A Request for Jurisdictional Determination regarding the approximate location and extent of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the approximate 1.5 acre project area, including a Request for Jurisdictional Determination form, figures, photographs, stream assessment forms, and Approved Jurisdictional Determination (Rapanos) form is found in Attachment B. Accompanying figures and permit drawings are included in Attachment C. Project Description The CSWS Peterson Drive Capital Improvements Project (CIP) proposes to restore stability and enhance approximately 362 linear feet of a degraded, unnamed perennial stream (relatively permanent water or RPW) located in a residential neighborhood bound by East Peterson Drive, South Tryon Street and East Cama Street in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC (Attachment C - Figures 1, 2, and 3). The degraded stream is proposed to be enhanced by realigning the existing channel in an effort to alleviate flooding, stabilize ongoing bank erosion, provide grade controls, provide an improved entrance condition at the downstream culvert at South Tryon Street, reconnect a flood control bench to the bankfull channel, and remove existing blockages. Vegetative treatments will include live-staking and bare root plantings using native plant materials, as well as the use of a riparian seed mix (Attachment C - Sheets 2 and 2A). It's an employee-owned company providing quality service since 1912 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services November 17, 2009 Peterson Drive CIP - Request for JD and NWP #27 anticipated that these channel improvements will help reestablish the biological and chemical integrity of this reach of the stream. Based on the drawings prepared by USlnfrastructure of Carolina, Inc. (USI), the proposed stream improvements will include the use of temporary cofferdams and temporary diversion ditches with rock check dams (Attachment C - Sheets EC1 and EC2), and temporary slope drains during construction as part of a pump-around plan to provide continued base flow to the downstream areas of Stream A while working in dry conditions. Four cross vanes will be installed within the upstream portion of the project area to provide grade control and enhanced instream habitat. These four permanent grade control structures will be constructed from stone that is lined with filter fabric. Three J-hook structures will be constructed within the slightly relocated channel to provide additional bank stabilization measures through thalweg control. These J-hooks, in conjunction with a proposed 89 If gabion wall to be installed in an upland area, will also provide an improved entrance condition at the downstream culvert at South Tryon Street (Attachment C - Figure 4). Typical channel sections are depicted on Attachment C - Sheet 2. Details on the proposed grade control structures, J-hook structures, gabion wall and plantings are depicted on Attachment C - Sheet 2A. The project area encompasses approximately 1.5 acres of undeveloped woodland situated in the backyards of a residential neighborhood. The site is bounded by South Tryon Street to the west, East Peterson Drive to the south, and East Cama Drive to the north and east (See Attachment C - Figures 1 and 2). The proposed project would result in temporary impacts to approximately 362 linear feet (2172 square feet/0.05 acre) of the on site stream (Stream A). Stream A is a jurisdictional, perennial RPW that was concluded to be aquatically important. The restored Stream A channel will be 344 linear feet, resulting in permanent impacts to 18 linear feet of the stream channel. Channel improvements will include bank stabilization, flood bench construction and the removal of debris from the existing channel and will result in an overall net increase in the stream's aquatic resource functions. Waters of the U.S. within the project area and project impacts are described below. Background As noted on aerial photography (2007) viewed on Google Earth, and verified by field review, the project area is currently partially developed as a residential development in an urban setting. Stream A is located in the undeveloped forested areas situated in the backyards of the residential properties. The forested area is fragmented and dominated by invasive, edge habitat species (e.g., Chinese privet, English ivy) that are low in value. The project area is relatively level to gently sloping along the stream corridor. The stream enters the project area as a perennial RPW after draining through a reinforced concrete pipe located upstream, outside of the project area. Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the project area, as described below, are limited to the one jurisdictional, perennial stream (See Attachment B - Approximate Jurisdictional Boundary Field Map). The Request for Jurisdictional Determination Form to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is found in Attachment B. Representative photographs of the project area are also found in Attachment B. Page 2 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services November 17, 2009 Peterson Drive CIP - Request for JD and NWP #27 Prior to fieldwork, the following references were reviewed to identify possible waters of the U.S., including wetland areas: • U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quad Charlotte West, NC (1980) • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Mapper (http://wetlandsfws.er.usgs.gov/wtlnds/launch.htmi) • U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service of Mecklenburg County, NC, (1980) Sheets 6 and 7 of 13 • List of Hydric Soils of North Carolina, prepared by the USDA (1995) On-line Wetlands (SCS) Soil Survey • Mecklenburg County Property Ownership Land Records Information (POLARIS) System The USGS topographic quad does not depict any potential jurisdictional features within the project area. The NWI map does not depict any potential jurisdictional features within the project area. The USDA SCS soils map does not depict any potential jurisdictional features within the project area and depicts the following soil within the project area (Attachment B - Figure 3): • CuB - Cecil-Urban land complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes Cecil and Urban land soil types are classified as well-drained to moderately well-drained. The POLARIS map depicts a stream within the project area. Methods On September 2, 2009, STV/RWA Senior Environmental Specialist Brandon Phillips, C.H.M.M. and Environmental Scientist Anthony Nardo field reviewed the project area for potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S, including wetlands, and potential protected species habitat. Jurisdictional waters are defined by 33 CFR 328.3(b) and protected by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). The potential jurisdictional stream channel was classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) and USACE guidance. A stream assessment was conducted utilizing the USACE Wilmington District Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and the NCDWQ Stream Identification Form. The USACE and NCDWQ stream assessment forms are included in Attachment B. Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the project area are limited to the one stream channel (Stream A); reference Attachment B - Approximate Jurisdictional Boundary Field Map for the approximate location of this jurisdictional feature. No wetlands are located within the project area. The jurisdictional boundaries of the stream have not yet been field verified by the USACE Asheville Regulatory Field Office. A Request for Jurisdictional Determination is included as Attachment B. Stream A flows from the southeast to the northwest through the project area. The stream begins to the east of the project area and flows northwest off site under South Tryon Street, and eventually into Irwin Creek (Perennial RPW). Irwin Creek drains to Sugar Creek (Perennial RPW), which in turn, drains to the Catawba River, a traditionally navigable water (TNW). Page 3 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services November 17, 2009 Peterson Drive CIP - Request for JD and NWP #27 Stream A, an unnamed tributary of Irwin Creek, originates to the east of the project area as a perennial stream. Perennial Stream A exhibited weak to moderate flow, moderate sinuosity, and substrate consisting of clay, sand, silt, cobble, and rock. Stream channel widths were 5 to 7 feet and bank heights were 2 to 5 feet. Aquatic life, including fish, crayfish, and frogs, was not observed in the stream, and the macrobenthic aquatic life was limited to mosquito larvae. Representative photographs of the perennial Stream A are included in Attachment B - Photographs 1 through 5. More information on stream characteristics associated with Stream A can be found on the NCDWQ Stream Identification Forms and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheets included in Attachment B. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (Rapanos) Form is also included in Attachment B. Purpose and Need The purpose of the Peterson Drive CIP project is to alleviate flooding both upstream of the South Tryon Street road crossing and for properties located along South Tryon Street by realigning the existing stream to enter the existing culvert at a better angle. The Peterson Drive CIP project also proposes to reshape the cross section of Stream A from an incised/vertical bank channel to a channel with floodplain benches and gentler bank slopes to provide for more flood storage, and to alleviate stream bank erosion. Identified problems within the properties surrounding the project area and stream channel include the flooding of residential yards and crawl spaces, and the erosion of the stream bank. An evaluation completed by CSWS of the existing drainage within Stream A determined that the channel is incised, eroding, filled with debris, and lacks floodplain access (Attachment B - Photographs 2, 3 and 4). Impacts to Waters of the U.S. The project involves channel improvements designed to restore stability and enhance 362 linear feet of an existing degraded stream (RPW) located in a residential development in an urban setting. Enhancement activities will include improvements to the channel's alignment, profile, and cross-sectional dimensions to restore floodplain access, reduce erosion and sedimentation, and enhance the instream riparian habitat. Proposed project plans will result in temporary impacts to 362 linear feet of Stream A during the enhancement/construction activities, and permanent impacts to approximately 18 linear feet of Stream A, because the restored portion of Stream A will be approximately 344 linear feet in length. Avoidance and Minimization Due to the nature of the project, avoiding impacts to Stream A while achieving project goals is not possible. There is no practicable alternative that would achieve the project purpose of restoring the stability and enhancing the stream that would avoid or result in less impact to waters of the U.S. Best management practices (BMPs) will be used and appropriate erosion and sedimentation controls will be installed and maintained during construction activities to allow for the least adverse effect on the stream channel and associated water quality. Approximately 319 linear feet of the upstream perennial portion of Stream A, as well as all the upstream intermittent (seasonal RPW) portion of Stream A (324 linear feet) will be avoided. Sedimentation and erosion control plans have been prepared for pre-construction and final conditions of the project area. Sedimentation and erosion control devices were designed in accordance with appropriate City and State erosion and sediment control ordinances and will Page 4 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services November 17, 2009 Peterson Drive CIP - Request for JD and NWP #27 thereby equal or exceed the requirements specified in the latest version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The initial excavation and grading of the stream channel would be done in the dry using cofferdams and diversion ditches for the pump-around operation, with sedimentation and erosion control devices clear of any jurisdictional waters. Based on the erosion control plan sheet provided by USI (Attachment C - Sheet EC1), construction sequencing will be done in the following order: 1) Flag and fence clearing limits. 2) Mark trees to be protected. 3) Install temporary diversion ditch and rock check dams 4) Install erosion control silt fence 5) Install cofferdam and pump-around system 6) Construct proposed flood bench, channel bank toe protection and creek cross section, including structures, starting upstream and working downstream. 7) Disturb maximum of 100' or length of channel and flood bench that can be constructed and stabilized in one day, whichever is less. 8) Use temporary seed and mulch to stabilize. 9) Final stabilization with riparian seeding and live staking/matting. 10) Remove erosion control measures. Activities on the project site involving impacts to waters of the U.S. will be required to follow the General Conditions of the USACE Nationwide Permits (Federal Register Vol. 67, No. 10; updated March 19, 2007), applicable USACE Wilmington District Regional Conditions, and applicable NCDWQ consistency conditions (November 2007). Compensatory Mitigation As described above, efforts have been made to avoid and minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent practicable. The enhancement of the stream channel will permanently impact only 18 linear feet of stream channel (See Attachment C - Figure 4). Stream enhancement is a typically accepted method of providing compensatory mitigation and is the primary purpose of this project. Proposed channel improvements such as bank stabilization, flood bench construction, removal of debris from the existing channel and the native plantings that are proposed will reestablish the biological and chemical integrity of this reach of stream and result in an overall net increase in the stream's aquatic resource functions. Therefore, no additional compensatory mitigation requirements are anticipated. CSWS is not pursuing mitigation credit for this project. Stormwater Management Plan A Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) for the project will not be required due to the nature of the project. No impervious surfaces are proposed. According to Charlotte's Post-Construction Controls Ordinance (PCCO) as viewed on the Mecklenburg County POLARIS web site, Stream A has a 30-foot PCCO buffer within the project area. Additional development as a result of this project is not anticipated. Cultural Resources A review of historic and archaeological sites in the vicinity of the proposed Peterson Drive CIP project area was conducted. The National Register was consulted and indicated that there are no sites listed on the National Register within one mile of the project area. The Mecklenburg Page 5 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services November 17, 2009 Peterson Drive C/P - Request for JD and NWP #27 County POLARIS web site was reviewed and showed one historic cemetery site located 1.3 miles from the project area. Considering the limited impacts to waters of the U.S. as a result of this project, the likelihood of unidentified cultural resources being present in the proposed permit area is considered remote. Protected Species STV/RWA conducted a protected species habitat assessment and review of the project site on September 2, 2009. Prior to the field reviews, STV/RWA reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) databases, which provided existing data concerning the potential occurrence of federally and state protected (threatened or endangered) species in Mecklenburg County. These databases indicate that there are federal and state threatened or endangered species that may occur in Mecklenburg County. These protected species and their respective physical descriptions and habitat requirements are described below. Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) - Federal/State Endangered The Carolina heelsplitter has an ovate, trapezoid shaped shell. The outer surface of this species shell is yellowish, greenish, or brownish with greenish, blackish rays. The inner shell ranges from iridescent to mottled pale orange. The average size of the Carolina heelsplitter is 78 mm. The Carolina heelsplitter is found in small to large streams and rivers as well as ponds over a variety of substrates usually near stable, well-shaded stream banks. Most individuals are found in undercuts and along shaded banks stabilized with extensive tree roots, a buried log, or rocks. The Carolina heelsplitter requires waterways with well oxygenated clean water. This mollusk is listed as an historical occurrence in Mecklenburg County. Six populations of this mussel are presently known to exist, two of which occur within North Carolina. One small remnant population occurs in the Catawba River system in Waxhaw Creek in Union County, and another small population occurs in a short stretch of Goose Creek, a tributary to the Rocky River in the Pee Dee River system, also in Union County. Potential habitat does not exist within the perennial section of Stream A located within the project area. Potential habitat characteristics such as undercut shaded banks with extensive root systems and buried logs and rocks within the channel were not observed in the stream, and stream banks exhibited severe erosion. Existing water quality may also be a limiting factor in the occurrence of Carolina heelsplitter within the stream. The relative lack of water, extensive debris, eroding banks, general stagnant and apparent non-oxygenated conditions of the water make this habitat considerably less than optimal. Based on the field review, the less than optimal habitat present and the available databases, it is determined that this project will have `no effect' on the Carolina heelsplitter. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxu) - Federal/State Endangered Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from 1 to 3 feet in height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Most plants are unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both male and female flowers on one plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June to July; the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October. Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. This plant reportedly Page 6 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services November 17, 2009 Peterson Drive CIP - Request for JD and NWP #27 survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. This plant is restricted to seven counties in North Carolina, and is listed as historic in Mecklenburg County. No individuals of Michaux's sumac were observed within the project area. There are no records of Michaux's sumac being located in the Charlotte West USGS quadrangle. The NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) website was reviewed to determine the locations of the nearest populations of Michaux's sumac. The NCNHP determined that no current populations of Michaux's sumac were present within several miles of the project area. The project area lacks the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species, and there are no known populations within the proximity of the project area, so it is unlikely that Michaux's sumac would be found within the project area. Based on the field review, the lack of habitat present and the available databases, it is determined that this project will have `no effect' on Michaux's sumac. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzh) - Federal/State Endangered Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herbaceous plant limited to the Piedmont counties of North and South Carolina. The plant grows from one to two meters tall from a cluster of tuberous roots. The sunflower consists of a flower with a yellow disk and ray flowers formed on small heads. The disc is less than 1.5 cm across and the petals are 2 to 3 cm long. The lanceolate leaves are opposite on the lower stem and alternate near the flowers. The typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old pastures, transmission line right of ways (R/Ws), open areas, and edges of upland woods. Periodically maintained RA/Vs are typically considered good potential habitat for the Schweinitz's sunflower. Major characteristics of soils associated with suitable Schweinitz's sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils on upland interstream flats or gentle slopes, those which are clayey in texture (and often with substantial rock fragments), those which have a high shrink-swell capacity, and those which vary over the course of the year from very wet to very dry. Flowering occurs from August to the first frost of the year. No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower were observed within the project area. There are no records of Schweinitz's sunflower being located in the Charlotte West USGS quadrangle. The NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) website was reviewed to determine the locations of the nearest populations of Schweinitz's sunflower. The NCNHP determined that no populations of Schweinitz's sunflower were present within several miles of the project area. The project area lacks the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species, and there are no known populations within the proximity of the project area, so it is unlikely that that Schweinitz's sunflower would be found within the project area. Based on the field review, the lack of habitat present and the available databases, it is determined that this project will have `no effect' on Schweinitz's sunflower. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) - Federal/State Endangered The smooth coneflower grows up to 1.5 meters tall and contains large (approximately 20 cm in length and 7.5 cm in width) basal leaves. The stem of the plant is smooth with few leaves. The flower consists of rays that are light pink to purplish, usually drooping and are 5 to 8 cm long. This perennial plant generally occurs in basic to circumneutral soils of meadows and woodlands. The plant, which typically blooms in June, has been found growing in habitats that include upland oak-hickory or mixed oak-pine forests, old field habitat, transmission line R/Ws, and roadsides. Smooth coneflower is an associate of the Piedmont Prairie community type, Page 7 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services November 17, 2009 Peterson Drive CIP - Request for JD and NWP #27 often found growing with populations of Schweinitz's sunflower. This plant is listed as a current record for Mecklenburg County, and there is one documented population located approximately 12 miles northwest of Charlotte. No individuals of smooth coneflower were observed within the project area. There are no records of smooth coneflower being located in the Charlotte West USGS quadrangle. The NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) website was reviewed to determine the locations of the nearest populations of smooth coneflower. The NCNHP determined that no populations of smooth coneflower were present within one mile of the project area. The project area lacks the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species, so it is unlikely that smooth coneflower would be found within the project area. Based on the field review, the lack of habitat present and the available databases, it is determined that this project will have 'no effect' on smooth coneflower. Biological Conclusion: No Effect The list of protected species was reviewed, and evaluations were performed regarding the likelihood of the presence of each species in the project area. The project area largely consists of woodlands and lacks maintained R/Ws or other periodically maintained areas. Due to the habitat requirements for the three aforementioned protected plant species, the habitat available within the project area, and the findings of the field survey, it is determined that the proposed project will have no effect on any of the protected species listed for Mecklenburg County.

Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The CSWS Peterson Drive Capital Improvements Project (CIP) proposes to restore stability and enhance approximately 362 linear feet of a degraded, unnamed perennial stream (relatively permanent water or RPW) located in a residential neighborhood. The degraded stream is proposed to be enhanced by realigning the existing channel in an effort to alleviate flooding, stabilize ongoing bank erosion, provide grade controls, provide an improved entrance condition at the downstream culvert at South Tryon Street, reconnect a flood control bench to the bankfull channel, and remove existing blockages. Vegetative treatments will include live-staking and bare root plantings using native plant materials, as well as the use of a riparian seed mix. Typical construction equipment to be used will include track hoe and backhoe excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks. Page 3 of 11 PCN Form - Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 4.

Page 6 of 11 PCN Form - Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version D. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Due to the nature of the project, avoiding impacts to Stream A while achieving project goals is not possible. There is no practicable alternative that would achieve the project purpose of restoring the stability and enhancing the stream, as well as providing an adequately sized stream channel that would avoid or result in less adverse impact to waters of the U.S. Best management practices (BMPs) and appropriate erosion and sedimentation controls will be installed and maintained during construction activities to allow for the least adverse effect on the stream channel and associated water quality. Approximately 319 linear feet of the perennial portion of Stream A and all the intermittent portion of Stream A (324 linear feet) situated immediately upstream of the proposed channel improvements will be avoided. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Sedimentation and erosion control plans have been prepared for pre-construction and final conditions of the project area. Sedimentation and erosion control devices were designed in accordance with appropriate City and State erosion and sediment control ordinances and will thereby equal or exceed the requirements specified in the latest version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The initial excavation and grading of the stream channel would be done in the dry using cofferdams and diversion ditches for the pump-around operation, with sedimentation and erosion control devices clear of any jurisdictional waters. Based on the plan sheets provided by USI, construction sequencing will be done in the following order: 1) Flag and fence clearing limits. 2) Mark trees to be protected. 3) Install temporary diversion ditch and rock check dams 4) Install erosion control silt fence 5) Install cofferdam and pump-around system 6) Construct proposed flood bench, channel bank toe protection and creek cross section, including structures, starting upstream and working downstream. 7) Disturb maximum of 100' or length of channel and flood bench that can be constructed and stabilized in one day, whichever is less. 8) Use temporary seed and mulch to stabilize. 9) Final stabilization with riparian seeding and live staking/matting. 10) Remove erosion control measures. 2.

Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: Established by OHWM. Elevation of established OHWM (if known): 2. Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):' ? Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: 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 111: 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 II1.A.1 and Section III.D.I. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.I and 2 and Section III.D.I.; otherwise, see Section III.B 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 waterbodya 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. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: Pick List Drainage area: Pick List Average annual rainfall: inches Average annual snowfall: inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ? Tributary flows directly into TNW. ? Tributary flows through Pick List tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are Pick List river miles from TNW. Project waters are Pick List river miles from RPW. Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: Identify flow route to TNW': Tributary stream order, if known: ' Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and West. 5 Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW.

(iii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.). Explain: Identify specific pollutants, if known: 'A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily severjurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where 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.

For each wetland, specify the following: Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Directly abuts? (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 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: • 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 TNW? • 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: I. 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 III.D: 2.
