Salisbury Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27699 Dear Ms. Higgins, Reference: Western North Carolina Stream Initiative: Hoyle Creek Stream Restoration Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) has recently entered into an agreement with The Resource Institute (RI) to conduct stream restoration services for the above referenced project. The landowner, Leonard Keever, has enrolled this project in the USDA -NRCS EQIP (EQIP) program. The Resource Institute serves as project manager for this EQIP funded project. The proposed project is located near the town of Lincolnton, Lincoln County, NC, within the South Fork Catawba River Basin (HUC 03050102). The project consists of natural stream design and construction on 2,285 linear feet of Hoyle Creek. Stantec has received authorization for the USACE- Wilmington District (Corps) May 7, 2014 that this project qualifies as an exception to the NWP 27 pre- construction notification, as it is a "voluntary stream or wetland restoration or enhancement action, documented by the NRCS or USDA Technical Service Provider pursuant to the NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standards ". The Stantec staff that have designed this project are qualified Technical Service Providers and the design elements used are consistent with technical standards established by NRCS. No wetlands were located within the project boundary. Soils are mapped as Riverview (RvAO 0- 2% slope, well drained. Streams assessed included two perennial tributaries to Hoyle Creek. Stantec is requesting 401 certification for the construction of this project. Please find attached the NWP PCN, USGS topo map, soils map, Corps authorization and agent authorization. Also attached are a set of concept drawings, including site location and proposed enhancement /restoration activities. Stantec requests that this letter and supporting documentation serve as the required reporting in support of the proposed activity exception.
