1. The Corps of Engineers belie�es 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 ad�ised of his or her option to
request and abtain an approved jurisdictional determination {JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant ar other person who requested this
preliminary JD F�as declined ta exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. ln any circumstanoe where a permit applicant obtains an indi�idual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit {NWP) or other general permit verificafion requiring
"pre-consfructian not�icationp (PCN), or requests �erification for a non-reparting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
appro�ed JD for the activity, fhe permit applicant is hereby made aware af the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a�ermit aut#�arization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) tha# the applicant has the option to request an appro�ed
JD before accepting the terms and conditians of the permit auihorization, and
that basing a permit au#horization on an approved JD oould possibly result in less
com�ensatory mitigation being �equired or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to re�uest an incfividual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other generai �ermit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit autharization a�d ti�ereby agree to comply
with ail the terms and c�ondi�ions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined ta be necessary; (5} that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an appro�ed JD constitutes the applicant's acce�tanoe of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form af JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6} acceptir�g a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in relianoe on any form af Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreemen# that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by tha# acti�ity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrati�e or judicial oompliance ar enforcement
action, or in any adrr�inistrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applEcant elects to use either an approved JD or a prefiminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Fu�ther, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), ar �ndividual
permit denial can be administrati�ely appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 339,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues car� be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)}. If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official deterrnination whether CWA jurisdictio�r exists aver a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD #o accamplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may beu 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:

Instructions for completion of worl�sheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecaregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characte�isdc 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. Scares 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 st�-eam flows fi-om a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display mare continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The tota] score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
ToYal Score (from reverse): 90 Comments:

This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in
gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream
quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to DSACE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change—version 06/03. To Comment, please call 919-876-8441 x 26.

Instructions for completion of worl�sheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecaregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characte�isdc 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. Scares 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 st�-eam flows fi-om a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display mare continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The tota] score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
