FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator lpv)
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 18, 2005
SUBJECT: Review of an application by James Brothers, The Vineyards at Laurel Creek,
0 `i _ og01 DWQ050607, Laurel Creek, Watauga County
The applicant is requesting a letter of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. 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 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The project appears to be the installation of a roadway for a residential subdivision. Specific
impacts are not indicated. Laurel Creek is Hatchery Supported Designated Public Mountain
Trout Water that supports very good wild trout, including brook, brown and rainbows.
Due to time limitations, we are unable to wait for additional information about the project.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our knowledge of the range of trout in
the project area, we do not believe this project will cause significant effects to waters supporting
trout providing the following conditions are implemented as appropriate:
1. Instream work and land disturbance within the 25-foot wide buffer zone are prohibited
during the trout spawning seasons of October 15 through April 15 to protect the egg and
fry stages of trout.

2. Culverts 48 inches diameter or larger should be buried a foot into the streambed.
Culverts less than 48 inches diameter should be buried to a depth equal to or greater than
20% their size to allow for aquatic life passage. These measurements must be based on
natural thalweg depths.
3. Any riprap used must not interfere with aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
4. If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not
contact stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry
and causing a fish kill.
5. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive
watersheds (15A NCAC 413 .0124).
6. All remaining jurisdictional waters should be permanently preserved as common areas
instead of being subdivided into portions of individual lots. Buffers should be maintained
or restored to undisturbed forested riparian zones of 50' for intermittent and 100' for
perennial streams. The minimum twenty-five (25) foot mountain trout buffer should be
provided if larger buffers are not practicable.
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.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Brothers:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 146 linear feet of
perennial stream and in 0.16 acre of riparian wetlands in order to construct the Vineyard at Laurel Creek
residential subdivision, located on Rominger Road near Rominger, in Watauga County, as described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 9, 2005 and in additional correspondence
received on September 9, 2005 and September 30, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web
site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. 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:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B.0211 Fresh Surface Water Quality
Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
3. 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. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
5. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the
location of the culverts. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the
stream. If a culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the
culvert is installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The
Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting
that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
6. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. 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.
Mr. James Brothers
Page 3, DWQ# 05-0807
' October 11, 2005
7. Energy dissipation and sheet flow must be provided for all discharges of stormwater before such
discharges reach stream channels or wetlands.
8. All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct
stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize
water quality impacts. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in
contact with surface waters until it has cured.
9. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
finished. This certificate should be sent to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality
at the address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send photographs
upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-
4600, extension 293, or Ian McMillan in the Wetlands/401 Central Office in Raleigh at 919-715-4631.

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 nronosed impact could not be avoided. The proposed layout is such that the impacts
are necessary to access parts of the tract. The road was chanyed to minimize impacts.
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.
Page 9 of 9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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,
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 NCWRP 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://112o.cnr.statc.nc.tis/nc?? ctlands/strm<,idc.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.

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.
Page 9 of 9
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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,
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 NCWRP 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
littp://hlo.cnr.state.nc.us/ ne«,ctl,inds`strmgidc.htmi.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In May 2005, Atlantic Plan Engineering Corporation (Atlantic Plan) submitted a Pre-construction
Notification (PCN) with a Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan to the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) on behalf of James Brothers for a 21.12 acre tract on Rominger Road in
Rominger, NC. The USACE responded on June 6, 2005 that the PCN was incomplete due to lack
of a detailed delineation of wetlands, vegetated shallows, and riffle and pool complexes. Geoscience
& Technology, P.A. was contracted by Atlantic Plan on June 17, 2005 to perform a wetland and
aquatic site delineation of the property.
1.1 Site Location
This delineation was performed on a site (hereafter referred to as, the subject site, subject property,
study area, or study site) located on the north side of Rominger Road near its intersection with
Laurel Creek Road in the Rominger community, Watauga County, North Carolina. The town of
Valle Crucis is located approximately 3.4 miles southeast of the subject site and the city of Boone is
approximately 8.3 miles to the east. Laurel Creek forms the southern boundary of the subject
property and is a first order tributary of the Watauga River, which is approximately 1 mile to the
northeast. Figure 1 is a general site location map, which is an adaptation of the "Valle Crucis"
USGS 7.5' topographic quadrangle. Figure 2 is an aerial photograph of the site taken in 1995.
1.2 Date of Site Reconnaissances
GeoSci personnel conducted fieldwork at the study site on June 21 and July 8, 2005.
1.3 Identification of Delineator
Peter H. DeVries, Project Geologist with GeoSci, performed the delineation. The following list
summarizes relevant wetland experience and academic qualifications for performance of the
delineation.
1. 1971: BS degree in Geology from the State University of New York at Oneonta;
2. 1990 - Present: performance of numerous wetland identifications and delineations in the
Piedmont and mountains of North Carolina;
3. 1999: completion of a Wetland Delineation Course sponsored by NC State University
Department of Forestry;
4. 2000 - Present: performance of numerous threatened and endangered species evaluations in the
Piedmont and mountains of North Carolina;
5. Completion of the following related courses sponsored by various agencies including but not
limited to, NC State University, NC Onsite Wastewater Branch, and the NC Cooperative
Extension Service: Soils 101 (2000), Expansive Clay Mineralogy (2000); Advanced Hydric
Soils Workshop (1998), and; Hydric Soils Workshop (1997).

Related experience includes site assessments for the suitability of onsite wastewater systems,
stormwater permitting, and soil and groundwater assessments of contaminant spills and leaks.
2.0 DELINEATION METHODS
This wetland delineation is based on the '87 Manual. A "routine level 2" delineation was chosen
as the preferred method for the subject site. A routine level 2 delineation consists of a review of
existing data and an onsite inspection.
2.1 Transects and Sample Points
A total of five wetlands and/or special aquatic sites were identified. These areas are relatively small
and one transect per site was chosen. Four vegetation communities, two in the wetlands and two in
the uplands were identified. Sample points were selected along the transects in each plant
community observed in the field. Where all wetland criteria were present, additional sample points
were added within the same community to determine wetland boundaries. Sample points are marked
in the field with orange surveyor's flags and labeled with the sample point number, date, and the
delineator's initials (PHD). Sample point locations and some site features (e.g. streams and road
crossings) were located in the field using a hand-held Global Satellite Positioning System receiver
(GPS) with an accuracy of ±15 meters and transferred to the topographic map using MapTechT"'
software. Sample point locations and wetland boundaries were then transferred to a site survey
provided by Atlantic Plan based on their relative locations to known reference points. Observations
made at each sample point were recorded on "Data Forms"„ as found in the `87 Manual. Copies
of the Data Forms are available on request.
2.1.1 Vegetation Identification
Plant species were identified in the field and from samples collected in the field based on the
manuals referenced in §6.0.
2.1.2 Hydric Soil Identification
Hydric soils were identified by observation of soil profiles to a maximum depth of 24 inches.
Hydric soil indicators found in the `87 Manual were used during observation of soil profiles in the
field. An indicator dye (a-a', dipyridil) was used to indicate reducing conditions in the soil profiles.
2.1.3 Wetland Hydrology Identification
Primary wetland hydrologic indicators, such as groundwater or saturated soil within 12 inches of
the surface, were evaluated in auger borings or shovel pits to a maximum depth of 24 inches that
were allowed to remain open for a period of not less than 1 hour. Other primary and secondary
indicators of wetland hydrology were evaluated at each sample point. No stream gauge data was
obtained for this delineation.

2.2 Sources of Existing Data
Existing data reviewed or used in this delineation include, USGS topographic maps (see Figure 1),
Watauga County aerial photographs (Figure2), and National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps. The
delineation base map (Sheet 2) was provided by Atlantic Plan.
3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Description of Site
The study site encompasses 21.12 acres on the north side of Laurel Creek. Laurel Creek is a first
order tributary of the Watauga River, which it joins 2.16 miles to the northwest. Figures 1 and 2
show the site and surrounding area on topographic and aerial photographs.
3.1.1 Topography and Hydrology
The southern portion of the study site lies within the floodplain of Laurel Creek. The majority of
the site occupies the uplands north of Rominger Road, which nearly parallels Laurel Creek. Laurel
Creek drops =1.9 ft/100 ft to the north-northwest through the study site. The majority of the
drainage from the uplands of the subject property to Laurel Creek is via two drainage valleys, which
terminate in a pond. The pond is formed by an earthen dam and the spillway from the pond
discharges below the dam and forms a narrow, shallow intermittent stream that flows southward
down a steep slope. The slope is interrupted by a series of ledges apparently formed by bedrock.
The intermittent stream is piped beneath Rominger Road and discharges in the floodplain of Laurel
Creek. The elevation drop from the spillway of the pond to Rominger Road is approximately 56
feet over a horizontal distance of 280 feet or 20 ft/100 ft. The two drainage valleys drop 8.2 ft/100 ft
and 15.8 ft/100 ft, respectively. The subject site is located on the southwest flank of a northwest to
southeast trending ridge, which is named `Long Ridge' on the topographic map. Laurel Creek is
moderately incised, with stream bank heights ranging from 2 to 4 ft in the study area. The
intermittent tributary is very shallow, typically not deeper than a few inches and does not have a well
defined channel.
The wetlands delineated on the subject property are located in the floodplain of Laurel Creek, in the
two drainages above the pond and along the intermittent stream flowing from the pond to Rominger
Road (see Sheet 2). With the possible exception of the wetlands south of Rominger Road in the
floodplain of Laurel Creek, the wetlands appear to be manmade. That is, the earthen dam that
created the pond probably slowed the drainage enough to create wetlands upgradient from the pond.
The discharge from the pond is concentrated in a small area, which probably led to the formation of
the intermittent stream and adjacent small wetlands in the ledges on the slope to Rominger Road.
The wetlands south of Rominger Road may or may not have been present prior to piping of the

intermittent stream beneath the road. It appears that the natural drainage would concentrate in this
area whether or not the discharge is piped under the road.
3.1.2 Plant Communities
Four general plant communities were identified either in or adjacent to the wetlands. One of the
non-wetland communities is considered to be unnatural as it occurs in former agricultural fields.
One of the wetland areas extends into an upland forest. The wetland communities are all very
similar and will not be described in detail for this document. The dominant wetland species were
present in all wetland areas and are summarized in Table 3.1.2.
Table 3.1.2 Dominant Wetland Species
Common
Name Scientific Name Regional Wetland
Indicator Stratum/coverage
Kentucky fescue Festuca arundinacea FAC- Herbaceous/15-30%
Hairy umbrella
be Fuirena squanrosa OBL Herbaceous/25-50%
Soft rush Juncus cffusus FACW+ Herbaceous/25-50%
Wetland area B, on the south side of Rominger Road, contained the most varied suite of wetland
vegetation; however, Juncus and Fuirena dominated. Wetland Areas A, C, D, and E contained
predominantly Juncus and Fuirena. The dominant vegetation in the former agricultural fields (hay
and pasture) is fescue, wildflowers, timothy and clover. The upland forest north of wetland area E is
dominated by rhododenron and tulip poplars.
3.1.3 Soils
The observed soil profiles were relatively consistent with sandy clay loam to clay loam textures in
the top 18-inches. Gravel was common in the areas south of Rominger Road. Low chroma (s2)
redoximorphic features (redox features, formerly known as mottles) and Fe masses indicating a
depleted matrix were almost universally observed in the tope 12-I nches where hydric soils were
classified. Reducing conditions, as indicated by mild to strong reactions to the dye (see §2.1.2),
were observed in soil profiles that were inundated or saturated near the surface. Oxidized root
channels were observed within 12-inches of the surface in wetland area D. Soil profiles in the
upland areas were similar to the wetland areas; however, redox features, reducing conditions and
oxidized root channels were absent in the top 18-inches of soil.
3.1.4 Wetland Hydrology Criteria
Note: This delineation was performed following a period of 10 days of relatively dry conditions;
however, there were two significant storm systems in the North Carolina Mountains and Piedmont

in the first ten days of June 2005.
With the exception of wetland area A, surface water, outside of Laurel Creek and the intermittent
stream was observed in all of the wetland areas. Free water was observed in most of the wetland soil
borings with saturated soils above the free water. Overbank sediment (typically medium to coarse
sand) deposits were observed along the north bank of Laurel Creek. Sediment deposits were
observed on living vegetation and tree trunks in the forested portion of wetland area E and adjacent
to Laurel Creek.
3.1.5 Atypical Areas
The former agricultural fields adjacent to all wetland areas are atypical or `problem' areas since
natural vegetation does not exist. However, in all cases, these areas still exhibit wetland hydrology,
hydrie soils and wetland vegetation.
3.1.5 Existing Wetland Mapping
Based on our review of the NWI "Valle Crucis" quadrangle map, the pond is the only previously
delineated wetland within the study area.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1. Wetland Area and Types
Based on the results of this assessment approximately 1.32 acres of "riparian" (Mitsch &
Gosselink) or "palustrine forested, scrub-shrub, and emergent" (Cowardin) wetlands were
delineated. The wetland acreage total does not include the pond. The approximate wetland
boundaries and acreage are indicated on Sheet 2.
4.3. Required Permits
Based on current rules, if proposed impacts total more than 0.1 acres of wetland, the ACoE and the
NC DWQ must be notified. If proposed impacts total more than 0.3 acres, a 404 Water Quality
Certification is required along with a permit application. Mitigation of the impacts may also be
required.

DENR - WATER QUALITY
MTLANDS AND STaRMNATER 6RANCN
On May 9, 2005, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a
General 401 Water Quality Certification to impact 79 linear feet of perennial stream in the Vineyard at
Laurel Creek residential development, located off of Rominger Road, Laurel Creek Township, in Watauga
County. On June 14, 2005, Mr. Daryl Lamb of DWQ's Winston-Salem Regional Office, accompanied by
Mr. Eric Brewer of your office, conducted a site assessment at the above referenced location pursuant to
issuance of a 401 General Water Quality Certification. Based on observations made during this assessment,
Mr. Lamb determined that the information in your application does not accurately reflect the conditions at
the site nor does it fully describe the planned impacts to surface waters as depicted on your site plan. In
order that we may determine the scope and nature of the proposed impacts associated with your project and
your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, please provide seven (7) copies of the following
information:
1. A plan view of the entire site showing the delineation of all jurisdictional and isolated streams,
wetlands, and impoundments located on the site.
2. An amended application fully listing and describing all proposed impacts to jurisdictional and/or
isolated streams, wetlands, and impoundments that will occur as a result of your project.
3. Information detailing how you will comply with the requirements for compensatory mitigation if the
cumulative total of impacts to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet and/or the
cumulative total of wetland impacts equals or exceeds one acre.
Until the information requested in this letter is provided, I will request (by copy of this letter) that the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for DWQ
processing due to incomplete information (15A NCAC 2H.0507(h)). The processing of this application
will begin when the requested information is received. Please be advised that if your proposed activity is
subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), you must also receive a Section 401
Water Quality Certification from the N. C. Division of Water Quality before you begin any work.

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 proposed impact could not be avoided The proposed layout is such that the impacts
are necessary to access parts of the tract The road was changed to minimize impacts.
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.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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,
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 NCWRP 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 '%h?a?.enr.statr.nc.us`iicv%ctl,ands/strmtidc.l1lml.
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.
Impact less than 0.16 acres
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
