SUBJECT: Hooker Falls Stream Stabilization and Restoration, Transylvania County,
North Carolina
Please find attached the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form for
the referenced project. The North Carolina Division of Forest Resources (NCDFR) has
proposed a stream stabilization and restoration project within the DuPont State Forest along
the Little River in Transylvania County. This project is located approximately 6.5 miles from
Brevard and consists of two distinct areas on the river. The first area is located
approximately 0.10 mile upstream of Hooker Falls at the site of an existing natural gas line
easement. The second area is located at the base of Hooker Falls. This work will result in
398 linear feet (7,772 square feet) of unavoidable impacts to the Little River. The anticipated
let date for this project is the end of Apri12007.
The purpose of this proposed project is to cease the continued erosion along the
banks of the Little River. These two locations were chosen because of the severe nature of
erosion at these locations due primarily to significant public use. The first site is a very
popular location for fishing, sun bathing, and picnicking due to its open nature and relatively
shallow water because of a large rock outcropping. The right bank has witnessed severe
erosion from pedestrian traffic along the natural gas easement which provides easy visitor
access to this area from Hooker Falls Road. Armoring of the right bank through use an
engineered modified single wing deflector is necessary. Also proposed at this location is a
"J-hook rock vane" structure which will protect the left bank while providing habitat for
existing trout populations. The second site is perhaps an even more popular location for
visitors to the DuPont Sate Forest due to its position immediately downstream of Hooker
Falls. Uses of the shoreline at this location include photography, fishing, sun-bathing, and
picnicking. The heavy foot traffic along with severe storms during the past five years has
caused severe erosion and the loss of a significant portion of shoreline. There are no
indications that the current rate of erosion is slowing; therefore, a large modified single wing
deflector has been proposed along the right bank. This structure will cease the erosion, as
well as providing an area that can be walked on and enjoyed by the many park visitors. The
left bank at this location has an extremely steep slope and will not require bank stabilization
or stream restoration structures.
The existing Hooker Falls Road currently used exclusively for foot traffic will
provide the necessary equipment access to these two locations. Though the NCDFR
currently does not allow vehicular traffic on this road, the access road is a 10 foot gravel
road which can handle the equipment traffic necessary to construct the proposed stream
structures. This equipment traffic will involve a bucket excavator and dump trucks. It

should be noted that a significantly steep area along Hooker Falls Road near the Hooker
Falls overlook has been paved. The portion of the access road immediately beyond the
Hooker Falls overlook will need to be upgraded to support the proposed equipment traffic.
All disturbed areas will be planted with temporary and permanent seeding, and will also be
mulched. In addition, restored sections of the stream channel will be further stabilized
through the installation of coin fiber erosion control matting. Native vegetation (both
seedlings and live staking) will be installed immediately following construction
The project is located within the French Broad River subbasin 04-03-01. There is
only one jurisdictional stream within the project study area, the Little River. The Little River
is depicted on the Brevard, NC topographic quadrangle map and the Transylvania County
soil survey. The Little River flows into Cascade Lake approximately 0.5 mile northwest of
the project area. NCDWQ has assigned a best usage classification of "C; Tr" to the Little
River and a stream index number is 6-38-(1). The USGS hydrologic unit is 06010105. There
is another small perennial unnamed tributary (UT) to the Little River that empties into the
Little River near the J-hook structure at the natural gas easement site. This stream is not
proposed to be directly impacted. Laurel Creek located approximately 1 mile west of
Hooker Falls has been classified by NCDWQ as high quality waters (HQW); however, this
stream empties into Cascade Lake approximately 0.75 miles downstream of Hooker Falls.
There are no outstanding resource waters (ORW), high quality drinking water supply waters
(WS-I and WS-II), or 303(d) listed streams within aone-mile radius of the project study area.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified five Endangered
(E) species (Carolina northern flying squirrel, Appalachian elktoe, oyster mussel, mountain
sweet pitcherplant, and spreading avens), two Threatened (I~ species (small whorled pogonia
and swamp pink), and one species Threatened due to a similarity of appearance (T[S/A])
(bog turtle) fox which occurrences have been recorded in Transylvania County. The land
that will be impacted as a result of this project consists of a perennial mountain stream, with
an existing maintained natural gas line easement, and a gravel access road. Suitable habitat is
present for Appalachian elktoe, oyster mussel, and small whorled pogonia.
Suitable habitat fox the Carolina northern flying squirrel (Glaucomy.c .cabrinu.r coloratu.r)
consisting of forested areas above 4,500 feet msl is not present in the project study
area. NCNHP does not list any occurrences of the Carolina northern flying squirrel
within a one mile radius of the project area. This species will not be impacted as a
result of project construction.
• The bog turtle (Clemmyc muhlenbergia) is listed as T (S/A) due to its similarity of
appearance to another rare species that is listed fox protection. T (S/A) species are
not subject to Section 7 consultation of the Endangered Species Act. A biological
conclusion for this species is not required. In addition, suitable habitat consisting of
mountain bog areas is not present within the project study area.
• Suitable habitat for the Appalachian elktoe (Ala.rmidonta raveneliana) consisting of
shallow, medium-sized creeks and rivers with cool, well-oxygenated; moderate to fast
flowing water is present in the project study area. The main stem of the Little River
from Cascade Lake Power Plant, downstream to its confluence with the French
Broad River has been designated as critical habitat for the Appalachian elktoe.
However, NCNHP does not list any occurrences of the Appalachian elktoe within

the Little River drainage basin above the Cascade Lake dam, nor does NCNHP list
the freshwater mussel within a one mile radius of the project area.
• Suitable habitat for the oyster mussel (Epioblarma cap.raeforrni.r) consisting of fast
flowing water less than 3 feet deep at riffles with a sand and gravel substrate is
present within the project study area. NCNHP does not list any occurrences of the
oyster mussel within a one mile radius of the project area.
• Suitable habitat for the mountain sweet pitcherplant (Sarracenia rubra .crp. jone.riz)
consisting of depression bogs and cataract bogs in the Southern Appalachian
Mountains is not present within the project study area. NCNHP does not depict any
occurrences of the mountain sweet pitcherplant within a one mile radius of the
project study area. Proposed project construction will not impact this species.
• Suitable habitat for the small whorled pogonia (Lrotria medeoloide.r) consisting of open,
dry deciduous woods with acid soils and rich cove hardwoods is present in the
project study area. NCNHP does not list any occurrences of the small whorled
pogonia within a one mile radius of the project area.
• Suitable habitat for spreading avens (Geum radiatum) consisting of high-elevation
cliffs, outcrops, steep slopes, and on grassy balds near summit outcrops which are
exposed to full sun is not present in the project study area. NCNHP does not list
any occurrences of spreading avens within a one mile radius of the project area.
Proposed project construction will not impact this species.
Suitable habitat for swamp pink (Helonia.r bullata) consisting of Appalachian mountain
bogs, swampy forests bordering small streams, wet meadows and spring seepage
areas is not present in the project study area. NCNHP depicts one population of
swamp pink approximately one mile south of the project study area. This population
is located along an unnamed tributary to the Little River immediately downstream of
a large pond associated with the DuPont Forest Power Plant. The proposed project
will not impact this species.
Following your review and concurrence with the proposed action, please issue a
NWP 27 that will authorize construction activities associated with stream stabilization and
restoration activities at the Hooker Falls site. If you have any questions or comments
concerning the project, please contact me at [phone]. Thank you fox your assistance.

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The property is currently forested with a natural a
easement traversing the property. There is a maintained one-lane paved/gravel access road
that is blocked for traffic and used as a major trail to Hooker Falls. A large ravel parking
area is located along DuPont Road and serves as the trail head. There are several areas of
picnicking and recreation facilities on the property, especially near the Hooker Falls Road.
Undeveloped forest land adjoins the subject property in all directions. Cascade Lake is
present approximately 1 mile northwest and downstream of Hooker Falls and a substation is
present approximately 1 mile south and upstream of Hooker Falls.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Stream
restoration and riverbank stabilization are proposed at two locations along the Little River
near Hooker Falls. The first area is located at a natural gas line easement near an old fiord.
Work within this area will involve construction of a "J-hook" stream restoration structure
along the left bank and a modified sin lg e wing deflector alon tg_ he right bank. The second
area is located immediately downstream of large pool at the base of Hooker Falls. Work in
this area will involve the construction of a modified sin lg e wing deflector alon tg he right
bank. Standard stream restoration construction equipment including an excavator and a dump
truck or front-end loader will be used to convey the rock to the stream and construct the
structures in the stream.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: To stabilize and reinforce the stream banks that
have demonstrated severe erosion and direct the flow of the water within the stream channel
by use of natural channel design. This will avoid any continued erosion along the stream
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. There have been no previous environmental permits (applied for or
otherwise) associated with the Little River within the subject property that the North Carolina
Division of Forest Resources has any knowledge of.

V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future stream restoration activities are antic~ated to occur once this proposed work is
completed.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
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.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: These proposed stream restoration
and bank stabilization activities will impact 398 linear feet of channel and will disturb
7,772.0 square feet of stream channel.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Expected pond surface area (permanent pool):
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 reach of the Little River associated with the project experiences a large volume of
pedestrian traffic throughout the year. Both areas where the proposed stabilization and
restoration are planned have experienced relatively severe bank erosion during storms associated
with recent major hurricanes. The maiority of the streambank erosion has occurred along the
right banks at both sites. This accelerated erosion is apparently attributed to the lack of sufficient
existin riparian vegetation at these locations. The bulk of the pedestrian traffic is limited to the
existing_gravel access road, Hooker Falls Road, adjacent to each of the sites. Both sites, however
are, popular access points for various activities, including fishing, kayakin ,photography,
sunbathing, and swimming. Without these stabilization and restoration activites these areas will
continue to erode as well as the relatively undisturbed areas immediately upatream and
downstream of these locations.
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,
Page 6 of 9

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~ide.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.
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

Hooker Falls -Little River Stream Restoration Project
DuPont State Forest
Transylvania County, NC
General Description
The proposed Hooker Falls -Little River Stream Restoration Project (project) is located
entirely within the limits of the DuPont State Forest in Transylvania County, near Brevard,
North Carolina. Mulkey, Inc. (Mulkey) was contracted through the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Forest Resources (DFR) to
provide engineering services for this project, including design and construction management.
The proposed design for this project is based on natural channel design methodologies and
is intended to correct or stabilize several areas of existing streambank erosion.
The project is located along the Little River at two non-contiguous sites: the Gas Line Site,
which is upstream of Hooker Falls, in the vicinity of the existing PSNC subterranean utility
crossing; and the Hooker Falls Site, which is located immediately downstream of Hooker
Falls. The drainage area at the Hooker Falls Site is approximately 35.5 square miles. The
reach of the Little River associated with the project sites experiences a large volume of
pedestrian traffic throughout the year. Both sites have experienced relatively severe bank
erosion during storms associated with recent major hurricanes. The majority of the
streambank erosion has occurred along the right banks at both sites. This accelerated
erosion is apparently attributed to the lack of sufficient existing riparian vegetation at these
locations. The bulk of the pedestrian traffic described above is limited to the existing gravel
access road, Hooker Falls Road, adjacent to each of the sites. Both sites, however are,
popular access points for various activities, including fishing, kayaking, photography,
sunbathing, and swimming.
Goals and Objectives
The DFR has the following goals and objectives for this stream restoration project:
• Correct or stabilize the areas of existing streambank erosion at the sites utilizing natural
channel design methodologies;
• Reduce the rate of streambank erosion at the sites, consequently improving water quality;
• Improve in-stream habitat;
• Strategically control some of the pedestrian access at both sites; and
• Provide an opportunity within the DuPont State Forest to educate the general public
about stream restoration.

Proposed Restoration
As noted above, the proposed restoration design for both sites is based on natural channel
design methodologies. The right bank at both the Gas Line Site and the Hooker Falls Site
will be restored through the construction of modified single wing deflectors. These
deflectors will be modified through construction of rock sills to create "cells". These cells
are intended to prevent washout or failure of the structure during large storm events. The
cells will also be arranged to permanently facilitate and direct equipment and pedestrian
access at both sites. Future equipment access will be facilitated and directed by terracing the
deflectors down naturally to the right edge of water. Pedestrian access will be facilitated and
directed by raising some of the cells slightly to encourage traffic within desired corridors
across the structure. All of the rock cells will be backfilled to final grade with gravel tailings.
The raised cells adjacent to the pedestrian access areas will ultimately be planted with
permanent native species vegetation by the DFR after construction. These raised cells will
be backfilled to within two feet of final grade with gravel tailings, with the remaining backfill
to grade consisting of topsoil excavated on site during construction. A rock j-hook will be
constructed along the left bank at the Gas Line Site. This structure is proposed to repair the
minor erosion along the left bank, to prevent future erosion at this location, as well as to
provide additional in-stream habitat. All of the rock and gravel tailings used for the
construction of the in-stream structures for this project will come from on-site or will be
supplied from one or both of the quarries owned by the DFR and located within the
DuPont State Forest.
Erosron Control
Erosion control during construction operations will be provided through the use of silt
fence, tree protection fence, a gravel construction entrance, the existing gravel access roads,
Holly Road and Hooker Falls Road, as well as the existing DFR equipment staging area at
Holly Road. A gravel construction entrance will be installed at the entrance to the existing
gravel parking lot at Staton Road (SR 1593). All construction access will utilize the existing
gravel access roads, Hooker Falls Road and Holly Road. The section of Hooker Falls Road
at the east end of the project will be improved to a ten-foot wide gravel section by the DFR
prior to the beginning of construction. All construction materials will be staged at the
existing DFR equipment storage area at Holly Road. The proposed area of disturbance is
0.85 acre, and is limited to the actual work areas where the in-stream structures will be
installed, the spoil areas at these locations, and the staging area at the existing DFR
equipment storage area. Silt fence will be installed at the down slope end of the Hooker
Falls Site, as well as surrounding the staging area. A stream pump around system is not
proposed because of the large drainage area (approximately 35.5 square miles). Mature
vegetation outside of channel construction is to be left undisturbed, to the maximum extent
practicable. All disturbed areas will be planted with temporary and permanent seeding, and
will also be mulched. In addition, restored sections of the stream channel will be further
stabilized through the installation of coin fiber erosion control matting.
As described above, the project has been divided up into two separate sites or work
locations. Construction of the project will be carried out in four phases to ensure adequate
implementation of erosion and sedimentation controls, minimization of sedimentation,

channel stability, and maximum vegetation survival. The proposed construction sequence
outlining these four phases is included below:
PHASE I
1. Staging areas, stockpile areas, the construction entrance, limits of silt fencing, and existing
access roads will be identified and located as shown in plans.
2. Install the construction entrance.
3. Contractor will begin stockpiling materials in designated staging areas.
4. Install silt fencing to the limits shown on the plans. Silt fencing will be installed around
the limits of the staging/stockpile areas.
5. Install tree protection fencing as directed by the Designer. Flag all vegetation to be
transplanted.
PHASE II
HOOKER FALLS SITE
1. Proposed structure locations will be staked by the contractor.
2. Remove all transplants and stockpile and maintain in accordance with the construction
documents.
3. Remove any appropriate trees to be used as rootwads and stockpile in accordance with
the contract documents.
4. Perform required clearing and grubbing.
5. Segregate and stockpile topsoil and other soil material in accordance with the contract
documents.
6. Boulders and materials used for stream structures will be delivered through the primary
construction entrance and stockpiled in appropriate areas at the site.
7. Stream banks will be reconstructed and structures installed. Perform all topsoil
replacement, vegetation transplanting, and seeding.
8. Stream banks will have permanent and temporary seed, straw, soil amendments, and
erosion control matting applied to them as work progresses and by the end of each day.
Erosion control matting will be installed on top of the seeded, amended, and mulched
stream banks according to Construction Documents.

GENERAL NOTES
1
+~
1. This plan is based on the principles of natural channel design.
2. Proposed constructed stream features and structures shown on these plans are shown
in their approximate location and shall be field located and dimensioned to insure
proper channel dimension.
3. All elevations shown on these plans are referenced to an assumed datum.
4. The location of all equipment and material staging areas, haul roads and access points
to be located as noted on these plans. Limits of tree protection fencing, silt fencing,
construction staging areas and construction access roads shown approximate on plans.
Limits and locations to be coordinated with the designer.
5. Rock will be staged in construction staging areas upon delivery. Existing rock will
also be utilized in formation of structures where feasible.
6. Construction activities shall progress downstream, unless otherwise noted on these
plans or as directed by the designer.
7. Equipment will remain outside of channel for the majority of construction. Minimal
in-stream work is anticipated for successful placement of structures and channel
excavation.
8. All mechanized equipment operated in or near the stream or its tributaries shall be
inspected regularly and maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from
fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials. Any equipment repairs,
maintenance or refueling activities shall not be done while the equipment is in the
stream or its tributaries.
9. Contractor to dispose of all waste material offsite in accordance with all federal, state
and local regulations.
10. All appropriately sized on-site trees removed during the stream restoration
construction to beused on-site as rootwads, footer logs, etc., where feasible and as
directed by the designer.
11. All rootwads shall be installed by driving or pushing them into the streambank, when
driving is not feasible, installation through excavation maybe acceptable if directed
by the Designer.
12. All disturbed areas to be seeded immediately as specified in the project specifications.
13. Apply temporary and permanent seed and erosion control fiber matting to bankfull
bench and cut banks daily as excavation progresses. Erosion control fiber matting
will be keyed into the top of slope and at the ends of each mat to prevent undercutting
from sheetflow. Additional silt fencing will be installed as directed by the designer.
14. Unless otherwise directed by the Designer or noted on these plans, a 50-foot
minimum width permanently vegetated buffer shall be planted.
15. Use rootwads, topsoil and transplant vegetation generated on-site for the proposed
stream construction as close as possible to the existing location from where these
items are removed in order to minimize hauling distance and storage duration.
16 Unless otherwise directed by the designer, and where feasible, when beginning
construction on a given reach, where clearing is required, use the following sequence:
A. Remove transplant vegetation and stockpile as specified on the plans.
B. Remove larger trees that can be used on-site for rootwads, footer logs, log vanes
or floodplain habitat structures and stockpile as specified on the plans.
C. Remove remaining vegetation and dispose of or stockpile as specified on the
plans.
D. Remove topsoil and stockpile as specified on the plans.
E. Remove remaining soil materials as required and stockpile as specified on the
plans.
17. Existing non-native vegetation within the proposed limits of construction to be
removed as specified in the project specifications.
18. Contractor to provide temporary plant bedding area on site for temporary storage of
vegetation transplants. Transplants to be kept watered, mulched and shaded at all
times as specified in the project specifications.
19. Construction staging areas to be of adequate size to provide safe and organized
storage for rock, rootwads and logs to be used for in-stream structures, mulch, topsoil
and other soil material, temporary plant beds for vegetation transplant material, as
well as all other related construction materials and equipment.
20. Construction personnel should park all vehicles within the limits of the designated
construction staging areas. All other construction equipment and vehicles should be
parked within the construction staging areas when not in use.
21. Contractor to be responsible for repairs to any damage to existing utilities, including
but not limited to, overhead and underground utilities, curb and gutter, pavement,
sidewalks, storm drainage systems, sanitary sewer systems, access roads, or fencing.
Any required repairs to be made in accordance with any and all applicable state and
or local municipality standards. The Contractor shall consult with the "Call Before
You Dig" Toll Free Number 800-632-4949, Mr. Ryan Green at PSNC Energy at 828-
273-7256, and the NC ONE Call Center at least 48 hour prior to beginning any
earthwork activities.
22. Contractor shall keep all topsoil stockpiled on site separately from other soil
materials.
23. Rock vanes may be installed in lieu ofj-hook vanes at the direction of the Designer.
24. Contractor may conduct minimal hand pruning of overhanging limbs along Hooker
Falls Road to facilitate equipment access and to prevent damage to existing
vegetation. Such pruning may be performed only with direct supervision of the
designer and the NCFS. No other vegetation removal is permitted unless specifically
approved by the designer and the NCFS.
25. The Contractor is advised to use caution and to follow the contract documents as well
as all applicable regulations with regards to pedestrian and bystander safety.
26. Al] tree and shrub plantings to be performed by NCFS after the completion of
construction.
