Western North Carolina Stream Initiative — Hudson Camp Site
Rutherford County, North Carolina
Background
The Western North Carolina Stream Initiative (WNCSI) — Hudson Camp Site is a stream restoration project located off
Coxe Road, approximately three miles south of Rutherfordton, North Carolina in south central Rutherford County
(Figures 1- 3). The WNCSI program is a partnership between Resource Institute (RI) and the Natural Resource
Conservation Service (NRCS) that seeks to complete stream restoration projects on agricultural lands that have been
identified by NRCS staff in western North Carolina. These projects are typically somewhat longer and more
challenging, in one or more respects, than traditional NRCS-funded projects. NRCS federal grants fund WNCSI and
similar stream stabilization projects as agricultural best management practices for the purpose of reducing erosion
and sedimentation into streams, installing complementary practices such as fencing and watering, and in some cases
for habitat enhancement. NRCS approved Technical Services Providers (TSPs) are selected by, and contracted
with, RI to provide design and engineering services for the WNCSI projects. The designs adhere to NRCS standard
practices. Sites generally seek to achieve stable banks and/or channel stability through bank sloping, structure
installation or other minimally invasive methods. All bank sloping and structural improvements are accompanied
by stream bank planting. Existing buffers and vegetation are typically maintained or enhanced. Construction
work is being conducted by pre -qualified stream restoration contractors, selected by RI. These contractors have
substantial experience in stream restoration projects and work in partnership with TSPs and RI to complete high -
quality bank and channel stabilization efforts under this program.
Project Overview
The project proposes channel restoration to approximately 1,825 linear feet of Cleghorn Creek commonly
exhibiting incision and bank erosion. Proposed channel restoration includes excavating new channel alignment,
bankfull benches, and the installation of in -stream structures. Restoration will realign and stabilize channel
pattern, profile, and dimension. Proposed bankfull benches will provide flood storage and energy dissipation
during elevated flows. In -stream structures including brush toes with geolifts, constructed riffles, log vanes, and
rock j-hooks will be installed to stabilize restored bed and bank. New constructed banks will be matted and re -
vegetated for long-term stability.
Methodology
Wildlands performed a field delineation of 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). 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). A NCDWR Stream Classification Form representative of
one on -site unnamed tributary is enclosed (SCP1) but no form was completed for Cleghorn Creek which drains
approximately twelve square miles at the upstream end of the project area and functions as a perennial stream.

Field Investigation Results
The results of the on -site field investigation indicate there are two potential streams located within the proposed
project area including Cleghorn Creek and one unnamed tributary (UT1) (Figure 4). Cleghorn Creek (NCDWR index No.
9-26-(0.5) is classified as Class C. On -site stream channels are located within NCDWR subbasin 03-08-02 of the Broad
River Basin (HUC# 03050105). No wetlands were delineated in the project area. Approximate linear footage of
potential on -site waters is summarized in Table 1.

Soils
Soils within the project area are mapped as Chewacla loam which is characterized as a somewhat poorly drained soil
found on floodplains that frequently experience flooding but not ponding. The Chewacla loam has components that
are rated as hydric soils by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
Soils mapping units in Figure 5 are based on the USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey website
(https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm).
Proposed Impacts
Stream restoration is proposed to a section of Cleghorn Creek exhibiting active channel degradation with unstable
streambanks. The proposed stream work will impact project channels during construction however these activities
are designed to have an overall long-term positive effect using natural channel design techniques to restore and
improve stream function, establish flood storage, and provide floodplain connectivity. Stream work will be conducted
with excavators, trackhoes, and tracktrucks. Work will typically occur from the top of bank, however working within
the channel will be necessary for construction of new channel alignment and structure installation. The engineer will
be on -site and will require the contractor to take precautions to limit downstream sedimentation. Proposed impacts
are depicted on Figure 6.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
0 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 NWP 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:
