Re: Dotson Branch Stream Restoration Projec P
Section 401 Permit
Ms. Higgins,
Resource Institute, Inc. (RI) is seeking approval from the NC DEQ for a Section 401 Permit for
construction of the Dotson Branch Stream Restoration Site (the Site) in Haywood County,
North Carolina. Restoration is proposed for approximately 10,365 linear feet of Dotson Branch
and its tributaries (named Medford Branch, Charles Branch, Crawford Branch, Ferguson
Branch, James Branch, UT to James Branch, Smart Branch and Barn Branch for the purposes
of this project).
Funding for the proposed restoration efforts is being coordinated by RI and the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (MRCS), and is a combination of state funding and the NRCS
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
RI has contracted with Wolf Creek Engineering to provide design and construction oversight
services for the implementation of the restoration. The construction plans are included as an
attachment to this permit application. The following is a brief description of the site conditions
and the proposed restoration efforts.
Project Location
The Site is located in the southern Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina, in
Haywood County, approximately 8 miles north of Waynesville. The upstream end of the Site
lies at LAVLONG 35.6041138890 N, 82.9709805560 W. The site drains to the Pigeon River
(USGS 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code 06010106).
Property and Land Use
The Site includes twelve (12) privately held tracts of land totaling approximately 251.4 acres.
Site steams have been negatively impacted by current or past agricultural practices, including
livestock operations, row crop cultivation, and steam channelization and dredging.

Restoration Goals and Objectives
The primary goal of the Dotson Branch Stream Restoration Project is to repair degraded
reaches of stream through implementation of sound restoration techniques, including bank
stabilization and in -stream structure installation.
The project objectives include the following:
• Improve water quality and reduce sediment input by stabilizing actively eroding banks
• Establish a buffer maintenance policy with the property owners to provide riparian
buffers
• Increase aquatic habitat and channel bed form diversity through the installation of in -
stream and brush toe structures
• Correct channel incision and erratic meander behavior through the excavation of a
floodplain at bankfull elevation
Existing Conditions
The watershed is approximately 42% forested, with agricultural and low-density residential
land use composing the remainder. Based upon historic aerial imagery, the majority of the land
within the Site boundary has been in agricultural production for over twenty years.
Dotson Branch flows from south to north towards the Pigeon River with a contributing
watershed of approximately 1.43 square miles. The average bed widths of Dotson Branch and
its tributaries within the Site vary between 1.5 feet at the upstream end and 8 feet at the
downstream end, and the depths -to -terrace range from approximately one foot to six feet. Many
of the channel banks are vertical, actively eroding bluffs which contribute significantly to the
sediment input into the Pigeon River.
Dotson Branch and its tributaries drain land currently being used to support two dairy
operations, including feed lots, grazing, and row crop and hay production. Most reaches lack a
riparian buffer and several reaches continue to be impacted by unrestricted livestock access.
The outfall of Dotson Branch into the Pigeon River was recently identified as a point source of
fecal coliform contamination.
Restoration Methods
A geomorphically stable pattern will be returned to streams within the Site by realigning the
channels and repairing actively eroding banks. A new floodplain will be excavated at bankfull
elevation which will increase flood conveyance and correct channel incision, therefore reducing
stress on the bed and banks during flood events. In -stream log and boulder structures, as well as
brush toe structures, will be installed to increase bed form and aquatic habitat diversity, and
will be constructed using onsite material whenever possible. The proposed channel bed will be
constructed of onsite, native bed material.
Wetland and Stream Impacts
Jurisdictional wetlands have not been delineated within the limits of the proposed construction
activities. Unavoidable, temporary stream impacts will occur along the entire length of Dotson
Branch and its tributaries within the Site boundary in order to construct the channel along its
proposed alignment, repair deteriorating banks and provide approximately 10,365 linear feet of
12'/z Wall Street, Suite C • Asheville, NC 28801 • 828.449.1930 • www. wolf creekeng.corn

restoration. Efforts will be made to minimize the impacts to the channel banks and, where
disturbances occur, bank stabilization techniques will be implemented to re-establish native
vegetation.
Summary
We anticipate that the immediate effects of implementing this project will be temporary ground
disturbance due to the use of heavy equipment in the construction of the stream components.
These activities are necessary to reverse the extensive disturbance and degradation of the Site.
The long-term effects of the project will be an overall enhancement and restoration of stream
functions and riparian buffer.

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 proposed project is located on privately owned properties used for agricultural production. Site stream exhibits
excessive erosion and instabilities due to these agricultural practices.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.00 acres
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Approximately 11,497 linear feet of existing stream
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to restore ecological function, natural stability and aquatic and terrestrial habitat to a riparian
system which has been negatively impacted by agricultural use.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed activities are intended to restore degraded portions of the Dotson Branch and its unnamed tributaries that
drain into the Pigeon River located at the project outfall. Erosion control measures will be installed prior to any land
disturbing activity to prevent erosion and retain sedimentation onsite. Where the stream channel departs from
morphologically stable conditions, it will be reconstructed with proper dimension, pattern and profile. Restoration will
include the excavation of a new floodplain at bankfull elevation and the installation of in -stream structures to provide
stream bed integrity and improved habitat for aquatic species. Native vegetation will be planted to provide restoration of a
natural forested buffer adjacent to the stream channels and habitat for insect, terrestrial and avian species. Upon
completion of the work, all access roads, staging areas, construction entrances and silt fence will be removed and all
disturbed soils will be stabilized with mulch and native seed to establish permanent ground cover. Equipment anticipated
for construction efforts include track -hoes, skid -steers, track -trucks and off-road trucks.
