3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The project site is located along the North Fork of the New River east of Lansing, NC. Landcover in the area consists of
mixed hardwood conifer, managed herbaceous cover, and mixed upland hardwoods. The property is used as a
permanent dwelling for landowners and their family. Surrounding land use is primarily rural residential with some
agricultural use. River banks at the property are moderately to severely eroded due to the lack of vegetative buffer along
stream.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0 none
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
173 If of the North Fork New River,
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
To repair and stabilize eroding banks by re-establishing proper bank profiles through bank reshaping and with 1 in -stream
structure and to improve water quality. To improve habitat for aquatic fauna and to improve the overall condition of the
riparian areas at the site.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Eroding banks will be reshaped to approximately 2:1, or flatter and planted with native vegetation. One (1) rock vane will
be constructed to divert the thalwag back to the center of the stream. During construction a track hoe will do the work
from the bank, although the track hoe may have to access the stream to construct the end of the rock vanes. After
construction the bank will be seeded with native grass seed and sloped bank will be covered with erosion control matting
and anchored with live stakes and landscape staples. Flat areas will be seeded and mulched with straw. All areas will be
planted with live stakes (Silky Willow, Salix Sericea) (Silky Dogwood, Cornus amomum) (Elderberry, Sambucus
canadensis) along with native rhododendron mtn laurel and riverbirch

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la, Specifically descnbe measures taken to, avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.:
This project will stabilize 173 If of eroding stream bank, reduce stream bank erosion, reduce in -stream sediment loads
and improve in -stream aquatic habitats. Stream aesthetics will be improved with the establishment of a well vegetated
and functioning riparian zone.
b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction; techniques.
During construction, equipment will only access the stream when absolutely necessary. For this project, it is anticipated
that most of the track hoe work can be accomplished from the top of the bank. However, equipment may need access the
stream during the construction when no other construction alternative exists. Soil disturbance will be limited to what can
seeded and stabilized in one day. Banks will be seeded, and coir matting will be placed and anchored with wooden
stakes. Flat areas will be seeded and covered with straw.
