The objective for this mitigation site is to restore and design natural waterways through
Lafayette, LA
stream/wetland complexes with appropriate cross-sectional dimension and slope that will provide
70508
function and meet the appropriate success criteria for the existing streams. Accomplishing this
1371/2 East Main St.
objective entails the restoration of natural stream characteristics, such as stable cross sections,
Suite 210
planform, and in -stream habitat. The floodplain areas will be hydrologically reconnected to the
Oak Hill, WV
channels where feasible to provide natural exchange and storage during flooding events.

Wetland impacts associated with restoration efforts occurring adjacent to the existing wetlands will be minimized by the restoration plan. Creating a
new stream channel and enhancing existing channels will only impact wetlands slightly and will provide an overall increase in wetland function with the
addition of native trees and shrubs along the stream banks. Construction in these areas will remove the invasive species.

3a. Describe the existiniz conditions on the site and the zeneral land use in the vicinity of the proiect at the
time of this application:
The Selma Mill Stream Mitigation Project is located within an agricultural watershed in Johnston County, North
Carolina, immediately North of Selma. The project is located within the Neuse River Basin (8 -digit USGS HUC
03020201, 14 -digit USGS HUC 03020201100050 (USGS, 2012) and the NCDWQ Cape Fear 03-04-02 sub -
basin (NCDWQ, 2002). The 2010 Neuse River Basin Plan identified HUC 03020201100050 as a Targeted
Local Watershed. The watershed is characterized by 37 percent agricultural land use area, including thirteen
animal operations. Approximately 52 percent of the area is developed with roughly 35 percent impervious total.
The site consists of agricultural fields, cattle pastures and wooded areas. The total easement area is 34.2 acres.
The wooded areas along the easement corridor designated for restoration activities are classified as mixed pines
and hardwoods. Invasive species are present throughout the wooded areas. Channels proposed for restoration
are degraded to a point where they no longer access their floodplain, lack riparian buffers, allow livestock
access, and aquatic life is not supported. Little aquatic habitat is available to support aquatic life.
The project area is comprised of a contiguous easement area along three tributaries that flow into Mill Creek.
The easement is separated by a crossing at NC Hwy 96, one agricultural crossing, and two co -located utility
crossings. The western portion of the project originates at the intersection of Hwy 96 and West Chestnut Street
and includes Reach Al, Reach A2, and Reach B3. The eastern portion of the project originates in the
agricultural field to the east of Hwy 96 and includes Reach B1, Reach B2, and Reach C. Wetland delineations 5

PCN Narrative- Selma Stream Mitigation Project
identified four riparian wetlands in the project area. John Thomas, USACE, performed a JD site visit on May
18, 2016.
The Selma project consists of stream restoration and enhancement on tributaries that drain directly to Mill
Creek. The project presents 7,115 linear feet of Stream Restoration.
3d. Explain the Purpose of the proposed proiect.
The objective for this restoration project is to restore and design natural waterways through stream/wetland
complexes with appropriate cross-sectional dimension and slope that will provide function and meet the
appropriate success criteria for the existing streams. Accomplishing this objective entails the restoration of
natural stream characteristics, such as stable cross sections, planform, and in -stream habitat. The floodplain
areas will be hydrologically reconnected to the channel to provide natural exchange and storage during flooding
events. The design will be based on reference conditions, USACE guidance (USACE, 2005), and criteria that
are developed during this project to achieve success. Additional project objectives, such as restoring the riparian
buffer with native vegetation, ensuring hydraulic stability, and eradicating invasive species.
3e. Describe the overall proiect in detail, including the type of equipment to be used.
The design approach for the Selma Mill Site is to combine the analog method of natural channel design with
analytical methods to evaluate stream flows and hydraulic performance of the channel and floodplain. The
analog method involves the use of a "template" stream adjacent to, nearby, or previously in the same location as
the design reach. The template parameters of the analog reach are replicated to create the features of the design
reach. The analog approach is useful when watershed and boundary conditions are similar between the design
and analog reaches. Hydraulic geometry was developed using analytical methods in an effort to identify the
design discharge.
The Selma Mill Site will include Priority Level 1 and 2 restoration and headwater valley restoration. Priority 1
and 2 restoration reaches will incorporate the design of a single -thread meandering channel, with parameters
based on data taken from the reference site, published empirical relationships, NC Coastal Plain Regional
Curves, and hydrologic and hydraulic analyses. Headwater valley restoration will follow current regulatory
guidance and published research.
A combination of Priority 1 and 2 restoration is proposed for Reach A to address existing impairments,
particularly the channelized and oversized channel and lack of bedform diversity. The design approach will
include constructing a meandering channel within the natural valley, excavating a floodplain bench at the
elevation of the proposed channel, and backfilling the existing stream. The watershed that drains to the upper
end of the project is approximately 260 acres, and land use is primarily residential. Runoff from the watershed
is conveyed through a closed system that outfalls through multiple RCP pipes just downstream of the
intersection of W Chestnut St and Hwy 96. The primary 72 -inch stormwater pipe has the lowest invert elevation
of the existing pipes, and therefore controls the upstream elevation of the project. Since the pipe invert elevation
is at a minimum of 6 feet below existing ground surface, Priority 1 restoration is not possible. If the proposed
channel bed were to be raised, the increase in water surface elevations would result in hydrologic trespass on
properties upstream. The design approach will include constructing a meandering channel within the natural
valley, excavating a floodplain bench at the elevation of the proposed channel, and backfilling the existing
stream. Priority 1 Restoration is proposed for the reach downstream of the easement break. The existing ditch
will be backfilled, and the channel will be relocated such that it meanders within the existing valley to the east.
A combination of Priority 1 and 2 restoration is proposed for Reach B to address existing impairments,
particularly the channelized and oversized channel and lack of bedform diversity. Priority 1 restoration is not
possible along the upper end of this reach due to elevation constraints at the culverts under Pollock Street

PCN Narrative- Selma Stream Mitigation Project
(HWY 301). If the proposed channel bed were to be raised, the increase in water surface elevations would
result in hydrologic trespass on properties upstream of Pollock St. The design approach will include meandering
the proposed channel within the natural valley, excavating a floodplain bench, and backfilling the existing
stream. Headwater valley restoration is proposed for Reach C. The construction of a depressional area just
upstream of Reach C is proposed to provide a hydrologic connection between the reach and an existing wetland
located north and east of the farm pond. Currently, the flowpath from the wetland is blocked by both a farm
path associated with the pond and a small berm located along the existing tree line. Restoration will involve
redirecting channel flow to the natural valley, plugging and backfilling the existing ditch such that cut and fill is
balanced, and planting the buffer with native vegetation.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing proiect.
Due to the nature of this project, complete avoidance is not possible. Both stream and wetland impacts were
considered when designing the Selma Mill project. This project should uplift the ecological quality of streams
and wetlands on site. The existing channel length is 5,775 LF with two stream crossings. The proposed project
will result in 6,771 LF of stream with three stream crossings.

Ib. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts throu,-h construction
techniques:
Impacts are minimized using a staged construction approach. Where possible the channel will be constructed
prior to turning stream flow into a segment. This approach allows minimization of the impact of each stage
during the project construction. Additionally all work in wetlands and streams will be conducted during dry
conditions and/or with mats to protect soil structure. Efforts will be made to preserve individual high value
trees located within the stream restoration area.

1. 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 pen -nit 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

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 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 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 "maybe" 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:
