DWQ Project No. 040614
SR 2079 (Burleson Branch Road)
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.E.
Division Engineer
WETLANDS / 401 GROOF',
N C Department of Transportation
Post Office Box 3279
Asheville, North Carolina 28802
Dear Mr. Swain:
WATER' c ttjAL.f 3F(;TPOf
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 20 linear feet of
Burleson Branch (20 linear feet of new pipe) in order to make improvements to NCSR 2079 (Burleson Branch Road)
in Buncombe County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the application dated April 19, 2004
(received April 21, 2004), including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. Please note that
Burleson Branch is classified WS-II-High Quality Waters. 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 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 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 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 and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout spawning
season of October 15 through April 15, to avoid adverse effects of sedimentation on the egg and fry stages of
trout, during construction activities. NCDOT shall comply with any other recommendations requested by the NC
Wildlife Resources Commission.
5. NCWRC recommends that temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil as
soon as possible and within 10 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. Tall
fescue should not be used in riparian areas. NCDOT is encouraged to utilize onsite vegetation and materials for
stream bank stabilization, when practicable. Erosion control matting should be used in riparian areas, instead of
straw mulch.
6. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
7. Stormwater should 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. Culverts that are less than 48-inch in diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than 20% of their
size 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
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, possible affecting other landowners.
Mr. J. J. Swain, Jr., P.E.
May 19, 2004
Page Three
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 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 Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

Subject: Nationwide Permit #14
SR 2079, Burleson Branch Road
State Project No. 13C.0I 1025(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 2079, Burleson
Branch Road, Buncombe County, NC.
Burleson 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 existing culvert on Burleson Branch. Total culvert extension
will be 20 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.

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 8
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
http://Ii2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwctlands/strmt;ide.litni1.
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 littp://li2o.enr.stite.nc.us/%v!p/index.litni. If

of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Page 7 of 8
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0260.
XI. 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 buffers 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 arteri
al route, therefore
hazardous spill basins are not reauired.
