I RE: Hager Project Progress
Wilkes County, North Carolina
Dear Sirs:
As requested during the permitting process we have completed the final
mechanical clean-out of the pool below the Hager property. This work was completed on
August 23, 2006. We removed approximately 336 cubic feet of sediment during this
portion of the work. The pool was excavated to a cobble bottom as best as possible and
the sides of the pool (under water) were sloped to create a more stable situation. No
disturbance was done to the actual stream banks. The pool is approximately 3 feet deep,
as previous clean-out revealed. With this amount of sediment removal, our total amount
removed is 774.75 cubic feet of sediment. We have evaluated the stream and the cleaned
out areas are stabilizing nicely and there was much aquatic life noted in the stream. It
was a good decision to wait a little longer to excavate the pool in that we were able to
recover a good bit more sediment from the system in August than we would have been
;able to after our evaluation in May. It mast be noted that continued development in the
watershed is having an adverse effect on the stream and this is likely to worsen.

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.

SUBJECT: Haggar Project Pond and Stream Restoration Order, Unnamed Tributary South Yadkin River,
DWQ-20051940, Wilkes County
On
,behalf of the property owners, Quartermaster Environmental 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 applicant is requesting after-the-fact permits/certifications for an inline pond and for approval to clean out
sedimentation impacting the pond and a stream channel. The Division of Land Resources has issued a "Stream
Restoration Order" to address violations on the site.
Based on the information provided and our knowledge on the range of trout, we do not believe this project will
affect trout waters. We will not object to the stream cleaning project as proposed providing that natural stream
dimensions are not modified. We do not concur with inline ponds and prefer that offline ponds be built in order to
avoid the types of sediment impacts which have occurred. Inline ponds do not maintain geomorphic and biological
stream functions or provide aquatic life passage. If the pond is permitted by regulatory agencies, a minimum 7Q10
flow release should be required and provided by design. We recommend establishment or preservation of maximum
available undisturbed forested buffers around waters to reduce thermal impacts and to provide bank stability.
Buffers should be permanently preserved through deed restrictions or other enforceable methods. The dam should
melt Division of Laud Resources design requirements.
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.

RE: Hagar Project Revisions/Clarifications
Wilkes County, North Carolina
Dear Sirs:

WETLANDS AND STi WATER;B
BRANCH
In response to the timely review of our proposal and restoration plan for the Hagar
Project by Steve Tedder and George Smith and a very productive meeting on October 20,
2005. We would like to make the following revisions and/or clarifications:
1. Our survey and calculation of the amount of sediment in the stream was
accomplished by actually measuring the areas of accumulated sediment in the
channel. We started slightly above the upper pond dam and surveyed the stream
to the "pool" on the Guthrie property. We measured each small pocket of
sediment, depth (with a probe, so we could judge the color and consistency in an
attempt to identify where the sediment may have originated), length and width to
come up with a volume at each point. They ranged in size from .08 cubic feet to
23.9 cubic feet. We reviewed our survey data and we measured 28 locations in
the first 1200 feet of channel below the upper pond that we could get an accurate

measurement of accumulated sediment. (Refer to " Segment A" on the attached
map) Our proposal is to remove the sediment in this stream reach by hand (99.6
cubic feet). We will measure the volume recovered as we remove it and will
provide a report on the process when completed. The sediment will be taken to
the lower pond and placed in the pool area and stabilized.
2. In our meeting on October 20, 2005, we discussed the most effective sequence of
construction for this work We will propose the following sequence which we
believe will be the best approach to taking advantage of the activities in the
stream to catch and recover the most amount of sediment and result in the most
benefit.
a. We will propose to start by removing a significant volume of sediment
from the pool on Ms. Guthrie's property. (See "Point B" on attached map)
We will document and report the volume we remove, but will not include
this amount in the goal amount for recovery of 332 cubic feet. The reason
for this is to provide a "sediment trapping and recovery area" and to help
establish the original depth and size of the pool. We will propose this
activity be done in November 2005. This work will be done with a track
hoe and dump truck. The material recovered will be hauled to and placed
in the lower pond where it will be stabilized. The areas around the pool
will be stabilized immediately upon completion.
b. At this point we will move the track hoe to the upper pond and re-rout the
spillway pipe to the original channel. The pond water level will be
lowered prior to any excavation in the dam and all areas disturbed will be
stabilized as soon as completed.
c. Our third item to accomplish in the sequence will be the hand removal of
sediment in the 1200 foot reach of the stream. ( Refer to "Segment A" on
the attached map) This work will be done by hand and the areas disturbed
will be stabilized immediately. The sediment recovered will be measured,
reported and then placed in the lower pond area and stabilized.
d. Our fourth item to accomplish will be to monitor the pool ("Point B" on
the map attached) and plan a second recovery time for sediment from this
pool. This will vary somewhat based on rainfall and sediment load but we
propose the second clean out for January or February. This will again be
done with a track hoe and dump truck and the sediment recovered will be
measured and reported as well as placed in the lower pond and stabilized.

e. At this point in the sequence there will be some re-evaluation of our
approach based on the amount of sediment we have recovered and what
the condition of the stream is at this point. If we have reached our goal of
removal, 332 total cubic feet of sediment, we will restore the pool to as
close to original condition as possible and stabilize it. If the sediment
recovery goal has not been met, we will remove the accumulated sediment
from the pool, measure it and report it toward our goal total. Any areas
disturbed will be stabilized and we will continue to monitor the stream.
This point in the sequence will occur sometime in the May or early June
2005 timeframe.
3. We will stay in close contact with the Division of Water Quality while this work
is being done. We value there guidance and will gladly implement any
modifications or additions to the process. We will notify them one week prior to
the start of sediment removal for the pool and the stream at each point in the
sequence. We will also provide a report upon completion of each phase of the
project to aid in the monitoring of the recovery effort.
We are anxious to get started on the project and we are appreciative of the quick response
to our proposal. If there are any further concerns, comments or ideas we will be glad to
implement them. We want to make this a successful restoration project for the State as
well as the property owners. Please review or revisions and let us know if you have any
questions. Thank you for you consideration. You may contact me at any time at 704-

DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
Our company has been contacted to assist Ms. Rosaleen Haggar in regards to the
problems with lack of permits and the issue of sedimentation damage to the stream
associated with her property. We have been working some weeks now to survey the
amount of sediment deposited in the stream system as well as preparing maps for the
project.
The current situation and concerns seem to be:
1- The lack of 401 and 404 permits for the construction of one pond that has impacted
some 160' of stream channel.
2 - The fact that a considerable amount of off-site sedimentation occurred during the
construction of the pond and associated roads on the property.

3 - The fact that a second small pond, constructed in a dry hollow adjacent to the first
pond, is showing some signs of the dam being somewhat unstable. The primary concern
with this structure stems from the fact that the primary spillway is routed through this
pond.
4 - The Division of Land Resources has issued a "Stream Restoration Order". The
purpose of this document is to address that request along with addressing the DWQ and
permit violations at the same time. There will be much less than one acre of disturbance
in the restoration process and the site is currently stabilized. With this in mind, we do not
see the need in submitting a formal Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. Though we will
assure all interested, that we will follow the strict standards for erosion and sediment
control from this point forward in the restoration process.
Our solutions to these problems will be addressed as follows:
1- We are applying for after-the-fact 401 and 404 permits for the pond. And,
2 - We are proposing the following restoration plan for the stream damaged by off-site
sedimentation during construction.
3 - We are proposing to re-route the primary spillway of the upper pond directly into the
channel below the pond, and to leave the lower pond in place as a road fill and to act as a
storm water pond and sediment basin to provide protection during future construction or
development of the property. The outlet pipes through the lower structure appear to be of
adequate size for the drainage area flowing to this structure. The elimination of the base
stream flow through the lower pond and some additional stabilization work on it will
create a more stable structure.
EVALUATION PROCESS
1. We have completed a detailed survey of the accumulated sediment currently in
the system below the Haggar Property. In this survey we probed the deposits of
silt and sediment and based our measurements on color and silt characteristics to
provide a fair basis for establishing what amount of the sediment in the system
could actually be traced to the Haggar property.
2. We noticed some amount of gravel and gravel dust that we feel originated from
the State Maintained gravel road into the property. (Pores Knob Road)
3. Our survey started in the tributary above and adjacent to the upper pond to
provide us an example of the condition of the stream prior to construction.
4. We noted a distinct increase in the accumulation of silt below the project and
we measured the pockets of sediment that appeared to be most recent.
5. We should note that considerable amounts of aquatic insects and invertebrates
were noted during our survey, so the damage to the stream has certainly not
"killed" the system.

6. At a point some 1200' downstream, another similar size stream intersects with the
main channel. More sediment was noted below this point. This can be attributed
to less slope in the channel, allowing more settling and/or sediment coming from
other sources on the intersecting drainage area.
7. At the point 1200' downstream, we measured a total of 99.6 cubic feet of
sediment in the stream system that we could attribute to the Haggar project.
8. This point (1200') downstream is off of the Haggar property, very steep and
thickly vegetated. Any mechanized removal of sediment would be more harmful
than leaving it alone. Though some benefit could be gained from hand removal of
some of the pockets of sediment.
9. Our survey continued downstream for an additional 2800 feet. Two more smaller
tributaries intersect the channel. And the amount of accumulated sediment
increases. (Less slope and more areas contributing)
10. At a point approximately 4000' below the Haggar project there is a small pool.
(18' X 24" and oval in size) This pool is basically full of sediment as it acts
somewhat as an in-stream sediment basin. There is a stone ford-type crossing that
forms a dam of sorts in the stream. This could be a good point to recover some of
the sediment and prevent further migration of it downstream.
11. The amount of sediment in this pool is difficult to determine because of its depth
and size. We could not probe and evaluate the sediment because it would
immediately run out of the probe. Much finer silt.
12. At this point, we have measured an additional amount of 232.4 cubic feet of
accumulated sediment in the stream.
13. Sediment deposits were measured from 1/2 inch to 17 inches in depth to this point
and were scattered for the length of some 4000' from the project to the pool. We
measured an accumulated total of 332 cubic feet of sediment.
Restoration Plan
A. Our approach to restoration is simply to remove the amount of sediment we have
documented to be accumulated in the channel and to immediately stabilize any
and all areas disturbed during the removal process.
B. Removal of the sediment would be accomplished in two ways:
1. Removal by hand for the first 1200' of channel below the project. We
would propose to dig out and remove by hand 99.6 cubic feet of sediment
from the channel. This sediment would be carried to a level area, spread
and stabilized in place.
2. Removal by mechanized equipment at the point of the pool 4000' below
the project. We would propose to dig out 232.4 cubic feet of sediment
from the pool with a track hoe. We would haul the sediment offsite, to a
level area where it would be spread and stabilized in place.

flgk 3. The removal by hand would be completed at one time. The removal by
mechanical equipment may have to be completed in two or three phases
and based on monitoring and the amount of sediment that could be
removed each time.
Our approach may seem simple and simplistic, but the site conditions and the condition
of the stream make this approach the most feasible and in our opinion most effective way
to improve the condition of the stream. We will be glad to go into further detail if needed
or provide more specific information. One flaw with this approach will be that most of
the proposed work will involve other property owners and we will only be able to
complete this approach with their approval. Please review our proposal and provide
comments or approval as soon as possible so that we may begin the restoration process.

RE: Haggar Project
Wilkes County, North Carolina
DES WD SS
Y
Dear Sirs:
Our company has been contacted to assist Ms. Rosaleen Haggar in regards to the
problems with lack of permits and the issue of sedimentation damage to the strewn
associated with her property. We have been working some weeks now to survey the
amount of sediment deposited in the stream system as well as preparing maps for the
project.
The current situation and concerns seem to be:
1 - The lack of 401 and 404 permits for the construction of one pond that has impacted
some 160' of stream channel.
2 - The fact that a considerable amount of off-site sedimentation occurred during the
construction of the pond and associated roads on the property.

3 - The fact that a second small pond, constructed in a dry hollow adjacent to the first
pond, is showing some signs of the dam being somewhat unstable. The primary concern
with this structure stems from the fact that the primary spillway is routed through this
pond.
4 - The Division of Land Resources has issued a "Stream Restoration Order". The
purpose of this document is to address that request along with addressing the DWQ and
permit violations at the same time. There will be much less than one acre of disturbance
in the restoration process and the site is currently stabilized. With this in mind, we do not
see the need in submitting a formal Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. Though we will
assure all interested, that we will follow the strict standards for erosion and sediment
control from this point forward in the restoration process.
Our solutions to these problems will be addressed as follows:
1- We are applying for after-the-fact 401 and 404 permits for the pond. And,
2 - We are proposing the following restoration plan for the stream damaged by off-site
sedimentation during construction-
3 - We are proposing to re-route the primary spillway of the upper pond directly into the
channel below the pond, and to leave the lower pond in place as a road fill and to act as a
storm water pond and sediment basin to provide protection during future construction or
development of the property. The outlet pipes through the lower structure appear to be of
adequate size for the drainage area flowing to this structure. The elimination of the base
stream flow through the lower pond and some additional stabilization work on it will
create a more stable structure.
EVALUATION PROCESS
1. We have completed a detailed survey of the accumulated sediment currently in
the system below the Haggar Property. In this survey we probed the deposits of
silt and sediment and based our measurements on color and silt characteristics to
provide a fair basis for establishing what amount of the sediment in the system
could actually be traced to the Haggar property.
2. We noticed some amount of gravel and gravel dust that we feel originated from
the State Maintained gravel road into the property. (Pores Knob Road)
3. Our survey started in the tributary above and adjacent to the upper pond to
provide us an example of the condition of the stream prior to construction.
4. We noted a distinct increase in the accumulation of silt below the project and
we measured the pockets of sediment that appeared to be most recent.
5. We should note that considerable amounts of aquatic insects and invertebrates
were noted during our survey, so the damage to the stream has certainly not
"killed" the system.

5. At a point some 1200' downstream, another similar size stream intersects with the
main channel. More sediment was noted below this point. This can be attributed
to less slope in the channel, allowing more settling and/or sediment coming from
other sources on the intersecting drainage area.
7. At the point 1200' downstream, we measured a total of 99.6 cubic feet of
sediment in the stream system that we could attribute to the Haggar project.
8. This point (1200') downstream is off of the Haggar property, very steep and
thickly vegetated. Any mechanized removal of sediment would be more harmful
than leaving it alone. Though some benefit could be gained from hand removal of
some of the pockets of sediment.
9. Our survey continued downstream for an additional 2800 feet. Two more smaller
tributaries intersect the channel. And the amount of accumulated sediment
increases. (Less slope and more areas contributing)
10. At a point approximately 4000' below the Haggar project there is a small pool.
(18' X 24" and oval in size) This pool is basically full of sediment as it acts
somewhat as an in-stream sediment basin. There is a stone ford-type crossing that
forms a dam of sorts in the stream.. This could be a good point to recover some of
the sediment and prevent further migration of it downstream
11. The amount of sediment in this pool is difficult to determine because of its depth
and size. We could not probe and evaluate the sediment because it would
immediately run out of the probe. Much finer silt.
12. At this point, we have measured an additional amount of 232.4 cubic feet of
accumulated sediment in the stream.
13. Sediment deposits were measured from 1/2 inch to 17 inches in depth to this point
and were scattered for the length of some 4000' from the project to the pool. We
measured an accumulated total of 332 cubic feet of sediment.
Restoration Plan
A Our approach to restoration is simply to remove the amount of sediment we have
documented to be accumulated in the channel and to immediately stabilize any
and all areas disturbed during the removal process.
B. Removal of the sediment would be accomplished in two ways:
1. Removal by hand for the first 1200' of channel below the project. We
would propose to dig out and remove by hand 99.6 cubic feet of sediment
from the channel. This sediment would be carried to a level area, spread
and stabilized in place.
2. Removal by mechanized equipment at the point of the pool 4000' below
the project. We would propose to dig out 232.4 cubic feet of sediment
from the pool with a track hoe. We would haul the sediment offske, to a
level area where it would be spread and stabilized in place.

3. The removal by hand would be completed at one time. The removal by
mechanical equipment may have to be completed in two or three phases
and based on monitoring and the amount of sediment that could be
removed each time.
Our approach may seem simple and simplistic, but the site conditions and the condition
of the stream make this approach the most feasible and in our opinion most effective way
to improve the condition of the stream. We will be glad to go into fin Cher detail if needed
or provide more specific information. One flaw with this approach will be that most of
the proposed work will involve other property owners and we will only be able to
complete this approach with their approval. Please review our proposal and provide
comments or approval as soon as possible so that we may begin the restoration process.
Thank you for you consideration. You may contact meat anytime at 704-473-5021.

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 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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmp,ide.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

RE: Haggar Project
Wilkes County, North Carolina
Dear Sirs:
Our company has been contacted to assist Ms. Rosaleen Haggar in regards to the
problems with lack of permits and the issue of sedimentation damage to the stream
associated with her property. We have been working some weeks now to survey the
amount of sediment deposited in the stream system as well as preparing maps for the
project.
The current situation and concerns seem to be:
1 - The lack of 401 and 404 permits for the construction of one pond that has impacted
some 160' of stream channel.
2 - The fact that a considerable amount of off-site sedimentation occurred during the
construction of the pond and associated roads on the property.

3 - The fact that a second small pond, constructed in a dry hollow adjacent to the first
pond, is showing some signs of the dam being somewhat unstable. The primary concern
with this structure stems from the fact that the primary spillway is routed through this
pond.
4 - The Division of Land Resources has issued a "Stream Restoration Order". The
purpose of this document is to address that request along with addressing the DWQ and
permit violations at the same time. There will be much less than one acre of disturbance
in the restoration process and the site is currently stabilized. With this in mind, we do not
see the need in submitting a formal Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. Though we will
assure all interested, that we will follow the strict standards for erosion and sediment
control from this point forward in the restoration process.
Our solutions to these problems will be addressed as follows:
1- We are applying for after-the-fact 401 and 404 permits for the pond. And,
2 - We are proposing the following restoration plan for the stream damaged by off-site
sedimentation during construction.
3 - We are proposing to re-route the primary spillway of the upper pond directly into the
channel below the pond, and to leave the lower pond in place as a road fill and to act as a
storm water pond and sediment basin to provide protection during future construction or
development of the property. The outlet pipes through the lower structure appear to be of
adequate size for the drainage area flowing to this structure. The elimination of the base
stream flow through the lower pond and some additional stabilization work on it will
create a more stable structure.
EVALUATION PROCESS
1. We have completed a detailed survey of the accumulated sediment currently in
the system below the Haggar Property. In this survey we probed the deposits of
silt and sediment and based our measurements on color and silt characteristics to
provide a fair basis for establishing what amount of the sediment in the system
could actually be traced to the Haggar property.
2. We noticed some amount of gravel and gravel dust that we feel originated from
the State Maintained gravel road into the property. (Pores Knob Road)
3. Our survey started in the tributary above and adjacent to the upper pond to
provide us an example of the condition of the stream prior to construction.
4. We noted a distinct increase in the accumulation of silt below the project and
we measured the pockets of sediment that appeared to be most recent.
5. We should note that considerable amounts of aquatic insects and invertebrates
were noted during our survey, so the damage to the stream has certainly not
"killed" the system.

6. At a point some 1200' downstream, another similar size stream intersects with the
main channel. More sediment was noted below this point. This can be attributed
to less slope in the channel, allowing more settling and/or sediment coming from
other sources on the intersecting drainage area.
7. At the point 1200' downstream, we measured a total of 99.6 cubic feet of
sediment in the stream system that we could attribute to the Haggar project.
8. This point (1200') downstream is off of the Haggar property, very steep and
thickly vegetated. Any mechanized removal of sediment would be more harmful
than leaving it alone. Though some benefit could be gained from hand removal of
some of the pockets of sediment.
9. Our survey continued downstream for an additional 2800 feet. Two more smaller
tributaries intersect the channel. And the amount of accumulated sediment
increases. {Less slope and more areas contributing)
10. At a point approximately 4000' below the Haggar project there is a small pool.
(18' X 24" and oval in size) This pool is basically full of sediment as it acts
somewhat as an in-stream sediment basin. There is a stone ford-type crossing that
forms a dam of sorts in the stream. This could be a good point to recover some of
the sediment and prevent fiuther migration of it downstream_
11. The amount of sediment in this pool is difficult to determine because of its depth
and size. We could not probe and evaluate the sediment because it would
immediately run out of the probe. Much finer silt.
12. At this point, we have measured an additional amount of 232.4 cubic feet of
accumulated sediment in the stream.
13. Sediment deposits were measured from 1/2 inch to 17 inches in depth to this point
and were scattered for the length of some 4000' from the project to the pool. We
measured an accumulated total of 332 cubic feet of sediment.
Restoration Plan
A. Our approach to restoration is simply to remove the amount of sediment we have
documented to be accumulated in the channel and to immediately stabilize any
and all areas disturbed during the removal process.
B. Removal of the sediment would be accomplished in two ways:
1. Removal by hand for the first 1200' of channel below the project. We
would propose to dig out and remove by hand 99.6 cubic feet of sediment
from the channel. This sediment would be carried to a level area, spread
and stabilized in place.
2. Removal by mechanized equipment at the point of the pool 4000' below
the project. We would propose to dig out 232.4 cubic feet of sediment
from the pool with a track hoe. We would haul the sediment offske, to a
level area where it would be spread and stabilized in place.

3. The removal by hand would be completed at one time. The removal by
mechanical equipment may have to be completed in two or three phases
and based on monitoring and the amount of sediment that could be
removed each time.
Our approach may seem simple and simplistic, but the site conditions and the condition
of the stream make this approach the most feasible and in our opinion most effective way
to improve the condition of the stream. We will be glad to go into further detail if needed
or provide more specific information. One flaw with this approach will be that most of
the proposed work will involve other property owners and we will only be able to
complete this approach with their approval. Please review our proposal and provide
comments or approval as soon as possible so that we may begin the restoration process.
Thank you for you consideration. You may contact meat anytime at 704-473-5021.

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 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
httr)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmp,ide.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

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).
