I will be on site during construction. A good bit of the work by its nature will be on the upper banks (bankfull up) and we will be working in the dry. In the reach where the pattern is being modified there will be times however to ensure that structures are properly located we will need to let the water flow through the work area for short periods. The banks will already be shaped and stabilized (seeded and matted) daily. I will get you the drawings and specs the first of the week. Thanks, Daphne Please note the new address and phone number.

Questions: Our General Certification 3885 requires that all work be done in the dry (i.e. pump around while working in channel). Were you planning on doing this during the construction? Will you be supervising the construction? Typically we like to see more detailed plans to ensure a contractor is going to remain in compliance with a permit, but sometimes with local assistance programs instead I just condition the permit that says the designer will oversee all the work. A couple items for my file: Could you provide me with a blow up of the overall plans. I appreciate that you fit it all on an 11x17 sheet but it's pretty hard to see all the details well. You can keep it on 11x17, just maybe provide a few pages zoomed in on different sections of the streams please. Also, I need technical specifications /details for all the types of structures you intend to use in the project. You can provide just a generic detail /spec for each structure. Thanks and if you have any questions or problems with these items please call or email me.

(See Fig 1) ENGINEER - The USDA -NRCS and/or SWCD person(s) who have appropriate construction approval authority for Practice Standard 580, Streambank and Shoreline Protection for the specific size and type of structure. STREAM BANK — Portions of intermittent or perennial stream banks that are eroding at an accelerated rate due to the effects of stream flow near banks without adequate vegetative cover and supporting riparian area. BANKFULL (BKF) — The stream flow level at which the stream channel is formed and maintained. The term "bankfull" should not be confused with "the top of the bank ". Persons who have received training in Natural Stream Channel evaluation shall identify the bankfull elevation. 4) PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS This practice should be applied as a part of a total Natural Stream Channel Restoration design. Log Vanes are not intended to be a total solution to the streambank erosion problem in themselves. They are to be used as a component of a total streambank management plan, which may require a number of associated practices. In some cases modification of the stream dimension, pattern and profile may be required before structures are installed. The use of log vanes without considering the stable dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream will most likely result in failure. USDA -NRCS page 1 Log Vane North Carolina October 2004 5) PERMITTING No work, which is covered by this specification, shall be performed until the Army Corp of Engineers has issued a Section 404 permit and the Division of Water Quality has issued a Section 401 certification (if required). The final construction plans and specifications must be prepared and approved prior to the beginning of construction. 6) EQUIPMENT A hydraulic excavator (trackhoe) with a hydraulic "thumb" shall be used to handle and install log vanes A chain saw shall be available on site during construction All required safety equipment shall be available during construction. Safety equipment includes but is not limited to hard hats, chain saw chaps, gloves, and eye and hearing protection. 7) SUPERVISION The engineer must be on -site to supervise and inspect each operation as it is performed. No work, which is covered by this specification, shall be performed in the absence of the engineer except as approved by the engineer. The work shall be conducted as directed by the engineer. The engineer shall be notified a minimum of 24 hours before installation is performed. 8) INSTALLATION Excavate a trench into the bank to embed one end of the log vane. The top of the log vane at the point where it enters the bank should normally be at approximately the "inter- berm" elevation (inter -berm is approximately one half the distance between water surface and bankfull). Excavate a trench in the streambed to embed the other end of the log vane. Place very large cobble /small boulder size rocks (dependant upon stream size) on the end of the log to form a "J- Hook" and to prevent the log from floating out of the streambed. Placing geotextile fabric filter cloth on the side of the log toward the bank shall close any opening between the bottom of the log and the streambed. This filter cloth should be nailed with large headed nails, such as roofing nails, to the side of the log. The remaining filter cloth is to be draped down along side of the log and onto the bed of the stream. Place streambed material back fill over the top of the filter cloth to a point sufficient to stop all flow below the log. Note the process of installing the filter cloth and backfill is best done concurrently. If an attempt is made to nail the filter cloth along the log for the entire length before any backfill is placed, the filter cloth will tend to wash under the log. If rocks are not available or are considered to be undesirable then, install a stake in the streambed on the downstream side of the log vane. The stake should be at least six inches in diameter at the smallest point. Sharpen the stake on one end and drive it into the streambed with the equipment used to place the log vane. The stake should be as long as can possibly be driven into the streambed. Any stake remaining above the top of the log vane after driving, shall be cut off to within approximately 6 inches of the top of the log vane. Connect the log vane and stake with a cable and cable clamps. USDA -NRCS page 2 Log Vane North Carolina October 2004 All excavation will be performed at the location, elevation, and orientation and to the dimensions as directed by the engineer. (See figure 1) Equipment that appears to be leaking fluids shall be removed to a safe site away from the stream corridor until it is repaired and confirmed that no leaks exist. 9) ASSOCIATED PRACTICES • ROCK VANES, CROSS VANES, J HOOKS, LOG VANES and related instream structures planned as an integral component of the natural stream channel restoration design. • CRITICAL AREA SEEDING shall be applied on all disturbed areas. • WOODY VEGETATION shall be established on the sloped bank above bankfull and on top of the bank. • RIPARIAN FOREST BUFFER should be considered. • LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION shall be installed if livestock are pastured in the area. 10) FIGURES Figures attached to this specification illustrate the placement and orientation of the root wads. Figures are as follows: Figure 1 — Log Vane Cross Section Figure 2 — Log Vane Plan View USDA -NRCS page 3 Log Vane North Carolina October 2004 Area between bottom of log and streambed MUST be slUed If log does not reach the streambed, Install fabric filter cloth, nailed to the log and draped into the void and back with streambed material. bankfiull TOP OF LOG VANE SHALL SLOPE DOWN AT 5% TO 7% 17 Normal Water Level J -Hook rocks CRESS SECTIEN L ❑G VANE STRUCTURE Figure 1 DIREC r �( ION EF FL W r ----_P❑RTI ❑N BURIED LOG VANE �'� IN STREAM BED c ` �'� Strearnbank i PLAN VIEW LEG VANE STRUCTURE Figure 2 USDA -NRCS page 4 Log Vane North Carolina October 2004 CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION ROCK STRUCTURES The work shall consist of the construction of natural rock or rock riprap structures including rock vanes, J -hook vanes, rock cross vanes, cross vane rock weirs, and /or step -pool structures. The work shall consist of furnishing, transporting and installing materials to construct the rock structures in accordance with the plans and specifications. Materials Individual rocks shall be dense, sound and free from cracks, seams, and other defects. The rocks shall have a specific gravity of not less than 2.5. The size and grading of the rock shall be as shown on the drawings. The dimensions of the rock shall be 4 ft. long x 3 ft. wide x 2 ft. high. The dimensions may vary within +/- 1 foot. Flat rocks are preferred since they are more adapted for the intended use. The weight range of each rock should be between 1 and 3 tons. The source of rock shall be identified and approved by the Engineer prior to delivery to the site. It is anticipated that the rock will be a special order to obtain the specified sizes if the rock is to be obtained from a quarry. Subgrade Preparation The subgrade surfaces on which the rock is to be placed shall be cut or filled and graded to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. When fill is required, it shall consist of approved materials that have been placed according to the Construction Specification for Earthfill. The rock shall not be placed until the prepared subgrade has been inspected and approved by the Engineer. Placement The rock shall be placed by equipment on the surfaces and to the depths specified. The footer rock shall be placed first. If more than one footer rock layer is to be placed, placement shall begin with the bottom layer and proceed in sequence until all footer rock layers and the surface rock layer have been placed. A hydraulic excavator equipped with a hydraulic thumb shall accomplish placement of the rock in the structure unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. The rock shall be placed in a manner to prevent damage to structures. Hand placing will be required to the extent necessary to prevent damage to any structure. All rock structures are designed to be installed on a 20 degree angle from the channel bank toward the center of the stream. The grade, top and bottom, of the structure gradually tapers down from the channel bank toward the center of the stream. For the structure to work properly, the rock must be placed as shown on the drawings unless directed otherwise by the Engineer.
