3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The Proiect is located in Buncombe County southeast of Asheville. The Project site is a platted undeveloped lot
located along Barrington Drive in the Poplar Ridge private residential community. An intermittent unnamed tributary to
Merrill Cove Creek flows across the site This stream is a small, borderline intermittent stream and scored a 19.5 on
the NC Stream ID form (form and photos attached), there is evidence of past disturbance along the stream corridor
that has caused the channel to lose definition in places Much of the stream corridor is dominated by invasive species
including Ligustrum sinense and Rosa multiflora. There are numerous mature trees also within the riparian area.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: No wetlands on the lot.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Approximately 300 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to construct a single family residence and associated features such as driveway, septic
drainfield and landscaping on the existing lot.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project will involve the construction of a driveway along with western property boundary to be used as a shared
entrance in the future with adjacent lot. The house site will be developed in the southern portion of the site with the in-
ground
n-
rg ound septic system located east of the house An existing intermittent stream (UT -UT -Merrill Cove Creek (Stream -
U flows from NW to SE across the site and is poorly defined through much of its path. The development of this lot
will involve both permanent and temporary impacts to Stream -1. Permanent impacts will be associated with the
installation of a 30" by 30' long HDPE pipe under the proposed driveway. Below the driveway pipe, Stream -1 will be
relocated towards the front of the lot. The proposed channel has been designed in according to natural channel
design concepts and will be protected within a permanent riparian buffer. The stream work will be conducted in the dry
through the use of a flexible pipe diversion.
f
Stream -1 Impact Description:
1) The proposed driveway pipe will be 30 feetJong with stacked rock headwalls. the slope of the pipe will be greater
than 5% and therefore the pipe will not be countersunk below streambed. A log grade control and rock cluster will be
installed within 10 feet downstream of the pipe to maintain channel stability below the pipe.
2) The proposed channel relocation will involve approximately 262 linear feet of channel disturbance beginning fust
below the proposed driveway pipe and extending towards the eastern property boundary The proposed channel will
be an `A' channel with frequent rock cluster mrj I rade controls and steps. Channel geometry was determined
using reference reach data and design specifics iotis-are shown on the attached plan sheets A permanent vegetated
buffer zone will be established adjacent to the new dhannel and will be Dlanted with native species following channel
stabilization. A three year monitoring plan is proposed and will include as -built cross sections and photo points
following construction and three years of qualitative monitoring following the as -built.

this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
5b. If yes, explain in detail according to "help file" instructions.
The initial prosect work at the site was started around 2000 with initial permitting possibly as early as the late 1990's. It
would appear that there were maybe 3 or 4 impact sites for the whole prosect but total permitted impact numbers are
not known It is also not known when any of the specific impacts occurred. Between 2011 and 2015 the initial project
became financially troubled (details unknown). In 2015 the current owner purchased the property and is proceeding to
develop the remaining lots. This PCN represents the first impact to jurisdictional waters requested by the current
owner
6. Future Project Plans
6a Is this a phased project? IS
Yes ❑ No
6b. If yes, explain.
This was a phased project but roads and infrastructure have been mostly completed planned development will be
confined to individual lot grading and home construction.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The new driveway and associated pipe impact for Lot 126 has been located very close to the western property line so
that the adiacent lot (#125) will be able to share the entrance and avoid an additional stream crossing. The remainder
of Stream -1 on the property is poorly defined, becomes braided in one area (due to past disturbance) and is choked
with invasive species. The proposed work is intended to create a stable single thread channel designed using natural
channel concepts and techniques, surrounded by a permanent buffer and replanted with native species. The net result
will be an enhanced, protected channel and riparian corridor.
b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
All proposed work in the stream channel will be performed in the dry, flow will be diverted using a sand bag dam and
flexible pipe. Much of the _grading required for the relocated channel will be accomplished in uplands and will not
disturb the existing flow. The work will occur during the summer months when the stream stops flowing for periods of
time.

Photo One: View looking to the north with UT -Merrill Cove Creek visible in the
foreground. Surface flow in the poorly defined channel is towards to the point of
observation. Barrington Drive can be seen along the right sise of the photo. The
proposed 30' culvert for the driveway crossing would be installed within this
stream reach. The property boundary is in the background at the line of
multiflora rose. The Project property had been recently bush -hogged.
Photo Two: View looking downstream on UT -Merrill Cove Creek towards to the
south from the same point of observation as in Photo One. Barrington Drive is
on the left side of the photo.

Photo Three: Photo taken looking downstream (south) on UT -Merrill Cove
Creek near the midway point of the Project property. The stream channel swings
away from Barrington Drive at this point while at the same time appears to lose
bed and bank definition as well as surface flow conditions.
Photo Four: View looking downstream on UT -Merrill Cove Creek near the
southern end of the Project properly boundary. The stream channel has lost bed
and bank characteristics with flow becoming diffuse.

❑ Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropnate sections in Section 111 below
Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TN W and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e g , typically 3 months)
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section Ill 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.A.1 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 "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, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.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 waterbody° 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 II1.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.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
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 tnbutary itself, then go to Section IIID: .
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 IIID:
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 III.D.
