Dear Mr. McMillan:
Thank you for your review of the permit for Mountain Watch Development
(DWQ # 08-1627). After further investigation, I have verified that Mr. Lasley as
Brannon Investment Property, LLC obtained a permit from the US Army Corps of
Engineers January 17, 2006. This letter is enclosed for your records. At that time it
appears that Mr. Lasley failed to request a section 401 concurrence from the Division of
Water Quality. This application (copy enclosed) requested permission to impact 120
linear feet total of Jaynes Cove Branch and two UT to Jaynes Cove Branch. This work
was completed prior to the March 18, 2007 expiration of the Corps authorization. During
the installation of the culvert at location 43, a pond and rock dam was constructed
upstream of the culvert. Also erosion control measures (silt fence and basin) have been
installed downstream of the culvert.
Therefore, I am submitting documentation of the after the fact permit for the
construction of the three culverts, pond and rock dam. These plans are as-built. This
revised application also requests permission to remove the erosion control devices
downstream of culvert #3 and removal of siltation in the pond.
I have corrected the PCN to reflect request under Nationwide Permit Number 39,
the additional impacts and addressed the other concerns of your letter. I am not sure
where the calculation of 261 linear feet (indicated in your letter) of impacts is stated in
the PCN previously submitted. The initial request was to remove approximately 18 cy of
silt from the pond.
I hope this will address all your concerns. Should you need additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Wanda H. Austin, PE

VIII. Mitigation
Page 9 of 13
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
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.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.

Asheville, N.C. 28806
Soils Map and Soils Description

EdF-Edneyville-Chestnut complex, 50 to 95
percent slopes, stony. This map unit consists of very
steep, well drained Edneyville and Chestnut soils. The
Edneyville soil is very deep, and the Chestnut soil is
moderately deep. These soils are on south- to west-
facing side slopes of intermediate mountains. Stones
and boulders are scattered on the surface. Typically,
the unit is about 50 percent Edneyville soil and 35
percent Chestnut soil. The two soils occur as areas too
intricately mixed and too small in size to map them
separately at the selected scale. Individual areas are
irregular in shape and range from 5 to 200 acres in
size. Elevation ranges from 3,500 to 4,800 feet.
Typically, the sequence, depth, and composition of
the layers of this Edneyville soil are as follows-
irface layer:
0 to 3 inches-brown gravelly loam
lbsoil:
3 to 34 inches-yellowish brown sandy loam
derlying material.
34 to 60 inches-multicolored saprolite of gravelly
loamy sand
Typically, the sequence, depth, and composition of
the layers of this Chestnut soil are as follows-
Surface layer.
0 to 4 inches-dark brown gravelly loam
Subsoil:
4 to 21 inches--dark yellowish brown gravelly loam
Underlying material:
21 to 30 inches-yellowish brown gravelly sandy
loam
Bedrock.
30 to 60 inches-weathered, multicolored high-
grade metamorphic and igneous bedrock
Air and water move through these soils at a
moderately rapid rate. Surface runoff is very rapid in
bare areas. The depth to soft bedrock is more than 60
inches in the Edneyville soil and ranges from 20 to 40
inches in the Chestnut soil. The content of organic
matter in the surface layer of both soils ranges from low
to high. The rooting depth is greater than 60 inches in
the Edneyville soil and ranges from 20 to 40 inches in
the Chestnut soil. The potential for frost action is
moderate in both soils. .
Included in this unit in mapping are small areas of
Ashe and Cleveland soils near rock outcrops, Cowee
and Evard soils or :lose slopes, Plott soils on cool
aspects, and Tucl• segee and Cullasaja soils in narrow
drainageways. Ast. soils are moderately deep to hard
bedrock, and Clevek.nd soils are shallow to hard
bedrock. Cowee and Evard soils have a subsoil that is
redder than that of the Edneyville and Chestnut soils
and has 18 to 35 percent clay. Plott, Tuckasegee, and
Cullasaja soils have a surface layer that is thicker than
that of the Edneyville and Chestnut soils. Cullasaja soils
have more than 35 percent rock fragments in the
subsoil. Some prominent exposed ridgetops are
windswept. Also included are soils that have soft
bedrock at a depth of 40 to 60 inches, areas of rock
outcrops, and some small areas of soils th, t :Ia.,,& high content of mica. Contrasting inclusions make up
about .15 percent of this map unit.
Most of this map unit is used for timber production.
Cleared areas are used for pasture. A few areas are
used for building site development.
These Edneyville and Chestnut soils are poorly
suited to timber production because of the slope.
Upland hardwoods, such as white oak, hickory, scarlet
oak, and chestnut oak, eastern white pine, and yellow
pines are the common trees. Managing the natural
regeneration of hardwoods is the best method of
,eforestation. Cutting all of the trees can increase the
.._ ,iatural regeneration of hardwoods. The main concerns
in timber management are the hazard of erosion and
the slope. The use of wheeled and tracked equipment is
dangerous on these soils. Cable yarding generally is
safer to use, requires fewer roads, and causes less
damage to the soils. A buffer zone of trees and shrubs
should be left adjacent to perennial streams to prevent
siltation and warming of streams.
These soils are poorly suited to pasture because of
the slope. Adapted forage species include tall fescue,
orchardgrass, native bluegrass, and legumes. The
hazard of erosion is severe in unvegetated areas. It
also is severe in areas along waterways where livestock
destroy plant cover. Preventing overgrazing, preventing
grazing along waterways, and grazing only when the
soils are dry help to control erosion. Operating farm
machinery on these soils is dangerous. Hand
application of lime, fertilizer, seed, and herbicides is
necessary because of the slope.
These soils are poorly suited to building site
development because of the slope. Any excavation
increases the hazard of erosion. Revegetating disturbed
areas and using erosion-control structures, such as
sediment fences and catch basins, help to keep
sediments onsite. Concrete foundations may be
damaged by the high corrosivity of the soils. Corrosion-
resistant material should be used.
These soils are poorly suited to septic tank
absorption fields because of the moderate depth to soft
bedrock in the Chestnut soil and the slope. Untreated
effluent can move along the surface of the restrictive
layer and seep downslope, thus creating a health
hazard. Onsite investigation is needed to locate sites on
the Edneyville soil for sewage disposal. Because the
slope can cause seepage, absorption fields should be
installed on the contour.
These soils are poorly suited to access roads
because of the slope. The moderate potential for frost
action is an additional limitation. Access roads should
be designed to remove runoff safely. The soft bedrock
in the Chestnut soil is difficult to excavate, and chunks
of soft bedrock are hard to pack or difficult to vegetate
on fill slopes. Frost action may damage unprotected
road surfaces. The hazard of erosion can be reduced
by vegetating all disturbed areas and installing water-
control structures, such as culverts, broad-based dips,
water bars, and outsloped roads. Regular maintenance
of cut and fill slopes, the road surface, and water-
control structures is needed. Surface water should not
be diverted across fill slopes.
The capability subclass is We. Based on northern
red oak as the indicator species, the woodland
ordination symbol is 4R.
l?O)
EvE-Evard-Co wee complex, 30 to 50 percent
slopes. This map unit consists of steep, well drained
Evard and Cowee soils. The Evard soil is very deep,
and the Cowee soil is moderately deep. These soils are
on side slopes of intermountain hills and low mountains.
i ypically, the unit is about 45 percent Evard soil and 40
percent Cowee soil. The two soils occur as areas too
intricately mixed and too small in size to map them
separately at the selected scale. Individual areas are
irregular in shape and range from 5 to 100 acres in
size. Elevation ranges from 2,500 to 3,500 feet.
Typically, the sequence, depth, and composition of
the layers of this Evard soil are as follows-
Surface layer.
0 to 2 inches-dark brown gravelly loam
Subsoil:
2 to 11 inches-strong brown loam
11 to 27 inches-yellowish red loam
27 to 40 inches-red loam
Underlying material.
40 to 60 inches-multicolored saprolite of gravelly
sandy loam
Typically, the sequence, depth, and composition of
the layers of this Cowee soil are as follows-
Surface layer:
0 to 3 inches-dark yellowish brown gravelly loam
Subsurface layer.
3 to 6 inches-strong brown gravelly loam
Subsoil:
6 to 11 inches-yellowish red gravelly loam
11 to 24 inches-red clay loam
24 to 28 inches-red sandy clay loam
Bedrock:
28 to 60 inches-weathered, multicolored high-
grade metamorphic and igneous bedrock
Air and water move through these soils at a
moderate rate. Surface runoff is rapid in bare areas.
The depth to soft bedrock is more than 60 inches in the
Evard soil and ranges from 20 to 40 inches in the
Cowee soil. The content of organic matter in the surface
layer of both soils ranges from low to high. The rooting
depth is greater than 60 inches in the Evard soil and
ranges from 20 to 40 inches in the Cowee soil. The
potential for frost action is moderate in both soils.
Included in this unit in mapping are small areas of
Hayesville soils on spur ridges, Fannin soils
intermingled with the Evard and Cowee soils on side
slopes, Saunook soils along drainageways, and Trimont
soils on the cooler side slopes. Hayesville soils have
more than 35 percent clay in the subsoil. Fannin soils
tiave a high content of mica. Saunook and Trimont soils
-nave a surface layer that is thicker and darker than that
of the Evard and Cowee soils. Saunook soils have a
subsoil that is browner than that of the Evard and
Cowee soils. Also included are areas of soils that have
soft bedrock at a depth of 40 to 60 inches or at a depth
of 10 to 20 inches, severely eroded areas, and areas of
rock outcrops. Contrasting inclusions make up about 15
percent of this map unit.
Most of this map unit is used as woodland. The rest
is used for pasture, orchards, ornamental crops, or
building site development.
These Evard and Cowee soils are poorly suited to
timber production because of the slope. Upland
hardwood, such as white oak, hickory, scarlet oak, and
chestnut oak, eastern white pine, and yellow pines are
the common trees. Planting eastern white pine is the
best method of reforestation. The main concerns in
timber management are the hazard of erosion and the
slope. Wheeled and tracked equipment can be used in
the less steep areas, but cable yarding generally is
safer to use and does not disturb the soils as much in
the steeper areas. Using standard wheeled and tracked
equipment when the soils are wet causes rutting and
compaction. Soil compaction can be reduced by using
low-pressure ground equipment, laying out skid trails in
advance, and harvesting timber when the soils are dry.
A buffer zone of trees and shrubs should be left
adjacent to perennial streams to prevent siltation and
warming of streams. Site preparation for pines, such as
burning and herbicide application, helps to reduce
immediate plant competition and improve seedling
survival. Burning also helps to minimize debris and
lower planting costs. Ripping skid trails and landings
when the soils are dry breaks up compacted layers,
improves tilth, and increases seedling survival.
These soils are poorly suited to pasture and unsuited
to hay because of the slope and a severe hazard of
erosion. Adapted forage species include mixtures of tall
fescue or orchardgrass and legumes. The hazard of
erosion is severe in unvegetated areas. Eroded sites
can crust or become sealed and thus cause poor
infiltration of water. The hazard of erosion also is
severe in areas along waterways where livestock
destroy plant cover. Preventing overgrazing, preventing
grazing along waterways, and grazing only when the
soils are dry help to control erosion. Operating farm
machinery on slopes greater than 30 percent is unsafe.
Hand application of lime, fertilizer, seeds, and
herbicides is necessary because of the slope.
These soils are poorly suited to orchards and
ornamental crops because of the slope and the hazard
of erosion. Sod should be established and maintained
between rows and on farm paths to control erosion. The
soils are suitable for ball and burlap harvesting because
of an acceptable amount of clay in the subsoil.
These soils are poorly suited to building site
development because of the slope. All excavated areas
ate susceptible to severe erosion if they are left
unprotected. Revegetating disturbed areas and using
erosion-control structures, such as sediment fences and
catch basins, help to keep sediments onsite. Using
corrosion-resistant material for foundations, basements,
i`i-N
and underground utilities helps to offset the risk of
corrosion to steel and concrete. The soft bedrock in the
Cowee soil can hinder excavation, and chunks of soft
bedrock are hard to pack or difficult to vegetate on fill
slopes.
These soils are poorly suited to septic tank
1 absorption fields because of the moderate depth to soft
bedrock in the Cowee soil and the slope. Untreated
effluent can move along the surface of the restrictive
layer and seep downslope, thus creating a health
hazard. Onsite investigation is needed to locate sites on
the Evard soil for sewage disposal. Because the slope
can cause effluent to seep to the surface, septic tank
absorption fields should be installed on the contour.
These soils are poorly suited to access roads
because of the slope. The moderate potential for frost
action is an additional limitation. During rainy periods,
roads in bare areas are slippery and can be
impassable. Access roads should be designed to
remove runoff safely. Runoff can be controlled by
vegetating all disturbed areas and installing water-
control structures, such as culverts, broad-based dips,
water bars, and outsloped roads. The design of roads
for year-round use should include a well compacted
roadbed or geotextile under a gravel surface. This
design is needed for road support and to reduce
maintenance. Regular maintenance of cut and fill
slopes, the road surface, and water-control structures is
needed. Surface water should not be diverted across fill
slopes.
The capability subclass is Vile. Based on chestnut
oak as the indicator species, the woodland ordination
symbol is 4R in areas of the Evard soil and 3R in areas
of the Cowee soil.
SdD-Saunook loam, 15 to 30 percent slopes,
stony. This moderately steep, very deep, well drained
soil is in coves, in drainageways, on toe slopes, and on
benches of low mountains and intermountain hills.
Stones are scattered on the surface. Individual areas
are irregular in shape and range from 5 to 100 acres in
size. Elevation ranges from 2,500 to 3,500 feet.
Typically, the sequence, depth, and composition of
the layers of this Saunook soil are as follows-
Surface layer:
0 to 9 inches-very dark brown loam
Subsoil:
9 to 28 inches-dark yellowish brown loam
28 to 34 inches--dark yellowish brown cobbly loam
34 to 65 inches-yellowish brown cobbly sandy
loam
Air and water move through this soil at a moderate
rate. Surface runoff is rapid in bare areas. The depth to
bedrock is more than 60 inches. The rooting depth is
greater than 60 inches. The content of organic matter in
the surface layer is moderate to very high. This soil is .
subject to seeps and springs below the surface and at
the surface. The potential for frost action is moderate.
Included in this unit in mapping are small areas of
Braddock and Dillsboro soils intermingled with the
Saunook soil on benches and knolls and Hayesville
soils along the edge of the unit. Hayesville, Braddock,
and Dillsboro soils have more than 35 percent clay in
the subsoil. Also included are some soils that have
more than 35 percent rock fragments in the subsoil,
some small areas that are very bouldery, and some
soils that have major soil properties similar to those of
the Saunook soil and have similar use and
management. The similar soils have a subsoil that is
redder than that of the Saunook soil. Contrasting
inclusions make up about 15 percent of this map unit.
About half of this map unit is used for cropland,
pasture, hay,. orchards, or ornamental crops. The rest is
used for woodland or building site development. Some
areas are in the Pisgah National Forest and are used
for timber production, wildlife habitat, or recreation.
This Saunook soil is moderately suited to timber
production because of the slope. Productivity, however,
is high. Cove hardwoods, such as yellow-poplar, black
cherry, northern red oak, and red maple, are the
common trees. Eastern white pine and eastern hemlock
also grow on this soil. The soil can be reforested by
managing the natural regeneration of hardwoods or by
planting eastern white pine. Site preparation for
hardwoods that includes cutting all of the trees can
increase natural regeneration. The main concerns in
timber management are the slope and a hazard of
erosion. Wheeled and tracked equipment can be used
but can cause rutting and compaction when the soil is
wet. Soil compaction can be reduced by using low-
pressure ground equipment, laying out skid trails in
advance, and harvesting timber when the soil is dry. A
buffer zone of trees and shrubs should be left adjacent
to perennial streams to prevent siltation and warming of
streams. Site preparation for pines, such as burning
and herbicide application, helps to reduce immediate
plant competition and improve seedling survival.
Burning also helps to minimize debris and lower
planting costs. Ripping skid trails and landings when the
soil is dry breaks up compacted layers, improves tilth,
and increases seedling survival.

This soil is poorly suited to cropland because of the
slope and a severe hazard of erosion. Erosion-control
measures are difficult and expensive to establish and
maintain on this soil. The stones on the surface should
be removed to prevent damage to farm equipment. Soil-
applied herbicides may be ineffective if used at normal
rates because of the high content of organic matter in
the surface layer. Higher rates are not recommended
because of increased costs and potential environmental
pollution.
This soil is moderately suited to hay and pasture
because of the slope. Adapted forage species include
mixtures of tall fescue or orchardgrass and legumes for
spring and fall production and sudangrass and alfalfa
for summer production. The hazard of erosion is severe
in unvegetated areas. It also is severe in areas along
waterways where livestock destroy plant cover.
Preventing overgrazing, preventing grazing along
waterways, and grazing only when the soil is dry help to
control erosion. Eroded sites can crust or become
sealed, and the result is poor infiltration of water. Seeps
and springs can be developed as water sources for
livestock. The stones on the surface should be removed
to prevent damage to farm equipment.
This soil is moderately suited to orchards and
ornamental crops because of the slope. Sod should be
established and maintained between rows and on farm
paths. Soil-applied herbicides may be ineffective if used
at normal rates because of the high content of organic
matter in the surface layer. Higher rates are not
recommended because of increased costs and potential
environmental pollution. The soil is suitable for ball and
burlap harvesting because of an acceptable amount of
clay in the subsoil.
This soil is poorly suited to building site development
because of the slope. All excavated areas are
susceptible to moderate erosion if they are left
unprotected. Revegetating disturbed areas and using
erosion-control structures, such as sediment fences and
catch basins, help to keep sediments onsite. Excavation
is hindered by underground springs and cobbles and
stones. Building sites should be graded so that surface
runoff is directed away from the structure. Using
corrosion-resistant material for foundations and
basements helps to offset the risk of corrosion to
concrete. Installing perforated drainage tile around the
foundations helps to reduce the wetness caused by
underground springs.
This soil is poorly suited to septic tank absorption
fields because of the slope. Filter fields should be
installed on the contour. Areas containing seeps or
springs should not be selected as sites. Trench walls
are susceptible to smearing if the soil is excavated
when wet. Raking the trench walls removes smeared
surfaces.
This soil is poorly suited to access roads because of
the slope. The moderate potential for frost action and
low strength are additional limitations. During rainy
periods, access roads in bare areas are slippery and
can be impassable. The design of access roads should
control surface runoff and help to stabilize cut and fill
slopes. In some areas the deep cuts made when
leveling a surface for an access road can expose
cobbles and stones. The design of roads for year-round
use should include a well compacted roadbed or
geotextile under a gravel surface. This design is needed
for road support and to reduce maintenance. Unless it
is removed, water from seeps and springs can saturate
the roadbed. The roads may need more culverts than
normal. The hazard of erosion can be reduced by
vegetating all disturbed areas and installing water-
control structures, such as culverts, broad-based dips,
water bars, and outsloped roads.
The capability subclass is Vie. Based on yellow-
poplar as the indicator species, the woodland ordination

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 211 .0500, mitigation
Division of Water Quality far projects involving greater may be required by the NC
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to1 near feet of total impacts to nsrentr;
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
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.

Dear Ms. Newton:
Jonathan Creek Township
I am attaching an application for a Section 404 General Permit to install 3 lines of
CM Pipe in Jaynes Cove Branch, a tributary of Jonathan Creek.
These pipes are proposed to be installed to provide access to the development of 30
acres of land for residential development. Pipe No. 1 is proposed for a 48" CM Pipe,
but may be changed to an arch pipe to improve the grade line of the access road. Pipe
No. 2 and pipe No. 3 are proposed for installation in tributaries of this small stream.
At this time all three locations are live streams.
This 30 acre tract is a portion of the Brannon Forest Subdivision. The total area of
the subdivision is approximately 300 acres and part of the development has been
under way for several years. This proposed section will be contained within the 30
acres shown on the plan sheet.
I am attaching a cross-section view, ground profile and proposed grade line for the
No. 1 pipe as it involves constructing a fill within the roadway to install the proposed
pipe. The other two pipes will simply be installed at existing grade with minor
grading required.
Please review this proposal and if additional information is required, contact James E.
Roberts, 545 Ora Circle, Waynesville, N.C. 28786. (828-452-0408)
Sincerely.
