Dear Ms. Beckwith:
~.f~T rv
Enclosed is the PCN and supporting documentation for Topez Ridge. Topez Ridge is a
proposed 25 acre development in Jackson County located 0.5 miles west of SR 1709
Blanton Branch Road. In order to improve the current logging road to meet NC
Department of Transportation standards for subdivision entrance, it is necessary to under
drain 133' of intermittent seep. This seep is an Unnamed Tributary to Blanton Branch.
Approval from NC DOT to encroach on their right of way has been obtained to construct
the proposed under drain and 2x3x32 junction box.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions.
Sincerely,
Wanda H. Roach, PE

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.
Updated it/1/2005
Page 9 of 12

USAGE - 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 aze 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 USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Cazolina, available at
http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/lineaz feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
n/a
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at htt~//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (lineaz feet): n/a
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):

Enclosed is an application for encroachment on US 74 0.5 miles west of SR 1709 Blanton
Blanch Road in Jackson County. I am proposing to build a 20 parcel subdivision, Topez
Ridge, on the 25 acre tract. I have been in contact with the US Corp of Engineers about
the underdrain of the UT to Blanton Branch. Before I can apply for the permit, I am
required to have NCDOT's permission to perform the construction. Therefore, upon your

an NCDOT driveway permit. Details of the proposed deceleration lane and the interior
road system will be in the driveway permit.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely, e
