RE: Pigeon River bank repair project
COUR- reW Steel Bridge Project
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
copy Haywood County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Brown:
On behalf of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission ( NCWRC), please find
enclosed one copy of the following items for your use in reviewing the Preconstruction
Notification Form (PCN) for the subject project. This Haywood County bank stabilization
project is located on the east bank of the West Prong of the Pigeon River just above the Steel
Bridge, approximately 0.8 miles above Lake Logan. Our submittal includes the following:
1. PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009 Version - Nationwide Permit 13
2. USGS (Weaverville Quadrangle) Location Map (on Plan cover sheet)
3. NCWRC Cold Mountain Game Land map and index
4. French Broad River Basin Streams list, with stream designated
5. Photos of existing conditions (inside plan set) and attached
6. Haywood County Flood Ordinance Submittal and Permit
7. Plans (Complete set 11" x 17 ")
This project is needed by the NCWRC in order to protect and restore the only pedestrian
access trail to the Cold Mountain Game Lands in Haywood County. Erosion of the river bank
just upstream of the Steel Bridge over the past several years has destroyed the available area at
the top of the river bank for the trail. Hikers and others are negotiating a dangerous slope where
the bank has failed, or are trespassing onto the adjoining private property, in order to gain access
to the Cold Mountain area. In order to replace the top of the river bank within the NCWRC
property so that a safe and stable trail can be restored, a near vertical bank section of
approximately 110 feet in length must be re- constructed. A number of factors had to be
considered for the design of the repair, including the following:
1. The United States Geological Service (USGS) maintains a gauging station just
upstream of the bridge abutment. Erosion of the river bank adjoining their
concrete structure has prompted them to install a new station with remote reading

capability, but still requires a hard -wired reading mechanism into the river that
must remain intact.
2. Access to this river bank is limited by the capacity of the Steel Bridge, which has
a weight limit of 7 tons, thus restricting both equipment and material selections
for any proposed repair.
3. Haywood County's Flood Ordinance required that any stream bank repair at this
location must result in a `no -rise' condition for the Base Flood Elevation in order
to protect several church structures approximately 800 feet upstream, and a
submittal of a flood study to document the `no -rise' condition was required.
4. Staff of the NCWRC wanted any repair method to result in a final surface that
could be vegetated in order to soften the impact and enhance wildlife habitat, and
they wanted a project that could be built in a short period of time and in an
economical manner.
In order to meet all these requirements, a gabion wall was designed. This design was the
only method that could satisfy the requirements of Haywood County's Flood Ordinance, protect
the USGS gauging equipment, allow limited use of the bridge during construction, and minimize
the contractor's actual time in the river. By using setbacks within each course of the gabions, we
were able to provide a planting bed along each course as well as a vegetated slope area along the
top of the wall. We realize that gabions are not a desirable bank repair method under most
conditions; however, given the circumstances at the site, we feel this is the best means of repair
for this situation.
The attached plans include all erosion and sedimentation measures for protecting the
stream, and generally comply with conditions of the NC DWQ's Water Quality Certification No.
3885.
Thank you for your time in reviewing this submittal. We are available, if helpful, to meet
with you on -site to review the proposed project. If you have any questions or comments, or need
additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
