199404666, Application by Toe River Club for a permit
to excavate accumulated sediment from the North Toe
River, Avery County.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
reviewed the information provided by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and I conducted a site visit 26 August 1994. 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 proposes to remove approximately 1800 cubic
yards of sediment from six pools in the North Toe River (0.2
acre) using a track hoe operated from the bank. Excavated
material will be deposited on an approved community dump site one
quarter of a mile from the river and a nearby parking lot that
experienced severe erosion during recent flooding. Material
placed on the parking lot will be contained with a silt fence.
Work will be completed by November 1 to avoid the trout spawning
season. The purpose of this work is to remove sediment from
various pools in the river to restore more favorable habitat for
trout and macroinvertebrates.
The North Toe River is Hatchery Supported Designated Public
Mountain Trout Water upstream and downstream of the river section
managed by the Toe River Club. The river also provides good
habitat for wild trout.
The NCWRC does not object to the issuance of this permit,
provided the applicant implement the following condition:

PUBLIC NOTICE
TOE RIVER CLUB, LLC, c/o MR. DEWEY WELLS, Post Office Drawer 84,
Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27102 has applied for a Department of the Army
(DA) permit TO EXCAVATE BY TRAC HOE APPROXIMATELY 1,800 CUBIC YARDS OF
ACCUMULATED SEDIMENT FROM THE NORTH TOE RIVER, ALONG S.R. 1157, APPROXIMATELY
3 MILES WEST OF NEWLAND, IN Avery County North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant. Plans submitted with the application show THAT AS A RESULT OF
ACCUMULATED SEDIMENT IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED STRETCH OF THE TOE RIVER, IT HAS
BECOME NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE SEDIMENT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE INSTREAM HABITAT
FOR TROUT SPECIES. APPROXIMATELY 1,800 CUBIC YARDS OF SEDIMENT IS PROPOSED TO
BE REMOVED BY A TRACHOE WORKING FROM THE BANKS OF THE RIVER. SIX POOL AREAS
WITHIN THE RIVER CHANNEL ARE PROPOSED TO BE EXCAVATED WITH THE TOTAL EXCAVATED
AREA TO BE APPROXIMATELY 0.2 ACRES. THE EXACT LOCATION ON THE RIVER WHERE THE
PROPOSED WORK IS TO TAKE PLACE IS DEPICTED ON THE ENCLOSED MAPS (INCLUDING THE
NEWLAND QUAD SHEET). THE EXCAVATED MATERIAL WILL BE DEPOSITED ON TWO
CONTAINED HIGH GROUND LOCATIONS. THESE LOCATIONS INCLUDE A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED COMMUNITY DUMP SITE ONE QUARTER MILE FROM THE RIVER AND A NEARBY
PARKING LOT WHICH EXPERIENCED SEVERE EROSION AS A RESULT OF RECENT FLOODING.
THE PARKING LOT AREA WILL BE CONTAINED ALONG ITS PERIMETER WITH A SILT FENCE.
The purpose of the work is to remove sediment from various pools in the river
to restore more favorable habitat for fish spawning and cover and to improve
the conditions for the growth of aquatic insect life. Plans showing the
proposed work are included with this public notice. Please note that comments
for this public notice will be received for a 14 day period rather than the
usual 30 days in order that the work not interfere with trout spawning which
commences around November 1.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA
permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal
has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued
until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has
determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL
92-500.
Approval of this permit will give Federal authorization for maintenance
dredging for a period of time not to exceed 10 years from the date of permit
issuance. The permittee will be required to present plans to the District
Engineer a minimum of 2 weeks prior to commencement of such maintenance work.
All maintenance would be performed in accordance with Federal, State, and
local permits and regulations governing such activities at the time the
maintenance is undertaken.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware;of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat,
designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made
until the NCDEM issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the DA permit
serves as application to the NCDEM for certification.
I
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may
be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, NCDEM,
Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such
materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of
reproduction costs.
The NCDEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water
Act certification on or after November 8, 1994.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for
Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the NCDEM,
Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before
October 14, 1994, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Steve Chapin, until 4:15 p.m., October
7, 1994, or telephone [phone].

No wetland area is to be filled. Except for a small area to be filled at the "X"
location on the second pave of the attached map, the material to be removed from the river will
be placed on a previously approved community dump site approximately one-quarter mile from
the river.
The aforesaid "X" is the location of a parking lot which suffered severe erosion
on account of the mid-August 1994 flood. That erosion occurred because the private, low-level
bridge across the river acted as a dam and caused the parking area to be washed over by water
which otherwise would have remained,"ithin or the near south river bank.. While no run-off into
the river is anticipated, we will be prepared to install a silt fence, if necessary, to prevent it. To
avoid a recurrence of such over-wash, we plan to remove that low level bridge and replace it with
one much higher and which does not require a support or column in the river.
The following are the estimated surface areas to be cleaned out and estimated
cubic yards of resulting material, keyed to the pool number shown on the attached map:

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
Action ID No. 199404666
September 22, 1994
PUBLIC NOTICE
TOE RIVER CLUB, LLC, c/o MR. DEWEY WELLS, Post Office Drawer 84,
Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27102 has applied for a Department of the Army
(DA) permit TO EXCAVATE BY TRAC HOE APPROXIMATELY 1,800 CUBIC YARDS OF
ACCUMULATED SEDIMENT FROM THE NORTH TOE RIVER, ALONG S.R. 1157, APPROXIMATELY
3 MILES WEST OF NEWLAND, IN Avery County North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant. Plans submitted with the application show THAT AS A RESULT OF
ACCUMULATED SEDIMENT IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED STRETCH OF THE TOE RIVER, IT HAS
BECOME NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE SEDIMENT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE INSTREAM HABITAT
FOR TROUT SPECIES. APPROXIMATELY 1,800 CUBIC YARDS OF SEDIMENT IS PROPOSED TO
BE REMOVED BY A TRACHOE WORKING FROM THE BANKS OF THE RIVER. SIX POOL AREAS
WITHIN THE RIVER CHANNEL ARE PROPOSED TO BE EXCAVATED WITH THE TOTAL EXCAVATED
AREA TO BE APPROXIMATELY 0.2 ACRES. THE EXACT LOCATION ON THE RIVER WHERE THE
PROPOSED WORK IS TO TAKE PLACE IS DEPICTED ON THE ENCLOSED MAPS (INCLUDING THE
NEWLAND QUAD SHEET). THE EXCAVATED MATERIAL WILL BE DEPOSITED ON TWO
CONTAINED HIGH GROUND LOCATIONS. THESE LOCATIONS INCLUDE A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED COMMUNITY DUMP SITE ONE QUARTER MILE FROM THE RIVER AND A NEARBY
PARKING LOT WHICH EXPERIENCED SEVERE EROSION AS A RESULT OF RECENT FLOODING.
THE PARKING LOT AREA WILL BE CONTAINED ALONG ITS PERIMETER WITH A SILT FENCE.
The purpose of the work is to remove sediment from various pools in the river
to restore more favorable habitat for fish spawning and cover and to improve
the conditions for the growth of aquatic insect life. Plans showing the
proposed work are included with this public notice. Please note that comments
for this public notice will be received for a 14 day period rather than the
usual 30 days in order that the work not interfere with trout spawning which
commences around November 1.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA
permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal
has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued
until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has
determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL
92-500.
Approval of this permit will give Federal authorization for maintenance
dredging for a period of time not to exceed 10 years from the date of permit
issuance. The permittee will be required to present plans to the District
Engineer a minimum of 2 weeks prior to commencement of such maintenance work.
All maintenance would be performed in accordance with Federal, State, and
local permits and regulations governing such activities at the time the
maintenance is undertaken.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.

The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware.of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat,
designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made
until the NCDEM issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the DA permit
serves as application to the NCDEM for certification.
r
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may
be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, NCDEM,
Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such
materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of
reproduction costs.
The NCDEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water
Act certification on or after November 8, 1994.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for
Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the NCDEM,
Pos Offi a Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before
Oc ober 14, 19 4, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.
ritten comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Steve Chapin, until 4:15 p.m., October
7, 1994, or telephone [phone].

No wetland area is to be filled. Except for a small area to be filled at the "X"
location on the second page of the attached map, the material to be removed from the river will
be placed on a previously approved community dump site approximately one-quarter mile from
the river.
The aforesaid "X" is the location of a parking lot which suffered severe erosion
on account of the mid-August 1994 flood. That erosion occurred because the private, low-level
bridge across the river acted as a dam and caused the parking area to be washed over by water
which otherwise would have remained within or the near south river bank. While no run-off into
the river is anticipated, we will be prepared to install a silt fence, if necessary, to prevent it. To
avoid a recurrence of such over-wash, we plan to remove that low level bridge and replace it with
one much higher and which does not require a support or column in the river.
The following are the estimated surface areas to be cleaned out and estimated
cubic yards of resulting material, keyed to the pool number sho Am on the attached map:

In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested state review agencies
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice and Action ID. No. 199404666 dated September
22, 1994 which describes a project proposal by the Toe River Club, L.L.C., c/o Mr. Dewey
Wells of Winston Salem. The project, involving the removal of sediment from sections of a
Designated Public Mountain Trout Water, is located on the North Toe River, along SR1157,
west of Newland, in Avery County.
Based on a coordinated agency review, the state interposes no objection provided the
recommendations of key review agencies are included in the permit. These comments are as
follows:
Wildlife Resources Commission - does not object to the excavation if long term
erosion control is provided and permanent herbaceous vegetation planted on all
bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities. Mulch should be used
to protect the soil before vegetation becomes established;
Division of Environmental Management - issued the required Section 401
Water Quality Certification on October 11, 1994. Certification No. 2931
provides important environmental safeguards;
Division of Environmental Health - states that the proposed work is upstream
of a proposed raw water intake for Spruce Pines and the Town should be noti-
fied. It was implied that the work should be quickly done and not ... "proceed
over a ten year period" .... , i.e., the life of the permit. In that way no harm
would likely occur once the intake is installed.
