Western North Carolina Stream Initiative (NCWSI) - Beasley Site
✔
The purpose of the project is to conduct stream enhancement/stabilization using natural channel design techniques to reduce stream
instability and erosion. The work is being performed and funded through the Western North Carolina Stream Initiative (WNCSI)
program which is a partnership between Resource Institute and the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). The project
proposes a combination of stabilization/enhancement and bank grading to approximately 1,810 linear feet of the Elk River and one
unnamed tributary. One permanent ford crossing for agricultural purposes is also proposed.

Western North Carolina Stream Initiative – Beasley Site 
Avery County, North Carolina 

Background 
The Western North Carolina Stream Initiative (WNCSI) ‐ Beasley Site is a stream enhancement and stabilization 
project located off Shawneehaw Avenue, approximately 1‐mile south of Banner Elk, in northern Avery County (Figures 
1 ‐ 3). The WNCSI program is a partnership between Resource Institute (RI) and the Natural Resource Conservation 
Service (NRCS) that seeks to complete stream restoration projects on agricultural lands that have been identified by 
NRCS staff in western North Carolina. These projects are typically somewhat longer and more challenging, in one or 
more respects, than traditional NRCS‐funded projects. NRCS federal grants fund WNCSI and similar stream 
stabilization projects as agricultural best management practices for the purpose of reducing erosion and 
sedimentation into streams, installing complementary practices such as fencing and watering, and in some cases for 
habitat enhancement. NRCS approved Technical Services Providers (TSPs) are selected by, and contracted with, RI 
to provide design and engineering services for the WNCSI projects. The designs adhere to NRCS standard 
practices. Sites generally seek to achieve stable banks and/or channel stability through bank sloping, structure 
installation or other minimally invasive methods. All bank sloping and structural improvements are accompanied 
by stream bank planting. Existing buffers and vegetation are typically maintained or enhanced. Construction 
work is being conducted by pre‐qualified stream restoration contractors, selected by RI. These contractors have 
substantial experience in stream restoration projects and work in partnership with TSPs and RI to complete high‐
quality bank and channel stabilization efforts under this program.   

Project Overview 
Within the project area, streambank erosion is common along the Elk River as a result of anthropogenic impacts 
including clearing of deep‐rooted vegetation and buffer maintenance. The project proposes a combination of 
channel enhancement and stabilization to approximately 1,810 linear feet of the Elk River and one unnamed 
tributary. Proposed channel enhancement includes the construction of in‐stream structures and slight 
adjustments to stream pattern and profile. In‐stream structures including brush toes with geolifts, constructed 
riffles, log sills, rocks sills, j‐hooks, and cross vanes will be installed to stabilize bed and bank. Minor adjustments 
to channel pattern are proposed where the channel has laterally migrated towards the left valley wall resulting 
in tight, eroding meander bends. The pattern adjustments will shift the alignment away from the valley wall and 
create gentler meander bends. Additional channel stabilization in the form of bank grading will involve 
excavating a bankfull bench and laying back eroding banks to create a stable bank angle that can be matted and 
re‐vegetated for long‐term stability. One permanent ford crossing is also proposed.  

Methodology 
Wildlands performed a field delineation of potential waters of the U.S. within the proposed project area using 
the USACE Routine On‐Site Determination Method defined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation 
Manual and subsequent Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Regional Supplement Version 2.0 (2012). Non‐wetland 
waters (streams) were reviewed using USACE Ordinary High‐Water Marks guidance (2005) and classified using 
the North Carolina Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and 
Perennial Streams and Their Origins (Version 4.11, 2010). NCDWR Stream Classification Forms representative of 
on‐site stream tributaries are enclosed (SCP1‐SCP2) but no form was completed for the Elk River which drains 
approximately seven square miles at the upstream end of the project area and functions as a perennial stream.    

Field Investigation Results 
The results of the on‐site field investigation indicate there are three potential streams located within the proposed 
project area including the Elk River and two unnamed tributaries (UT1 & UT2) (Figure 4). The Elk River (NCDWR index 
No. 8‐22‐(3) is classified as Class C waters with an additional designation of Trout Waters (TR). On‐site stream 
channels are located within NCDWR subbasin 04‐02‐01 of the Watauga River Basin (HUC# 06010103). One potential 
wetland was delineated in the assessment area. Approximate linear footage and acreage of potential on‐site waters 
are summarized in Table 1.

Soils 
Soils within the assessment area include Crossnore‐Jeffrey complex (CrE), Cullowhee loam (CuA), Nikwasi loam (NkA), 
and Spivey cobbly loam (SpD). Crossnore‐Jeffrey complex and Spivey cobbly loam soils are well drained and typically 
found on mountain slopes. These soils don’t experience flooding or ponding. The Cullowhee loam is described as a 
somewhat poorly drained soil found on floodplains. This soil occasional experiences flooding but not ponding. Nikawsi 
loam is a very poorly drained soil found in floodplains. This unit is frequently flooded and experiences occasional 
ponding. The Nikawsi loam and minor components of the Cullowhee loam are listed as a hydric soil by the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).  Soils mapping units in Figure 5 are 
based on the USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey website (https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm). 

Proposed Impacts 
The proposed stream work will impact project channels and wetlands during construction however these activities 
are designed to have an overall long‐term positive effect using natural channel design techniques to restore and 
improve stream function, establish flood storage, and provide floodplain connectivity. During design, permanent and 
temporary impacts were avoided or minimized as much as possible. Stream work is only proposed to sections of 
channel exhibiting active channel degradation and/or unstable streambanks. Stream impacts will be avoided or 
minimized to stream banks that exhibit less instability. Wetland impacts were minimized and only involve area 
necessary for stabilizing the upstream end of UT1. Stream work will be conducted with excavators, trackhoes, and 
tracktrucks. Work will typically occur from the top of bank, however working within the channel will be necessary at 
times including structure installation. The engineer will be on‐site and will require the contractor to take precautions 
to limit downstream sedimentation. Bank grading will be done with caution to avoid spillback of graded sediments 
into the stream. Proposed impacts are depicted on Figure 6.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
Version: May 2017
Page 4

F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary 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.
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).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS

Mutual Agreement
for
Stream Stabilization/Restoration Project
Resource Institute (RI) is a non-profit organization that assists organizations and
individuals in carrying out projects to protect natural and human resources while promoting
economic development. RI can assist with projects in a variety of ways, including, but not limited
to, fund-raising, administering project funds, and contracting for services needed to complete a
project. RI has recently adopted a project referred to as the Western North Carolina Stream
Initiative to help farmers and landowners address eroding stream banks that are negatively
affecting them through loss of property, hazards for livestock, sediment transport into a stream and
degraded aquatic habitat. The fanner/landowner has either initiated an application for assistance
through USDA/NRCS's EQIP program or has already signed an agreement/contract for assistance
with USDA/NRCS's EQIP program. RI's role is to help attain the funding for the design,
construction oversight and unmet construction needs of the work for sites with current EQIP
program agreements/contracts through USDA/NRCS.
RI will assist the farmer/landowner by helping to address issues related to managing and
contracting for the required design, planning, permitting and construction work for stream
enhancement practices on the site, as well as necessary structure work, and bank stabilization. RI's
objective is to help address current water quality degradation issues; however, work cannot be
guaranteed for acts of nature related to flood events or beyond the one year work warranty given
by the contractor. RI is working with NRCS, Conservation Districts and the farmers/landowners
to help reduce those impacts as much as possible.
In providing services to the farmer/landowner on this tract of land for stream
restoration/stabilization activities to be performed we thereby mutually agree to the following
items:
1. The farmer/landowner will allow ingress and egress for all activities related to the stream
restoration/stabilization such as: surveys, engineering, construction, monitoring, etc. for
RI and its agents.
2. Farmer/landowner will follow the contractual guidance in the EQIP program with USDA,
NRCS. This includes maintaining SAM.gov registration for entities if applicable.
3. Farmer/landowner will allow NRCS to provide RI with a copy of the associated NRCS
EQIP, application, contract and/or contract modifications, and appendix for the purpose
of allowing RI to share with RI's other funders in an effort to help obtain matching
dollars. (Initial/date) �j 7
4. The farmer/landowner ill assign payments for stream restoration/stabilization related
items/practices in the federal contract to Resource Institute using form NRCS-CPA-1236
within 15 days of the initiation of construction for these items/practices.
5. Farmer/landowner will sign the NRCS-CPA-1245 within 15 days of notification to sign
this form to allow payment of the completed items/practices. (Initial/date)_- i _y� o/i 7

restoration/stabilization activities received for the project. This includes providing the
farmer/landowner (federal contract participant) with a receipt corresponding to the
federal funds received related to the stream restoration/stabilization practices/items.
Note: The federal funds received are based upon a payment schedule rate for the average
cost.
7. RI will provide project management services such as, obtaining the technical resources,
bidding and contracting of project elements, and project construction oversight.

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:

The sampling point is taken in a linear ditch feature that was installed decades ago to improve drainage to the adjacent ag. field. The feature exhibits
saturated soils, shallow inundation, hydric soil indicators, and is covered in hydrophytic vegetation. Climatic conditions are marked as not typcial for
this time of year. The area is 4 to 6 inches above normal rainfall totals for the three months prior to this evaluation in July 2019 based on departure
from normal on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website.
