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 north of Bakersville, NC in Mitchell County adjacent to NC Hwy 226. Dominant landuses in the
general vicinity of the Subject Property includes sparse residential, agricultural (crop /pasture), and undeveloped forest.
The proposed McCurry Stream Restoration Project Site is located along the riparian corridor of Big Rock Creek (river left
& right) and Little Rock Creek (river right). The Subject Properties contain small homesites and auxiliary buildings.
Streambanks at the project site are slightly to moderately eroded in areas. Relatively large areas of deposition
(aggradation) are also found just downstream of eroded areas. Streambank vegetation is generally forested although
non - forested areas generally coincide with erosive streambanks. The topography at the site is gently steep; elevations
on -site range from —2670 to 2333 ft above mean sea level (USGS -Valle Crucis NC Quad).
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
None are present within the project site. The entirety of both properties have not been surveyed for wetlands.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
—2750 Big Rock Creek on Subject Properties, --1500 In ft Little Rock Creek
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The goal of this project is to enhance and restore 1200 In ft of Big Rock and —180 In ft of Little Rock Creek. Restoration
measures include installing natural channel structures, which will enhance riffle -pool sequencing and natural streambank
benches, and planting forested riparian buffer to decrease streambank erosion and shade stream waters.This project is
being partially funded by Western North Carolina Stream Initiative.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Stream restoration work shall begin at the upstream extent of the Big Rock Creek project site. Streambank erosion will
be addressed with a combination of boulder toe wall, toewood, and single wing deflectors from — STA 2 +00 to STA 4 +50
along river left (RL). Just downstream, a rock crossvane shall be installed to address streambank erosion; the installation
of this structure will also enhance pool sequencing in this portion of the reach. The next work area at Big Rock Creek
begins at —STA 10 +00 and ends at — STA 18 +00. Structures proposed in this reach include a rock vane and rock j -hook
in outer bends along RL. Also proposed is removal of a large mid - channel bar and movement of this material to create a
series of single wall deflectors along river right (RR) to encourage low bench deposition. The upstream project site at Big
Rock Creek will be accessed from an established driveway (via NC 226) at the McCurry property. The downstream
project site will be accessed from the McCurry property as well as the Tipton property.
Stream restoration work is proposed in two areas along Little Rock Creek. Single wing deflectors are proposed in both
areas to address eroding RR streambanks. The Little Rock Creek project site will be accessed via the Tipton property
and a temporary stream crossing along Big Rock Creek to a powerline right -of -way along Little Rock Creek RR. A small
gravel access path (T width) leads from the Big Rock Creek to Little Rock Creek project areas, however it is too small to
support restoration equipment and materials.
Following construction, all disturbed areas will be seeded, matted (coconut), and planted with native trees, shrubs, and
herbaceous species in all direct riparian areas (see re- vegetation detail). Proposed excavation equipment includes:
hydraulic thumb trac - hoe(s), and tandem axle road dump truck(s). All heavy equipment will be kept out of the stream
channel during project construction except where absolutely necessary to install boulder structures.

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 stream geomorphology, in- stream structures, and stable
streambanks and benches at Big Rock Creek and Little Rock Creek, while minimizing impacts to aquatic resources. Access
to project sites has been carefully considered to minimize impacts to aquatic resources at the project sites.
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.
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. Streamflow
associated with Big Rock Creek and Little Rock Creek far exceeds 5 cfs therefore pump- around is not feasible. Flow diversion
will be utilized to divert direct flow away from each structure area. Flow diversion will not be performed for work that is done
from the top of bank, or minor placement of structures. 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.

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 fanner/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 program agreements /contracts through USDA/NRCS.
RI will assist the farmer /Iandowner 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 /Iandowner 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, application, contract and /or contract modifications, and appendix for the purpose
of allowing RI to share with RI's other fenders in an effort to help obtain matching
dollars. (Initial /date) C6-M f2, /rs //�
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 farmers/landowners to resolve differences between construction costs
and payment schedule rates.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
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
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
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)
that 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) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

-L ,
This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not
necessarilv been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for
later iurisdictional determinations.

Ms. Carrie Boyd
Brushy Fork Environmental Consulting, Inc.
5902 Highway 421 South
Mountain City, Tennessee 27683
Dear Ms. Boyd:
Subject: Proposed McCurry Site Stream Restoration Project on Big Rock Creek and Little Rock
Creek, northwest of Bakersville, Mitchell County, North Carolina
On July 1, 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 restoration on
about 1,800 linear feet of Big Rock Creek and about 2001f of Little Rock Creek. The project
site is in rural setting with very little riparian buffer existing along the stream. Stream restoration
measures will include natural channel design, in- stream structures, streambed and floodplain
shaping, and riparian corridor planting.
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 (log jam) 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.
