J usti n,
See narrative below.
Jason
We request exception to the condition that all work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that the
flowing stream does not come in contact with the disturbed area. This exception is requested in order to provide for
efficient construction with minimal time of site disturbance. Best management practices shall be used to minimize
excavation in flowing water. Equipment work will be done only in low -flow conditions. The first activity will be to
excavate a diversion channel lined with native river cobble to carry stream flow to the left side of the stream restoration
site during channel realignment and construction of in -stream structures. Final grading will be done from the banks. At
the end of each day, disturbed areas will be stabilized.

Hi Justin,
DWR received your PCN for a NW3 for this project. All our Certifications require work to be done in the
dry. The specific wording of the condition is below. If you propose to dewater the work area while
installing the structures and realigning the stream, you'll need to specifically request exemption from
the condition and provide justification. In addition, please specify any specific measures that will be
taken to ensure downstream water quality protection such as "all equipment working from the bank,
working only in low flow conditions, diverting the thalweg or majority of the flow away from work area,
only disturb an area that can be stabilized at the end of each day, use of a turbidity curtain downstream,
etc. (these are just examples and not everything you could consider). I'm copying the USACE and WRC
on this email because I believe both agencies will want to receive a copy of the request if you submit
one.
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does
not come in contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the
most current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DOT
Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams,
and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
Exceptions to this condition require application submittal to and written approval by the
Division.
Thanks,
