Asheville, North Carolina 28801-5006
SUBJECT: Blair 4794
UT Hurricane Creek, Jackson County
Dear Ms. Davis,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed an
application to impact 78 ft of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Hurricane Creek in Jackson County.
Our comments on this application are offered for your consideration under provisions of the
Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Brook Trout are found in the vicinity of the project, and in -stream activities should be avoided
between October 15 and April 15 to minimize impacts to trout reproduction.
The project involves the removal of a culvert and replacement of the crossing with a ford. The
channel is just downstream of a pond, and the stream/spillway would be lined with keyed in
rock. Work would be done in the dry.
We offer the following recommendations to minimize impacts to fish and wildlife resources:
1. Be vigilant with sediment and erosion control during site staging, construction, and cleanup.
2. Any erosion control matting used should be free of nylon or plastic mesh, as this type of
mesh netting frequently entangles wildlife and is slow to degrade, resulting in a hazard that
may last for years.
3. Instream activities should be avoided between October 15 and April 15 to minimize impacts
to Brook Trout reproduction.
