2. INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION
A United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional wetland delineation and NC DWQ Stream
Determination was performed for a project site in Rutherford County, North Carolina on May 5, 2021. This
report presents the findings of"waters of the United States" including jurisdictional streams and wetlands, and
"waters of the State". The Subject Property (35.330445°, -81.909328°), is located at 545 Piney Ridge Lane, in
Forest City, North Carolina.
The jurisdictional wetland delineation was conducted according to guidelines set forth in the USACE "Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region
(Version 2.0)." A TVARAM was conducted using the TVARAM Quantitative Rating field form (rev. 2005). The
jurisdictional stream determination was conducted according to guidelines set forth in the joint Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and USACE document, "U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Jurisdictional Instructional
Guidebook", May 2007".
Four jurisdictional streams were identified on the Subject Property: Unnamed Tributary 1, Unnamed Tributary
2, Unnamed Tributary 3, and Unnamed Tributary 4; hereby respectively as UT 1, UT 2, UT 3, and UT 4. One
jurisdictional wetland area (±0.002 acres) was identified on the Subject Property, referred to as Wetland 1. The
wetland area lies at the spring head of UT 1 (See jurisdiction determination map). Adam Williams, of Brushy
Fork Environmental Consulting, Inc. (BFEC), located and flagged the jurisdictional wetland/stream areas shown
on the attached Jurisdictional Site Map given in Appendix C.
3. REGULATORY DEFINITIONS
"Waters of the United States" are regulated by the Corps of Engineers based on authority from Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act. They include waters that are or could be used for interstate commerce such as rivers,
wetlands, lakes, territorial seas, and ponds, as well as streams, waterways, and ditches below the "Ordinary
High-Water Mark (OHWM)". Manmade water bodies and farmed wetlands may also be considered
jurisdictional depending on their connection to other "waters of the U.S." if they are not actively mined,
farmed, or otherwise managed for five (5) years. A specific detailed definition of "waters of the United States"
can be found in the Federal Register (33 CFR 328.3). Activities in these areas will require a Corps of Engineers
permit if they include the discharge of dredged of fill material into "waters of the U.S.".
"Waters of the State" are "any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other body or accumulation of water. They can be surface or underground, public, or private,
natural, or artificial. Finally, they must be contained in, flow through, or border upon any portion of this State
(North Carolina) (including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction)." This
definition is provided by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of
Water Resources, 401 Buffer Permitting Unit.
4. TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS
Wetlands are defined as areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and
duration enough to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. They are identified based on the three-parameter
2

approach outlined in the Corps of Engineers "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional"(2012). The three criteria include hydrophytic
vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Generally, all three criteria must be present to make a
positive wetland determination. The criteria are defined as follows:
Hydrophytic vegetation, due to morphological, physiological and/or reproductive adaptation(s), has the ability
to grow, effectively compete, reproduce, and/or persist in anaerobic soil conditions. Individual species have
been assigned indicator status by the USFWS - National Wetland Inventory and the National Plant List Panel.
Vegetation is considered hydric when more than 50% of the dominant species from all strata are OBL, FACW,
FAC+ or FAC. Secondary vegetation rules include the species Prevalence Index which takes non-dominant
species into consideration, observed plant morphological and physiological adaptations, and certain
problematic wetland situations.
Indicator Status Probability of Occurrence in Wetlands
Obligate Wetland - OBL > 99%
Facultative Wetland - FACW 67-99%
Facultative - FAC 34-66%
Facultative Upland - FACU 1-33%
Obligate Upland - UPL <1%
Hydric soils are present if they have been classified as hydric or when they possess characteristics associated
with reducing soil conditions known as hydric indicators. Wetland soils were evaluated for hydric indicators
with the USDA/NRCS report "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, A Guide for Identifying and
Delineating Hydric Soils, Version8.2, 2018". Hydric soils in this report are those where an indicator for "All" or
"Loamy and Clayey" soils (USDA Land Resource Region "N") is present. Colors were determined using the
Munsell soil color chart.
Hydrology in wetlands occurs in areas inundated permanently or periodically at mean water depths of<6.6
feet, or if the soil is saturated to the surface for approximately nine (9) days consecutively during the growing
season of the prevalent vegetation. Wetland hydrology indicators may be present above or below the surface.
Primary indicators include inundation, saturation in the upper 12 inches, watermarks on standing structure,
sediment deposits and hydrogen sulfide odor. A minimum of one primary indicator is required for the
presence of a wetland. Secondary indicators (two or more required) include drainage patterns, moss trim
lines, crayfish burrows, and the FAC-neutral test.
In general, an area must meet all three criteria to be classified as a wetland. In certain "naturally problematic"
areas such as seasonal wetlands which are not wet at all times, or in recently disturbed situations, an area may
be considered a wetland if only two criteria are met.
Perennial stream means a well-defined channel that contains water year-round during a year of normal
rainfall with the aquatic bed located below the water table for most of the year. Groundwater is the primary
source of water for a perennial stream, but it also carries stormwater runoff. A perennial stream exhibits the
typical biological, hydrological, and physical characteristics commonly associated with the continuous
conveyance of water. [15A NCAC 02B .0233(2)(i)]
3

Intermittent stream means a well-defined channel that contains water for only part of the year, typically
during winter and spring when the aquatic bed is below the water table. The flow may be heavily
supplemented by stormwater runoff. An intermittent stream often lacks the biological and hydrological
characteristics commonly associated with the conveyance of water. [15A NCAC 02B .0233(2)(g)]
Ephemeral (stormwater) stream means a feature that carries only stormwater in direct response to
precipitation with water flowing only during and shortly after large precipitation events. An ephemeral stream
may or may not have a well-defined channel, the aquatic bed is always above the water table, and stormwater
runoff is the primary source of water. An ephemeral stream typically lacks the biological, hydrological, and
physical characteristics commonly associated with the continuous or intermittent conveyance of water. [15A
NCAC 02B .0233(2)(d)]
5. SITE DESCRIPTION
5.1 General
The Subject Property consists of a ±55.5 acre parcel in south-central Rutherford County, approximately 2.5
miles west of Forest City (PIN 1625729). The entire Subject Property was evaluated for aquatic resources
subject to federal and state jurisdiction. Elevations on-site range between ±980 and ±1080 feet above mean
sea level (Appendix B).
The Subject Property is in the Floyd's Creek Watershed (HUC12: 030501050502), in the Broad River Basin. The
Streams on property drain to Floyd's Creek, which has been classified as Class C (waters protected for
secondary recreation uses).
5.2 Soils
Three (3) soil types are mapped on the USDA Soil Map presented in Appendix D. The dominant soil type is
Pacolet sandy clay loam which comprises 52.1% of the site. Pacolet-Bethlehem complex comprises 46.9% of
the site and is located along the interfluves of the unnamed tributaries. The southern portion of the site
contains Chewacla loam, found along the flood plain of Floyd's Creek, and makes up 1.1% of the mapped soils.
The soil types which occur on the Subject Property are listed and described in detail below. Soils was compiled
from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey
data, accessed 05/06/2021.

5.3 Wetlands
BFEC delineated one jurisdictional wetland area (Wetland 1) and completed the USACE Wetland
Determination Datasheets for the wetland (W1) and non-wetland area outpoints (01 and 02) within the
Subject Property on May 11, 2021. The wetland boundary and location of soil sample points are presented in
the Jurisdictional Determination Map in Appendix C.
Wetland 1, ±0.002 acres, is located at the spring head of UT 1,just before the stream begins to channelize and
become a linear feature. Wetland 1 is fed by the spring head as well as run-off from the surrounding natural
valley. Surface water, evidence of high water table, and saturation were present hydrologic indicators at the
time of the delineation. Dominate vegetation consists of Carex stipata, Rumex obtusifolius, and Toxicodendron
radicans, resulting in a prevalence index of 2.85.The soil sample (W1) for Wetland 1 presented a matrix of
7.5YR 4/1, and indicators of Sandy Mucky Mineral-S1. See wetland datasheets in Appendix F.
5.4 Streams
Floyd's Creek (C) borders the property off-site to the south. BFEC delineated Four (4) unnamed tributaries to
Floyd's Creek on-site; henceforth UT 1, UT 2, UT 3, and UT 4. The tributaries do not have a classification of
their own, so they inherit the classification of the water body they flow into, Floyd's Creek, classification C.
UT 1
BFEC delineated UT 1 beginning just downstream of the spring head and Wetland 1. A stream determination
sample point (SD 1) was taken further up-valley resulting in a score of 1.5. UT 1 begins at a spring head and
flows southeast along the natural valley to the confluence with UT 2, and continues off-site. UT 1 is
approximately 2 feet in width and ± 828 linear feet on-site.
At the time of the site visit, UT 1 channel had moderate continuity with the bank, and moderate sinuosity,
with the upstream portion having some straight segments, and sinuosity increasing downstream. In-channel
structures were moderate, pools and riffles were present but distinguishing the transition between the two
was difficult. Some coarse sediment was present within the stream. A floodplain was present, but not obvious,
with infrequent indicators of benches and recent alluvial deposits. A couple of head-cuts were observed, with
the most prominent one at the spring head. Roots and woody debris provided permanent grade control.
Baseflow was present at the time of the site visit in the thalweg region of the channel, with an abundant
presence of iron oxidized bacteria. A small amount of leaf litter was present but concentrated in pools. Small
drift lines and some fine sediment on plants were noted. Fibrous roots and rooted upland plants were noted in
the streambed, occurring more frequently in the upstream portion of the channel. There were no
macrobenthos, aquatic mollusks, fish, crayfish, or amphibians identified at the time of the site visit.
UT 1 scored a total of 30.25 points (SD2) with the NC DWQ Stream Identification Form, and ranked as
perennial see Appendix E.
UT 2
BFEC delineated UT 2 starting at a spring head in a subtle valley, near the eastern property boundary. UT 2
flows southeast before turning west to its confluence with UT 1, a total of±157 linear feet on-site. UT 2 ranked
as an intermittent channel (SD3), with an average width of 4 feet.
5

At the time of the site visit, UT 2's channel presented weak continuity with the bank and weak sinuosity. The
channel displayed some weak riffle-pool structure, with poor development within the soil profile. The
floodplain was not inherently obvious and showed some small amounts of alluvium within the channel while
lacking bars and benches. No head-cuts were present until after it joins UT 1. No grade control was observed
along UT 2.
Base flow was visible at the time of the site visit, originated from a spring head. Iron oxidizing bacteria was
observed throughout the reach. Sediment was present on plants and debris within the stream and small pile
lines were observed.
Fibrous roots, including Microstegium vimineum, and rooted upland plants were noted in the streambed.
There were no macrobenthos, aquatic mollusks, fish, crayfish, or amphibians identified at the time of the site
visit. Wetland plants (Carex spp, and Juncus effusus) and some algae were identified along the reach.
UT 2 scored a total of 17.75 points with the NC DWQ Stream Identification Form, and ranked as intermittent,
see Appendix E—SD3.
UT 3
BFEC delineated UT 3 in the southern portion of the property, north of the woods line. A wetland datasheet
was completed up-valley where there were signs of wetland vegetation, but no hydric soils were present (02).
BFEC delineated the start of UT 3 further south where the valley narrowed. UT 3 is approximately 2 feet wide
and flows south, ±161 feet on-site, to the confluence with UT 4.
At the time of the site visit, UT 3's channel had continuous bed and bank with few interruptions. The channel
displayed some weak riffle-pool structure, dominated by pools. The characteristics of a floodplain were not
present, and the stream showed small amounts of alluvium within the channel in addition to infrequent bars
and benches. A head-cut was present further downstream once UT 3 and UT 4 confluence.
Water was only present in pools along the reach, with iron oxidizing bacteria. Sediment was present on plants
and debris within the stream and small pile lines were observed.
Very few fibrous roots and rooted upland plants were noted in the streambed. There were no macrobenthos,
aquatic mollusks, fish, crayfish, amphibians, or algae identified at the time of the site visit. Wetland plants
(Juncus effusus) were present in the up-stream portion of the reach.
UT 3 scored a total of 28.25 points with the NC DWQ Stream Identification Form (SD4), and ranked as
intermittent, see Appendix E.
UT 4
BFEC delineated UT 4 starting at a head-cut in the southwest portion of the property. The channel flows
southeast to the confluence with UT 3, and continues off-site. UT 4 ranked as intermittent along the up-
stream portion of the reach and becomes perennial downstream of a head-cut after the confluence with UT 3.
UT 4 is approximately 3-4 feet in width and ± 526 linear feet on-site.
6

The upstream reach of UT 4 does not clearly follow the valley bottom and originates near the western
property boundary. The channel appears to be dominated by stormwater runoff likely from the bordering
residential subdivision to the west. Once UT 3 and UT 4 join, the channel becomes more a more prominent
perennial stream. At the time of the site visit, UT 4 channel had moderate continuity with the bank, but weak
sinuosity. In-channel structures were weak, although some wood debris and grade control were noted. Some
coarse sediment was present within the stream, but no representation of bars or benches. A floodplain was
present in small, infrequent sections.
Standing pools held evidence of baseflow at the time of the site visit, with no evidence of iron oxidizing
bacteria. A small amount of leaf litter was present but concentrated in pools. Small drift lines and some fine
sediment on plants were noted. A discontinuous network of fibrous roots were noted in the streambed,
occurring more frequently in the upstream portion of the channel. There were no macrobenthos, aquatic
mollusks, fish, crayfish, or amphibians identified at the time of the site visit.
UT 4 scored a total of 20.50 points (SD5) with the NC DWQ Stream Identification Form, and ranked as
intermittent see Appendix E.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1)the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit)or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
