The bridgcs are identified as the followilig State Transportation Itnprovement Projects (STIP): B-5702, B-5699, B-5694, B-5707, and B-5692. NCDOT proposes to replace these bridges under a Programmatic Categorical Exclusion (PCE). The following enclosures for each bridge site are included: completed PJD request form, wetland and stream data forms, vicinity map, project location map, topographic map, and jurisdictional features maps. The project limits have been delineated by Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI), and they will be coordinating with you to arrange for a site inspection. Thank you for your assistance and we look focward to meeting with you onsite. Sincerely, ,�� ���. � �G�..�?� Gordon E.

REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): ❑ Office (Desk) Determination Date: � Field Determination Date(s): 1. The Corps of Engineers believes that� there may be jurisdictiona,l 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 ari approved jurisdictional tletermination (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 verificafion 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 pe�mit) 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 administ�ative 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 G.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 wh�ether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an app�oved 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: � SUPPORTING DATA: Data reviewed for preliminaty JD (check a!I that apply - checked ifems should be included in case file and, where checked and �� uested, appropriately reference sources below): Maps, plans, plots or plat submitted by or on behalf of the applicant/consuitant (� Data sheets prepared/submitted by or an behalf of the applicanticonsultant ❑ Office concurs with data sheets/delineation report. ❑ Office does nat concur with data sheets/delineafion report. ❑ Data sheets prepared bji the Corps: ❑ Corps pavigable waters' study: ❑ U.S, Geological Survey Hydrologic Atlas: ❑ USGS NHD data. , . ❑ USGS 8 and 12 digit HUC maps� [� U.S. Geological Survey map(s).

Assign points to each characteristic within the ran�e 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 �veather 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.
