0A' 011LITY S&-,
In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested
state review agencies U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice .... 0538
dated September 25, 1986 which describes a project proposed by the Stokes
County Watershed Commission of Danbury. The project, involving the
construction of 22 earthen flood water control dams, is located on tributaries
of the East Prong of the Little Yadkin River near King in Stokes County.
Based on a coordinated agency review, this state viewpoint recommends
approval of the project provided any permit issued includes conditions to
protect or enhance riparian woodland habitat and overall water quality and
minimum flow. Recommendations on these topics and the agency submitting each
follow: 1) the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission recommends that a minimum
of 100 feet of forested habitat be protected around each pond's perimeter
through I egally binding agreements. Perimeter management should not allow
clearcutting or other land clearing activities. The Commission views such
measures as necessary to balance expenditures of public monies and impacts on
public resources within project benefits; 2) the Division of Water Resources
recommends that cumulative instream flow targets be maintained at 2 locations
on the East Prong Little Yadkin River. These flow targets are .6 cfs at SR
1168 (drainage area of 5.1 square miles) and 1.3 cfs at the downstream
crossing of SR 1166 (drainage area of 10.5 square miles). When natural
inflows are below these targets, then the target should inflow. These minimum
flows could be maintained by several alternatives, separately or in
combination, including: utilizing the low level drawdown gates on one or more
of the larger impoundments, installing _a lower level release orifice-on the
standpipe of one or more of the larger impoundments, or curtailing irrigation
when pond levels drop below the standpipe opening.
For your information, the Division of Environmental Management issued
Water Quality Certification No. 1989 on November 7, 1986 for the project.

PUBLIC NOTICE
STOKES. COUNTY WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION, Post Office Box 98,
Danbury. North Carolina 27016, has applied for a Department of the Army
permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN HEADWATER TRIBUTARIES OF THE EAST PRONG OF
THE LITTLE YADKIN RIVER NEAR KING, Stokes County, North Carolina..
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the construction of 22 earthen flood water control dams on
tributaries of the East Prong of the Little Yadkin River drainage basin. A
plan for Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention for the Little Yadkin River
Watershed was formulated and approved in 1965. The plan included construction
of three (3) major flood water retarding structures. The dam on Crooked Creek
was completed in 1971; the dam on West Prong in 1977.
The present proposal represents an alternative to constructing one large
dam (the third structure) on the East Prong Tributary. It is estimated that
the small dams will control 3,954 acres of drainage area. They will be built
under Soil Conservation Service Pond Standard 378, which provides a size
limitation produced by the product of the storage times the height of the dam
to be less than 3,000. An estimated 243,031 cubic yards of soil material,
taken from onsite sources, will be needed to construct the dams. Of this
amount, approximately 2,200 cubic yards will be placed below the plain of
ordinary high water. The field survey of the dam locations revealed that
regulated wetlands are not present at any of the sites. The purpose of the
project is to provide for flood water control. Plans showing the work are
included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
m2-
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public healing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.

This application is being considered pursuant to Section 10 of the River
and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). 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 has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not 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,.flood plain values, 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.

-3-
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM 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 Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, 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 North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
November 4, 1986.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687,-Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before October 27, 1986, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Ernest Jahnke, until 4:15 p.m.,
October 25, 1986, or telephone [phone].

FROM: Sherri Vaden
SUBJECT: 401 Water Quality Certification Request
Stokes County Watershed Improvement Commission
After review of the subject request, the Winston-Salem Regional
Office recommends approval of the project. Although, sediment may be
a greater problem during dam construction with the twenty-two smaller
structures than with the one larger dam, it is felt that with an adequate
erosion control plan , the impact should be lessened and long term water
quality.would be better due to the containment of agricultural runoff.

STOKES COUNTY WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION, Post Office Box 98,
Danbury. North Carolina 27016, has applied for a Department of the Army
permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN HEADWATER TRIBUTARIES OF THE EAST PRONG OF
THE LITTLE YADKIN RIVER NEAR KING, Stokes County, North Carolina..
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the construction of 22 earthen flood water control dams on
tributaries of the East Prong of the Little Yadkin River drainage basin. A
plan for Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention for the Little Yadkin River
Watershed was formulated and approved in 1965. The plan included construction
of three (3) major flood water retarding structures. The dam on Crooked Creek
was completed in 1971; the dam on West Prong in 1977.
The present proposal represents an alternative to constructing one large
dam (the third structure) on the East Prong Tributary. It is estimated that
the small dams will control-3,954 acres of drainage area. They will be built

data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not 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, flood plain values, 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.

-3-
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM 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 Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, 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 North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
November 4, 1986.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before October 27, 1986, Attention:
Mr. William Mills.
Written-comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Ernest Jahnke, until 4:15 p.m.,
October 25, 1986, or telephone [phone].

LITTLE YADKIN RIVER WATERSHED
August, 1986
Introduction
Little Yadkin River Watershed, comprising an area of 40,000 acres, is
located in Forsyth, Stokes, and Surry Counties, North Carolina. A plan
for Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention was formulated and
approved in 1965.
The watershed consisted of three (3) major flood water retarding
structures, 31 miles of channel clearing and snagging, and stabilizing
251 acres of critically eroding land with grasses, legumes, or trees.
Structure No. 6 on Crooked Creek was completed in 1971. An
Environmental Assessment and Negative Declaration was prepared and
distributed for public review for Structures 2 and 4 in 1975. The
public review was completed with no unresolved conflicts or significant
concerns. Structure No. 4 on West Prong was completed in 1977.
The Sponsoring Local Organization has made a request to the Soil
Conservation Service to find an alternative to building Structure No. 2
on East Prong Tributary and to eliminate clearing and snagging of the
channels. The Soil Conservation Service made a study and found an
alternative that satisfied the request and is acceptable to the
Sponsors.
Planned Action
The alternative that would provide the same hydrologic and hydraulic
effect below Structure No. 2 location is a system of 22 small dams. The
cumulative effect of this system will provide the same stage-discharge
at various cross sections located at strategic locations downstream.
Therefore, the economic evaluation completed for the original plan
i
remains valid. Some additional benefits will accrue to cropland acres
between the small dams and location of the deleted Site No. 2.
It is estimated the 22 small floodwater retarding structures will
control 3,954 acres of drainage area. All structures will be built
under SCS Pond Standard 378, which provides a size limitation produced
by the product of the storage times the height of the dam to be less
than 3,000.
Each structure will be designed to store the runoff from 25 year-1 day
storm below the crest of the emergency spillway. The runoff from the
100 year-1 day storm will be routed through the emergency spillway to
establish top of dam. Principle spillways will be heavy gauge welded
steel and sized to have a release rate of 10-20 cubic feet per second
per square mile (csm).
Plasticity Index of soils used in the embankment will range between 8
and 15, with moderate piping and permeability potential. These soils
will be located within the floodpool and emergency spillway areas.
Filter drainage diaphragms will be used in lieu of anti-seep collars. A
dual graded filter across the floodplain will provide protection from
piping and allow proper embankment and foundation drainage.
Rock excavation and/or concrete dental grout of the emergency spillway
is anticipated on five sites. Sediment storage calculations will be
based on complete land use and soils survey for each site, considering
future conditions.
Probable Impacts
• Accumulated acres in permanent pools of the 22 small dams is estimated
to be 75 acres. This compares to the original structure proposal of 68
acres. Area of floodpools will decrease from 133 acres to 54 acres.
The site specific and accumulated land use changes are displayed in
Table No. 1.
t ,

The 22 pond size structures will contain a volume set aside for sediment
' accumulation over the design life of the structure and a volume for
temporary floodwater storage. Landrights will be obtained by flood
easements on private farmland. Most sites will be located in isolated
and remote areas on private land. Therefore, public access will be too
difficult to provide. Some landowners may permit public use by
permission if accessibility is not a problem.
Construction of the proposed 22 small dams will have no significant
adverse effects on ecological systems in the watershed. Water quality
in the streams should improve through reduction of sediment trapped by
the structures. Frequent turbid conditions of the streams will be
lessened, especially below the proposed structures.
Water in the stream reaches downstream from the proposed structures may
be warmed slightly because of the increased water surface area exposed
to sunlight. Since no cold water fishing is present in these reaches or
in Little Yadkin River as a whole, no adverse effects will result. Some
increased groundwater recharge may take place immediately around the
structures, but no measurable effect on the areal ground water supply is
anticipated.
The fishery resources in the watershed will be improved as a result of
the proposed structures. A permanent fishery consisting of bluegill,
largemouth bass, and other water impoundment species will be established
where no significant stream fishery now exists. Construction of the 22
small dams will result in the loss of 11 acres of cropland, 45 acres of
woodland, and 8 acres of pastureland. Species such as rabbit, quail and
squirrel will be affected. It is proposed that .1-.2 acre of wildlife
plantings of VA-70 or Bicolor will be planted in odd areas around each
pond site. These concentrated areas should offset losses to wildlife
food and cover for the species displaced and improve the carrying
capacity of the surrounding area. The 54 acres of forestland and
cropland in the temporary floodpool will not be significantly affected
as wildlife habitat. No rare and endangered species will be affected by
the impoundments.

The aesthetic value of the area surrounding the structure sites will be
increased. These reservoirs will fit in well with the rolling-to-
mountainous topography of a region which now has a low water-land ratio
in relation to quality of the landscape.
The State Historic Preservation Officer was consulted during the
environmental assessment for information on possible historical or
archaeological resources within the affected area. No report of any
resource of this type resulted from the inquiry. There are no
historical sites within the watershed listed in the National Register of
Historic Places. Prior to construction, an archaeological survey will
be made of each site and consultations will be conducted with the North
Carolina Cultural Resources Department. The project will comply with
the Historic Properties Preservation Program, Public Law 89-665 (Section
106) and the proper authorities will be consulted if any archaeological
or historical resources should be discovered.
The accumulated average annual construction cost for the 22 structures
is $37,225 including operation and maintenance cost. The benefits

The same basic engineering design will be used for all 22
small structures. The backfill of the core and the run of
the channel will be essentially the same for all dams built.
The fill material for the core and the run of the channel
for each site will consist of approximately four hundred
cubic yards of soil material.
The construction of the 22 small dams will consist of
approxmately 243,031 cubic yards of soil material. Listed
below is a break down per structure on the approximated
yards for each site.
