Subject: RE: Request for Additional Information - Beaucatcher Mountain Greenway Trail - DWR
2016-1263 - Buncombe County
All,
I met Owen at the site last week. It was very helpful to see the site in person. Thank you for the additional information
submitted on March 24, 2017. There are still a few details that need to be addressed.
Based on our site visit last week and field work completed by Owen, impact sites S2, S3, S4, and S5 involve jurisdictional
streams (i.e. at least intermittent flow). DWR is good with the proposed plan for S2 and S5. Additional clarification is
needed for S3 and S4.
The proposed plan for S3 is to divert flows approximately 150 -linear feet along the greenway trail and discharge the flow
via an 18 -inch pipe. The proposed flow diversion would dry up the baseflow in the existing receiving channel of S3 for an
undermined length of channel. The permit application impact table would need to include the dewatered channel
length as an impact if this proposed drainage plan is maintained. Please either update the impact table or modify the
proposed plan.
Same comment for the proposed flow diversion at S4.
Contact me anytime if you have questions or concerns.

Zan,
Attached is a response letter outlining the additional information requested for the Beaucatcher Mountain Greenway
Trail project (DWR-2016-1263).
Responses to each of the comments is provided, and any associated files are provided via a Sharefile site and sorted into
folders for each response as noted.
Thank you for the extended time to address these items and please feel free to give Graham or I a call with additional
questions/comments.
Of note, I have signed the letter for Graham, as he had to be out of the office this week for the birth of his first child. I

Item number 3 has been addressed below. Please provide a narrative and associated plan and detail sheets to address
the other request for additional information items.
I will extend the deadline until March 24, 2017. If all of the requested information is not received by the new deadline,
the DWR will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned. The return of this project will necessitate
reapplication to the DWR for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee.
Contact me anytime if you have questions or concerns.

The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has performed a review of a 401 Water Quality Certification application dated
December 7, 2016 and received by DWR on December 21, 2016 for the above referenced project. The DWR has
determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until the following
information is received:
1. No plan sheets were submitted with the permit application to show the extent of the proposed fill and culvert
impacts in jurisdictional waters. The attached Figure 1 was the only figure included with the permit
application. Please provide additional details and plan sheets that illustrate existing pipe lengths and proposed
pipe lengths. Include construction details illustrating how the proposed culverts will meet the aquatic passage
condition #13 of GC 3890.
2. Explain how condition number 6 of the GC 3890 "work in the dry' will be met.
3. The attached Figure 1 illustrates additional potential stream impacts to streams identified as "Lidar Streams" on
the map. Please explain and provide documentation on whether or not these additional streams are
intermittent or perennial.
4. Please provide a typical construction detail for the proposed permanent wetland fill area (W1) including fill
widths and heights, side slopes, and materials to be used.
5. Please provide documentation of the City of Asheville's approval of a stormwater management plan (SMP) for
this project by providing EITHER:
- A valid approval letter and one copy of the approved SMP, or
- One set of stormwater plan details and calculations stamped as "Approved" by the City of Asheville.
Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502, the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the proper
consideration of the application. If all of the requested information is not received within 45 calendar days of receipt of
this email, the DWR will be unable to approve the application and it will be returned. The return of this project will
necessitate reapplication to the DWR for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee.
