This letter is in response to the Division of Water Quality's request for more information
letter dated October 26, 2007 regarding the project known as Rock Bridge (DWQ
Project # 07-1557).
1. Enclosed are site plans on full plan sheets at a scale of 1"=50' (See Attached
Maps). The overall site plan is at 1"=100' scale due to size of paper required.
2. Enclosed are a cross section and longitudinal profile showing the provisions for
aquatic life passage (See Attached Typical).
3. Included on the site plan are building envelopes for all lots with wetlands,
streams, or buffers located on them (See Attached Site Plan).
4. All proposed stream or wetland driveway crossings are indicated on the site plan
(See Attached Site Plan).
5. Culverts at impact site numbers 1, 2, 4, and 8 have been constructed and are
currently in place. No additional impacts have occurred beyond those requested
in the PCN. Rip rap was not installed at outlets, nor will it be used for
sites 3 and 5. No additional impacts will occur at each site other than piping.
Site #3 is an existing ford being utilized until approval is received.
6. No wetland impacts will occur other than the wetland restoration at site #7. The
restoration is in response to a Notice of Violation issued by the Asheville Field
Office and is for .03 acres of impact. (See Restoration Plan).
7. Culverts have already been installed at impacts 1, 2, and 4 (See Attached site
plan). The culvert at impact #2 is aligned at 77°. Culvert # 1 was slightly out of
the preferred alignment due to utilization of an existing culvert (60 feet). In

order to minimize further impacts, this culvert was left in place. Realignment of
culvert #1 would also mean disturbing the trout buffer of Hemphill Creek.
Culvert #4 has already been installed at the desired angle to accommodate the
existing topography. Realignment would require more ground disturbance and
vegetative clearing. Culvert #3 is at an existing ford. The proposed alignment
would be at a 68° angle; however, this would utilize the existing ford and
minimize further impacts to the stream upstream and downstream. Impacts
have been kept to the minimal amount as permanent stream impacts are 140
linear feet.
8. Waterline impacts are included on the site plan as well as the PCN.
9. A USDA Soil Survey map of Haywood County is included for the site (See
attached map).
10. Enclosed is the permit approval from the USACE authorizing the impacts as well
as restoration of 100 feet of Hemphill Creek and .03 acres of wetland impact.
See General Permit Verification Action ID 2007-02195-344.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this information. I can be
reached at 828-712-1933. You should receive the following attachments:

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division, of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.html.
