functioning as intended, they will be immediately replaced with better devices. The rock silt
screens and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to pipe culvert construction and
will remain in place until the project is stabilized.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Neddie Creek and Cub Branch are shown on the USGS topographic maps as perennial streams.
The streams appear to have sufficient flow to support fish. The unnamed tributaries appear to
lack sufficient flow to support fish. The channels are composed of bedrock, cobble, gravel and
sand. The channels lack vegetation. For these reasons, we believe these streams are under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In order to construct the project in accordance
with our current secondary road standards, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United
States in the Little Tennessee River BasiClasp WS IIII HQW),Orve metal culverts intunnamed ce

4. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary
impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam
construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib
walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed,
plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams
must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,60.
