B. Project Information and Prior Project History, 3. Project Description, 3d. Explain the
purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to redevelop an existing commercial property in order to
establish additional commercial outparcels along NC -280 (Airport Road) and associated
infrastructure.
B. Project Information and Prior Project History, 3. Project Description, 3e. Describe the
overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project includes the installation of approximately 590 LF of HDPE culvert. This
culvert would tie to an existing stormwater culvert located along the southwestern edge of the
property parcel that borders Airport Road (Figure 3). Approximately 201 linear feet of intermittent
stream would be rerouted via culvert and approximately 0.029 acre of herbaceous wetland would
be filled in order to create two additional outparcels that would be developed as commercial
properties within the project area (Figure 3). Approximately 0.027 acre of herbaceous wetland
would be filled in order to form a NCDOT driveway between the property parcel and Birch Circle
(Figure 3). Wetland impacts total approximately 0.056 AC.
Typical construction equipment and earth moving machinery would be utilized. Sediment and
erosion control measures and best management practices would be in use on site as well. Culvert
installation will occur in the dry via the use of a pump around/dewatering system (Figure 3).
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation, Avoidance and Minimization, lb. Specifically
describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques:
All construction equipment would be operated from high ground. Sediment and erosion control
measures and best management practices would be utilized on-site. Culvert installation will occur
in the dry via the use of a pump around/dewatering system (Figure 3). Culverts will be embedded
in order to allow for appropriate aquatic passage (Figure 3).
F. Supplementary Information, Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps
Requirement), 5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would
impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat:
CEC consulted the FWS's "Northern Long -Eared Bat Consultation Areas" map for Buncombe
County. The project is not located near any known occurrences of hibernacula or maternity sites.
It is the opinion of CEC that the project would have "no effect" on the Northern long-eared bat.
Wetlands on-site are primarily dominated by emergent herbaceous vegetation. Dominant species
include common rush (Juncus effusus), purplestem aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum), sedge
(Carex sp.), goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica); blackberry
(Rubus allegheniensis), and woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus). CEC did not observe any threatened

or endangered species during the delineation/survey of the wetlands on-site, including Blue Ridge
goldenrod (Solidago spithamaea), bunched arrowhead (Sagittaria fasciculata), mountain sweet
pitcher plant (Sarracenia rubra ssp. Jonesii), spreading avens (Geum radiatum), or Virgina spiraea
(Spiraea virginiana).
F. Supplementary Information, Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps
Requirement), 7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would
impact historic or archeological resources:
National Register of Historic Places records maintained by the NC State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) and available on SHPO's HPOWEB GIS server. The proposed project is within
1 -mile of three "Determined Eligible Boundaries," which include Browns Pottery (BN2136),
Lutheridge (BN6304), and Oak Park Historic District (BN2467). Development activities will be
contained to the 13 -acre site and it is the opinion of CEC that project construction will not
negatively affect the integrity of these historic sites.

urisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERIIRNATION (JD) TYPE (Select. One)
T am requesting that the Corps provide a prelimit>ury JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
F] I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
El I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

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:

Consider for left bank (LB) and right bank (RB) for Metric 19 ("Wooded" Buffer Width).
LB RB
❑A ❑A Medium to high stem density
®B ®B Low stem density
❑C ❑C No wooded riparian buffer or predominantly herbaceous species or bare ground
23. Continuity of Vegetated Buffer — streamside area metric (skip for Tidal Marsh Streams)
Consider whether vegetated buffer is continuous along stream (parallel). Breaks are areas lacking vegetation > 10 feet wide.
LB RB
❑A ®A The total length of buffer breaks is < 25 percent.
®B ❑B The total length of buffer breaks is between 25 and 50 percent.
❑C ❑C The total length of buffer breaks is > 50 percent.
24. Vegetative Composition —streamside area metric (skip for Tidal Marsh Streams)
Evaluate the dominant vegetation within 100 feet of each bank or to the edge of the watershed (whichever comes first) as it contributes to
assessment reach habitat.
LB RB
❑A ❑A Vegetation is Gose to undisturbed in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of native species,
with non-native invasive species absent or sparse.
®B ®B Vegetation indicates disturbance in terms of species diversity or proportions, but is still largely composed of native
species. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clear -cutting or clearing or
communities with non-native invasive species present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata or
communities missing understory but retaining canopy trees.
❑C ❑C Vegetation is severely disturbed in terms of species diversity or proportions. Mature canopy is absent or communities
with non-native invasive species dominant over a large portion of expected strata or communities composed of planted
stands of non -characteristic species or communities inappropriately composed of a single species or no vegetation.
