This project proposes approximately 140 linear (In) ft of culvert pipe at a very incised and
unstable portion of an Un -named Tributary (UT) to the Yadkin River to eliminate pedestrian
safety concerns and provide a stable area for pedestrian travel along Wilkesboro Ave (see
Photosheets). The culvert option has been proposed for this 140 In ft reach given these
concerns, as well as restrictions that the adjacent commercial developments and parking areas
place on sloping and benching activities to stabilize the reach. This project also proposes
approximately 480 In ft of stream enhancement along UT- Yadkin River, downstream of the
culvert pipe outlet, which will stabilize erosive streambanks and re- establish riffle -pool
sequencing, natural channel structures, and riparian forest. This project is being performed for
the Town of North Wilkesboro and Ferrell Gas, LLP., a private natural gas provider, on public and
private property. This project is being funded by a NCDENR Division of Water Resources grant, a
Community Conservation Assistance Program (CCAP) grant administered by Wilkes County Soil
and Water, and private funds from the aforementioned landowners.

Brushy Fork Environmental Consulting will be the authorized agent for this permit application. If
you have any questions give me a call at 423.727.4476.

3. Project Description
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:
The properties are located in Town of North Wilkesboro, NC (TONW) in central Wilkes County. The properties are
located southeast of Wilkesboro Avenue and northwest of the Yadkin River. Dominant landuses in the general vicinity of
the Project Site include commerical and open space (recreational /educational). The Ferrell Gas storefront and tank
storage is located on the Ferrell Gas, LP property. The ABC store and recreational baseball fields are located on the
TONW properties. The UT- Yadkin River bisects the Ferrell Gas and TONW properties flowing southeast to the Yadkin
River. The tributary is primarily fed from urban runoff conveyed through three culverts at the upstream extent of the
project site. From STA 0 +00 to 2 +50, streambanks at the project site are highly eroded and vertical in areas. Little
riparian cover is present and manmade debris, possibly used to try and slow bank sloughing is present. Downstream of
this area, more forested cover is present, but the stream remains incised with streambank erosion and unstable banks in
outer stream bends adjacent to the Ferrell Gas property. Debris and litter were noted throughout as well as algal blooms.
The topography at the site is gently sloping; elevations on -site are -950 - 960 ft above mean sea level (USGS- Wilkes
Quad).
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Approximately 600 In ft of UT- Yadkin River. UT- Yadkin River joins the Yadkin River at the downstream extent of the
project on the Ferrell Gas and TONW properties.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
There are multiple goals associated with the Memorial Park Enhancement Project. First, the TONW and Ferrell Gas are
concerned over eroding and vertical streambanks in the upper project reach that are a saftey concern for Ferrell Gas
customers and TONW pedestrians. A major project goal is to stabilize the upstream extent of the project area by
eliminating steep cut banks through the installation of a stream culvert, and extending a stable grade from Wilkesboro
Avenue to provide grassed pedestrian walkway area to reduce pedestrian traffic onto Wilkesboro Ave at the end of formal
sidewalk at the Ferrell Gas property. Below this culvert area which is tightly constrained between commerical areas, a
large undeveloped portion of the TONW properties is present along river left and provides an opportunity to restore in-
stream structure, floodplain connectivity, and wetland areas at UT- Yadkin River. This coupled stream enhancement and
wetland restoration will more adequately slow and treat stormwater flows from the developed upstream area allowing for
sediment and nutrient export reduction to the Yadkin River at the downstream extent of the project site. This project is
being funded by multiple sources including a NCDENR Division of Water Resource grant, a Community Conservation
Assistance Program (CCAP), and a combination of public (TONW) and private (Ferrell Gas, LP.) funds.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
First, a concrete or brick junction box will be installed at the most upstream extent of the project site. This box will be
connected to existing stormwater culverts currently flowing into the UT- Yadkin River channel. A 60" High Density
Polyethylene (HDPE) culvert pipe will then be installed to carry UT- Yadkin River flows for approximatley 130'. This
culvert will be placed in the existing stream bed intially and slowly shifted towards river left for its length to direct flows
toward the floodplain restoration area at the TONW properties. The 60" culvert will not be buried typ. 1' (per GC 3890)
below the channel bottom due to the lack of sediment transport evidence, the lack of macroinvertebrates, and lack of fish
communities observed on -site during the jurisdictional determination with USACE and NCDENR staff. The UT- Yadkin
River begins where the three culverts confluence, flow is driven by stormwater, and the only sediment transport is minimal
fine silts. The culvert will discharge at approximately STA 1 +30 at a culvert headwall.
Streambank sloping and benching will occur throughout the reach from STA 1 +30 - 6 +11 to restore floodplain connectivity
and decrease erosive incisement of the channel. Low benches along the stream are designed to increase wetland area
and stormflow retention time. Riffle -pool sequencing, natural channel structures (rock cross -vane, boulder toe), and a
forested riparian buffer will also be restored along the reach.
Equipment likely to be used for this proposed construction include track -hoes, skidsteers, and dump trucks for hauling
equipment, building materials, and fill material.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed work and associated impacts are intended to restore instream structure and floodplain connectivity at UT-
Yadkin River along the stream reach while minimizing impacts to aquatic resources. Design measures which minimize impacts
include boulder toe and cross -vane structures intended to enhance stream diversity and decrease erosion and sediment
export. All streambanks will then be planted with appropriate native species (see re -veg detail).
All disturbed buffer areas will be immediately seeded upon completion (temporary - annual ryegrass), matted (coconut/coir
matting), and stabilized at the close of each construction day. Following construction, the banks of the restored channel will be
seeded with a native floodplain mix (permanent seed). Live stakes and matting staples will be used to secure the coconut
matting in these high- stress areas. The forested riparian buffer will be planted with a variety of native 1- gallon, 3- gallon, and B
& B (ball and burlap) trees in September /October.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Streamflow associated with UT- Yadkin River is intermittent and sometimes absent. If flow is present during construction, a 3"
pump will be used to divert flow around the active work area. Specifically during the culvert installation, a temporary channel
shall be constructed at the end of each work day from the culvert outlet (wherever work has ceased) to the existing channel.
As well, boulders shall be placed at that culvert outlet with the top of the rock approxiamtely 3" above culvert invert. This rock
shall be removed at the beginning of each work day. Precautions will be taken to keep heavy equipment out of the stream
channel except where absolutely necessary to install bank stabilization /enhancement measures. Work will be conducted in the
dry to the extent practicable. All heavy equipment will be kept out of the stream channel during project construction except
where absolutely necessary to install in- stream structures. Any entering of the channel or immediate riparian area will be done
with new equipment, no hydraulic leaks tolerated. Disturbance of channel bottom, banks and equipment access areas shall be
held to the minimum necessary to allow for bank stablization sufficient to restore the hydraulic capacity of the stream channel.

2. Non - regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3
Potentially jurisdictional waters and /or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
1 Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
` 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 now at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section IILF.

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 IIIM below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW: Yadkin River.
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 waterbody4 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.l 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.

the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

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:
2. Significant nexus findings for non -RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non -RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. 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:
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:

Dear Ms. Boyd:
Subject: Proposed Memorial Park Enhancement Project, in North Wilkesboro, Wilkes County,
North Carolina
On June 29, 2015, we received (via e -mail) a letter from you in which you requested our review
and comments on the proposed project. We have reviewed the information presented and we are
providing the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661- 667e), and section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) (Act).
According to the information that you presented, your client is proposing stream enhancement on
about 480 linear feet of an un -named tributary to Yadkin River. The project site is in an urban
setting with very little riparian buffer existing along the stream. Stream enhancement measures
will include in- stream structures, streambed and floodplain shaping, and riparian corridor
planting. Some trees will be removed to provide access to the stream and to conduct the
enhancement work.
Endangered Species. According to our records and a review of the information presented, no
listed species or their habitats occur on the site. Therefore, we believe the requirements under
section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Project Recommendations. We have no objection to the proposed actions and support any
efforts to restore and protect the water quality in the project area. Because stream conditions are
least affected where stream banks are stabilized by deep- rooted woody vegetation, stream
restoration efforts should incorporate the use of native vegetation adapted to site conditions.
Biodegradable erosion - control materials should be incorporated into bank restoration design in
order to stabilize soils as vegetation becomes established. Live, dormant stakes (such as black
willow) may be used to reestablish root structure in riparian areas. In areas where banks are
severely undercut, high, and steep, whole tree revetments or rock may be used as a stabilization
treatment (small rock, gravel, sand, and dirt are not recommended due to their erosive nature).
However, it should not extend above the bank -full elevation (the elevation of the channel where

the natural floodplain begins), and deep- rooting woody vegetation should be established along
banks where any channel work is accomplished. Tree and shrub plantings should be spaced at
intervals no greater than 10 feet along banks. We generally recommend that forested riparian
buffers (a minimum 50 feet wide along intermittent streams and 100 feet wide along perennial
streams [or the full extent of the 100 -year floodplain, whichever is greater]) should be created
and /or maintained along all aquatic areas. If these widths are not practicable then we recommend
that the vegetated riparian zone extend at least 25 feet from the stream channel.
Also, the presence of large woody debris is an important aspect of natural stream conditions in
headwater streams. Woody debris, detritus and other vegetative materials are the main source of
nutrients and carbon necessary for primary productivity in these stream ecosystems. Removal of
this material can affect the production of higher trophic levels, specifically in fish. The Service
does not recommend the removal of woody debris within the stream channel or floodplain unless
it is causing a debris blockage (logjam) or will affect the ability to achieve bank stability along a
specific reach of stream.
Erosion Control and Wetland/Stream Protection. We recommend that measures to control
sediment and erosion should be installed before any ground disturbing activities occur. Grading
and backfilling should be minimized, and existing vegetation should be retained (if possible) to
maintain shoreline cover for fish and wildlife. Disturbed areas should be re- vegetated with
native grass and tree species as soon as the project is completed.
Thank you for allowing us to comment on this project. Please contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of
our staff at 828/258 -3939, Ext. 240, if you have any questions. In any future correspondence
concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4 -2 -15 -432.
Sincerely,
