STATE OF TENNESSEE 1. PUBLIC NOTICE NO. 00-89 DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2000 SUBJECT: Proposed Channel Relocation and Mitigation
for Unnamed Tributary, in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee TO ALL CONCERNED: The application described below
has been submitted for a Department of the Army Permit pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.
1344). APPLICANT: City of Franklin, P.O. Box 305, Franklin,
Tennessee 37065 LOCATION: Site One - Channel Relocation and Mitigation
Site on Unnamed TributaryMile 0.5, a tributary to Harpeth River Mile 87.7R,
along Liberty Pike, in Franklin,Williamson County, Tennessee (Franklin

Mile 0.8, a tributary to Watson Branch and Harpeth River Mile 89.2R, near
Curd Lane, in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee (Franklin Quad; lat
35-55-26.0400, lon 86-48-58.3920) DESCRIPTION: The proposed work consists of placing
approximately 485 of an existing concrete-lined channel into approximately
the same distance of 54 pipe culvert along Liberty Pike. This unnamed
tributary is a small, spring-fed stream which has been impacted in the
past by concrete-lining. Mitigation of this proposal would include removing
a 120 section of concrete-lining on the same tributary and restore
the streambed to an open channel (see Sheets 3 and 4 for mitigation details
of Site One). The proposed mitigation would consist of restoring the stream
to a gravel bottom, creating riffle and pool sections, and constructing
a cross section of 3 wide in pool areas and 10 wide in riffle
areas with 2:1 side slopes. Pin Oak seedlings would be planted along each
side of the stream on two alternating rows. In addition to mitigation at Site One, stream restoration
is proposed on another unnamed tributary (see Site Two on plans). This
mitigation would involve restoring approximately 400 of stream that
has significantly been impacted in the past from dumping and unauthorized
fill activities. Approximately 50 of the 400 would be impacted
in the future by a proposed culverted road crossing. Mitigation at this
site would be similar to the mitigation at Site One with first creating
a defined channel bed (see Sheets 5 and 6 for mitigation details). The
purpose of the channel relocation is to allow the proposed roadway expansion
and realignment of Liberty Pike with bike lanes, provide a safer route
in the developing area, and provide access to currently undeveloped property.
Plans of the proposed work are attached to this notice. Any person may request, in writing, within the comment
period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider
this application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity,
the reasons for holding a public hearing. Written statements received
in this office on or before October 13, 2000, will become a part of the
record and will be considered in the determination. Any response to this
notice should be directed to the Regulatory Branch, Attention: Amy Robinson,

Proposed Wetland Filling to Facilitate the Construction
of the Sevier Senior Center along U.S. Highway 441 in Sevierville, Sevier
County, Tennessee TO
ALL CONCERNED: The application described
below has been submitted for a Department of the Army (DA) permit pursuant
to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Before a permit can be issued, certification
must be provided by the State of Tennessee, Division of Water Pollution
Control, pursuant to Section 401(a)(1) of the CWA, that applicable water
quality standards will not be violated. By copy of this notice, the applicant
hereby applies for the required certification. APPLICANT:
Sevier County Economic Development Council 215 Court,
Suite 300 Sevierville, TN 37864 LOCATION:
North side of U.S. Highway 441 in Sevierville, Sevier
County, Tennessee; Gists Creek, Tributary to Pigeon River, Mile 1.0, Left
Bank, Pigeon Forge, TN Quadrangle (156-SE), Latitude: 35°-52-17.1,
Longitude: 83°-35-45.4. DESCRIPTION:
The applicant proposes the construction of a Senior
Center and associated driveways and parking areas just east of Sevierville
along U.S. Highway 441. Future development on the southwestern portion
of the site may include construction of an additional building. The permit
application includes the proposed alteration for the entire site, even
through the Senior Center is the only structure proposed at this time.
The proposed development would result in the filling of 1.01 acres of
wetlands to facilitate the proposal on the 13 acre site. Mitigation would
consist of the restoration of wetlands in the northwest corner of the
site, within the floodway. The proposed mitigation area currently contains
0.38 acres of wetlands. An additional 2.02 acres of wetland would be developed to increase the total wetland area to 2.4
acres. The mitigation would be accomplish by a) removing
and stockpiling the topsoil from the mitigation area, b) undercutting
approximately 1.0 to 1.5 feet of material, c) replacing the topsoil. The
shallow water table at the site would provide the majority of the water
to establish the wetland. A small, narrow channel (3 wide by 12
deep) would be excavated to provided additional hydrology from an unnamed
tributary of Gists Creek. A
variety of trees and shrubs would be planted on 30 centers to enhance
the existing wetlands, provide habitat diversity, and stabilize the mitigation
area. A monitoring program would be implemented for a five year period.
Any person may request, in writing, within the comment
period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider
this application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity,
the reasons for holding a public hearing. Written statements received
in this office on or before September 28, 2000, will become a part of
the record and will be considered in the determination. Responses to this
