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 impacts are required to restore the streambank stability. The intent of the project is to restore the overall stream functions, and thus
design efforts were taken to minimize impacts to the existing channel whenever possible. Construction is only proposed where necessary to avoid
unnecessary impacts. Construction access routes were carefully selected to avoid additional impacts. All disturbed areas will be planted with native
seed, live stakes and bare root seedlings to establish the buffer community upon completion of disturbance.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction practices will follow guidelines from the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. NC Erosion and Sediment
controls will be implemented through the project. Construction actives will be phased so the contractor only disturbs as much as they can stabilize b y
the end of the working day.

Dear Ms. Simone:
Subject: Brasstown Creek Stabilization Project; Clay County, North Carolina
Log No. 4-2-16-384
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) reviewed the information provided in your letter
received via email on April 28, 2016. We provide the following comments in accordance with
the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the
National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
According to the information provided in your correspondence, you intend to submit a permit
application to the USACE to stabilize riparian stream bank habitat along approximately 1,950
linear feet of Brasstown Creek near Brasstown in Clay County, North Carolina. Stabilization
measures would include tree and shrub planting, mulching, and channel bed stabilization.
Federally Protected Species
Your correspondence included an effects determination for all the federally protected species
known to occur in Clay County. Due to the apparent lack of suitable habitat and occurrences for
these species within the project area, you determined that the proposed project will have no
effect on federally protected species. Therefore, we consider consultation to be complete at this
time. However, please be aware that 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.
According to Service records, the proposed project could impact habitats for a federal species of
concern, the hellbender salamander (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis); and a candidate species,

sicklefin redhorse (Moxostoma sp. 1). Both of these animals have been documented from the
Brasstown Creek as recently as 2014. The sicklefin redhorse spawns from approximately
February — April, when the water reaches 10-12 degrees Celsius. Hellbenders mate in the fall
from approximately September — November. We encourage you to avoid construction activities
that may affect aquatic habitats during these times to reduce the probability of impacting these
imperiled species. While these species are currently afforded no legal protection under the Act,
incorporating measures to reduce impacts to these taxa may preclude the need to list them in the
future.
In the interest of minimizing potential impacts to these and other natural resources we request
that you incorporate the following measures into your project design and construction plan:
Stream Channel and Bank Reconstruction/Restoration Activities
A natural, stable stream system is one that is able to transport a wide range of flows and
associated bed load (sediment) while maintaining channel features that neither degrade
(accelerate the erosion of banks and scour of the channel bed) nor aggrade (accelerate the
deposition of sediment within the channel). Alterations to the dimension (cross-sectional view of
the channel), pattern (the sinuosity of the channel), or profile (longitudinal slope) of the stream
channel as well as changes to streambank vegetation, floodplains, hydrology, or sediment input
can significantly alter this equilibrium. The majority of property damage associated with flood
events in areas that contain, or are adjacent to, streams often can be tied to human -caused
alterations within the stream corridor, such as the removal of streambank vegetation,
channelization, and/or dredging of the stream and the placement of fill within floodplains.
Accordingly, we recommend the following:
1. Only the absolute minimum amount of work should be done within stream channels to
accomplish necessary reconstruction. The amount of disturbance to in -stream and
riparian areas should not exceed what can be stabilized by the end of the workday.
Restoration plans should account for the constraints of the site and the opportunities to
improve stream pattern, dimension, and profile with minimal disturbance.
2. All reconstruction work should follow natural channel design methodologies that are
based on the bank -full, or channel -forming, stage of the stream. Bank -full stage
maintains the natural channel dimensions and transports the bulk of sediment over time
(Doll et al. 2003). Natural channel conditions should be identified using a reference
reach (nearby stream reaches that exemplify restoration goals). Restoration design
should match the pattern, dimension, and profile of the reference reach to ensure the
project's success. The Service is available to assist with the identification of reference
reaches.
3. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area and/or
should coincide with low water events to the extent possible. Sandbags, cofferdams,
bladder dams, or other diversion structures should be used to prevent excavation in
flowing water. These diversion structures should be removed as soon as the work area is
stable. When practical, a pump -around operation shall be used to divert flow during
construction.

4. Equipment should not be operated in the stream unless absolutely necessary. Machinery
should be operated from the banks in a fashion that minimizes disturbance to woody
vegetation. Equipment should be: (a) washed to remove any contaminant residue or
invasive plant material prior to project construction, (b) in good working order, and
(c) checked to ensure there are no leaks of potential contaminants (such as oil or other
lubricants) prior to and during construction. Fueling should occur at a location at least
100 feet from surface waters, and an emergency spill response plan should be established
an implemented if necessary.
5. Streambanks with deep-rooted woody vegetation are the most stable, and stream
restoration efforts should incorporate the use of native vegetation adapted to the site
conditions. Biodegradable erosion -control materials may 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
revetment or rock may be used as a stabilization treatment (small rock, gravel, sand, and
dirt are not recommended due to their erosive nature), and it should not extend above the
bank -full elevation (the elevation of the channel where the natural floodplain begins).
Deep -rooting woody vegetation should be established along banks where any charnel
work is accomplished. Tree and shrub plantings should be spaced at intervals no greater
than 10 feet along banks. Vegetated riparian zone widths should be as wide as practical
but should extend at least 30 feet from the stream channel.
6. Adequate measures to control sediment and erosion must be implemented prior to any
ground -disturbing activities in order to minimize effects on downstream aquatic
resources. All equipment and materials necessary for stabilization work should be
mobilized before beginning any stream work. In North Carolina, non -cohesive and
erosion -prone soils are most common in the felsic-crystalline terrains of the mountain and
upper piedmont regions (Miller and Kochel 2010). Therefore, reconstruction work
should be staged such that disturbed areas would be stabilized with seeding, mulch,
and/or biodegradable (coir) erosion -control matting prior to the end of each workday. No
erosion -control matting or blankets should contain synthetic (netting) materials. Matting
should be secured in place with staples; stakes; or, wherever possible, live stakes of
native trees. If rain is expected prior to temporary seed establishment, additional
measures should be implemented to protect water quality along slopes and overburden
stockpiles (for example, stockpiles may be covered with plastic or other geotextile
material).
7. The presence of large woody debris is an important aspect of natural stream conditions in
the Southern Appalachians. Woody debris, detritus, and other vegetative materials are
the main sources of nutrients and carbon necessary for primary productivity in stream
ecosystems. Removal of this material can impact the production of higher trophic levels,
including fish. The Service does not recommend the removal of woody debris (especially
embedded woody debris) within the stream channel or floodplain unless it is causing a
debris blockage (logjam) or will affect the ability to achieve bank stability along a

specific reach of stream. Woody debris that must be removed should be chipped on the
site.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project and supports its restoration
objectives. Please contact Mr. Byron Hamstead of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 225, if you
have any questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference our

Subject: Streambank Stabilization Project in Clay County
Dear Ms. Buncick,
April 28, 2016
Michael Baker Engineering is working with the Resource Institute on a streambank
stabilization project in. Clay County (see enclosed vicinity map). The project is funded
through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The proposed project will
stabilize approximately 1,950 linear feet (LF) of Brasstown Creek. The project will include
riparian buffer installation along approximately 801 feet of the stream, and streambank
protection/channel stabilization of approximately 600 LF of stream, as shown in the
enclosed project area map.
We are requesting your input as we develop the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) form
pursuant to obtaining the Nationwide 13 Permit for both the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources (DWR) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), as
required under Sections 401/404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).
To assist you in your review, we have attached:
• Vicinity Map
• Project Map showing proposed work on aerials.
As shown in the evaluation below, the project is anticipated to have No Effect on federally
protected species listed for Clay County.

Bog turtle
USFWS optimal survey window: April 1 — October 1 (visual surveys); April 1 -June 15
(optimal for breeding/nesting); May 1 -June 30 (trapping surveys)
Habitat Description: Bog turtle habitat consists of open, groundwater supplied (spring -fed),
graminoid dominated wetlands along riparian corridors or on seepage slopes. These habitats
are designated as mountain bogs by the NCNHP, but they are technically poor, moderate, or
rich fens that may be associated with wet pastures and old drainage ditches that have
saturated muddy substrates with open canopies. Plants found in bog turtle habitat include
sedges, rushes, marsh ferns, herbs, shrubs (tag alder, hardhack, blueberry, etc.), and wetland
tree species (red maple and silky willow). These habitats often support sphagnum moss and
may contain carnivorous plants (sundews and pitcher plants) and rare orchids. Potential
habitats may be found in western Piedmont and Mountain counties from 700 to 4,500 feet
elevation in North Carolina. Soil types (poorly drained silt loams) from which bog turtle
habitats have been found include Arkaqua, Chewacla, Dellwood, Codorus complex,
Hatboro, Nikwasi, Potomac — Iotla complex, Reddies, Rosman, Tate — Cullowhee complex,
Toxaway, Tuckasegee — Cullasaja complex, Tusquitee, Watauga, and Wehadkee.
Biological Conclusion: Not Required
Species listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance do not require Section 7
consultation with the USFWS. However, this project is not expected to affect the bog turtle
because mountain bog habitat is not present within the study area. A review of the Natural
Heritage database, conducted on April 15, 2016 indicates no known bog turtle occurrences
within 2.0 mile of the study area.
Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Bald eagle)
Adult bald eagles can be identified by their large white head and short white tail. The body
plumage is dark -brown to chocolate -brown in color. In flight, bald eagles can be identified
by their flat wing soar. Eagle nests are found in close proximity to water (within 0.5 mile)
with a clear flight path to the water, in the largest living tree in an area, and having an open
view of the surrounding land.
Human disturbance can cause an eagle to abandon otherwise suitable habitat. The breeding
season for the bald eagle begins in December or January. Fish are the major food source for
bald eagles. Other sources include coots, herons, and wounded ducks. Food may be live or
carrion.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
A review of the Natural Heritage database, conducted on April 15, 2016 indicates no known
bald eagle occurrences within 2.0 mile of the study area. A desktop -GIS assessment of the
project study area, as well as the area within a 2 -mile radius of the project limits, was

performed on April 26, 2016 using Google Earth color aerials. No large, open water bodies
were located within three miles of the project area. Due to the distance to potential habitat,
the project is anticipated to have No Effect on this species.
Rock Gnome Lichen
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: year round
Habitat Description: Rock gnome lichen occurs in high elevation coniferous forests
(particularly those dominated by red spruce and Fraser fir) usually on rocky outcrop or cliff
habitats. This squamulose lichen only grows in areas with a great deal of humidity, such as
high elevations greater than 5,000 feet AMSL where there is often fog, or on boulders and
large outcrops in deep river gorges at lower elevations. Habitat is primarily limited to
vertical rock faces where seepage water from forest soils above flows only at very wet
times. The species requires a moderate amount of sunlight, but cannot tolerate high-intensity
solar radiation. The lichen does well on moist, generally open sites with northern exposures,
but requires at least partial canopy coverage on southern or western aspects because of its
intolerance to high solar radiation.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Elevations within the study area are approximately 1,650 feet AMSL and do not contain the
high elevation rock face habitat preferred by rock gnome lichen. A review of NCNHP
records, conducted on April 15, 2016, does not indicate known rock gnome lichen
occurrence within 2.0 miles of the study area. Therefore, since habitat is not present, No
Effect to rock gnome lichen is anticipated to occur as a result of the proposed project.
Indiana Bat
The Indiana bat is a medium-sized bat, with a forearm length of 1.4 — 1.6 inches (in) (3.6 —
4.1 centimeters; cm). The head and body length ranges from 1.6 — 1.9 in (4.1 — 4.8 cm). The
species closely resembles the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) and the Northern long-
eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). Its hind feet tend to be small and delicate with fewer,
shorter hairs than other bats of the Myotis genus. The fur lacks luster. The ears and wing
membranes have a dull appearance and flat coloration that does not contrast with the fur.
The fur of the chest and belly is lighter than the pinkish -brown fur on the back, but does not
contrast as strongly as does that of the little brown or northern long-eared bats.
Indiana bats winter in eaves or mines with stable, but not freezing, cold temperatures. In
summer they generally roost in the loose bark of trees, either dead trees with peeling bark,
or live trees with shaggy bark, such as white oak and some hickories. The species has not
been found in Clay County, but is known to occur in the adjacent county (Cherokee).
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
A review of the Natural Heritage database, conducted on April 15, 2016 indicates no known
Indiana bat occurrences within 2.0 mile of the study area. There were no shagbark hickory
or similar type trees in the construction area. The project design has minimized tree clearing,
with all larger trees having been surveyed to avoid impacts wherever possible. The

conservation easement being placed around the project currently contains a significant
amount of open land, which will be replanted with native species, ultimately increasing the
forested acreage along the creek. There are no abandoned buildings or man-made structures
located on the project site that might be attractive to bats as summer roosting habitat.
Therefore, the project is anticipated to have No Effect on the Indiana bat.
Northern Long -Eared Bat
USFWS optimal survey window: June 1- August 15
Habitat Description: In North Carolina, the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the
mountains, with scattered records in the Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North
Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. Since this species is not
known to be a long-distance migrant, and caves and subterranean mines are known in this
area, it is not anticipated to be an issue with this project. During the summer, NLEB roost
singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees
(typically >3 inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost in cooler
places, like caves and mines. This bat also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like
barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and in bat
houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over forest
clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature forests may be an important
habitat type for foraging.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
A review of the Natural Heritage database, conducted on April 15, 2016 indicates no known
Northern long-eared bat occurrences within 2.0 mile of the study area. There were no
shagbark hickory or similar type trees in the construction area. The project design has
minimized tree clearing, with all larger trees having been surveyed to avoid impacts
wherever possible. The conservation easement being placed around the project currently
contains a significant amount of open land, which will be replanted with native species,
ultimately increasing the forested habitat. There are no abandoned buildings or man-made
structures in the study area that might be attractive to bats as summer roosting habitat.
Therefore, the project is anticipated to have No Effect on the Northern long-eared bat.
Green Pitcher Plant
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: April -October
Habitat Description: Green pitcher plant is a carnivorous perennial herb with yellowish -
green, hollow, pitcher -shaped leaves. The hollow leaves contain liquid and enzymes. When
insects fall into the pitchers, they're digested and the nutrients in the bodies are incorporated
into the plant's tissues. The green pitcher plant's unusual yellow flowers appear from mid-
April to early June and are borne singly on long stems. Flowering plants grow up to 28
inches tall. The rhizomes of this species are extremely long-lived (decades), so natural
mortality is low. Green pitcher plants are pollinated by queen bumblebees, and since
bumblebees have a flight radius of no more than one mile, most green pitcher plan
populations are essentially genetically isolated by distance. Changes in flowering and
growth appear to be related primarily to weather conditions, particularly rainfall. Seedlings

require high soil moisture, open mineral soil, and high light intensity for growth during the
first year. These conditions are not met at most sites due to past hydrological alterations,
which have made the soils unnaturally dry, and the absence of fire, which has allowed other
plants to encroach upon and shade out habitat..
Biological Conclusion: May Affect, but Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Since the potential habitat in the form of boggy soils are not present within the study area,
surveys for the species are not required. A review of the Natural Heritage database,
conducted on April 15, 2016 indicates no known Green pitcher plant occurrences within 2.0
mile of the study area. Therefore, since suitable habitat is not present within the study area,
the proposed project will have No Effect on the green pitcher plant.

construction, including any new stock waterlines crossing the project area.
3. A gravel "construction entrance" that consists of class A stone, at least 50 feet in length, shall
be incorporated into every access point that connects to a public road.
4. Construction will proceed upstream to downstream.
5. The limited clearing and grubbing required within the grading limits shall be performed so as
to limit sediment migration off-site. Logs and rootwads from trees larger than 10 inches in
diameter shall be stockpiled for use as in -stream structures. Salvageable native vegetation
(black willow, tag alder, silky dogwood, etc.) shall be harvested for transplanting or for
cutting and live -staking materials.
6. Earthwork shall be staged such that no more channel will be disturbed than can be stabilized
by the end of the work day.
7. Excess soil materials shall be stockpiled in designated staging and stockpile areas, with silt
fence installed on the streamside(s) of the base of the stockpiles and maintained when
sediment has accumulated above one third of the height of the silt fence and/or the silt fence
has failed. Excess soil shall be hauled outside the conservation easement before
demobilization.
8. Bank and floodplain vegetation, including brush materials and live stakes, are preferably
installed during the dormant season (November to May).
9. Staging and stockpile areas, and silt fences shall be removed and the ground shall be repaired
to stable conditions once planting is complete or once they are no longer needed.
10. The contractor shall ensure that the project is free of trash and leftover materials prior to
demobilization of equipment from the site.
