Subject: Nationwide 14 Permit Application V
SR 1705, Blythe Stepp Road
Henderson County
State Project # 140.045138 (DWQ Minor Permit $240.00)
Dear Mr. Baker:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen, grade,
drain and pave SR 1705, Blythe Stepp Road, in Henderson County. This secondary gravel
road will be widened to 18 feet. The work is necessary to improve safety and reduce
maintenance costs. Funds have been allocated and NCDOT would like to perform this work
during the 2008-09 paving season.
I am enclosing a PCN, astraight-line diagram with the proposed erosion control and
construction limits along this project. In addition, I am sending a typical section of the road,
drawings for the pipe culvert replacement as well as a marked county and USGS quad map.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Database was checked for records of threatened and
endangered species. There are no records. of threatened or endangered species for the
unnamed tributaries to Turnbreeches Creek. Additionally, there are no records downstream
of the project to the confluence of Turnbreeches Creek with Reedypatch Creek.
There are records of the white irisette (Sisyrinchium dichotomum), within approximately 0.7
miles of the project. During a preliminary site visit to the road, a number of plants were
observed that had the general characteristics of white irisette. It was determined during a
subsequent site visit that the plants that were thought to be white irisette were actually blue-
eyed grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium). However, due to the proximity of known records,
NCDOT biologists surveyed the project on June 14, 2007. No white irisette were observed
during the survey.
The unnamed tributaries are small (less than 1-foot wide) and do not have sufficient flow to
support mussels. The project is limited in scope and impacts from these culvert
replacements will be minimal. For these reasons, we believe there will be "no effect" on
threatened or endangered species.

The State Historic Preservation Office
reviewed this project (ER-08-0285) fo
investigations or surveys are required.
2
(SHPO) and the Office of State Archaeology have
r historic resources and found that no further site
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and
erosion on this project. Water will be pumped around the work area to minimize erosion
and sedimentation from the pipe trench. The construction foreman will review all
sedimentation control measures during installation to ensure sedimentation is effectively
controlled. If the planned devices are not functioning as intended, they will be replaced
immediately with better devices. The sedimentation control devices will be in place prior to
pipe culvert removal and remain in place until the new pipe is in place.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The unnamed tributaries to Turnbreeches Creek are small and are not shown on the USGS
topographic map. The streams have defined channels with a sand and gravel substrate.
The channels lack vegetation. Leaf litter along the channel has signs of deposition. The
stream at Site 2 shows signs of flow, but has been observed dry on several occasions and
may be intermittent. The tributaries flow into Turnbreeches Creek within approximately 975
feet of the project site. Turnbreeches Creek flows approximately 1.5 miles to the
confluence with Reedypatch Creek. Reedypatch Creek then flows approximately 4.1 miles
to the Broad River. Broad River flows approximately 3.2 miles to the backwaters of Lake
Lure. Lake Lure meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For these reasons,
we believe that the small unnamed tributaries of Turnbreeches Creek meet the definition of
Relatively Permanent Water and are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. To replace these culverts, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United
States in the Broad River Basin. Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to replace/extend two
metal culverts in unnamed tributaries to Turnbreeches Creek (DWQ Class: C, Tr). Listed
below is a summary of the proposed impacts.

Explain:
~ Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically tlows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section I[LF.

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 HLA.I and Section HLD.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections IILA.1 and 2
and Section IILD1.; 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, 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 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 IILB1 for
the tributary, Section IILB.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section IILB.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C 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.

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 Rapa~tos 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 TN W?
• 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:
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 IILD:
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 IILD:

B. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO SUPPORT JD: This JD form covers two tributaries. One is a perennial stream. Both tributaries
are in close proximity in the landscape and the site 2 channel is a tributary of site 1. The second site has not had tlow on several visits
including a visit on July 8, 2008. The second site does have a channel that lacks vegetation and leaf litter. This channel appears to he
intermittent but may flow seasonally. Springs feeding this channel may have been affected by the recent drought. .

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local landmarks such
as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property boundaries and
development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map and site plan must include
a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings, impervious surfaces, or other facilities
must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should include the appropriate USGS Topographic
Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps
may be included at the applicant's discretion, so long as the property is clearly defined. For
administrative and distribution purposes, the USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no
larger than 11 by 17-inch format; however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-
size construction drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans
are reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that the
project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of
Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands
or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits,
published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to
ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of
proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in
determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation
that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project;
establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as
streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing,
or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for
USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required
mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also
choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for
Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlatids/stnngide.httnl.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much
information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if
offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed
(restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed
restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed
method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed.
