Culvert Removal and Stream Restoration
USACE Nationwide Permit 27 #SAW 2017-02281 and
NCDWR General Certification #18-0765-V2
Dear Mr. Brown and Mr. Mitchell:
The applicant, High Hampton Resort, LLC has received after -the -fact authorization for 8801f of
stream impacts associated with removal of a culvert and stream restoration activities at a tract of
land (PIN 7571-96-2363) known as the High Hampton Resort at 1525 NC Highway 107 South in
Cashiers, Jackson County, North Carolina. The following monitoring program is proposed in order
to satisfy the conditions of the NWP 27 (SAW 2017-02281) issued on April 25, 2019 and DWR
401 Water Quality Certification (DWR# 18-0765-V2) issued on March 22, 2019.
Monitoring Plan
Clearwater Environmental Consultants (CEC) will conduct geomorphic monitoring and visual
documentation of the 700 LF reach UTI to Fowler Creek (hereafter referred to as UT1) as shown
in the Project Vicinity Map (Figure 1). Geomorphic monitoring of stream dimension will include
a survey of four (4) stream cross-sections. The cross-section surveys will be located as indicated
on the Monitoring Features Map (Figure 2), with three representative "riffle" cross sections and
one representative "run" cross-section. The cross-sections will be monumented with permanent
capped rebar pins on each bank to serve as a spatially referenced control. The cross-section surveys
will be repeated annually using a laser -level, reel tape, and stadia rod. Photographs of each cross
section facing upstream and downstream will be taken on the day of monitoring. The location of
these control pins will be recorded with a sub -meter accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS)
device.
Photographic reference points (photo -points) will be used to visually document stream conditions
and will include both a downstream facing photo and an upstream facing photo at each photo
reference point. Photo -points will be established at five (5) stations along the length of the 700 ft
UTI reach. The photo -points will be recorded with a sub -meter accuracy GPS and monumented
with a wooden stake.

The photographer will make a reasonable attempt to capture the same perspective in each photo -
point location annually. Please refer to Figure 2 for the proposed locations of all monitoring
features.
Report Preparation and Submittal
CEC will prepare three (3) annual monitoring reports containing all gathered survey and
photographic data beginning in 2019 and spanning through 2022. The annual monitoring summary
will include an assessment of the stream bank and streambed stability, and would indicate any
failure of structures, stream banks or stream bed if necessary, that may require repairs or
replacement. The reports will be submitted by December 31 of each year to USACE and DWR in
accordance with their standards for stream monitoring.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-698-9800 if you have any questions or comments.
