6. Stream Relocation/Stabilization (Mitigation) (Final Plan Needed)
Before any of the impacts authorized in this Certification occur, you must provide
and receive written approval from this Office for a final stream relocation and/or
stabilization plan. The plan must include designs and specifications that meet the
definition of stream restoration (or enhancement if no relocation is proposed)
according to the latest version of the Internal Technical Guide for Stream Work in
North Carolina (available at
http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.htm1). The stream and buffer
relocation must be constructed, maintained, and monitored according to the
plans approved by this Office. Any repairs or adjustments to the site must be
made according to the approved plans or must receive written approval from this
Office to make the repairs or adjustments. The relocated stream must be
preserved in perpetuity by use of a conservation easement or other similar
mechanism as part of the approved plans.
You are required to mitigate for impacts through protected riparian buffers. The
required area of mitigation to compensate for impacts to the protected riparian
buffers are 50 foot buffers on the West Fork of the Tuckesiegee River, 30 foot
buffers on Grassy Creek and 30 foot buffers on all other streams on this property.
The following preservation is approved in relation to this project and must be
protected under the above provisions:

Stream Preservation: 24,343 linear feet
Stream / Wetland Buffer Preservation: 32.47 acres
Stream Restoration: 220 linear feet
Wetland Preservation: 0.196 acres
A. Deed Restrictions - Deed restrictions or similar mechanisms shall be
placed on the lot to assure compliance with the conditions of this variance
,approval. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any
buffers approved for impact under this Minor Variance. The Deed
Restrictions shall include the following paragraph.
"The areas shown on the recorded plat as Riparian Buffer Protection
Areas shall be maintained in perpetuity in their natural or mitigated
condition. No person or entity shall fill, grade, excavate, or perform any
other land disturbing activities; nor cut, remove, or harm any vegetation;
nor construct any structures or add any additional impervious surfaces, on
such protected areas without written authorization from the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) or compliance with the Riparian Buffer Protection
Rule (15A NCAC 46 .0125). This covenant is intended to ensure
continued compliance with authorizations issued by the State of North
Carolina, Division of Water Quality, DWQ Project Number 03-1030, and
therefore may be enforced by the State of North Carolina. This covenant
is to run with the land, and shall be binding on the Owner, and all parties
claiming under it."
B. Riparian Buffer Protection Areas - The "Riparian Buffer Protection Areas"
shall include all retained riparian buffers protected under 15A NCAC 02B
.0233 and the "Additional Buffer Preservation Area" identified on page 3 or
the provided cover letter within your impact request.
7. Diffuse Flow
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained
as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers
such that it will not re-concentrate before discharging into a stream. If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered
to remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
8. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction
corridor within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be
clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) for
the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer, wetland or water
prior to any land disturbing activities.
T & T Properties

March 22, 2006
9. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 10 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be
exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 2B. .0200. Appropriate sediment and
erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard. Daily monitoring
by a NC certified lab must be performed on a daily basis during culvert
installation. The samples must be taken a midpoint during each installation while
active'installation is occurring and sampling must follow approved protocols.
10. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters
to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources or locally delegated program has released the project.
11. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the
Division of Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and
sedimentation control program, an NPDES General stormwater permit
(NCG010000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the project. This
General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is
covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or
more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation
control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are
required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be found at
http.-Ah2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm.
12. Trout Moratorium
The stream is a Class B Trout Waters. In order to protect downstream uses for
Class B Trout Waters a requirement of this Certification is that any additional
work conducted within the stream may not occur between the dates of October
15 through April 15.
T & T Properties
Page 6 of 6
March 22, 2006
13. Deed Restrictions
Deed restrictions or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained
jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure
compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall
be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved
for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate.
14. Temporary Fills
All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned
to the original grade, including each stream's original cross sectional dimensions,
planform pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile after construction is
complete or within 6 months of the establishment of the crossing, which ever is
sooner, and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation
(except for the maintenance areas of permanent utility crossings) and restored to
prevent erosion. If the crossings are not completely removed and restored as
described above within the specified time above, additional written approval from
this Office must be obtained to modify this condition.
15. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the
original stream profiles are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the
cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) must be maintained
above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be designed and
installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the
streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate
stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner,
the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or
erosion of the stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream
dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal
profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Therefore,
you must provide plans with adequate details that indicate that the current stability
of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You must receive written approval
from this Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is installed. Culvert(s)
must be installed according to approved plans.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank
stabilization techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or
other bank hardening methods. If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in
the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality.

Dear Ms. Karoly:
The purpose of this letter is to request written authorization for an additional 40
linear feet of stream channel impacts by T&T Properties under Nationwide Permits
39 and North Carolina General 401 Water Quality Certification 3402 for the
project known as Water Dance/River Rock in Jackson County, North Carolina. The
developer has already received approval for impacts on the site totaling 260 linear
feet (Corps Action ID 200531580 / DWQ Project # 05-0596). This permit
application is requesting impacts for 2 new road crossings and it reduces impact at
two previously permitted road crossings. These crossings are in a new section of
the WaterDance development known as River Rock. Existing roads and road
crossings were used to minimize impacts, and pipes will be upsized to handle the
flow regimes present in these channels.
This permit also requests approval from DWQ of a small impoundment previously
requested and not approved by DWQ (this impoundment was approved by USACE).
Enclosed with this application is a letter from Richard Frady of the Cullowhee Fire
Department requesting that a dry hydrant be installed in the pond. The pond will
supply grater to the Cullowhee Fire Department in the event of a fire. It is the
opinion of Mr. Frady that the additional source of water will provide a benefit to
public safety and the welfare of the community.

The attached USGS topographical maps show the location of the project. Impacts
are shown on the site plan map. Hard channel impacts will total 250 linear feet
under Nationwide Permit 39/GC 3402 for the construction of nine permanent road
crossings to facilitate access to the property. Channel flooding for the
construction of a small pond to be used by the Cullowhee Fire Department will total
50 linear feet under Nationwide Permit 391GC 3402.
Mitigation is proposed in the form of stream restoration of 220 linear feet of on
site stream channel, and preservation of buffers along 24,303 feet of remaining
channel. This is 1:1 compensatory mitigation for 220 feet of impacts and 300:1
preservation for the remaining 80 linear feet of impact. Six previously existing
road crossings on old logging roads on site, totaling 220 linear feet, have been
removed and restored according to the Channel Restoration Plan outlined in the
original permit. Restoration efforts have been completed at all six locations and
are documented in the enclosed Channel Restoration Completion Notification. Also
included in that letter are the restrictive covenants that protect the remaining
streams, wetlands, and buffers.
The following is a summary of the jurisdictional stream and wetland impacts and
proposed mitigation.

Attention: Traverse Foster
Dear Traverse Foster,
Thank you for taking time to meet with us last week at Waterdance. It was
good to share your desire to have a safe community both at the development
and the surrounding community.
The water point we looked at will be a great benefit for the public safety and
the general welfare of the public in the event there is a fire in the area.
With this letter we the Cullowhee Fire Department is requesting a dry
hydrant be installed in the pond with the access we discussed, and any other
location that you think would make a good water source be made accessible
(not all will need a dry hydrant just enough room to get a pumper truck near
enough to draft water).
If you have any questions or need additional information please call.
Again thank you for your interest in our community.
Thank you,
Richard Frady

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 USACE.
7. Pond Creation
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.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): aesthetic, trout pond
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: forested
Size of watershed draining 'to pond: 450 acres Expected pond surface area: 2409 say. ft.
YII. Impact Justification (Avoi laiace and Mnnimizat ou)
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 Rivas developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.Hard impacts are for road
construction. and are necessary to access high ground for development of the site. Existing roads
.-nd road crossings have been used to minimize impacts. The impoundment is proposed as an
aesthetic }rout rond it is *,e oniv proposed impoundment on the site. There is no practible
alternative on site for such an amenity as another location would require hard impacts for
construction of a dam and -Mould also impede aquatic passage. This is the most logical and least
Page 5 0 f 9
impactive lccation using the existing_road crossing as the dam. and placing the pond below a
waterfall ,vhere aquatic passage is already ;Zaturally impeded. No practibie alternatives for a
coed with minimal impact exist on site.
Vit,11. i`V idgation
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.ne.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type mid amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Mitigation will take place on site and will be a combination of channel restoration and buffer
and stream preservation. The miti Ration elan is attached to the original permit, which shows
restoration sites. On site stream restoration is comnle: enclosed is a the Stream Restoration
Comnletion I?lotification. Also attached are the restrictive covenants which establish 'a. 30

The purpose of this letter is to request written authorization for an additional 40
linear feet of stream channel impacts by T&T Properties under Nationwide Permits
39 and North Carolina General 401 Water Quality Certification 3402 for the
project known as WaterDance/River Rock in Jackson County, North Carolina. The
developer has already received approval for impacts on the site totaling 260 linear
f eet (Corps Action ID 200531580 / DWQ Project # 05-0596). This permit
application is requesting impacts for 2 new road crossings and it reduces impact at
two previously permitted road crossings. These crossings are in a new section of
the WaterDance development known as River Rock. Existing reads and road
crossings were used to minimize impacts, and pipes will be upsized to handle the
flow regimes present in these channels.
This permit also requests approval from DWQ of a small impoundment previously
requested and not approved by DWQ (this impoundment was approved by USACE).
Enclosed with this application is a letter from Richard Frady of the Cullowhee Fire
Department requesting that a dry hydrant be installed in the pond. The pond will
supply water to the Cullowhee Fire Department in the event of a f ire. It is the
opinion of Mr. Frady that the additional source of water will provide a benefit to
public safety and the welfare' of the community.

The attached USGS topographical maps show the location of the project. Impacts
are shown on the site plan map. Hard channel impacts will total 250 linear feet
under Nationwide Permit 391CC 3402 for the construction of nine permanent road
crossings to facilitate access to the property. Channel flooding for the
construction of a small pond to be used by the Cullowhee Fire Department will total
50 linear feet under Nationwide Permit 391GC 3402.
Mitigation is proposed in the form of stream restoration of 220 linear feet of on
site stream channel, and preservation of buffers along 24,303 feet of remaining
channel. This is 1:1 compensatory mitigation for 220 feet of impacts and 300:1
preservation for the remaining 30 linear feet of impact. Six previously existing
road crossings on old logging roads on site, totaling 220 linear feet, have been
removed and restored according to the Channel Restoration Plan outlined in the
original permit. Restoration efforts have been completed at all six locations and
are documented in the enclosed Channel Restoration Completion Notification. Also
included in that letter are the restrictive covenants that protect the remaining
streams, wetlands, and buffers.
The following is a summary of the jurisdictional stream and wetland impacts and
proposed mitigation:

Attention: Traverse Foster
Dear Traverse Foster,
Thank you for taking time to meet with us last week at Waterdance. It was
good to share your desire to have a safe community both at the development
and the surrounding community.
The water point we looked at will be a great benefit for the public safety and
the general welfare of the public in the event there is a fire in the area.
With this letter we the Cullowhee Fire Department is requesting a dry
hydrant be installed in the pond with the access we discussed, and any other
location that you think would make a good water source be made accessible
(not all will need a dry hydrant just enough room to get a pumper truck near
enough to draft water).
If you have any questions or need additional information please call.
Again thank you for your interest in our community.
Thank you,
Richard Frady

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.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: All hard impacts will result from
vining/fiiling the stream channel for road crossings; the majority occur at previously existing
road crossings The small pond resulted from instillation of a riser pine to one of the culverts at

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 USACE.
7. Pond Creation
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/embanlcment, excavation, installation of

installing a riser pine on the road culvert to dam un the area unsream or the road/dam.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthretic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): aesthetic, trout pond
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: forested
Size of watershed draining to pond: 450 acres Expected pond surface area: 2439 soft.
YID. Impact Justificaflon (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.Hard impacts are for road
construction and are necessary to access high round for development of the site. Existing roads
and road crossings have been used to minimize impacts. The impoundment is proposed as an
aesthet;c trout nond it is the only proposed impoundment on the site. There is no cractible
alternative on site for such an amenity as another location would require hard impacts for
construction of a dam and would also impede aquatic passage. This is the most logical and least
page 5oc9
impactive location using the existing road crossing as the dam, and placing the pond below a
waterfall,where .aquatic passage is already naturally impeded. No nractible alternatives for a
pond with minimal impact exist on site.
VIM I`v W-ation
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.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
klitigation =grill take place on site and will be a combination of channel restoration and buffer
and stream preservation. The mitigation plan is attached to the original permit, which shows
restoration sites. Cn site stream restoration is complex enclosed is a the Stream Restoration
Comoletien Notification. Also attached are the restrictive covenants which establish a 30
foot buffer of no disturbance on all remaining streams ans wetlands.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that 'they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
