EXHIBITB\ ", In response to Hurricane Fran the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) anticipates providing assistance to local sponsors through the authority of the Emergency Watershed Protection program to remove debris from streams, channels, and other drainageways that poses a threat to life or property. It has been determined in consultation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, and the North Carolina Division of Water Quality that debris removal done under the following conditions will not require a Section 404 permit or State 401 water quality certification. 1) Removal of debris will be limited to vegetative materials. Excavation of soil/sediment shall not be undertaken. Uprooted stumps may be pulled from the ground (no excavation), but shallinclude no more than minimal amounts of soil attached to roots. Debris removal will be restricted to that associated with Hurricane -- --- ----.--- ---- "-".- .- --- .- - - - "-"-" - ._.- - - .-.- - --.. - _..-- - - - -- - Fran. 2) Debris will be disposed on high ground where practicable, or where in wetlands, sufficiently anchored (no excavation or fill) so that material will not be displaced back into the stream channel. 3) Debris placed in wetlands shall be spread in a manner that does not impede lateral water flow. 4) Equipment used will generally include hydraulic excavators equipped with mechanical thumb or grapple attachment, loaders, winches mounted on tracked or rubber-tired equipment, portable winches, and chain saws. ",'... i, . i' c' f .~~ 5) Heavy equipment working in wetlands must be placed on mats, or other measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance. 6) Equipment shall operate adjacent to the stream and not within the stream unless prior approval is granted. Where necessary, trees can be cut for assess to worksites; however, mechanized landclearing will not occur within wetlands at any time. Crossing a stream to gain access to the opposite bank is permissible. Crossing sites should be selected to minimize damage to the streambank and aquatic habitat. 7) No activity may cause more than minimal adverse impact on navigation. 8) In the event of a spill of petroleum products or any other hazardous waste, it should be reported to the N.C Division of Water Quality at 919-733-5083, Ext. 526 or 1-800- 662-7956 and provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act will be followed. 9) NRCS will be responsible for inspection and will ensure that the previously listed conditions are met. :1 iH CONSENT AGENDA DA TE : JJ!..:z;t -f .&..;.
