According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County' (Figure 2. NRCS Soil Survey Map, attached),
on-site soils consist of Cecil sandy clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded (CeB2), Cecil sandy clay
loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes, eroded (CeD2), Iredell fine sandy loam, 1 to 8 percent slopes (IrB),
Iredell-Urban land complex, 0 to 8 percent slopes (IuB), Mecklenburg fine sandy loam, 2 to 8 percent
slopes (MeB), Mecklenburg fine sandy loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (MeD), Monacan loam (MO),
Wilkes loam, 4 to 8 percent slopes (WkB), Wilkes loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (WkD), and Wilkes-
Urban land complex, 8 to 15 percent slopes (WuD). Cecil, Mecklenburg, and Wilkes soils are well
drained. Iredell soils are moderately well drained. Monacan soils are somewhat poorly drained and
are listed in the North Carolina Hydric Soils List for Mecklenburg County as having hydric
inclusions2. Monacan soils are also listed as hydric soils (hydric criteria 2B3, 4) on the National
Hydric Soils Lists.
Jurisdictional Determination
On July 12, 2010, CWS's Thomas Blackwell and Sarah Singleton delineated on-site jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination
Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.4 A
Routine On-Site Data Form representative of non jurisdictional upland areas has been enclosed (DPI).
Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to recent USACE and North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)5 guidance. These classifications included sampling with a D-
shaped dip net, taking photographs, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which a channel
changes classification) within each on-site stream channel. NCDWQ Stream Classification Forms and
USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheets representative of Stream A are enclosed (SCP1 -
SCP2).
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel (Stream
A), and one jurisdictional open water area (Pond A), located within the project area (Figure 3, attached).
Stream A is an unnamed tributary to McMullen Creek. McMullen Creek is within the Catawba River
basin (HU# 03050103)6 and is classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ. On-Site jurisdictional
waters are summarized in Table 1., below.

Perennial Streams
Stream A flows south through the center of the project area for approximately 1,958 linear feet.
Stream A has been extensively piped. The lower 1,549 linear feet of Stream A was determined to be
perennial. Perennial Stream A exhibited a strong bed and bank, weak sinuosity, strong in-channel
structure, substrate consisting of coarse sand, gravel and cobbles, moderate flow, and an average
ordinary high water width of eight feet. Biological sampling revealed a weak presence of fish and
amphibians. Stream characteristics indicate that flow is present year round. Therefore, this portion of
Stream A was classified as a relatively permanent water (RPW) with perennial flow according to
USACE/EPA guidance. Perennial RPW Stream A scored 64 out of a possible 100 points on the
USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 32.5 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). Photographs A and B (enclosed) are representative of
Perennial RPW Stream A
Intermittent Streams
The upper 409 linear feet of Stream A was determined to be intermittent. Intermittent Stream A
exhibited a strong bed and bank, weak sinuosity, moderate in-channel structure, substrate consisting of
coarse sand and fine gravel, and an average ordinary high water width of six feet. Stream
characteristics indicate that continuous flow is present for at least three months in an average year.
Therefore, this portion of Stream A was classified as a relatively permanent water with seasonal flow
(Seasonal RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance. Seasonal RPW Stream A scored 43 out of a
possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 26.5 out of a possible
63 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (SCP1, enclosed). Photographs C and D

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on July 8, 2010 to determine
the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be
affected by the project. In a response letter dated July 28, 2010 (attached), the SHPO stated that they
"are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project." CWS consulted the
Charlotte Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission database and found no listed properties
within the project area.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on July 8, 2010 to
determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical
habitat located within the project area. In a response letter date July 15, 2010 (attached), the NCNHP
stated that "The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural
communities, significant natural heritage areas, or conservation/managed areas at the site nor within a
mile of the project area."
In addition, the NCNHP Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database Virtual Workroom and
Element Occurrence (EO) database was reviewed for a listing of EOs of endangered or threatened
species within or near the project area. The EO database identified no endangered or threatened species
within a two-mile radius of the project area.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Flooding and erosion problems within the project area have been reported by neighborhood residents
and are documented in formal responses to City questionnaires and service requests. The channel
upstream of Bar Harbor lane is severely eroded. The banks on the northwest side are encroaching on
the property owners decorative iron fence and tree roots are continuing to be exposed (potential loss of
trees into the channel). The channel bottom continues to erode and several locations of bedrock have
appeared. Photographs C and D (enclosed) illustrate the existing condition of this channel. There is
also a section of bank instability at 8443 Eagle Glen Way. The stream bank is eroding at this point
and is threatening trees and the air-conditioning units for the residence at that site. Photograph F
shows the erosion at this location.
The purpose of this project is to reduce flooding, dissipate high velocity storm flows at outfalls, and
reduce storm-induced erosion downstream of culverts. In addition, the project will enhance the stream
channel upstream of Bar Harbor Lane and at 8443 Eagle Glen Way.
This overall project will involve the replacement of existing culverts, replacement of existing rip rap
aprons, and stream enhancement. Stream A upstream of Bar Harbor Lane will be enhanced with the
use of vegetated geogrids on the banks to provide improved bank stability (Plan Sheet 14A, attached).
This will result in reducing the sediment input to the stream. Vertical stability will be provided
through the use of cross-vanes. Vegetated geogrids are proposed due to the limited space available.
Laying back the channel banks and providing benching is not possible due to the encroachment on
structures and fences, and the loss of tree canopy over the stream which would result.
Rip rap aprons will be installed at culvert outlets (Plan Sheets 4, 4A, 9, and 14A, attached). Where
possible these aprons will be limited to the stream banks.

Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream
waters. All work will be constructed in the dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 3687.
Impacts to the bed of existing channels have been avoided wherever possible, and there will be no loss of
jurisdictional waters. Furthermore, the project includes 250 linear feet of stream enhancement. This
enhancement work will stabilize currently eroding stream channel and will result in a reduction in
sediment input to the stream and a net improvement in stream quality.
A new bypass pipe will be installed between Bar Harbor Lane and Shillington Place (Plan Sheets 13 &
14, attached) to eliminate flooding at this location. This pipe will carry flow from Intermittent Stream
A (upstream of Bar Harbor Lane) and will tie into the existing Shillington Place culvert. The existing
pipes and open stream channel between Shillington Place and Bar Harbor Lane will remain in-situ. No
fill or piping of Perennial Stream A will occur and there will therefore be no impact to Jurisdictional
Waters of the U.S.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. total 350 linear, feet of stream impacts. These
impacts include 100 linear feet of permanent impacts and 250 linear feet of temporary impacts (Figure 4,
attached). Please note plan sheets submitted are Y2 size sheets with an approximate scale of 1" : 40'.
Impacts under Nationwide Permit No. 3
Permanent impacts to Perennial RPW Stream A total 64 linear feet, and are the result of rip rap
installation at the downstream end of culverts. This rip rap is designed to protect the stream banks from
erosion and to dissipate the energy of water exiting culverts. There will be 40 linear feet of rip rap
installed on the stream banks downstream of the Eagle Glen Way culvert. No rip rap will be placed in the
stream bed at this point (Plan Sheet 4, Sta. 13+06 to 13+46, attached). There will be 41 linear feet of rip
rap installed on the stream banks downstream of the Gleneagles Road culvert, there is already 32 linear
feet of serviceable rip rap apron at this location(Photograph B, enclosed), resulting in a net impact of 9
linear feet. No additional rip rap will be placed in the stream bed at this point (Plan Sheet 4A, Sta. 10+63
to 11+04, attached). Finally, there will be a 45 linear foot rip rap apron installed downstream of the
Shillington Place culvert (Plan Sheet 9, Sta. 10+76 to 11+21, attached). This rip rap apron will replace
an existing 30 linear foot apron (Photograph A, enclosed), and will result in a net impact of 15 linear feet
of stream bed.
Permanent impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream A total 36 linear feet, and are the result of rip rap
installation. There will be 20 linear feet of rip rap installed on the stream banks upstream of the Bar
Harbor Lane culvert. No rip rap will be placed in the stream bed at this point (Plan Sheet 14 and 14A,
Sta. 9+96 to 10+16, attached). There will be a 16 linear feet of rip rap apron installed at the outlet of an
existing 48" pipe which enters the stream at station 12+50 (Plan Sheet 14A, attached). Finally, there will
be a 27 linear foot rip rap apron installed below the culvert at the upstream end of the reach (Plan Sheet
14A, Sta. 13+72 to 13+99, attached). This rip rap apron will replace an existing 31 linear foot apron
(Photograph C, enclosed), and will result in no net impact to jurisdictional waters.

Nationwide Permit No. 3 and 27 Proiect No. 2010-2718
Impacts under Nationwide Permit No. 27
Temporary impacts to Perennial RPW Stream A under NWP No. 27 A total 36 linear feet and are the
result of stream enhancement. This enhancement work will include the installation of a rock vane and
rock toe protection (Plan Sheet 4, Sta. 11+60 to 11+96, attached). The stream bank will be laid back,
matted and planted with native vegetation. This will result in improved stream stability and reduced
sediment input. A detail of the proposed enhancement is included (Plan Sheet 3, attached).
Temporary impacts to Intermittent RPW Stream A under NWP No. 27 A total 214 linear feet and are the
result of stream enhancement. This enhancement work will include the installation of three rock cross-
vanes to provide grade control for the channel (Plan Sheet 14A, Sta. 11+58 to 13+72, attached).
Unstable and eroding stream banks will be stabilized through the use of vegetated geogrids on both sides
of the channel. These geogrids are constructed of Bio D Blocks, which are coconut fiber blocks with
matting on the uphill and downhill sides. This product allows for the stabilization of stream banks with
limited impacts to the adjacent riparian forest community. This will result in a net improvement in stream
quality and stability. Details of cross vanes and vegetated geogrids are included on Plan Sheet 3
(attached)
Unavoidable impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters are summarized in Table 2., below.

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The current land use for the project area is single family residential properties, with maintained lawns and small adjacent
wooded areas. Dominant vegetation within the project area consists of willow oak (Quercus phellos), water oak (Quercus
nigra), box elder (Acer negundo), common blackberry (Rubus argutus), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), English ivy
(Hedera helix), and fescue (Festuca sp.)
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0 acre
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
1,958 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Flooding and erosion problems within the project area have been reported by neighborhood residents and are documented in
formal responses to City questionnaires and service requests. The channel upstream of Bar Harbor lane is severely
eroded. The banks on the northwest side are encroaching on the property owners decorative iron fence and tree roots are
continuing to be exposed (potential loss of trees into the channel). The channel bottom continues to erode and several
locations of bedrock have appeared. Photographs C and D (enclosed) illustrate the existing condition of this channel.
There is also a section of bank instability at 8443 Eagle Glen Way. The stream bank is eroding at this point and is
threatening trees and the air-conditioning units for the residence at that site. Photograph F shows the erosion at this
location.
The purpose of this project is to reduce flooding, dissipate high velocity storm flows at outfalls, and reduce storm-induced
erosion downstream of culverts. In addition, the project will enhance the stream channel upstream of Bar Harbor Lane
and at 8443 Eagle Glen Way.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
This overall project will involve the replacement of existing culverts, replacement of existing rip rap aprons, and stream
enhancement. Stream A upstream of Bar Harbor Lane will be enhanced with the use of vegetated geogrids on the banks
to provide improved bank stability (Plan Sheet 14A, attached). This will result in reducing the sediment input to the
stream. Vertical stability will be provided through the use of cross-vanes. Vegetated geogrids are proposed due to the
limited space available. Laying back the channel banks and providing benching is not possible due to the encroachment

Rip rap aprons will be installed at culvert outlets (Plan Sheets 4, Sta. 13+06 to 13+46; 4A, Sta. 10+63 to 11+04; 9, Sta.
10+76 to 11+21; and 14A, Sta. 9+96 to 10+16, 12+50, and 13+72 to 13+99, attached). Where possible these aprons will
be limited to the stream banks. A new bypass pipe will be installed between Bar Harbor Lane and Shillington Place (Plan
Sheet 14, attached) to eliminate flooding at this location. This pipe will carry flow the flow from Intermittent Stream A
(upstream of Bar Harbor Lane) and will tie into the existing Shillington Place culvert. The existing pipes and open stream
channel between Shillington Place and Bar Harbor Lane will remain in-situ. No fill or piping of Perennial Stream A will
occur and there will therefore be no impact to Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.

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.
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment
and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. All work will be constructed
in the dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 3687.
Impacts to the bed of existing channels have been avoided wherever possible, and there will be no loss of jurisdictional
waters. Furthermore, the project includes 250 linear feet of stream enhancement. This enhancement work will stabilize
currently eroding stream channel and will result in a reduction in sediment input to the stream and a net improvement in
stream quality.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Proper

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.

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.

Dear Ms. Singleton:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, significant
natural heritage areas, or conservation/inanaged areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area.
Although our maps do not show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not
necessarily mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The
use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the
project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural
areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of
rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the quad map. Our
Program also has a new website that allows users to obtain information on element occurrences and
significant natural heritage areas within two miles of a given location:
<http://nhpweb.enr.state.nc.us/nhis/public/gmap75_main.phtml>. The user name is "public" and the
password is "heritage". You may want to click "Help" for more information.
NC OneMap now provides digital Natural Heritage data online for free. This service provides site
specific information on GIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species. occurrences and
Significant Natural Heritage Areas. The NC OneMap website provides Element Occurrence (EO) ID
numbers (instead of species name), and the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage
Program for detailed information. This service allows the user to quickly and efficiently get site specific
NHP data without visiting the NHP workroom or waiting for the Information Request to be answered by
NHP staff. For more information about data formats and access, visit <www.nconemap.conl>, then click
on "FTP Data Download", and then "nheo.zip" [to the right of "Natural Heritage Element Occurrences"]
You may also e-mail NC OneMap at <datagC&ncmail.net> for more information.

2. Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3
? 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.
z 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).
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
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.
1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW

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.

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?

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section IILB below.

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 waterbody4 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.

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.

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
