SUBJECT: Review of an application by Town of Jefferson Wastewater Treatment Plant, Naked Creek, Ashe
County
The Town of Jefferson is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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 Town of Jefferson is being required to drain a small wetland on prior converted land to provide a new well site
and possibly to accommodate wastewater treatment plant expansion in the future.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the range of trout in the project area, we
do not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters supporting trout. Therefore, we do not object to
the project as proposed providing sediment and erosion controls are implemented and providing that stormwater
management will be provided if the wastewater plant expands.
As mitigation for these impacts, the twenty-five foot stream buffers associated with the site along Naked Creek
should be maintained and/or restored to undisturbed natural conditions. Stream banks can 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 annual 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.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Church:
May 11, 2006
DWQ# 06-0561
Ashe County
The Town of Jefferson has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill
in, or otherwise impact, 20 linear feet of perennial stream and 0.4 acre of wetlands in order to install a public
water supply well within the boundaries of the town's wastewater treatment facility located on N. C. Highway
88 in Jefferson, Ashe County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) on April 3, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://www.newaterquality.org/wetlands.htmi. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other
applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to)
those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the
General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this
project (now or in the future) exceeds one acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear
feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h). For this approval
to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional
conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B.0211 Fresh Surface Water Quality
Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
3. 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 measures in wetlands or waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the
North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
4. No waste, spoils, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
5. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the
normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth
sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream
bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in
destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing.
6. All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct
stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize
water quality impacts. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in
contact with surface waters until it has cured. If any stormwater must be collected for discharge into a
stream channel, it shall not enter the stream as a point source, but shall be slowed and discharged as
sheet flow prior to entering the riparian buffer on either side of the stream.
Mr. Tim Church

May 11, 2006
7. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
This certificate should be returned to the Wetlands/401 Certification Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality at the address listed on the form.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

VIIL 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
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
hl!p://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
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.
See attachment A
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

The general area affected by this project is approximately 240'X 90' as shown on the accompanying map.
The actual "wet" area is in a crescent-shape that is located at the base of a hillside and is smaller in area
than the rectangle shown on the map. It has been determined that 5.5' of fall in elevation exists from the
proposed ditch that would collect the source of the groundwater to the stream bed of Naked Creek where
the drainage would occur.
Mitigation Plan
Drainage would be accomplished via a typical french drain system using 6" diameter perforated
corrugated pipe surrounded by a bed and cover of washed stone. The ditch would then be covered using
the original excavated material. A ground cover would be established with seed rye and fescue. In the
area of the stream bank affected by excavation, a silt fence would be installed 50' above and below the
point of drainage to the creek. No other grading or filling would be required by the project.
Length of Stream Affected
Less than 50 feet

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
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.
