Attached please find an application for a Department of the Army Individual Permit to
construct a 27 lake on Osborne Branch in Transylvania County in association with a
residential subdivision. The proposed lake will function as a fishing/community amenities
lake and support a breeding population of brook trout. The project area is currently
wooded and has one residence within the parcel. Data such as Transylvania County tax
maps, USGS topo-quadrangles, Transylvania County Soil Survey map, and data forms are
included for your reference.
The 500 linear feet of impact at the base of the dam will be completed concurrently with
above the high water mark bank stabilization. The 80 foot tall dam will be constructed
with a 15 foot wide crest and approximately 3:1 side slopes. The channel on the property
to be impacted by the proposed dam is Osborne Branch and its unnamed tributaries. This
channel is in the French Broad River Basin and is classified by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality as Class "C" (Index No. 6-52-2) fresh waters with a primary function of aquatic
life and a secondary function of recreation. Osborne Branch is within the Upper French
Broad 06010105 HUC Code. Osborne Branch is not classified as "trout waters" by the NC
Division of Water Quality.
The applicant proposes to construct the dam in a manner that will maintain cold water base
flow to down stream reaches. The application package includes narratives that describe

Project Purpose, Need, and Overview
Mr. Paul Fletcher and Mr. Robert Johnson of Forge Cove, LLC, the project
proponents, propose to construct a +/- 27 acre private brook trout fishing /
recreation lake for the purpose of providing the residents of the associated
community in Transylvania County a lake where access, use, and quality is not
compromised. The proponents need the lake to provide the central amenity
for the project. The project proponents are also exploring the possibility of
using the lake for a micro-hydro power supply. The lake will provide habitat
for migrating waterfowl, home for amphibians and reptiles, and a breeding
population of brook trout.
It is estimated that the project will generate $150 to $200 million to the
tax base of Transylvania County. It will provide jobs on a local, regional, and
statewide level. Lakefront and lake view home site values nearly double when
compared to home sites without either.
3,040 linear feet of Osborne Branch and 3,515 linear feet of unnamed
tributaries to Osborne Branch will be flooded by the construction of the
dam. The dam itself will be constructed of earthen fill and will impact 500
linear feet of Osborne Branch. 430 linear feet will be necessary for dam
construction and 70 linear feet will be necessary for outlet protection.
The impacted streams will be diverted while the clean fill/pipe is discharged
into the stream to construct the dam. The 500 linear feet of impact at the
base of the dam will be completed concurrently with above the high water
mark bank stabilization. The 80 foot tall dam will be constructed with a 15
foot wide crest and approximately 3:1, side slopes. The trapezoidal base of
the dam is approximately 430 feet. The plunge pool/outlet basin will have a
length of approximately 70 feet.
Channels on the property include Long Branch, Osborne Branch, and their
unnamed tributaries. These channels are located within the French Broad
River Basin and are classified by the N.C. Division of Water Quality as Class
"C" fresh waters with a primary function of aquatic life and a secondary
function of recreation. These waters are not classified as "trout waters" by
the NC Division of Water Quality and were not on a list to be re-classified
when the pre-application meeting took place on September 7, 2005. The
design team has been working since that meeting to address and
accommodate as many of the concerns and issues that were raised as
feasibly possible.
The subject stream for the proposed dam is mapped as Osborne Branch
within the French Broad River Basin; it has approximately 318 acres of
drainage. The subject stream has been assessed by the Army Corps using
the Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet (USACE Wilmington, Version
06/03). Of the four unnamed tributaries of Osborne Branch that will be
flooded by the proposed dam, three can be classified as "good" (based on
stream quality scores of 37, 51, and 51) and one can be classified as "poor"
(based on a stream quality score of 26).
In addition to the Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet, an Aquatic ID
and Data Analysis was completed on samples from 11 different sites by the
Department of Entomology, Soils and Plant Sciences at Clemson University.
According to the analyses. "Based on North Carolina Division of Water
Quality bioassesment criteria, most sites were shown to have EPT taxa
scores of 7-19 and this range was categorized as Poor, Fair, and Good-Fair."
Also, "...most of your sites were shown to have NC Biocriteria Scores ranging
from 3.0-3.5. Streams with Biocriteria Scores in this range are categorized
as 'Good-Fair'." The United States Army Corps of Engineers and the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality accept this method as a valid rating tool.
Although Osborne Branch is not classified as "trout water" by the NC
Division of Water Quality, it was suspected that trout in fact did exist in
Osborne Branch within the property boundary. The North Carolina Wildlife
Resource Commission confirmed that suspicion when they found a small
population of brook trout living in the stream. A brook trout survey was
conducted by the Department of Biology at Western Carolina University.
They found a population of brook trout in Osborne Branch both above and
below the proposed dam site, but not in any of the unnamed tributaries to
Osborne Branch and not a significant distance below the dam. The absence
of brook trout in any of the unnamed tributaries was "attributed to low
water conditions and lack of suitable habitat."
After completing a genetic analysis of the brook trout found in Osborne
Branch, the researchers determined that "the population is of mixed genetic
2
origin" and that "...the stream must have been stocked at some point." Six of
the twenty Brook Trout individuals sampled were of southern origin, and the
remaining fourteen were of mixed genetic origin. No pure northern fish were
present.in the population. Copies of the Brook Trout reports are included
within this package.
The attached Impact Summary Table for streams describes each stream
segment, the impact length, cubic yards of impact (where applicable), the
quality of the stream, the mitigation ratio presented, and the proposed
mitigation. The mitigation ratio is based on Army Corps Stream Quality
Forms and the Bioclassification scores from the aquatic insect survey. A
copy of the Aquatic Insect report is also included within this package.
French Broad River Subbasin 04-03-03
The information in this section comes from the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality Basinwide Planning Program :: April 2005 French Broad
Basinwide Water Quality Plan. The Forge Cove site lies within the 04-03-03
subbasin of the French Broad River Basin. The total area for the subbasin is
141 square miles. The land area is reported as 141 square miles and the
water area is reported as 0 square miles within the subbasin. There is less
than 1% surface water within the subbasin but there is 89% forest/wetland
land cover. Given the fact that this is a mountainous drainage basin it could
be expected that the majority of the 89% is forest land as opposed to
wetland.
The Benthic Community assessment for Boylston Creek is reported as Good-
Fair. The Benthic Community assessment from Osborne Branch that the
Forge Cove consultant team completed included above reported ranges from
Poor to Fair to Good-Fair. The Fish Community assessment for Boylston
Creek is reported as Fair. The plan reports that land use in the surrounding
Boylston Creek watershed is predominantly agricultural and includes row
crops and feedlots. The report plan indicates that severely eroded
streambanks were observed and that the substrate consisted of mostly sand
and gravel which both affect aquatic habitats negatively.
E
The State's plan recommends that local agencies work with the landowners
within the Boylston Creek watershed to assess the need for and prioritize
3
the installation of BMP's to improve riparian zones and restore the
streambanks along Boylston Creek. In summary, the proposed Forge Cove
project, when completed, wi II have more riparian buffer area, more surface
water area, more aquatic habitat, and more Stormwater BMP's than the
majority of the land within the watershed. The consultant team and
developers remain focused on establishing an aquatic habitat for such fish
species as Brook Trout while protecting and preserving a significant portion
of the remainder of the site in open space (over 131 acres).
Mountain Lakes
The North Carolina Division of Environment and Natural Resources water
quality temperature standard for designated trout waters is an upper limit
of 200C. However, Ruane reported in 2002 that in much of the United
States ambient water temperatures often exceed 200C even in natural trout
streams. Studies conducted by Mr. John Boaz of Fish and Wildlife
Associates on the Lakes of Connestee Falls back in 1991 indicated that
during August and September water temperatures from 0' to 22' ranged
from 210C to 250C. The four lakes of Connestee Falls include Lake Atagahi,
Lake Ticoa, Lake Tiaroga, and Lake Wanteska. Lake Atagahi, at an elevation
of 2890 feet, is 80 acres in size and is 59 feet in depth. Lake Ticoa is 75
acres, 92 feet deep, and located at an elevation of 2810 feet. The smallest
of these lakes is Lake Tiaroga at 31 acres. It is 32 feet deep and 2950 feet
above sea level. Lake Wanteska, at 2440 feet in elevation, is 45 acres in
size and 62 feet deep. There are reproducing populations of rainbow trout
in these lakes.
Studies conducted on the seven Tuckasegee River Reservoirs for FERC re-
licensing back in 1999 and 2000 indicated that water temperatures
exceeded 200C within 15' of the surface. These lakes included Lake
Glenville, Little Glenville Lake, Tanasee Lake, Wolf Lake, Bear Lake, Cedar
Cliff Lake, and Dillsboro. The sizes of these lakes ranged from 1444 acres
to 8 acres and the depth ranged from 74' to 1. The elevation ranged from
3491 feet to 1972 feet. These reservoirs have reproducing populations of
rainbow and brown trout.
f
There are two North Carolina lakes that have reproducing populations of
brook trout. These lakes are Grand Mother Lake near Grandfather
4
Mountain and Hurricane Lake near Cashiers. Grand Mother Lake has
reproducing populations of all three species of trout. Both of these lakes
differ in size, depth, and elevation. The design team involved at the Forge
Cove Lake development continues to move forward with the objective of
creating a clear water lake that will provide a safe habitat for brook trout
to survive and reproduce.
Benef its of Forge Cove Lake
The Forge Cove Lake will allow for colder than normal water to be released
out the dam from April to September which will support a better aquatic
habitat downstream for trout in Osborne Branch and Bolyston Creek. A 27
acre lake will also provide beneficial oxygenated water downstream during
periods of drought. Any decrease in the size of the lake will exponentially
decrease the water volume thus decreasing the downstream benefits.
Forge Cove Lake will serve as a large aquatic environment suitable for many
local and migratory animal species. The riparian shoreline will be properly
designed and maintained to be an excellent habitat for a wide variety of
birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. The residents of the Forge Cove
Lake community will enjoy the aesthetics and numerous recreational benefits
of the mountain lake.
Lake Use
Docks - Homeowners will be allowed to construct private floating docks.
Docks shall not exceed 5' in width within the lakeside buffer zones and must
be constructed out of non-toxic materials.
Boats - all boats on the lake will be non-motorized.
Stormwater Management Principles and Strategies
The water resources of Forge Cove provide outstanding recreation amenities
that greatly increase the desirability of the community. From the clear
waters of the lake to the onsite streams and wetlands these high quality
waters play a tremendous role in the sites overall natural beauty and in the
marketability of the project in the future. Much attention and care has
gone into, and continues to go into the planning of Forge Cove to protect its
natural resource amenities. As detailed design of the site and construction
proceeds, continued care must be exercised in managing the stormwater
runoff generated by paved surfaces and rooftops within the community.
Without implementing stormwater infiltration and water quality treatment
measures, there is considerable risk of increased stream erosion, lake
sedimentation and pollution, and habitat degradation. To protect water
resources, the following goals and objectives are established.
Goals:
The goals of managing stormwater at Forge Cove are as follows:
• Safely convey stormwater away from structures and paved surfaces.
• Protect the stream channels of Forge Cove from increased erosion.
Eliminate excessive erosion of the stream channels.
• Protect onsite water quality / Eliminate pollutants, including excessive
sediment, from entering all water bodies.
• Maintain existing groundwater levels.
Objectives:
The objectives by which the following stormwater management goals will be
met are as follows:
• Infiltrate as much stormwater runoff as possible into the ground.
• Remove pollutants from stormwater runoff prior to infiltration or
discharge.
• Stabilize all necessary stormwater outfalls.
The purpose of the Stormwater Management Guidelines is to provide a
collection of measures and techniques that can be implemented in the
various development situations throughout Forge Cove. In addition to a
schematic detail drawing of each measure, the purpose and description, pros
and cons and design considerations are listed. Following the strategies and
constructing the details that make up these guidelines will greatly reduce
the cumulative stormwater impacts of the Forge Cove Community and will
help protect the outstanding natural water resources that make the
community a premier destination property.
The following information 4s applicable to all of the stormwater management
measures and should be taken into account when customizing each measure
to meet the conditions of the individual site.
6
Sizing Criteria
The following are sizing targets for stormwater management measures.
Infiltration Measure Sizing Criteria:
Infiltration measures should be sized to store and infiltrate the net
difference in the pre- vs. post-development storm event with a 2-year
return frequency.
Water Quality Measure Sizing Criteria:
Water quality measures'should be sized to store and treat the first 1" of
runoff from the drainage area. However, when infiltration is a goal of a
water quality measure, it should be sized to treat the greater of the two
target volumes.
Conversion of Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Controls
The most cost-effective and successful installation of permanent
stormwater management measures will occur when typical temporary erosion
and sedimentation controls are converted to permanent measures following
stabilization of the drainage area. In order for this to occur, the temporary
controls must be designed and located with the permanent conversion in
mind. Following are strategies that will aid in successful conversions.
Conveyance Controls (runoff ditches):
• Convert runoff conveyance swales (ditches) to bioswales whenever and
wherever possible.
• Direct runoff from man-made to natural grade as soon as possible.
• Locate runoff conveyance swales (ditches) to allow for the lowest
longitudinal slopes possible (3% being ideal) in order for conversion to
bioswales.
• If 3% slope or less is not possible, layout runoff conveyance swales
(ditches) to allow for longitudinal slopes under 5% in order for
conversion to grass-lined swales.
• Layout conveyance swales to provide space for a buffer strip between
the edge of pavement and the Swale. Optimal width of buffer strip is
10' with a maximum dross slope of 5%. Establish heavy herbaceous
cover in buffer strip.
7
Sediment Controls (traps and basins):
• Convert sediment traps and runoff basins to bioretention depressions,
infiltration basins and filters.
• Install more, smaller traps and basins rather than fewer, larger traps
and basins.
• When excavating for temporary sediment traps and basins, excavate
no closer than 18" above the bottom elevation of the permanent
infiltration measure. This will ensure that the bottom of the
permanent measure is on undisturbed, native soil.
• Do not compact the basin bottom and take great care to minimize
traffic within the basin area during installation.
• Remove and dispose of all sediment within the temporary trap after
construction and stabilization is complete within the drainage area.
• Do not convert the temporary control to a permanent measure until
the entire drainage area is stabilized with 100% vegetative cover on
all exposed soils.
Outlet Protection:
• Use preformed scour holes (Common Stormwater Management) detail
with higher velocity flows.
• Construct level spreaders to maximize for infiltration whenever and
wherever possible.
• Never discharge unfiltered water directly to a water body. Discharge
into a level spreader located outside of the buffer.
Site Protection and Infiltration Requirements
The following are general site protection strategies.
• The closer the site is to a water body, the more critical it is that a
pollutant removing treatment measure be put in place.
• Establish complete vegetative cover on all exposed soil surfaces
immediately.
• In general, runoff should be slowed and spread to the greatest
extent possible.
• Protect stream buffers within construction areas with site protection
fencing. Stream buffers are to be a minimum width of 25' from the
top of each bank. Stream buffers that must be impacted for road
s
crossings should be immediately stabilized and repaired, including soil
stabilization and replanting.
• Do not allow the infiltration resource (the native soil) to be altered in
any way other than means specifically designed to enhance the
permeability of the surface. The most common means by which the
native soil is impacted is by construction traffic and sedimentation.
The native soil at the basin site must be protected the same as
significant existing vegetation is protected. Provide physical
protection measures to ensure protection, construction barrier
fencing for example. Construction controls and protections are
critical to success of infiltration measures.
• Construction sequence is often critical to long-term function of
infiltration measures and must be carefully planned. Two key steps in
all sequences is to expose / excavate down to the surface of the basin
bottom at the very last minute prior to installation of the infiltration
medium and direct stormwater into the installed measure only after
the entire drainage area is completely stabilized with no excess
sediment in the runoff. Initial basin excavation can be carried to
within 1 foot of the final elevation of the basin or gallery floor. The
final excavation should remove all accumulated sediment. Relatively
light tracked equipment should be used in this operation to avoid
compaction.
• Pretreatment of runoff is necessary for all infiltration measures. If,
the drainage area is small and is composed of surfaces that contribute
relatively small amounts of sediment, a modified catch basin with
settling sump can be used. If the drainage area is larger and
composed of surfaces that contribute higher amounts of sediment, a
grassed filter strip, pea gravel diaphragm, vegetated Swale or
vegetated depression can be used for pretreatment.
• The optimal percolation rate for soils beneath an infiltration measure
is between 0.5 inch and 3 inches per hour. However, if space and
budget allow, lower infiltration rates will suffice given adequate
storage.
• Do not locate infiltration practices within 150' of a potable well.
• Maintain a minimum of 2' of cover between the bottom of the
infiltration excavation and the seasonal high water table.
• Consult with local hydro-geotechnical expertise when an infiltration
site is within a ground water contamination-sensitive area.
9
• Discing or spading a 6" layer of organic material into the surface of
the infiltration excavation can increase permeability of the surface.
Examples of organic material for this purpose are leaves, hulls, stems
and mushroom compost.

Planting Strategies for Stormwater Management Measures
Plants play a major role in all of the stormwater measures. At the most
basic, vegetation provides stabilization and erosion control of disturbed
soils. While for some of the water quality and infiltration measures, plants
filter, breakdown and remove pollutants carried by stormwater runoff. In
addition, these plants continuously aerate the soil above some of the
measures, maintaining and enhancing the infiltration capacity of the soil.
Following are guidelines for vegetation establishment when constructing
stormwater management measures at Forge Cove.
The following planting species lists are general and should be modified for
each individual site based on actual moisture conditions, sun-shade conditions
and soil characteristics.

Avoidance and Minimization
The proponent has avoided hard impacts to the greatest extent practicable
by eliminating all stream impacts by the use of bridges, except for the
impact of the dam. The proponent has also proposed to construct the dam
with a low-f low cool-water riser-pipe structure. Impacts requiring
discharges to Waters of the US are limited to the construction of the dam
to create additional Waters of the US. All other access to high ground,
including 10 road crossings, will be completed with spanning structures. The
predominant impacts of the project to streams are secondary in nature
(flooding of Osborne Branch and its unnamed tributaries).
The original site plan' dated July 15, 2005 planned for a 28 acre lake with
fewer area set aside for open space. This site plan designated 58 acres as
open space besides the lake itself. The current site plan allows for over 100
acres of open space besides the lake. There were fifteen infrastructure
piped road crossings that would have resulted in 600 linear feet of stream
impact. There were two driveway piped stream crossings proposed that
would have resulted in an additional 60 linear feet of stream impacts. This
earlier plan showed three houses that would impact additional linear footage
of stream. The lake impacts from the July 15, 2005 plan resulted in 500
linear feet for dam impacts and 6,700 linear feet for flooding impacts.
The proponent considered alternative development concepts and determined
that the uniqueness of the current proposal provided the best potential for
success. Cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed project are
minimized through design considerations, including an engineered low-flow
cool-water discharge orifice.
During the pre-application meeting the possibility of constructing two
smaller ponds were considered but building two dams as opposed to one dam
would increase the hard impacts. The flooding impacts would not change
significantly due to the steepness of the valley. The excessive steep valley
also limits the construction of a lake to the regulated streams. A lake could
not be constructed off-line within this steep valley. The remaining unnamed
tributaries to Osborne Branch have significantly less flow than Osborne
Branch proper.
14
Alternatives Analysis
The proponent researched three other pieces of property as potential
parcels for a lake community. A 1700 acre tract known as Cascade Lake
adjoining Dupont State Forest was considered for purchase by the
proponent. Three of the streams on the Cascade Lake property are
classified as (C, Tr) and East Fork Laurel Creek is classified as (C, Tr,
HQW).
A 180 acre tract known as Shoal Creek Farm was then investigated. The
streams located on this property are classified as follows: Crab Creek is
classified as (C, Tr, HQW) and Shoal Creek is classified as (C). The existing
topography would allow construction of a lake, but its size would limit the
number of residential units to a point that would make lake construction
economically enviable.
A 950 acre tract bordering the Green River Preserve in Cedar Mountain was
then considered. ®f the 3 streams on this tract, all are classified as (WS-
V, 8, Tr) and the unnamed tributaries of the Green River and the South
Prong Green River that are on this property are classified as (B, Tr, HQW).
The layout of this tract does not lend itself to the construction of a single
centrally located lake, but a series of small ponds instead. Our research
showed that the development value associated with the smaller ponds was
inferior to the value of a larger body of water. The construction of multiple
ponds would have much more hard impacts than a single lake.
By comparison of the stream data from the NC Division of Water Quality,
the property at Forge Cove (based upon all relevant published data at the
time) seemed to be the most desirable for a proposed lake development.
The streams on the Forge Cove property have a lower rating than 9 of the 10
streams located on these other three properties, and it was thought that
the proposed lake on Osborne Branch in Forge Cove would have less
environmental impact than a lake on the high quality trout waters within the
other three properties. The property at Cascade Lake was pursued for
purchase as it already had an 80 acre lake on site, but the owner removed
the property from the market. It was at this time that the Forge Cove
property was pursued in earnest.

Mitigation Proposal
Impacts requiring discharges to Waters of the US are limited to the
construction of the dam to create additional Waters of the US. All other
access to high ground, including 10 road crossings, will be completed with
spanning structures (either arched spans or bridges). Please review the
Forge Cove Impact Summary Table in conjunction with the Lake. Impact /
Mitigation Summary Table as well as the information below while considering
the mitigation proposal. By using a mitigation ratio of 2.5:1 for the hard
impacts associated with the construction of the dam and the outlet
protection basin, 1.5:1 for the flooding of Osborne Branch, a 1:1 mitigation
ratio for the flooding of the good and good/fair quality unnamed tributaries
to Osborne Branch and a .5:1 ratio for the flooding of the good/poor and
poor quality unnamed tributary to Osborne Branch, the mitigation offered
for the proposed lake is 8,635 linear feet.

Streams:
On-Site Preservation:
Approximately 13,680 linear feet of streams on site will be preserved for
mitigation credit. At least a 25-foot vegetated buffer will remain along
both sides of all stream segments. The average buffer along the preserved
streams on site is greater than 50 feet with some areas having a buffer of
greater than 500 feet. The mitigation ratio is justified since additional
buffer widths are proposed along the majority of the preserved streams.
On-Site Restoration:
Approximately 985 linear feet of stream will be restored on Long Branch
located on the southern end of the property. Restoration will involve the
removal of 345 linear feet of pipe from Long Branch stream channel and the
removal of any rip-rap from both ends of pipe and relocating the current
road. It will also consist of removing any current road crossings of the pipe
and replacing them with arches or bridges. Several structures at the home
site currently altering the natural streambed will also need to be removed to
allow for unabated stream flow through channel. Aquatic habitat using rock
and large woody debris will be used and riparian buffers will be restored by
the re-vegetation of stream banks after the creek channel has been
reestablished.
Lake Buffer:
The homeowners association will retain ownership of the 25° upland buffer
along the 6,245 linear feet of shoreline. This allows the HOa to protect the
community's greatest asset - the lake. Lake front property owners will be
allowed to apply to the architectural Review Board for the following:
17
1. View Clearing - Vegetation less than 4" in diameter at breast
height may be pruned or removed to provide "windows" to the lake.
2. Private Docks - Floating wooden docks not to exceed 5' width in
the buffer area.
3. Walking Trail - T wide mulched path to the dock
In no case will allowed buffer encroachments be greater than 10% of the
frontage.
Off-Site Restoration.
The remaining linear feet of mitigation will be undertaken offsite. We will
either restore 929 linear feet of degraded stream off site or pay into the
Ecosystem Enhancement Program for 929 linear feet of impact to
compensate for the remainder of stream impacts.
Additional Mitigation Consideration:
The mitigation proposed compensates for the impacts of the proposed lake
impacts. 93% of the impacts (6,555 linear feet) are secondary in nature
resulting from flooding of Osborne Branch and unnamed tributaries. The
stringent Stormwater Management Plan, which is above that which would be
required, should also be considered as a form of mitigation.
Wetlands:
On-Site Preservation.
Approximately .082 acres of wetland will be preserved on site. There are no
impacts associated with wetlands on the Forge Cove property.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 continent 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
