The area has been previ- ously reviewed as an open water pond and marsh. The area is presently saturated with a few open water areas. A majority portion of the area is forested with medium aged trees and dense herbaceous groundcover. Beavers have directly affected this wetland. xii I p,.jeotisite, VMC Rockingham 2015 citytcounty..

[]C Overland flow is severely altered in the assessment area. OD Both overbank4Lnd overiand flow are severely altered in the assessment area. Notes Assessment area occurs upstream of a railroad culvert which has been dammed for many years by beavers creating a semi-permanent impoundment of a perennial stream. The area has been previously reviewed as an open water pond. The area is presently saturated with a few open water areas. A minority portion of the area is forested with medium aged trees around the edges. Ground level herbaceous layer is comprised of marsh species. Beavers have directly affected this wetland.

Channel Sinuosity: Straight X Occasional Bends _Frequent Meander _Very Sinuous Braided Channel 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 tha, 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): 48 Comments: No flow is observed. Flow is Primarily from stormwater runoff.

Channel Sinuosity: Straight X Occasional Bends _Frequent Meander _Very Sinuous _Braided Channel 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): 68 Comments: Evaluator's Signatures =: /1— ,{'°-' v Date August 4, 2014 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 in order 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 05/03 .
