Project #60019-1208-04 PIN #121394.00 Spring Hill, Maury County, Tennessee

Dear Mr. White: We have reviewed your proposal to replace an existing 24-inch corrugated metal pipe encapsulating 30 linear feet of stream with a 70 linear foot, 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe along an unnamed tributary to Carter's Creek. The attached Notice of Coverage authorizes the work as proposed. Pursuant to the Tennessee Water Quality Control Act of 1977 (T.C.A. § 69-3-101 et seq.) and supporting regulations the Division of Water Resources is required to determine whether the activity described in the attached Notice of Coverage will violate applicable water quality standards. This permit may also serve as a federal §401 water quality certification (pursuant to 40 C.F.R. §121.2). This activity is governed by the General Permit for Construction and Removal of Minor Road Crossings. The work must be accomplished in conformance with accepted plans and information submitted in support of application NRS16.227B and the limitations and conditions set forth in the General Permit for Construction and

Removal of Minor Road Crossings (enclosed). It is the responsibility of the permittee to ensure that all contractors involved with this project have read and understand the permit conditions before the project begins. Please note that excavation and fill activities associated with the road crossing must be separated from flowing waters. This may be accomplished through the utilization of cofferdams (non-erodible materials), berms or temporary channels. The bottom of the culverts shall be constructed below the stream bed elevation to allow natural substrate to reestablish. Over-widening of the channel is expressly prohibited under the terms of the general permit. All box culverts with more than one barrel shall be constructed in a manner which will concentrate baseflow into one barrel. All disturbed areas must be revegetated or otherwise stabilized upon completion of construction. Annual Maintenance and Coverage Termination Permittees will be assessed an annual maintenance fee of $350 for coverages that exceed one year. Please note that this maintenance fee does not grant the right to extend coverage past the expiration date of the General Permit itself. Permittees may terminate coverage prior to the expiration date by submitting a completed notice of termination form (NOT), which is available on the division’s webpage at

http://tdec.tn.gov/etdec/DownloadFile.aspx?row_id=CN-1450. A complete NOT should include photodocumentation of the finished project area. The division will notify the permittee that either the NOT was received and accepted, or that the permit coverage is not eligible for termination (due to existing deficiencies) and has not been terminated. We appreciate your attention to the terms and conditions of this general permit for aquatic resource alteration. If you have any questions please contact the permit coordinator, Ms. Vena Jones, by e-mail at Vena.L.Jones@tn.gov or by phone at (615) 253-5320. Sincerely,
