RE: Jurisdictional Determination for US Highway 64 Improvements, TIP R-2536, Randolph
County, NC
Dear Ms. Hair:
It was discovered during the calculation of potential impacts to be used in the NEPA document,
that some small areas of the design extended outside the surveyed study area and required
additional delineation to be included in the final data set. It was determined an additional field
visit was necessary to delineate these features. A field visit was made on June 19, 2014 to
delineate and locate these features. The newly delineated features are only located in Section B.
To avoid confusion from these and previous changes, we have elected to provide a new complete
JD package for section D(1)that includes all of the updates requested from the field verification
and also include the newly delineated areas in Section B as well. This package is intended to
replace the package that was sent prior to the field verification and only includes features
determined to be jurisdictional. Features determined to be non-jurisdictional are no longer
included on the forms and/or mapping. A complete set of mapping and the waters feature table
are included in this packet but only the forms relating to the new features delineated in 2013/2014
are included in the packet.
Attached are wetland and stream data forms, documentation, and mapping for the project. We
are requesting an Approved Jurisdictional Determination of the features located within the project
study area. Enclosed mapping for the project includes a vicinity map, a "jurisdictional features"
map on aerial photography, and a "jurisdictional features"topographic map. The identified
wetlands and streams are shown on both the topographic map as well as the aerial photography.
This package includes the following sections:

Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW,complete
Section IILA.1 and Section III.D.1.only;if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW,complete Sections IILA.1 and 2
and Section IILD.1.;otherwise,see Section IILB below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is"adjacent':
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY(THAT IS NOT A TNW)AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS(IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands,if any,and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are"relatively permanent
waters"(RPWs),i.e.tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally(e.g.,typically 3
months).A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional.If the aquatic resource is not a TNW,but has year-round
(perennial)flow,slap to Section III.D.2.If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
slap to Section IILD.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation.Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial(and its adjacent wetlands if any)and a traditional navigable water,even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW,or a wetland directly abutting an RPW,a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW.If the tributary has adjacent wetlands,the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands.This significant nexus evaluation that combines,for
analytical purposes,the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary,or its adjacent wetlands,or both.If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands,complete Section IILB.1 for
the tributary,Section IILB.2 for any onsite wetlands,and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary,both onsite
and offsite.The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IILC below.

All wetland(s)being considered in the cumulative analysis:8
Approximately(1.36)acres in total are being considered in the cumulative analysis.

For each wetland,specify the following:
Directly abuts?(Y2N) Size(in acres) Directly abuts?(Y/N) Size(in acres)
W1I-13(N) 0.41 ac WJJ-B(Y) 0.08 ac
WKK-B (Y) 0.07 ac WLL-B(Y) 0.01 ac

Summarize overall biological,chemical and physical functions being performed:These wetlands perform water filtration
functions and contribute organic carbon to downstream food webs. Many of them provide breeding habitat for amphibians and
chorus frogs were calling i a breeding chorus from at least wetlands WMM-B and W11-13.
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical,physical,and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations,a significant nexus exists if the tributary,in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands,has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical,physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include,but are not limited to the volume,duration,and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW,and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance(e.g.between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW).Similarly,the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW,as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook.Factors to consider include,for example:
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs,or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species,such as feeding,nesting,spawning,or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),have other relationships to the physical,chemical,or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note:the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below,based on the tributary itself,then go to Section 11L1):
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands,where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below,based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands,then go to Section lILD:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW.Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below,based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands,then go to
Section 11L1):Wetlands W11-13,and WOO-13 both occur in the floodplain and receive floodwaters occasionally from the parent
stream. They also provide habitat for amphibians in addition to providing water filtration functions,and organic carbon to
downstream food webs.

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW,complete
Section IILA.1 and Section III.D.1.only;if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW,complete Sections IILA.1 and 2
and Section IILD.1.;otherwise,see Section IILB below.

2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is"adjacent':
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY(THAT IS NOT A TNW)AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS(IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands,if any,and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are"relatively permanent
waters"(RPWs),i.e.tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally(e.g.,typically 3
months).A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional.If the aquatic resource is not a TNW,but has year-round
(perennial)flow,slap to Section III.D.2.If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
slap to Section IILD.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation.Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial(and its adjacent wetlands if any)and a traditional navigable water,even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW,or a wetland directly abutting an RPW,a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW.If the tributary has adjacent wetlands,the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands.This significant nexus evaluation that combines,for
analytical purposes,the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary,or its adjacent wetlands,or both.If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands,complete Section IILB.1 for
the tributary,Section IILB.2 for any onsite wetlands,and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary,both onsite
and offsite.The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IILC below.

the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime(e.g.,flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert),the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical,physical,and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations,a significant nexus exists if the tributary,in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands,has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical,physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include,but are not limited to the volume,duration,and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW,and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance(e.g.between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW).Similarly,the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW,as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook.Factors to consider include,for example:
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs,or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species,such as feeding,nesting,spawning,or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary,in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any),have other relationships to the physical,chemical,or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note:the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below,based on the tributary itself,then go to Section IILD:

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review(e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity,and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review(e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity,and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review(e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity,and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
