Hi Heather. Here are my determinations about the linear features in question (please see the attached table):
-The following features will stay as is, as they are potentially jurisdictional: S-A18-123, S-1318-143, and S-C18-39,- -
Remove the following features from the maps and tables as they are not potentially jurisdictional: S-A18-220, S-A18-228,
S-A18-231, S-A18-232, and S-A18-126; -The following features are not considered streams, but rather will be considered
wetlands due to hydric soils and hydrophytic vegetation: S-A18-1, S-A18-161, S-C18-4, S-C18-14, and S-C18-74.
Thanks as always for your efforts. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Dave,
I hope the storm wasn't too bad on your end. Just one fairly large branch down at my house but otherwise we're in
pretty good shape.
Thanks for the RAI letter yesterday - received, and we are working on our response. We have also been incorporating
your comments below for the next round of delineation mapping. As such, I have attached the data and photos for the
ephemeral streams you requested to review via desktop below.
If you would, please review and let us know your thoughts on jurisdiction of these features?
Thanks for your continued assistance on this project! Have a great weekend.
Heather

Subject: RE: MVP Southgate: List of Ephemeral Streams attached for your review
Hi Heather.
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, but hopefully this email will be helpful in moving the JD/delineation
verification forward. I have itemized my responses below after reviewing the updated delineation maps you sent on
5/30/2019, the ephemeral stream information you sent on 6/14/2019, and our in -office meeting on 7/8/2019:
1. 1 do not see a need for additional Corps field verification of delineated potential waters of the US, and therefore
the Corps will not attend the field meeting you have scheduled for 7/26/2019. However, see the items below for
additional areas for your staff to evaluate in the field and provide information for Corps review;
2. Please remove from the delineation maps all ephemeral streams listed in the information you submitted on
6/14/2019 (see attached). The Corps does not consider these features to be potential waters of the US based on their
lack of consistency in displaying at least two indicators of ordinary high water mark;
3. Based on the data submitted on 5/30/2019, please also remove the following ephemeral features form the
delineation maps: S-1319-154, S-1319-155, S-A19-267, S-A19-276, S-1319-158, S-1318-119, S-1319-152, S-1319-162, and S-1319-
147. The Corps does not consider these features to be potential waters of the US based on their lack of consistency in
displaying at least two indicators of ordinary high water mark;
4. Please provide data for features S-A18-220, S-C18-39, S-C18-74, S-A18-1, S-A18-228, S-A18-232, S-A18-231, S-1318-
143, S-A18-123, S-A18-126, S-C18-4, S-C18-14, and S-A18-161. As above, this information will help determine whether or
not the Corps will consider these features potential waters of the US;
5. Distinguish via symbology on the map and in the legend those features that were removed by the Corps (i.e.
determined not to be potential waters of the US) based on field or office verification;
6. Distinguish on the maps which tracts have not been field reviewed at this time, whether or not any approximate
waters were identified on the maps;
Feature -specific notes are as follows:
a. S-1318-120: potential jurisdiction should start at flag 120-3
b. W-A19-268: this feature should extend to bank of S-C18-35. Further, there is no side tributary here through
W-A19-268, per field notes;
C. 5-18-1: it appears that this feature would be become potentially jurisdictional prior to its confluence with S-
A18-2 near MP 38.2, please evaluate in the field;
d. S-1318-72: it appears that the symbology is incorrect on the map. The potential jurisdiction should start at flag
7, and extend west to the corridor boundary. The section above (east) of flag 7 is not potentially jurisdictional.
e. S-A18-228/229/230: please double check to ensure that the symbology is correct for these 3 features. Also, it
appears that the flow regime should be perennial from the point where S-A18-228 has its confluence with S-A18-
229/230;
S-C18-78: this feature should be a wetland 8' wide, part of W-C18-77;
S-C18-79: there are two features labeled the same. Change one of them as all unique potentially jurisdictional
features must have unique labels;
h. S-A18-90: there are three features labeled the same. Add unique labels to two of them as all unique potentially
jurisdictional features must have unique labels;
i. S-A18-123: extend the intermittent section to its confluence with S-A18-125;
j. S-A18-129: begin at flag 11;
k. S-1318-10: change to intermittent;
I. S-A18-108: the ephemeral/intermittent symbology is reversed;
M. Field review topographic low areas at the following locations: between MPs 58.2/58.3, between MPs
58.4/58.5, and on either side of MP 65.1RR;
8. Once corrected, is it possible for you to send kmz/kml's or shapefiles of the updated Survey Area, Limits of
Construction ROW, and Temp Access Roads? It would also be helpful if you could send kmz/kml's or shapefiles of the
delineated waters;
9. Please note, once updated information of the above, and/or access is granted for existing red tracts to facilitate
field delineation, the Corps may request field verification of those areas.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] MVP Southgate: List of Ephemeral Streams attached for your review
Hi Dave,
I have posted a list of ephemeral streams along the NC portion of the MVP Southgate project in which we would like a
review and confirmation to remove them from the project route. Due to file size, the list is on the Sharepoint Site:

The stream data forms and photos are attached to the list, entitled "Ephemerals for USACOE Review.PDF". The sheet #'s
coincide with the March 2019 delineation supplement - also in the same folder for your reference.
I would be happy to meet and go over these in person, so we could look at these together with the mapping pulled
up/printed out. I am on vacation next week, but returning the week of the 24th.
Thank you!
