However, the project consultants have indicated that the bridge impacts should not be necessary. I visited the project area on April 1, 2011. Comments from the Commission are provided under provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661- 667d). The project should not harm trout and it is not necessary to avoid constriction during the moratorium period. However, blotched chub (ErhWtax insigims, US-FSC and NC -SR) and French Broad River Crayfish (Cwnbmw rebw7w, US-FSC and NC -SR) are known from Hominy Creek. So, it is important that habitat disturbance and sedimentation in and near this stream be minimized to help conserve these sensitive species. During periods of high flow, Hominy Creek may be navigable by canoes and kayaks. Therefore, the sewer line and bridge should be sufficiently elevated above the river to not block passage. We recommend that the structures be a minimum of 4 feet above the normal high level of the creek. The Commission recommends that the following conditions be attached to the permit to help conserve aquatic resources: Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries - 1721 Mail Service Center - Raleigh, NC 27699 -1721 Telephone: (919) 707 -0220 - Fax: (919) 707 -0028 Enka Partners ofAsheville, LLC Page 2 April 18, 2011 Buncombe 1. Rock, sand, or other materials must not be excavated from stream channels except in the immediate 2. The culvert invert must be partially bedded below the stream grade (see Regional Condition 3.6) to facilitate fish passage and reduce outlet scour. 3. Structures that span Hominy Creek should not impede navigation. 4. The stream bottoms should not be covered with rip rap and any rock used for stabilization should only extend up the bank to the normal high water level. Vegetation should be used for stabilization above the ordinary high water level 5. Sediment and erosion control measures must be used and maintained until all disturbed soils are permanently stabilized. All bare soil should be seeded as soon as possible following ground disturbance. Erosion control matting should be used with seeding on disturbed stream banks and anchored with staples, stakes, or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. 6. Any concrete work must be isolated from water because uncured concrete can kill aquatic life. 7. Sandbags, flexible pipe, or other temporary diversion structures should be used where possible to avoid excavation in flowing water. S. Riparian vegetation, especially trees and shrubs, should be preserved as much as possible. Riparian vegetation along Hominy Creek is sparse, so fruther clearing should be avoided. Trees and shrubs should be cut with the roots remaining where temporary access is needed during construction. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at (828) 452- 0422 extension 24 if there are any questions about these comments. Sincerely, ':/� 14 .

Due to the size of your property and/or our present workload, the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner. For a more timely delineation, you may wish to obtain a consultant. To be considered final, any delineation must be verified by the Corps. X The waters and wetlands on your property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. _ The waters and wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on .

Action Id.: 2011 -00486 This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of COE's Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or wetlands without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311).
