MEMORANDUM
TO: Steve Chapin, Permit Coordinator
Asheville Office, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: March 9, 2006
SUBJECT: Stabilization 404 Permit Applications for National Committee for the New River:
• Winding Creek Development (200'), Goshen Creek, Watauga County
• Joseph E. Gillis 370'), North Fork New River, Ashe County
• Alan Hanson (50'), Obids Creek, Ashe County
• Hidden Mountain (931'), North Fork New River, Ashe County
The National Committee for the New River is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to obtain 404 permits from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for the referenced stabilization projects. The NCWRC has reviewed
information provided by the applicant and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat
values of the project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the
Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). - -
The projects proposed are to stabilize eroding banks within the New River basin through bank
sloping, fiber matting, seeding and live staking. The Winding Creek Development site on
Goshen Creek is in an area that supports wild brook trout. Brown and rainbow trout are present
downstream. The remaining sites have substantial smallmouth bass populations and some trout.
The New River is a National Scenic River corridor. Kanawha minnow, Phenacobius teretulus
(NCSC, FSC); Kanawha darter, Etheostoma kanawhae (NCSR); Seep mudalia, Leptoxis dilatata,
(NCT); green floater, Lasmigona subviridis (NCE, FSC); tonguetied minnow, Exoglossum
laurae (NCSR); sharpnose darter, Percina oxyrhynchus (NCSC); spike, Elliptio dilatata
(NCSC); and crayfish on the NC Watch List, New River crayfish, Cambarus chasmodactylus;
and Orconectes cristavarius, no common name, all occur in the South Fork New River system.

Telephone: [phone] - Fag: [phone]
• National Committee for the New River -Page 2 - March 9, 2006
The North Fork supports the seep mudalia, Leptoxis dilatata, (NCT); green floater, Lasmigona
subviridis (NCE, FSC); and spike, Elliptio dilatata (NCSC).
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the project areas, we
will not object to the projects providing the following non-prioritized conditions are
implemented:
1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are
prohibited at the Goshen Creek site during the trout spawning seasons of October 15
through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
2. Although smallmouth bass are present, no smallmouth bass moratorium will be
requested provided work at all sites will be accomplished with sediment and erosion
control measures that adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds (15A
NCAC 4B .0124). Preferably, in channel activities will not occur during the fish
spawning season of May 1 through July 15.
3. Where work cannot be completed within a single day, the work should be
accomplished in small stages with each stage being seeded and stabilized before
moving to the next stage.
4. To the maximum extent possible, heavy equipment should be operated from the bank
rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the
likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
5. If heavy equipment must work in the water, the equipment must be new or low hour
and well maintained. Spill containment equipment must be readily available on the
work site to contain any spillage.
6. Only autochthonous plants should be used for streambank stabilization. Banks should
be revegetated with silky dogwood, rhododendron, dog hobble, red maple, silky
willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, or other native woody species to provide
long term bank stability and stream shading. Note that silky dogwood, silky willow
and black willow can be planted as live stakes collected during the dormant growing
season. Cuttings should be randomly planted and done on four (4) foot centers from
the waters edge to the top of the bank, Trees should be planted on ten (10) to twelve
(12) foot centers. Stream banks in these areas should also be seeded with an
approved wetland seed mix or temporary crop of wheat or rye.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

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. -
Page 9 of l2
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/strm,gide.html.

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
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.
