RE: Jurisdictional Determination for US Highway 64 Improvements, TIP R-2536, Randolph
County,
NC
fiZ_F.T�di�:F7fA
AECOM has been contracted to prepare an addendum to the updated Natural Resource
Technical Report (NRTR) for Alternative 29 of the US 64 Improvements dated May 2012. The
addendum will cover natural resource investigations for the proposed Zoo Connector (Section D
of the project) and Zoo Parkway (NC 159) that includes a supplemental study corridor that
NCDOT is investigating prior to the construction of the US 64 Improvements in Randolph County,
NoRh Carolina. Additional wetland and stream delineations and surveys were needed along Zoo
Parkway (NC 159) to capture features located in previously unsurveyed areas. The additional
unsurveyed area extent occurs along Zoo Parkway (NC 159) from approximately the intersection
of Freedom Trail and NC 159 south to a point approximately 1500 feet north of the intersection of
NC 159 and Zoo Parkway and includes an additional area of previously unsurveyed new location
that spans between previous Alternative 29 and NC 159. Surveys of NC 159 extend 250 feet
either side of the existing centerline and surveys of new location areas include a corridor
approximately 500 feet wide centered on the design centerline. Mapping is provided that shows
the limits of the study area. The existing location alignment is referred to as the D(1) Alignment.
Attached are wetland and stream data forms, documentation, and mapping for the project for
"additional unsurveyed areas and/or Zoo Connector". We are requesting a jurisdictional
determination of the identifed 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

Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale st�pparting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRlBUTARY {THAT IS NOT A'CNW} AND ITS ADJACENT WETLAn'DS (IF ANY):
This seckion summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent rvetlands, if any, and it helps
determine rvhether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanoshave been met.
The agencies will assert jarisdiction over non-navegahle tributaries af'1'NWs �vhere the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" {i2PWs}, i.e. tributaries that typicalty f�ow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonalty (e.g., typically 3
manths). A�vetland that directly a6uts an RPW is also jurisdictianal. If the aquatic resource is not a THW, but has year-round
{perennial} florv, skip to Section I(T.D.2. if the aquatic resonrce is a tivetland directly ahutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Secrion III.D.4.
A wekland khat is adj�cent to but that does not directly abvt an RPW requires a significaat nexus evaluafion. Corps distritts and
EPA regions �viH include in the record any avaiiabte infarmation that documents tbe existence of a significant nexus betMveen 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 mxtter of law.
If the wakerbody4 is not an RPW, ar a ivetland directiy abutting an RPW, a JD �vill require additianal data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has ad,jacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation znust
cansider the tributary in combinakian with ait af its adjacent weHands. This significant nexus evaivation that combines, for
analytical purpases, khe tributary anti atl of its adjacent 4vetiands is used whether the review area identitied in the JD request is
the fributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or bath. If the .ID covers a tributary with adjacent �ti�etlands, complete Sectio� II[.B.1 for
the tributary, Section fII.B.2 for any onsite weklands, and Section III,B.3 for atl �vet[ands adjacent to that tributary, hoth o�site
and offsite. The determination whekher a significant nexus exists is determineci in Section III.0 below.

C. SiGNIFICANT 1�EXUS DETERMINATION
A sigoificank nexus anatysis wi1l assess the flow characteristics and fuectians of the tribatary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they signICcantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
af a TNW. �'ar each of the fallowing situatians, a significanf nezus exists ii the tri6utary, in combination with all of its adjacent
ti��eklands, has mare than a specuTafive or insnbstanfial e1'fect on the chemical, physical andlor biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evatnating significant nexus include, 6ut are no# timited ta the volume, duration, and frequency of the llow
of water in the tributary and its proximiiy to a TNW, and the funciions performed by the tributary and all its adjatent
�vetlands. It is not appropriate ta determine signi�cant nexus based splely on any speci�c threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent �vetland ar be#ween a tributary and the TNV4'). Simitarly, the fact an sdjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a tloadplain is nat solely determinative of signi�cant nexus.
Dra�v connections between fhe featares docamented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapm�ns Guidanee and
discussed in the Instruetional Guidebook. E'actors ta consider inelude, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combinatian 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 fload waters reachiag a TTtW?
• Does the tributary, in cambinatian with its adjacent wettands (if any), pravide hahitat and lifecycle support fimctians for �sh and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young far species that are present in Ehe TNW?
• Does the tributary, in com6inatian with its adjacent wetEands (if any}, have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in com6ination with its adjacent wetlands (if any}, have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biolagical integrity af the TRiW?

8. CHARACTERISTICS C}F TRIBUTARY (THAT [S 1VOT A THW} AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristies of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if an,y, and it helps
determine whether or not the stan8ards for jurisdiction established under Rapanvshave been met.
The agencies wiil assert jurisdiction aver non-navigable tributaries of T1�IWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWsj, i.e. tributaries that kypicatly flow year-round or have eantinuous floiv at least seasanally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RFW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TN�V, but has year-round
(perennial} f�ow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wettand directly abutting a tributary with perennial tlo►v,
skip to Section �II,D.4.
A wefland that is adjacent to but tRat does na# directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions wilt inclade in the record any availabte information that documents the existence of a signiticant nexus k►etween a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable �vater, even
though a signifeset nexus �nding is not required as a matter of taw.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, ar a wetland direMly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a signiCcant nexus with a T1YW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, fhe significant nexus evaluation mus#
consider the kributary in com6inatzon with alt of its adjacent wetlands. This signiCcant nexus evaluation that comhines, for
analytical purpases, the trihutary and ali of its adjacent wetlands is used ►v6ether the re�ie}v area identified in the ,Ip request is
the tributary, or its adjacent rvetlands, ar both. If the JD covers a tributary �vith adjacent wetlands, complete Settion llLB.I For
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any ansite wetlanc3s, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to thaS iributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determinatian whether a signi�cant nexus exists is deterroined in Section III.0 below.

C. SIGNIFICANT 1�tEXU5 DETERMInATiON
A significant nexus analysis �vill assess Ehe flotv characteristics and functions af the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any n•etlands adjacenf ta the tributary ta determine if the�� significantly affeet the chemicat, physical, a�d biological integrity
of a TNW. For each af the fallowing situations, a sigqificant nexus exists if the tributary, in comhination with all af its ad,jacenf
�vekiands, has more than a speeutative or insubstantia! effecf on the chemicxt, physical and(or biological integrity af a TNW.
Considerations rvhen evaluating signiCcant nexns include, but are not limited to the volume, duraiion, and frequency oP the fiow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and khe functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine sEgni�icant nexus based solely on any sgecific threshold of distance (e.g. behveen a
tributary and its adjacenf tvetland ar 4eriveen a tributary and the TNV4'}. Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside af a floodpiain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Dra�v coanectfons bettiveen the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to eonsider inelude, for example:
• Does the tributary, in cambination with its adjacent wetlands (if any}, have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to rediice the amolmt oFpallutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in eombination with its adjacent wetlands {if any}, provide habitat and lifecycte support functians for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, ar rearing young for species that are present in tlie TTl W?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity tq transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with ifs adjacent �vetlands {if any}, have ather relationships to the physical, chemical,
biological integrity ofthe TNW?

This section summarizes infarmation regarding characteristics of the tribufary and its adjaeent wetIands, if any, and it hclps
determine �vhether or not the skandards for jurisdiction established under Rapanashave been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over nan-navigable tributaries af TNWs �vhere the tributaries are "relatively permanent
rvaters" (RPWs}, i.e. tribuiaries thak typically f1o►v year-round or have continuous ilow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months}. A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is alsa jurisdictionaL If the aquakic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perenniat} flow, skip to Settion IIl.D.2. If the aquatic resaurce is a wefland directly abutting a tributary with perennial ftow,
skip ta Section III.D.4.
A wetiand that is adjacent to bu# that does nat directty abut an RPW requires a signi�cant nexus evaluatian. Corps districts and
EPA regions wilt include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a signiticant nesus behveen a
relativeiy permaneok tributary khat is not perenniai (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditiona! navigable water, e�en
khough a signi�cant nexus finding is nat required as a matter of la►v.
If #he waterbody4 is nof an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD wiil require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a signi�cant nexus with a TNW. [f the tribufary has adjacent wet�ands, the significant nexus evaluatian must
consider the tribukary in combination �vith alt of its adj$cent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analyfical purposes, the tribu#ary and a1i af its adjacent 4vetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
khe tributary, or its adjacent wettands, or both. If the JD covers a tribuiary �vith adjacent fveUands, complete Section 111.8.1 for
the tributary, Sectio� III.B.2 for any onsite wettands, and Section III.8.3 #'ar all wetiands adjscent ta that tributary, boih onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a signiftcant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 belaw.

C. SIGNIFICANT lYEXUS DETERiYIItvATI(}N
A signiflcant nexus analysis will assess the #�a►v characteristics and functians of fhe tributary itsell' and the functions performed
by any weElands adjacent ta the tribatary to determine if they signiticanily affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a Tl�[�V. For each af the follafvi�g situatians, a signifieant nezus exists if the tri6utary, in combination with all of its adjacent
�vetlands, has more than a specutative or insubstantial effect on the chemica�, physical andlor biolagical integrity of a TNW.
Considerations ��hen evalaating significant nexus include, but are not limited to ihe valume, duration, and frequency of the 11ow
of water in the tribuEary and its proximity to a TNW, and the funetians performed by the tributary and sli its adjacent
tivetlands. Ik is not appropriate fo determine signiticant nexus based solely on any speci�c threshold of distance (e.g. beiween a
tributary and iks adjacent wetland or behreen a tril�utary and the TAit�. Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetiand lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not salety determinative af signi�cant nexus.
Draw cannections between the features documented and the effects an the TNW, as identified in the Rapa��os Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Cuidebook. Factors to cansider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands {if any), have the capacity to carry pollutanis or tlood waters io
TNWs, or to reduce the amount af palluiants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in cambinatian with its adjacent wetlands {if any}, pravide habitat and iifecycle support fimctions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing yaung for species that are present in the TTI W?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands {if any}, have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic car6on that
support dawnstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands {if any), have other relatianships to the physical, chemicaE, or
6ialogical integrity of the TN W?
