Box 293 Flint, TX 75762 APPROVAL of 401 'Vater Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Dear Mr. Woodring: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 143 linear feet of stream in order to construct two road crossings and three small impoundments for the Timberwilde residential development located on NC Highway 194 near Todd in Watauga County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 2,2005. After reviewing your application, we have detern1ined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h20.cnr.state.nc.l1s/ncwctlands.This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below: I.

Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control measures in wetlands or waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the North Carolina Division of Land Resources. 4.

Riprap may only be used below the normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream. 7. Energy dissipation and sheet flow must be provided for all discharges of storn1\vater before such discharges reach stream channels or wetlands. 8.

Army Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 US.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 US.C. 661-667d). The project is to create a new subdivision. The permit request is for after-the-fact impacts to 675 linear feet of unnamed tributaries of Pine Orchard Creek which supports populations of native southern brook trout and brown trout. Pine Orchard flows quickly to the South Fork New River. The New system contains many sensitive/rare aquatic species. The Kanawha minnow (Phenacobius teretulus) NCSC, FSC; tonguetied minnow (E.xoglossuJ11laurae) NCSR; Kanawha darter (Etheostol11a kanawhae) NCSR; green floater (Lasl11igona subviridis) NCE, FSC; spike (Elliptio dilatata) NCSC; and the seep mudalia (Leptoxis dilatata) NCT occur in both the North Fork and South Fork New Rivers. This after-the-fact, un-permitted project does not appear to cause direct impacts to trout waters; however, habitat issues are present due to nearby habitats for rare and listed species plus the presence of native southern brook trout. Based on the information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the area, we recommend the following non-prioritized conditions for the permit: Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fishcrics · 1721 Mail Scrvicc Ccntcr · Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 733-3633 · Fax: (919) 715-7643 ., Gary Woodring, Timberwilde 2 February 3, 2005 I. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited during the brown and brook trout spawning season of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and fry stages of trout from off-site sedimentation during construction. 2. All waters from the existing pond should be directed through the spillway to the southwestern channel and away from Ponds Band C. Portions of the southwestern channel have been recently dug. 3. Ponds Band C should be filled. 4. The twenty-five (25) foot trout buffer should be restored on the southwestern stream using native riparian plants and permanently preserved through a conservation easement or deed restriction. Stream banks can be revegetated with silky dogwood, rhododendron, dog hobble, red maple, silky willow, tag alder, black willow, sycamore, or other native woody species to provide long term bank stability and stream shading. Note that silky dogwood, silky willow and black willow can be planted as live stakes collected during the dornlant growing season. Cuttings should be randomly planted and done on four (4) foot centers from the waters edge to the top of the bank. Trees should be planted on ten (10) to twelve (12) foot centers. Stream banks in these areas should also be seeded with a native grass mix or temporary crop of winter wheat or rye. 5. Drainage or seepage from the existing pond discharge pipe should be conveyed through a created grassed swell towards the newly dug perennial stream channel. This swell should be planted with orchard grass and allowed to naturalize. The swell should be permanently preserved with deed restrictions or conservation easements. 6. Where the new channel has been cut and a steep bank is present above pond A, both steep banks should be stabilized with riprap or preferably, the banks should be cut back to provide a floodplain and the area stabilized with filter matting and vegetation. 7. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0124). 8. Pond A may be used to help control sedimentation; however, it should be removed and the stream channel and trout buffer restored as indicated above upon project completion. 9. Once the project is completed, the entire southwestern stream should be a functional stream channel with appropriate native buffer vegetation. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.
