Yes, you would take the dominant branch of the braided system and calculate
its meandering length for your stream channel impact and also include the
area of the wetlands in the braided system for a determination of the total
jurisdictional impact for the system.

Subject: Reid to North Kannapolis impact question
John and Amy,
I hope that you're having a nice afternoon. As I have been sorting through
our Reid to North Kannapolis project information that I sent to you earlier,
I have come across an issue that I believe.may explain our confusion as to a
change in the delineation mapping. I am.attaching a figure which depicts two
locations - on Figure 6E, we stood beside the stream channel and discussed
mitigation for some time (this was the first location we visited after
meeting on the morning of our field visit). I believe that we discussed the
idea that the two stream channels (Streams SH and SI) draining the wetland
area WJ were anabranches of a braided system. If this is the case, it is our
understanding that mitigation is generally .required for the length of one
channel of such a system. Are impacts also calculated by using a single
branch of a system as such? At the time of our field visit, we knew the
lengths of impacts, yet we all left feeling that a NWP 14 would fit the bill.
Inclusion of both of these channels at the current design level potentially
raises our impacts above 300 linear feet for this crossing and into
Individual Permit territory. Please let me know when you might have the
opportunity to discuss this issue.
