Subject Nationwide Pernnt #14

State Project No 13C 01 1171 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $240)
Buncombe County NC
Dear Ms Beckwith
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 secondary road project on SR 2144
McDans Road Buncombe County NC
We propose to replace /extend one (1) pipe culvert on an unnamed tributary (UT) to
Gentry Branch Total culvert extension will be 10 linear feet with a temporary
impervious dike for dewatenng during installation The UT to Gentry Branch is an
approximately less than 1 foot wide stream with a predominately sand and gravel
substrate
Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the
culvert The culvert will be placed below existing streambed elevation whenever
possible Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with
the culvert extensions Stormwater will be diverted through grass -lined ditches or
vegetated buffers prior to entering streams
No effect on federally listed species (threatened or endangered) or their habitats is
anticipated
As a part of the 401 Certification process, a copy of the application will be forwarded to
the NC State Historic Preservation Office as required by Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and GS 121 -12(a)
