RE: 4041401 Permit (Nationwide 27) Application
Lower Creek Stream Restoration
Lenoir, Caldwell County, NC
Dear Mr. Kichefski and Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of our client, Resource Institute, Inc., Kimley -Horn is submitting the enclosed joint
Section 404/401 Preconstruction Notification Application for the above referenced project for
your review pursuant to a Nationwide Permit #27 and General 401 Water Quality
Certification number 3885. This application is to conduct stream restoration for the purposes
of improving water quality, bank stabilization, and aquatic habitat for a segment of Lower
Creek and a segment of an Unnamed Tributary (UT) to Lower Creek located at
approximately 35.865045 °N, - 81.595970 °W. This project was approved under a previous
authorization (SAW- 2009 - 00791), however, due to funding issues at that time the
Ecosystem Enhancement Program did not proceed through construction and the previous
authorization expired. The scope of this permit request has been reduced in comparison to
the previously authorized project scope. The following information is included as part of this
application submittal:
• Project Summary Sheet

The Lower Creek Site is located approximately 4 miles southwest of Lenoir, North Carolina
in Caldwell County near the intersection of Rocky Road and US Highway 64. Both Lower
Creek and UT to Lower Creek appear to be historically straightened and cattle actively
access the streams. Located adjacent to Lower Creek on the right side is a manufacturing
facility that is no longer in operation. The Cardwell property, located on the left bank, is
predominately active cattle pasture. There is little to no woody riparian buffer located on
Lower Creek or the UT to Lower Creek. Currently Lower Creek is an unstable system that
has steep, eroding, vertical banks and no vegetative buffer along the left bank. Cattle have
open access to the stream and are degrading the water quality along the reach. Along the
Cardwell property, a new meander is severely eroding large sections of bank and is
negatively affecting the entire reach downstream through a dramatic increase in sediment
load. UT to Lower Creek is also an extremely unstable system that is highly incised and is
also demonstrating severely eroding banks. This reach also has little to no vegetative buffer
and has been historically cleared and straightened. As with Lower Creek, this reach also
has open access to cattle and is experiencing degradation in water quality.
The 404/401 (NWP 27) application presents site conditions evaluated by Kimley -Horn staff
(Jason Claudio -Diaz, P.E. and Chris Tinklenberg, PWS) on April 20, 2015. The stream
delineation was performed by utilizing survey prepared by a licensed surveyor (verified by
Kimley- Horn).
The proposed project seeks to restore /stabilize 2,064 linear feet of Lower Creek and 663
linear feet of an UT to Lower Creek. The project will create stable stream banks and a
riffle /pool system. The project will also seek to reestablish the riparian flood plain corridor
with native forest vegetation and microtopography. Heavy equipment will be utilized to aid
in restoring natural channel geomorphology through grading and installing in- stream
structures.
The project will result in permanent impacts to 2,727 linear feet of two perennial RPW's and
50 linear feet of temporary impacts from the construction activities necessary to improve
stream functions and reduce bank erosion including the installation of impervious dikes and
a pumped diversion to allow for work in dry conditions.
The proposed stream restoration project will result in 115 linear feet total net loss of waters
of the US. This loss is due to the blowout section of Lower Creek which is actively eroding
and lengthening the stream centerline due to the large meanders it has created. Generally,
stream restoration projects result in net gains of waters of the US when pattern is added to
historically straightened stream channels; however, the restoration design for this project
proposes to stabilize this section by reducing the meander wavelength and radius of
curvature which will reduce the overall stream centerline length but will create a stable
system when combined with in- stream structures and a constructed bankfull bench.

3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Both Lower Creek and UT to Lower Creek appear to be historically straightened and cattle actively access the streams.
Located adjacent to Lower Creek on the right side is a manufacturing facility that is no longer in operation. The Cardwell
property, located on the left bank, is predominately active cattle pasture. There is little to no woody riparian buffer located
on Lower Creek or the UT to Lower Creek. The roughly 57 sqmi. watershed consists of predominantly agricultural land,
residential developments and undeveloped forested land as well as a small percentage of commercial develepment.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
Oac
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
The total length of all on -site streams is approximately 2,842 linear feet.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
To restore, stabilize and /or enhance Lower Creek and an Unnamed Tributary to Lower Creek
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Most of Lower Creek will be restored using a Priority III approach. Currently, the profile is dominated by a series of
bedrock outcrops and has likely reached its maximum level of incision, however, Lower Creek is adapting by trying to add
pattern ( "Blowout' section). The "Blowout' section is the only area on Lower Creek where it is feasible to add in- stream
structures to address the profile issue by adding grade control and re- directing the flow over the existing bedrock.
Stabilizing the channel through the addition of a bankfull bench and stabilizing the low flow bank slope is sufficient to
decrease the shear stresses on the banks during higher flows thus eliminating bank source sediment loads. In the "Blow -
Out' section, a bankfull bench will be added from the top of the boulder toe protection. It will extend for a minimum of 10
feet and tie into the existing bank at a 2:1 slope. Fill will not be directly added into the channel in order to adjust the
dimension due to FEMA constraints on fill and the unconsolidated nature of the sediment. Other areas where Near Bank
Stresses are high due to the existing bedrock deflecting flows into the banks will be addressed by the addition of boulders
to redirect the flow into the center of the channel thus reducing the Bank Erosion Hazard Index associated with those
areas. UT to Lower Creek will be restored using Rosgen natural channel design Priority II and III methodologies for
adjusting the channel dimension, pattern, and /or profile to a stable configuration for restoration reach. UT to Lower Creek
will remain approximately in place for the entire reach and a bankfull bench will be created. The appropriate dimension
and profile will be enhanced to approximately match reference reach values and rock cross vanes will be added to
provide grade control, bank protection, and habitat. Some pattern will be added by meandering the channel between the
existing top of banks. Post construction, riparian buffer areas will be planted with native species in order to restore
habitat connnectivity throughout the conservation easement.
Track hoes and other earth moving equipment is anticipated to be used on this project.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to
each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics
identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot
be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where
there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream
may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score
assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 31 Comments:
Evaluator's Signature
Date 4/20/2015
This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in gathering
the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality. The total score
resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a particular mitigation ratio or
requirement. Form subject to change - version 06/03. To Comment, please call 919 - 876 -8441 x 26.

each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics
identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot
be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where
there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream
may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score
assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 38 Comments:

Re: Lower Creek Stream Restoration Site,

Dear Ms, Hamilton:
Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. is writing this letter on behalf of our client,
NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), to request a no effect
determination from your agency regarding a proposed stream restoration site.
The Lower Creek Stream Restoration Site is located in Caldwell County, North
Carolina.. The location map is enclosed. The site is located in an EEP Targeted
Watershed and consists of a highly unstable, incised, and straightened stream
channel.
The project will create stable stream banks and a riffle /pool system, as well as
provide the opportunity to establish root mass that provides bank stability and
habitat from the edge of the water throughout the flood plain. The project will
seek to reestablish the riparian flood plain corridor with native forest vegetation
and microtopography The plan will also incorporate the use of stormwater best
management practices, such as level spreaders and pocket wetlands, to attenuate
and treat runoff from the surrounding developed / developing areas. Heavy
equipment may be brought in to aid in restoring natural channel pattern and
profile.

Dear Mr. Dlesk:
Thank you for your letter of July 24, 2006, concerning the above project.
Office of Archives and History
Division of Historical Resources
David Brook, Director
There are no known recorded archaeological sites within the project boundaries. However, the project area
has never been systematically surveyed to determine the location or significance of archaeological resources.
Based on the topographic and hydrological situation, there is a high probability for the presence of prehistoric
or historic archaeological sites.
We recommend that a comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist to identify and
evaluate the significance of archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed
project. Potential effects on unknown resources must be assessed prior to the initiation of construction
activities.
Two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report, as well as one copy of the appropriate site forms,
should be forwarded to us for review and comment as soon as they are available and well in advance of any
construction activities.
A list of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed an interest in contract work in North
Carolina is available at w,.vw. arch .dcr.state.nc.us /consults.ht>n. The archaeologists listed, or any other
experienced archaeologist, may be contacted to conduct the recommended survey.
We have determined that the project as proposed will not affect any historic structures.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.

RE: Lower Creek Stream Restoration Site, Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Cousins:
This correspondence is in response to your letter of August 10, 2006 concerning the referenced stream
restoration proposal. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) is authorized to
comment and make recommendations which relate to the impacts of this project on fish and wildlife
through the Federal License of Water Resource Project Act (Federal Power Act -16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.),
and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661- 667d).
The project is located in the Gamewell community. The stream is indicated to be highly unstable, incised
and straight.
Based on our review, we have not found any federally listed threatened or endangered animal species
indicated for the proposed work area. Accordingly, we have no objections to the proposed restoration
providing that state-of-the-art natural channel design methodologies and autochthonous plants are used
for the project. You should also contact the NC Natural Heritage Program and the US Fish and Wildlife
Service to ascertain that they have no concerns for listed plants and animals under their purview. All
activities must follow US Army Corps of Engineers Permit and NC Division of Water Quality
Certification requirements and any other special conditions specified by the NC Department of
Environment and Natural Resources. Stormwater management should be provided by local authorities to
maintain current hydrographic conditions to prevent future destabilization of the restored stream.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposed restoration site during your early planning
stages. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769 -9453.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Buncick:
Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. is writing this letter on behalf of our client,
NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), to request a no effect
determination from your agency regarding a proposed stream restoration site.
The Lower Creek Stream Restoration Site is located in Caldwell County, North
Carolina, The location map is enclosed. The site is located in an EEP Targeted
Watershed and consists of a highly unstable, incised, and straightened stream
channel.
The project will create stable stream banks and a riffle /pool system, as well as
provide the'opportunity to establish root mass that provides bank stability and
habitat from the edge of the water throughout the flood plain. The project will
seek to reestablish the riparian flood plain corridor with native forest vegetation
and microtopography. The plan will also incorporate the use of stormwater best
management practices, such as level spreaders and pocket wetlands, to attenuate
and treat runoff' from the surrounding developed / developing areas. Heavy
equipment may be brought in to aid in restoring natural channel pattern and
profile.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service database, there are two
endangered species and eighteen federal species of concern potentially occurring
in Caldwell County. The endangered species are the Virginia big -eared bat
(CorynoHrirrus townsendii virginiann5) and Spruce -fir moss spider (Heliantlrres
schweinitzii), The Federal species of'concem follow.
