INTRODUCTION & SITE DESCRIPTION
Ground Truth Soil Consulting, PLLC (Ground Truth) was employed to complete a
Jurisdictional Feature Delineation within the project study area located on the south side of
Roberts Road in Newport, Carteret County, NC (PIN: 632804716795000). The project study
area consists of approximately 27 acres and is shown in red on Figures 2 and 3.
INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY
The field survey was conducted in June 2021, by John C. Roberts, LSS. The jurisdictional
delineation was performed using the three -parameter approach as prescribed in the 1987 US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental
Laboratory 1987). The Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) was also utilized. Hydric soil
determinations were made using Field Indicators of the Hydric Soils in the United States,
Version 8.2 (2018).
FINDINGS
Jurisdictional wetlands were identified on the property (Figures 2 - 3). A site visit with Army
Corp of Engineers (ACOE) representative Thomas Charles was completed on August 6,
2021. The jurisdictional features shown in the attached figures were confirmed by Mr.
Charles. Correspondence with NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) representative
Holley Snider was completed in regard to the isolated pond feature. Mrs. Snider confirmed
DWR would not regulate the expansion of the isolated pond feature. Correspondences from
both Mr. Charles and Ms. Snider are appended. It is highly recommended that development
of this property is completed without any impacts to the jurisdictional features.
CONCLUSIONS
Jurisdictional features were identified within the project study area and confirmed by the
ACOE. Site work is not expected to include the ACOE's jurisdiction if required setbacks are
maintained from jurisdictional features. Extreme care should be taken to not impact or
disturb any jurisdictional feature. Site work should only be conducted within those areas
allowed based on required setbacks. Please note that no site work is expected north of the
jurisdictional ditch shown in Figures 2 and 3.

Good afternoon Tom. Thanks again for meeting with me last Friday. As we discussed, the sand mining operation will
maintain a 50-ft buffer from the wetland delineation line referenced on the attached figures.
Holley - Tom and I agreed the pond is isolated. Last we spoke you were fine with the operator expanding the footprint of
the pond. Can you please confirm this?
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best
John
