Do you know the name of the staff member you would like to request a meeting with?
Erin Davis
Please give a brief project description below.*
We believe that a pre -filing meeting is unnecessary for this project,
because a post -contract IRT meeting was held on 8/9/18 and the
DWR representative who attended this meeting was Mac Haupt.
The LIT to Rush Fork Stream Mitigation Project is located in the
Crabtree Community of Haywood County, NC. The project site is
located in the French Broad River Basin (06010106) and the NC
DMS Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) 06010106020010. The
project site is bisected by Rush Fork Road approximately 1.8 miles
north of its intersection with Silvers Coves Road.
The existing stream reaches have been significantly impacted by
unrestricted livestock access and removal of riparian buffers. Most of
the project reaches have cleared banks with a mix of small scattered
trees and stands of invasive species located at the top of bank.
Currently, the project reaches are unstable, incised, and exhibit
active bank erosion from both high flows and livestock access.
The project will involve the restoration and enhancement of
approximately 5,300 LF of existing stream. A Best Management
Practice (BMP) will also be implemented at the head of one of the
tributaries to treat nutrient and sediment laden run-off from the
surrounding pasture area. Degraded riparian wetlands will be
restored and/or enhanced with the implementation of Priority Level 1
restoration, livestock exclusion, and native riparian buffer plantings.
At this time, no wetland credit is being sought for the project. A
conservation easement will be implemented along all project reaches
in an excess of 30 feet from the top of bank and will incorporate
existing functional wetlands. The conservation easement will protect
the entire project area in perpetuity. Livestock will be excluded from
the conservation easement with permanent fencing.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
