Dear Mr. Setzer:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 67 linear feet of
Mason Branch, Falls Branch and an unnamed tributary to Alarka Creek (67 linear feet of new pipe) in order to make
improvements to NCSR 1140 (Alarka Road) in Swain County. The project must be constructed in accordance with the
application dated June 25, 2004 (received July 6, 2004) and modified application dated September 7, 2004 (received
September 14, 2004) including the environmental commitments made in the application letters. 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. 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. In-?stream construction 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 sensitive egg and fry
stages of trout.
5. Adequate sedimentation and erosion control measures should be implemented and maintained on the project site to
avoid 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. Areas around stream
crossings and adjacent to streams should be seeded and stabilized with anchored erosion control matting instead of
straw. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the
growing season following completion of 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 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. 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 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.
13. 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.
14. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
strictly prohibited.
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 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.
16. Rock check dams at culvert outlets should be removed at project completion to avoid blocking movement of aquatic
life.
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 culvert conditions.
18. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions (below bankfull).

19. 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. 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.

State Project No. 140.087014 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Dear Ms. Pennock:
Upon further evaluation of SR 1140 (Alarka Road) in Swain County, one other locations was
noted that need to be included in the permit application that was submitted in June of this year.
I am submitting the drawings and photos for these locations as well as the revised sheets of the
original application. 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.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
In order to construct the project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, it will
be necessary to impact waters of the United States in the Little Tennessee River Basin.
Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to extend/replace one metal culvert in Mason Branch (DWQ
Class C) and one metal culvert in Falls Branch (DWQ Class C) and on metal culvert in a UT to
Alarka Creek (DWQ Class C, TR, HQW). Listed below is a summary of the proposed impacts.

WATER QUALITY SECTION
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the aforementioned project.
Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making an informed permit decision. The permit
application was deficient in the following areas:
• During the site visit a stream was noted at Station 7+65 which was not listed on the 401Certification Application. It has been
determined that a revised 401 Certification application will be necessary before we can proceed with processing this application.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we receive additional
information. Furthermore, until the NC Division of Water Quality receives the information, we request (by copy of this letter) that the
US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mike Parker at 828-2964500.

SR 1140 - Alarka Road
Swain County
State Project No. 14C.087014 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Dear Ms. Pennock:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen, grade, and
pave SR 1140, Alarka Road, in Swain County from the end of pavement for a distance of 0.5
mile. This proposal entails widening and paving the existing gravel road to a standard 18-foot
roadway. The proposed improvements of SR 1140 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 2004-05 paving season.
I am sending a straight-line diagram with the proposed erosion control and construction limits
along this project. In addition, I am sending a typical section of the road, cross sections,
drawings for pipe culvert replacements as well as a marked county map and USGS quad map.
We propose to install the new culverts slightly below the existing streambed elevations where
bedrock is not encountered to minimize impacts to aquatic habitats and allow the existing stream
gradients to remain as unchanged as physically possible.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Database was checked for records of threatened and
i endangered species. There were neither records of listed species for Mason Branch and Falls
Branch nor the entire Alarka Creek watershed. The Little Tennessee River, to which Alarka
Creek is tributary, does support good populations of several federally listed species. However,
Alarka Creek is smaller and Fontana Lake has altered habitat within the lower reaches of Alarka
Creek and fragmented the riverine connection between the two streams. Potential habitat in
Alarka Creek has been surveyed previously without yielding records of threatened and
endangered species. The proposed culvert replacements and extensions are on small (4 feet and
1.5 feet in width) tributaries near the headwaters of Alarka Creek and the gradient in the upper
reaches is significantly higher than the occupied habitat along the Little Tennessee River. The
impacts from the culvert extensions will be minimal. For these reasons, there will be "no
effect" on threatened or endangered species.
Impacts to historic or cultural resources are not anticipated. 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.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
In order to construct the project in accordance with our current secondary road standards, it will
be necessary to impact waters of the United States in the Little Tennessee River Basin.
Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to extend/replace one metal culvert in Mason Branch (DWQ

landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): n/a
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts cannot be avoided. Culverts must be extended in order to gain the necessa[y width
to improve SR 1140 to current NCDOT standards All pipe extensions will be placed below the
existing stream bed gradient so natural substrate can be re-established.
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.
Page 5 of 8
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://h2o enr state nc.us/ncwetiands/strrn7ide.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 1,ttp://h2o.enr.st ite.nc.tis/NNrt)/indcx.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): n/a
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): n/a
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): n/a
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): n/a
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): n/a

Erosion Control Schedule
• Install erosion control measures according to plans in all outlets and at other
discharge points after clearing but before grubbing
• Clear and clean outfall ditches leaving side slopes at an angle that can be retained by
vegetation. These areas will require stage seeding and mulching.
• Begin grading of roadway ditches. Place erosion control measures along roadway
ditches as grading progresses and conditions allow.
• Seed and mulch all disturbed areas as soon as any phase of grading is completed.
(Note there are 15 working days/30 calendar days to complete seeding and mulching.
A working day is defined as a day exclusive of Saturday or Sunday during which
weather conditions or soil conditions permit land-disturbing activity.)
• Clean out and/or rework all temporary erosion control measures after any significant
rainfall event (or as otherwise needed). These measures should be maintained until a
permanent vegetative cover is established.
Wet Pipe Installation Schedule
• Install erosion control devices.
• Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as possible, material and
sediment from entering the stream and/or escaping from the project.
• Prepare pipe foundation while taking care to limit material and sediment from
entering the stream and/or escaping from the project. Where possible new grade
should be below the existing streambed. If needed, bedding material will be clean
stone (especially in Trout and HQW waters).
• Place new pipe and compact fill.
• 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.
• Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
