Johnson Division of Water Quality Mooresville Field Office 3`#i y? 610 East Center Ave, Ste 301 Q ,+ Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 jl'N Reference: Request for Information DWQ Project #08-0731 WEE ANDISANIO?sro 4 var??' iL??C'ia Broad River Highlands Cleveland County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Johnson, A Request for Information letter from the DWQ was received by Mr. Todd Black, Owner/Developer on June 3, 2008 outlining six (a-f) minor items in need of response. This letter was based on a site visit with Alan Johnson from the DWQ and Anna Salzberg from ClearWater Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) at the Broad River Highlands project in Cleveland County (Figures 1-2). This letter addresses all items, which are included in detail below. Please see revised Figures 4.1-4.4 (1 : 200 scale) and Detail Sheets A-C (1 : 50 scale) for plan representation of all changes made according to the Request for Information letters and site visit. These plans have been sent to both the DWQ Raleigh office and Mooresville office. a) Impact #1: The proposed road that runs adjacent to this stream is shown improperly on the site diagram. This should be corrected and a copy provided to DWQ. The road is shown impacting the stream channel. The road was shown incorrectly on this original site plan, and has been corrected to represent accurately on the plan what is proposed for the project site. See revised Figures 4.1-4.4 (1 : 200 scale) and Details A-C (1 : 50 scale). 718 Oakland Street Hendersonville, Norfh Carolina 28791 Phone: 828-698-9800 Fax: 828-698-9003 www.cwenv.com Mr. Alan Johnson June 11, 2008 Page 2 of 3 b) Impact #2: The crossing shall be located below the confluence of the two channels. This temporary crossing #2 was removed from the impact plans and will not be utilized in the field. The crossing will be restored and the banks will be graded to match upstream and downstream topography. The banks will be replanted following the N.C. Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration (see Figure 3). c) Impact #4: The rip rap in the stream immediately up and down stream of the culvert needs to be imbedded in to the channel to allow for better stream flow and aquatic passage. As recommended, heavy machinery will be utilized to imbed the rip rap into the stream channel, thereby holding the stream grade flowing through the culverts and allowing for aquatic life passage. d) Impact #5: There is no need for the utilization of the temporary crossing. This temporary crossing #5 was removed from the impact plans and will not be utilized in the field. The crossing will be restored and the banks will be graded to match upstream and downstream topography. The banks will be replanted following the N.C. Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration (see Figure 3). e) Impact #6: The proposed temporary crossing should be upstream of the jurisdictional limit. Strongly recommended that silt fence and check dam be utilitzed to prevent the potential of sediment entering the stream below the crossing. This temporary crossing #6 was removed from the impact plans and will not impact jurisdictional stream or wetland areas. The crossing will be restored and the banks will be graded to match upstream and downstream topography. The banks will be replanted following the N.C. Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration (see Figure 3). fi Impact #7: There is no need of the utilization of this site for a temporary crossing. This temporary crossing #7 was removed from the impact plans and will not be utilized in the field. The crossing will be restored and the banks will be graded to match upstream and downstream topography. The banks will be replanted following the N.C. Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration (see Figure 3).
