DENR - WATER QUALITY
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Colffliti2SIL)STOP.?,,ATE BR;,ItH
Dear Mr. Wiseman:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed
below, to place fill within or otherwise impact 3,400 feet of streams for the purpose of
streambank stabilization and woody debris removal / trash removal at the subject
properties, as described within your application received by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on August 31, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3367
(3367). The Certification (s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 37 when issued by
the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition, you should obtain or otherwise
comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with
your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Non-discharge,
and stormwater regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed
impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall
expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose that you described in your application. (Nothing in this
approval should be interpreted as giving permission to remove bedload material
from the existing channel, nor allowing for the construction of berms which
would not allow the stream access to it's floodplain.) As "stable" and "pre-storm"
are not interchangeable terms, all work must be to ensure stability, regardless of
channel location. Additionally, channels cannot be returned to it's pre-storm location
unless there is documented instability is submitted and approved as part of the
application package. If you change your project beyond the approval here, you must
notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. 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 fills for this project (now or
in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval
requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.

The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific
and general conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met.
No other impacts are approved including incidental impacts:
Amount
Approved (Units) Plan Location or Reference
Stream 3,400 feet Three Mile Creek
2. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices
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.
3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
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.
Avery County:
Page3 of6
September S, 2005
4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters
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
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
5. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification
or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is
required to return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit,
North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC,
27699-1650.
6. Construction in this creek and disturbance within a 25-foot trout buffer, where
applicable, should be avoided during the October 15 to April 15 trout spawning
period to avoid adverse effects of sediment on eggs and larvae, where applicable.
However, Wildlife Resources Commission will not object to construction of Natural
Resources Conservation Service "urgent and compelling" sites during the spawning
period provided these projects are, to the extent appropriate and practical,
constructed by: (1) using flow diversion structures such as sand bags, (2) placing
large-sized rock toes and filter cloth backing for stabilization sites before backfilling,
and (3) excavating new channel alignments in dry areas. Construction at the other
non-"urgent and compelling" sites should not occur during the spawning period to
minimize the potential adverse effects of multiple construction activities on trout
resources in this creek.
7. Sediment and erosion control measures must be implemented prior to construction
and maintained on the sites to minimize sediment in downstream areas. Seeding for
a temporary cover of wheat, millet, or similar annual grain or permanent herbaceous
cover should occur on all bare soil within five (5) days of ground disturbing activities
to provide long-term erosion control. The projects should be accomplished in stages
instead of leaving large tracts exposed to further storm events. Erosion control
matting should be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in
steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes, or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall
fescue should not be used in riparian areas. In addition, because of an anticipated
difficulty in establishing ground cover during the winter, reseeding should be
conducted, as necessary, in the spring-time with a native annual and perennial seed
mix with a temporary nursery crop of wheat, millet or other grain.
Avery County:
Page4 of6
September S, 2005
8. Only clean, large, angular rock, large woody material, or other natural stream design
materials and techniques should be used for bank stabilization. Rock should not be
placed in the stream channel in a manner that constricts stream flow or that will
impede aquatic life movements during low flow conditions. Filter cloth should be
placed behind large rock that is used for bank stabilization. Properly designed rock
vanes should be constructed wherever appropriate on bank stabilization and
channel realignment stream reaches to improve channel stability and to improve
aquatic habitat. Root wads should be installed low enough in the bank so that a
significant portion (at least one-third) the root wad is inundated during normal flows.
9. The channel should be restored to a more stable condition. However, under no
circumstances should river rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the
stream channel under authorization of this permit except, if necessary, in the
immediate vicinity of the eroding banks for the explicit purpose of anchoring
stabilizing or flow/grade control structures or for reestablishing the natural
and more stable stream channel dimensions. Stream bed materials are unstable
in flowing-water situations and are unsuitable for bank stabilization. In stream
dredging has catastrophic effects on aquatic life and disturbance of the natural form
of the stream channel can cause downstream erosion problems. The natural
dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream upstream and downstream of the
permitted area should not be modified by widening the stream channel or changing
its depth.
10. Stabilization measures should only be applied on or near existing erosion sites,
leaving other stable stream bank areas in a natural condition. Grading and
backfilling should be minimized and tree and shrub growth should be retained where
possible to ensure long term availability of stream bank cover for aquatic life and
.wildlife. Backfill materials should be obtained from upland sites except in cases
where excess stream bed materials are available. Berms should not be permitted
because they block the floodplain, constrict and accelerate flood flows, and often fail
and sometimes impede drainage during large flood events.
11. Repairs to eroded banks should be conducted in a dry work area where possible.
Sandbags or other clean diversion structures should be used where possible to
minimize excavation in flowing water. Channel realignments should be constructed
by excavating the new channel from downstream to upstream before connecting it to
the old channel.
12. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank whenever possible. All
mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be inspected and
maintained regularly to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels,
lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials. Equipment used in stream
channel must be clean, new or low hour equipment.
13. Disturbed stream banks and a 25-foot vegetated zone, or the widest width that is
practical under the site conditions, should be restored along the construction sites to
natural riparian conditions with native trees and shrubs (e.g., silky dogwood,
rhododendron, dog hobble, red maple, silky willow, tag alder, black willow,
sycamore) to provide long-term bank stability and stream shading. Note, silky
dogwood, silky willow and black willow can be planted as live stakes collected during
the dormant growing season. Cuttings should be randomly planted 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
Avery County:
Page 5 of 6
September 8, 2005
seeded with a native annual and perennial seed mix with a temporary nursery crop
of wheat, millet or other grain.
14. If pasture along the stream is to be used for grazing, a fence must be constructed
outside of the riparian zone and the stream to prevent livestock from entering these
areas.
15. Diffuse Flow
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained
as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected riparian zones
such that it will not re-concentrate before discharging into a stream. If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered
to remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
16. Riparian Zone Replanting
Replanting of vegetation within disturbed areas located within 30 feet of the
streambank associated with any land disturbing activity, repair, replacement
and/or maintenance must be done in a manner consistant with the Guidelines
for Riparian Buffer Restoration immediately following construction. (Please
see attached.)
17. Deed Notifications
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained
jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective woody riparian zones in order to
assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These
mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or
buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization
Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the
401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of
the sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to this
project.
18. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 10 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be
exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 2B. .0200. Appropriate sediment and
erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard.
19. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands
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
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources or locally delegated program has released the project.

V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
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. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must 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.
Page 3 of 9
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts from this work will be
minimized whenever possible. However to accomplish these needed repairs impacts may be
realized from temporary increased turbidity, removal of aggraded bed material and temporary
loss of herbaceous vegetation. Long-term impacts will be an increase in stream bank
stability, stable dimension and profile, and improved vegetative cover.

Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
Access to each site will be over the most stable route possible and movement of vehicles over
access routes will be minimized. Wherever possible equipment work will be done from the
stream bank. Operating equipment within the channel will be done when this is the only wad
accomplish needed work. Excavated material will be moved directly to trucks for hauling to
disposal sites when it will not be used on site. When excavated material will be used on site it
will be handled as few times as possible. Work at each site will be accomplished as quickly as
possible and the site will be stabilized with erosion control matting and seeding within 5 days of
site completion. Trees will be planted during the next dormant season. Equipment leaking any
fluids will not be used and if leaks occur during construction the equipment will be replaced or
repaired immediately. Sediment and erosion control measures, including silt fence, stoned
entrances, protected stock pile areas, diversions and check dams, will be employed to minimize
sediment movement off site.
VIII. Mitigation
Page 5 of 9
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 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litm1.

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.
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
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Page 6 of 9
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ® No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and snap all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 3
2 1.5
Total
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
Page 7 of 9
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss Stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
There will be no change in impervious acreage. Existing project sites are agricultural lands and
will remain in this land use. Proposed repair work will not alter runoff of stormwater from each
site. The end result of this proposed work will be stream banks that are better able to withstand
the erosive forces generated by storm flows.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
N/A, waste water will not be generated by this project
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No N
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No N
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Summary Evaluation of Conditions:
This site has been divided into two distinct reaches. Reach 1 begins immediately downstream from Garmon Ln. and
extends approximately 1200' downstream where it ends in the vicinity of an old barn. This reach has experienced
moderate-severe bank erosion and debris deposition throughout.. Approximately 250' downstream from Garmon Lane
a small dam was breached and much of impoundment has been eroded. Moving downstream approximately 200',
deposition has accumulated in the channel, and a headcut is propagating upstream through the channel bed.
Aproximately 250' downstream from this point more deposition has occurred followed by another headcut. Reach 2
begins approximately 500' upstream from the High Top Rd culvert and ends at this culvert. This reach experienced
severe bank erosion and it is threatening to undercut a driveway to the Fisher residence.
Recommendations for Repair:
Prior to performing any clearing, grubbing or debris removal activities, inventory, under engineer approval, any
adequate root wad or transplant material. These items should be stockpiled; then installed or transported at the
appropriate time.
In reach 1, armor left channel bank with Class 1 rip rap and grade right bank to stable 2:1 slope in the vicinity of
breached dam. Remove debris from existing channel. Compact, seed, mat, and live stake. Make profile adjustments
in the vicinity of stream deposition as per "Reach 1 Profile Design." Install a double drop cross vane at Sta -14+42.
For Reach 2, armor channel bank with Class 1 rip rap and grade right bank to stable 2:1 slope. Seed, mat, and
livestake. Install bare root and container plantings along stream corridor. Install one rock vane and one cross vane.
All work should be performed in conformance with the "Erosion & Sediment Control Plan" (see attach

DSR No. TMC-3 Location: Adjacent to Prison Camp Road.
Site Assessed By: KSM, JBG County: Avery
Date Assessed: 5/25/2005
Lat.: 35° 59' 32" / Long.: 81 ° 58' 06"
Length of Approximately 4300 feet Three Mile Creek (1.63 mil)
Assessment: Waterbody:
_ Debris removal Channel realignment X Seeding
X Bank sloping X In-stream structures X Adjust channel dimension
X Bank stabilization X Riparian planting
Summary Evaluation of Conditions:
This site begins upstream with an unnamed tributary (UT) of Three Mile Creek. The damaged reach begins
approximately 700' upstream of Prison Camp Road on the UT. The UT experienced severe bank erosion, and just
upstream of the Prison Camp Rd. culvert major deposition occurred. The UT continues dowstream and joins Three
Mile Creek about 200' downstream from the culvert. This section has severely eroded banks, which destroyed a
culvert on the 3 Mile Farms, LLC property. This culvert provided access to the south side of the property. Just
downstream from the old culvert, major deposition has settled in the stream near a horse arena on the 3 Mile Farms
property. Continuing downstream through the Youth Camp and Three Mile Highway (2700'), several areas have
moderate to severe bank erosion and widening of the channel.
Recommendations for Repair:
Prior to performing any clearing, grubbing or debris removal activities, inventory, under engineer approval, any
adequate root wad or transplant material. These items should be stockpiled; then installed or transported at the
appropriate time.
This site is divided into four reaches (See Recommendations for Repair Figures). Reach 1 is located at the most
upstream extent, just upstream of Prison Camp Road. Repairs to this reach will involve cross sectional adjustments
(See Cross Section Design X1). Once grading is complete, seed and live stake stream banks.
Reach 2 begins approximately 200' downstream from Prison Camp Road. Repairs to this reach will involve cross
sectional adjustments and landscaping. The cross section data (X2) shows adjustment to the cross section channel
geometry. Once grading is complete, seed and live stake stream banks. Install ford stream crossing at location of
damaged culvert.
Reach 3 is located adjacent to the vacant youth camp. Repairs to this reach will involve stream bank grading, boulder
structure installation, seeding, live staking and bare root planting. See "Recommendations for Repair" figure for
location of repairs.
Reach 4 is the most downstream extent of this site, just upstream from Three Mile Highway (NC HWY 194). Repairs
to this reach will involve cross sectional adjustment and boulder structure installation. The cross section data (X3)
shows adjustment to the cross section channel geometry. Once grading is complete, seed and live stake stream
banks. See the "Recommendations for Repairs" figure for placement of the boulder structures.
All work should be performed in conformance with the "Erosion & Sediment Control Plan" (see attach

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
Emergency Watershed Protection Program
Avery County
The following erosion and sediment control measures will be incorporated into all stream
repair sites.
1. The Contractor shall minimize vegetation disturbance by only working on the
stream bank and channel that is in need of repair. Existing buffers shall not be
disturbed unless directed by the designer.
2. The Contractor shall only enter the stream channel as shown on the plans or
directed by the designer. These stream accesses shall conform to the design
standards shown in the attached detail drawings. Timber mats may be used as a
substitute for rock per the approval of the designer.
3. The Contractor shall limit all bank and channel disturbance to activities that can
be completed by the end of each working day such that the work would remain in
place during an overnight storm event.
4. All equipment and uninstalled materials shall be removed from the channel at the
end of each working day and secured safely from potential out-of-bank flow
events that may occur prior to performing additional work.
5. Graded stream banks shall be stabilized with temporary and permanent seed and
coir fiber matting at the end of each working day. Seeding and coir fiber
matting specifications are included with this plan.
6. Stockpiles shall remain at least fifteen feet from flowing water and outside of the
top of bank. Silt fence shall be placed at the base of the stockpile between the
stockpile and the channel and must function to receive stockpile runoff before
entering the channel. Silt fence shall conform to design standards shown in the
detail drawings.
7. Temporary vegetation and permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be established
on all disturbed areas not already stabilized with matting, within five days after
construction is completed.
8. Permanent woody vegetations species are listed in the vegetation specifications;
planting details are also included.
Buck Engineering 1 of 8 River Works
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Veactation Planting
General Seeding
Seeding should be done immediately upon completion of final grading. Apply seed prior
to installing matting. Prepare the soil surface so that it is smooth and free from stones,
clods, or debris that will prevent the contact of the matting with the soil. Fertilizer and
lime are generally not necessary on most projects, particularly not on sites that have been
used for agriculture production or cattle grazing. Urban soils may require amendments.
Seed should be broadcast with a centrifugal seeder or by hand, at the full rate along
stream banks and in stockpile areas. In all areas where permanent seeding is used in
addition to the temporary seed, mixing of the seed for broadcasting is acceptable. Seed
and amendments (if needed) should be covered to a depth of 1/2 to 1 inch with soil by
using a hand rake, drag or other tillage equipment.
Seeding may also be done with a hydroseeder. Wood cellulose fiber will not be
acceptable as a substitute for straw mulch. A suitable tracer shall be used to clearly
identify areas hydroseeded. A minimum of 500 lbs. per acre of wood cellulose fiber or a
non-toxic water base dye may be used as a tracer. Seed shall not remain in water
containing fertilizer more than 45 minutes before being used. All products used to
hydroseed shall be non-toxic to aquatic organisms.
Temporary Seeding
For temporary seeding, apply the following vegetation at the listed rates and times.
Temporary Seeding (September to March):
Rye grain 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft or 1301bs per acre
Temporary Seeding (April to August):
Foxtail Millet 1 lb per 1,000 sq ft or 40 lbs per acre
A combination of the two temporary seed types shall be used during the boundary months
of March, April, August and September to ensure survival. In all disturbed areas where
no permanent seed is being used (i.e. yard or agricultural field) and temporary seed is not
desired at the higher rate, broadcast temporary seed at the lower rate of approximately 1/2
the full lbs/acre stocking rate. When used in conjunction with permanent seed mix, apply
at %2 the full lbs/acre rate.
Permanent Seeding
Permanent seeding will be accomplished using the mix listed below:

Trees shall be planted as either bare rooted or containerized material. Trees should be
planted at a rate of 400 stems/acre (roughly 10 feet on center) where EWP repairs have
been accomplished. Planting of this material will be done during the dormant season
(late fall and winter of 2005-2006). Refer to the attached details and specifications for
more information.
Stream banks
Live Staking
Species used for live staking shall be taken from the following species:
Scientific name Common name
Cornus anzomum Silky Dogwood
Salix sericea Silky Willow
Sambucus canadensis Elderberry
Cephalanthus occidentalis Buttonbush
Salix nigra Black Willow
Stake at 2-3 foot spacing on the outside of all meander bends. Stake at 6-7 foot spacing
on the inside of meander bends and all tangent sections. Note this is appropriate for most
rural systems. Urban or flashy systems should be staked at higher rates. Utilize as
diverse a species group as feasible and make sure that black willow constitutes less than
25% of total stakes used.
Containerized Plants:
Containerized shrub material may also be used on the stream banks to increase the
diversity. Applications and spacing should reflect that of live stake material.
Mulching
Mulching shall be used to provide temporary protection of soil surfaces from erosion.
Mulching should be performed within 48 hours of seeding. Grain straw mulch should be
applied on seeded areas at a rate of 75 bales per acre. Apply mulch uniformly.
Buck Engineering 4 of 8 River Works
Erosion Control Matting
Ecostakcs
Provide wooden stake not less than 12 in. (300 mm) in length with a notch cut 1 in. (25
mm) from the top. These stakes shall be used to stake the matting along the slopes.
Wooden 3 ft. stakes spaced approximately 4 ft. apart shall be used to secure the matting
at the toe of slope. The toe stakes shall have a minimum 1-inch by 1-inch cross-section
and shall be designed so that the matting can not slide past the exposed end of the stake.
Refer to the attached details and specifications for EWP work for more information.
Coir Fiber Matting
The erosion control matting shall be a machine-produced mat of 100% coconut fiber with
the following properties:
Matrix 100% Coconut Fiber
Weight 20 oz/SY (678 gm/m2)
Tensile Strength 1348 x 6261b/ft minimum (1650.5 x 766.5 kg/m)
Elongation 34% x 38%
Open Area (measured) 50%
Thickness 0.30 in minimum (7.6 mm)
Flexibility (mg --cm) 65030 x 29590
Recommended Flow 11 feet/second (3.35 m/s)
Size 6.6 x 164 ft (120 SY) or (100 SM)
"C" Factor 0.002
Place the coir fiber matting immediately upon final grading. Provide a smooth soil
surface free from stones, clods, or debris that will prevent the contact of the matting with
the soil. Apply seed prior to installing matting. Begin at the bottom of the slope by
anchoring the matting in a 6-inch (15 cm) deep by 6-inch (15 cm) wide trench. Backfill
and compact the trench after staking. Walking backward down the stream, allow the
matting to unroll slowly; ideally the matting roll will rest against your shin as you walk.
Stake the matting according to recommended stake pattern for specific product and slope.
(See stake pattern guide that comes with the product.) Place matting in full contact with
the soil.
The edges of the parallel matting must be staked with approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of
overlap such that the edge of the downstream matting is under the one just upstream.
When matting must be spliced down the slope, place matting end over end (shingle style)
with approximately 6 inches overlap. Drive stakes through the overlapped area.
Place stakes across the matting at ends, junctions and trenches approximately 1.3 ft apart.
Place stakes along the outer edges, down the center of each strip of matting and along all
lapped edges approximately 2 ft apart. Cut excess matting and anchor at the end of the
slope.
Buck Engineering 5 of 8 River Works
Temporary Stream Access Ramps
Stream access ramps shall be constructed using either rock or timber mats in locations as
shown on the plans or as directed. Grading shall be performed only to the extent needed
to form a stable ramp connecting the stream bank grade to the streambed. The Contractor
shall determine the appropriate number of timber mats and ramp angle according to the
equipment that will be using the ramp. Stream access ramps are temporary and shall be
removed and the areas restored to their original state when they are no longer needed or
permanent measures are installed.
Sediment Fence
Geotextile sediment fences shall be used to trap sediment from areas of limited runoff.
Sediment fences shall be properly anchored to prevent erosion under them. These works
are temporary and shall be removed and the areas restored to their original state when
they are no longer needed or permanent measures are installed. Locations for sediment
filters are shown on the plans. Refer to sediment fence specifications (6.62) in the NC
Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual for material and installation
requirements.
Gravel Construction Entrance/Exit
Temporary gravel construction entrances shall be constructed as shown on the plans and
according to specification 6.06 of the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual.
In-stream Structures
In-stream structures include w-weirs, cross vanes, j-hook vanes, log vanes, and wing
deflectors. The quantity of in-stream structures to be constructed shall follow approved
plans, but may be affected by conditions encountered during construction
Boulders used for in-stream structures shall be relatively flat on either side in the same
dimension, preferably the long dimension, and must have relatively smooth ends. No
more than 5% of the boulders shall be smaller than 3'x2'x2'. Boulders larger than
6'x4'x3' shall be permitted. Boulders found on-site and approved for use by the
Developer will be used to the extent feasible.
The Contractor shall construct in-stream structures with equipment capable of moving
and accurately placing boulders of approximate dimensions 6'x4'x3'. If suitable for
backfill, excavated material shall be placed on the upstream side of structures or as
directed. Unless otherwise approved by the Developer, excavation to prepare the
subgrade for the installation of in-stream structures shall be consecutive and continuous.
Once the excavation of a structure has begun, the structure shall be completed by the end
of the workday. All equipment shall be removed from the stream at the end of each
workday. Any accumulation of sediment in the channel shall be cleaned as needed
during construction and at the end of construction. No separate payment will be made for
this clean-up work.
Buck Engineering 6 of 8 River Works
Construction Sequence of Events

The following list of DSR's were reviewed by Jim Errante, NRCS Cultural Resources Specialist (CRS). A
literature search for each planed practice location took place in the Archaeological Map room of the NC Office
of State Archaeology. Each location was reviewed for the potential of NRCS planned activities to effect
cultural resources (CR's). In addition, photographs of the APE's were reviewed and discussions were held
with knowledgeable field office and the engineering staff in order to determine the potential of planned
activities to effect CR's at each EWP practice location. Each practice location received a ranking of a low,
medium or high potential to effect CR's.
All EWP practice locations receiving a medium or high ranking to effect cultural resources were
archeologically surveyed by the NRCS CRS. Archaeological survey procedures included reconnaissance
survey of all visible soils in the area including river bank profiles, and shovel testing. All shovel tested soils
were screened through 1/4 inch hardware mesh. The following Excel file list of EWP locations includes a
statement describing the results of this survey work. The NRCS CRS maintains the field work details of the
archaeological survey at each APE. Any questions concerning the results of these survey results as listed
below should contact the NRCS CRS for further explanation.

mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Page 3 of 9
I . Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts from this work will be
minimized whenever possible. However to accomplish these needed repairs impacts maybe
realized from temporary increased turbidity, removal of aggraded bed material and temporary
loss of herbaceous vegetation. Long-term impacts will be an increase in stream bank
stability, stable dimension and profile and improved vegetative cover.

5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
Access to each site will be over the most stable route possible and movement of vehicles over
access routes will be minimized. Wherever possible equipment work will be done from the
stream bank. Operating equipment within the channel will be done when this is the only way to
accomplish needed work. Excavated material will be moved directly to trucks for hauling to _
disposal sites when it will not be used on site. When excavated material will be used on site it
will be handled as few times as possible. Work at each site will be accomplished as quickly as
possible and the site will be stabilized with erosion control matting and seeding within 5 days of
site completion. Trees will be planted during the next dormant season. Equipment leaking and
fluids will not be used and if leaks occur during construction the equipment will be replaced or
repaired immediately. Sediment and erosion control measures, including silt fence, stoned
entrances, protected stock pile areas, diversions and check dams, will be employed to minimize
sediment movement off site.
VIII. Mitigation
Page 5 of 9
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 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
httn://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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.
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
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No N If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; "Lone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
Page 7 of 9
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
There will be no change in impervious acreage. Existing project sites are agricultural lands and
will remain in this land use. Proposed repair work will not alter runoff of stormwater from each
site. The end result of this proposed work will be stream banks that are better able to withstand
the erosive forces generated by storm flows.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
N/A, waste water will not be generated by this project

Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Summary Evaluation of Conditions:
This site has been divided into two distinct reaches. Reach 1 begins immediately downstream from Garmon Ln. and
extends approximately 1200' downstream where it ends in the vicinity of an old barn. This reach has experienced
moderate-severe bank erosion and debris deposition throughout.. Approximately 250' downstream from Garmon Lane
a small dam was breached and much of impoundment has been eroded. Moving downstream approximately 200',
deposition has accumulated in the channel, and a headcut is propagating upstream through the channel bed.
Aproximately 250' downstream from this point more deposition has occurred followed by another headcut. Reach 2
begins approximately 500' upstream from the High Top Rd culvert and ends at this culvert. This reach experienced
severe bank erosion and it is threatening to undercut a driveway to the Fisher residence.
Recommendations for Repair:
Prior to performing any clearing, grubbing or debris removal activities, inventory, under engineer approval, any
adequate root wad or transplant material. These items should be stockpiled; then installed or transported at the
appropriate time.
In reach 1, armor left channel bank with Class 1 rip rap and grade right bank to stable 2:1 slope in the vicinity of
breached dam. Remove debris from existing channel. Compact, seed, mat, and live stake. Make profile adjustments
in the vicinity of stream deposition as per "Reach 1 Profile Design." Install a double drop cross vane at Sta -14+42.
For Reach 2, armor channel bank with Class 1 rip rap and grade right bank to stable 2:1 slope. Seed, mat, and
livestake. Install bare root and container plantings along stream corridor. Install one rock vane and one cross vane.
All work should be performed in conformance with the "Erosion & Sediment Control Plan" (see

Site Assessed By: KSM, JBG
Date Assessed: 5/25/2005
Location: Adjacent to Prison Camp Road.
County: Avery
Lat.: 35° 59' 32" / Long.: 81 ° 58' 06"
Length of Approximately 4300 feet
Assessment: Waterbody:
Debris removal Channel realignment
X Bank sloping X In-stream structures
X Bank stabilization X Riparian planting
Three Mile Creek (1.63 mi)
X Seeding
X Adjust channel dimension
Summary Evaluation of Conditions:
This site begins upstream with an unnamed tributary (UT) of Three Mile Creek. The damaged reach begins
approximately 700' upstream of Prison Camp Road on the UT. The UT experienced severe bank erosion, and just
upstream of the Prison Camp Rd. culvert major deposition occurred. The UT continues dowstream and joins Three
Mile Creek about 200' downstream from the culvert. This section has severely eroded banks, which destroyed a
culvert on the 3 Mile Farms, LLC property. This culvert provided access to the south side of the property. Just
downstream from the old culvert, major deposition has settled in the stream near a horse arena on the 3 Mile Farms
property. Continuing downstream through the Youth Camp and Three Mile Highway (2700'), several areas have
moderate to severe bank erosion and widening of the channel.
Recommendations for Repair:
Prior to performing any clearing, grubbing or debris removal activities, inventory, under engineer approval, any
adequate root wad or transplant material. These items should be stockpiled; then installed or transported at the
appropriate time.
This site is divided into four reaches (See Recommendations for Repair Figures). Reach 1 is located at the most
upstream extent, just upstream of Prison Camp Road. Repairs to this reach will involve cross sectional adjustments
(See Cross Section Design X1). Once grading is complete, seed and live stake stream banks.
Reach 2 begins approximately 200' downstream from Prison Camp Road. Repairs to this reach will involve cross
sectional adjustments and landscaping. The cross section data (X2) shows adjustment to the cross section channel
geometry. Once grading is complete, seed and live stake stream banks. Install ford stream crossing at location of
damaged culvert.
Reach 3 is located adjacent to the vacant youth camp. Repairs to this reach will involve stream bank grading, boulder
structure installation, seeding, live staking and bare root planting. See "Recommendations for Repair" figure for
location of repairs.
Reach 4 is the most downstream extent of this site, just upstream from Three Mile Highway (NC HWY 194). Repairs
to this reach will involve cross sectional adjustment and boulder structure installation. The cross section data (X3)
shows adjustment to the cross section channel geometry. Once grading is complete, seed and live stake stream
banks. See the "Recommendations for Repairs" figure for placement of the boulder structures.
All work should be performed in conformance with the "Erosion & Sediment Control Plan" (see attached

Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
Emergency Watershed Protection Program
Avery County
The following erosion and sediment control measures will be incorporated into all stream
repair sites.
1. The Contractor shall minimize vegetation disturbance by only working on the
stream bank and channel that is in need of repair. Existing buffers shall not be
disturbed unless directed by the designer.
2. The Contractor shall only enter the stream channel as shown on the plans or
directed by the designer. These stream accesses shall conform to the design
standards shown in the attached detail drawings. Timber mats may be used as a
substitute for rock per the approval of the designer.
3. The Contractor shall limit all bank and channel disturbance to activities that can
be completed by the end of each working day such that the work would remain in
place during an overnight storm event.
4. All equipment and uninstalled materials shall be removed from the channel at the
end of each working day and secured safely from potential out-of-bank flow
events that may occur prior to performing additional work.
Graded stream banks shall be stabilized with temporary and permanent seed and
coir fiber matting at the end of each working day. Seeding and coir fiber
matting specifications are included with this plan.
6. Stockpiles shall remain at least fifteen feet from flowing water and outside of the
top of bank. Silt fence shall be placed at the base of the stockpile between the
stockpile and the channel and must function to receive stockpile runoff before
entering the channel. Silt fence shall conform to design standards shown in the
detail drawings.
7. Temporary vegetation and permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be established
on all disturbed areas not already stabilized with matting, within five days after
construction is completed.
8. Permanent woody vegetations species are listed in the vegetation specifications;
planting details are also included.

Erosion Control Mattinf
Ecostakes
Provide wooden stake not less than 12 in. (300 mm) in length with a notch cut 1 in. (25
mm) from the top. These stakes shall be used to stake the matting along the slopes.
Wooden 3 ft. stakes spaced approximately 4 ft. apart shall be used to secure the matting
at the toe of slope. The toe stakes shall have a minimum 1-inch by 1-inch cross-section
and shall be designed so that the matting can not slide past the exposed end of the stake.
Refer to the attached details and specifications for EWP work for more information.
Coir Fiber Matting
The erosion control matting shall be a machine-produced mat of 100% coconut fiber with
the following properties:
Matrix 100% Coconut Fiber
Weight 20 oz/SY (678 gm/m2)
Tensile Strength 1348 x 626 lb/ft minimum (1650.5 x 766.5 kg/m)
Elongation 34% x 38%
Open Area (measured) 50%
Thickness 0.30 in minimum (7.6 mm)
Flexibility (mg --cm) 65030 x 29590
Recommended Flow 11 feet/second (3.35 m/s)
Size 6.6 x 164 ft (120 SY) or (100 SM)
"C" Factor 0.002
Place the coir fiber matting immediately upon final grading. Provide a smooth soil
surface free from stones, clods, or debris that will prevent the contact of the matting with
the soil. Apply seed prior to installing matting. Begin at the bottom of the slope by
anchoring the matting in a 6-inch (15 cm) deep by 6-inch (15 cm) wide trench. Backfill
and compact the trench after staking. Walking backward down the stream, allow the
matting to unroll slowly; ideally the matting roll will rest against your shin as you walk.
Stake the matting according to recommended stake pattern for specific product and slope.
(See stake pattern guide that comes with the product.) Place matting in full contact with
the soil.
The edges of the parallel matting must be staked with approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of
overlap such that the edge of the downstream matting is under the one just upstream.
When matting must be spliced down the slope, place matting end over end (shingle style)
with approximately 6 inches overlap. Drive stakes through the overlapped area.
Place stakes across the matting at ends, junctions and trenches approximately 1.3 ft apart.
Place stakes along the outer edges, down the center of each strip of matting and along all
lapped edges approximately 2 ft apart. Cut excess matting and anchor at the end of the
slope.
Buck Engineering 5 of 8 River Works
Construction Sequence of Events
Construction shall be performed at the EWP site in accordance with the plans and in
general accordance with the following sequence:
1. Mobilize equipment and materials to the site.
2. Set up construction access pads, staging areas, haul roads, and silt fences.
3. Install stream access ramps.

1835 Assembly St., Rm 950
Columbia SC 29201
Phone: [phone]
The following list of DSR's were reviewed by Jim Errante, NRCS Cultural Resources Specialist (CRS). A
literature search for each planed practice location took place in the Archaeological Map room of the NC Office
of State Archaeology. Each location was reviewed for the potential of NRCS planned activities to effect
cultural resources (CR's). In addition, photographs of the APE's were reviewed and discussions were held
with knowledgeable field office and the engineering staff in order to determine the potential of planned
activities to effect CR's at each EWP practice location. Each practice location received a ranking of a low,
medium or high potential to effect CR's.
All EWP practice locations receiving a medium or high ranking to effect cultural resources were
archeologically surveyed by the NRCS CRS. Archaeological survey procedures included reconnaissance
survey of all visible soils in the area including river bank profiles, and shovel testing. All shovel tested soils
were screened through'/4 inch hardware mesh. The following Excel file list of EWP locations includes a
statement describing the results of this survey work. The NRCS CRS maintains the field work details of the
archaeological survey at each APE. Any questions concerning the results of these survey results as listed
below should contact the NRCS CRS for further explanation.
