Unnamed watershed tributary to Bitter Creek
Blue lines depict channels that are mapped on the 1:24000 scale USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD);
USACE determined 5 sites within the drainage to be non-jurisdictional in December, 2005. From this, I would conclude that the entire drainage above the confluence with Bitter Creek to be non-jurisdictional.
Under the 2015 WOTUS rule, all of the blue mapped channels would be jurisdictional as would the smaller unmapped channels, especially for NPDES (section 402) purposes. Evidence of this is clear. The Corps determined that only 4% of the CBM reservoir sites that they evaluated were jurisdictional, but EPA exercised their authority to object to hundreds of discharges to these reservoirs regardless of whether they were jurisdictional or not.
