3 Pro�ect Description
3a Descnbe the existmg conditions on the site and the general land use in the viarnty of the pro�ect at the time of this
application
The existmg stream is highly eroded with vertical banks The entire length of the reach has been histoncally stra+ghtened
There is minimal m stream habitat diversity present due to large amounts of sediment impairmg the entire reach Several
large debris�ams are also causing severe instabdity and high bank erosion The watershed consists of predominantly
residential developments and undeveloped forested land Roughly 25% of the watershed is occupied by impervious
streets open land/agricultural land and open waters See Attachment B Restoration Plan
3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
-3 8ac
3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams(mtermittent and perenrnal)on the property
Restoration includes approximately 11 320 LF of a perenrnal RPW
3d Explam the purpose of the proposed pro�ect
Restoration of Torrence Creek Tributary#1
3e Describe the overall pro�ect in detail mcludmg the type of equipment to be used
Torrence Creek Tributary#1 wdl be restored based reference streams regime equations and regional curve information
A floodprone area and inner berm benches wdl be added to the stream to create an area where the energy and velocity
associated with high flows can be dissipated which will improve the stabdity of the channel The floodprone area wdl also
serve as a sediment sink to help remove the suspended sediments from the stream channel and allow them to deposit on
the floodprone bench area In stream habitat and bedform diversity wdl be improved through the addition of a riffle pool
sequence and in stream structures Woody structures such as log vanes and log toe protection will be used to further
enhance m stream habitat Rock structures such as Rock Vanes and Constructed Riffles wdl be added to mamtam grade
improve local slopes(riffles) improve bedform diversity(riffles/pools) improve habitat and protect stream banks The
stream banks will be graded to a stable slope 3 1 to 4 1 and planted with native herbaceous and woody plantmgs The
ad�acent riparian buffer wdl be treated for invasive species such as Chinese Privett and Kudzu through mechanical
removal herbicides and manual removal The buffer wdl also be replanted where stream restoration activities occur
Impacts to the existing buffer wdl be mirnmized by ad�usting the limits of grading and/or flagging trees to be saved m the
field Every effort wdl be taken to mirnmize the impact to the large(>8 )woody vegetation The stream bed elevation wdl
be raised where possible to reconnect the stream to its historic floodplam and to enhance ad�acent wetland hydrology
Overall the pro�ect seeks to reduce sediment input from bank erosion enhance the terrestrial and aquatic habitat and
protect the pro�ect site through conservation easements or simdar means
Track hoes and other earth mowng equipment is anticipated to be used on this pro�ect

C SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERM[NATION
A s�gmficant nexus analys�s will assess the flow charactenshcs and funct�ons of the tr�butary�tself and the funchons performed
by any wetlands ad�acent to the tnbutary to determme�f they s�gmficantly affect the chem�cal phys�cal and b�olog�cal�ntegr�ty
of a TNW For each of the follow�ng s�tuat�ons a s�gmficant nexus ex�sts�f the tr�butary �n combinahon w�th all of�ts ad�acent
wetlands,has more than a speculahve or msubstanhal effect on the chem�cal phys�cal and/or b�olog�cal�ntegnty of a TNW
Considerahons when evaluahng s�gmficant nexus mclude but are not hm�ted to the volume duraaon and frequency of the flow
of water m the tnbutary and�ts prox�m�ty to a TNW and the funchons performed by the tnbutary and all�ts ad�acent
wetlands It�s not appropnate to determme s�gmficant nexus based solely on any spec��c threshold of d�stance(e g between a
tr�butary and�ts ad,acent wetland or between a tnbutary and the TNVV) S�milarly the fact an ad�acent wetland hes w�th�n or
outs�de of a floodpla�n�s not solely determ�nahve of s�gtuficant nexus
Draw connect�ons between the features documented aod the effects on the TNW as�denhfied m the Rapanos Gu�dance and
d�scussed m the Instruchonal Gu�debook.Factors to cons�der�nclude for exampie
Does the tnbutary m combtnation w�th its ad�acent wetlands(tf any) have the capac�ty to carry pollutants or flood waters to
T'NWs or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reachmg a TNW�
• Does the tnbutary m comb�nat�on�rnth�ts ad�acent wetlands(�f any) provide habitat and l�fecycle support funct�ons for fish and
other spec�es such as feeding nestmg spawnmg or reanng young for species that are present m the TNW�
Does the tnbutary m combmation with its ad�acent wetlands(�f any) have the capac�ty to transfer nutnents and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs�
Does the tnbutary m combmation with its ad�acent wetlands(if any) have other relationsh�ps to the physical chem�cal or
b�ological integnty of the TNW�
Note the above I�st of cons�derahons�s not�nclusive and other funct�ons observed or known to occur should be documented
