English Stream Enhancement Project
McDowell County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Higgins:
The English Stream Enhancement Project area is located in McDowell County, North Carolina near the intersection
Of US 221 and English Road (Figure 1). The English Stream Enhancement Project is part of the Western Stream
Initiative (WSI) program which is a partnership between Resource Institute (RI) and the Natural Resource
Conservation Service (NRCS) in its second year of implementation. The program seeks to complete projects on
agricultural lands that have been identified by NRCS staff in Western North Carolina. These projects are typically
somewhat longer and more challenging, in one or more respects, than traditional NRCS- funded projects. NRCS
federal grants fund WSI and similar bank stabilization projects as agricultural best management practices for the
purpose of reducing erosion and sedimentation into streams, installing complementary practices such as fencing and
watering, and in some cases for habitat enhancement. NRCS approved Technical Services Providers (TSPs) are
selected by, and contract with, RI to provide design and engineering services for the WSI projects. The designs
adhere to NRCS standard practices. Sites generally seek to achieve stable banks and /or channel stability through
bank sloping, structure installation or other minimally invasive methods. All bank slope and structural improvements
are accompanied by stream bank planting. Existing buffers and vegetation are typically maintained or enhanced. On
some project sites, more substantial work is required to abandon up- valley meanders or to otherwise correct
instability related to pattern where such work can be justified. Construction work is being conducted by pre - qualified
stream restoration contractors, selected by RI. These contractors have substantial experience in stream restoration
projects and work in partnership with TSPs and RI to complete high quality bank and channel stabilization efforts
under this program.
RI has an agreement (attached) with landowners that agrees that RI will be the applicant. An Agent Authorization
Form is attached which provides verification that Aaron Earley, the TSP for Wildlands Engineering, is acting for RI.
Project Overview
The English Stream Enhancement Project is on the North Fork Catawba River and involves approximately 1,400
linear feet of bank grading and channel stabilization work which includes slight adjustments to stream pattern
(Figures 2 & 3). The project reach is experiencing bank erosion, especially along outside meanders, as a result of tight
channel pattern and minimal stream bank vegetation. Large boulders and debris are also diverting flows at the
stream banks which is increasing erosion in areas. In- stream structures including cross -vanes and j-hooks will help
stabilize bed and banks and create conditions for natural recovery. The project also proposes to lay back eroding

banks to a stable bank angle that can be matted and re- vegetated for long -term stability. There are three unnamed
tributaries (UT2 -UT3) that enter the North Fork Catawba River within the project reach. Minor grading may be
necessary along UT3 to tie the channel into the slightly adjusted pattern of the North Fork Catawba River. No other
work is proposed to these tributaries.
Jurisdictional Determination
WSI project sites being permitted by Wildlands Engineering ( Wildlands) were discussed with Tasha Alexander of the
US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Asheville Field Office in June, 2024. Sites are on large streams and the primary
activities are occurring on the large streams. On some sites, small tributaries/ditches are affected. In all instances, it
appeared likely that tributaries were intermittent or perennial. When affected, impacts were included in the total.
Ms. Alexander indicated that USGS topographic mapping (provided) and photographs should be sufficient when
affected tributaries are present, and in order to verify the jurisdiction on the mainstream. Wildlands Engineering
performed afield delineation for the English Site on May, 28, 2025. In addition to the North Fork Catawba River,
three additional unnamed tributaries and one wetland (Wetland A) were identified. The three tributaries exhibited
continuous bed and bank, baseflow, and supported a variety of aquatic life (including macroinverterbrates, aquatic
mollusks, and fish). The three tributaries were classified as perennial using North Carolina Division of Water
Resources Stream Identification Form (Version 4.22). Wetland A is a small feature that directly abuts UT3. Wetland
A exhibited drift deposits, oxidized rhizospheres, and low chroma soils. The area has been historically grazed and
lacks a canopy. Understory vegetation within Wetland A included American sycamore (Platanus ocadentalis) and
black willow (Salix nigra). The herbaceous layer was primary shallow sedge (Carex lurida) and common rush (Juncus
effusus). A USACE Approved Jurisdictional Determination Form, USACE Wetland Determination Forms (DP2 &
DP2), and North Carolina Division of Water Resources Stream Identification Forms are included in the package. Soil
mapping based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) NRCS Soil Survey for Alleghany County indicates soils
within the project area are mapped as Ostin cobbly loam sand (PtB) (See Figure 4). This unit is described as a
moderately well- drained soil found on floodplains that occasional experiences flooding.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed stream enhancement work will temporary impact 2,400 linear feet of the North Fork Catawba River.
Stream work will be conducted with trackhoes and tracktrucks. Stream crossings and in- stream work will be
minimized to the extent feasible however in- stream work will be necessary to construct structures. Due to the large
stream size (7.5 square miles drainage area), continuous pump around is not an option and some of the work will be
performed in the wet. Final plans will prescribe to use off -line construction or short-term pump arounds whenever
feasible, to avoid working in the wet In- stream sediments are primarily sand and gravel and, as such, are not
susceptible to generate excessive turbidity or downstream impacts. Bank grading will be done with caution to avoid
spillback and transport of graded sediments into the river. Impacts to the unnamed tributaries in the project area will
be avoided as much as possible. An existing ford farm crossing of UT3. will be utilized to access the project area just
north of English Road. A mud mat will be installed over the channel during construction to minimize impacts but
temporary impacts of approximately 22 LF are being accounted for on UT2. The channel will be restored to pre-
existing conditions after construction. Temporary impacts to 72 LF of UT3 would be necessary to tie -in the channel to
the North Fork Catawba River whose pattern will be slightly adjusted in the vicinity of UT3.

Mutual Agreement
for
Stream restoration Project
Resource Institute (RI) is a non - profit organization that assists organizations and
individuals in carrying out projects to protect natural and human resources while promoting
economic development. RI can assist with projects in a variety of ways, including, but not limited
to, fund- raising, administering project funds, and contracting for services needed to complete a
project. RI has recently adopted a project referred to as the Western North Carolina Stream
Initiative to help farmers and landowners address eroding stream banks that are negatively
affecting them through loss of property,'hazards for livestock, sediment transport into a stream and
degraded aquatic habitat. The farmer /landowner has either initiated an application for assistance
through USDA/NRCS's EQIP program or has already signed an agreement/contract for assistance
with USDA/NRCS's EQIP program. RI's role is to help attain the funding, for the design,
construction oversight and unmet construction needs of the work for sites with current EQIP
prograrn agreements /contracts through USDA/NRCS.
RI will assist the farmerhandowner by helping to address issues related to managing and
contracting for the required design, planning, permitting and construction work for stream
enhancement practices on the site, as well as necessary structure work, and bank stabilization. RI's
objective is to help address current water quality degradation issues; however, work cannot be
guaranteed for acts of nature related to flood events. RI is working with NRCS, Conservation
Districts and the farmer /landowner to help reduce those impacts as much as possible.
In providing services to the farmer /landowner on this tract of land for stream
restoration/stabilization activities to be performed we thereby mutually agree to the following
items:
1. The farmer /landowner will allow ingress and egress for all activities related to the stream
restoration/stabilization such as: surveys, engineering, construction, monitoring, etc. for
RI and its agents.
2. Farmer /landowner will follow the contractual guidance in the EQIP program with USDA,
NRCS.
3. Farmer /landowner will allow NRCS to provide RI with a copy of the associated NRCS
EQIP contract and/or contract modifications for the purpose of allowing RI to share with
RI's other funders in an effort to help obtain matching dollars. (Initial /date)9Z 3
4. RI will serve as the financial manager for all funds related to the stream
restoration/stabilization activities received for the project.
5. RI will provide project management services such as, obtaining the technical resources,
bidding and contracting of project elements, and project construction oversight.
6. RI will work with farmershandowners to resolve differences between construction costs
and payment schedule rates.

3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The Western Stream Initiative (WSI) program is a partnership in its first year of implementation to complete projects that
have been identified by Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) staff in Western North Carolina The purpose is
to conduct channel and bank enhancement work to reduce instream erosion. The NRCS funds WSI and similar bank
stabilization projects as agricultural best management practices for the purpose of reducing erosion and sedimentation
into streams, and in some cases for habitat enhancement
3e Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used
The work performed on the site will consist of stabilizing stream bed and banks through the use of in- stream structures
and laying back stream banks to a stable bank angle that can be matted and re- vegetated for long -term stability Banks
will be re- vegetated based on NRCS best management practices and will include seeding, matting, and livestaking along
the banks Existing vegetated buffers will be maintained or enhanced where needed
Streamwork will be conducted with trackhoes and tracktrucks Due to the large stream size, a pump around is not a
realistic option and some work will be performed in the wet Bank grading will be done with caution to avoid spillback of
graded sediments into the river

Explain-
Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below
z 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)
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section III F

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
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), 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 RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year -round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.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 waterbody° 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 III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.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:

adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III D
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
Section III.D.
