4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:"`
The project site is located in a rural farm and residential area along Railroad Grade Road on the South Fork of the New River. Sediment deposits in the center of the stream has directed
the thalwag to the bank. The bank is severely eroded due to the pressure of the water and the lack of vegetation.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?"
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
453 If of the South Fork of New River
u

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:'
To repair and stabilize eroding banks by reestablishing proper bank profiles through bank reshaping and with two (2) permanent in -stream structures. To improve habitat for aquatic fauna
and to improve the overall condition of the riparian areas at the site
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
Eroding banks will be reshaped to approximately 2:1, or flatter . Two (2) rock vanes will be constructed to divert the thalwag back to the center of the river. During construction a track hoe
will do the work from the bank, although the track hoe may have to access the stream to construct the end of the rock vanes. After construction the bank will be seeded with native grass
seed and sloped bank will be covered with erosion control matting and anchored with live stakes and landscape staples. Flat areas will be seeded and mulched with straw. All areas will be
planted with live stakes (Silky Willow, Salix Sericea) (Silky Dogwood, Corpus amomum) (Elderberry, Sambucus canadensis) along with native rhododendron mtn laurel and river birch.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes No

1. Avoidance and Minimization

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
This project will stabilize 4101f of eroding stream bank, reduce stream bank erosion, reduce in -stream sediment loads and improve in -stream aquatic
habitats. Stream aesthetics will be improved with the establishment of a well vegetated and functioning riparian zone
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
During construction, equipment will only access the stream when absolutely necessary. For this project, it is anticipated that most of the track hoe work
can be accomplished from the top of the bank. However, equipment may need access the stream during the construction when no other construction
alternative exists. Soil disturbance will be limited to what can seeded and stabilized in one day. Banks will seeded and coir matting will be placed and
anchored with wooden stakes. Flat areas will be seeded and covered with straw.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
