Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mrs. Lawhern:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed
below, to place fill within or otherwise impact 1,280 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 January 19, 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 and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, 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:

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
I Stream 1,280 feet Lon Branch
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.
Yancey County:
Page 3 of 6
February 16, 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. Long Branch is classified C, Trout. As such, the following Administrative Codes
apply: 15A NCAC 04B.0125 and 15A NCAC 0213.0211
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, 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.
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.
Yancey County:
Page 4 of 6
February 16, 2005:
9. The channel must 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. 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 are not permitted because
they block the floodplain, constrict and accelerate flood flows, and often fail or
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.As long-term stream stability is a concern with this type of work, it is strongly
recommended that woody vegetation be established along stream banks where
possible. Any riparian vegetation planting should be performed in accordance with
the Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration.
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 1St 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.

February 16, 2005:
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.
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 2B. .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.

Page 6 of 15
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at
the time of this application:
The proposed project site consists of open woodland and residences. The stream and stream
banks were heavily impacted during Tropical Storms Frances and Ivan. The streambank is
littered with excessive woody and non-native debris. Which, if suspended during another high
flow event, could clog downstream bridges or culverts and direct channel flows into vulnerable
stream banks. Extensive stream bank erosion on the right bank threatens the stability of houses.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
All work will be performed consistent with conversations between Altamont Environmental, Inc
(Altamont), US Army Corps of Engineers, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and on-site
consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service personnel. Work will include streambank
stabilization above the normal water line on the right bank descending and non-native and
excessive woody debris removal from both right and left banks descending for the length of the
entire project area. Equipment used to accomplish the above tasks include: rubber tired
skidders, 15 ton dump truck, hydraulic track mounted excavator with thumb, and chainsaws.
Stream Bank Stabfflzadon
Stream bank stabilization will only occur at parcels labeled 155 and 152 (see Table I and Figure
2) and will occur for approximately 135 feet in length. Large (four to five foot diameter) angular
rock will be used to stabilize the toe of the right bank A schematic of the restored cross-section
is shown in Figure 3. Two to three tiers of rock will be used, as needed. The area behind the
boulders will be backfilled with rocky debris material excavated from the floodplain or imported
material, and topsoil will be placed on the top of the reconstructed bank to aid in the
establishment of vegetation (See Figure 4). Project will be seeded with grasses upon completion
of heavy equipment work With landowners' permission, live stakes and bare root stock native
trees and shrubs will be planted on top of the bank stabilization work All bank stabilization
work will occur in the dry above the normal water surface level. All work will be performed
from the river bank, and equipment will not tread in the water. Sand bags will be used to deflect
high water flow away from the work area. Standard erosion and sedimentation control
measures will be utilized throughout the project.
The work addressed in this application is intended to improve the post flood hydraulic capacity
of the stream reaches discussed and stabilize severely eroded streambanks that are threatening
structures on other property. The proposed actions are not intended to enhance existing
conditions or restore the stream reaches using natural channel design techniques. Such
activities would require detailed engineering evaluation and design, which are beyond the intent
of the EWP program. The proposed work has not been reviewed or sealed by a Professional
Engineer.
Removal of Organic and Rocky Debris
Debris removal will occur for the length of the project site and involve 9 parcels on the right
bank descending and 2 parcels on the left bank descending. The applicant recognizes that some
woody debris in the riparian zone is a necessary component of habitat integrity and will strive to
Page 7 of 15
remove only non-native objects and those debris elements considered an immediate or
impending threat to life and structures. Contractors performing debris removal tasks will be
instructed to access debris on both sides of the river from the bank on which the debris is
located. Contractors will be instructed specifically to keep heavy equipment out of the river
channel. In some circumstances, it is likely that chainsaw operators or heavy equipment
support personnel nnay need to get in the river to cut or help free debris janns being removed. In
addition, large debris being pulled from the riverbank may result in some riverbank scour. The
applicant will instruct contractors performing the work to refrain from cutting any live
vegetation unless it is leaning toward the river at more than a 30 degree angle and the river is
entrenched or the river bank is unstable at that point. Debris removed will be hauled off site or
chipped and disposed of in the flood plain. In cases where it is determined that large woody
debris can be utilized in current or projected fixture bank stabilization work, such as in log veins
or as root wads, these articles may be stored on site out of the . floodway upon landowner
permission. All areas disturbed due to debris removal and equipment access will be reshaped
and reseeded Access to the charnel will be perpendicular to the channel. Precaution will be
taken to protect mast production and stream canopy trees. Dead trees that provide den habitat
and are determined to pose no hazard to the channel shall be protected.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work.
The work being described is exigency work under the Emergency Matershed Protection program
to protect existing property and structures. Streambank stabilization will also prevent further
erosion and sedimentation to the Cane River resource.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
XIA
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.
Altmnnont and the natural resource agencies consulted on this permit application have discussed
the possibility of installing some physical structures later in the year at this site as non-exigency
or recovery it•ork that ticould serve the dual purpose of bank protection and habitat improvement.
Page8of 15
This may or may not occur pending further consultation with the natural resource agencies, level
of need determined after exigency work, funding availability, and landowner responsiveness to
that proposition. In addition, there will be other non-exigency debris removal work on the Cane
River later in 2005 upstream and downstream from this project site. Altamont has consulted on-
site with the US Fish and Wildlife Service about this work; but since that is not as urgent, it has
not been included in this permit application. A separate application will be prepared for
additional debris removal or channel stabilization work
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.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
Proposed impacts include stream bank stabilization and debris removal. These impacts should
be minor due to the limited scope of streambank stabilization and debris removal here, AND
the precautions undertaken to keep heavy equipment out of the stream channel. Incidental
sediment may enter the river from streamside excavation and compaction work and limited
bank scour or trampling may occur during debris removal activities. These impacts are
expected to be limited in duration and no more severe than the impacts from fisherman and
recreational boaters who seasonally visit these waters. As discussed, sediment and erosion
control measures, including sand bags, silt fences and reseeding, will be utilized to minimize
sedimentation.
The applicant recognizes the natural resource significance of the Cane River at this site. The
Cane River here is designated by the State of NC as High Quality Waters, a Water Supply
Watershed II (public drinking water supply for Town of Burnsville), and is managed for
hatchery supported trout by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission. In addition, the Cane
River approximately five miles downstream from this project site is designated Critical Habitat
for the federally endangered Appalachian elktoe mussel. Upon consultation with the US Fish
and Wildlife Service, Altamont understands that additional federally listed plant and aquatic
species may occupy nearby sites in the Cane River watershed.
2. Individually list wetland impacts below:
There will be no wetlands impacted at this site.

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.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
Altamont will provide contractors engaged in the implementation of this work both written and
verbal instructions of all impact avoidance statements provided below. All heavy equipment will be
kept out of the stream channel during streambank stabilization and debris removal work No
excavation will be done within the wetted channel area during bank stabilization activities. No
boulder, cobble, gravel, or sediment will be collected from the stream channel to perform
streambank stabilization work Temporary grass cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15
days ofground disturbing activities. Provided landowners give permission, herbaceous and woody
shrub and tree vegetation will also be installed on the riverbank upon completion of bank
stabilization work Since all work will be performed in the dry, Altamont does not feel it is
necessary to install check dams or other sediment filtration devices in the stream channel. During
debris removal work contractors will access debris from the bank on which the debris is
located. No heavy equipment will enter the stream channel to access debris. If landowners do
Page I1 of 15
not provide access aoareenients to pick up and haul aivay debris, the debris on their riverbank
properties ivill be left undisturbed AItamont will provide a site manager to periodically inspect
and sarpervise contractor tivork to help ensure impact avoidance instructions are being followed.
N9H. AEfigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A \TCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Qualiq, 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 USAGE 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/stn-n.izide.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.

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.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application:The proposed project site consists of light residential,uses.
The stream and stream banks were heavily impacted during Hurricanes Frances and Ivan.
The stream is clogged with woody, rock, and non-native debris. In some cases the
channel has moved significantly from its original location and is threatening an adjacent
property. Additionally, extensive stream bank erosion threatens the stability of existing
structures including houses along the river.
9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Clearing and Debris Removal
Fallen trees, limbs and dislodged brush within the cross section of the existing or original
channel up to and including the debris line shall be removed. Any foreign debris will be
removed. Trees whose near term fall is apparent will be removed. Live trees designated for
removal will be cut three feet above the ground surface, and the root masses will be left.
Disturbance of channel bottom and banks, and equipment access areas shall be held to the
minimum necessary to allow the construction equipment to remove debris. All areas
disturbed due to debris removal and equipment access shall be reshaped and reseeded.
Access to the channel will be perpendicular to the channel so cutting of trees is held to a
minimum with precaution taken to protect mast production and stream canopy trees. Dead
trees that provide den habitat and are determined to pose no hazard to the channel shall be
protected. A stream area debris conceptual drawing is attached as Figure 2
Stream Channel and Streambank Restoration
When possible excavation equipment will access deposition areas at a safe distance from
the streambank and do not need to track into the stream channel. Material excavated from
these deposition areas can generally be placed with only one motion of the excavation
equipment. Most of these sites include a steep eroded streambank opposite or adjacent to
the deposition area. Where there does exist an eroded streambank in the vicinity of these
deposit areas, the material removed from this area will be used to stabilize the streambank.
Where suitable material is available rock vanes and root wads will be installed in the
restored bank section to reduce bank stress and provide stability to the unconsolidated fill.
At sites where there is no eroded streambank in the immediate vicinity, the excavated
material will be used to strengthen the natural berm of the streambank or will be hauled off
site. In no case shall the deposited material be placed at an elevation higher than the
existing streambanks.
In cases when the channel has relocated it will be necessary to re-establish the stream
channel to its pre-flood location and capacity. Work in these cases shall proceed from
downstream to upstream to reduce sediment loading. Restored channel dimensions will be
established in the field using reference data from appropriate, nearby stable or nearly, stable
sections. The restored profile and facet slopes will be established in the field using site
elevation data and appropriate nearby reference profile data. The restored channel pattern
will be determined using field indicators, aerial photographs, and interviews with
landowners. Where suitable material is available rock vanes and root wads will be installed
in the restored bank section to reduce bank stress and provide stability to the unconsolidated
fill. In several cases where a major channel shift has occurred, all streamflow can be
Page 7 of 14
diverted into the flood channel allowing for all restoration work to be performed in the dry
bed of the original channel In cases where the original and flood channels overlap, work
shall begin by re-establishing a narrow diversion channel at the approximate location of the
ori(ainal?channel. Excavation of the channel shall begin at the downstream edge of the
deposition area and will progress upstream Material excavated from this channel will be
placed at the waters edge between the existing stream flow and the new channel. Care will
be taken to maintain an adequate berm area to prevent the flow of the stream from entering
the channel being excavated When the excavation reaches the upstream edge of the
deposition area the stream flow shall be turned into the re-established channel. A berm will
then be established to block as much of the flow as possible from moving through the flood
scoured channel. Once flow is diverted to the re-established channel and the flood scoured
channel is reduced to a minimum flow the re-establishment of the full original capacity of
the stream and stabilization of the eroded streambank will begin. Beginning at t he most
downstream point of the deposition area. the material will be moved to the outside of the
curve to re-establish the original stream location and capacity. Care shall be taken to move
the material in such a manner as to minimize sedimentation. As the material is moved to its
final position on the outside of the curve the streambank shall be sloped to a stable slope.
Large rock encountered during this phase of the excavation shall be placed at the toe of the
slope used to construct vane structures or used to anchor root wads to protect
unconsolidated fill As a final operation the berm placed at the upstream end of the channel
shall be removed At no time will excavation proceed below the normal channel bottom
depth.
A stream channel and streambank restoration conceptual drawing is attached as Figure 3.
Equipment that may be used to accomplish the above listed tasks include; Rubber tired
skidders 15 ton dump truck hydraulic track mounted excavator with thumb, and chainsaws.
10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
Exigency work to protect existing property and structures. Stabilize streambanks to
prevent further erosion and sedimentation.

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.
When at all possible equipment will be kept out of the stream channel, stream crossings will be
minimized, and no excavation will be done below the existing channel bed. When at all
possible stream material will be moved from dry areas to banks, minimizing the movement of
wet (or below water line) stream material. Restored channel dimensions and profile will be
determined by evaluating appropriate, nearby stable or nearly stable reference sections, re final
curve information, and suitable reference data from the consultants reference libLM. Specific
attention will be given to the establishment of bankfull benches and appropriate bedform
sequencing throughout the restored areas. The temptation to create a wide, shallow channel
will be avoided. Any channel relocation activities shall be limited to returning the channel to
pre-storm conditions. Temporary and/or permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be planted on
all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities. Rocky material shall not be used for
bank stabilization above the normal high water mark.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on 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.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application:The proposed project site consists of light residential,uses.
The stream and stream banks were heavily impacted during Hurricanes Frances and Ivan.
The stream is clogged with woody, rock, and non-native debris. In some cases the
channel has moved significantly from its original location and is threatening an adjacent
property. Additionally, extensive stream bank erosion threatens the stability of existing
structures including houses along the river.
9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Clearing and Debris Removal
Fallen trees, limbs and dislodged brush within the cross section of the existing or original
channel up to and including the debris line shall be removed. Any foreign debris will be
removed. Trees whose near term fall is apparent will be removed. Live trees designated for
removal will be cut three feet above the ground surface, and the root masses will be left.
Disturbance of channel bottom and banks, and equipment access areas shall be held to the
minimum necessary to allow the construction equipment to remove debris. All areas
disturbed due to debris removal and equipment access shall be reshaped and reseeded.
Access to the channel will be perpendicular to the channel so cutting of trees is held to a
minimum with precaution taken to protect mast production and stream canopy trees. Dead
trees that provide den habitat and are determined to pose no hazard to the channel shall be
protected. A stream area debris conceptual drawing is attached as Figure 2
Stream Channel and Streambank Restoration
When possible excavation equipment will access deposition areas at a safe distance from
the streambank and do not need to track into the stream channel. Material excavated from
these deposition areas can generally be placed with only one motion of the excavation
equipment. Most of these sites include a steep eroded streambank opposite or adjacent to
the deposition area. Where there does exist an eroded streambank in the vicinity of these
deposit areas, the material removed from this area will be used to stabilize the streambank.
Where suitable material is available, rock vanes and root wads will be installed in the
restored bank section to reduce bank stress and provide stability to the unconsolidated fill.
At sites where there is no eroded streambank in the immediate vicinity, the excavated
material will be used to strengthen the natural berm of the streambank or will be hauled off
site. In no case shall the deposited material be placed at an elevation higher than the
existinz streambanks.
In cases when the channel has relocated it will be necessary to re-establish the stream
channel to its pre-flood location and capacity. Work in these cases shall proceed from
downstream to upstream to reduce sediment loading. Restored channel dimensions will be
established in the field using reference data from appropriate, nearby stable or nearly stable
sections. The restored profile and facet slopes will be established in the field using site
elevation data and appropriate nearby reference profile data. The restored channel pattern
will be determined using field indicators, aerial photographs, and interviews with
landowners. Where suitable material is available, rock vanes and root wads will be installed
in the restored bank section to reduce bank stress and provide stability to the unconsolidated
fill. In several cases where a major channel shift has occurred, all streamflow can be
Page 7 of 14
diverted into the flood channel allowing for all restoration work to be performed in the dry
bed of the original channel In cases where the original and flood channels overlap, work
shall begin by re-establishing a narrow diversion channel at the approximate location of the
original channel Excavation of the channel shall begin at the downstream edge of the
deposition area and will progress upstream Material excavated from this channel will be
placed at the waters edge between the existing stream flow and the new channel. Care will
be taken to maintain an adequate berm area to prevent the flow of the stream from entering
the channel being excavated When the excavation reaches the upstream edge of the
deposition area the stream flow shall be turned into the re-established channel. A berm will
then be established to block as much of the flow as possible from moving through the flood
scoured channel. Once flow is diverted to the re-established channel and the flood scoured
channel is reduced to a minimum flow, the re-establishment of the full original capacity of
the stream and stabilization of the eroded streambank will begin. Beginning at t he most
downstream point of the deposition area. the material will be moved to the outside of the
curve to re-establish the original stream location and capacity. Care shall be taken to move
the material in such a manner as to minimize sedimentation. As the material is moved to its
final position on the outside of the curve the streambank shall be sloped to a stable slope.
Large rock encountered during this phase of the excavation shall be placed at the toe of the
slope used to construct vane structures or used to anchor root wads to protect
unconsolidated fill As a final operation the berm placed at the upstream end of the channel
shall be removed At no time will excavation proceed below the normal channel bottom
depth.
A stream channel and streambank restoration conceptual drawing is attached as Figure 3.
Equipment that may be used to accomplish the above listed tasks include; Rubber tired
skidders 15 ton dump truck hydraulic track mounted excavator with thumb, and chainsaws.
10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
Exigency work to protect existing property and structures. Stabilize streambanks to
prevent further erosion and sedimentation.

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
Page 10 of 14
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
When at all possible equipment will be kept out of the stream channel, stream crossings will be
minimized, and no excavation will be done below the existing channel bed. When at all
possible stream material will be moved from dry areas to banks, minimizing the movement of
wet (or below water line) stream material. Restored channel dimensions and profile will be
determined by evaluating appropriate, nearby stable or nearly stable reference sections, regional
curve information, and suitable reference data from the consultants reference library. Specific
attention will be given to the establishment of bankfull benches and appropriate bedform
sequencing throughout the restored areas. The temptation to create a wide, shallow channel
will be avoided. Any channel relocation activities shall be limited to returning the channel to
pre-storm conditions. Temporary and/or permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be planted on
all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities. Rocky material shall not be used for
bank stabilization above the normal high water mark.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on 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.
Page 11 of 14
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
htti)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmizide.html.
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
