D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed work and associated impacts are intended to stabilize Brushy Fork Creek and the streambanks along the
property reach while minimizing impacts to aquatic resources. Design measures which minimize impacts include j -hook, toe
wood, cross vane and alternating thalweg structures intended to decrease site sedimentation. All streambanks will then be
planted with appropriate native species (see re -veg detail).
All disturbed buffer areas will be immediately seeded upon completion (temporary - annual ryegrass), matted (coconut/coir
matting), and stabilized at the close of each construction day. Following construction, the banks of the restored channel will be
seeded with a native floodplain mix (permanent seed). Live stakes and matting staples will be used to secure the coconut
matting in these high- stress areas.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
All heavy equipment will be kept out of the stream channel during project construction except where absolutely necessary to
install in- stream structures. Any entering of the channel or immediate riparian area will be done with new equipment, no
hydraulic leaks tolerated. Disturbance of channel bottom and banks and equipment access areas shall be held to the minimum
necessary to allow for bank stablization sufficient to restore the hydraulic capacity of the stream channel. Streamflow will be
diverted around the work area when channel base flow is less than 5 cfs. Flow diversion will not be performed for work that is
done from the top of bank, or minor placement of structures.

B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There Are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required]
1. Waters of the U.S.
a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply): 1

Non - wetland waters: Approx. 1950 linear feet: —22.7 ft (bkf) width (ft) and/or acres.
Wetlands: 0 acres.
c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: Established by OHWM.
Elevation of established OHWM (if known):-2750 -3000 feet.
2. Non - regulated waters /wetlands (check if applicable) :3
Potentially jurisdictional waters and /or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year -round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section HIT.

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 III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW: No TNW found onsite.
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
deter mi ne whether or not the standards for jurisdictionestablished under Rapanos have been met.
T he agencies wi I I assert j ur isdiction over non - navigable tr i butar ies of T NW s where the tr i butar ies are " relatively per manent
waters" (R PW s), 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 R PW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a T NW, but has year -round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section I I I .D.2. I f the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section I I I.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an R PW 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 water body4 is not an R PW, or a wetland directly abutting an R PW, a J D will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a T NW. I f 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 D covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section I I I.B.1 for
the tributary, Section I I1.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section I I1.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section I I I.0 below.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
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 integrity
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 tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant 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 lies within or
outside of a floodplain 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, 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 lifecycle 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?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non -RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non -RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non -RPW flows directly or indirectly into

3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to

Dear Mr. McGuire:
Subject: Federally Endangered and Threatened Species Assessment, Brushy Fork Creek Stream
Restoration Project (Turner Property), Adjacent to North Carolina Highway 321,
Northeast of Boone, in Watauga County, North Carolina
On February 26, 2014, we received (via e -mail) a letter from you in which you requested our
review and comments for the proposed project. We have reviewed the information presented
and we are providing the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661- 667e), and section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) (Act).
Your letter indicates that steam restoration measures are proposed for a segment of Brushy Fork
Creek. No specific plans for the project were included. The project site consists of agricultural
fields and little to no riparian buffer exists along the length of stream proposed for restoration
work.
Endangered Species. According to our records and a review of the information presented, no
listed species or their habitats occur on the site. Therefore, we believe the requirements under
section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be
reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Project Recommendations. We have no objection to the proposed actions and support any
efforts to restore and protect the water quality in the project area. Because stream conditions are
least affected where stream banks are stabilized by deep- rooted woody vegetation, stream
restoration efforts should incorporate the use of native vegetation adapted to site conditions.
Biodegradable erosion - control materials should be incorporated into bank restoration design in
order to stabilize soils as vegetation becomes established. Live, dormant stakes (such as black
willow) may be used to reestablish root structure in riparian areas. In areas where banks are

severely undercut, high, and steep, whole tree revetments or rock may be used as a stabilization
treatment (small rock, gravel, sand, and dirt are not recommended due to their erosive nature).
However, it should not extend above the bank -full elevation (the elevation of the channel where
the natural floodplain begins), and deep- rooting woody vegetation should be established along
banks where any channel work is accomplished. Tree and shrub plantings should be spaced at
intervals no greater than 10 feet along banks. We generally recommend that forested riparian
buffers (a minimum 50 feet wide along intermittent streams and 100 feet wide along perennial
streams [or the full extent of the 100 -year floodplain, whichever is greater]) should be created
and/or maintained along all aquatic areas. If these widths are not practicable then we recommend
that the vegetated riparian zone extend at least 25 feet from the stream channel.
Also, the presence of large woody debris is an important aspect of natural stream conditions in
headwater streams. Woody debris, detritus and other vegetative materials are the main source of
nutrients and carbon necessary for primary productivity in these stream ecosystems. Removal of
this material can affect the production of higher trophic levels, specifically in fish. The Service
does not recommend the removal of woody debris within the stream channel or floodplain unless
it is causing a debris blockage (log jam) or will affect the ability to achieve bank stability along a
specific reach of stream.
Erosion Control and Wetland /Stream Protection. We recommend that measures to control
sediment and erosion should be installed before any ground disturbing activities occur. Grading
and backfilling should be minimized, and existing vegetation should be retained (if possible) to
maintain shoreline cover for fish and wildlife. Disturbed areas should be re- vegetated with
native grass and tree species as soon as the project is completed.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. If we can be of assistance or if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of our staff at
828/258 -3939, Ext. 240. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference
our Log Number 4 -2 -14 -147.
Sincerely,
