  • Environmental Consequences
    General Planning Consultant Services Environmental Effects Report – BeltLine Corridor Northeast Zone 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES 4.1 Wetlands/Waters of the U.S. and State Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are defined by 33 CFR Part 328.3 (b) and are protected by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344), which is administered and enforced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This EER assessment used USGS topography maps, NWI maps, and county soil survey maps to identify jurisdictional waters of the U.S. that the proposed action would affect. Subsequent field investigations allowed for refinements to the assessments of jurisdictional waters. Wetland locations were determined using the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual. The USACE manual’s multi-parameter approach requires positive evidence of three criteria: hydrophytic vegetation; hydric soils; and wetland hydrology. Jurisdictional wetlands exhibit evidence of all three of the above wetland parameters. Jurisdictional intermittent or perennial streams exhibit a definite channel and wrested vegetation, and show evidence of water flow at times other than major storm events. Ephemeral streams exhibit wrested vegetation and evidence of flow only during and immediately after storm events. In addition, ephemeral streams do not have hydric soils or base flow as in intermittent and perennial streams. Ephemeral streams are non- jurisdictional if they do not provide a significant nexus between two separate Waters of the U.S. Within the study area are eight perennial streams, three intermittent streams, two wetlands and one ephemeral stream. Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2, and Figure 4-3 identify the locations of wetlands, Waters of the U.S.
