4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to stabilize eroding stream banks on the North Fork New River and its tributary Brush Fork. Unrestricted cattle access along the banks, lack of riparian
vegetation, and an increased sediment load due to upstream agricultural land use has caused degradation of these two reaches. Animal exclusion, streambank benching and sloping,
natural channel structures and a planted riparian forest buffer will be used to restore the reaches.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will provide bank stabilization and grade control using natural channel design structures including cross vanes, log and rock J hooks, and toe wood. A bankfull bench will be
constructed and the banks will be sloped back and stabilized using coir matting and live stakes and a riparian buffer of native tree and shrub species will be planted. Equipment used for
this proposed construction includes track -hoes, skid steers, and dump trucks.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

stream impacts are 3117 LF (with 2312 LF on Nort
h Fork New River and 805 LF on Brush Fork).
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed work and associated impacts are intended to stabilize approximately 3117 ft of stream bank along North Fork New River and Brush Fork
while minimizing impacts to aquatic resources. Design measures which minimize impacts include installation of natural channel design structures which
Wil improve stream stability and provide habitat. All disturbed buffer areas will be immediately seeded upon completion, matted (coir matting) and
stabilized at the close of each construct
ion day.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All streambank disturbances will be stabilized same day and covered with coir matting and livestaked to reduce sedimentation during construction.
Only well maintained equipment will be used; no leaks will be tolerated. Equipment will work from streambanks whenever possible while performing the
work and will only work in the channel when absolutely necessary. Temporary diversion structures will be installed upstream of the work areas to divert
flow away from exposed substrate materials and to prevent excessive sedimentation. Following construction, the banks of the restored channel will be
seeded with a native fl
oodplain mix (permanent seed). The forested riparian buffer will be planted with a variety of native 1 -gallon trees following
construction.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes
r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
This project will result in improved conditions along the two reaches which are being stabilized, and will not have impacts requiring mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes
c No
If no, explain why:

r Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
BFEC completed the USFW IPaC regulatory review process. BFEC then reviewed specific information for each species on the Raleigh Ecological
Services Field Office page and USFWS fact sheets. No Critical Habitat is located at this site. Habitat requirements are not met for the majority of the
species on the list, due to specific habitat requirements such as high elevation rocky outcrops/summits or spruce fir forest. No known caves are
located at the project site. No Northern Long Eared Bat maternity roosts are known on site, though a few mature trees are present on the upstream
portion of NFNR. Project design aims to work around existing healthy trees where at all possible.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
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 AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) 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) 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) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (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 PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives 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 AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
