Buncombe County Government
205 College Street
Asheville, NC 28801
Subject Property: Willow Creek (Aubrey Wells) - EWP
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Creighton:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed
below, to place fill within or otherwise impact 1,100 feet of streams for the purpose of
streambank stabilization at the subject properties, as described within your application
received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on November 30, 2005. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General
Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3376 (3376). 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. If you change
your project beyond the activities authorized below, 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 1,100 feet Willow 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.
r
Buncombe County:
Page 3 of 6
December 9, 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. 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, unless authorized under Division of Land Resources
Erosion and Sediment Control approval. 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.
7. 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.
8. The channel must be restored to a more stable condition. However, under no
circumstances should river rock, sand or other materials be dredged
(excavated) 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 re-establishing the natural
and more stable stream channel dimensions. Streambed materials are unstable in
flowing-water situations and are unsuitable for bank stabilization. Stream dredging
Buncombe County:
Page 4 of 6
December 9, 2005
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.
9. 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 are not permitted because
they block the floodplain, constrict and accelerate flood flows, and often fail or
impede drainage during large flood events.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Riparian Zone Replanting
Replanting of vegetation within disturbed areas located within 25 feet of the
streambank associated with any land disturbing activity, repair, replacement
and/or maintenance must be done in a manner consistent with the Guidelines
for Riparian Buffer Restoration immediately following construction. (Please
see: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/pdf/buffers.pdf )
13. Monitoring
The Permittee shall examine the stabilization work done under this Certification
on an annual basis for three (3) years following the completion of the restoration
efforts. This field evaluation should note the condition and stability of the
measures installed and how well the repair is holding up. A written report must
be provided to DWQ's Asheville Regional Office by June 15t of each year. The
report must describe inspection results, include digital photographs, list the date
of inspection, and describe any needed repairs or corrections.
14.The permittee will provide on-site supervision of stability work including, but not
limited to bank re-sloping, in-stream structure placement, and riparian zone re-
establishment, by an appropriately trained individual.
ti
15. If pasture along the stream is to be used for grazing, the permittee must inform the
appropriate landowners that cattle should be prohibited from damaging riparian
areas and from de-stabilizing the stream banks and channel.

Buncombe County:
Page 5 of 6
December 9, 2005
16. 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.
17. Water Quality Certification Notifications
The permittee must provide a copy of this issued Water Quality Certification and
attached cover letter to each property owner where the approved work will be
performed.
18.Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 10 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be
exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 213. .0200. Appropriate sediment and
erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification
and may result in criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your
proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application and
as authorized by this Certification, shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA
Permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the
approved wetland or stream impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you
ask for a hearing.

TO: US ACOE, NC DENR-DWQ and NC WRC
FROM: Gary Higgins, Director - Buncombe County SWCD
REGARDING: Permit application for the Aubrey Wells Emergency Watershed Protection
Site
I have enclosed the application to obtain the necessary permits and other participation from
the agencies listed above for Emergency Watershed Protection program work on the Aubrey
Well's farm site. James Coman, Planner in the Buncombe County Planning Department, has
signed the permit application for Jon Creighton, the Buncombe County Assistant County
Manager, as he is out of town for an extended period of time. Mr. Jeff Young, NCDENR
Division of Soil & Water Engineer, has been flooded with design requests from all western
counties involved in EWP. He has assured us that he will have the designs for this project
complete by next week. We are submitting the application prior to the plans being complete,
in order to get the ball rolling. Plans will follow as soon as we get them from Mr. Young,
possibly by this Friday.
This project should involve the following activities: removal of woody/earthen debris;
partially restoring channel dimension by back filling part of the area washed out; addition of
rock structures; realignment of the channel; and revegetating the banks area. Work will be
done from the bank a much as possible, with protective barriers being used during placement
of soil/rock backfill, but due to the stream width and bank height, some work in the stream
will have to take place. The goal is to return the stream to it's proper cross sectional area and
location, stabilize the stream banks, and revegetate. We expect that a dump truck, track hoe
and small dozer will be the equipment used at this site.
This is a project funded by the USDA - Emergency Watershed Protection Program and the
NCDENR 401 fees have been waived.
Office Use Only: Form Version May 2002

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
Page 9 of 12
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/strm.gide.htmi.
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.
None
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

FROM: Gary Higgins, Director-Buncombe County SWCiOnAhUANDs""' ?ti,h"A LI eIV,
REGARDING: Permit application for the Aubrey Wells Emergency Watershed Protection
Site
I have enclosed the application to obtain the necessary permits and other participation from
the agencies listed above for Emergency Watershed Protection program work on the Aubrey
Well's farm site. James Coman, Planner in the Buncombe County Planning Department, has
signed the permit application for Jon Creighton, the Buncombe County Assistant County
Manager, as he is out of town for an extended period of time. Mr. Jeff Young, NCDENR
Division of Soil & Water Engineer, has been flooded with design requests from all western
counties involved in EWP. He has assured us that he will have the designs for this project
complete by next week. We are submitting the application prior to the plans being complete,
in order to get the ball rolling. Plans will follow as soon as we get them from Mr. Young,
possibly by this Friday.
This project should involve the following activities: removal of woody/earthen debris;
partially restoring channel dimension by back filling part of the area washed out; addition of
rock structures; realignment of the channel; and revegetating the banks area. Work will be
done from the bank a much as possible, with protective barriers being used during placement
of soil/rock backfill, but due to the stream width and bank height, some work in the stream
will have to take place. The goal is to return the stream to it's proper cross sectional area and
location, stabilize the stream banks, and revegetate. We expect that a dump truck, track hoe
and small dozer will be the equipment used at this site.
This is a project funded by the USDA - Emergency Watershed Protection Program and the
NCDENR 401 fees have been waived.

REGARDING: Permit application for the Aubrey Wells Emergency Watershed Protection
Site
I have enclosed the application to obtain the necessary permits and other participation from
the agencies listed above for Emergency Watershed Protection program work on the Aubrey
Well's farm site. James Coman, Planner in the Buncombe County Planning Department, has
signed the permit application for Jon Creighton, the Buncombe County Assistant County
Manager, as he is out of town for an extended period of time. Mr. Jeff Young, NCDENR
Division of Soil & Water Engineer, has been flooded with design requests from all western
counties involved in EWP. He has assured us that he will have the designs for this project
complete by next week. We are submitting the application prior to the plans being complete,
in order to get the ball rolling. Plans will follow as soon as we get them from Mr. Young,
possibly by this Friday.
This project should involve the following activities: removal of woody/earthen debris;
partially restoring channel dimension by back filling part of the area washed out; addition of
rock structures; realignment of the channel; and revegetating the banks area. Work will be
done from the bank a much as possible, with protective barriers being used during placement
of soil/rock backfill, but due to the stream width and bank height, some work in the stream
will have to take place. The goal is to return the stream to it's proper cross sectional area and
location, stabilize the stream banks, and revegetate. We expect that a dump truck, track hoe
and small dozer will be the equipment used at this site.
This is a project funded by the USDA - Emergency Watershed Protection Program and the
NCDENR 401 fees have been waived.
