MEMORANDUM
TO: John Dorney, Water Quality Section
Division of Environmental Management
FROM: Stephanie E. Goudreau, Mt. Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: January 30, 1995
SUBJECT: Application for 401 Certification by City of Gastonia
for installation of sewer lines along an unnamed
tributary to Catawba Creek, Gaston County (No. 95030).
This correspondence responds to a request by you for our
comments regarding the application for 401` Certification by the
City of Gastonia for installation-.of sewer line along an unnamed
tributary to Catawba Creek along SR 2439 and SR 2714. The sewer
line will cross SR 2710, SR 2711, and SR 2445.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
the following recommendations:
1) Stream crossings should be minimized, located at narrow
areas, and made perpendicular to the stream where possible.
2) Sewer lines should also be buried in the substrate at stream `0
crossings or attached to bridges so that fish passage is not
blocked and debris does not collect.
3) If sewer lines will be encased in concrete at crossings,
this must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not
contact live stream water. This will lessen the chance of
altering the stream's water chemistry and causing a fish
kill.
4) An undisturbed vegetated buffer zone should be preserved VA
between the stream and construction activities, except at
crossings. Where the buffer zone is less than 50 feet wide,
erosion control measures should be especially stringent.
5) Excavated material should be stockpiled away from streams.

:t
t
No. 95030 Page 2 January 30, 1995
6) Riparian vegetation, especially trees, should be preserved
as much as possible at stream crossings. Trees that must be
removed should be cut near ground level, leaving the stump
and roots in the bank for stability and to possibly sprout.
7) Natural materials should be used as much as possible to
restore stream banks at crossings. Riprap should be limited
to the stream bank below the high water mark, and vegetation
should be used for stabilization above high water.
8) Permanent herbaceous vegetation in disturbed areas should be
established within 15 days of ground disturbing activities
to provide long term erosion control. We prefer a "seed as
you go" strategy rather than allowing a large amount of soil
to lay bare.
9) A portion of the right-of-way (ROW) (1 acre scattered)
should be planted with VA-70 lespedeza, Korean lespedeza,
and/or partridge pea to provide food and additional habitat
for wildlife.
10) The ROW should be mowed if necessary not more than once
every 2-3 years. We recommend mowing only in February and
March.to protect small game nesting later in the year.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
project. If you have any questions regarding these comments,
please contact me at 704/652-4257.
