Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below
For purposes of this form an RPW is defined as a tributary 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 A 1 and 2
and Section III D 1 otherwise see Section III B below

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 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 C below

For each wetland specify the following
Directly abuts9 (Y/N) Size (in acres) Directly abuts9 (Y/N) Size (in acres)
Summarize overall biological chemical and physical functions being performed
C SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow charactenstics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tnbutary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical physical and biological integrity
of a TNW For each of the following situations a sigmfrcant 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 detennine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e g between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tnbutary 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 TNW9
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 TNW9
• Does the tributary in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any) have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs9
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

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

Dingle Creek Enhancement and Bank Stabilization Plan
December 14, 2011
Prepared by:
RONMENT

Dingle Creek Stream Enhancement and Stabilization Plan
This plan for stream enhancement and bank stabilization has been developed for
an approximately 950 linear foot reach of Dingle Creek, immediately above and
through the property of Mrs. Kathy Verble and an approximately 150 linear foot
reach of an unnamed tributary to Dingle Creek within the Verble's property. A
stream and watershed assessment was conducted in November 2011 that
revealed several major conditions of instability including actively eroding stream
banks, failing vertical banks, sections of over - widened channel, torturous
meanders, large debris in the channel, poor vegetation, and minor channel
incision. The watershed assessment also discovered increased storm -flow
frequency and intensity from upstream development. This plan is designed to
provide sufficient information to secure the necessary permits from regulatory
agencies to implement a stream enhancement and bank stabilization plan for this
subject reach of Dingle Creek.
Location and Description
Dingle creek is located within the French Broad River watershed. Coordinates for
the project site are (- 82.5355026571184, 35.5042437026376). The drainage
area for this section of Dingle Creek is 2.2 square miles. This watershed includes
steep forested mountain slopes at the headwaters and residential and
commercial development immediately above the project area.
The subject reach is located immediately below a "Stormwater wetland and
stream stabilization /enhancement" project that was permitted for the City of
Asheville Transportation and Engineering Department in March 2008 (Action ID:
2008 - 00540). This project includes flow diversion with inlet and outlet structures
through new /enhanced wetland areas within the floodplain off of the right bank
of Dingle Creek, as well as rock cross vane and j -hook structures within Dingle
Creek. The plans for the project show stream work down to the border with Mrs.
Verble's property. However, the last visible evidence of stream work from this
project is approximately 250' upstream of Mrs. Verble's property corner and
coincides with STA 0 +00 of our 2011 existing condition survey.
Another change in the watershed up above the proposed project is increased
development, impervious surfaces, and the resulting heavy stormwater flows.
Since their purchase of the property in 2004, the property owners have seen a
significant increase in the frequency of high flows. These frequent high flows,
channel instability, and the visual signs of stress and erosion against the banks
along their property are the motivation for the property owner's actions.

Existing Conditions
Numerous walks for visual assessments upstream, within, and downstream of
the subject reach were conducted, as well as a detailed survey. Longitudinal
profile and cross section data is included in this report. A photo document is also
attached.
This channel is an E4 stream type with a slope of 0.01 and a 1.13 sinuosity. The
channel is vertically stable. It is slightly entrenched, but is not actively incising
due to bedrock grade control. The upper end of the reach (0 +00 — 2 +00) shows
significant lateral movement, bank erosion, and over - widening. There are two
torturous meanders within the subject reach (STA 1 +00 — 3 +00 and 6 +50 —
8 +50). Banks are very unstable in the upper reach and moderately stable below
STA 3 +50. Actively eroding bank failures and undercuts, large and small, are
located throughout the reach.
While many sections of instability were found in this reach, there were also some
moderately stable sections. These were located between STA 4 +00 and 7 +00.
These stable sections were used to determine stream type and stable channel
dimensions. Stable channel dimensions for this channel were determined from
reference cross sections within the reach and double checked against regional
curves. Abkf =24 - 27 sqft, Wbkf =15 - 18 ft, Dbkf =1.4 - 1.8 ft.
Due to upstream development, this reach receives frequent high flows. This is
evident from monitoring stream flows in relation to rainfall. The property owner
has also seen noticeable difference in the frequency of high flows, as well as the
appearance of the stream since recent upstream development. Existing bank
vegetation is also showing stress from the frequent high flows in the form of
fresh exposed roots, leaf /debris racking on plants, and compromised density.
Vegetation along this reach varies from marginal to moderate. There are several
logs obstructing the channel from STA 0 +00 — 2 +00. This is due to maintenance
of a power line easement as well as bank erosion. Trees along the subject reach
include Red Maple, Holly, White Pine, Red Oak, Sycamore, and Dogwood.
Shrubs include Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Chinese Ligustrum. Other
plants include Doghobble, ferns, Blackberry, and various grasses. There are two
sections of existing boulder walls in this reach that were installed by a previous
property owner prior to 2004. The first begins near STA 3 +00 and the second
begins near STA 7 +50.
Objectives
1. Relieve two sections of torturous meanders
2. Stabilize two correlating sections of high stress stream banks

3. Increase overall bank stability throughout the entire reach
4. Enhance the hydrologic function of the channel
5. Enhance downstream water quality by reducing erosion
6. Enhance habitat
Objective 1
Objectives 1 and 2 are to correct the existing conditions between STA 1 +00 and
3 +00, as well as between STA 6 +50 and 8 +50. Both of these sections contain
torturous meanders which will both be relieved by lowering and shaping point
bars on the inside of the bends. This will not significantly change the pattern of
base flow, but will allow bankfull and higher flows to travel more in -line with the
direction of the valley. These lowered point bars will also reduce stress on the
outside banks of these meander bends by allowing high flows to spread out and
adjusting the flows more down - valley instead of directly into the banks.
Objective 2
The outside bend between 2 +00 and 3 +00 will also be stabilized using a cross -
vane / j -hook hybrid structure that will act as grade control at the existing grade
and initiate the start of the pool and direction of flow entering the bend. The
bank itself which is currently an actively eroding vertical wall with little to no
vegetation will receive a Toe Wood Structure that will use logs, roots, and other
woody debris along with live cuttings and brush- mattressing. This approach,
developed by Dr. Dave Rosgen, can handle high stresses that often occur on the
outsides of meander bends. The structure only gets stronger as live cuttings
root and grow. This approach also creates exceptional macro invertebrate and
fish habitat.
Objective 3
Outside of the two torturous bends, the channel bank stability is dependent on
vegetation. This is typical in E Stream types. Because of the increase in the
intensity and frequency of high flows due to up stream development, the stream
bank vegetation that worked historically now struggles to maintain bank stability.
Additional plantings, including seed mixes, livestakes, and potted shrubs and
trees, will be installed throughout the subject reach. Other bio- engineering
methods such as brush mattresses, soil lifts, and coir logs may also be used to
repair trouble areas.
Objective 4
The stabilization of the banks, enhancement of pools, and improvement of
access to bankfull terraces will all contribute to an improved hydrologic function
of Dingle Creek through this reach. Sediment transport should reach equilibrium

with stable channel dimensions, and lateral migration should stop with vegetated
banks and flow relief over the point bars.
Objective 5
The bank stabilization and vegetation should result in a significant reduction in
bank erosion and downstream sediment. This improvement in water quality will
benefit wildlife as well as people downstream.
Objective 6
There will be many habitat enhancements from this project. An increase in plant
diversity will benefit birds, insects, and other wildlife. Bank stability and water
quality will be of value to fish, macroinvertebrates, crayfish, salamanders, and
other reptiles.
Project Time Table
Pending all necessary approvals, work will take place between March 2012 and
April 2012.

PLANTING PLAN AND MAINTENANCE

Planting and Maintenance of Riparian Sites
Riparian sites are usually adjacent to rivers and waterways. Soils often contain clay, high
amounts of organic matter, and /or saturated sand.
Habitat: Riparian sites generally vary from partial shade to full sun. Many species are
adapted to moderate shade and the protective habitat of the trees. These areas are often
subject to flooding. Wetland sites, by necessity, must have wet soil or saturated soil to
standing water, a high water table, and vary from partial shade to full sun.
Site Preparation
Identify and eradicate existing undesirable vegetation by having a licensed spray technician
apply an approved herbicide such as glyphosate or a similar aquatic herbicide formulation.
CAUTION: Some persistent species, such as purple loosestrife, phragmites, or reed canary
grass may need multiple applications of glyphosate. Before seeding, excess dead
vegetation should be burned or turned under if conditions permit. Newly constructed
riparian sites should be seeded as soon after construction as possible.
These sites generally involve working around trees and shrubs while minimizing damage to
trunks and roots. Leaving the surface rough by creating mounds and kettles for an
undulating micro - topography can be very beneficial to obligate wetland plants. The soil is
often too wet to till. Newly constructed wetlands, retention basins, and wet construction
sites should be seeded as soon after construction as possible.
Fertility: Due to the potential for water contamination, the use of lime or fertilizer in
riparian areas is not recommended. We do recommend the addition of organic materials
when topsoil has been depleted or removed. Check your soil pH and select species
adapted to that pH.
Riparian Seeding Method: Hand seed, broadcast, or hydro seed. Drag or roll the
surface to incorporate the seed 1/4 " -1/2" into the soil. A seed drill can be used when
sufficient room exists for operation.
Wetland Seeding Method: Hand seed, broadcast, hydroseed, or drill seed when the
water table is drawn down. It is not practical to seed any wetland where the water is more
than 2" deep or where severe flooding is likely to occur before germination. The same
caution applies to mulching. Often, natural seed banks (seeds in wetland soil) will
establish part of the vegetation cover.

Planting and Transplanting
Soil Bioengineering: This is the term used to describe the use of plant material to arrest
and prevent slope and stream bank failure and erosion. The roots and stems serve as
structural and mechanical elements in a slope protection system. Live cuttings and rooted
plants are embedded in the ground in various arrays to serve as soil reinforcements,
hydraulic drains, and barriers to earth movement. Once established, this living material
effectively controls a number of stabilization and erosion control problems by binding the
soil with its root system and cultivating a natural vegetative cover. Bioengineered sites
have the advantage of blending with natural surroundings and are self- repairing.
The bioengineering material recommended on this plan is dormant live material. If it
cannot be installed immediately when it arrives at the job site, it must be properly stored.
Place material out of direct sunlight in a cool, wet place, such as under straw or burlap. If
packaged, open the pallets, boxes, and plastic bags so they can be thoroughly watered.
Do not allow them to dry out. Soaking before planting significantly increases their survival
and growth rate. Planting is best done during dormancy.
Live Stakes
Stakes are dormant live woody cuttings of a species with the branches trimmed off. Live
staking performs an important function, creating a root mat that stabilizes the soil by
reinforcing and binding soil particles together. Stake establishment also improves
aesthetics and provides a habitat for wildlife. Live stakes can be used on their own to
secure other bioengineering materials or as an anchor for erosion control and geo- fabrics.
Stakes or poles can also be inserted or driven through openings in rock structures, such as
gabions, riprap, boulders, and other retaining structures.
Installation Notes: Install stakes during their dormancy (late fall to early spring). Do not
allow them to dry out. Soaking before planting significantly increases the survival and
growth rate. Drive a pilot hole in firm soil, planting at right angles (buds oriented up) with
at least two- thirds of its length underground. Plant stakes randomly or on triangular

spacing at 3' -6' apart. Tamp the soil around the cuttings, water in, and cover with mulch
to help retain moisture.
Live Stake Sizes: 3/8 " -1 1/2° diameter; 2'-4' lengths

Live Whips
Whips are slender, live woody shrub material. Whips are well suited for very moist areas at the
edges of streams, commonly used in conjunction with gabion structures, riprap, and geo- fabrics.
Installation Notes: Push whips into the ground as far as they will go without breaking. At least
two - thirds of the whip should be covered with soil. They can be installed either by lying on an angle
or erect in the soil. When using whips with hard structures, be sure they are long enough to reach
into the soil behind or below the structure. (Example: If installing whips through riprap, take into
account the 3' riprap depth; therefore, install a 6' whip at least 2' into the soil behind the stone and
1' above the riprap surface.)
Live Whip Sizes: 3/8 " -1" diameter; 4' -6' lengths

Brush (Branch) Layers
Brush (branch) layers are living branches placed on a terrace along contours of a stream
bank and interspersed between layers of soil. This technique is used to repair a slump or
gully and is one of the most effective techniques for re- vegetating scour holes.
Installation Notes: Brush (branch) layers are placed on terraced benches with two- thirds
of the basal material tilted into the slope and covered with soil. Branches should protrude
beyond the face of the terrace. Before installing, soil terraces can be additionally protected
by putting down geo- fabric. Starting at the bottom of the slope, secondary brush (branch)
layers can be added every 3'-4' proceeding up the slope. Straw mulching the finished
surface is recommended to provide moisture retention and additional erosion control.
Planting should be done during the dormant season.
Brush Layer Sizes: 3 linear ft per bundle, 3 -4 branches thick; 3' -6' bundles
recommended.

Brush Mattresses and Wattles (Fascines)
Brush Mattresses
Brush mattresses are layers of living branches (laid in a crisscross pattern, one to two
branches thick) that are placed on a stream bank to form a living ground cover. The
mattress that is formed protects the surface of the bank until the branches can root and
native vegetation becomes established. This living system normally roots in the entire
bank face, encouraging natural infiltration and immediately acting as a sediment trap.
Installation Notes: Place material with the basal ends located toward the bottom of the
slope. Using 3' square spacing, drive dead wedge stakes into the plant material. Stretch
wire or biodegradable twine or rope diagonally around the dead stakes, and finish driving
the stakes to tighten the wire, twine, or rope and secure the mattress. Finally, place a thin
layer of soil over the entire area to encourage rooting.
Brush Mattress Sizes: 3/8 " -3" diameter, random length, 2 -4 branches thick

Watt /es/Fascines
Wattles, also known as fascines, are living branches bound together in long, tubular
bundles. When placed in shallow trenches across the slope of a bank, these structures
provide protection from erosion and create a sediment trap. This material provides
immediate bank support even prior to root growth. Once established, this live rooting
material grows into a living fence -like erosion barrier. Within one growing season, roots
and shoots grow along the entire length of the structure, quickly stabilizing the bank.
Installation Notes: This technique is simple, effective, and can be installed with little site
disturbance. Material is placed in 6" wide trenches on banks or slopes parallel to the stream
contour and partially covered with soil. Wedge -like dead stakes secure them in place at 2'-
3' intervals. Live stakes can also be used in conjunction with dead stakes tosecure the
material. Straw mulching the site after installation retains moisture and. surface erosion.
Wattle /Fascine Sizes: 6' or 8' lengths and 4 " -8" diameters or 8 " -12" diameter bundles
are recommended for ease of
handling.
Dead Wedge Stakes
Dead wedge stakes are pieces of hardwood cut into long wedges. They are used to secure
wattles, brush mattresses, and other applications of soil bioengineering and erosion control
measures.
Stake Sizes: 1 -1/4" x 3 -1/4" x 2 -1/2" long
Rooted Cuttings, Seed /ings, and Containerized Plants
Rooted cuttings, seedlings, and containerized plants, (plugs) are recommended to quickly
establish herbaceous plants, shrubs, and trees. These materials should be planted 2' -8'

apart and their roots must be covered with soil but no deeper than they were growing in
their nursery bed or container.
A combination of planting methods improves the chances for successfully fulfilling the
restoration objectives of bank stabilization, flood attenuation and habitat enhancement.
Salvaging On -Site Vegetation
Potential transplants may include small trees up to 3" in diameter. Sycamores are an easily
salvaged species. Prune these trees to about 6 feet and scoop the entire root mass with
the bucket of a track hoe. Keep the root balls and surrounding soil intact. Don't rip limbs
or bark from the transplants. Such native shrubs as alder (Alms spp.), elderberry
(Sambucus canadensis), and spicebush aindera benzoin) also are good transplants. Prune

shrubs to 3 or 4' and harvest like the trees. Herbaceous plants can be salvaged as well.
Rushes (7uncusspp.), sedges (Carexspp.), and other tender plants can be harvested and
placed at the toe slope along the water's edge, where woody vegetation is not appropriate.
If salvaged vegetation cannot be installed immediately, stockpile it in a relatively moist
area or keep it continually moist. This is especially important during summer. Place woody
transplants at bank -full elevation or above. If soil is compacted in the planting area, loosen
it to a depth of at least 1'. Plant transplants the same depth at which they were originally
growing. Replace soil around the transplants and tamp it down to eliminate air pockets.
Spacing will depend on availability of material. If transplants are limited, start in critical
areas, such as along meander bends or near in- stream structures.
General Maintenance
• Very little can be done the first year. Spot treat invasive plants with appropriate
herbicides. Burning (by experienced professionals) is an alternative to mowing
every third year. NOTE: Wetland plants can often tolerate drier conditions than
their indicator status.
• Grassy weeds or persistent perennials can re- establish in certain types of soil.
Monitoring weeds and mowing is essential in the first and second years. Burning
(by experienced professionals) about every three years in early spring can prevent
shrub invasions.

• Infrequent dormant mowing (6 " -12" high) and controlled burning (by experienced
professionals) can protect native forbs and grass species from woody undergrowth
invasion. Spot treat for invasive plants.
• Transplanted seedlings and shrubs need temporary water until they become well
rooted. Irrigation of seeded areas is of value until seedlings become established.
• In addition to structural maintenance, siltation needs to be removed as needed.
Plants need to be trimmed back to maintain aesthetic value and invasive species
need to be controlled.
• Close mowing or extensive chemical use is not conducive to water quality
improvement and wildlife habitat.

Worksheet 5 -3. Field form for Level II stream classification ( Rosgen, 1996; Rosgen and Silvey, 2005).
Stream:
Dingle Creek, M. Verble Subject Reach
Basin:
French Broad Drainage Area: 1408 acres 2.2 miZ
Location:
Asheville, NC - Buncombe County
Twp. &Rge:
; Sec. &Qtr.: ;
Cross - Section Monuments (Lat. /Long.): 35.5042437026376 Lat / - 82.53550; Date: 11/04/11
Observers:
JM, JR Valley Type: VIII
Bankfull WIDTH (Wbkf)
WIDTH of the stream channel at bankfull stage elevation, in a riffle section. 15.82
Bankfull DEPTH (dbkf)
Mean DEPTH of the stream channel cross - section, at bankfull stage elevation, in a
riffle section (dbkf = A / Wbkf). 1.72
Bankfull X- Section AREA (Abkf)
AREA of the stream channel cross - section, at bankfull stage elevation, in a riffle
section. 27.27 ft
(Width /Depth Ratio (Wbkf/ dbkf)
Bankfull WIDTH divided by bankfull mean DEPTH, in a riffle section. 9.2
Maximum DEPTH (dmbkf)
Maximum depth of the bankfull channel cross - section, or distance between the
bankfull stage and Thalweg elevations, in a riffle section. 2.1 f
WIDTH of Flood -Prone Area (Wfpa)
Twice maximum DEPTH, or (2 x dmbkf) = the stage /elevation at which flood -prone area
WIDTH is determined in a riffle section. 35
Entrenchment Ratio (ER)
The ratio of flood -prone area WIDTH divided by bankfull channel WIDTH (Wfpa / Wbkf)
(riffle section). 2.21
Channel Materials (Particle Size Index ) Dso
The D50 particle size index represents the mean diameter of channel materials, as
sampled from the channel surface, between the bankfull stage and Thalweg
elevations. 32
Water Surface SLOPE (S)
Channel slope ='rise over run" for a reach approximately 20 -30 bankfull channel
widths in length, with the 'riffle -to- riffle" water surface slope representing the gradient
at bankfull stage.
0.0102
Channel SINUOSITY (k)
Sinuosity is an index of channel pattern, determined from a ratio of stream length
divided by valley length (SL / VL); or estimated from a ratio of valley slope divided by
channel slope (VS / S). 1.13
