Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands
Mill Creek Golf Club bridge repair
Macon County
DEM Project 92336
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification to place
fill material in wetlands for bridge repair located at Mill Creek Golf
Course, in Macon County, we have determined that the proposed fill can be
covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 2732 issued January 21,
1992. A copy of the General Certification is attached. This Certification
may be used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide
Permit No. 14. Additional conditions which must be met are 1) culverts
shall be placed one foot below the streambed and 2) riprap shall be placed
at the inlet and outlet of the culvert.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney at 919/733-1786

MEMORANDUM
TO: Robert W. Johnson, Office Manager
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Asheville
FROM: Dennis Stewart, Manager
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 8, 1992
SUBJECT: Review of an application by Mr. Thomas Schreiner of
McGill Associates, P.A., to replace four golf cart
bridges with culverts, Franklin, Macon County
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
reviewed the information provided by Mr. Thomas Schreiner, and
professional biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat
values of the project area. An onsite investigation was
conducted on March 17, 1992 for the purpose of further assessing
potential construction impacts on wildlife and fisheries
resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.), Clean Water Act of
1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.), and North Carolina General Statutes
(G.S. 113-131 et. seq.).
The applicant is requesting authorization to replace four
wooden bridges at golf cart crossings with culverts. The purpose
of the work is to upgrade the existing Mill Creek Golf Course.
Three of the culverts will be box culverts and one will be an
arch culvert. Footing pads will be installed for all box
culverts. Class 2 rip-rap will be placed around the ends of each
culvert.
Mill Creek is a tributary to Cartoogechaye Creek, which is a
Designated Public Mountain Trout Water and managed by the NCWRC
as a put and take trout fishery. Mill Creek is a low gradient
headwater stream that meanders through the golf course. The
stream is characterized as a step-pool channel with good undercut
bank, cover habitat. It has a bank full width of 5-6 feet and a
substrate of cobble, gravel and sand. This stream may serve as a
spawning stream for trout in Cartoogechaye Creek. No wetlands
will be involved in the construction of the raceways. No federal

or state listed threatened or endangered species are known to be
present. This project may cause short-term turbidity during
construction and could be detrimental to aquatic organisms if raw
concrete escapes into the stream.
The NCWRC is concerned over potential adverse impacts to
aquatic resources in Mill Creek. The NCWRC will not object to
the issuance of the permit provided the following conditions are
met by the applicant:
1) Erosion control measures should be installed prior to the
start of construction and maintained until the project
site has been stabilized.
2) Adequate precautions should be taken to prevent wet concrete
from coming into contact with the stream. The stream flow
should be diverted away from footing pads while they are being
poured. This will reduce the likelihood of a fish kill
associated with construction.
3) In order that fish passage will be insured, culverts should be
placed 1 foot below the stream bed.
4) Work is prohibited in the stream from November 1 to April 15
to protect trout egg and fry stages from sedimentation.
5) Temporary ground cover should be placed on bare surfaces as
soon as construction is completed. Permanent vegetation in
these same areas must be.established within 15 working days of
project completion to provide long term erosion control.
6) Rip-rap should only be placed at the inlet and outlet of the
culverts. Placing rip-rap at other locations on the creek
will require a separate review.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. Please contact us if you need further assistance.

Dear Mr. Schreiner:
Reference your application dated March 23, 1992, for Department of the
Army authorization to replace four existing bridges over Mill Creek with
culverts on the Mill Creek Golf Course, Macon County, North Carolina. This
project has been coordinated with the NC 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 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads crossing waters of
the United States (including wetlands and other special aquatic sites)
provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
c. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general
condition.
r ? ? rr

Your work is authorized by this nationwide permitprovided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and with
conditions outlined in the enclosed WRC letter dated,'April 8, 1992.
This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to
obtain any required state or local approval. Please. contact Mr. John Dorney,
NC Division of Environmental Management, [phone], to obtain a waiver or
water quality certificate for the proposed work. This permit is effective
upon receipt of the waiver or certification.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.

-2-
the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of
the Endangered Species Act have been satisfied and that the activity is
authorized. Information on the location of threatened and endangered species
can be obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine
Fisheries Service.
12. Historic Properties. No activity which may affect Historic Properties
listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places
is authorized, until the District Engineer has complied with the provisions of
33 CFR 325, Appendix C. The prospective permittee must notify the District
Engineer if the authorized activity may affect any historic properties listed,
determined to be eligible, or which the prospective permittee has reason to
believe may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic
Places, and shall not begin the activity until notified by the District
Engineer that the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act have
been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. Information on the
location and existence of historic resources can be obtained from the State
Historic Preservation Office and the National Register of Historic Places (see

FROM: Dennis Stewart, Manager
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 8, 1992
SUBJECT: Review of an application by Mr. L% X&O1.-; ne of
ar
McGill Associates, P.A., to replace our'' f zx?
?s with culverts IaDn ?Cri3riiyty''+
., ...a....
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
reviewed the information provided by Mr. Thomas Schreiner, and
professional biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat
values of the project area. An onsite investigation was
conducted on March 17, 1992 for the purpose of further assessing
potential construction impacts on wildlife and fisheries
resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.), Clean Water Act of
1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.), and North Carolina General Statutes
(G.S. 113-131 et. seq.).
The applicant is requesting authorization to replace four
wooden bridges at golf cart crossings with culverts. The purpose
of the work is to upgrade the existing Mill Creek Golf Course.
Three of the culverts will be box culverts and one will be an
arch culvert. Footing pads will be installed for all box
culverts. Class 2 rip-rap will be placed around the ends of each
culvert.
Mill Creek is a tributary to Cartoogechaye Creek, which is a
Designated Public Mountain Trout Water and managed by the NCWRC
as a put and take trout fishery. Mill Creek is a low gradient
headwater stream that meanders through the golf course. The
stream is characterized as a step-pool channel with good undercut
bank, cover habitat. It has a bank full width of 5-6 feet and a
substrate of cobble, gravel and sand. This stream may serve as a
spawning stream for trout in Cartoogechaye Creek. No wetlands
will be involved in the construction of the raceways. No federal
or state listed threatened or endangered species are known to be
present. This project may cause short-term turbidity during
construction and could be detrimental to aquatic organisms if raw
concrete escapes into the stream.
The NCWRC is concerned over potential adverse impacts to
aquatic resources in Mill Creek. The NCWRC will not object to
the issuance of the permit provided the following conditions are
met by the applicant:
1) Erosion control measures should be installed prior to the
start of construction and maintained until the project
site has been stabilized.
2) Adequate precautions should be taken to prevent wet concrete
from coming into contact with the stream. The stream flow
should be diverted away from footing pads while they are being
poured. This will reduce the likelihood of a fish kill
associated with construction.
3) In order that fish passage will be insured, culverts should be
placed 1 foot below the stream bed.
4) Work is prohibited in the stream from November 1 to April 15
to protect trout egg and fry stages from sedimentation.
5) Temporary ground cover should be placed on bare surfaces as
soon as construction is completed. Permanent vegetation in
these same areas must be established within 15 working days of
project completion to provide long term erosion control.
6) Rip-rap should only be placed at the inlet and outlet of the
culverts. Placing rip-rap at other locations on the creek
will require a separate review.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. Please contact us if you need further assistance.
