Subject: Pre -Construction Notification Pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 27 and
Water Quality Certification No. 3885
Western Stream Initiative (WSI) - Wilson Stream Restoration Project
Candler, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Higgins:
The Wilson Stream Restoration Project area is located off Pete Luther Road (S.R 1223) approximately 3 miles
north of Candler, North Carolina in Buncombe County (Figure 1). Wildlands Engineering (Wildlands) is working
with private land lessee Adam Wilson to stabilize and enhance a small stream channel on an agricultural land
parcel. An Agent Authorization Form is attached which provides verification that Jacob McLean, the project
manager for Wildlands Engineering, is acting on behalf of Mr. Wilson.
The proposed project involves approximately 2,000 linear feet of stream restoration Little Pole Creek that has
been confined within its valley through the process of down -cutting (head -cutting) and from anthropogenic
impacts including clearing of deep-rooted vegetation, buffer maintenance, and livestock access to the stream.
The work would include minor adjustment to the stream alignment with the proposed channel nearly on-line
with the existing channel. Bankfull benches and gentler terrace slopes would be constructed and vegetated.
Areas along the bank will require the removal of invasives and the reestablishment of buffer vegetation. Grade
control structures will be added to the stream bed to reduce down -cutting and create a more stable stream
channel.
Streamwork will be conducted with trackhoes and tracktrucks, utilizing mud mats as a stream crossing as
necessary. Instream work will be necessary to realign the channel and install structures. A pump around system
will be utilized during instream construction to reduce impacts to water quality.
Please find enclosed four copies of our PCN package for the subject project. We have included the following
supporting data
• PCN form,
• Vicinity, USGS, Site, and Soils Maps,
Wildlands Engineering, Inc. • phone [phone] • fax [phone] • 167-B Haywood Road • Asheville, NC 28806

Mutual Agreement
for
Stream Restoration Project
Resource Institute (RI) . is a non-profit organization that assists organizations and
individuals in carrying out projects to protect natural and human resources while promoting
economic development. . RI can assist with projects in a variety of ways, including, but not
limited to, fund-raising, administering project funds, and contracting for services needed to
complete a project. RI has recently adopted a project referred to as the Western North Carolina
Stream Initiative to help farmers and landowners address eroding stream banks that are
negatively affecting them through loss of property, hazards for livestock, sediment transport into
a stream and degraded .aquatic habitat. The farmer/landowner has .either initiated an application
for assistance through USDA/NRCS's EQIP program or- has already signed an
agreement/contract for assistance with USDA/NRCS's EQIP program. RI's rote is to help attain
the funding, for the .design, construction oversight and unmet construction needs of the work for
sites with current EQIP program agreements/contracts through USDA/NRCS,
RI will assist the farmer/landowner by helping to address issues related to managing and
contracting for the required design, planning, permitting and construction. work for stream
enhancement practices on the site, as well as necessary structure work, and bank stabilization,
RI's objective is to help address current water quality degradation issues; however, work cannot
be guaranteed for acts of nature related to flood events. RI is working with MRCS, Conservation

Installation Notes:
Operate heavy grading equipment from the top of the banks to
the maximum extent possible.
Installation of the stream crossing shall not raise or lower the
stream bed at the crossing. Do not manipulate the stream
channel upstream or downstream of the crossing unless
specified in engineering plans.
Cut slopes must be treated according to the 342 - Critical Area
Planting Job Sheet as soon as possible after grading.
Siting Notes:
The crossing should be sited in a stable reach of the stream
where no erosion or deposition is occuring. Install in a
relatively straight section.
An instream structure for grade control (i.e. Rock Cross -Vane)
may be needed to ensure stability of the crossing. Contact an
engineer for assistance.
The ideal siting location is either immediately downstream of
the head of a riffle or across a coarse bed glide immediately
upstream of the head of rime. A crossing should not be sited
in a run or pool.
This standard design applies to most stream crossing scenarios
in the western North Carolina mountians, foothills, and
Piedmont where stream bed material is predominately gravel.
For sandy stream beds a different design may be necessary.
For cobble stream beds, a "ramp only" design may be more
appropriate. Contact engineering staff for assistance.
Operation and Maintenance:
Install gates to exclude livestock from crossing at all times
except when crossing is being used to move livestock.
Inspect the crossing and the fencing after any significant
rainfall event. Repair the fence according to the Break Away
Wire Fence Construction Specification.
If sediment or other debris accumulates at the bottom of the
ramps, carefully remove without damaging stone base or filter
cloth. Spoil material shall not he placed in the stream.
Contact SWCD or NRCS personnel if problems with the
crossing or components of the crossing arise.
Material Quantities:
Filter Cloth: _ sq.ft. or sq.yd.
or _ lin.ft, from a _ foot wide roll.

Construction Specification
Break Away Wire Fence Construction
This specification is intended to be used in conjunction
with other fence specifications which provide details
relating to the type offence and the type of bracing
required. Do not use this specification without the
accompanying specification which relates to the
specific type offence that is to be installed. This
specification is not to be applied to a specific site
unless the title block bears the name of the
landowner/operator and the signature of the person
approving the specification for a particular site.
2. 'Break Away' fence construction is recommended for
fences that cross the stream or are at near
perpendicular angles to the stream and are to be.
located in the floodway or floodplain. The concept of
the "Break Away' fence is that the fence wire
segments will separate and trail downstream when
significant debris lodges on the wire. After the high
water subsides the operator can easily restore the fence
with a hammer and a few replacement staples.
The "Break Away' fence involves lightly fastening the
wires of each strand on the downstream side of the
fence post for all posts that are in the floodway. The
wires are cut at one or more points so that the wire is
not continuous across the floodway. A minimum
overlap of six (6) inches of wire should be allowed on
either side of the securing staple. Cutting the fence
allows it to pull away from the fence posts during high
water events and trail downstream rather than
accumulating debris that eventually either breaks the
fence, pulls out the fence posts, creates a scour bole, or
a combination of the three.
4. Generally it is only necessary to cut the individual
strands of wire at only one post where they cross the
stream. Breaking the wire for a single strand at more
than one point may result in loss of a section of wire
when it breaks away from the post.
Install staples on the fence posts in the floodway by
lightly driving them only partially into the posts and
perpendicular to the post and in line with the grain of
the posts. This results in early pull-out of the staples
when the wire begins to load up with debris and exert
significant downstream force on the staple. The fence
will break away at the point where the wires are cut.
For multiple strand fences only the lower strands will
break away during storm events where flows do not
reach the upper strands.
NRCS 578 Stream Crossing (Ford Type)
3.6 Not to Scale
6. The wires should always be fastened to the downstream
side of the posts for those posts that are in the
floodplain and where the fence is crossing the stream
or is located in a position that is at or nearly
perpendicular to the flow of the stream. Otherwise the
wires should be placed as indicated in the specification
for the specific type offence.
7. Comer posts should be properly braced as indicated in
the specification for the specific type offence.
8. For stream crossings similar to that shown in the
illustrated drawing, it is possible that when multiple
strands "Break Away' during a flood event the strands
may tangle up in the debris and be difficult to separate
and reuse. In this case it may be easier to replace the
tangled strands with new wire. It may be
advantageous to stagger the break away strands on
alternate posts on either side of the stream.
9. The illustrated drawing for the `Break Away' fence
uses a stream crossing as the example in the plan view.
Other applications include property line fences or
divisional cross fences which cross the floodway or
floodplain perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the
floodplain but do not actually cross the stream.
10. CAUTION: Do not use barbed wire for break away
fences where livestock may become entangled and
injured by the trailing break away strands. High -
tensile wire or other smooth wire should be used at
locations where such entanglement and injury are
possible.
11. For fence systems in the floodway that are parallel or
nearly parallel to the flow of the stream, high -tensile
fence is recommended. Install fence with as few
intermediate stay posts as possible. Limit the number
of strands to the minimum absolutely required to
control the livestock. The fence should be installed in
long straight segments and as close as possible to
being parallel with the flow in the floodway during
high water events. Probably the most effective
measure is to set the fence back as far away from the
main channel of the stream as possible. The further
away from the stream channel the fence is placed the
less likely that damaging debris is going to strike or
accumulate on the fence. The use of barbed wire is
generally discouraged in these cases since the barbs
tend to accumulate so much debris.
