Dear Ms. F3eckwith:
I hnve enclosed a set of plans ii�cluding an erosion control plan, a PCN application for
NWP #14, aud a vicinity map relative to the proposed bridge replacement project on SR
] 241 Souther Road, Madison Cou��ty, NC.
We propose to replace the existing bridge with a precast box culvert with low flow sills.
The silis will inaintai�� stream dimension and pattern similar to existing conditions. The
ctdvPrt slope will be 1.0%. Stream slope at the site is 0.8%. Total culvert impact will be
29 linear feet witl� 41' of rip rap at the inlet and outlet for bank stabilization. A temporaiy
iinpe�vious dikc will be installed for dewatering during installation. Brevard Creek is an
a���proximately 10 foot wide stream witt� a predominately gravel, cobble, and sand
subsh�ate. Bre��ard Creek is classified as Class C.
Existing channel moiphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the
culvert. The culvect will be placed below existing sh�eambed elevation whenever
possible. Riparian vcgetation will be reestablisl�ed aloug disturbed areas associated with
the culvert consu�uction. Storsnwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or
buffers prior to entering streams.

' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
� For purposcs of this form, an RPW is defined as a tnbutary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.

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 III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections IiI.A1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacenY':
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. tribuYaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow aY least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
monYhs). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial tlow,
skip 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 waYerbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland direcYly abutting an RPW, a JD will require addiYional data Yo determine if the
waterbody has a signi6cant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the signi6cant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacenY 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 III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.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 III.0 below.

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 Yo determine if they significantly affecY 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 suppart 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 capaciry to transfer nutrients and arganic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relarionships to the physical, chemical, ar
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 III.D: .
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into

with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section F.3.c.iii of the
N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee Instrument
dated July 28, 2010. If the above referenced impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will
no longer be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from DMS.
