Proposed impacts resulting from the project include 2,445 linear feet of
perennial/important stream channel. The stream impacts are required for the
relocation of the tributary to a more natural position in the historic floodplain of
the stream. Pattern will be added to the stream in order to result in proper pool to
pool spacing. The existing channel bed elevation will be maintained and an inner
berm and floodplain bench will be excavated to add flood relief and reduce shear
stress on the banks. Structures such as rock cross vanes, A-vanes, j-hook vanes,
and rood wads will be used to provide grade control, added habitat, and bedform
diversity. We expect a net gain in stream from the restored channel of
approximately 3,090 linear feet. There will be no net loss of stream as a result of
the restoration.
If there is any additional information you need or any way we can assist in
expediting the processing of this application, please do not hesitate to contact me

Dear Mr. Webster:
On January 30, 2007 Environmental Banc and Exchange submitted a Restoration Plan for the subject
site. The plan proposes to restore a 2,445 ft section of an Unnamed Tributary to Lanes Creek.
Appropriate vegetation will be planted in S zones (stream channel to transitional) along the riparian
corridor. Successful completion of the project will restore the channelized degraded stream to a
more natural stable condition and provide a riparian buffer.
The Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has completed its review of the restoration plan and
has no additional comments at this time. Please proceed with acquiring all necessary permits and/or
certifications and complete the implementation of the earthwork portion of the mitigation project
(Task 4). A copy of this letter should be included with your 401/404 permit applications.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this matter further, please contact me at [phone]
or email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Guy C. earce

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
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 maybe 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.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The stream restoration site is currently maintained as an
active agricultural field. The site contains one unnamed tributary to Wicker Branch. The
unnamed tributary flows north to south and enters Wickers Branch at the property line. The
streams appear to have been historically straightened and have done through periods of
havin tg he riparian buffer cleared.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Proposed
improvements include relocating the unnamed tributary to a more natural position in the
center of the valley and the historic floodplain of the stream. Adding_pattern to the stream
would result in additional len tg h and proper pool to pool spacing. The existing channel bed
elevation will be maintained and an inner berm and floodplain bench will be excavated to
add flood relief and to reduce shear stress on the banks. Structures such as rock cross vanes
a-vanes, j-hook vanes, and root wads will be used to provide grade control, added habitat,
and/or bedform diversity. Construction of the project will include backhoes, excavators, and
other equipment appropriate to the work. The restoration plan is attached for your review.
This project is a Full Delivery Mitigation project for the EEP.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of this project is to restore the site
back to a naturally functioning stream system desi~rred to address and correct the impairment
issues typically associated with highly disturbed systems. The proposed work will provide
an ecological and functional improvement to the existing system by restoring the stream and
riparian habitat to a stream type and vegetative community for the given valley
watershed conditions.

wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Restoration activities will include the
relocation of the unnamed tributary to Lanes Creek, dewatering, excavation, the placement of
fill material (earth, rock, etc) followed by the installation of the in-stream structures (rock
cross vanes, a-vanes, root wads, etc) into new channels. The restoration plan is attached for
your review.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to

local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
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 maybe 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.. The goal of the proposed
restoration is to correct the current impairment issues and improve the ecological function of the
stream system. Benefits will include improved water quality by reducing_sediment load through
stabilization, reducin the input of nutrients, and other pollutants by establishing a forested
riparian buffer planted with native species. The impacts are necessary to restore a stable
dimension, pattern, and profile. Impacts to the existing channel are considered temporary based
on the increase in the length of stream channel that will result from the restoration.
Approximately 3,090 linear feet of stream channel will be restored.
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 January 15, 2002, 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
Page 10 of 13

lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
