WAT ER QUALITY WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH 0 8 - l Baker Engineering NY, Inc. 797 Haywood Road Suite 201 Asheville, North Carolina 28806 NC Division of Water Quality 828-350-1408 FAX 828-350-1409 Attn: Cyndi Karoly 401 /Wetlands Unit n 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250 PAYM.T Raleigh, NC 27604 Subject: Preconstruction Notification and request for 404 and 401 permits for the construction of the EEP Full Delivery Project called "Robinson Creek Restoration Project". Robinson Creek, French Broad River Basin - CU# 06010105, Buncombe County, NC. Dear Ms. Karoly: Enclosed with this letter are five (5) copies of the Pre-Construction Notification, EEP approved restoration plan, project plan set, EEP approval letter and an electronic version of these materials. I have also attached to the PCN a check for $570.00 to cover the application fee. Baker has signed an MOU with DWQ for electronic submission of applications and we have attempted to follow DWQ's guidance with this. In addition I have sent one additional copy directly to Kevin Barnett to save your office the time and expense of forwarding it to him. We have also submitted this information to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and N.C. Land Quality Section for their review. We are providing this information for your department's consideration and comments relative to 401 permitting. Robinson Creek is designated as a Class C, trout by the Division of Water Quality. However, we have seen no evidence that the reach supports a trout population; watershed development and lack of a riparian canopy may currently prevent the reach from supporting trout. The attached plans should provide the information needed to evaluate this permit request and we are prepared to meet with personnel from your office to further discuss the project, if you so desire. We believe that the proposed activities are necessary to address existing erosion and sedimentation problems and should provide long-term improvements that will greatly decrease the possibility of future instability at this site. We have made great efforts to avoid impacting most of the mature trees adjacent to the project site. In addition we will be planting diverse native herbaceous and woody vegetation that should promote long-term site stability. As required by the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund program we have established a conservation easement on this site that will protect the stream corridor from on-going development in this watershed. We believe that the results of this project will improve habitat at this site for native aquatic and terrestrial species and provide long-term protection. We are prepared to adhere to the trout spawning moratorium on this project if requested by the NCWRC. We are trying to move this project to construction as soon as possible in order to implement part of the project prior to the fall closure. Your timely review will be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions, please contact me as soon as possible at 828-350-1408 ext. 2004 or 843-906-1387.

Brookwood Country Club and Golf Course Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): The site is located off of Mills Gap Road 1.7 miles east of the intersection of Mills Gap Road and Sweeten Creek Road. The site begins at Mills Gap Road and extends approximately 3,837 feet downstream through what was the Brookwood Golf Course. 5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)

French Broad (Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is available at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/admin/maps/.) Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The general land use surroundin theme site has been in Updated 11 i U2005 Page 2 of 10 medium-density residential development and in recreational use golf course). Future plans for the site include construction of a condominium and townhome development nearby. The project area will be set aside as part of a rg_een space and park to protect the floodplain and increase the recreational value of the site Existing land cover within the protect site consists of golf fairways with some exotic invasive vegetation and forested area adjacent to the course There is currently no riparian buffer present as the majority of the project area is between fairways. Most of the project reach is moderately unstable as evidenced b bank erosion bed scour and some bed aggradation As a result Robinson Creek is transporting an excessive load of sediment to areas of the channel downstream of the project site and to Cane Creek. A lack of riparian buffer and unstable streambed has also led to poor aquatic habitat. Restoration and enhancement activities proposed will stabilize the channel, significantly diminish bank erosion restore aquatic and terrestrial habitat and establish a diverse riparian plant community. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Restoration and enhancement activities proposed for this site include: construction of approximately 1,300 linear feet (LF) of new channel and 2,537. LF of in dace channel enhancement to improve channel hydraulics Of the 2,537 LF of enhancement work proposed approximately 280 LF of work will be conducted on an unnamed tributary (UT) to Robinson Creek The creation of 1,300 LF of new channel has been designed to prevent further introduction of sediment into the stream from the western hill slope that is failing as a result of the existing location of the channel In addition to new channel construction, restoration and enhancement work will include the use of multiple constructed riffles and various bioengineering measures Application of these grade control and stabilization techniques throughout the project reach will improve channel hydraulics, reduce streambank erosion and increase aquatic habitat diversity. Matting and other bank protection will be placed on streambanks to prevent further erosion as channel and riparian vegetation become established Exotic invasive vegetation will be removed within the project area. In addition to areas that are cleared of exotic invasive vegetation the project stream corridor will be planted with native species of trees shrubs grasses and herbaceous cover. Baker and RiverLink will establish a conservation easement along the entire project reach of Robinson Creek This conservation easement will protect the stream corridor from future impacts and will be held in perpetuity as a NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund easement. This project will require the use of track-hoes with hydraulic thumbs a bulldozer for ?reading and dump trucks to haul materials around the site Work will take place in the dry by constructing new channel reaches offline and using pumps to pump water around areas where work will take lace in the existing channel. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of this project is to establish a conservation easement on this section of Robinson Creek, stabilize stream banks, improve channel hydraulics improve fish and wildlife habitat and restore floodplain functions to the riparian area re-established within the easement The stream channel and stream banks are moderately unstable due to previous channel straightening and lack of riparian buffer. If left unchecked the instability will continue to cause losses to private property and public resources in addition to degrading water quality and aquatic habitat. Updated 11/1/2005 Page 3 of 10 IV.

Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts may be realized from temporarily increased turbidity levels as constructed riffles and bioen ing eering measures are installed from temporary loss of vegetation and from altering stream channel pattern profile and dimension. Impacts from this work will be avoided or minimized whenever possible. Over-widened channel conditions and bank erosion will be addressed by the installation of grade control structures rootwad clusters and riparian plantings. These 'measures will stabilize failing stream banks and provide overall im rovement to habitat quality. The unstable stream profile and bank failures located in sections "Offline Reaches 1, 2, and 3" will be improved by bringing online new channel sections that move Robinson Creek away from the unstable hillslope. Vegetative cover along the project reaches will be enhanced by adding woody vegetation and herbaceous cover thereby providing higher quality biomass to the stream to support aquatic food chains (see attached site plan and planting plan). Invasive Updated 11/1/2005 Page 4 of 10 vegetative species will be removed during reforestation efforts of the riparian. buffer and will be replaced with native species complementing streambank and channel restoration work. Anticipated long-term impacts of the project include an increase in stream bank stability, increased heterogeneity of instream habitat and improved vegetative cover. 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ? Yes ® No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USAGE. 7. Pond Creation Updated 11%1/2005 Page 6 of 10 If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A. Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The nature of stream enhancement and restoration work requires that the work be done as described. To avoid and minimize potential impacts we will be clearing and grubbing only that amount of stream bank that can be graded seeded and matted by the end of the day. To minimize temporary impacts caused by in-stream channel restoration work or channel pattern alteration, grading will be done in the dry as much as possible When work has to occur in the existing channel or connections to sections of new channel have to be made a temporary barrier will be set in place above the construction area and water pooled above it J, 11)<ir; ?.° will be pumped around the area. The pump and barrier will be removed when the area is stabilized. All graded ground surfaces will be seeded with temporary and permanent seed mulched and matted to prevent erosion. All staging areas and soil stockpile areas will be separated from flowing water by grass buffer strips and/or silt fencing. Erosion control BMPs will be used throughout the ro'ect to avoid sedimentation of the stream The attached Rlan set shows details of these BMPs. 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 Updated 11/1/2005 Page 7 of 10 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.

Baker Engineering NY, Inc. 797 Haywood Road Suite 201 Asheville, North Carolina 28806 June 16, 2008 Asheville Regulatory Field Office US Army Corps of Engineers Attn: Mr. Tom Walker, Office Manager 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, NC 28801-5006 828-350-1408 FAX 828-350-1409 Subject: Preconstruction Notification and request for 404 and 401 permits for the construction of the NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund Stream Restoration Project called "Robinson Creek Restoration Project": Robinson Creek, French Broad River Basin - CU# 06010105, Buncombe County, NC. Dear Mr. Walker: Enclosed with this letter are the Pre-Construction Notification, project plan set, and other pertinent information that are being submitted for regulatory review. We have also submitted this information to the N. C. Division of Water Quality, N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, and N.C. Land Quality Section for their review. We are providing this information for your department's consideration and comments relative to the Clean Water Act §404 permitting process. Robinson Creek is designated as a Class C, trout by the Division of Water Quality. However, we have seen no evidence that the reach supports a trout population, and watershed development andlack of a riparian canopy may prevent the reach from supporting trout. The attached plans should provide the information needed to evaluate this permit request and we are prepared to meet with personnel from your office to further discuss the project, if you so desire. We believe that the proposed activities are necessary to address existing erosion and sedimentation problems and should provide long-term improvements that will greatly decrease the possibility of future instability at this site. We have made great efforts to avoid impacting most of the mature trees adjacent to the project site. In addition we will be planting diverse native herbaceous and woody vegetation that should promote long-term site stability. As required by the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund program we have established a conservation easement on this site that will protect the stream corridor from on-going development in this watershed. We believe that the results of this project will improve habitat at this site for native aquatic and terrestrial species and provide long-term protection. We are prepared to adhere to the trout spawning moratorium on this project if requested by the NCWRC. We are trying to move this project to construction as soon as possible in order to implement part of the project prior to the fall closure. We would then complete the project in the spring. Your timely review will be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions, please contact me as soon as possible at 828-350-1408 ext. 2004 or 843-906-1387.

Robinson Creek, French Broad River Basin - CU# 06010105, Buncombe County, NC. Dear Ms. Boyer: We are providing this letter to notify you we have submitted a Pre-Construction Notification to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, N.C. Division of Water Quality and N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission for Clean Water Act 404 and 401 permitting. I have also attached a check for $455.00 to cover the application fee. This information is being submitted to your office for your review of our Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans and permission to move forward with our proj ect. We also request a trout buffer waiver for this site. We are proposing to conduct restoration and enhancement activities on approximately 3,500 linear feet of Robinson Creek which is listed as a Class C Trout Water in this segment of the creek. We have seen no evidence that the reach supports a trout population; watershed development and lack of a riparian canopy may currently prevent the reach from supporting trout. The plan set enclosed should provide the information needed to evaluate this trout buffer waiver request. Currently, the riparian zone within the project area consists of golf fareways. Enhancements made to the Robinson Creek corridor will include the re-establishment of a riparian zone for this section of Robinson Creek. We believe that the proposed activities are necessary to address existing erosion and sedimentation problems and should provide long-term improvements that will greatly decrease the possibility of future instability at this site. Robinson Creek is designated as a Class C, trout by the Division of Water Quality and this stream does support a resident trout population. The attached plans should provide the information needed to evaluate this permit request and we are prepared to meet with personnel from your office to further discuss the project, if you so desire. We believe that the proposed activities are necessary to address existing erosion and sedimentation problems and should provide long-term improvements that will greatly decrease the possibility of fixture instability at this site. We have made great efforts to avoid impacting most of the mature trees adjacent to the project site. Riparian zones noted above will be established for the entire project reach and will contain a diversity of native herbaceous and woody vegetation that should promote long-term site stability. As required by the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund program we have established a conservation easement on this site that will protect the stream corridor from on-going development in this watershed.
