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. 7

This-channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and enviroamental 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 USACE 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.

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.

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 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 permit) 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 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
"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:
