Dear Mr. Martin;
Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands
Return water from upland dike disposal and headwater
wetland fill from dredge project
J+Haywood County
DEM Project #92174, COE Project #199201589
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 0.3 acres of wetlands for
return water from upland disposal and fill of wetlands for fill
disposal at golf course site at Lake Junaluska Golf Course in
Haywood County, we have determined that the proposed fill can be
covered by General Water Quality Certifications No. 2668 and 2671
issued January 21, 1992. Copies of the General Certifications
are attached. These Certifications may be used in qualifying for
coverage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permits No. 16
and 26. An additional condition is that a berm shall be built
between the wetland to be filled and Richland Creek to prevent
sediment from entering the creek from this site.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney
at 919/733-5083.
Sincerely,
or e T. Everett

Proposed Wetlands Fill Project Adjacent to Richland Creek
Southeastern Jurisdiction Administrative Council
Lake Junaluska Golf Course
Haywood County
The proposed project submitted by Mr. M. Glenn Martin, Associate
Executive Director of Southeastern Jurisdiction Administrative Council
provides for disposal of dredgings of accumulated sediment from Lake
Junaluska as deposited by the Richland Creek drainage basin; Town of
Waynesville proper and surrounding rural property. Richland Creek is
classified Class "B" waters in the French Broad River Basin. The
Council proposed to permanently dispose of 250,000 cubic yards of
dredged material in an 21 acre area located between the Lake Junaluska
Golf Course and Richland Creek. Approximately .3 acre of the 21 acre
site is directly adjacent and parallel to Richland Creek and qualifies
as a wetland. The stated purpose for filling this area is for golf
course improvements.
Evaluation of the proposed wetland fill area as conducted on April 29,
1992, showed that clearing of this property of trees and underbrush had
begun. The wetland area. is relatively narrow and contains no direct
surface connection to Richland Creek. The major value of this wetland
would be its ability to retain and store flood waters, while providing
an area for nutrient removal from runnoff from the adjacent golf course.
Upon completion of this project, and assuming proper site stabilization
(sediment erosion control) during and following construction, there
appears to be reasonable opportunity to minimize additional siltation in
Richland Creek and Lake Junaluska. This site has good restoration
potential. A Wetland Rating System Worksheet is attached hereto.

As result of this evaluation, it is recommended that a 401 certification
for this project be issued with the condition requiring construction of
an effective berm separating the wetland fill area from Richland Creek
during normal stream flow conditions. While berms are proposed for
construction to allow for containment of the dredged material, no
drawings were provided with the application and the on-site evaluation
left the impression that these berms may be intended for the major part
of the 21 acre site; not necessarily to separate the wetland area from
Richland Creek. Construction of a berm for the specific purpose of
protecting Richland Creek, rather than providing containment of the
dredged material, is recommended as condition for 401 certification.
Should you have questions or wish to discuss this matter in more
detail, please advise.

To Wham It May Concern:
wn1EH
The Southeastern Jurisdiction Administrative Council and Lake
Juna.luska Assembly officials are planning to dredge the lake of
approximately 300,000 cubic yards of silt in 1992.
We also plan to place the silt into some .Law areas between the
Lake Junaluska Golf Course and Richland Creek, to be developed
into golf course in 1993.
This response from the U.G. Corp of Engineers is a part of our
initiative to be sure we are in harmony with all agencies related
to projects like this. Dave Baker, Corp of Engineers, has walked
over this area thoroughly with me. If we can get clearance from
all concerned we will begin immediately to build necessary berms:
and implement: a sediment control plan.
Thanks for your attention.

Dear Mr. Martin:
Reference your application of March 31, 1992, for Department of the Army
authorization to hydraulically dredge approximately 300,000 cubic yards of
sediment from Lake Junaluska in *Ay%Vod County, North Carolina. The project
will require a return effluent from an upland diked disposal area into
Richland Creek. In addition, an approximate 1/4 isolated wetland area is to
be filled. The project has been reviewed by the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (WRC).
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization,
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for return water
from an upland, contained dredged material disposal area where the quality of
the return water is controlled by the State through the Section 401
Certification procedures.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters provided:
a. The discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. The permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and

-2-
c. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Your work is authorized by these nationwide permits provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this lettbr
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity
complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during
the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, of is
modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and
conditions of the NWP authorization, activities which have commenced (i.e.,
are under construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the
NWP will remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months
of the date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization. .

Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U. S. C. 661-667d).
Based upon information provided, it is our opinion that
Section 401 Water Quality Certification can be issued without
significant impacts on fish and wildlife for the following
projects:
1. City of Winston-Salem, Forsyth County
Southeastern Jurisdiction Administrative Council, Lake
Junaluska, Haywood County (ID# 92174)
