1.0 INTRODUCTION
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) was retained by Cypress Creek Renewables, LLC (CCR)
to conduct a wetland delineation for the Snow Camp Solar site, hereafter referred to as the site.
The site is approximately 84.5 acres and is located off of Clark Road in Snow Camp, Alamance
County, North Carolina. The center of the review area is located at 35.8628890N, and -
79.423248°W.
The purpose of conducting the wetland delineation was to determine if wetlands or Water of the
U.S. (WoUS) are present on the project site and if so, to identify the boundaries. A wetland
delineation was conducted in general accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual and the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region. According to U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) guidelines, wetlands generally have three essential characteristics:
hydrophytic (wetland) vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. All three characteristics
generally must be present for a location to be classified as a wetland.
2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Terracon conducted the following scope of work:
Terracon reviewed readily available resources to assist with identifying suspect
WoUS and suspect wetland areas on the site or in the immediate vicinity of the
site.
Mobilization to the site to conduct the wetland delineation.
Prepared a Jurisdiction Determination Request (JDR) package depicting wetlands
areas and other WoUS identified during the site visit.
Submit the JDR package to USACE and attend a site visit with USACE to verify
wetland locations, as requested.
Obtain a Jurisdictional Determination (JD) letter from USACE.
3.0 PRELIMINARY DATA GATHERING AND ANALYSIS
Prior to conducting the survey Terracon reviewed readily available resources to assist with
identifying suspect WoUS and suspect wetland areas on the site or in the immediate vicinity of
the site. Terracon reviewed readily available resources to assist with identifying suspect WoUS
and suspect wetland areas on the site or in the immediate vicinity of the site. These sources
include the current United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 Minute Topographic Map,
United States Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory (USFWS NWI) Map, United
States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), US Department of
Agriculture (USDS) — Natural Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) Soil Survey data, and
aerial photographs.

The site specific sources of data are described in some detail below.
3.1 Topographic Map
The USGS 7.5-Minute Topographic Maps of the site were reviewed to classify topography and
to identify streams, wetlands, and water features on the site. The USGS topographic map
depicts an unnamed stream running through the southwest portion of the site and a pond on the
north side of the site (See Appendix A Exhibit 2).
3.2 Aerial Photographs
Terracon reviewed aerial imagery to identify suspect wetlands or water bodies that may be
present on the site. Aerial images from various sources including ESRI and Google Earth were
used for this review. A 1998 infrared aerial view obtained from nconemap.com was also
reviewed. The color spectrum of infrared aerial provides information regarding the moisture
content of the soil. Generally, darker areas indicate elevated soil moisture content.
Aerial photographs show a pond on the north central portion of the site. The 1998 infrared aerial
photograph for the site and immediate vicinity depicts possible hydric soil conditions on the
north central portion of the site (See Appendix A Exhibit 3).
3.3 National Wetland Inventory Map
The USFWS NWI map of the subject site was reviewed to identify potential wetland areas. The
USFWS NWI maps are published by the USFWS and depict probable wetland areas based on
stereoscopic analysis of high altitude aerial photographs.
It should be noted that the Federal Geographic Data Committee document Wetlands Mapping
Standard', which is the basis for wetland determinations used in the USFWS NWI Map, lists
numerous factors affecting the accuracy of the map including:
• Scale of imagery
■ Mapping scale or base map scale
■ Quality of imagery
■ Season of imagery (leaf -off or leaf -on)
■ Type of imagery or emulsion of imagery
■ Environmental conditions when imagery was captured
■ Difficulty of identifying particular types of wetlands
■ Availability and quality of ancillary or collateral data sources

It should also be noted that the USFWS Wetland Mapper internet site (used to locate/generate
NWI maps) includes the following disclaimer(s):
The map displays at this site show wetland type and extent using a biological definition
of wetlands. There is no attempt to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any
Federal, state, or local government, or to establish the geographical scope of the
regulatory programs of government agencies.
Base cartographic information used as part of this Wetlands Mapper has been provided
through third party products. The FWS does not maintain, and is not responsible for the
accuracy or completeness of the base cartographic information.
The review of the NWI map depicts riverine wetlands on the north central portion of the site
(See Appendix A Exhibit 4).
3.4 National Hydrology Dataset
The NHD is used to portray surface water. The NHD represents the drainage network with
features such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, coastline, dams, and streamgages. The
NHD depicts an unnamed stream running through the southwest portion of the site and an
unnamed stream running into the northern boundary of the site from the bordering property (See
Appendix A Exhibit 4).
3.5 Soil Survey
Data from the USDA Soil Conservation Service, now known as the NRCS Web Soil Survey
were reviewed to identify soil types, including hydric soils for the site. As previously indicated,
hydric soil is one of the three essential characteristics of a wetland according to the USACE.
Soil types were then compared to the National List of Hydric Soils' (NRCS, February, 2014).
Inclusion on the Hydric Soil List indicates that the soil series or one of its components contain
characteristics which may be hydric and is not an unqualified indication of hydric soil for a
specific location.
Hydric soils listed on the NRCS Hydric Soil List must meet one or more of the following NRCS
hydric criteria codes4:
1. All Histels except Folistels and Histosols except Folists; or
2. Map unit components in Aquic suborders, great groups, or subgroups, Albolls
suborder, Historthels great group, Histoturbels great group, or Andic, Cumulic,
Pachic, or Vitrandic subgroups that:
a. Based on the range of characteristics for the soil series, will at least in part
meet one or more Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, or

**Acreages are approximate only.
It should be noted that the NRCS provides a disclaimer for certain map scales. In this case the
Web Soil Survey Mapper included the following message:
Soil Map may not be valid at this scale (1:5,290).
The site map was created beyond the scale at which the soil map for this area is
intended to be used. Mapping of soils is done at a particular scale. The soil surveys that
comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:24,000. The design of map units and the level of
detail shown in the resulting soil map are dependent on that map 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.
The NRCS soil data depicted hydric soils (We) on the southwest portion and the north central
portion of the site (See Appendix A Exhibit 5).
4.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION
Terracon personnel conducted a reconnaissance of the site on October 21, 2014 and March 24,
2015 to observe for the presence of potential wetland characteristics and surface waters.
Characteristics of potential jurisdictional surface waters and wetland areas were assessed
utilizing the criteria detailed in sections 4.1 through 4.5 of this report. The evaluation methods
generally followed the routine on -site determination method referenced in the 1987 USACE
Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region.
Wetlands have three essential characteristics: hydrophytic (wetland) vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology. Soils, hydrology, and vegetation were evaluated within the suspect
areas to determine if wetland characteristics were present.
4.1 Hydric Soils Assessment
Subsurface soils were evaluated by digging soil pits in the suspect areas. Soil samples were
collected from ground surface to a depth of 20 inches below ground surface and were visually
compared to Munsell Soil Color Charts (Munsell, 2009), which aided in the evaluation of hydric
soil characteristics. The soil samples were further examined for hydric soil indicators including,
but not limited to, histosol, thick dark surface, sandy gleyed matrix, sandy redox, loamy gleyed
matrix, redox dark surface, and/or redox depressions. If these or other hydric soil indicators
were observed in the subsurface soil sample, the observation location was considered to have

Wetland Delineation Report

July 31, 2015 Terracon Project: EN147040
hydric soil. Soil profile data was recorded on the Wetland Determination Data Forms included in
the JDR Package (Appendix B).
4.2 Wetland Hydrology Assessment
Visual indicators of wetland hydrology were evaluated. Examples of primary wetland hydrology
indicators include, but are not limited to, surface water, high water table, soil saturation, water
marks, sediment deposits, drift deposits, iron deposits, inundation visible on aerial imagery,
sparsely vegetated concave surface, and water -stained leaves. If at least one primary or two
secondary indicators were observed, the observation location was considered to have wetland
hydrology. Hydrology indicators were recorded on the Wetland Determination Data Forms
included in the JDR Package (Appendix B).
4.3 Plant Community Assessment
The suspect areas were visually observed to determine the species and percentage of ground
cover for five stratums of plant community types; trees, saplings, shrubs, herbs, and vines.
Typically, wetland indicator status is evaluated for each species of vegetation observed, and
indicator status determined using the National Wetland Plant Lists. Evaluation of vegetation is
also typically performed during the active growing season, which is the period of the year when
the presence or absence of wetland hydrology indicators is most likely to reflect the true
wetland/non-wetland status of the site. If the wetland delineation is performed outside of the
growing season, surveying and classification of identified wetlands are based on existing
conditions and are subject to change. A follow-up visit may be necessary in the vegetative
growing season to confirm plant species.
For the species of vegetation observed, their wetland indicator status was evaluated. Indicator
status was determined using the National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands (USACE,
2014). Indicator categories for vegetation are presented below:
Obligate Wetland (OBL) - occur almost always (estimated probability greater
than 99%) under natural conditions in wetlands.
Facultative Wetland (FACW) - usually occur in wetlands (estimated probability
67% - 99%) but occasionally found in non -wetlands.
Facultative (FAC) - equally likely to occur in wetlands or non -wetlands
(estimated probability 34% - 66%).
Facultative Upland (FACU) - usually occur in non -wetlands (estimated
probability 67% - 99%) but occasionally found in wetlands.

July 31, 2015 Terracon Project: EN147040
Obligate Upland (UPL) — rarely occur in wetlands, but occur almost always
(estimated probability greater than 99%) under natural conditions in non -
wetlands.
The percent cover of the stratum was determined and dominance was evaluated. Dominant
species were the most abundant species that accounted for more 20 percent of the absolute
percent coverage of the stratum. The number of dominant species with an indicator status of
OBL, FACW, and/or FAC was compared to the total number of dominant species across the
strata. Typically, when more than 50 percent of the dominant species had an indicator status of
OBL, FACW, and/or FAC, hydrophytic vegetation was present.
If the percentage of dominant species with an indicator status of OBL, FACW, and/or FAC was
less than 50 percent, prevalence index and morphological adaptations may have been
evaluated to confirm if hydrophytic vegetation was present or absent.
4.4 Classification of Wetlands
Following review of wetland criteria at the suspect areas, a wetland determination was made for
the site. Under normal circumstances, if one or more of the wetland criteria are not identified,
the area is not considered to be a wetland. If all three wetland indicators were identified, the
area is classified as wetland. Soil, hydrology, and vegetation assessment data from locations in
each project site were recorded on a USACE Wetland Determination Data Form — Eastern
Mountains and Piedmont Region. The recorded data forms for the subject site can be found in
Appendix C and the data point locations can be seen in Appendix B within the Jurisdictional
Determination request Package.
4.5 Surface Water and Drainage Feature Observations
Terracon also made observations of site features to identify jurisdictional WoUS. If a surface
water body or drainage feature was identified, observations regarding its characteristics were
recorded. Surface water bodies/drainage features were evaluated based on the observation of
the following characteristics:
Flow Characteristics:
o Perennial: contains water at all times except during extreme drought.
o Intermittent: carries water a considerable portion of the time, but ceases
to flow occasionally or seasonally.
o Ephemeral: carries water only during and immediately after periods of
rainfall or snowmelt.
Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM): The limit line on the shore established by
the fluctuation of the water surface. It is shown by such things as a clear line

terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris or other features
influenced by the surrounding area.
Bank Shape Descriptions:
Undercut: banks that overhang the stream channel
o Steep: bank slope of approximately greater than 30 degrees
o Gradual: bank slope of approximately 30 degrees or less
Aquatic Habitat Descriptions:
Pool: deeper portion of a stream where water flows slower than in
neighboring, shallower portions, smooth surface, and finer substrate
Riffle: shallow area in a stream where water flows swiftly over gravel and
rock or other coarse substrate resulting in a rough flow and a turbulent
surface
Run: section of a stream with a low or high velocity and with little or no
turbulence on the surface of the water.
5.0 FIELD DELINEATION RESULTS
On October 21, 2014 and March 24, 2015, Terracon performed a field delineation to identify
potential wetlands and WoUS on the site as discussed in Section 4 above. Wetland
Determination Data Forms included in the JDR package and ground photographs in Appendix B
provide an indication of the physical characteristics observed during the site visit. Descriptions
of the evaluated areas are listed in the following sections. Exhibit A in Appendix A shows
locations of the wetlands. Wetlands and WoUS areas were marked in the field using highly
visible colored flagging mapped with a Trimble GeoExplorer XH 6000 Series GPS with GNSS
receiver and the data saved to an electronic file for future reference. The following subsections
summarize the wetlands, WoUS, and non -jurisdictional features on the site.
5.1 Jurisdictional Wetlands
Field observations indicated that seven areas within the site exhibited criteria sufficient to be
classified as a wetland. One pond was identified on the site adjacent to Jurisdictional Wetland 1.
A summary of the wetland areas is provided in the tables below:

Basin, Catawba River Basin, Randleman Lake Watershed, Jordan Lake Watershed and Goose
Creek Watershed of North Carolina.
The site is located in the Jordan Lake Watershed inside the Cape Fear River Basin and based
on coordination with NCDENR-DWR, Jurisdictional RPW Tributary 1 located on the southeast
corner of the site, Jurisdictional RPW Tributary 2 located on the eastern portion of the site, and
Jurisdictional Pond 1 located on the northern portion of the site will require 50 foot riparian
buffers. The applicable 50 foot buffers are depicted in Appendix A Exhibit B. NCDENR-DWR
provided Terracon with a copy of the Surface Water Determination Letter Included in Appendix
C.
There are also local buffer protection programs across the state of North Carolina; however, the
project site is not located in an area where local governments have been delegated authority to
implement the riparian buffer protection programs.
7.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Wetlands and WoUS were delineated on the site by Terracon on October 21, 2014 and March
24, 2015. Based on the field observations, the wetland delineation, and USACE Jurisdictional
Determination, the site contained the following wetlands and WoUS:
■ Approximate Total Jurisdictional RPW: 3,915 Linear Feet
■ Approximate Total Jurisdictional Wetlands: 1.55 Acres
■ Approximate Total Jurisdictional Pond: 1.58 Acres
Jurisdictional RPW Tributary 1 located on the southeast corner of the site, Jurisdictional RPW
Tributary 2 located on the eastern portion of the site, and Jurisdictional Pond 1 located on the
northern portion of the site are subject to state riparian buffer protection requirements.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
I. REQUESTS FOR CORPS APPROVAL OF SURVEY PLAT
Prior to final production of a Plat, the Wilmington District recommends that the Land
Surveyor electronically submit a draft of a Survey Plat to the Corps project manager for
review.
Due to storage limitations of our administrative records, the Corps requires that all hard -
copy submittals include at least one original Plat to scale that is no larger than 11 "x 17"
(the use of match lines for larger tracts acceptable). Additional copies of a plat, including
those larger than 11"x17", may also be submitted for Corps signature as needed. The
Corps also accepts electronic submittals of plats, such as those transmitted as a Portable
Document Format (PDF) file. Upon verification, the Corps can electronically sign these
plats and return them via e-mail to the requestor.
(1) PLATS SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL
Must be sealed and signed by a licensed professional land surveyor
❑ Must be to scale (all maps must include both a graphic scale and a verbal scale)
❑ Must be legible
1-1 Must include a North Arrow, Scale(s), Title, Property Information
Must include a legible WoUS Delineation Table of distances and bearings/metes

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
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
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
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)
that 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) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not
necessarily been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for
later jurisdictional determinations.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Ok, that's what I recollected but wanted to be sure.
Will you please show 50' Jordan Buffers on the pond, tributary 2 up to the first wetland (at the start of a stream the
buffers arc around the start point so it will overlap the wetland) and tributary 1. I'll then issue a letter that states the
map is accurate for buffers and DWR purposes.

Ted, did you try to identify a channel/point where the channel would rate >19 on the DWR form for the purposes of
buffers? I can't send a stream determination letter until we determine where you need to apply the Jordan Lake
Buffers. If you want to schedule a time for us to run back out there and just look at the two strongest channels and pick
a location to start the buffers we can do that, or you can provide me with some information from your visit that will

refresh my memory of what it looked like and we can try to do it that way. I'm sorry, I should have reviewed the soil

Ted,
Looking more closely at the soil survey map it appears that the 2nd or 3rd stream we looked at, the "main" channel
feeding into the pond would be the buffered stream. I don't remember which was stronger when they split but that's
the one we would select as the buffered channel.

Ted, I looked at the Alamance soil survey and it shows one stream above the pond, going pretty far up, so at least one of
those features will be buffered. Given how close they are and how imprecise the maps can be, we'll have to look at
some more information to determine exactly which one and how far up the channel would have buffers. Here's the link
for the soil survey map info.

http://portaI.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/riparianbuffers/maps
Also, here's the link to the info on the stream ID class.
http://portal. ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/waterresources/streamdeterminations/streamclass
After you talk to your client, if it is going to matter we can resolve the question of which channel has buffers and where
they start.

Thanks Ted, that area is subject to the Jordan Lake Buffer regulations so you'll definitely want an official stream call
from me. Let's try to all go at the same time if that's ok with you.

On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Jordan Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0267)
Dear Mr. Melchers:
On March 17, 2015, at your request and in your attendance, I conducted an on -site determination to review
features located on the subject project for stream determinations with regards to the above noted state
regulations. David Bailey with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was also present at the site visit.
The Division acknowledges the areas and boundaries identified as jurisdictional wetlands by the USACE. The
attached map accurately depicts all stream and buffer determinations conducted during the site visit.
Please note that at the time of this letter, all intermittent and perennial stream channels and jurisdictional
wetlands found on the property are subject to the mitigation rules cited above. These regulations are subject
to change in the future.
The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any
future correspondences concerning this property. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from
the date of this letter.
