(Stream Restoration)
CDC Project No. 10512
Pleaselind enclosed a USACE permit application(Section 401 and 404.), a copy of the
Landowners Access Agreement application, a set of 3.5x11 plans , and a USGS Map excerpt
of the subject site for your review and approval.
The proposed project is a restoration effort in conjunction with the Emergency
Watershed Project to rebuild and stabilize various locally damaged streams to prevent further
erosion control problems to existing property and structures. Restoration with these projects
will consist of minimal streambed disturbance, debris removal and stream bank stabilization.
In an effort to be in construction as soon as possible and not jeopardize the funding for
these projects, we appreciate your expedited review of this application. We also welcome
comments by phone so that we can address your comments quickly and get into construction as
soon as possible.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
1. Name of project: Buncombe County EWP project
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only):
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 9618.05-09-6572, 9618.14-34-5112,
9618.10-37-1107
4. Location
County: Buncombe Nearest Town: Asheville .
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A
Directions to site (include road numbers/names, landmarks, etc.): refer to sheet Cl of each
individual set of plans
5. Site coordinates (For linear projects, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that
separately lists the coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
Decimal Degrees (6 digits minimum): refer to table 1 ON °W
6. Property size (acres): Multiple - see attached Table 1
7. Name of nearest receiving body of water: French Broad River
8. River Basin: French Broad
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at littp://li2o.eni-.stite.iic.us/a(iiiiiii/iilal)s /.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: All sites and the surrounding properties are currently used as
residential. The streams and stream banks were eroded during Hurricane Frances and Ivan.
The streams are aartially stable but need some minor uradine and erosion control measures to
fully stabilize the banks.
Page 6 of 13
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
These projects will all include using h? and tools to backfill eroding banks and to place large
deflector stones in the stream just above the bank full in most cases to have something to
backfill against. Dump trucks will be used to bring in backfill that will include a sandy clan
loam and rock mixture that will be compacted in lifts. Where dump trucks and track hoes
cannot gain access the contractors will be required to use hand tools. The large deflector
stones will act as a bench to backfill against and as toe of slope protection The large deflector
stones will also be used to stop undercutting and erosion in areas where tree roots are
exposed on the stream bank. A velocity dissipater will be installed using large rocks at the
bottom of an existing culvert.
Unwanted woody debris trash and materials will be removed from the streams and stream
banks using a track hoe where necessary and by hand where ever possible. Any trees that
have roots still embedded in the stream banks will be left in place and cut back to about 3'
tall.
All the banks for each site will be re-vegetated after construction. This will include using
hand rakes to get the banks ready to accept seeding. A Standard Riparian Seeding Mixture
will be used as permanent ground cover along with German Millet seed for temporary cover.
The mixture of seed will be spread and immediately covered with a coconut fiber temporary
erosion control blanket that will be installed by hand to the manufacturers' specifications. In
some cases Streameo Willows will be brought in and planted by hand after the above has
occurred for extra stream bank protection.
At all times contractors will use extreme measures to minimize impacts to the existing
streams. At no time will work be done without the proper erosion control measures in place
prior to construction. All work will be done by contractors who have previous experience
working with streams and erosion control.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
To prevent further erosion to stream banks and to aid in getting the streams back to an
equilibrium state.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe pei1111ts issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
Stream bank stabilization, debris removal, culvert replacement and re-vegetation
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to

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.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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://112o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmbide.litml.
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

stream clearing projects. Those letters went out over the Secretary's
signature on Friday. We will hand-deliver a memo containing the same
basic information to the mountain area legislators tomorrow. We are
also working with the Governor's Office on a news release; I am not sure
how soon that will go out. Give me a call if you have any questions.
Thanks for working toward getting meetings set up. Robin.

RE: Emergency Watershed Protection Stream-Clearing Projects
Dear
I know that County experienced stream damage as a result of the fall
hurricanes. Our department would like to work closely with your county to insure that
stream restoration projects receiving state and federal funds under the Emergency
Watershed Protection (EWP) program move as smoothly as possible through the
environmental review and permitting process. I have enclosed for your information a
brief summary of the types of permits and approvals that may be required for these
projects. For projects that involve work directly affecting the streambed, the United
States Army Corps of Engineers will be the primary environmental permitting agency.
For those projects, our staff in the Division of Water Quality and the Division of Land
Resources play a supporting role and issue related state approvals.
I have asked our staff to meet with all of the western counties, either individually or in
small groups, to talk about each county's proposed stream restoration projects and answer
your questions about permit requirements. Our staff will ask the Corps of Engineers and
Soil and Water Conservation staff to join in those meetings in an effort to put together a
plan of action for reviewing and approving stream restoration projects as quickly as
possible. You should receive a telephone call from DENR staff soon to talk about a date
and time that would be convenient to meet and talk about your projects.
I have also directed our staff to waive fees for state water quality certifications (under
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act) and for approval of erosion and sedimentation

February 25, 2005
Page 2 of 2
control plans for stream-clearing projects funded under EWP. Fees will be waived for all
EWP permit s requested by September 1, 2005.
I hope these efforts will ease the burden on county governments already challenged by
the demands of reconstruction and recovery. If we can help you in any other way, please
do not hesitate to call. I have asked Assistant Secretary Robin Smith to be a primary
contact on these projects for DENR; you can reach Ms. Smith at [phone]. The
enclosed information sheet also provides contact information for DENR staff in both the
Asheville and Winston-Salem Regional Offices and for the Corps of Engineers office in
Asheville.
Sincerely,
William G. Ross, Jr.
