that they may be utilized for stormwater diffuse flow.
7. 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 new bridge and along the stream where the old bridge will be removed.
8. This certification does not allow causeways or temporary work structures to be placed in the stream.
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 bridge, 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 to allow 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 in the stream associated with the new bridge construction and old bridge removal 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 bridge 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 p1I and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
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 bridge construction. 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.
17. 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 bridge construction.
Mr. d. J. Swain, Jr., P.E.
December 16, 2004
Page Three
18. Discharge of materials into surface waters from demolition of the old bridge should be avoided as much as possible.
Any material that reaches surface waters should be removed.
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.

Dear Mrs. Pennock:
I have enclosed plan sheets and cross-sections, a PCN application for RCP #31, and a
vicinity map relative to the NC Moving Ahead bridge replacement project on SR 1907,
Burke County, NC.
We propose to replace the existing timber/steel bridge with a three span cored slab
bridge. The new bridge will be 35 feet wide by 110 feet long. The current structure is
narrow, with bad alignment, in poor condition, and needs replacement. Construction
activities will be conducted from dry work areas whenever possible. Existing channel
morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the bridge. Riparian
vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with project.
No federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or critical habitats will be affected
by the proposed project.
By copy of this letter, we request the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
Coordinator, to comment directly to the Corps concerning the permit request.
Erosion control measures will be employed from the "Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Guidelines for Division Maintenance Operations" and reviewed by Mr. Ed Ingle,
Roadside Environmental Field Operations Engineer.

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 bridge must be renlaced due to the poor condition of the structure. The
proposed design will maintain a floodplain under the bridge No deck drains will be placed over
Jacob Fork Creek.
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
Page 5 of 8
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
htth•// i2o enr state nc.us/ncwctlands/strmt;ide.htmi.
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.
N/A
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 http•'/h'o enrstite nc.us/«rp`index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
