Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.
Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The purpose of the project is ecosystem restoration. The Corps designed the project to achieve net benefits to the aquatic environment including in-
stream fish habitat, riparian corridor establishment, wetland establishment and bottomland hardwood forest establishment. Traditional slope
stabilization measures such as stone slope protection to the top of the bank was avoided. Stone placement has been minimized to that which is
necessary only at the toe of the slope based upon existing geometries and constraints.

Supplemental Information for Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) Form
A. Applicant Information
1. Processing
Ia. Since the Corps of Engineers (Corps) is performing the work, the Corps does not
permit ourselves. Therefore, there will not be a permit letter or Nationwide (NWP)
verification from the Corps. However, the Corps' Environmental Analysis Branch
reviews all the federal and state conditions to assure compliance with all terms and
conditions of the Nationwide permit which is, in this case, a NWP 27. The terms and
conditions of the Nationwide permit will be attached to the plans and specifications for
this project.
1 c. Please see 1 a above.
3. Owner Information
Please note the project is an Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration project and is being
performed by the Corps under the authority of Section 206 of the Water Resources
Development Act (WRDA) of 1996. The local sponsor of this project is the Town of
Boone in coordination with Appalachian State University and the National Committee for
the New River. The work is occurring on land owned by the Appalachian State
University. A perpetual environmental covenant will be held by the Town of Boone,
North Carolina, for all the areas improved under this project. See drawing CS401 which
estimates the location of this perpetual environmental restoration easement.
B. Project Information and Prior Project History
3. Project Description
3a. Existing Conditions - The Final Environmental Assessment (EA) that was completed
for this project provides a detailed description of the site. Within the project area, the South
Fork of the New River is experiencing erosion along the stream banks. Some of the banks
within this reach have nearly vertical stream banks. Surrounding land use at this location
includes the intramural fields for Appalachian State University and the Greenway Trail. The
majority of the riparian corridor is very narrow to absent (with the exception of the
downstream portion of the left descending bank). Areas that are not currently being mowed
are dominated by Phalaris arundinacea (reed canary grass).
3e. Overall project in detail, including construction equipment — The overall goal of the
project is to restore ecosystem functions that are currently lost or degraded on approximately
3,640 linear feet of the South Fork of the New River. Through the Corps' planning and
feasibility phase, the Corps developed specific goals in coordination with state and federal

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Watauga Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project
agencies, the public, Appalachian State University, the Town of Boone, and The National
Committee for the New River. As a result, specific objectives identified for this project are
summarized below:
- Establish and diversify the riparian and bottomland habitats adjacent to the stream
corridor
- Establish emergent wetland areas
-Focus public access points to defined areas to limit impacts to the stream bank and
riparian areas
- Reduce erosion of the river banks
- Minimize maintenance and maximize self- sustainability of the system
-Meet the goals of the American Heritage Rivers Initiative of natural resource and
environmental protection, economic revitalization and historic and cultural preservation
- Provide improved community access to recreational opportunities associated with the
South Fork of the New River
The aquatic ecosystem project has been designed to stabilize and reduce erosion, improve
aquatic habitat, establish riparian and bottomland areas, establish two wetland areas, provide
limited stream access to the River, and preserve these areas in perpetuity.
Stream stability and stream habitat enhancement would be accomplished by using bio-
engineering techniques such as brush layering, placing wattles within the stream bank, planting
live stakes, creating riffles, placement of logs and willow live logs, excavating or sloping the
stream banks to create stable slopes, stone placement along the toe of the slope (longitudinal
dike), and boulder placement within the channel. See Sheet CS 101 and CS301 for typical
treatment methods for the River. There are seven different treatment types planned within the
reach of the River. Please note minor adjustments are anticipated during construction to assure
proper placement of materials and treatments. Riparian corridors and bottomland hardwood
forests will also be established outside of waters.
In treatment areas where stone and toe stone are prescribed in conjunction with bio- engineering
techniques stone is necessary for the following reasons:
Geometry and on -site constraints
Hydrologic forces acting on the riverbanks
Conditions of the stream and extensive erosion (no bedrock)
Creates habitat (hiding areas) for fish
Lowers risk of future channel migration and resulting erosion
Provides a foundation for biotechnical slope stabilization methods
Note — Relative to the type of equipment used during construction, the federal government has a
performance based construction contract and the federal government may not dictate the type of
2

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Watauga Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project
equipment to be used. However, based upon past experience on similar projects, below is a
description of the most likely method of construction.
Wherever possible, stone and logs will be placed from the top of the bank to minimize in- stream
disturbance.
- Treatment 1 involves sloping the stream bank back to a 1 on 1 slope by excavating the bank
with a large excavator. Live logs will be placed at the toe of the slope with a large excavator and
will be backfilled with soil and compacted in a manner to reduce erosion. A smaller excavator
may be in- stream for stone and log placement and to assist with excavation. After securing the
logs the slope will be protected by using bioengineering. Layers of live brush will be placed
along the bank and covered with a biodegradable erosion control matting (burlap) and soil.
Brush layering will be installed on the bank and compacted using a bulldozer. Live stakes will
be placed on the slope. Top soil will be placed at the top of the bank and native vegetation will
be planted. Excess soil will be taken to one of the designated upland spoil areas.
- Treatment 2 involves sloping the stream bank back to a 1 on 1.7 slope by excavating the bank
with a large excavator. Live logs will be placed at the toe of the slope with a large excavator in a
manner to reduce erosion. The logs would then be backfilled with soil and compacted. Straw
matting will be placed on the slope. Wattles and live stakes will be placed on the slope and
native vegetation will be planted. Top soil will be temporarily stockpiled at the top of the bank
to be used as needed; any excess soil will be taken to one of the designated upland spoil areas.
- Treatment 3 involves sloping the stream bank back to a 1 on 1.3 or 1 on 1.7 slope by excavating
the bank with a large excavator. 24" stone will be placed at the toe of the riverbank. Stone will
be placed in a manner to reduce erosion. Toe stone is necessary along these treatment areas to
stabilize the stream bank. Toe stone is necessary due to the geometry of the stream bank and on-
site constraints. Live logs will be placed behind the toe stone and will be backfilled with soil and
compacted. A smaller excavator may be in- stream for stone and log placement and to assist
with excavation. After securing the logs, the slope will be protected by using bioengineering
techniques. Wattles and live stakes will be placed on the slope and native vegetation will be
planted. Top soil will be temporarily stockpiled at the top of the bank to be used as needed; any
excess soil will be taken to one of the designated upland spoil areas.
- Treatment 4 involves sloping the stream bank back by excavating the bank with a large
excavator. 24" stone will be placed at the toe of the riverbank with a large excavator leaving
openings for fish habitat. Toe stone is necessary along these treatment areas to stabilize the
stream bank. Toe stone is necessary due to the geometry of the stream bank and on -site
constraints. The stone will be placed to the final grade. Live logs will be placed behind the toe
stone and will be backfilled with soil and compacted. A smaller excavator may be in- stream for
stone and log placement and to assist with excavation. After securing the logs the slope will be
protected using bioengineering techniques. Layers of live brush will be placed along the bank
and covered with a biodegradable erosion control matting (burlap) and soil. Brush layering will
be placed on the bank and compacted using a bulldozer. Live stakes will be placed on the slope
and native vegetation will be planted. Top soil will be temporarily stockpiled at the top of the
bank to be used as needed any excess soil will be taken to one of the designated upland spoil
areas. Native grasses will be seeded in order to reduce soil erosion along the graded slope.

- Treatment 5 involves sloping the stream bank back by excavating the bank with a large
excavator. 24" stone will be placed at the toe of the riverbank with a large excavator. Stone
slope protection is necessary with these treatment areas and involves placing stones at the toe of
the slope in the shape of a longitudinal dike that would be approximately three feet high with a
crest width of two feet. Longitudinal dikes are commonly called toe rock, stone toe or peak -
stone dikes. Stone is necessary due to the geometry of the stream bank and on -site constraints.
Generally these treatments are located in outside bend areas of the River and are necessary to
reduce the likelihood of channel migration and evolution which will reduce erosion. The
average width of the channel would be maintained. Longitudinal dikes are planned for the
portions of the River with more severe erosion and erosion potential. After stone placement,
soil would be excavated and placed along the back edge of the longitudinal dike with a bulldozer
and compacted. Topsoil will be replaced along the slope and compacted to allow for riparian
planting which will include live stakes, wattles and additional native woody plants. Native
grasses will be seeded in order to reduce soil erosion along the graded slope. Excess soil would
be taken to one of the designated upland soil areas.
- Treatment 6 involves sloping the stream bank back to a stable slope by excavating the bank with
a large excavator. 24" to 36" stones will be placed at the toe of the riverbank with a large
excavator to form angle dikes. Angle dikes would be oriented at a 60 degree angle up channel.
The purpose of the angle dikes is to provide flow deflection and fish habitat. Angle dikes have
been used successfully at the project upstream of this reach. The angle dikes are oriented
upstream so that flow is directed toward the center of the channel. An estimated 10 to 20 angle
dikes would be placed within the project area. A typical plan view for the intended angle dikes
is included in the drawings. Topsoil will be replaced along the slope and compacted to allow for
riparian planting establishment which will include live stakes, wattles and additional native
woody plants. Native grasses will be seeded in order to reduce soil erosion along the graded
slope. Excess soil would be taken to one of the designated upland soil areas.
- Treatment 7 involves sloping the stream bank back to a stable slope by excavating the bank with
a large excavator. 24" to 36" stones will be placed at the toe of the riverbank with a large
excavator to form angle dikes. Angle dikes that would be oriented at a 60 degree angle up
channel. The purpose of the angle dikes is to provide flow deflection and fish habitat. Angle
dikes have been used successfully at the project upstream of this reach. The angle dikes are
oriented upstream so that flow is directed toward the center of the channel. An estimated 10 to
20 angle dikes would be placed within the project area. Drawing CS301 shows the typical plan
view for the intended angle dikes. Layers of live brush will be placed on the final grade of the
slope and will be anchored with stakes, including live stakes. This treatment will form a brush
mattress on the slope. Excess soil would be taken to one of the designated upland soil areas.
Note — The number of angle dikes will vary within treatments 6 and 7; however, the total number
of angle dikes is estimated to be no more than 20 within the project area.
-Riffle structures /crossing will involve placing stone on the stream bed to create a riffle structure.
The structures will be used during construction as stream crossings and access points for the
4

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Watauga Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project
construction equipment. Upon completion of construction the structures would be reconfigured
as indicated on the typical cross section, as show in the construction plans sheet CS301, as a
riffle structure to provide in- stream habitat and will also allow for limited recreational access to
the stream. The stone riffle structures will be constructed 2 and /or 1.5 foot above the channel
bed with 1 vertical on 3 horizontal upstream slopes and 1 vertical on 20 horizontal slope
downstream. This will improve the overall habitat of the stream by creating pool and riffle
complexes. These will be constructed in a manner to allow for fish passage.
For the riffle structure, on the riverbank slopes, geoweb will be placed and backfilled with
granular material. See drawing CG501 for a description of geoweb. Geoweb will allow for
vegetation to establish on these accessways.
Upon completion of construction, the construction access points will be utilized for recreational
access by the public. Many visitors to the Greenway Trail often access the River along the trail.
Since the bank slope will be constructed with a gentle grade and stone base from the construction
access points, these areas will be utilized for the permanent public access points to the River.
The constructed and defined access points will minimize impacts to the riparian corridor by
directing common access to the River. After construction is completed, two to three larger
stones would be placed at the top of the slope to prohibit motorized vehicle access to or across
the River.
Boulders and Boulder Clusters — Boulder clusters will be placed in selected reaches of the River
to provide habitat for fish and other stream organisms by creating stream bed diversity. Current
conditions show a uniform flat bottom consisting of coarse substrate with fine sands. The
boulders would be sized at four to five foot top sized stones and would be placed into the stream
in one to three stone clusters. Stone clusters would be within sections of the stream that
currently have uniform streambed and the clusters would provide in- stream habitat.
Boulders will be placed based upon the outcome of hydraulic analyses. Current sizing and
location is based upon evaluations of existing in- stream boulders within the upstream and
downstream reaches.
Riparian corridor establishment and enhancement will occur along the River where the riparian
corridor is narrow and /or absent. The downstream portion of the left descending bank of the
River has an established corridor which will not be disturbed. Area R1 currently has no woody
vegetation and is dominated by reed canary grass. In R1, the invasive plant species will be
removed and woody vegetation will be planted. Native trees and shrubs along with a native
herbaceous seed mix would be planted within these areas. Areas labeled on the plan view map
as "R" are where riparian vegetation will be planted. Approximately six (6) acres of native
riparian area will be established by this project and are located outside waters of the U.S.
Bottomland Hardwood Forest areas will be established adjacent to the riparian areas (as an
extension of the riparian areas). These areas are currently maintained lawn or athletic field areas
which would be restored to bottomland hardwood forests. Native trees and shrubs along with a
native herbaceous seed mix would be planted within these areas. Areas labeled on the plan view
map as `B" are where bottomland hardwood areas would be established. In area B 10, overland

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Watauga Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project
surface drainage will be redirected to the B 10 area as opposed to directly to the South Fork of the
New River as it currently is configured. Over three and one -half (3.5) acres of bottomland
hardwood forest establishment is planned for this project. The bottomland forested areas will
rely on stable foundations provided by the riverbank stabilization treatments. These areas are
also located outside waters of the U.S.
Wetland establishment would occur in two areas. Wetland 1 (W1) would be located on the
eastern side of the project site. Currently the area contains a small emergent linear wetland that
is approximately 0.1 acre in size. This area is dominated by reed canary grass. Currently there is
a trail located on each side of this area. The paved Greenway Trail between WI and the River
would be removed. After this portion of the trail is removed, the area will be planted with native
vegetation. Within WI an emergent wetland and associated buffer would be established.
Continuous with the buffer area closest to the River, a riparian corridor would also be
established. The existing trail on the land side of WI would become the permanent Greenway
Trail which moves it away from the River. To establish this wetland area, an existing culvert
within the existing berm downslope of WI would be replaced with a variable water control
structure. See drawing CS 104 and CG501.
The entire unmaintained (not mowed) area is dominated by reed canary grass. The reed canary
grass would be removed by herbicide application that is safe around water. Minor excavation
would occur within the wetland area in order to establish the emergent wetland.
Microtopography would be created within the wetland for species diversity. Three planting
zones would be established based upon the hydrology tolerances of the native plants. Permanent
(year around) pools are not planned within this wetland. A clay amendment to the soil is planned
to assist with wetland establishment.
Equipment used for wetland establishment would include large and small excavators, bulldozer,
skid steer loader, roller compactor, and on/off road dump trucks. Seeds would be likely hand
broadcasted and plantings would be likely hand planted or done using small equipment.
Area W4 will be established on the northwestern part of this project. This area is also dominated
by reed canary grass. An unnamed tributary that flows to the South Fork of the New River is
present within this area. This channel is approximately 570 linear feet long within the project
area and is ditch -like in form and function. The tributary is experiencing significant channel
degradation and active head cutting near the confluence with the South Fork of the New River.
This degradation is disconnecting the tributary from its floodplain in lowering the adjacent
groundwater table. In channel work will consist of limited excavation and placement of two
dike structures to prevent channel degradation. In order to provide hydrology to the wetland
area, two dikes or check dams will be installed across (perpendicular to) the tributary. This will
act to spread the water across the constructed wetland area. It will also slow the water down and
filter it before it enters the River. The base of the downstream dike would be approximately 35
feet wide within the channel and the upstream dike would be approximately 15 feet wide at the
base. See drawing CS 105 and CG301. The excavation in the wetland will occur adjacent to this
tributary. The goal of this project feature is to restore stream functionality to the tributary and
create adjacent wetlands.

Equipment used for wetland establishment would include large and small excavators, bulldozer,
skid steer loader, roller compactor, and on/off road dump trucks. Seeds would be likely hand
broadcasted and plantings would likely be hand planted or done using small equipment.
Wetland establishment within this area will also require some excavation, creation of
microtopography and mixing of clay within the existing soil. Permanent (year around) pools are
not planned within this wetland. A small emergent wetland is located in this area. The wetland
may be disturbed by the establishment of the larger wetland area through excavation.
Since this area is also dominated by reed canary grass, it will be treated with an appropriate
herbicide that is applicable around water. After the structures and the excavation are completed,
native plants will be planted within three planting zones based upon the hydrology tolerances of
the plants.
The wetland areas and their associated buffers (WI and W4) to be established are approximately
three (3) acres in size.
Native plant species will be established within all restoration areas.
Please note the Corps does not have the authority under the Ecosystem Restoration authority to
monitor the site beyond the construction and planting period. Operation and maintenance of the
site is the responsibility of the local sponsor. However, after the first year, the Corps will
perform invasive species control and limited replanting as necessary. The Corps will provide the
local sponsor with an operation and maintenance manual upon completion of construction.
C. Proposed Impacts Inventory
3.i. Stream impacts — Comments:
A portion of the South Fork of the New River will be stabilized using bioengineering techniques
as described in Section B. 3e. In addition, a riparian corridor would be established. Some of the
impacts are permanent, such as the toe stone for stabilization, and some temporary impacts are
required for sloping of the banks to establish a stable slope and riparian areas. On the River,
from the beginning to the end of the project is 3,980 linear feet. This is indicated on the
drawings as the up river and down river limits; however, only portions of the River will require
work within this section as indicated on the attached drawings.
Within the unnamed tributary (S2), minor excavation may be necessary for the establishment of
the emergent wetland and a stable bank. The channel will be restored to have a connection to its
adjacent floodplain. Two permanent stone dikes would be placed in the tributary. The unnamed
tributary is 570 feet in length within the project area; however, the two dikes will have a limited
footprint of approximately 35 and 15 linear feet each at the base. These permanent stone dikes
would be placed across the tributary to force the water to reconnect with adjacent flood plain
area where the wetland area will be constructed as opposed to flowing straight to the South Fork
of the New River. The unnamed tributary channel would remain on its current alignment.
Runoff from the adjacent ball fields would be directed into these wetlands as opposed to flowing
directly into the River. At the confluence with the River, Treatment type 6 will be installed.

Along the River, up and downstream of the confluence bank sloping and re- vegetation will
extend into this unnamed tributary toward the downstream dike structure.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
lb. Avoidance and minimization through construction techniques
Close coordination between design staff, construction inspectors, and construction contractor
staff will be effected by scheduled and unscheduled site visits by design staff A full time
government construction inspector will be onsite. Contractor will be required to participate in
pre -bid meeting, pre - construction meeting, preparatory inspections, inspections during
construction, and final inspections. During these meetings and inspections the government and
the contractor will work together to identify environmentally friendly and low cost methods for
construction.
Specific measures to avoid and minimize impacts and reduce cost:
• Contractor would avoid double handling materials.
• Appropriately sized equipment will be used to work from the bank when feasible.
• Temporary and permanent vegetation will be established as grading phases are complete.
• Excavation of reaches of river bank will only occur where bank stabilization could be
completed within a reasonable amount of time.
• Sediment and erosion control features including grading, berming, surface water flow
diversions, biodegradable mating installation, plant establishment, and toe of bank
protection will be used to keep soil from entering the water.
• Best Management Practices from Sediment and Erosion Control are included in the
drawings page CS601
• Work would be conducted from the top of the bank as practicable
• Areas will be seeded and /or mulched to prevent erosion.

Overview of waters within the project boundaries for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Watauga Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Project
On July 1 — 2, 2013, a field investigation was conducted for the purpose of identifying wetlands
and streams within the project area. The following waters were identified:
-The main stream on site is the South Fork of the New River, a perennial stream. The River is
identified as S 1 on the Pre - Construction Notification form. Generally the project area runs from
the covered pedestrian bridge to the next downstream pedestrian bridge. Upstream and
downstream limits for the South Fork of the New River are identified on the plan sheet.
-Two other small tributaries were identified within the project site:
-An unnamed tributary to the South Fork of the New River is labeled on the map as S2.
The tributary appears to have been straightened many years ago. The channel is ditch like in
form and function. The channel is deeper near the confluence with the South Fork of the New
River. Head - cutting is forming at the mouth of the channel. As you move upstream, the channel
becomes almost completely overgrown by vegetation and the channel itself becomes difficult to
discern. Reed canary grass dominates the majority of the area surrounding the channel. The
vegetation upstream is more diverse than the area downstream. Two dikes would be placed
across the channel within the downstream portion to create a wetland (W4) within this area. The
channel would remain in its current location.
-An unnamed tributary to the South Fork of the New River is labeled on the map as S3.
The area has been relatively undisturbed and has an established riparian zone. No impacts are
proposed within this area.
The project area was investigated for the presence of wetlands. The majority of the project area
is used as recreational fields for Appalachian State University. Areas within the maintained
recreational fields did not meet wetland criteria. Field investigation and aerial photographs
indicate these areas have been maintained as recreational field for many years. See the attached
aerial photos under tab A.

The project area was investigated for wetlands using the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987) by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain
and Piedmont Region (Version 2), April 2012. Two small wetland areas were identified and
labeled on the map as WI and W2. The area surrounding WI and W2 did not meet the
hydrology and hydric soil criteria although it was dominated by reed canary grass (Phalaris
arundinacea).
The wetland identified as WI is slightly lower in elevation within this area where the water flows
during rain events. The area holds enough water to meet the hydrology and hydric soil criteria
within this narrow strip. Water from this wetland goes under an existing culvert where the trail
crosses below. Minor excavation would occur within this area in order to enhance and expand
the wetland area.
The wetland identified as W2 is a small pocket near S2. This wetland pocket is lower in
elevation than the surrounding land and meets wetland criteria. Minor excavation may occur
within this area in order to expand the wetland within this area.
W3 is included in this map as an estimation of wetland within this area. At the time of the site
investigation, this area was outside the project area and was not sampled in the field. However,
the project area has expanded so that additional area may be preserved. By observation it is
estimated that this area may be a wetland. Vegetation within this area consisted of Scirpus sp.,
Eleocharis sp. and other sedges. Soil samples were not taken within this area; however, it
appears the estimation on the attached map adequately captures the potential wetland area. No
discharge of dredged and /or fill material is proposed within this area.

Repository:
A repository is a place where your files are stored. It contains your documents, organized within
folders, and additional information about those documents and folders.
Folder:
Folders aid the organization of your documents. They can contain imaged documents, electronic
documents, shortcuts, and other folders.
Imaged Document:
When you create a document by scanning or importing pages into the repository, you create an
imaged document.
Electronic Document:
Tk An electronic document is a document that contains an electronic file, such as a Word document
or PDF. Electronic documents can contain searchable text and metadata, and they open in their
native applications through Web Access.
INDocument:
Web Access uses the term "document" to refer to an imaged document or an electronic document.
