noted in item I above. Such an application is required pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act and Part 15A of North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0500.
REQUIRED RESPONSE
The DWQ requests that you respond by August 19,2013. Your response should be sent to the
attention of Kevin Barnett, Division of Water Quality, 2090 US HWY 70, Swannanoa,NC 28778
and should address the following items:
1. Removal of Best Usage—15A NCAC 02B.0211 (2) and 401 Water Quality
Certification
a. Please explain why these impacts occurred without prior authorization.
b. Please provide a map of the project area. The map must include all streams and
wetlands on-site, detailing all impacts (i.e., culverts and/or fill).
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 Water Quality
Certification:
1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for and receive a 404 Permit pertaining
to the work that has occurred. A 401 WQC will be required if the activities are
permitted by the Corps. The application process as described does not guarantee
the impacts will be approved.
2. Restore the stream to pre-existing conditions.
a. includes the removal of the impacts,restoration of the stream channel as
well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream.
If pursuing Option l:
1. Contact the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine the permitting needs of
the activities you have undertaken. The Asheville office phone number is (828)
271-7980.
2. Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required Pre-
Construction Notification (401 WQC application) submitted to DWQ.
If pursuing Option 2: -
a. Please submit a Stream Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. You
must secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream restoration to assist you
with development of your plan and authorization necessary to achieve compliance.

The plan must include the removal of the impacts, restoration of the stream channel as
well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream.
It is recommended that your consultant contact Kevin Barnett of the Asheville Regional
Office for additional guidance during plan development. The plan should include the
following:
b. A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and complete
the restoration work.
c. Once the plan has been implemented and is complete, a final report documenting
restoration of the stream should be submitted to Kevin Barnett.
It is understood that the Macon County Soil and Water Conservation Office has previously
drawn up stabilization plans for this reach of stream. You are encouraged to contact Doug
Johnson at 828-524-3311 to see if this is still an option.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions regarding these
matters,please contact Kevin Barnett at(828) 296-4657 or kevin barnett cr ncdenr.> ov .

total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now or in the\
future)exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h)(6)and
(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and.erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated,and maintained
in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such
that they equal, or exceed,the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment`
and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites;and waste
pile(spoil)projects,including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. In-stream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the trout-spawning
season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However,due to the size of the project,NC DOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet, or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities to
provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover, erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with an
appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the
following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control
devices such as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches;basins, etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes, or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not
contain a nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary
groundcover within riparian areas,hydroseeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a
fertilizer-and limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control
measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters in prohibited. Riparian
areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.

6. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48
inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion
control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
7. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
8. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
9. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
10. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
11. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
12. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
13. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
14. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
15. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
16. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
17. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels,lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
18. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
19. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
20. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
21. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
`?. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.

23. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., of
protected riparian buffers.
24. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
25. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
26. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
28. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.

account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for--remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

pare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
.emitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties,Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated August 5, 2013 (received August 5, 2013),
including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have

or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter
greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other
structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. f

.ireen,P.E.

,e Three
8. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
9. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. black walnut and
10. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows,alders, sycamores, dogwoods,
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
11. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
12. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
14. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels,lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
15. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
16. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
'17. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact be
curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
19. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
20. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
21. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
22. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
23. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
24. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements,etc.
'25. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.

Dear Ms.Vance:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of

$1,387.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B- '
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount.of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:

for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative
Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty(30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid,you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
3. ,Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with they \j
project. �
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter
greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other
structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.

,ory J.Thorpe,Ph.D.

8. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
9. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
11. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
12. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
14. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels,lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
15. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
16.Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
7. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
19. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
ands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
20. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetl
authorized by this certification.
21. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
22. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
23. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards(including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated,or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
24. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements,etc.
' 5. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.

SUBJECT: Collection System Inspection
Drexel Collection System
Permit No: WQCS00323
Burke County
Dear Ms. Bradshaw:
On July 31, 2013, 1 conducted an inspection of the Town of Drexel's collection system
program. Present during the inspection were Scotty Costner and Roger Burleson. I was
hoping to meet with you to get acquainted and explain the collection system permit
requirements; unfortunately you were unable to join us. The program was found to be
marginally compliant with permit WQCS00323. Deficiencies exist related to reinvestment
in the collection system as well as reporting. These areas are required in the permit
under Section I. Performance Standards #5, and Section IV. Monitoring and Reporting #2.
Please also note in the enclosed inspection report comments related to Section 11. #2 and
Section V. #2 of your permit.
The first area that needs your attention and response is regarding the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). Pursuant to permit requirements Section I. Performance
Standards #5, the Permittee shall designate funding for reinvest into the collection system
infrastructure. During my file review, I found a CIP prepared for the Town of Drexel by
HSMM in February 2009. This CIP is dated and incomplete. There are 5 sewer
improvement areas listed in this CIP. According to Mr. Costner and Mr. Burleson none of
these improvements have been made. I need to know if the Town of Drexel'has plans to
undertake any of these improvement projects.
The town has one sewer pump station, which has deficiencies. During my file review,
found an Engineering Report prepared by McGill and Associates in December 2012 for a
Sewer Pump Station Replacement project along with an approval letter from the
Infrastructure Finance Section dated April 12, 2013. This letter sets milestones for
funding of the pump station replacement project. Please respond regarding the Town's
intentions on meeting these milestones.

Another area of the program that needs to be reviewed is Sanitary Sewer Overflows
(SSO) reporting. This is particularly important for the Town of Drexel given your proximity
to a Public Water Supply intake downstream. The sewer system and the pump station
serving the Town of Drexel are aged, yet there has never been an SSO reported to the
Division of Water Quality. Please review Section IV#2 in your permit for the reporting
requirements relating to SSOs. I will assist Mr. Costner directly through this process.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for other areas that need your attention. If
you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.

Permit: WQCS00323 Owner-Facility: Town of Drexel
Inspection Date: 07/31/2013 Inspection Type: Collection System Inspect Non Sampling Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Present during the inspection were Scotty Costner and Roger Burleson with the Town of Drexel
The Drexel collection system has—13 miles of sewer lines. They have 5 high priority aerial lines which they inspect
monthly. The collection system is Orangeburg pipe, 60+years old.
Drexel has 1 pump station at the old wastewater treatment facility. The pump station is also very old.An engineering
report by McGill and Associates dated December 2012 to replace this pump station has been submitted.
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)prepared by HSMM dated February 2009 is on file at the Asheville Regional Office;
none of the improvements listed in the CIP have been initiated or completed. Although not listed in the 2009 CIP, in 2010
—1,500'of sewerline in the vicinity of Byrd Rd. and Woodman St.were replaced.
There has never been an SSO reported to the Division of Water Quality by the Town of Drexel. Given the age of their
system and the amount of rain in 2013,this is suspect. Discussed during the inspection were proper reporting
requirements for overflows.
The map needs to be updated.
Pertinent people involved in this permit need to establish an ongoing meeting schedule to discuss the collection systems
operation and maintenance needs.
The pump station is a primary concern. See Bryant Rd pump station section of report.

(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural

Division of Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to
the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that

that this type of discharge is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(6). This is
a repeat occurrence at this location and was first observed in June by facility staff.
By this letter, this Office is requiring that you insure that waste water generated from
your RV is properly disposed. Future discharges of this type without a valid permit will be
considered to be a violation of the aforementioned General Statute and could be subject to the
assessment of a civil penalty.
As authorized by NCGS 143-215.6A, a civil penalty may be assessed for any failure to secure a
permit required by NCGS 143-215.1 or for violation of any classification, standard, limitation or
management practice established pursuant to NCGS 143-214.1 or 143-215. The Environmental
Management Commission is empowered to assess civil penalties of not more than twenty five
thousand dollars ($25,000) per day per violation for as long as the violation continues. Any
future discharges observed by DWR personnel could result in the recommendation for
an enforcement action.

l. North Prong Glade Creek is class C-trout waters. NCDWR recommends that the most protective
sediment and erosion control BMP's be implemented to reduce the risk of turbidity violations in trout
waters. In addition,all disturbances within trout buffers shall be conducted in accordance with the
NC Division of Land Resources and NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
2. Should NC Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)identify these waters as naturally reproducing
trout waters,NCDOT will be required to observe the NCWRC—recommended moratoria for trout. In
additions,NCDWR will require that NCDOT strictly adhere to North Carolina regulations entitled
"Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" [15A NCAC 04B .0124]throughout design and
construction of the project.

General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Projects
1. NCDWR is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from these projects.
NCDOT shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the
aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
2. If foundation test borings are necessary; it shall be noted in the document Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3687/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.
3. Low Impact Bridge Projects must fall under Nationwide Permit No. 3 to qualify for Low Impact;
otherwise, standard permitting procedures will be required.Example(Regional General Permit No.
31,Nationwide Permit No.23,Nationwide Permit No. 13, etc.)
4. Whenever possible,NCDWR prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the stream banks and do not require stream channel
realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and
wildlife passage beneath the structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not
be blocked. Bridge supports(bents)should not be placed in the stream when possible.
5. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across
the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means(grassed swales,pre-formed scour holes,
vegetated buffers,etc.)before entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of
NCDWR's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
6. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge
Demolition and Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water
Quality Certification.
7. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft
construction methods.More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without
prior written approval from NCDWR first.
8. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface
waters. This water shall be captured,treated,and disposed of properly.
9. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by
NCDWR in this certification.
10. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,temporary
causeways, or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be floated into
position and then sunk. The barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position.Under no
circumstances should barges be dragged along the bottom of the surface water.
11.All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP
measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual
such as sandbags,rock berms,cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
(10)

If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall
not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and
fish kills.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. This equipment
shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,
lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
14. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be
cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized
equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and
minimizes soil disturbance.
15. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
16. In most cases, the NCDWR prefers the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with
road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour shall be designed and located to avoid
wetland impacts,minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the
structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure shall be removed and the approach fills removed
from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills shall be removed and restored to the natural ground
elevation. The area shall be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue shall
not be used in riparian areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a
401 Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water
quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or
require additional information,please contact Mike Parker at 828-296-4500.

Dear Mr.Harris:
The Division of Water Resources(NCDWR)has reviewed the request from NCDOT's Hydraulics Unit,concerning the
discharge of stormwater through deck drains, from the proposed bridge(TIP No.4733)on NC Highway 175, over Lake
Chatuge, in Clay County. Based on NCDOT's memos dated August 6,2013 from Randy Henegar,PE and August 20,
2013 from Andrew T.Nottingham,PE, discussing stormwater treatment alternatives and additional bridge costs we have
decided that NCDOT will not have to comply with the requirements for deck drain discharge listed as Condition 9. in
Water Quality Certification Nos. 3891 and 3893.
Removal of the bridge deck drain condition only applies to TIP Project No.B-4733 and shall not be applied to any other
project without written permission from the Division of Water Resources.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Resources under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions,please telephone Mr.Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.
