1.0 INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT
The applicant, Tryon Equestrian Partners, LLC, began developing the initial phases of a
resort, equestrian center, and a commercial/residential community known as the Tryon
International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in 2014. The resort is a master planned facility on
1,405 -acres northeast of Tryon in Polk County, North Carolina. The resort will include an
equestrian facility, a spa and resort hotels, horse farms, single-family home sites, and
associated infrastructure. To date the privately owned facility has invested approximately
$125 million dollars.
A permit request was previously submitted to expand the facility in June 2015 based on
current plans at that time. An individual permit was subsequently issued on January 11,
2017 for 446 linear feet of permanent stream channel impacts specifically associated with
parking and access to the largest stadium/arena on the property. This permit also authorized
120 linear feet of temporary stream impacts associated with utility line installation in the
residential areas in the former White Oak subdivision. In the final stages of the permit
issuance, TIEC was awarded to be the host site for the World Equestrian Games (WEG)
scheduled to take place in September 2018. The need for additional infrastructure to host
this event plus the continued planned expansion of this resort facility will have impacts to
streams/wetlands beyond those recently permitted.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) suspended the previous permit authorization
on February 3, 2017 pending the modification and submittal of this revised permit request
for additional stream/wetland impacts. However through recent coordination, the USACE
has agreed to reinstate a portion of the authorization to allow the 120 linear feet of
temporary stream channel impacts associated with utility construction to proceed based on
a February 15, 2017 letter.
Based on the changes to the project plans and then the subsequent permit suspension and
partial re -instatement of temporary impacts, this permit modification is requesting impacts
totaling 3,929 linear feet of permanent stream channel impacts and 0.09 acres of wetlands.
A detailed background of previous permits and project history is located in Appendix A.
1.1 Proiect Location
The TIEC is located at the intersection of Pea Ridge Road and US Highway 74
northeast of Tryon in Polk County, North Carolina. To access the site from
Asheville, take I-26 East to Exit 67 (US Highway 74). Continue on US Highway
74 East and take the Pea Ridge Road Exit (Exit 170). Turn right on to Pea Ridge
Road and the site is immediately to the south. In general, the site is bordered to the
north by Pea Ridge Road and to the south and east by Sandy Plains Road. White
Oak Creek bisects the site generally east to west. A site vicinity map (Figure 1)
and USGS topographic map (Figure 2) are attached for review.

1.2 Jurisdictional Waters
Streams on site include White Oak Creek and unnamed tributaries. Streams within
the TIEC project boundary are tributaries to White Oak Creek. White Oak Creek
is a tributary to the Green River. The Green River is a tributary to the Broad River,
which is a navigable -in -fact water in South Carolina. Tributaries on site, including
White Oak Creek, are classified by the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) as
class "C" waters.
There are wetlands located on site. The majority of wetlands are associated with
one large, contiguous forested wetland located within the floodplain of White Oak
Creek. Other wetlands identified on site are small and adjacent or abutting
associated stream channels.
The site also contains two open -water ponds. These off-line ponds were built by
previous owners approximately 7 years ago. The larger pond was constructed with
a synthetic liner and water levels are maintained with a ground water pump. This
pond is used for irrigation of the golf course and is not jurisdictional. The smaller
pond is considered jurisdictional.
A "Notification of Jurisdictional Determination" was issued on March 6, 2015
under Action ID SAW -2013-02262.
There have been two additional parcels added to the project area that will serve as
ancillary parking during the games. The jurisdictional determination information
for these two areas are included in Appendix B. There are stream channels located
on these parcels and the table below has been updated to reflect the addition of these
areas.
The site contains the following amounts of jurisdictional waters on site:
On-site Totals
Feature
Amount Unit
Stream
66,585 linear feet
Wetlands
21.40 acres
Open Water
4.04 acres
2.0 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The TIEC project site consists of 1,405 -acres of the equestrian facilities (arenas, barns,
track), commercial facilities, residential lots and roads, undeveloped wood land, a partially
finished (12 holes) golf course, approximately 6 single-family homes, and approximately
3 miles of roads. Figure 4 depicts infrastructure/facilities that is currently constructed
and/or under construction. In general, elevations range from approximately 966 feet above
mean sea level (MSL) on the northern portion of the property to 760 feet above MSL on
the southeastern portion of the property (Figure 2). There are eleven natural communities

present on site which includes over 66,000 linear feet of stream channel, 21 acres of
wetlands and 4 acres of open water ponds. The community types have been described in
detail in the previous submittal and therefore have not been included in this modification.
The additional parking areas that have been added are 24 acres (North Parcel) and 73 acres
(Parcel P106-23) respectively. The 24 -acre parcel is located on the north side of Hwy 74
at the Pea Ridge Road interchange and has already been graded and includes existing gravel
parking areas. There is a stream channel located in the southern portion of the site that has
been left wooded/undisturbed as noted in Appendix B. The 73 -acre parcel is located to the
south of the TIEC facility and across White Oak Creek. This area is predominately wooded
with Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). These trees range
in age from approximately five to thirty years old. These areas have been planted in dense
rows or densely seeded patches and almost completely shade out other forms of vegetation.
Drought tolerant ferns such as bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) and ebony spleenwort
(Asplenium platyneuron) were observed but uncommon. Common greenbriar (Smilax
rotundifolia) was also occasionally observed. There is also a stream channel that begins in
the southwestern portion of the property as noted in Appendix B.
3.0 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
During the previous permit submittal/approval, Section 7 Endangered Species Act
consultation was completed. The project site contains suitable habitat for Dwarf Flowered
Heart -Leaf (Hexastylis naniflora), Small Whorled Pogonia (Isotria medeoloides), White
Irisette (Sisyrinchium dichotomum) and Northern Long -Eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis).
Dwarf -flowered heartleaf is the only listed species found on the site but will not be
impacted by the development which is still the case. By letter dated August 4, 2015, the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurred with the `not likely to adversely affect'
determination and that consultation under Section 7 has been completed for the areas
previously evaluated.
The southern additional parking area (Parcel P 106-23) does contain suitable habitat for the
Dwarf Flowered Heart -Leaf (Hexastylis naniflora) and the Northern Long Eared Bat
(NLEB). However, no species of Hexastylis nanifloria was observed (only Hexastylis
arrifolia was observed), therefore CEC believes there will be no effect on this listed
species. CEC has also consulted the latest guidance from USFWS with regards to the listing
of the Northern Long -Eared Bat (NLEB) and has determined that these additional areas
would be considered `exempt' from the 4(d) rule for the NLEB since they are not located
near confirmed/identified hibernation sites and maternity tree roosts.
4.0 CULTURAL RESOURCES
During the previous permit submittal/approval, Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) was completed. Ultimately, archaeological surveys were
conducted in which several ineligible resources were identified and/or resources were not

located within proposed impact areas and therefore eligibility determinations were not
made. One archeological site (31 PL90) was not evaluated for an eligibility determination
since they were not in/near the proposed site, however this site is now being assessed as
part of this permit modification. The Mill Cemetery (part of 31 PL83) and the other on-site
19th century cemetery will still be protected from disturbance in accordance with NC
G.S.14.
Archaeological surveys for the recently added 73 -acre parking parcel (Parcel P106-23) is
currently on-going. CEC will coordinate the results of these new assessments with the
USACE and SHPO once received. An archeological survey of the North Parcel is not being
conducted due to its current condition as a parking area since 2015.
5.0 PROJECT PURPOSE
The project purpose is the continued development of the Tryon International Equestrian
Center as a mixed-use residential and commercial resort development that is capable of
hosting the World Equestrian Games.
6.0 PROPOSED PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The TIEC is a 1,405 -acre equestrian -based development with multiple programming
components some of which have been constructed and some of which are currently under
construction. Figure 4 depicts the individual programming components and their current
state of development (e.g. constructed, undergoing construction, and proposed/future
pending permit authorization). In general, the area properly known as the Tryon
International Equestrian Center (i.e. `main facility') is approximately 100 -acres and is
comprised of a densely developed area for equestrian sporting to include competition
fields/arenas and barns/stables which are serviced by restaurants, shops and parking. There
are multiple types of structures/facilities within this area as can be seen on Figure 4 to
include:
• A 1.76 -acre main stadium arena that seats 6,000 spectators but plans include
expanding this seating capacity to 13,500.
• A 3.5 -acre secondary arena of all-weather footing.
• An 8.3 -acre engineered grass ring on a special blend of all-weather footing.
• Six practice rings with all-weather footing with covered viewing areas for both
spectators and horses at each ring.
• A 2.5 -acre arena is currently being enclosed to support full indoor activities and
will be configured to seat up to 5,000 spectators around the ring.
• Seven permanent barns.
• 1,056 stalls (10'x12) equipped with mats, fans, tack management, and wash stalls.
• 115 lockable tack rooms.
Additional residential and commercial development is currently on-going throughout
different areas of the property. The area immediately to the north of the main facility is

approximately 45 -acres and is being actively graded for a mixed-use development to
include multiple hotels, restaurants, retail, cinema, fitness/sports complex, a chapel, town
homes, condominiums, and a welcome/visitor center. The re -location of the Pea Ridge
Road and Sheehan Road off from Hwy 74 is currently being constructed in this area and
will include a roundabout to facilitate traffic to/from Hwy 74 which is the main access
point to the site.
There are also various types of semi-permanent and permanent residential housing spread
near the main facility and throughout the project area as well. Currently, there are RV
parking/hook-ups that can be rented weekly along with a planned log cabin rental
community in which six cabins have already been constructed. Included in this plan is the
construction of another log cabin rental community and several areas associated with
development of `farmettes'. The farmettes are private residences that range in size from 5
to 10 acres and include a private riding arena and stables/barns for each farmette that are
in close proximity to the main facility. Also as previously mentioned in the
background/project history, TIEC also purchased the abandoned White Oak Plantation
residential development and golf course. The golf course has been abandoned and will be
re -developed at some point in the future. There is also a 100 -mile cross-country course for
recreational and competitive equestrian events that is located throughout this portion of
property. Currently there is an `olympic village' planned near the eastern boundary of the
project area that will serve as temporary offices/stations for international competitors
during the Games. This area will ultimately be converted to farmettes in the future post -
Games.
Additional expansion and subsequent future impacts to stream channels and wetlands on
the site were always a possibility as indicated to the regulatory agencies during the previous
permit submittal. However, the timeline for this expansion and subsequent impacts was
greatly accelerated due to the facilities approval to host the 2018 World Equestrian Games
(Games). These Games are held world-wide at a select number of facilities every four
years. TIEC was notified that it would host the 2018 Games in November 2016 during the
finalization of the previous permit request. TIEC was chosen to host the Games due to the
existence of a substantial portion of the needed infrastructure already in place and also
being centrally located in one place (versus events being spread throughout the region).
Over 500,000 spectators and participants are expected to attend the Games over this two-
week period.
The Games are comprised of 7 categories of events (e.g. disciplines) that will occur over a
two-week period in September 2018 to include Show Jumping/Dressage,
Eventing/Driving, Reining/Vaulting/Para, and Endurance. In addition to the basic direct
needs to support these events (i.e. fields, arenas, and stables/barns), support infrastructure
such as bathrooms, spectator seating, parking, and a WEG `olympic village' are also
needed. In order to accommodate these sporting events/competitions and the venue support
infrastructure, the preferred plan includes the construction of an additional multi-purpose
field and spectator viewing/parking, restrooms, and concessions. Also, in order to provide
additional on-site hotel accommodations for the Games and for future use by visitors to the

facility/area, impacts are proposed to stream channels associated with the construction of
parking areas to serve this new on-site hotel.
The recently approved permit authorized 446 linear feet of permanent stream channel
impacts for the expansion of the largest stadium/arena on the site to allow for parking and
access for this field and overall road access to the eastern side of the facility. This impact
is still needed, however additional impacts needed now total 3,483 linear feet of stream
channel. Approximately 1,608 linear feet is associated with the construction of an
additional 650' X 500' (7.5 -acre) multi-purpose field in the area adjacent to where the
recently approved impacts were authorized. An additional 1,875 linear feet of stream
channel is also needed for the construction of parking areas to service one of the recently
proposed on-site hotels and two additional barns. Please refer to Figure 6 — Impact
Overview Map.

6.1 Additional Multipurpose Field & Road Access (Impacts #E1, E2 & E3)
As noted in the table, Impacts E1 and E2 were previously authorized and associated
with the expansion of parking areas adjacent to the main stadium and a portion of

this impact is still need for parking adjacent to the main stadium, however, now a
majority of the impacts are associated with an adjacent multi-purpose field (Figure
7E). An additional multipurpose field is needed to host the World Equestrian
Games (Games) and future competitive events. This field will be a grassed 500' X
650' (7.5 acres) arena to serve multiple competitive events during the Games and
for future use. There will also be spectator stands, concessions, and restroom
facilities constructed around the field to provide the support infrastructure needed
for the Games. During the Games, this field will serve as the starting point for a
100 -mile cross-country endurance event. There will also be an additional entrance
road constructed along the eastern side and to the south of the field that will provide
access to the main facility during the Games and beyond. This road will intersect
Pea Ridge Road and will be one of the two main ingress/egress points for the facility
during the Games and beyond. Total permanent impacts associated with the
construction of parking for the main stadium, this new multi-purpose field, ancillary
structures and road access is 2,054 linear feet of stream channel.
6.2 Hotel Parkine (Impact #E4)
There are several hotels being constructed as part of the mixed-use commercial
development plan for the site and in order to provide additional on-site guest
housing during the Games. A 4 -story, 250 -guest hotel will be constructed near the
main facility in an area that is currently developed/surrounded by RV rental
facilities. There is an existing lodging check-in building that will be expanded as
part of this new hotel facility. Accessible parking will be needed for guests and
employees for this hotel. Current county ordinance require that parking spaces be
provided at a ratio of 1:1 per room and 1:3 for employees therefore the required
number of spaces to serve this hotel is approximately 280 spaces (Figure 7B).
Currently, the Polk County ordinance also requires that parking not be more than
400 -feet from the hotel. Based on these requirements an overall planning to meet
the project purpose/need, approximately 803 linear feet of stream channel and 0.09
acre of wetlands is proposing to be filled to provide adequate parking for this hotel.
6.3 Barns (Impact #E5)
Two additional barns and approximately 220 horse stalls were determined to be
needed based on expected/comparable participation in previous Games compared
with the current number of barn/stalls available at TIEC. Adjacent parking to these
barns is also needed so that trailers can be parked near the occupied stalls.
Approximately 1,072 -linear feet of stream channel is proposed to be filled
associated with this impact (Figure 7B).
7.0 AVOIDANCE & MINIMIZATION EFFORTS

The engineering and planning team evaluated several on-site alternatives to minimize
impacts associated with the permit modification request. Also, based on the previous
permit submittal and coordination, the applicant agreed to eliminate all road crossing
impacts in the residential portions of the former White Oak Plantation which avoided
impacts to 462 linear feet of stream channels. The on-site avoidance/minimization
discussion below supplements the previous information submitted in relation to the overall
siting of this facility and related avoidance/minimization efforts.
7.1 New Multi -Purpose Field Re -Configuration
Approximately 2,054 -linear feet of stream channel impacts is associated with
construction of a new 650' X 500' (7.5 acres) multipurpose field at the eastern
extent of the facility, ancillary structures, road access and the previous parking
areas and expansion of the main stadium. Several different design options were
evaluated for this area to include a much larger field at 1000' X 1000' feet (23
acres). However, this alternative would extend fill into White Oak Creek and was
determined not be practicable. Another option was to re -configure the field to be
orientated so that the widest part of the field faces north -south (versus east -west as
proposed). As depicted in the attached plans, this configuration would not reduce
impacts to the stream channels due to the fill slopes associated with the road grading
needed based on current topography that extends to the south of the field. Also,
there would be a large pit/hole left to the south of the field which would create
significant safety concerns as well.
This orientation would not balance the cut/fill material which the preferred
orientation does and would create an excess of fill material that would need to be
excavated/hauled off. Approximate estimates for removal of an overburden of cut
material was estimated at an additional $2.5 million dollars. Another reason for the
preferred orientation is due to this field serving as the start point for the endurance
course during the Games. Approximately 150 horses are expected to be lined up to
enter the grass track at the eastern extent of the field and then continue on through
the 100 -mile endurance course. By orientating the field with the wider section
facing east -west, this allows space for the horses to line up safely and start the event.
7.2 Hotel Parking Re -Configuration
Approximately 803 linear feet of stream channel impacts and 0.09 acre of wetland
impact is associated with the construction of parking to serve a new proposed on-
site hotel. The parking need for this hotel is dictated by Polk County ordinance and
was estimated to be approximately 280 -spaces within 400 -feet of the hotel. Several
alternatives were evaluated to re -configure the parking as shown in the attached
plans. Alternative #1 (Figure 7G) moved all of the parking to the center of the
temporary `olympic village' in order to completely avoid impacts to the stream
channel/wetland upstream of the newly proposed barn/construction. However this
was not considered feasible since it would not provide parking adjacent to the hotel
10

and not meet the County's ordinance since all of the spaces were over 400 -feet from
the hotel.
Another alternative (#2) (Figure 7H) evaluated the use of retaining walls so that a
portion of the stream channel could be avoided and parking could be shifted to the
west near the `olympic village'. This option does not provide the number of spaces
needed that is required by the ordinance and was determined not to be practicable.
8.0 ALTERNATIVES — OFF SITE AND NO ACTION
A previous off-site alternatives analysis was submitted that addressed other
potential off-site locations for the siting of this facility. Due to the project purpose
which is the continued expansion of this existing facility, no off-site alternatives
were evaluated for the newly proposed impacts.
In consideration of the "No Action" alternative, the proposed project would not be
able to be completed without impacts to jurisdictional streams and wetlands. The
Corps requires that a No -Action Alternative be analyzed which takes into account
the "predictable actions," if any, that may occur should the Corps decide not to act.
If the Corps chose not to act, a Section 404 permit would not be authorized for the
site. For the project to continue, the footprint of the buildings and grading would
need to be decreased so that the existing buildings and topography could
accommodate site infrastructure. Additional development of the equestrian
facilities would likely be eliminated from the project design due to limited space.
Existing roads on site would need to be used as primary assess; and existing utilities
would need to service the site. Currently, existing roads and utilities are not
comprehensive enough to service the entire development. Lot owners would be
left without road access or utility services; and the equestrian facilities would not
be constructed to the fullest potential. The project purpose and need would not be
met.
In relation to the newly proposed impacts and the No Action alternative, the
additional multipurpose field needed to provide for the disciplines in the Games
would be eliminated and ultimately jeopardize the success of the Games being held
at TIEC currently and in the future. The same case holds true for the newly proposed
stable/parking areas which is needed to house horses that will be competing in the
Games.
The No Action alternative relating the proposed parking impacts for the new hotel
would not allow the construction of this hotel to occur which would decrease
occupancy on this site and make already limited lodging in this area even more
scarce.

9.0 CONCEPTUAL MITIGATION PLAN
Upon completion and implementation of practical avoidance and minimization efforts, a
total of 3,929 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and 0.09 acre of permanent wetland
impacts associated with the development of the TIEC are unavoidable and included in this
modified permit request. Approximately 290 linear feet of stream impact was mitigated
for associated with the Nationwide Permit 39 issued for the equestrian facilities (Action ID
2013-02262) and therefore is not included in the table below. Also, the 115 linear feet of
stream channel impacts that were previously authorized but not mitigated for is being
compensated for with this mitigation plan. Total stream channel impacts that require
compensatory mitigation are 4,044 linear feet. Unavoidable stream impacts will be
mitigated for at a compensatory mitigation ratio of 2:1 based on the good quality of the
stream channels.
The following is a summary of the basic mitigation requirement for the proposed project:

9.1 Off-site Mitigation — Harmon Dairy
The applicant is proposing to mitigate for 4,044 linear feet of stream channel
impacts at a 2:1 ratio through off-site permittee responsible mitigation at the
Harmon Dairy in Polk County. The Harmon Dairy mitigation site (Phase 1 and 2)
will provide 7,080 mitigation credits. The remaining balance of required stream
mitigation (1,008 If.) will be acquired from NCDMS, an approved mitigation bank,
or other permittee responsible project.
A site visit of the proposed mitigation site was conducted with the regulatory
agencies on January 26, 2017. Figures for the conceptual Mitigation Plan are
provided in Appendix C. Phase 1 of the Harmon Dairy Mitigation site was
reviewed and approved in previously approved/suspended Corps permit and will
mitigate for stream impacts E1, E2, and WO1-3. Phase 2 of the Harmon Dairy will
provide 5,954 stream mitigation credits. Completion of the mitigation plan for
Phase 2 of the Harmon Dairy is in progress and will be submitted to the regulatory
12

agencies for review as soon as possible. Below is a summary of the stream credits
that the Harmon Dairy site will provide towards the overall compensatory
mitigation requirement of 8,088 linear feet of stream channel.

10.0 SUMMARY
The current proposed project is requesting a total of 3,929 linear feet of permanent stream
channel impact and 0.09 acres of wetland impact. Alternatives have been discussed and
the project as proposed is the least damaging practical alternative which meets the project
purpose. Potential impacts to the physical and chemical characteristics of the ecosystem,
biological characteristic of the ecosystem, impacts on special aquatic sites, and potential
effects on human use characteristics will be minimal as discussed in the previous submitted
and decision document. The project is not contrary to the public interest and will aid in the
continued growth of Polk County as also discussed in the previous submittal and decision
document. While the project will impact streams and wetlands, the overall impact to
stream resources on site for the project is minimal (impacts to 6% of streams on site) and
is offset by adequate mitigation that has been conceptually approved by the regulatory
agencies.

The TIEC includes approximately 935 acres of property previously known as White Oak
Plantation. White Oak Plantation was originally delineated in 2003 by C1earWater
Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) and verified by the US Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) in October of 2004 under Action ID 2004-30849. White Oak Plantation was
planned as an 18 -hole golf course community with equestrian oriented amenities. In
December of 2005, the Corps issued Nationwide Permits 12 and 13 for bank stabilization
and a water intake on White Oak Creek under Action IDs 2006-30110 and 2006-30195.
DWR issued the associated Water Quality Certification in December of 2005 under Project
#05-2049. In June of 2006, the Corps issued Nationwide Permit 39 (Action ID 2006-
32154) for two permanent road crossings impacting 139 linear feet of stream, 12 temporary
road crossings to aid in utility installation, and 12 utility line crossings. This Nationwide
Permit was re -authorized and modified in November of 2008. The modification authorized
a cumulative total of 150 linear feet of permanent stream impacts; however, only 115 linear
feet of permanent impacts were completed. In February of 2009, the Nationwide Permit
12 was re -authorized for 165 linear feet of temporary stream impacts and 0.008 acre of
temporary wetland impacts.
In 2012, the local bankruptcy court ordered the auction of White Oak Plantation. The
auction was ordered after the developers failed to pay for an irrigation line Polk County
had extended to the property and back taxes. At that time, approximately 29 lots were sold
and approximately 6 houses were constructed in the original development. The property
was purchased, following an upset bid, by Overmountain Trace Holdings, LLC. Tryon
Equestrian Partners, LLC purchased the White Oak Plantation property from
Overmountain Trace Holdings, LLC in 2013.
Also in 2013, Tryon Equestrian Partners purchased approximately 417 acres adjacent to
John Shehan Road which has become the main site for the equestrian facilities. The
equestrian facilities main site was delineated by Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) and a

feet of permanent stream impact and 5 linear feet of temporary stream impacts associated
with development of the initial phases of the equestrian facilities. DWR issued the
associated Water Quality Certification in February of 2014 under Project #13-1200. This
impact has been completed and has been mitigated for.
The original White Oak Plantation property (approximately 935 acres) was re -delineated
in November of 2014 by CEC along with additional property purchased by Tryon
Equestrian Partners, LLC adjacent to US Highway 74. The site was verified by the Corps
in March of 2015 under Action ID 2013-02262 which was the AID assigned to this permit
request.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
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
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
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)
that 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) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not
necessarily been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Notes on Characteristics Identified in Assessment Worksheet
1. Consider channel flow with respect to channel cross-sectional area (expected flow), drainage area, recent precipitation, potential
drought conditions, surrounding land use, possible water withdrawals, presence of impoundments upstream, vegetation growth in
channel bottom (as indicator of intermittent flow), etc.
2. Human -caused alterations may include relocation, channelization, excavation, riprap, gabions, culverts, levees, berms, spoil piles
adjacent to channel, etc.
3. The riparian zone is the area of vegetated land along each side of a stream or river that includes, but is not limited to, the
floodplain. Evaluation should consider width of riparian area with respect to floodplain width, vegetation density, maturity of
canopy and understory, species variety, presence of undesirable invasive species (exotics), breaks (utility corridors, roads, etc.),
presence of drainage tiles, logging activities, other disturbances which negatively affect function of the riparian zone.
4. Evidence of nutrient or chemical discharges includes pipes, ditches, and direct draining from commercial and industrial sites,
agricultural fields, pastures, golf courses, swimming pools, roads, parking lots, etc. Sewage, chlorine, or other foul odors,
discolored water, suds, excessive algal growth may also provide evidence of discharge.
5. Groundwater discharge may be indicated by persistent pools and saturated soils during dry weather conditions, presence of
adjacent wetlands, seeps, and springs feeding channel, reduced soils in channel bottom.
6. Presence of floodplains may be determined by topography and the slope of the land adjacent to the stream, terracing, the extent of
development within the floodplain, FEMA designation if known, etc.
7. Indicators of floodplain access include sediment deposits, wrack lines, drainage patterns in floodplain, local stream gauge data,
testimony of local residents, entrenchment ratio, etc. Note that indicators may relic and not a result of regular flooding.
8. Wetland areas should be evaluated according to their location, size, quality, and adjacency relative to the stream channel, and
may be indicated by beaver activity, impounded or regularly saturated areas near the stream, previous delineations, National
Wetland Inventory maps, etc. (Wetlands must meet criteria outlined in 1987 delineation manual and are subject to USACE approval.)
9. Channel sinuosity should be evaluated with respect to the channel size and drainage area, valley slope, topography, etc.
10. To evaluate sediment deposition within the channel consider water turbidity, depth of sediment deposits forming at point bars and
in pools, evidence of eroding banks or other sediment sources within watershed (construction sites, ineffective erosion controls). In
rare cases, typically downstream of culverts or dams, a sediment deficit may exist and should be considered in scoring.
11. When looking at channel substrate, factor in parent material (presence of larger particles in soil horizons adjacent to the stream), average
size of substrate (bedrock, clay/silt, sand, gravel, cobble, boulder, etc.), and diversity of particle size (riprap is excluded).
12. Indications of channel incision and deepening may include a v -shaped channel bottom, collapsing banks, evidence of recent
development and increased impervious surface area resulting in greater runoff in the watershed.
13. Evaluation should consider presence of major bank failures along the entire reach under evaluation, including uprooted trees on
banks, banks falling into channel, formation of islands in channel as they widen, exposed soil, active zones of erosion, etc.
14. Increased root depth and density result in greater bank stability. Consider the depth and density that roots penetrate the bank
relative to the amount of exposed soil on the bank and the normal water elevation.
15. Assessment of agriculture, livestock, and/or timber production impacts should address areas of stream bank destabilization,
evidence of livestock in or crossing stream, loss of riparian zone to pasture or agricultural fields, evidence of sediment or high
nutrient levels entering streams, drainage ditches entering streams, loss of riparian zone due to logging, etc.
16. Riffle -pool steps can be identified by a series of alternating pools and riffles. Abundance, frequency, and relative depth of riffles
and pools should be considered with respect to topography (steepness of terrain) and local geology (type of substrate).
Coastal plain streams should be evaluated for the presence of ripple -pool sequences. Ripples are bed forms found in sand bed
streams with little or no gravel that form under low shear stress conditions, whereas, dunes and antidunes forth under moderate
and high shear stresses, respectively. Dunes are the most common bed forms found in sand bed streams.
17. Habitat complexity is an overall evaluation of the variety and extent of in -stream and riparian habitat. Types of habitat to look
for include rocks/cobble, sticks and leafpacks, snags and logs in the stream, root mats, undercut banks, overhanging vegetation,
pool and rife complexes, wetland pockets adjacent to channel, etc.
18. Evaluation should consider the shading effect that riparian vegetation will provide to the stream during the growing season. Full
sun should be considered worst case, while good canopy coverage with some light penetration is best case.
19. Stream embeddedness refers to the extent that sediment that has filled in gaps and openings around the rocks and cobble in the
streambed. The overall size of the average particle in the streambed should be considered (smaller rocks will have smaller gaps).
20. Evaluation should be based on evidence of stream invertebrates gathered from multiple habitats. Scores should reflect
abundance, taxa richness, and sensitivity of stream invertebrate types. (see attached examples of common stream invertebrates on page
4).
21. Evaluation should include evidence of amphibians in stream channel. Tadpoles and frogs should receive minimum value, while
salamanders, newts, etc. may be assigned higher value.
22. Evaluation of fish should consider the frequency and, if possible, the variety of different fish taxa observed.
23. Evaluation of wildlife should include direct observation or evidence (tracks, shells, droppings, burrows or dens, hunting stands, evidence
of fishing, etc.) of any animals using the streambed or riparian zone, to include small and large mammals, rodents, birds, reptiles,
insects, etc.
