Dear Mr. Bailey: ARCADIS has performed a stream and wetland delineation at three low impact bridge sites in Rockingham County, NC for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). NCDOT is proposing to replace these bridges. Information for each site, including a brief site description is attached. The three sites are: Rockingham County • Bridge 07 on SR 2427 (Benaja Road) over Benaja Creek (17BP.7.R.100) • Bridge 39 on SR 2316 (Bethany Road) over Jacobs Creek (17BP.7.R.101) . Bridge 283 on SR 2686 (Richardson Drive) over Little Troublesome Creek (17BP.7.R.104) This letter serves as a formal request for a Jurisdictional Determination for each site. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me either by phone or email.

There are one perennial stream and four wetland located in the study area. Benaja Creek (SA) flows roughly east to west across the study area. It has low banks that are well vegetated. WB appears to be an old mill pond. It is separated from SA by a narrow but tall berm. There is also a berm/dam with spillway structure to the east of WB and outside the study area. WC is a large floodplain wetlands. There is more standing water to the south than near SA. WC is another large floodplain wetlands. The online web soil survey shows a quarry/pit in this area. None was identified in the field. WE has standing water throughout. There are several large channels in WE. However, none were flowing and they terminate within WE.

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 U in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stresm under review (e.g., the stream flows &�om a pashue 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. Evaluator's Signature s� •. ' pA� 3, �� .�� T6is channel evaluation form is int nded to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and envi nmental professionals in gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality.
