4a. 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 proposed Middle Fork Greenway Section #4 will begin (STA 0+00) on the east side of US Hwy 321 (east of Tweetsie Railroad), between the Towns of Boone and Blowing Rock, on
a parcel owned by Watauga County (PIN 2819920325). This parcel is 12 acres and is undeveloped forest and riparian areas including those of the Middle Fork New River (MFNR),
Elrod Branch (Stream Crossing #1), an Un -named Tributary (UT) to Elrod Branch (Stream Crossing #2), an UT-MFNR 1 (Stream Crossing #3), and an area of proposed streambank
stabilization. The greenway continues along MFNR "river right" through a 4.25 acre Conservation Easement deeded to the Middle Fork Greenway Association in 2006 (Bk 1156 Pg
586). Stream Crossing #4 at UT-MFNR 2 (Stream Crossing #4) is located within this easement. This easement is generally forested and unforested riparian area adjacent to residential
and undeveloped properties. The greenway ends at another parcel owned by Watauga County (PIN 2819849772) where it crosses Goldmine Branch (Stream Crossing #5) and
terminates at the future site of Goldmine Branch Park and Trailhead.
The proposed greenway runs parallel to the east of US Hwy 321 and the MFNR for its entirety. There is some low density commercial development between the Highway and the MFNR
(west of project) including a small business and storage area on the property owned by Truman Critcher (PIN 2819848694). A proposed temporary stream crossing and a small part of
the proposed streambank stabilization occur along the streambank of this property. There is low density residential development and undeveloped lands to the east of the proposed
greenway.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes 6 No r Unknown

If, Goldmine Branch - 258 If
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct 4,275 linear feet of greenway, referred to as Middle Fork Greenway Section #4 in the Middle Fork Greenway Master Plan. This Plan
was developed by the Middle Fork Greenway Association and Blue Ridge Conservancy, in order to facilitate a recreational greenway between the towns of Blowing Rock and Boone, NC
(Watauga Co.). The Section #4 greenway will be comprised of gravel trail, slope deck, and elevated boardwalk. ApproAmately 157 linear feet of streambank stabilization is proposed at
trail STA 28+50 - STA 30+10, along the MFNR river right streambank between the river and a section of boardwalk greenway. A temporary stream crossing (20') to enable construction
of the boardwalk greenvoy section and streambank stabilization is proposed in this area. Streambank stabilization and natural channel design techniques will decreased rapid bank
erosion in this area and restore riparian and in -stream habitat. Stabilization will also protect the integrity of the boardwalk structure in the future.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Site plans at all proposed stream crossings and the streambank stabilization area are attached to this application. The proposed greenway trail is 10' wide along it's entirety. The
greenway starts as paved trail (heading south and east) on the wasting ground surface at STA 0+00, just east of US Hwy 321. Stream Crossing #1 (Elrod Branch, WS -IV, Tr, +) is
proposed as a span bridge at -STA 1+00. A 15' temporary stream crossing is proposed just upstream of the span bridge.
The trail turns north; Stream Crossing #2 (UT -Elrod Branch, WS -IV, Tr, +) is proposed as a culvert crossing (24" HDPE) with 19' of permanent impact at - STA 1+75. The trail continues
as paved trail and slope deck to Stream Crossing #3 (UT-MFNR 1, WS -IV, Tr, +) at - STA 8+75. Stream Crossing #3 is proposed as a span bridge. A 15' temporary stream crossing is
also proposed adjacent to the span bridge to enable construction equipment along the project corridor.
The streambank stabilization area (157') and temporary stream crossing (20') across the MFNR is proposed from apprommately STA 28+20 - 30+25 with boardwalk greenway to the
east. The temporary stream crossing and streambank stabilization plan with details is attached to this application. Streambank stabilization measures include "toe -wood", "j -hooks" (2),
and "boulder toe" with riparian vegetation restoration. The greenway continues to Stream Crossing #4 (UT-MFNR 2, WS -IV, Tr, +) at STA 37+25. This crossing is proposed as a 36"
HDPE pipe with 18' of permanent stream impact. Stream Crossing #5 (Goldmine Branch, WS -IV, Tr, +) is proposed as a span bridge at STA 39+60. A 15temporrary stream crossing is
proposed adjacent to this span bridge to facilitate construction.
Typical construction equipment including trachoes, bulldozers, skidsteers, and dump trucks will undertake the majority of the trail and streambank stabilization work.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
Ia. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Span bridges are proposed at Stream Crossings #1, #3, and #5 to avoid impacts to stream water quality and ensure aquatic organism passage.
Impacts to streams at the two culvert locations cannot be avoided by shifting the greenway corridor given its direction and parcel boundaries. An
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and Trout Buffer Waiver application will be submitted and approved by the NCDEQ Division of Land Quality office
in Winston Salem before construction begins.
Ib. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Stream flow will be "pumped around" pipe installations at Stream Crossings #2 and #4 if at all possible (based on stream flow during the time of
construction). This will be acheived using sandbags and pumps to avoid sedimentation to surface waters. All heavy equipment will be kept out of the
stream channel during construction except where necessary to install culvert and streambank stabilization structures.
All disturbed areas adjacent to streams, including the proposed Streambank Stabilization area, will be seeded and stabilized with matting within 48
hours of disturbance.
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?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:

The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at
1:12,000.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Watauga County, North Carolina
Survey Area Data: Version 17, Sep 10, 2018
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: May 20, 2011—Nov
9, 2017
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

MidRange 4" 1) Geotextile fabric shall be non -woven material with a minimum tensile
strength of 150 lbs and a minimum weigh tof 6 oz per square yard.
2) When one than one width of geotextile is required, the downstream panel
shall be installed first.
3) Anchoring pins (12-15 in) shall be placed through the geotextile in all
excavated trenches, overlapped fabric and across the width of the channel on 3
ft centers.
4) Stone surfacing shall be no higher than the lowest point in the stable natural
2:1 side slopes channel. Surfacing material shall consist of crusher run aggregate (ABC stone).
5) Surfacing material will be spread such that a minimum of 6 in of cover
exists on the geotextile before tracked equipment is operated over it.
6) Start at existing toe and extend the flat portion of the crossing into the
bank 2 ft before starting the minimum 5:1 slope up and out of the stream
Edge of Water channel.
7) Surface runoff shall be diverted around the entrance and exit slopes to
prevent erosion of surfacing materials.
8) Excavated side slopes on entrance and exit ramps shall have a slope of 2:1
or flatter. Sideslopes shall be stabilized with CM700 (Excelsior) or equivalent
upon installation of stream crossing. Fabric may be underseeded if permanent
grass cover is preferred, or removed and streamside vegetation restored after

Seedbed Preparation:
Disturbed soils within riparian areas will be amended to provide an optimum
environment for seed germination and seedling growth. Surface soils will be loose
enough for water infiltration and root penetration. Lime will be added to the soil to
ensure a pH level between 5.5 - 7. Fertilizer (18-46-0) will be added to nutrient
deficient areas. All riparian areas will be raked to loosen compacted soil prior to
seeding.

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW: .
Summarize rationale supporting determination: .
2. Wetland
adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is “adjacent”: .
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are “relatively permanent
waters” (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below.

6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody’s flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: .
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
•Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
•Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
•Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
•Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D: .
2.Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D: .
3.Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section III.D: .
