threatened and endangered species The project was reviewed by the SHPO (Reference No ER08 -0325) and there will be no impacts to historic or archaeological resources The road is being widened within previously disturbed right 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 tributaries of Graham Creek at Sites 1, 3, 5 and 6 are shown on the North Carolina Floodplam 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 floodplain 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 tributaries 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 jurisdiction 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

TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies wdl assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section IMA.1 and Section IRD 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 (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), Le 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 I]LD I If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section IMD 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 IMB 1 for the tributary, Section II1.112 for any onsite wetlands, and Section IMB 3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IRC below 1 Characteristics of non -TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions Watershed size Pick List Drainage area rpick List Average annual ram-fah inches Average annual snowfall inches (n) Physical Characteristics (a) Relationship with TNW ❑ Tributary flows directly into TNW ❑ Tributary flows through Pick List tributaries before entering TNW Project waters are Pick List river miles from TNW Project waters are Pick List river miles from RPW Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from TNW Project waters are Pick List aerial (straight) miles from RPW Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries Explain Identify flow route to TNW5 Tributary stream order, if known Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes and erosional features generally and in the and West ` Flow route can be described by identifying e g, tributary a, wiuch flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b which then flows into TNW (b) General Tributary Charactenstics (check all that apply) Tributary is ❑ Natural ❑ Artificial (man -made) Explain ❑ Marupulated (man- altered) Explain Tributary properties with respect to top of bank (estunate) Average width feet Average depth feet Average side slopes Pick List Pnmary tributary substrate composition (check all that apply) ❑ Silts ❑ Sands ❑ Concrete ❑ Cobbles ❑ Gravel ❑ Muck ❑ Bedrock ❑ Vegetation Type/% cover ❑ Other Explain Tributary condition/stability [e g, highly eroding, sloughing banks] Explain Presence of run/nffle/pool complexes \ Explain Tnbutary geometry Pick Liii Tnbutary gradient (approximate average slope) % (c) Flow Tnbutary provides for Pick List Estimate average number of flow events in review area/year Pick List Descnbe flow regime Other information on duration and volume Surface flow is Pick Lisle Characteristics Subsurface flow Pick List Explain findings ❑ Dye (or oilier) test performed Tnbutary has (check all that apply) ❑ Bed and banks ❑ OHWMf (check all indicators that apply) ❑ clear, natural line impressed on the bank ❑ the presence of litter and debris ❑ changes in the character of soil ❑ destruction of terrestnal vegetation ❑ shelving ❑ the presence of wrack line ❑ vegetation matted down, bent, or absent ❑ sediment sorting ❑ leaf titter disturbed or washed away ❑ scour ❑ sediment deposition ❑ multiple observed or predicted flow events ❑ water staining ❑ abrupt change in plant community ❑ other (list) ❑ Discontinuous OHWM 7 Explain If factors other than the OHWM were used to determine lateral extent of CWA jurisdiction (check all that apply) ❑ High Tide Line indicated by ❑ Mean High Water Mark indicated by ❑ oil or scum line along shore objects ❑ survey to available datum, ❑ fine shell or debris deposits (foreshore) ❑ physical markings, ❑ physical markmgs/charactenstics ❑ vegetation hnes/changes in vegetation types ❑ tidal gauges ❑ other (list) (m) Chemical Characteristics Characterize tributary (e g , water color is clear discolored, oily film, water quality, general watershed characteristics, etc ) Explain Identify specific pollutants, if known 6A 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.

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 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 integrity of the TNW?
