4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The project site is located along the South Fork of the New River southwest of Piney Creek, NC. A sediment deposit on the opposite side of river has directed the thalwag to the bank.
The bank is severely eroded due to the pressure of the water and the lack of vegetation.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
✓ Yes r' No r Unknown

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
To repair and stabilize eroding banks by re-establishing proper bank profiles through bank reshaping and with 1 in -stream structure, to improve water quality. To improve habitat for
aquatic fauna and to improve the overall condition of the riparian areas at the site
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Eroding banks will be reshaped to approximately 2:1, or flatter and planted with native vegetation. One (1) rock vane will be constructed to divert the thalwag back to the center of the
stream. During construction a track hoe will do the work from the bank, although the track hoe may have to access the stream to construct the end of the rock vanes. After construction
the bank will be seeded with native grass seed and sloped bank will be covered with erosion control matting and anchored with live stakes and landscape staples. Flat areas will be
seeded and mulched with straw. All areas will be planted with live stakes (Silky Willow, Salix Sericea) (Silky Dogwood, Cornus amomum) (Elderberry, Sambucus canadensis) along with
native rhododendron mtn laurel and river birch.

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
This project will stabilize 191 If of eroding stream bank, reduce stream bank erosion, reduce in -stream sediment loads and improve in -stream aquatic
habitats. Stream aesthetics will be improved with the establishment of a well vegetated and functioning riparian zone.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
During construction, equipment will only access the stream when absolutely necessary. For this project, it is anticipated that most of the track hoe work
can be accomplished from the top of the bank. However, equipment may need access the stream during the construction when no other construction
alternative exists. Soil disturbance will be limited to what can seeded and stabilized in one day. Banks will be seeded and coir matting will be placed
and anchored with wooden stakes. Flat areas will be seeded and covered with straw.
