We propose to replace the existing 18'6" timber bridge with an 20' x 5'x 50' concrete box culvert with sills and baffles. Stream slope at the site is L60%. Culvert installation will result in permanent impact to 50 linear feet of Dogback Spring Branch; floodplain bench construction will permanently impact an additional 43 linear feet Temporary impacts to 93 feet of the branch are due to a temporary impervious dike diversion during culvert construction. The stream is approximately ] 0 feet wide with a predominately cobble and boulder substrate. Dogback Spring Branch is classified as Class C, Trout. Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the culvert. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with the project. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams. This project may impact potentially suitable northern long-eared bat (Myods septentrionalrs) (NLGB) sumroer roosting habitat via bridge removal. Therefore, a may affect, not likely to adversely affect is requested for the NLEB. Minor clearing of a couple trees will be perfonned for the project. The existing bridge is constructed of treated timbers. The crown to bed measurement (distance from travel surface to streambed) is 5 feet. Clearance between the bottom of the bridge and the stream surface is approximately 2-3 feet. A survey of the bridge did not reveal any evidence of usage by bats. No effect on the remaining McDowell County list of federally protected species (threatened or endangered) or designated critical habitat will occur.

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 applicanYs acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicab�e; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in re�iance 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 orjudicial 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. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" 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: Signature and date of Regulatory Project Manager (REQUIRED) 0 � � / zs z6/� Si ature an date person requesting preliminary JD (REQUIRED, unless obtaining the signature is impracticable)
