3. Project Description
3a Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The Proiect Site is located in the Linville Land Harbor residential development and extends from the River Road concrete
low water bridge upstream approximatelv 625 linear feet to the Land Harbor propertv line. The Project will include the river
and both banks. The Linville River throuah the proiect area is a relatively straight reach dominated by riffles and runs, with
only one pool section The drainage area of the Linville River, at this site, is approximately 17 square miles. Rosqen
stream type is a C-4, meaninq that it is relativelv wide, shallow, gravel dominated, meandennq channel with a flat slope
and broad floodplain Our evaluation indicates that much of the channel through this reach is over -wide with broad shallow
flow and mild channel incision This characteristic. combined with an increased amount of bank vegetation
alteration /disturbance, and gradually increasing development in the watershed have all combined to increase susceptibility
of the river banks to erosion It would appear that this is a long term and slow develooinq, chronic, condition Accordinq to
one riparian land owner rouqhlv 8 to 10 feet of bank and numerous trees have been eroded awav alonq the left bank over
the past 15 vears
Current conditions along this reach may be characterized as stressed as evidenced by almost continuous bank erosion
along both banks that can be described as moderate to severe. Of particular concern is the loss of low banks or inner -
berms throughout most of the reach. These features aenerally occur inside the channel banks and are frequently flooded,
thev essentially saueeze the low flow channel and facilitate higher velocity and qreater average flow depth durinq low flow
periods The loss of these features in the project reach has resulted in wide shallow flats with an apparent higher
proportion of sand In the channel substrate than occurs In areas with Intact inner -berm features.
These changes will have a neaative Impact on trout habitat ouality The benthic macro - Invertebrate community that lives in
the river thrives In more aravel- cobble dominated conditions which provide ample food supply for trout and other fish The
shift to more sand dominated substrate will trigoer chanaes in the benthic communitv The wide shallow flats will also
result in areater thermal impacts to the river Trout reauire cold water to thrive and reproduce
The riparian corridor contains numerous mature trees, primarily hardwoods, with birch the dominant species followed by
poplar and oak Several large pine trees and dead hemlock trees were also observed. These trees provide excellent
shading, habitat, and food source for aquatic organisms The root systems of these trees are critical to maintaininq bank
stability alona this reach. Durina the site assessment 7 to 10 mature trees were identified as moderately to severelv
stressed based on the degree root systems have been undermined and exposed While the proiect reach is relatively
straight, the river bends just upstream and just downstream of the reach. Channel banks have been eroded in both areas
and It would appear that this condition will continue to dearade over time if no action Is taken.
3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
0 — there are no wetlands within the Proiect Site
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property
625 - linear feet (Linville River- perennial)
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The purpose of the Project is to design and Implement a bank stabilization plan to address erosion and stability problems
A secondary goal is to Improve trout habitat
Page 4 of 12

3e Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used
The Project proposed to address the bank stability concerns within the Project reach by focusinq on the re- establishment
of stable low banks and inner- berms. The qoal of this effort will be to protect the lower banks from erosion, protect most of
the currentiv threatened trees, and narrow the low flow channel In addition to the proposed construction of inner- berms,
two rock J -hook vanes will be installed to protect areas along the right bank that are impacted by channel curvature
The inner -berm structures will consist of a low bench or bar that is generally 6- inches to a foot above water surface at
normal flow and is inundated durinq virtually all significant storm events (see Tvpical Inner -berm) The surface of the inner -
berm is qenerallv flat but may slope up to tie into the existing stream bank Tvpical width of inner -berm will be 7 -8' for the
left bank and 3-4' for the right bank The purpose of the inner -berm is to narrow the low flow channel. slightly mcreasinq
depth and velocity, and to deflect the area of highest velocity awav from the stream bank durinq high flow events A stable
inner -berm will develop vegetative cover that will further protect stream banks
The J -Hook rock vanes will be lonq (40' + / -), relatively flat (3 -4 %), and constructed with a low bank angle (20 degrees + / -)
These design specifications are adapted from typical standards to meet the particular needs of the Project The purpose of
the J -Hook structures will be to deflect erosive velocities awav from the river bank and towards the center of the channel.
The upper J -Hook rock vane will serve to protect the eroded bank and several trees that have been partially undermined.
The lower J -Hook rock vane will protect an area of moderate bank erosion alonq the right bank (see Plan).
Project will be completed using a tracked excavator and skid steer loader

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The purpose of the Proiect is to implement a bank stabilization plan to halt existino streambank erosion, protect existinq
trees from being undermined and falling into the river, and to re- establish stable inner -berms All of these proposed
activities have been designed to limit streambank erosion and reduce sedimentation within the Proiect Site The proposed
activity represents the minimum amount of disturbance to the Linville River that will achieve the Proiect's purpose
Virtually all of the proposed disturbance will be temporary to the extent that riparian contours, as well as the dimension,
pattern and profile of the river will remain essentially the same between pre and post conditions
b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
The proposed work will be accomplished in such a manner as to minimize instream work to the extent practically feasible
Some instream work will be necessary to avoid destruction of stressed rwanan trees in some areas and in other areas
there is no access to the proposed work area other than the river

EXISTING CONDITION PHOTOGRAPHS:
Project reach looking upstream from concrete bridge, total reach length is approximately
625 linear feet and includes both banks.
Near the upstream limit of project reach looking downstream, bank erosion and
threatened trees are visible on the left bank. The channel is overwide in the section as
well.

Close -up view of dying and threatened trees, and active erosion on left bank
View of upstream left bank. Existing inner -berm feature visible in foreground and
overwide section beyond. The proposed remedy would create an inner -berm feature
extending 8 -10 feet from the eroded bank in the overwide areas. A line of trenched in
boulders would anchor the outer edge.

View of right bank at upstream end of project reach, the property line is close to the right
edge of the photo. There is an area of active bank erosion and several threatened trees
along the right bank in this area. Shown is the approximate location of a proposed J -Hook
rock vane.
