4. Project Description and History
State / Province / Region
NC
Country
USA
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:*
On -site conditions generally consist of an historically channelized tributary to Davis Mine Creek and associated lawn areas. The current channel consists primarily of silt bottom and no
other stabilizing in -channel structure. Banks are heavily maintained. Current channel dimensions are not suitable for flood flows typical of the watershed. Land use in the vicinity consists of
residential subdivisions and fragmented mixed forest.
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:
481
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to construct channel and bank improvements to the channelized upper tributary to Davis Mine Creek to improve in -channel habitat and the ability of the
channel to convey flood flows as flooding is a major problem in the surrounding residential community.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
This project proposes improvements to the channel and bank of the UT to Davis Mine Creek to improve channel stability and hydraulics of the watershed to reduce flooding. The project
will result in 481 If/0.024 ac. of temporary impacts due to channel improvement activities. Banks will be laid back and floodplain benches will be constructed. Riffle -pool bedforms will be
installed along the entire length so that channel dimensions will be appropriate for the volume of 2-year flows. In -channel structure will also be improved with the construction of riffle grade
control structures throughout the entire length of the channel. Approximately six 10-ft long/30 sq ft riffle structures will be constructed and spaced about 50 ft apart. This project will result in
a channel with improved ability to hold flood flows; a channel that will be more resistant to deleterious erosion resulting from said flood flows; and a channel that will contain substantially
improved in -channel habitat as the addition of riffles will provide substrate for a wide range of benthic fauna. Dewatering and pump around operations will occur so that work can be done
in the dry.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes
Comments:
No Unknown
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?*

1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
No permanent loss of waters is proposed. All impacts will be temporary and aim to improve in -channel habitat and hydraulics. This project will result in a
channel with improved ability to hold flood flows; a channel that will be more resistant to deleterious erosion resulting from said flood flows; and a
channel that will contain substantially improved in -channel habitat as the addition of riffles will provide substrate for a wide range of benthic fauna.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All improvements will be constructed using natural channel design techniques. No artificial bank or channel hardening is proposed. Dewatering and
pump around operations will occur so that work can be done in the dry.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Project impacts fall short of USACE mitigation thresholds
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
If no, explain why:
Project does not include and is not adjacent to any protected NC Riparian buffer.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250? *
