RE: Nationwide 27 Permit Application- Uzzle Mitigation Site
Dear Ms.Dailey,
Resource Environmental Solutions is pleased to submit a Nationwide Permit 27 Pre-Construction
Notification (PCN) for the Uzzle Stream Mitigation Site (“Site”). The Site is located within a primarily
rural watershed with limited residential development in Johnston County, North Carolina, about six miles
southeast of Clayton. The Site area exhibits reduced hydrology and habitat value as a result of past and on-
going agricultural activities. The Site will involve the restoration and enhancement of streams in the Neuse
River basin. The Site has been designed in concurrence with the Uzzle Riparian Buffer Mitigation Bank.
The objective for this mitigation project is to restore and design natural waterways through stream
complexes with appropriate cross-sectional dimension and slope that will provide function and meet the
appropriate success criteria agreed upon in the mitigation plan. 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. Total wetland impacts resulting from the proposed project are 1.1 acres.
Total stream impacts resulting from the proposed project are 806 linear feet.
The attached PCN package includes PCN Form, PCN supplemental information, supporting figures, an
updated JD with an updated aquatic resource inventory table and Waters of the US Map.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important project. Please contact me at 919-209-1056 or
[e-mail] if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Sincerely yours,
Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC

Impact is due to the the addition of a ford crossing and the relocation of Reach LP1 to the natural valley which will provide a net gain in ecological
function to the stream and wetland system. Restoration is to address channel degradation and bank erosion caused by cattle access and high energy
storm flows from the upstream channel. Design includes meandering the proposed channel within the natural valley, aligning the channel with the
upstream culvert, backfilling the existing stream, reconnecting the channel to its floodplain, and livestock removal.

PCN Supplemental Information-Uzzle Stream Mitigation Project

B. Project Information and Prior Project History
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of
the project at the time of this application:
The Uzzle Mitigation Site is a stream and buffer project located within a primarily rural watershed
with limited residential development in Johnston County, North Carolina. The Site is located within
the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201) and the Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) Poplar Creek
(HUC 03020201100040) that exhibits both the need and opportunity for stream and riparian buffer
restoration. The Poplar Creek TLW encompasses 11 square miles of watershed area. Within the
1,312 acre drainage area of the project, the primary land use consists of approximately 49 percent
forest, 28 percent agricultural land, 16 percent residential, and approximately six percent of the
total watershed is impervious surface.
The project area is comprised of two sections of easement, totaling 27.3 acres and a total of 6,034
existing linear feet of stream, and is made up of Little Poplar Creek (LP1, LP2, LP4, LP5, and
LP7) and two unnamed tributaries (LP3 and LP6) that ultimately drain to Poplar Creek, a direct
tributary to the Neuse River. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National
Wetland Inventory Map depicts one large wetland area that encompasses the majority of the
easement. This wetland area is mapped as PFO1A, Palustrine Forested Broad-Leaved
Deciduous Temporary Flooded.
The project is divided into a northern and southern portion, divided by a crossing. The northern
portion of the project includes the proposed stream reach LP1, LP2, LP3, LP4, and LP5. The
southern portion of the project includes a portion of LP5, LP6, LP7. Wetland A, a Riverine Swamp
Forest, is found within the floodplain along both banks of Little Poplar Creek for the entirety of
the Site as well as outside of the easement area, and is impacted by cattle access throughout.
Wetland A within the easement boundary is approximately 21.03 acres in size, and the vegetation
is predominantly white oak, water oak, American holly (Ilex opaca), red maple, tulip poplar,
sweetgum, loblolly pine, blackberry, Nepalese browntop, dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium),
partridgeberry (Mitchella repens), roundleaf greenbrier, and muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia).
In general, all or portions of reaches within the Site, do not function to their full potential. Current
conditions demonstrate significant habitat degradation as a result of impacts from livestock and
high storm flows from the upstream culvert. These impacts have dislocated some of the stream
from its floodplain and created poorly functioning overflow “channels.” Floodplain canopy along
the reach is fair; however, livestock have prevented understory vegetative growth, caused
localized areas of erosion, and are a constant source of nutrients to the stream.

PCN Supplemental Information-Uzzle Stream Mitigation Project

3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The objective for this stream mitigation project is to restore and enhance design natural
waterways with the 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, and criteria that are developed during this project to achieve
success. Additional project objectives include restoring the riparian buffer with native vegetation,
ensuring hydraulic stability, livestock exclusion, and treating invasive species.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The Uzzle Mitigation Site will include Priority I Restoration and Enhancement Level II. Restoration
is proposed along LP1. Restoration reaches will typically include a meandering single-thread
stream pattern constructed to mimic the natural planform of a low-gradient, sand/gravel bed
channel. Proposed sinuosity will depend on local reference reach conditions and hydrologic and
hydraulic modeling. As a result of the restoration, periodic flooding and enhanced riparian buffer
will provide the appropriate hydrology and sediment transport throughout the project.
Enhancement Level II is proposed for LP2, LP3, LP4, LP5, LP6, and LP7, which includes livestock
exclusion and minor bank stabilization.
Engineering analyses were performed using various hydrologic and hydraulic models to verify the
reference reach based design. A combination of methods (including Hydraflow Hydrographs,
regional curves and flood frequency analysis) were used to calculate flows received by the
channel for bankfull and other significant storm events. Through this hydrologic analysis, the
design discharge (typically referenced as bankfull or dominant discharge) was determined, and
the subsequent design was based on this calculated discharge. Design parameters developed
through the analyses of reference reach data and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling were
confirmed using the Stable Channel Design function components within HEC-RAS and through
spreadsheet tools.
Engineering analyses were performed concurrently to geomorphic and habitat studies. While the
stream design was verified by simulations of hydrology and fluvial processes, analogs of desirable
habitat features were derived from reference sites and integrated into the project design. Both
riparian habitat features and in-stream structures such as log grade controls, brush toes, log
vanes, log toes, log drops were used throughout the project to act as grade control and for bank
stabilization by dissipating and redirecting the stream’s energy. Bank stability will also be
enhanced through the installation of live stakes that include native species (e.g. black willow (Salix
nigra) and silky dogwood (Cornus amomum).
Priority I Restoration is proposed along Reach LP1 to address channel degradation and bank
erosion caused by cattle access and high energy storm flows from the upstream culvert. The
design approach will including meandering the proposed channel within the natural valley,
aligning the channel with the upstream culvert, backfilling the existing stream, reconnecting the
channel to its floodplain, and excluding livestock from the stream. A minimum 50-foot buffer will
be established and planted with native riparian vegetation. Woody debris and grade control
structures will be installed along the bed to improve in-stream habitat and stability. The watershed
PCN Supplemental Information-Uzzle Stream Mitigation Project

that drains to the upper end of the project is approximately 1,124 acres, and land use it primarily
agricultural. The drainage area at the downstream end of the reach is 1,174 acres.
Enhancement Level II is proposed for all remaining Reaches LP2 through LP7 which will include
treatment of invasive vegetation, debris removal, and livestock exclusion. A minimum 50-foot
buffer will be established along the reach and will be planted with native riparian vegetation where
existing vegetation is non-native or limited density. The drainage area at the downstream end of
the reaches is 1,312 acres.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in
designing project:
Due to the nature of this project, complete avoidance is not possible. Both stream and wetland
impacts were considered when designing the Uzzle Mitigation project. This project should uplift
the ecological quality of streams and wetlands on site. The existing channel length is 6,983 LF.
The proposed project will result in 5,982 LF of stream.

1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts
through 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.

a FEMA flood study to either obtain a No-Rise Certification or CLOMR/ LOMR from the
Johnston County floodplain administrator. Grading activities are proposed within the Little
Poplar Creek floodway for the stream restoration portion of the project for reach LP1. Therefore,
it is anticipated that a No-rise or Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) will be required
for the project. Hydrologic trespass is a not a concern for this project. While designing the Uzzle
project, appropriate measures were taken to eliminate hydrologic trespass of the adjacent
properties. The adjacent land use will not be affected by the proposed design, and no
detrimental impacts are expected beyond the easement limits. The Site can be found on Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panels 1676, 1677, 1686 (map numbers 3720167600J,
3720167700J, 3720168600J), effective date December 2, 2005.

Ms. Samantha Dailey
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 105
Wake Forest, North Carolina 27587

Dear Ms. Samantha Dailey,

Resource Environmental Solutions (RES) is pleased to present this Request for a Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination for the Uzzle Mitigation Site located in Clayton, Johnston County,
North Carolina. As part of this scope of work, RES is submitting this request to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps) for a confirmation of the limits of Waters of the U.S. on the subject
site.

The purpose of this project is the establishment of a mitigation site under the existing Neu-con
Umbrella Banking Instrument to generate stream mitigation credits that may be used to provide
compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to warm water streams associated with
Department of the Army permit authorizations pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

Delineation Information
RES completed its delineation of potentially jurisdictional areas on this property on January 5,
2017 in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual methodology
(Environmental Laboratory 1987), as well as the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Delineation Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain (Version 2.0). Flags
were numbered and placed onsite to mark the limits of potentially jurisdictional wetlands and other
Waters of the U.S. Wetland flags were located using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology
with sub-meter accuracy and the streams were drawn using the available National Hydrography
Dataset Flowlines. Stream determinations were verified by a NCDWR representative on January
13, 2017. The approximate size and location of these areas are depicted on the attached Waters of
the U.S. Delineation Map. All wetland areas are shown on this figure, but only the ones within the
easement limits need confirmation.

The current land use on-site is active pasture and grazed forest. The site contains Little Poplar
Creek and two (2) of it’s unnamed tributaries. One (1) large wetland area was found on-site and
is located in the floodplain of the streams.
