Smith Mill Creek Restoration Project
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Dear Mrs. Jones:
The Smith Mill Creek Restoration Project site is located at 1 Moose Heart lane in Buncombe County within the
city limits of Asheville (Figures 1 & 2). Wildlands Engineering (Wildlands) is working on behalf of the property
owners to stabilize and enhance a stream channel. Agent Authorization forms are attached which provides
verification that Wildlands is acting on behalf of the four property owners.
Project Overview
The proposed project involves approximately 1,849 linear feet (existing length) of stream restoration and 0.29
acres of wetland enhancement (vegetative). Smith Mill Creek has been straightened and relocated to the valley
wall. It also has numerous sewer crossings. Channel and valley wall erosion are adversely impacting
downstream water quality and sediment and vegetation impacts are resulting in habitat impairment.
Conducting stream restoration activities on Smith Mill Creek and daylighting UT2, along with riparian buffer
restoration activities, will significantly improve stream and wetland functions and reduce water quality impacts.
Flood relief benches will be established and some channel relocation will move the stream away from the valley
wall. In -stream structures will be used to promote energy dissipation in pools since meander geometry cannot
be reestablished throughout the reach. Work will be conducted in the summer with planting the following
dormant season.
Methodology
Wildlands delineated potential waters of the U.S. within the proposed project area using the USACE Routine On -
Site Determination Method defined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and
subsequent Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Regional Supplement Version 2.0 (2012). Wetland Determination
Data Forms representative of on -site wetland areas as well as upland areas are enclosed (DPi-DP2).
Non -wetland waters (streams) were reviewed using USACE Ordinary High -Water Marks guidance (2005) and
classified using the North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) Methodology for Identification of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (Version 4.11, 2010). NCDWR Stream Classification Forms
representative of on -site stream channels are enclosed (SCP1-SCP2).

Field Investigation Results
The results of the on -site field investigation indicate there are 3 streams and 1 wetland located within the
assessment area: Smith Mill Creek, UT1, UT2, and Wetland A (Figure 3). UT2 is piped and neither the outlet
location nor perennial/intermittent status is known. Smith Mill Creek (NCDWR Index No. 6-79) is classified as C.
On -site stream channels are located within NCDWR Subbasin 04-03-02 of the French Broad River Basin (HUC#
06010105). Approximate linear footage and acreage of potential on -site waters, within the project area are
summarized in Table 1.

Soils
Soil types within the assessment area shown in figure 4 include Clifton -Urban land complex (CuD), Evard-Cowee
complex (EVE2), Tate -Urban land complex (TmQ Udorthents, loamy (Ud), and Udorthents-Urban land complex
(UhE). Clifton -Urban land complex is well drained and found on mountain slopes and ridges. Evard-Cowee
complex (EVE2) is well drained and typically found on ridges and mountain slopes. Tate -Urban land complex
(TmC) is well drained and found in stream terraces, fans, and benches. Udorthents, loamy (Ud) is well drained
and typically found on backslopes. Udorthents-Urban land complex (UhE) is somewhat excessively drained and
typically found on backslopes, frontslopes, and toeslopes. Soil mapping units are from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey website
(https://websoiIsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm).
Proposed Impacts
Streamwork will be conducted with trackhoes and earth moving equipment such as track trucks or skid steerers,
utilizing mud mats as a stream crossing as necessary. Instream work will be necessary to realign the channel and
install structures — some of the work will be offline and some will be online. An appropriate turbidity curtain will
be installed at the downstream extents of the project before grading along the stream is allowed to occur. When
possible work will occur from the top of the bank. When in -channel access is required, base flow will be
diverted away from the active work area to reduce contact between the active work area and the actively
flowing stream. If the diversion is not sufficient to minimize contact between active work area and the stream
flow a clean water partial pump around may be implemented to reduce stream flow near the work area. Bank
grading will be done with caution to avoid spillback of graded sediments into the stream.
We have included the following supporting data
• Cover Sheet,
• Vicinity, USGS, Site, Soils Map, Impacts Map,
• Jurisdictional determination request form and deeds,
• Preliminary jurisdictional determination form,
• Field stream and wetland data forms,

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
❑✓ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed
decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and
circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWT or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity,
the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to
seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to
request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory
mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to
request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or
other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or
undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a
PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way
by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use
either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD,
a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or
individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331.
If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official
determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review
area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable
waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the
review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
