Subject: Nationwide 13 Permit Application for �,mergency Slide Repair
SR 1322 — Diamoud Creek Road — Diauiond Creek
Trausylvania County
State Pj•oject No.: 14.208821
Dear Ms. Beck�vith:
ANTHONl' J. TATA
Secrznrnav
The North Carolina Depai�tment ofTransportation (NCDOT) is proposing to make an emergency
repair of a slide on Diamond Creek Road. Recent hea�ry rains and a streatn underctttting the bank
have coutcibuted to a road slope failure. The road is compromised siguiticantly aud lias been
closed. There is � l�igh risk of additional loss of the road into Diamoud Creek due to the steep
fill slope.
NCDOT plans to access tlie toe of tl�e fill slope from the existing roadbed by cutting a ramp
(road) to tlie bottom adjacent to Diamond Creek. Woody debris ai�d any dirt and roek fi•om the
slide will Ue removed fiom d�e stream. Large shot rocl< will be installed aloug Diauiond Creek at
the toe of the road fill slopc in order to bring tlie fill slope baek up to road grade. Efforts will be
made to retaiu auy vegetation contributing ro stabiliry of tl�e slope; however, very little vegetation
eYists.
I am enclosing a PCN application, Rapanos Jurisdictional form, � sketch of the slide area,
photographs, a marked vicinity map and USGS ropographic map.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program �vas checked for records of federally threatened
and endaugered species. There are uo species listed in the database for the inunediate vicinity of
the project site; etcept for tlie federally "tlu�eatened" iiortliern long-eared bat. Four to si� tcees
will need to be cut in order to get the access road to the bottom of tlie slope; however, die
removal of these trees should lie withui tlie "interim" 4(d) rule gaidelines for uon-federal
projects. Additionally, tlicre are no records for the entire Diamond Creek watetshed. The project
is limited to a small section of streambauk diat will be stabilized with large shot rock and riprap;
therefore, tlie iuipTCts from this project should be miuimal. For these reasons, we believe tliere
will be "no effecP' on tlu•eatened or endingered species.

The project site l�as beeu disturbed previousl}� by the secondTi}� road aud by the actioi�s of
Diamond Creek. The actuTl slide has also impacted tl�e project area. Due to the steep terrain and
no structures in the inunediate area of the slide, we believe tl�ere will be "uo effect" ai cultural
resources.
"flie best management practices will be used to mi�iimize and coutrol sedimentation and erosion
on this proiect. An impervious dike will Ue used to divert �vater off the b�uk aud wa•k areas
during consh�actioii as ueeded. The construction fore�uau wi1L revie��v all erosion conh�ol
measures daily lo eiisare sedimenlation aud erosion is being controlled effectively. If the planned
devices are not fimctiotting es inteudcd, they �vill be replaced immediately with better devices
Impncts to �f'nters of fhe U�iiter(Sirdes
Diamond Creek (DWQ Class C; Tr.) is slio�vn on tlie USGS topographic map as a perennial
stream. The stream has sufficieut flow to support trout and other aqualic life. The chamiel is
well detined and is composed primarily of bedrock and lacks veget�tion. Diamond Creek flows
approximately 0.36 miles to thc Norih Fork Frencl� Broad River. The Nortli Fork French Broad
River at the confluence of Diamoud Creek meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water.
For tltese reasons, we believe Uiat Diamond G�eek is a Relatively Permanent Water and is under
tlie juriscliction of the U.S. Army Coips of Eugineers. in order to make tlie �ieeded slope repair, it
�vill be necessary lo impact Waters of the United StTtes in the Prench Bro�d River Basin (HUC
Unit 0601O105). Speci(ically, NCDOT is requestiug to replace laige rock along the stre�mbank
ofDiamond Creek.

This section summnrizes inPm�mntion regnrding chnrneteristics of the fributary and its adjncent wetlands, if any, nnd it helps
determine whether or no� Ihe stnndards I'orjw�isdiction esfnblished under Rnyanas lim�c been met.
The ngencies will nsscrf jurisdictiai orer non-nm�ignble tributnries of TNR's where the tributm�ics nre "relatively permnnent
waters" (RPAVs), i.e. iributnrics timt typicnlly Oow yenr-round or hnve continuous Oow nt lenst seasonnlly (e.g., typically 3
monihs). A wetland Ih�t directly nbufs nn RP1Y is nlsojw�isdictional. If the nqunfic resource is nof n TMV, but has yenr-round
(perenninl) Oo�r, skip fo Section iII.D.2. IFthe aquntic resource is o wetlnnd directly nbutting n tribidm�y with perenninl flo�s,
sl<ip to Seetion III.D.d.
A�retinnd that is ndjncent to but thnt docs not direcfly nbut an RPR' requires n signifirint ne�us evnluntion. Cm�ps districts and

If Ihe wntcr6ocl�' is not nn RP\\', or n wetlnnd direclly nbu�fing nn RP\V, n JD will mquire additiounl dntn to determine if tlic
waterbody has a significnnt ne�us witli a TNR'. If the tribufm�y hns adjncent wetinnds, the significanf ne�us cealuation musf
