IRONMENTAL November 24, 2010 US Army Corps of Engineers NC Division of Water Quality Attn: Mr. Tyler Crumbley Attn: Mr. Ian McMillan 151 Patton Ave, Room 208 2321 Crabtree Blvd, Suite 250 Asheville, North Carolina 28801-5006 Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Re: Lot B-80, Lake Toxaway Estates - PCN Request Rosman, Transylvania County, North Carolina Tyler/Ian: The attached Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) is being submitted on behalf of Mr. Jay Felts to allow for construction of a residence, yard, two pathways, seawall, and boathouse on his property in Transylvania County, North Carolina on West Club Boulevard. Mr. Felts is seeking a nationwide permit 18 authorization for the proposed actions. A 404 and 401 were obtained for this project in November 2007 for 0.06 acre of wetland impact but the impacts were not constructed and the request for impacts has been revised. Copies of these expired previous approvals are enclosed. Impacts now total 0.07 acre of wetland impacts due to the addition of a boathouse that was not permitted originally. Three bridges will be constructed to avoid stream impacts. The impacts have not been installed due to some unforeseen health issues within Mr. Felt's extended family. Mr. Felts is now ready to proceed especially since Lake Toxaway will be drawdown which will allow the wetland impacts at site #2, the seawall, and the boathouse to be constructed in the dry. To avoid the existing trout buffer and steep topography along the southwest property boundary wetland impacts at site #1 are necessary to develop a large enough building envelope for the residence. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the attached PCN.

Impoundments of jurisdictional waters ? Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area: Non-wetland waters: +/- 500 linear feet: 8-12 width (ft) and/or 0.14 acres. Wetlands: 0.09 acres. c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: 1987 Delineation Manual Elevation of established OHWM (if known): 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). ' 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 2 and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section IH.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 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. 1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: + 1000acres Drainage area: +/-250 Pick List Average annual rainfall: 80 inches Average annual snowfall: 6 inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ? Tributary flows directly into TNW. ® Tributary flows through 3 tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are 30 (or more) river miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) river miles from RPW. Project waters are 30 (or mare) aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are 1(or less) aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: yes, the Toxaway River flows across into South Carolina. Identify flow route to TNW5: UT to Toxaway River to South Carolina. Tributary stream order, if known: second. ° Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and West. s 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. (b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that apply): Tributary is: ® Natural ? Artificial (man-made). Explain: ? Manipulated (man-altered). Explain: Tributary properties with respect to top of bank (estimate): Average width: 12 feet Average depth: 1 feet Average side slopes: 4:1 (or greater).

Explain: water is clear. Identify specific pollutants, if known: none. 'A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (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) Y 0.08 Y 0.01 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: 1. 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. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section I11.13: 3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section I1I.D: D.
