III. Project Information

Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

10. Describe the overall project in detail and the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of
' the project is to restore the North Fork of Sawyer Creek to it's previously existing_path prior
to the hurricane induced floods of September 2004. To construct a subdivision access road
across the valley through which North Fork Sawyer Creek flows; this road will involve a
' bridge crossing over North Fork Sawyer Creek. To construct 3 small off-line ponds in the
current (to-be-abandoned) path of NF Sawyer Creek. To construct a network of subdivision
roads and driveways to access approximately 7 lots within the 32.2-acre tract; the
construction of this road network will involve the installation of 2 piped driveway crossings
and the relocation and enhancement of a portion of intermittent stream (UT North Fork
Sawyer Creek).
' There are four categories of activities that will result in impacts to jurisdictional waters of the
United States:
^ Stream Restoration: This phase of the project will involve the restoration of
approximately 700 linear feet of North Fork Sawyer Creek (NFSC). NFSC is a
second order stream with a drainage area of approximately 1.03 square miles. This
' stream is classified as a D4b (Rosgen classification) throu hg_ the project reach. Above
the posed restoration reach the stream is a B4 and is e~y stable; this reach is
used as the reference reach for the restoration design. During the fall of 2004 two
' major, hurricane induced, flooding events occurred that caused a large debris dam in
the channel at the location indicated on the Existing Conditions Map, following the
storm a new flow pattern had formed to the left of the original channel. The new
' channel exists today but is significantly undersized, is head-cutting rapidly in two
locations, has poor habitat quality, and is enerally unstable. This channel, if left
alone, will undergo dramatic adjustments in dimension, pattern and profile, resulting
in severe in-channel erosion and poor habitat qualit~_years, before a
becoming stable. The proposed restoration project will involve the removal of a
debris blockage at the upper end of the restoration reach. The existing (ori ig nal)
' channel below the debris blocka e~good shape and requires only minor rading
to the upper banks in places to restore abank-height ratio of 1.0. A second debris
blockage, approximately 200 feet in length, is located at the lower end of the reach
(approximately 500 feet below the upper blockage); both areas aggraded during the
2004 floods. This lower area is so completely blocked that instead of truing to
exactly match the on ig'nal pattern, a reach of approximately 200 feet in length will be
' constructed through this area and will be designed based on the reference reach
located immediately above the upper debris blockage. In addition, minor adjustments
will be made to the remainder of the reach to establish the proper dimension, pattern
and profile. At the completion of the restoration approximately 550 linear feet of the
' currently flowing (post 2004 hurricane) channel will be abandoned and filled. The
goal of the restoration project will be to reestablish a stable "B4" channel through
this valley.
^ Pond Construction: Three small ponds are proposed along the path of the currently
flowing channel and are shown on the Proposed Site Plan.. The primarypurpose of
these ponds is aesthetic but they will also serve to facilitate the reshapin of the
valley to create conditions more conducive to a stable "B" channel. The ponds will
be constructed by excavating down below existing_grade and berming around the
Shikina Falls and Meadows Page 3 of 12 PCN Application
August 8, 2007 E'nV-ECS, Inc.

perimeter. The perimeter berms will serve to limit the available flood prone area
' adiacent to the restored reach of NFSC in order to bring the entrenchment ratio more
in line with a "B" channel. The berm around the upper pond will effectivelyprevent
the stream from following the same path as during the 2004 floods. The berm
t surrounding Pond 3 will impact a small area of wetlands, shown as Wetland Impact 1
on the Site Impact Map. This wetland unit, NFSC-W 1 is associated with a linear
Wiring head next to the state road (Camp Joy Rd.) and feeds an area of wetlands
adjacent to NFSC which most likely formed during the floods by debris damming.
^ Driveway Crossings: Two piped crossings are proposed over the intermittent
unnamed tributary to the North Fork of Sawyer Creek. Both crossings are for private
' driveways that will access 2 or fewer lots. Both proposed pipes will be 40 feet long
This len tgth of pipe is needed to allow for the 8 to 10 feet of fill over the pipes needed
to reduce required cut and fill impacts associated with driveway construction. Low
' retaining walls will be used to_ confine the fill at these crossing locations. These two
culvert installation impacts are referenced on the Site Impact Map as Stream Impact
2 and 3.
' ^ The lower portion of UT-NFSC, below Stream Impact 2 and the lower proposed
driveway crossing, currently flows into the lower debris blockage that filled the
original NFSC channel during the 2004 floods. As part of this project, UT-NFSC will
' be re-routed to avoid the debris field and will be extended to the west of its current
location and will tie into NFSC at a bedrock control just below the restoration reach.
The length of UT-NFSC to be abandoned will be 78 linear feet; 22' of channel is in
an existing, culvert, as seen on the Existing Conditions Map and is being treated as
credit as part of the stream relocation_proiect. The proposed relocated section will be
approximately 206 linear feet. There will be a net gain of approximately 128 linear
' feet.
10. List the type of equipment to be used to construct the project: Standard construction
' equipment: track excavator, bulldozer, backhoe, loader, and dump truck.
11. Describe the land use in the vicinity of this project: Rural residential, agricultural and
' undeveloped. Very low density.
IV. Prior Project History

included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): X uplands ^ stream X wetlands
Shikina Falls and Meadows Page 6 of 12 PCN Application
August 8, 2007 E'nV-ECS, Inc.

Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
' draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Ponds will be created by excavation into water table
and small pipe diversion from NFSC upstream. A low berm will be constructed around ponds
berms will not exceed 5 feet in hei hg~t. All ponds will be much less than 10 acre-feet and no
containment structure will exceed 15' in height.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): Three small aesthetic ponds are proposed near the
entrance to the project. These ponds will be constructed in the path of the currently flowing
channel (Ponds #1 and #3) and in a debris clogged section of the old channel that will be dug
out (Pond #2). The uppe_pond (Pond #1) will be fed by a diversion from N.F. Sawyer Creek
and the Pond #3 will discharge back into N.F. Sawyer Creek. Pond #2 will be excavated into
ground water and will receive runoff from areas above. The ponds and associated berms will
facilitate the reshaping of the valley to confine the flood-prone area of NFSC, lower the
entrenchment ratio and reduce the potential for future side channel formation in lar eg flood
events. This work could be accomplished without building_ponds but all of the soil fill would
' have to be trucked in from off-site at react expense to the applicant.
Size of watershed draining to pond: Pond #1: less than 0.25 acres, Pond #2 approximately
' 1.0 acres, Pond #3: less than 0.25 acres. Expected pond surface area: Pond #1:
0.2 acres, Pond #2: 0.16 acres, Pond #3: 0.15 acres.
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
' information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
' were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
There are four activities that will result in impacts to jurisdictional waters of the United States:
' 1. Stream Restoration: This phase of the protect will involve the restoration of
approximately 700 linear feet of North Fork Sawyer Creek. Impacts associated with this
restoration effort are full justified because the restored channel will be more stable,
provide better habitat and will be approximately 100 feet longer than the existing
flowing_ channel on the site. Furthermore, impacts will be minimized by all restoration
' work being performed in the drv. This restoration effort is justified to minimize the long
term erosion and sedimentation effects that will result if the current flow path is allowed
to continue to adjust and stabilize naturally. The current channel (post 2004 flood flow
path) is best classified as a "D4b" (Rosgen terminology) but this is not a perfect fit as
' illustrated by its cross-sectional area of 7.5 sq.ft. compared to the bankfull area above the
Wiper debris blockage along the N. F. Sawyer Creek which is 18.85 sq.ft. The difference
in channel area explains the widespread evidence of flow and associated erosion and
' deposition along this section of the valley. During lame flow events, evidence indicates
water spills back into the on ig pal pre-2004 channel in the vicinity of the proposed
Shikina Falls and Meadows Page 7 of 12 PCN Application
August 8, 2007 E'nV-ECS, Inc.

restoration area, but because of the debris blockages within the valley these out-of--bank
flow events only fill up the old channel periodically before resuming flow down the
valley. We conclude that the proposed stream restoration project will provide the
following beneficial effects on the impaired section of the North Fork of Sawyer Creek:
a. Remove the debris blockages,
b. Restore the stream to the original channel,
c. Provide enhancements to the original channel and surrounding flood-prone-area
to prevent future side channel formation, and
d. Provide riparian plantin sg along the entire corridor
A stream restoration project at this site will eliminate a long period of channel adjustment
and instability associated with erosion and stream sedimentation. The proposed
restoration will also rg eatly enhance in-stream habitat for trout and other aquatic life.
2. Pond Construction: Impacts associated with the construction of the three small ponds has
been minimized by making the ponds smaller than on finally desired and keeping the
ponds off-line. Two of these ponds are proposed along the path of the currently flowing
channel that is to be abandoned following the restoration portion of the project. The third
pond will be located adjacent to the proposed restoration channel in an area heavily
impacted by debris following the 2004 floods. The primarypurpose of these op nds is
aesthetics, however, the ponds and associated berms will facilitate the reshaping of the
valley to confine the flood-prone area of NFSC, lower the entrenchment ratio and reduce
the potential for future side channel formation in large flood events. This work could be
accomplished without building_ponds but all of the soil fill would have to be trucked in
from off-site at reg at expense to the applicant. The ponds will be constructed by
excavating down below existing_grade and berming around the perimeter. The perimeter
berms will serve to limit the available flood prone area adjacent to the restored reach of
N.F. Sawyer Creek in order to bring the entrenchment ratio more in line with a "B"
channel. The berm around the upper pond will effectively prevent the stream from
following the same path as during the 2004 floods. The berm surrounding Pond 3 will
impact a small area of wetlands, shown as Wetland Impact 1 on the Site Impact Mai
This wetland unit, NFSC-W 1 is associated with a linear spring head next to the state
road (Camp Joy Rd.) and feeds an area of wetlands adjacent to North Fork of Sawyer
Creek which most likely formed during the floods by debris damming_
3. Driveway Crossings: The main subdivision entrance road was designed to avoid any
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the United States crossing such waters by constructing
a bridge spanning the restored stream channel with no resulting impacts. There will be
two piped crossings of the intermittent stream UT-NFSC, these are both associated with
private driveways. Impacts have been minimized with these crossings by keeping the
driveway widths to l2' and by using retaining walls to limit the extent of fill slopes in
the vicinity of streams and wetlands. These culverts will be countersunk during
installation in order to provide substrate for the redevelopment of aquatic habitat.

4. Intermittent Stream Relocation: The lower portion of UT-NFSC below Stream Impact 2
' and the lower proposed driveway crossing, currently flows into the lower debris
blockage that filled the original NFSC channel during the 2004 floods. As part of this
project, UT-NFSC will be re-routed to avoid the debris field and will be extended to the
west of its current location and will tie into NFSC at a bedrock control just below the
restoration reach. A pond (Pond 2) is proposed to be built in the cobble and debris filled
area. The relocation of UT-NFSC will also serve to make Pond 2 an off-line pond The
' length of UT-NFSC to be abandoned will be 78 linear feet; 22' of channel is in an
existing culvert, as seen on the Existing Conditions Man and is being treated as credit as
part of the stream relocation project. The proposed relocated section will be
' approximately 206 linear feet. There will be a net aig n of approximately 128 linear feet.
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.
' USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are 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 USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP 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 Carolina, available at
http:J/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmt ide.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/linear 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.

• Mitigation on the Shikina Falls and Meadows site will consist of the stream
' restoration project along the North Fork of Sawyer Creek, which will replace an
unstable eroding channel created during the 2004 flood with a stable properl sized
channel and a net increase of approximately 100 linear feet of B4 channel. A
minimum vegetated buffer width of 25 feet will be established around the restored
channel. In addition, the small intermittent stream on site (UT-NFSC) will be restored
and relocated to bypass a proposed pond. There will be a net increase of
approximately 128 linear feet of UT-NFSC from the stream relocation project.
• All temporary wetland impacts associated with the posed stream restoration work
and pond construction will be mitigated in-situ following its completion by means of
re-~radin~ the impacted areas and re-ve etating afterwards with indigenous wetland
plant species.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wn~~index.htm. If

Shikina Falls and Meadows
Stream Restoration and Relocation Narrative
North Fork Sawyer Creek
07-1382
Project Purpose and General Description:
The purpose of the project is to restore the North Fork of Sawyer Creek to its previously
existing path prior to the hurricane induced floods of September 2004. During the fall of
2004 two major, hurricane induced, flooding events occurred that caused a large debris
dam in the channel at the location indicated on the Existing Conditions Map. Following
the storm, a new flow pattern had formed to the left of the original channel. The new
channel exists today but is significantly undersized, is head-cutting rapidly in two
locations, has poor habitat quality, and is generally unstable. The current channel (post-
2004 flow path) is best classified as a D4b. This channel, if left alone, will undergo
dramatic adjustments in dimension, pattern and profile, resulting in severe in-channel
erosion and poor habitat quality for years before again becoming stable.
The proposed restoration project will involve the removal of a debris blockage at the
upper end of the restoration reach. The existing (original) channel below the debris
blockage is in good shape and requires only minor grading to the upper banks in places to
restore abank-height ratio of 1.0. A second debris blockage, approximately 200 feet in
length, is located at the lower end of the reach (approximately 500 feet below the upper
blockage); both areas aggraded during the 2004 floods. This lower area is so completely
blocked that the precise location of the previously existing channel cannot be determined.
In this area, instead of trying to exactly match the original pattern, a reach of
approximately 200 feet in length will be constructed through this area and will be
designed based on the reference reach located immediately above the upper debris
blockage. In addition, minor adjustments will be made to the remainder of the reach to
establish the proper dimension, pattern and profile. At the completion of the restoration
approximately 550 linear feet of the currently flowing (post 2004 hurricane) channel will
be abandoned and filled. The goal of the restoration project will be to reestablish a stable
"B4" channel through this valley.
Shikina Falls and Meadows 1 Stream Restoration/Relocation Narrative

This restoration project is proposed as part of a planned low-density residential
' development. The Shikina Falls and Meadows development will include a road network
to access seven residential lots on a 31.2 acre site. There will be a large amount of open
t space with trails and other low intensity amenity features.
' Design Considerations:
It is apparent that several factors contributed to the abandonment of the pre-2004 channel
' including a massive debris flow, a high entrenchment ratio fora "B" channel, and
minimal buffer vegetation. All of these factors have been considered in the design of the
' restoration project. Of these factors, the one that could be best controlled is the
entrenchment ratio (ER). The high ER of the current flow path and previous channel was
t and is exacerbated by the presence of a low area in the floodplain that serves as an
alternative flow path for flows that overtop the existing banks. To address this situation, it
' was necessary to consider options to reshape the valley to eliminate the alternative flow
path and to decrease entrenchment. The selected approach involves the construction of
' three small ponds along the path of the currently flowing channel. The primary purpose
of these ponds is aesthetic. The ponds will be constructed by excavating down below
' existing grade and berming around the perimeter. The perimeter berms around all three
ponds will serve to limit the available flood prone area adjacent to the restored reach of
' N.F. Sawyer Creek in order to bring the entrenchment ratio more in line with a "B"
channel. The berm around the upper pond will effectively prevent the stream from
' following the same path as during the 2004 floods.
' To the extent possible, the existing abandoned, pre-2004, channel will be used. This will
reduce total grading and land disturbance, preserve existing habitat and make use of
' existing structural controls present in the old channel. The pre-2004 channel is incised for
most of its length with bank/height ratios ranging from 1.1 to 1.5. In areas where clear
' evidence of past bank stress exists or where future bank stress can be reasonably
predicted, the existing upper banks will be graded back to create a bankfull bench that
' will be stabilized and re-vegetated with native species suitable for riparian zones. The
lower portion of the restoration project was more impacted by debris during the 2004
Shikina Falls and Meadows 2 Stream Restoration/Relocation Narrative

floods and the previous channel has completely lost definition. In this area a new channel
will be designed and constructed based on reference reach data and natural channel
design principles. This reach of channel will be approximately 350 feet in length and will
tie into the existing channel just above a bedrock control at the downstream end of the
project.
Intermittent Stream Relocation:
As part of the Shikina Falls and Meadows development, the lower portion of the
intermittent tributary to the North Fork of Sawyer Creek (UT-NFSC) on the project site is
being relocated in conjunction with the pond creation and stream restoration work on the
North Fork of Sawyer Creek (NFSC). The design for the restoration of NFSC involves
using vegetated berms and ponds to create entrenchment for the restored channel. The
proposed location of Pond 2 is in the vicinity of the current confluence of UT-NFSC and
NFSC. An on-line pond, fed by UT-NFSC is not desired and therefore the intermittent
will be relocated around this area (see Stream Restoration and Relocation Plan). As a
result of the proposed relocation, approximately 78 linear feet of UT-NFSC will be
abandoned and approximately 206 linear feet will be constructed in its place. There will
be a net gain of 128 linear feet of stream length from the relocation project.
Reference data for the design of UT-NFSC was obtained from the upper portion of the
same stream along a 190' segment which is in a stable condition with good stream
morphological characteristics. This upper portion of the stream is characterized as an
"A4" Rosgen channel with occasional bedrock grade control. The slope of the reference
reach is 9%. The reference reach has an approximate drainage area of 7.3-acres, while the
proposed relocation segment will have an approximate drainage area of 18.25-acres. The
proposed channel design criteria will closely resemble the dimensions of the reference
reach.
The upper end of the UT-NFSC relocation will begin just below a proposed private
driveway culvert (36" by 40' CMP). The channel will pass over a bedrock dominated
section before falling towards NFSC. A retaining wall will be constructed to support
Shikina Falls and Meadows 3 Stream Restoration/Relocation Narrative

approximately 40' of fill that will effectively confine the floodprone area of UT-NFSC as
' it passes over the bedrock section. The total relocated stream length will be
approximately 206' and will have a designed slope of 9%; currently the existing slope
' along the lower segment of the intermittent stream is 11 %. Small boulder grade control
structures will be installed at the top of most riffle sections. The tie-in to NFSC has been
' located at a bedrock control to prevent the likelihood of a head cut. The channel banks
will be stabilized with sod and erosion control matting. Reference cross-sections will be
t established as part of the monitoring plan as well as one vegetation plot to determine the
success of the stream relocation project.
Sediment and Erosion Control:
' Erosion and sediment control measures will be designed, installed, and operated in
accordance with the current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Planning
' and Design Manual. The proposed sequence of construction is designed to allow for most
of the channel construction and enhancement to be conducted off-line. There will be a
temporary diversion required during the time the lower restoration reach and Pond #3 are
constructed. The final phase of construction will involve the construction of Pond #1 and
Pond #2. All graded areas near the stream will be immediately stabilized following
completion of final grading. Sod mats will be used as available and erosion control
' blankets will be installed on seeded areas adjacent to the channel. All disturbed areas in
the riparian zone and buffer will be seeded with a temporary mix within 7 days of
completion of grading and later over-seeded with native species and planted with trees
and shrubs.
Revegetation Plan:
' Revegetation planting will be carried out in the 25' buffer zone surrounding the restored
stream channels, the relocated intermittent stream channel, and along the vegetated berms
' encompassing the three proposed ponds. Several types of native vegetation will be
installed based on the differing zones of moisture, flooding potential, and purpose. Areas
' within the flood prone zones along the stream will be a specific vegetation belt, upper
portions of the buffer in the riparian zone, with a deeper water table, will be a separate
Shikina Falls and Meadows 4 Stream Restoration/Relocation Narrative

belt, and the vegetated berms will contain a separate group of vegetation. Hydrophytic
vegetation will be planted in the flood prone zone, native trees and shrub tolerant of both
wet and dry conditions will be installed in areas along the upper riparian belt, and native
grasses, rushes, and sedges will be grown on the vegetated berms. All trees and shrubs
are to be planted on an average 10' spacing throughout the buffer zone.

Stream Restoration and Design Monitoring:
Following the construction phase and implementation of the riparian zone revegetation
plan, an as-built survey of the stream and riparian area will be conducted. This survey
and subsequent Level 1 monitoring will be performed in accordance with the April, 2003
Stream Mitigation Guidelines. The as-built plan will include longitudinal profile of the
entire restored reach, reference cross sections of riffles, pools and runs, and a plan view
showing the thalweg, left and right top of bank and buffer boundaries. Reference photos
will be included for all cross sections and other areas of significance including rock vane
and J-hook structures. Pebble counts will be performed at least six cross sections. The
plan view will also show the location and type of stabilization methods used in riparian
areas as well as the location and type of vegetation installed.
Monitoring Schedule:
Monitoring of stream bed stability, bank stability, and riparian vegetation survival will
occur on an annual basis for 5 years following the completion of the stream restoration
portion of the Shikina Falls and Meadows project. Monitoring will be conducted in
accordance with the April, 2003 Stream Mitigation Guidelines. In the first year, quarterly
site inspections will take place recording conditions at monitoring locations, photo-
documenting, and submitting an annual report with the initial site visit within one week
of site completion. Following the first year, annual visits will take place with the
submission of an annual report to the USACE and NCDWQ at the end of each yearly
monitoring period. If failures are observed during a site visit, the NCDWQ will be
notified within 20 days describing the reason for failure and provide a corrective action
plan to remedy the situation. All problems shall be addressed by the permittee. If
considerable failures take place during the cycle of monitoring, then the monitoring
period shall be extended based on a confirmation by the NCDWQ in order to make sure
of the successful establishment of the project.
