Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. N/A 8. 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/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: VII. Impact Justification (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. The 95-ft impact area lies within a proposed fill zone and to implement the planned future commercial development. Re-direction of the existing unnamed tributary is necessary. Redirection will provide minimum impact from future development. 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 12 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. 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. Based on the minimal amount (95) of open water impact, no mitigation is believed to be required on this project. 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 (919) 715-0476 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.

The project site is delineated on the enclosed Vicinity Map. 2) This tributary has a springhead enclosed in a concrete box approximately 20' upstream from the beginning of the proposed new route. Two existing 10" plastic corrugated pipes and one 16" corrugated metal pipe culvert from the adjacent property deposit storm water into the tributary. From the springhead upstream, the existing tributary runs approximately 95-ft. through an undisturbed wooded slope populated by trees, shrubs and vegetation common to the surrounding, and on to an open commercial site with only scattered grasses, and into an existing 16" culvert. From our observation, this tributary appears to be a stable aquatic/vegetative habitat. We believe that this tributary would not be deemed a wetlands area based upon our field observations. No swamp grass, invertebrates or fish of any sort were noted during our field observations. Based upon these factors, we feel that the impact on this tributary by the work proposed herein, and as detailed on the accompanying drawings, would be minimal and pose no significant detrimental affects to the tributary's overall health. We, therefore, believe that no tributary mitigation would be required. 3) Ronnie Dillard Construction has been selected as the Contractor to perform the work. The equipment to be utilized for excavation and installation for all of the proposed work, as described herein, is still unknown, however, in general, it is anticipated that all work will be performed with a Trackhoe. In addition, a Power Seeder and Hay Blower will be utilized. Pangaea Development Services "COMMERCIAL 7.58AC" PROPOSED WORK DESCRIPTION The proposed work entails the redirection of a portion of an un-named tributary to facilitate the future removal of an existing 16" pipe which is currently being used to direct the existing unnamed tributary diagonally across the site. The work will also include the backfilling\cover-up of that portion of said existing tributary that is being redirected PROPOSED LAND USE DESCRIPTION This request is being made to allow for future commercial development of the site. The redirection is needed in order to facilitate the creation of level site pads. Note: A separate Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan shall be prepared and submitted to NCDENR for approval and implementation in order to comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control act of 1973 for all future work to be performed on this site.

I? . - 8Tt!.. I?TIER 6Y&W This letter addresses concerns and questions outlined in Mr. Roger C. Edwards's letter of October 6, 2006, requesting additional information, and our conversation of October 13, 2006. Please find enclosed the following information: ? (1) Copy of USACE 404 Permit #SAW-2006-32540-320 (Nationwide Permit #39) for the tributary relocation (only). ? (1) Letter and Certificate of Plan Approval from NCDENR (CHERO-2007-003) for the Erosion Control Plan for the 7.58 ac. Commercial Development (only). ? (1) One copy of the approved Erosion Control Plan for same. In addition, I am providing the following comments and replies per your request for additional information. The following correlate with the Item No.'s outlined in your letter dated, October6, 2006: Pangaea Development Services As submitted originally, the USACE permit application outlined 95' of open tributary which emptied into a degraded culvert comprised of corrugated and concrete pipe of approximately 150' in length. The tributary and the culvert(s) ran diagonally across the property terminating at a point of discharge into the Department of Transportation storm drainage ditch adjacent to the site entrance, and opposite an existing D.O.T cross drain. The original overall impact was stated as being 450'. Upon subsequent discussion with the USACE, the length was revised to indicate an impact of only 95', by relocation of the open tributary to the easterly side of the property. It was deemed that relocation of the tributary and abandoning the existing 150' culvert would be a more feasible and ecologically friendly solution. Based on this significantly reduced impact, we believe that it would no longer be subject to the requirements for mitigation. This alternative was submitted, and subsequently approved by the USACE under action SAW-2006-32540-320, Section 404 and Nationwide Permit No. 39. As such, we believe that this satisfies the requirement of 15A NCAC 02H .506 (f). 2. The tributary relocation was considered an individual project in and of itself, separate from the overall site development, which the design of had not been finalized at the time the USACE 404 permit application was submitted. While the USACE permit application was being processed and approved, an Erosion and Sedimentation Erosion Control plan was prepared and submitted to the NCDENR (see enclosed letter, permit and plans) we believe that this should adequately address any concerns and/or questions of storm water runoff and erosion control measures. 3. The overall 7.58 acre site is equipped with a monitoring rain gage, inspection report forms, a copy of the approved erosion control plans and the associated permits. They shall remain on- site for the duration of construction and development. We believe that this will satisfy DWQ's requirement for monitoring and subsequent success criteria. Also note that at the time that the original permit was filed with NCDWQ, a fee of $475.00 was included with the application based on the originally stated impact of 450'.

Under Section VI of your submitted application, you indicate that a total of 450 linear feet of streams will be relocated and culverted. Clarification of the total impacts and relocations must be included in Section III. 10. 3. Proposed Impacts Under Section VI 1 of your submitted application, you have neglected to provide a written description of the proposed impacts. A complete and thoughtful discussion of the proposed impacts must be included as part of your application. 4. Impact Justification ,(Avoidance and Minimization) Under Section VII of your application you did not provide a "justification" for the impacts as requested within this section. A description of the impacts is not a "justification" of impacts. Your "justification" must include a description as to how impacts were avoided or minimized in the layout of the development of this site. 5. Mitigation Under Section VIII 1 of your submitted application, you state that no mitigation is required. Under the first paragraph of the instructions in this section, it is stated that mitigation may be required for all impacts incurred in a project, which exceeds 150 linear feet of total impacts. As you have previously stated that there will be 450 linear feet of impacts associated with this project, mitigation (and possibly an Individual Permit Application) is required. As there are now site plans for the development of this site, it is difficult for the Division of Water Quality to determine the need for these impacts. There is no mechanism for impacts related to speculative development in the current permitting scheme. Please respond within ten business days of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing and to Ms. Cyndi Karoly of the DWQ 401 Central Office. If we do not hear from you within ten business days, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. Rick Norton Page 3 of 3 June 6, 2006 This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this time) by the DWQ.

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 12 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.

Applicant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.) Page 12 of 12 PROPOSED 16" CULVERT INSTALLATION PROPOSED IMPACTS TO WATERS/STREAMS AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK 1) This scope of this proposed project encompasses the installation of a 16" diameter x 200' long section of culvert in order to redirect an existing tributary(un-named by the North Carolina Department of Water Quality) which is part of the Hiawassee Water Basin, and is located in Cherokee County, NC. The project site is delineated on the enclosed Vicinity Map. 2) This tributary has a springhead in a concrete box upstream approximately 20' from the proposed culvert inlet. Two existing 8" plastic corrugated pipes and one 16" corrugated metal pipe culvert on the adjacent property deposit storm water into the tributary. There is an existing 36" corrugated metal pipe DOT storm drain outlet approximately 10' easterly of the proposed culvert outlet. From the springhead upstream, the existing tributary runs through an undisturbed wooded slope populated by trees, shrubs and vegetation common to the surrounding, and on to an open commercial site with only scattered grasses, and into an existing 16" culvert. From our observation, this tributary appears to be a stable aquatic/vegetative habitat. We believe that this tributary would not be deemed a wetlands area based upon our field observations. No swamp grass, invertebrates or fish of any sort were noted during our field observations. Based upon these factors, we feel that the impact on this tributary by the work proposed herein, and as detailed on the accompanying drawings, would be minimal and pose no significant detrimental affects to the tributary's overall health. We, therefore, believe that no tributary mitigation would be required. 3) The area of the proposed culvert installation is detailed on the enclosed photographs. Temporary re-routing of the tributary will be accomplished by the use of a bypass pumping system as detailed below and as outlined on Drawing No. 002. 4) Approximately 200 feet downstream (westerly) from the proposed culvert outlet is a 36" corrugated metal pipe culvert with a concrete end wall that was previously installed by the NC DOT during the course of US Hwy. 19/74/64/129 improvements. The highway is currently a four-lane facility. The culverts run from its inlet on the southerly side of the highway to some point on the northerly side of said highway. 5) The existing 16" diameter culvert (see #2, above) is being utilized to direct the tributary's flow northwesterly (underground) to a point southeasterly of the above referenced NCDOT 36" culvert. This existing 16" culvert will be deactivated Pangaea Development Services during the new culvert installation, and will be removed in the future to facilitate commercial development of the site. 6) The equipment to be utilized for excavation and installation for all of the proposed work, as described herein, is still unknown, as a Contractor has not yet been selected to perform the work. However, in general, it is anticipated that all work will be performed with a Trackhoe. In addition, a Power Seeder and Hay Blower will be utilized. 7) It is proposed that by-pass pumping be utilized to provide the necessary de- watering and to divert any water coming from the upstream portion of the tributary and the off site storm drains. The inlet pipe for the by-pass pumping shall be placed in the existing tributary, between the pipe outlets, and the proposed permanent coffer dam. The by-pass pumping unit shall be capable of receiving and discharging any and all waters discharged from the aforementioned tributary, and culverts. The coffer dam shall be constructed and lined with a geosynthetic membrane to minimize the release of any disturbed sedimentation from it. Once the by-pass pumping and the coffer dam have been placed into service, the excavation work on the culvert installation can begin. In doing so, any upstream flow shall be redirected by the pass pumping operation, and thus will provide a no-flow, dewatered condition for excavation and culvert installation purposes. 8) Materials excavated to facilitate the culvert installation shall be placed in an area an adequate distance away from the tributary to prevent it from re-entering the tributary. This excavated material may be utilized for backfill around the new culvert based upon its consistency. It must be free of stones larger than 3" diameter, frozen lumps, highly plastic clay, organic matter, corrosive material or other deleterious foreign materials. 9) The new proposed 200' long x 16" diameter culvert shall then be installed between the northern side of the coffer dam, and the southern side of the existing NC DOT storm drainage ditch. (see #2, above) 10) The banks shall be excavated to a depth of approximately 12 inches below the new culvert centerline grade to allow for the installation of the new 16" corrugated metal pipe (ASTM A929), and to allow the pipe to be properly embedded. The new culvert bed shall be prepared for a slope relative to the grade stakes previously placed on site at the excavation area based on field measurements of the existing natural slope. This is to insure that the existing tributary grade and slope are mimicked by the new culvert. 11) Upon completion of the excavation, uneven or rocky surfaces shall be leveled with fine granular fill to a depth of 6 inches prior to the placing of any culvert sections. Pangaea Development Services 12) All side walls of the excavated culvert area shall be verified to be stable. 13) A pipe sling shall be used to place each section of the new culvert into place. The culvert SHALL NOT be placed with a bucket and thumb setup on an excavator. Each section of the culvert shall be lowered into place and its corresponding slope/grade verified at each end to be equal to the aforementioned grade stakes and their relative elevations prior to the next section being placed and securely fastened to its predecessor. 14) Once all section have been placed and attached securely, the slope from inlet to outlet shall be verified to be correct prior to any backfilling operation. The trench shall then be backfilled in graduated levels of 6-12" lifts, each of which shall be individually compacted. The backfill shall also be compacted around the haunches to within 3 feet of each end of the culvert. The backfill will proceed until the top of the finished grade is a minimum of 2' above the top of the culvert and on a camber (raised "hump") to the surrounding grade. A temporary berm shall then be created at the limits of compacted fill (approximately -3 feet in from both inlet and outlet of the culvert) to prevent runoff of the fill from entering the tributary. 15) Following installation of the culvert, a stone dispersion apron shall be constructed at the downstream of the culvert outlet to reduce any potential increase of velocity in the existing storm drainage ditch. It shall consist of either clean-surface or native bank stone having a mean diameter of 6-9 inches as detailed on drawing No. 003 It shall be placed so as to adequately disperse any flow into the existing storm drainage ditch without causing scouring or undermining the existing ditch bottom or associated bank. 16) Once all work on the new culvert has been completed, a portion of the coffer dam shall be removed to allow all water to flow into the inlet end of the new culvert. Special care shall be taken to insure the complete deactivation of the existing tributary bed adjacent and down stream of the coffer dam. 17) Once this phase is completed, the by-pass pumping will be removed to allow the normal stream flow to pass through the new culvert. Natural flow shall then be verified through the new culvert. 18) The entire disturbed area shall then be seeded and covered with hay. Silt fencing shall be installed, as shown on Drawing No. 003, around the perimeter of the new culvert and dispersion apron to minimize any sediment runoff from entering the tributary. 19) All foreign materials shall then be removed from site and any natural rock utilized in the construction process redistributed Pangaea Development Services 20) The estimated construction schedule for this work is estimated to require (4) 9 hours days of work or less Pangaea Development Services "COMMERCIAL 7.58AC" PROPOSED WORK DESCRIPTION The proposed work included installation of a 200 foot corrugated metal pipe culvert to redirect a portion of an un-named tributary, and three storm drains to facilitate the removal of an existing 16" pipe (corrugated metal and corrugated pvc) which currently directs a portion of the existing tributary diagonally across the site. The work will also include the backfilling\cover-up of that portion of said tributary lying between the area of the aforementioned proposed culvert inlet and the existing culvert. PROPOSED LAND USE DESCRIPTION This request is being made to allow for future commercial development of the site. The redirection is needed in order to facilitate the creation of level site pads. Note: A separate Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan shall be prepared and submitted to NCDENR for approval and implementation in order to comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control act of 1973 for all future work to be performed on this site.

Applicant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.) Page 12 of 12 PROPOSED 16" CULVERT INSTALLATION PROPOSED IMPACTS TO WATERS/STREAMS AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK 1) This scope of this proposed project encompasses the installation of a 16" diameter x 200' long section of culvert in order to redirect an existing tributary(un-named by the North Carolina Department of Water Quality) which is part of the Hiawassee Water Basin, and is located in Cherokee County, NC. The project site is delineated on the enclosed Vicinity Map. 2) This tributary has a springhead in a concrete box upstream approximately 20' from the proposed culvert inlet. Two existing 8" plastic corrugated pipes and one 16" corrugated metal pipe culvert on the adjacent property deposit storm water into the tributary. There is an existing 36" corrugated metal pipe DOT storm drain outlet approximately 10' easterly of the proposed culvert outlet. From the springhead upstream, the existing tributary runs through an undisturbed wooded slope populated by trees, shrubs and vegetation common to the surrounding, and on to an open commercial site with only scattered grasses, and into an existing 16" culvert. From our observation, this tributary appears to be a stable aquatic/vegetative habitat. We believe that this tributary would not be deemed a wetlands area based upon our field observations. No swamp grass, invertebrates or fish of any sort were noted during our field observations. Based upon these factors, we feel that the impact on this tributary by the work proposed herein, and as detailed on the accompanying drawings, would be minimal and pose no significant detrimental affects to the tributary's overall health. We, therefore, believe that no tributary mitigation would be required. 3) The area of the proposed culvert installation is detailed on the enclosed photographs. Temporary re-routing of the tributary will be accomplished by the use of a bypass pumping system as detailed below and as outlined on Drawing No. 002. 4) Approximately 200 feet downstream (westerly) from the proposed culvert outlet is a 36" corrugated metal pipe culvert with a concrete end wall that was previously installed by the NC DOT during the course of US Hwy. 19/74/64/129 improvements. The highway is currently a four-lane facility. The culverts run from its inlet on the southerly side of the highway to some point on the northerly side of said highway. 5) The existing 16" diameter culvert (see #2, above) is being utilized to direct the tributary's flow northwesterly (underground) to a point southeasterly of the above referenced NCDOT 36" culvert. This existing 16" culvert will be deactivated Pangaea Development Services during the new culvert installation, and will be removed in the future to facilitate commercial development of the site. 6) The equipment to be utilized for excavation and installation for all of the proposed work, as described herein, is still unknown, as a Contractor has not yet been selected to perform the work. However, in general, it is anticipated that all work will be performed with a Trackhoe. In addition, a Power Seeder and Hay Blower will be utilized. 7) It is proposed that by-pass pumping be utilized to provide the necessary de- watering and to divert any water coming from the upstream portion of the tributary and the off site storm drains. The inlet pipe for the by-pass pumping shall be placed in the existing tributary, between the pipe outlets, and the proposed permanent coffer dam. The by-pass pumping unit shall be capable of receiving and discharging any and all waters discharged from the aforementioned tributary, and culverts. The coffer dam shall be constructed and lined with a geosynthetic membrane to minimize the release of any disturbed sedimentation from it. Once the by-pass pumping and the coffer dam have been placed into service, the excavation work on the culvert installation can begin. In doing so, any upstream flow shall be redirected by the pass pumping operation, and thus will provide a no-flow, dewatered condition for excavation and culvert installation purposes. 8) Materials excavated to facilitate the culvert installation shall be placed in an area an adequate distance away from the tributary to prevent it from re-entering the tributary. This excavated material may be utilized for backfill around the new culvert based upon its consistency. It must be free of stones larger than 3" diameter, frozen lumps, highly plastic clay, organic matter, corrosive material or other deleterious foreign materials. 9) The new proposed 200' long x 16" diameter culvert shall then be installed between the northern side of the coffer dam, and the southern side of the existing NC DOT storm drainage ditch. (see #2, above) 10) The banks shall be excavated to a depth of approximately 12 inches below the new culvert centerline grade to allow for the installation of the new 16" corrugated metal pipe (ASTM A929), and to allow the pipe to be properly embedded. The new culvert bed shall be prepared for a slope relative to the grade stakes previously placed on site at the excavation area based on field measurements of the existing natural slope. This is to insure that the existing tributary grade and slope are mimicked by the new culvert. 11) Upon completion of the excavation, uneven or rocky surfaces shall be leveled with fine granular fill to a depth of 6 inches prior to the placing of any culvert sections. Pangaea Development Services 12) All side walls of the excavated culvert area shall be verified to be stable. 13) A pipe sling shall be used to place each section of the new culvert into place. The culvert SHALL NOT be placed with a bucket and thumb setup on an excavator. Each section of the culvert shall be lowered into place and its corresponding slope/grade verified at each end to be equal to the aforementioned grade stakes and their relative elevations prior to the next section being placed and securely fastened to its predecessor. 14) Once all section have been placed and attached securely, the slope from inlet to outlet shall be verified to be correct prior to any backfilling operation. The trench shall then be backfilled in graduated levels of 6-12" lifts, each of which shall be individually compacted. The backfill shall also be compacted around the haunches to within 3 feet of each end of the culvert. The backfill will proceed until the top of the finished grade is a minimum of 2' above the top of the culvert and on a camber (raised "hump") to the surrounding grade. A temporary berm shall then be created at the limits of compacted fill (approximately -3 feet in from both inlet and outlet of the culvert) to prevent runoff of the fill from entering the tributary. 15) Following installation of the culvert, a stone dispersion apron shall be constructed at the downstream of the culvert outlet to reduce any potential increase of velocity in the existing storm drainage ditch. It shall consist of either clean-surface or native bank stone having a mean diameter of 6-9 inches as detailed on drawing No. 003 It shall be placed so as to adequately disperse any flow into the existing storm drainage ditch without causing scouring or undermining the existing ditch bottom or associated bank. 16) Once all work on the new culvert has been completed, a portion of the coffer dam shall be removed to allow all water to flow into the inlet end of the new culvert. Special care shall be taken to insure the complete deactivation of the existing tributary bed adjacent and down stream of the coffer dam. 17) Once this phase is completed, the by-pass pumping will be removed to allow the normal stream flow to pass through the new culvert. Natural flow shall then be verified through the new culvert. 18) The entire disturbed area shall then be seeded and covered with hay. Silt fencing shall be installed, as shown on Drawing No. 003, around the perimeter of the new culvert and dispersion apron to minimize any sediment runoff from entering the tributary. 19) All foreign materials shall then be removed from site and any natural rock utilized in the construction process redistributed Pangaea Development Services 20) The estimated construction schedule for this work is estimated to require (4) 9 hours days of work or less Pangaea Development Services "COMMERCIAL 7.58AC" PROPOSED WORK DESCRIPTION The proposed work included installation of a 200 foot corrugated metal pipe culvert to redirect a portion of an un-named tributary, and three storm drains to facilitate the removal of an existing 16" pipe (corrugated metal and corrugated pvc) which currently directs a portion of the existing tributary diagonally across the site. The work will also include the backfilling\cover-up of that portion of said tributary lying between the area of the aforementioned proposed culvert inlet and the existing culvert. PROPOSED LAND USE DESCRIPTION This request is being made to allow for future commercial development of the site. The redirection is needed in order to facilitate the creation of level site pads. Note: A separate Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan shall be prepared and submitted to NCDENR for approval and implementation in order to comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control act of 1973 for all future work to be performed on this site.

Applicant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.) Page 12 of 12 PROPOSED 16" CULVERT INSTALLATION PROPOSED IMPACTS TO WATERS/STREAMS AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK 1) This scope of this proposed project encompasses the installation of a 16" diameter x 200' long section of culvert in order to redirect an existing tributary(un-named by the North Carolina Department of Water Quality) which is part of the Hiawassee Water Basin, and is located in Cherokee County, NC. The project site is delineated on the enclosed Vicinity Map. 2) This tributary has a springhead in a concrete box upstream approximately 20' from the proposed culvert inlet. Two existing 8" plastic corrugated pipes and one 16" corrugated metal pipe culvert on the adjacent property deposit storm water into the tributary. There is an existing 36" corrugated metal pipe DOT storm drain outlet approximately 10' easterly of the proposed culvert outlet. From the springhead upstream, the existing tributary runs through an undisturbed wooded slope populated by trees, shrubs and vegetation common to the surrounding, and on to an open commercial site with only scattered grasses, and into an existing 16" culvert. From our observation, this tributary appears to be a stable aquatic/vegetative habitat. We believe that this tributary would not be deemed a wetlands area based upon our field observations. No swamp grass, invertebrates or fish of any sort were noted during our field observations. Based upon these factors, we feel that the impact on this tributary by the work proposed herein, and as detailed on the accompanying drawings, would be minimal and pose no significant detrimental affects to the tributary's overall health. We, therefore, believe that no tributary mitigation would be required. 3) The area of the proposed culvert installation is detailed on the enclosed photographs. Temporary re-routing of the tributary will be accomplished by the use of a bypass pumping system as detailed below and as outlined on Drawing No. 002. 4) Approximately 200 feet downstream (westerly) from the proposed culvert outlet is a 36" corrugated metal pipe culvert with a concrete end wall that was previously installed by the NC DOT during the course of US Hwy. 19/74/64/129 improvements. The highway is currently a four-lane facility. The culverts run from its inlet on the southerly side of the highway to some point on the northerly side of said highway. 5) The existing 16" diameter culvert (see #2, above) is being utilized to direct the tributary's flow northwesterly (underground) to a point southeasterly of the above referenced NCDOT 36" culvert. This existing 16" culvert will be deactivated Pangaea Development Services during the new culvert installation, and will be removed in the future to facilitate commercial development of the site. 6) The equipment to be utilized for excavation and installation for all of the proposed work, as described herein, is still unknown, as a Contractor has not yet been selected to perform the work. However, in general, it is anticipated that all work will be performed with a Trackhoe. In addition, a Power Seeder and Hay Blower will be utilized. 7) It is proposed that by-pass pumping be utilized to provide the necessary de- watering and to divert any water coming from the upstream portion of the tributary and the off site storm drains. The inlet pipe for the by-pass pumping shall be placed in the existing tributary, between the pipe outlets, and the proposed permanent coffer dam. The by-pass pumping unit shall be capable of receiving and discharging any and all waters discharged from the aforementioned tributary, and culverts. The coffer dam shall be constructed and lined with a geosynthetic membrane to minimize the release of any disturbed sedimentation from it. Once the by-pass pumping and the coffer dam have been placed into service, the excavation work on the culvert installation can begin. In doing so, any upstream flow shall be redirected by the pass pumping operation, and thus will provide a no-flow, dewatered condition for excavation and culvert installation purposes. 8) Materials excavated to facilitate the culvert installation shall be placed in an area an adequate distance away from the tributary to prevent it from re-entering the tributary. This excavated material may be utilized for backfill around the new culvert based upon its consistency. It must be free of stones larger than 3" diameter, frozen lumps, highly plastic clay, organic matter, corrosive material or other deleterious foreign materials. 9) The new proposed 200' long x 16" diameter culvert shall then be installed between the northern side of the coffer dam, and the southern side of the existing NC DOT storm drainage ditch. (see #2, above) 10) The banks shall be excavated to a depth of approximately 12 inches below the new culvert centerline grade to allow for the installation of the new 16" corrugated metal pipe (ASTM A929), and to allow the pipe to be properly embedded. The new culvert bed shall be prepared for a slope relative to the grade stakes previously placed on site at the excavation area based on field measurements of the existing natural slope. This is to insure that the existing tributary grade and slope are mimicked by the new culvert. 11) Upon completion of the excavation, uneven or rocky surfaces shall be leveled with fine granular fill to a depth of 6 inches prior to the placing of any culvert sections. Pangaea Development Services 12) All side walls of the excavated culvert area shall be verified to be stable. 13) A pipe sling shall be used to place each section of the new culvert into place. The culvert SHALL NOT be placed with a bucket and thumb setup on an excavator. Each section of the culvert shall be lowered into place and its corresponding slope/grade verified at each end to be equal to the aforementioned grade stakes and their relative elevations prior to the next section being placed and securely fastened to its predecessor. 14) Once all section have been placed and attached securely, the slope from inlet to outlet shall be verified to be correct prior to any backfilling operation. The trench shall then be backfilled in graduated levels of 6-12" lifts, each of which shall be individually compacted. The backfill shall also be compacted around the haunches to within 3 feet of each end of the culvert. The backf ill will proceed until the top of the finished grade is a minimum of 2' above the top of the culvert and on a camber (raised "hump") to the surrounding grade. A temporary berm shall then be created at the limits of compacted fill (approximately -3 feet in from both inlet and outlet of the culvert) to prevent runoff of the fill from entering the tributary. 15) Following installation of the culvert, a stone dispersion apron shall be constructed at the downstream of the culvert outlet to reduce any potential increase of velocity in the existing storm drainage ditch. It shall consist of either clean-surface or native bank stone having a mean diameter of 6-9 inches as detailed on drawing No. 003 It shall be placed so as to adequately disperse any flow into the existing storm drainage ditch without causing scouring or undermining the existing ditch bottom or associated bank. 16) Once all work on the new culvert has been completed, a portion of the coffer dam shall be removed to allow all water to flow into the inlet end of the new culvert. Special care shall be taken to insure the complete deactivation of the existing tributary bed adjacent and down stream of the coffer dam. 17) Once this phase is completed, the by-pass pumping will be removed to allow the normal stream flow to pass through the new culvert. Natural flow shall then be verified through the new culvert. 18) The entire disturbed area shall then be seeded and covered with hay. Silt fencing shall be installed, as shown on Drawing No. 003, around the perimeter of the new culvert and dispersion apron to minimize any sediment runoff from entering the tributary. 19) All foreign materials shall then be removed from site and any natural rock utilized in the construction process redistributed Pangaea Development Services 20) The estimated construction schedule for this work is estimated to require (4) 9 hours days of work or less Pangaea Development Services "COMMERCIAL 7.58AC" PROPOSED WORK DESCRIPTION The proposed work included installation of a 200 foot corrugated metal pipe culvert to redirect a portion of an un-named tributary, and three storm drains to facilitate the removal of an existing 16" pipe (corrugated metal and corrugated pvc) which currently directs a portion of the existing tributary diagonally across the site. The work will also include the backfilling\cover-up of that portion of said tributary lying between the area of the aforementioned proposed culvert inlet and the existing culvert. PROPOSED LAND USE DESCRIPTION This request is being made to allow for future commercial development of the site. The redirection is needed in order to facilitate the creation of level site pads. Note: A separate Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan shall be prepared and submitted to NCDENR for approval and implementation in order to comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control act of 1973 for all future work to be performed on this site.

Page 12 of 12 PROPOSED 16" CULVERT INSTALLATION PROPOSED IMPACTS TO WATERS/STREAMS AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK 1) This scope of this proposed project encompasses the installation of a 16" diameter x 200' long section of culvert in order to redirect an existing tributary(un-named by the North Carolina Department of Water Quality) which is part of the Hiawassee Water Basin, and is located in Cherokee County, NC. The project site is delineated on the enclosed Vicinity Map. 2) This tributary has a springhead in a concrete box upstream approximately 20' from the proposed culvert inlet. Two existing 8" plastic corrugated pipes and one 16" corrugated metal pipe culvert on the adjacent property deposit storm water into the tributary. There is an existing 36" corrugated metal pipe DOT storm drain outlet approximately 10' easterly of the proposed culvert outlet. From the springhead upstream, the existing tributary runs through an undisturbed wooded slope populated by trees, shrubs and vegetation common to the surrounding, and on to an open commercial site with only scattered grasses, and into an existing 16" culvert. From our observation, this tributary appears to be a stable aquatic/vegetative habitat. We believe that this tributary would not be deemed a wetlands area based upon our field observations. No swamp grass, invertebrates or fish of any sort were noted during our field observations. Based upon these factors, we feel that the impact on this tributary by the work proposed herein, and as detailed on the accompanying drawings, would be minimal and pose no significant detrimental affects to the tributary's overall health. We, therefore, believe that no tributary mitigation would be required. 3) The area of the proposed culvert installation is detailed on the enclosed photographs. Temporary re-routing of the tributary will be accomplished by the use of a bypass pumping system as detailed below and as outlined on Drawing No. 002. 4) Approximately 200 feet downstream (westerly) from the proposed culvert outlet is a 36" corrugated metal pipe culvert with a concrete end wall that was previously installed by the NC DOT during the course of US Hwy. 19/74/64/129 improvements. The highway is currently a four-lane facility. The culverts run from its inlet on the southerly side of the highway to some point on the northerly side of said highway. 5) The existing 16" diameter culvert (see #2, above) is being utilized to direct the tributary's flow northwesterly (underground) to a point southeasterly of the above referenced NCDOT 36" culvert. This existing 16" culvert will be deactivated Pangaea Development Services during the new culvert installation, and will be removed in the future to facilitate commercial development of the site. 6) The equipment to be utilized for excavation and installation for all of the proposed work, as described herein, is still unknown, as a Contractor has not yet been selected to perform the work. However, in general, it is anticipated that all work will be performed with a Trackhoe. In addition, a Power Seeder and Hay Blower will be utilized. 7) It is proposed that by-pass pumping be utilized to provide the necessary de- watering and to divert any water coming from the upstream portion of the tributary and the off site storm drains. The inlet pipe for the by-pass pumping shall be placed in the existing tributary, between the pipe outlets, and the proposed permanent coffer dam. The by-pass pumping unit shall be capable of receiving and discharging any and all waters discharged from the aforementioned tributary, and culverts. The coffer dam shall be constructed and lined with a geosynthetic membrane to minimize the release of any disturbed sedimentation from it. Once the by-pass pumping and the coffer dam have been placed into service, the excavation work on the culvert installation can begin. In doing so, any upstream flow shall be redirected by the pass pumping operation, and thus will provide a no-flow, dewatered condition for excavation and culvert installation purposes. 8) Materials excavated to facilitate the culvert installation shall be placed in an area an adequate distance away from the tributary to prevent it from re-entering the tributary. This excavated material may be utilized for backfill around the new culvert based upon its consistency. It must be free of stones larger than 3" diameter, frozen lumps, highly plastic clay, organic matter, corrosive material or other deleterious foreign materials. 9) The new proposed 200' long x 16" diameter culvert shall then be installed between the northern side of the coffer dam, and the southern side of the existing NC DOT storm drainage ditch. (see #2, above) 10) The banks shall be excavated to a depth of approximately 12 inches below the new culvert centerline grade to allow for the installation of the new 16" corrugated metal pipe (ASTM A929), and to allow the pipe to be properly embedded. The new culvert bed shall be prepared for a slope relative to the grade stakes previously placed on site at the excavation area based on field measurements of the existing natural slope. This is to insure that the existing tributary grade and slope are mimicked by the new culvert. 11) Upon completion of the excavation, uneven or rocky surfaces shall be leveled with fine granular fill to a depth of 6 inches prior to the placing of any culvert sections. Pangaea Development Services 12) All side walls of the excavated culvert area shall be verified to be stable. 13) A pipe sling shall be used to place each section of the new culvert into place. The culvert SHALL NOT be placed with a bucket and thumb setup on an excavator. Each section of the culvert shall be lowered into place and its corresponding slope/grade verified at each end to be equal to the aforementioned grade stakes and their relative elevations prior to the next section being placed and securely fastened to its predecessor. 14) Once all section have been placed and attached securely, the slope from inlet to outlet shall be verified to be correct prior to any backfilling operation. The trench shall then be backfilled in graduated levels of 6-12" lifts, each of which shall be individually compacted. The backfill shall also be compacted around the haunches to within 3 feet of each end of the culvert. The backfill will proceed until the top of the finished grade is a minimum of 2' above the top of the culvert and on a camber (raised "hump") to the surrounding grade. A temporary berm shall then be created at the limits of compacted fill (approximately -3 feet in from both inlet and outlet of the culvert) to prevent runoff of the fill from entering the tributary. 15) Following installation of the culvert, a stone dispersion apron shall be constructed at the downstream of the culvert outlet to reduce any potential increase of velocity in the existing storm drainage ditch. It shall consist of either clean-surface or native bank stone having a mean diameter of 6-9 inches as detailed on drawing No. 003 It shall be placed so as to adequately disperse any flow into the existing storm drainage ditch without causing scouring or undermining the existing ditch bottom or associated bank. 16) Once all work on the new culvert has been completed, a portion of the coffer dam shall be removed to allow all water to flow into the inlet end of the new culvert. Special care shall be taken to insure the complete deactivation of the existing tributary bed adjacent and down stream of the coffer dam. 17) Once this phase is completed, the by-pass pumping will be removed to allow the normal stream flow to pass through the new culvert. Natural flow shall then be verified through the new culvert. 18) The entire disturbed area shall then be seeded and covered with hay. Silt fencing shall be installed, as shown on Drawing No. 003, around the perimeter of the new culvert and dispersion apron to minimize any sediment runoff from entering the tributary. 19) All foreign materials shall then be removed from site and any natural rock utilized in the construction process redistributed Pangaea Development Services 20) The estimated construction schedule for this work is estimated to require (4) 9 hours days of work or less Pangaea Development Services "COMMERCIAL 7.58AC" PROPOSED WORK DESCRIPTION The proposed work included installation of a 200 foot corrugated metal pipe culvert to redirect a portion of an un-named tributary, and three storm drains to facilitate the removal of an existing 16" pipe (corrugated metal and corrugated pvc) which currently directs a portion of the existing tributary diagonally across the site. The work will also include the backfilling\cover-up of that portion of said tributary lying between the area of the aforementioned proposed culvert inlet and the existing culvert. PROPOSED LAND USE DESCRIPTION This request is being made to allow for future commercial development of the site. The redirection is needed in order to facilitate the creation of level site pads. Note: A separate Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan shall be prepared and submitted to NCDENR for approval and implementation in order to comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control act of 1973 for all future work to be performed on this site.

Applicant/Agent's Signature Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.) Page 12 of 12 PROPOSED 16" CULVERT INSTALLATION PROPOSED IMPACTS TO WATERS/STREAMS AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK 1) This scope of this proposed project encompasses the installation of a 16" diameter x 200' long section of culvert in order to redirect an existing tributary(un-named by the North Carolina Department of Water Quality) which is part of the Hiawassee Water Basin, and is located in Cherokee County, NC. The project site is delineated on the enclosed Vicinity Map. 2) This tributary has a springhead in a concrete box upstream approximately 20' from the proposed culvert inlet. Two existing 8" plastic corrugated pipes and one 16" corrugated metal pipe culvert on the adjacent property deposit storm water into the tributary. There is an existing 36" corrugated metal pipe DOT storm drain outlet approximately 10' easterly of the proposed culvert outlet. From the springhead upstream, the existing tributary runs through an undisturbed wooded slope populated by trees, shrubs and vegetation common to the surrounding, and on to an open commercial site with only scattered grasses, and into an existing 16" culvert. From our observation, this tributary appears to be a stable aquatic/vegetative habitat. We believe that this tributary would not be deemed a wetlands area based upon our field observations. No swamp grass, invertebrates or fish of any sort were noted during our field observations. Based upon these factors, we feel that the impact on this tributary by the work proposed herein, and as detailed on the accompanying drawings, would be minimal and pose no significant detrimental affects to the tributary's overall health. We, therefore, believe that no tributary mitigation would be required. 3) The area of the proposed culvert installation is detailed on the enclosed photographs. Temporary re-routing of the tributary will be accomplished by the use of a bypass pumping system as detailed below and as outlined on Drawing No. 002. 4) Approximately 200 feet downstream (westerly) from the proposed culvert outlet is a 36" corrugated metal pipe culvert with a concrete end wall that was previously installed by the NC DOT during the course of US Hwy. 19/74/64/129 improvements. The highway is currently a four-lane facility. The culverts run from its inlet on the southerly side of the highway to some point on the northerly side of said highway. 5) The existing 16" diameter culvert (see #2, above) is being utilized to direct the tributary's flow northwesterly (underground) to a point southeasterly of the above referenced NCDOT 36" culvert. This existing 16" culvert will be deactivated Pangaea Development Services during the new culvert installation, and will be removed in the future to facilitate commercial development of the site. 6) The equipment to be utilized for excavation and installation for all of the proposed work, as described herein, is still unknown, as a Contractor has not yet been selected to perform the work. However, in general, it is anticipated that all work will be performed with a Trackhoe. In addition, a Power Seeder and Hay Blower will be utilized. 7) It is proposed that by-pass pumping be utilized to provide the necessary de- watering and to divert any water coming from the upstream portion of the tributary and the off site storm drains. The inlet pipe for the by-pass pumping shall be placed in the existing tributary, between the pipe outlets, and the proposed permanent coffer dam. The by-pass pumping unit shall be capable of receiving and discharging any and all waters discharged from the aforementioned tributary, and culverts. The coffer dam shall be constructed and lined with a geosynthetic membrane to minimize the release of any disturbed sedimentation from it. Once the by-pass pumping and the coffer dam have been placed into service, the excavation work on the culvert installation can begin. In doing so, any upstream flow shall be redirected by the pass pumping operation, and thus will provide a no-flow, dewatered condition for excavation and culvert installation purposes. 8) Materials excavated to facilitate the culvert installation shall be placed in an area an adequate distance away from the tributary to prevent it from re-entering the tributary. This excavated material may be utilized for backfill around the new culvert based upon its consistency. It must be free of stones larger than 3" diameter, frozen lumps, highly plastic clay, organic matter, corrosive material or other deleterious foreign materials. 9) The new proposed 200' long x 16" diameter culvert shall then be installed between the northern side of the coffer dam, and the southern side of the existing NC DOT storm drainage ditch. (see #2, above) 10) The banks shall be excavated to a depth of approximately 12 inches below the new culvert centerline grade to allow for the installation of the new 16" corrugated metal pipe (ASTM A929), and to allow the pipe to be properly embedded. The new culvert bed shall be prepared for a slope relative to the grade stakes previously placed on site at the excavation area based on field measurements of the existing natural slope. This is to insure that the existing tributary grade and slope are mimicked by the new culvert. 11) Upon completion of the excavation, uneven or rocky surfaces shall be leveled with fine granular fill to a depth of 6 inches prior to the placing of any culvert sections. Pangaea Development Services 12) All side walls of the excavated culvert area shall be verified to be stable. 13) A pipe sling shall be used to place each section of the new culvert into place. The culvert SHALL NOT be placed with a bucket and thumb setup on an excavator. Each section of the culvert shall be lowered into place and its corresponding slope/grade verified at each end to be equal to the aforementioned grade stakes and their relative elevations prior to the next section being placed and securely fastened to its predecessor. 14) Once all section have been placed and attached securely, the slope from inlet to outlet shall be verified to be correct prior to any backfilling operation. The trench shall then be backfilled in graduated levels of 6-12" lifts, each of which shall be individually compacted. The backfill shall also be compacted around the haunches to within 3 feet of each end of the culvert. The backfill will proceed until the top of the finished grade is a minimum of 2' above the top of the culvert and on a camber (raised "hump") to the surrounding grade. A temporary berm shall then be created at the limits of compacted fill (approximately -3 feet in from both inlet and outlet of the culvert) to prevent runoff of the fill from entering the tributary. 15) Following installation of the culvert, a stone dispersion apron shall be constructed at the downstream of the culvert outlet to reduce any potential increase of velocity in the existing storm drainage ditch. It shall consist of either clean-surface or native bank stone having a mean diameter of 6-9 inches as detailed on drawing No. 003 It shall be placed so as to adequately disperse any flow into the existing storm drainage ditch without causing scouring or undermining the existing ditch bottom or associated bank. 16) Once all work on the new culvert has been completed, a portion of the coffer dam shall be removed to allow all water to flow into the inlet end of the new culvert. Special care shall be taken to insure the complete deactivation of the existing tributary bed adjacent and down stream of the coffer dam. 17) Once this phase is completed, the by-pass pumping will be removed to allow the normal stream flow to pass through the new culvert. Natural flow shall then be verified through the new culvert. 18) The entire disturbed area shall then be seeded and covered with hay. Silt fencing shall be installed, as shown on Drawing No. 003, around the perimeter of the new culvert and dispersion apron to minimize any sediment runoff from entering the tributary. 19) All foreign materials shall then be removed from site and any natural rock utilized in the construction process redistributed Pangaea Development Services 20) The estimated construction schedule for this work is estimated to require (4) 9 hours days of work or less Pangaea Development Services "COMMERCIAL 7.58AC" PROPOSED WORK DESCRIPTION The proposed work included installation of a 200 foot corrugated metal pipe culvert to redirect a portion of an un-named tributary, and three storm drains to facilitate the removal of an existing 16" pipe (corrugated metal and corrugated pvc) which currently directs a portion of the existing tributary diagonally across the site. The work will also include the backfilling\cover-up of that portion of said tributary lying between the area of the aforementioned proposed culvert inlet and the existing culvert. PROPOSED LAND USE DESCRIPTION This request is being made to allow for future commercial development of the site. The redirection is needed in order to facilitate the creation of level site pads. Note: A separate Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan shall be prepared and submitted to NCDENR for approval and implementation in order to comply with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control act of 1973 for all future work to be performed on this site.
