Purpose: The purpose of the meeting was to review and discuss the 30% drainage plans for STIP
A-0009CC. The limits of the A-0009 CC Section are NC 143 from 0.5 miles north of the Appalachian
Trail to NC 28 and NC 28 from NC 143 to 0.2 miles west of SR 1235 (Gunters Gap Road) for a length
of approximately 4.0 miles.
General Discussions:
ROW acquisition for A-0009 CC is September 2021 and Let is October 2022
The project was split into three sections for design and construction letting to allow for fair
competition for Letting and for efficiency of the design and review process. It is being designed
as a one continuous project to avoid losing continuity. The project will be permitted as one.

Meeting Discussions:
PSH 35:
Stream “SBB” (C), intermittent, on -L- at Station 419+30 LT upstream
Stream is approximately 1-2 feet wide on a 30% slope. A 24-inch CSP at 70% to a 30-inch RCP
at 1% is proposed. This system flows to Cody Branch.
This is a berm drainage outlet. Burial is not proposed due to the steep slope.
JS on upstream side only and terminates at concrete ditch
NCWRC asked where the water was flowing from and if there was a stream at the outlet
o There is a defined channel upstream that is funneling to this location
o USACE stated the stream is reflective of the PJD
o There are JS no waters identified downstream
USACE and NCDWR stated they were good with the design as proposed
Wetland “WBB”, headwater forest, riparian
Unavoidable impacts from proposed berm ditch
PSH 36:
No jurisdictional features are proposed to be impacted
EBCI requested an aerial image to match each plan sheet so that the team can orient themselves
in the project area
PSH 37:
No jurisdictional features are proposed to be impacted
PSH 38:
Stream “SBC” (C), perennial, on -L- at Station 458+25 LT & RT
Stream flows to Carver Branch. Stream is approximately 3-feet wide on a 35-55% slope. The
existing 36-inch CMP on 17% slope will be relined. The 36-inch CMP outlet is perched 5-feet.
The existing CMP will be replaced with a 36-inch CSP on a 4.7% slope at downstream end. The
pipe will not be buried due to steep slope. Class I Rip-Rap will be utilized for outlet channel
stabilization.
USACE asked if the outlet will be perched
TGS responded no, the outlet will be at-grade
NCWRC inquired about the relining process and how it works
TGS responded that it is a sleeve, and a spray-on resin will be used to adhere the
sleeve to the existing pipe. Relining will reduce the diameter of the pipe by
approximately 1-inch

Carver Branch (C), perennial, on -L- at Station 467+70 LT & RT
Stream is approximately 6- to 8-feet wide on a 20-40% slope upstream. Stream is
approximately 3-feet on a 28-35% slope downstream. The existing 36-inch CMP on 15%
slope will be relined. Class II Rip-Rap will be utilized for outlet protection.
PSH 39:
Wetland “WBW”, seep, non-riparian, on -L- (NC 143) at Station 473+00 on LT
No impacts to this feature
Stream “SBG” (C), intermittent, on -L- (NC 143) Station 472+50 LT to Station 474+00 RT
Stream is approximately 1-foot wide on a 6-14% slope. The existing system which flows to
Carver Branch will be replaced with a proposed 24-inch system on a 0.5-5.1% slope.
Minimal impacts to the left of -L- and unavoidable loss to the right of -L- due to proposed
roadway improvements
Stream goes underground at Structure 3902
Johnson Gap Branch (C), perennial, on -Y2- (NC 28) at Station 13+30
Stream is approximately 3- to 4-feet wide on a 10% slope upstream and 6% downstream. The
existing 36-inch CMP will be retained and relined with Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) at a 1.7%
slope. Class I Rip-Rap will be utilized to stabilize banks at the outlet.
NCWRC asked if there was any treatment for water that goes in the concrete ditches behind
the retaining walls
TGS stated that the project was topographically constrained. It was explained that
concrete ditches intercept clean water from offsite drainage which is primarily from
forested areas
NCWRC encouraged Team to get as much treatment as possible
Stream “SET” (C), intermittent, on -Y2- (NC 28) at Station 20+00 LT
Stream is approximately 2- to 3-feet wide on an 8% slope upstream. The existing system which
flows to Johnson Gap Branch goes underground to Structure #3904 where it will discharge in
a proposed 30-36-inch system on a 0.9 -7.9% slope.
PSH 40:
Wetland “WBV”, non-tidal freshwater marsh, riparian, on -Y2- at Station 26+00 to Station 27+00

Unavoidable minor impacts due to roadway improvements
Carver Branch (C), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 27+70 LT & RT
Stream is approximately 2.5- to 3.5-feet wide on a 20-30% slope upstream and 3- to 4-feet wide
on a 28% slope downstream. The existing 42-inch CMP will be retained and relined on a 15%
slope with the inlet changed to a 48-inch CSP on a 10% slope. The pipe will not be buried due
to the steep slope. Class II Rip-Rap will be utilized for outlet protection.

The existing 48-inch CMP driveway pipe will be replaced with a 54-inch CMP
USACE inquired about the berm and toe protection to wetland
TGS explained the toe protection detail and the purpose to ensure that freshly
compacted fill slope will not erode. It protects the toe of the proposed roadway
embankment because there is a notable drainage area
NCWRC asked about the slope of the new 48-inch CSP. Stating that assuming that there is
no fish passage due to the steep grade. Expressing that it would be great to see an area
where fish passage could be restored.
TGS agreed that it would be good to find a place to restore fish passage, but it would
not be in this area due to topography
Stream “SBC” (C), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 36+00 LT & RT
Stream which flows to Carver Branch is approximately 4-feet wide on a 20-30% slope upstream
and 2.5- to 6-feet wide on an 8% slope downstream. The existing 42-inch CMP on a 15% slope
with an outlet perched 7.5-feet will be replaced a proposed 48-inch system on a 1-45% slope.
The proposed system removes the 7.5-foot perched outlet. The outlets will be on a 1% grade to
minimize outlet velocity. Class I Rip-Rap will be utilized for outlet protection.
NCWRC asked if we were assuming there would never be fish passage, so the velocity is
being reduced for erosion purposes
o TGS confirmed and stated that fish passage is not feasible in this location
PSH 41:
Stream “SBD” (C), intermittent, on -Y2- at Station 44+50 LT
Stream flows to Carver Branch
Impacts are associated with bank stabilization. Class I Rip-Rap will be utilized stabilize bank
and for erosion control at outlet to Structure # 4106.
Stream “SFP” (C), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 47+00 to Station 49+50 RT
Stream which flows to Carver Branch is approximately 5-feet wide on an 9-18% slope. The
proposed channel realignment will be on an 11-19% slope. The new channel will be lined with
Class II Rip-Rap for stability
Stream “SFH” (C), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 49+00 to Station 53+00 LT
Stream is approximately 4- to 6-feet wide on a 16-22% slope upstream and 5-feet wide on a
12-16% slope downstream. The existing 42-inch CSP will be retained and relined with CIPP on
a 14% slope and extended with a 48-inch CSP on a 10% slope upstream and a 42-inch CSP on a
18% slope downstream. Downstream, the proposed channel change will be on a 6-15% slope
and lined with Class II Rip-Rap for stability.
NCDWR asked if consideration was given to build retaining walls in this area
TGS confirmed this curve is at the minimum radius to satisfy design speed and is
set to save several homes and removal of an access road at Station 39+00 LT which
serves numerous properties. A retaining wall option was evaluated; but much of the
stream would still be impacted plus a channel change was still required which made
the retaining wall option not feasible due to impacts.

NCDWR stated that they understood the justification for not placing a wall upstream but
there is more room downstream, so asked why not build a wall downstream. Stated could
present findings at CP 4C if the Team need time to evaluate.
USACE concurred
USACE reminded the Team that to lower the mitigation rate you must follow the stream
relocation guidance. Mitigation is going to depend on how this stream looks compared to
the current stream. Anything that the Team can to do to improve the stream or bring it back
to where it is now or better will help with mitigation
NCDOT asked will the larger Class II Rip-Rap bury the stream flow in the channel change.
TGS stated that it is proposed to be lined due to the steepness and that any proposed
Rip-Rap would be keyed in
PSH 42:
Stream “SFM” (C), intermittent, on -L- at Station 57+00 RT to Station 60+20 LT
Stream which flows to Carver Branch is approximately 1- to 2-feet wide on an 10-30% slope
upstream. Downstream, the stream is approximately 2- to 3-feet wide on a 19% slope.
There is unavoidable parallel stream loss due to proposed roadway improvements. The stream
will be lined with Class I Rip-Rap at Station 59+00.
The existing 24-inch CMP will be relined to a 25% slope and extended downstream with a 24-
inch CMP at an 18% slope. Class II Rip-Rap will be utilized for outlet protection.
USACE asked if the 24-inch pipe flows into Structure 4208 at 90° angle
TGS responded that what is shown is how the stream is flowing today
Stream “SFN” (C), intermittent, on -L- at Station 59+00 to Station 60+00 LT
Stream flows to Carver Branch. Possible impacts due to fill
Carver Branch (C), perennial, on -Y- at Station 66+70 – Major Hydraulic Crossing #21
Stream is approximately 6-feet wide on a 4-8% slope upstream and 5-13% slope downstream.
The existing 6-feet by 6-feet RCBC on a 6.4% slope will be extended downstream with a 6-feet
by 6-feet RCBC on a 7.4% slope.
The existing 2-foot perch downstream will be removed with the proposed extension. Class II
Rip-Rap will be utilized for bank stabilization for the outlet at Structure 4222.
NCDOT asked what storm event is 6x6 RCBC designed for
TGS answered that it does achieve a 50-year design
Stream “SBJ” (C), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 67+70 – Major Hydraulic Crossing #22
Stream which flows to Carver Branch is approximately 4-feet wide on an 8-10% slope upstream
and is approximately 4- to 6-feet wide on an 8-25% slope downstream.
The existing 42-inch CSP is on an approximate 10% slope and the 48-inch CSP that is on an 8%
slope will be replaced with a proposed 66-inch WSP at a 13.5% slope and a 66-inch CAAP on a
10% slope.

The proposed pipes will not be buried due to the steep slopes. The existing 2-foot perch
downstream will be removed with the proposed extension. The outlet channel will be lined
with Class II Rip-Rap for outlet stabilization.
PSH 43:
Stream “SBN” (C), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 76+00
Stream which flows to Carver Branch is 2- to 4-feet wide on a 3% slope upstream.
The existing 24-inch CMP is on a 2-6% slope and perched approximately 2-feet above water
surface with a 6-foot diameter scour hole at the outlet.
The proposed 42-inch RCP/WSP Trenchless will be buried 0.7-feet at the inlet and outlet on a
1% slope. Class I Rip-Rap will be utilized for outlet protection.
NCDWR stated that it appears flow is being potentially rerouted to this portion of the
stream and wanted to know if the channel could handle the added flow
TGS confirmed flow is being rerouted from Structure 4311 to the existing 24-inch
outlet. TGS responded that from a constructability juncture, this appears to be the
most practical location to align outlet Structure 4311 (due to drive and wall
constraints at Station 77+50 LT as well as proximity of stream to roadway
embankment).
TGS confirmed a smaller amount (@ 3 acres) is being rerouted from Structure 4305
due to poor existing drainage conditions on private property, particularly in the
vicinity of two home (Station 70+00 RT and Station 74+00 far RT). A large wide
grass line ditch was designed to slow the flow as much as possible
USACE stated that it might be best to create a better angle from Structure 4311 so stream
outlets better downstream
TGS confirmed they would consider but if Structure 4311 were shifted further
southeast, the outlet would be much closer to the JS because of streambank
topography (leaving less room to dissipate discharge before entering JS, etc.).
Agreed likely fine as is
TGS will confirm the capacity to make sure that this stream can adequately carry the extra
flow. TGS will be prepared to discuss at the next meeting. TGS inquired if there would be
any opposition to a floodplain bench above the normal water surface if extra conveyance
capacity is needed (to minimize permanent impacts to this existing channel).
USACE responded that they were not opposed to a floodplain bench
Stream “SBO” (C), intermittent, on -Y2- at Station 76+80 RT
Stream which flows to Carver Branch is 2- to 4-feet wide on a 3% slope.
Stream will be restored from Station 78+00 to Station 78+50 RT due to proposed removal of
the existing 18-inch CMP.
Proposed reestablished stream section to be lined with Class II Rip-Rap for stability due to
slope

Archaeological Area identified by Stream “SA” on -Y- at Station 93+00 to Station 96+00 LT
Minimal to no impacts are anticipated
PSH 45:
Stream “SBV” (C), perennial, on -Y3- at Station 13+30
The existing stream which flows to Edwards Branch is 2- to 3-feet wide on a 1.5-2% slope.
The existing system will be replaced with a 30-inch RCP on a 0.5% slope buried 0.5-feet.
The stream channel will be realigned downstream on -Y2- from Station 99+00 to Station 99+75
LT on a 0.5% slope.
Bill Crisp Road (-Y3-) will be realigned to the west to improve its intersection alignment with
Stecoah Road and to avoid parallel impacts to Edwards Branch.
Edwards Branch (C), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 99+80 – Major Hydraulic Crossing #24
Stream is 3- to 4- feet wide at a 1.5-2% slope.
The existing 66-inch CMP is proposed to be replaced with a 12-foot by 5-foot RCBC with sills
and baffles on a 4.3% slope (The CP 4B plans sent out on June 1, 2021, showed a 10-foot by 6-
foot RCBC but after coordination with our Structures Section, it was changed to a 12-foot by 5-
foot RCBC to provide adequate cover).
The proposed sill detail will remain unchanged with a 3-foot wide (low flow width) channel
meandering through the culvert to match the existing stream width. Class I Rip-Rap will be
utilized for bank stabilization at the inlet and outlet.
Historic Property Boundary right of -L- at Station 105+00 is outside of the proposed
construction impact area
USACE mentioned concerns regarding outletting at a sharp angle to Carver Branch and
requested that Team create as natural a flow as possible where these streams come
together
TGS noted the constrained area and agreed to evaluate and respond at the next
meeting
EBCI stated that they do not believe the [archaeological] sites have been fully investigated
and are still waiting on more reports which could potentially change the designs when
assessments have completed
TGS responded that the Team is fully aware of the sensitive sites along the project
and designed to avoid and/or minimize impacts. Team is aware that investigations
are ongoing and that results may require design changes

EBCI stated that they prefer to receive the draft archaeological report via email or a link
instead of a CD in the mail. Would prefer to receive GIS but any design file would work
CN stated that they would like a hard copy and the shape files, but their email system does
not accept files over 10MB
NCDCR stated that they would like to receive a copy of the draft archaeological report
EBCI stated that they prefer to obtain an encrypted link and can receive emails up to 100MB
TGS responded that they will make sure that interested Team members obtains a
copy of the draft archaeological report
Archaeological area on -Y2- at Station 102+80 to Station 104+50 RT
TGS will strive to minimize and hopefully avoid archaeological impacts
Wetland “WBR”, headwater, riparian, on -Y2- at Station 106+60 LT to Station 111+40 LT
Unavoidable minor impacts due to proposed roadway improvements
Stream “SCB” (C, Tr), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 109+70 to Station 111+90 LT
The stream which flows to Stecoah Creek is 1- to 3-feet wide on a 3-10% slope.
A channel change is proposed at Station 109+80 LT for a 15% slope and lined with Class II
Rip-Rap.
Impacts are unavoidable due to proposed roadway improvements
NCWRC questioned the reason behind changing the existing grade from 3-10% to 15% with
the channel change. Asking why this stream needs to be steepened
TGS stated that they are proposing short earthen berm since a flatter channel
change would impact more wetlands and streams
USACE stated that it is in a low area and requested that we discuss where it goes because it
looks like the storm flow is being diverted
TGS responded that the design avoids septic drain fields
USACE asked why stream was not routed across the road instead of remaining in the system
for so long. USACE asked why not try to daylight since the stream will be impacted
regardless
TGS stated that they could investigate going across the
road and would likely plan to do so
NCWRC asked if there was a natural channel change that
occurs before the stream goes into the pipes
TGS responded that it is hard to determine. The area is
very steep with a relatively steep drop at this section.
NCWRC questioned if the area was too steep for fish passage
and if the short rocky slopes of the stream before it goes into
the pipe could be made passable by fish by utilizing a natural
channel design or if the rest of the system in the area would preclude fish passage any way

USACE asked if fish were present, what kind, and what fish would be there naturally. USACE
further stated they are OK with extending the impacts if needed to make channel change
slope flatter to enhance fish passage if fish are currently present
TGS responded that they will take a closer look at this crossing and report back to
the Team
NCWRC emphasized that the main concern is fish passage if fish are in the stream. If fish
are not present, NCWRC withdraws all comments
PSH 46:
Pond “PH” on -Y2- at Station 118+50 to Station 122+50 LT
Impacts due shifting alignment to avoid Stecoah Creek
Rock fill in Pond with natural Rip-Rap will be required
Stream “SCD” (C, Tr), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 123+50 LT
The stream which flows to Stecoah Creek is 1- to 3-feet wide on a 3-6% slope.
A channel realignment is proposed from -Y2- from Station 123+50 to Station 125+20. The
realigned channel will be lined with Class I Rip-Rap for stabilization.
USACE stated that they appreciate the efforts to stay off Stecoah Creek. The current design
is a more preferrable outcome. USACE noted that stream relocation guidance applies as far
as creating the design and establishing mitigation
Stecoah Creek (C, Tr), perennial
May have minimal erosion and bank stabilization impacts
PSH 47:
Stecoah Creek (C, Tr), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 129+00 – Major Hydraulic Crossing #25
Creek is 15- to 20-feet wide on a 2-3% slope upstream and 15- to 21-feet wide on a 2-7% slope
downstream
The existing 3 barrel 10-foot by 9-foot RCBC on a 1% slope will be retained and extended on
the downstream side at a 4% slope to match the existing stream grade. The existing RCBC is
perched approximately 2-feet at the outlet
Class II Rip-Rap will be utilized for bank stabilization at the outlet. Minimal erosion and bank
stabilization impacts may be required
A single line of boulders will be utilized to maintain low flow in the two eastern most barrels
NCWRC expressed concern with using multiple barrels for the base stream flow asking if it
could be reduced to one barrel. They asked if the stream widths upstream and downstream
were evaluated.
TGS responded that the stream ranges from 15- to 21-feet and each barrel is 10-feet in
width

NCWRC stated that we all know that it is an inappropriate design to split the base flow.
NCWRC asked if there was history of needing to clean out debris and how often
TGS stated that there was no known history of debris accumulating or issues regarding
historic flooding due to debris. Culvert is currently functioning well with no issues
noted during site visit and in photographs (other than the perch which TGS is proposing
to remove at the outlet)
NCWRC stated that it was very concerning but feels the best thing would be to replace the
entire crossing with something more appropriate, but if records indicate no issues or
problems and the Team is confident with the design then NCWRC will not push the issue.
However, NCWRC wanted it noted that this is a bad design and believes that the best thing
is to fix the issue
TGS noted concerns
FHWA asked what the issues with debris are
NCWRC explained that fish passage is a concern and issues with water building up
behind the debris that could destabilize the culvert/system and cause erosion. Stating
that comments are based on FHWA guidance on the subject
PSH 48:
Stream “SDT” (C, Tr), perennial, on -Y2- at Station 141+30
Stream which flows to Stecoah Creek is 3- to 7-feet wide on a 5-9% slope upstream and 5- to 9-
feet wide on a 2-5% slope downstream
The existing 60-inch CMP on a 6% slope is perched approximately 1-foot at the outlet will be
replaced with a proposed 60-inch CAAP/WSP on a 6.1% slope. The pipes will not be buried due
to the steep slope.
Class I Rip-Rap will be utilized for outlet protection
USACE stated that this is not an ideal stream design because it is angled, long and not
straight. USACE requested a more direct crossing for fish passage and asked about stream
quality concerning the farmland pasture downstream. Requested Team look at a more
direct passage to get the stream across to promote stream passage.
TGS stated would investigate stream quality and design taking USACE comments into
consideration particularly if this is a higher quality stream
