SR 1344—Cashiers Valley Road
Transylvania County
State Project No 14C 088054 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee$240 00)
Dear Ms Beckwith
The North Carolma Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen SR 1344
Cashiers Valley Road in Transylvania County Each lane will be widened by one foot curb and
gutter will be installed on select road sections and the road will be resurfaced The project will
require the replacement and/or extension of eleven metal culverts Cashiers Valley Road is a paved
secondary road which conveys local traffic NCDOT is requesting a permit for the culvert
replacements and/or extensions for this project
I am enclosing a PCN application EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter a typical section of the road
permit drawings photographs a marked county map and USGS quad map
The U S Fish and Wildlife Service list 46 species with federal status for Transylvania County that are
known from current records or were known to occur in the county historically One species the bog
turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergzz) is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance with the listed
northern bog turtle Seven species Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonta ravenelzana) swamp pink
(Helonzas bullata) small whorled pogonia(Isotrza medeolozdes) spreading avens (Geum radzatum)
Virginia spiraea(Spiraea vzrgznzana) rock gnome lichen(Gymnoderma hneare) and Carolina
northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrznus coloratus) are listed as federally threatened or
endangered
There are no records for the listed species within one mile of the project This project will occur
within a disturbed road footpnnt or the edge of disturbed residential property and consist of
widening the road one foot on each side except one short section that is being realigned along
residential yards Habitat along the proposed project has been affected by pnvate residences The
streams to be affected are unnamed tnbutanes to Nicholson Creek (DWQ Class C Tr) Graham
Creek(DWQ Class B Tr) and Brackens Creek (DWQ Class C) the streams are small (2-4 feet in

width) along Cashiers Valley Road The impacts from these culvert replacements will be minimal
and should have no effect on threatened and endangered species
The project was reviewed by the SHPO (Reference No ER08 0325) and there will be no impacts to
histonc or archaeological resources The road is being widened within previously disturbed nght of
way and/or adjacent disturbed residential property
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and erosion on
this project Water will be pumped around the work area to minimize erosion and sedimentation
from the pipe trench The construction foreman will review all sedimentation control measures
during installation to ensure sedimentation is controlled effectively If the planned devices are not
functioning as intended they will be replaced immediately with better devices The sedimentation
control devices will be in place prior to pipe culvert removal and remain in place until the new pipe is
installed
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Graham Creek(DWQ Class B Tr)is shown on the USGS topographic map as a perennial stream
The unnamed tnbutanes of Graham Creek at Sites 1 3 5 and 6 are shown on the North Carolina
Floodplain Mapping System, but Sites 2 and 7 are not shown on the floodplam maps Brackens
Creek(DWQ Class C) is shown on the USGS map as a perennial stream and the unnamed tributary
of Brackens Creek at Site 9 is shown on the floodplam map Nicholson Creek (DWQ Class C Tr) is
shown on the USGS map as a perennial stream The unnamed tributary of Nicholson Creek at site
11 is not shown on either the USGS map or floodplam map All the streams have well defined
channels with substrates of gravel sand and silt The stream channels range in width form 1-4 feet
The unnamed tnbutanes at Sites 1 to 3 flow approximately 0 2 miles to Graham Creek The other
unnamed tributaries flow to their respective named streams within a few hundred feet of the road
Graham Creek at Site 4 flows approximately 0 8 miles to the confluence with Bracken Creek, which
is 0 2 miles downstream of the road crossing at Site 8 Graham Creek then flows 0 4 miles to the
confluence with Nicholson Creek Nicholson Creek flows approximately 2 0 miles to the French
Broad River The French Broad River meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water For
these reasons we believe these streams meet the definition of Relative Permanent Water and are
under the junsdiction of the U S Army Corps of Engineers In order to replace these culverts it will
be necessary to impact waters of the United States in the French Broad River Basin Specifically
NCDOT is requesting to replace and/or extend eleven metal culverts Listed below is a summary of

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 IILA.1 and Section IILD 1 only if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW complete Sections IILA.1 and 2
and Section IILD 1 otherwise see Section IILB 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 OF ANY)
This section summarizes information regarding charactenstics 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 tnbutanes of TNWs where the tnbutanes 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 junsdictional If the aquatic resource is not a TNW but has year round
(perennial)flow skip to Section IILD 2 If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perenmal flow
skip to Section IILD 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 m 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 sigmficant 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 tnbutary 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 IILB 1 for
the tributary Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands and Section IILB 3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary both onsite
and offsite The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IILC below

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 mtegnty
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 tnbutary and its proximity to a TNW and the functions performed by the tnbutary and all its adjacent
wetlands It is not appropriate to determine sigmficant 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 hes within or
outside of a floodplam 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 m 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 m combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) provide habitat and hfecycle 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 mtegnty of the TNW?
Note the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below
