MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Department of the Army Memorandum Documenting General Permit Verification
1.0 Introduction and overview: Information about the proposal subject to one or more of the
Corps regulatory authorities is provided in Section 1, detailed evaluation of the activity is found
in Sections 2 through 4 and findings are documented in Section 5 of this memorandum.
Further, summary information about the activity including administrative history of actions
taken during project evaluation is attached (ORM2 summary).
1.1 Applicant name: Wellspring Carolina Investments, LLC, Mark Boyce
1.2 Activity location: Latitude: 35.167008 Longitude:-80.587506 Location description: The review
area is located on the north side of Fairview Road; approximately 0.6 miles west of the
intersection of Fairview Road and Mill Grove Road. PIN: 08279004. Reference review
area description shown in Pre -Construction Notification entitled "USGS Topographic
Map" and Printed Date of 11/19/2018.
1.3 Description of activity requiring verification: This verification would authorize the permanent
impacts to 141 linear feet of intermittent stream channel and 0.03 acres of wetland to
facilitate the development of a single-family residential development. The permanent
stream impacts for the residential development are associated with two road crossings
and the wetland impacts are associated with grading and discharge of fill material for
Lot No. 15.
1.4 Is this an After -the -Fact verification? No.
1.5 Date PCN determined complete for processing: 4/26/2019
1.6 Jurisdiction Determination completed? A Preliminary JD was completed on 9/11/2019.
1.7 Permit authority: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344)
1.8 Applicable Permit: NWP 29. Residential Developments
1.9 Activity requires written waiver of NWP limits? No.
1.10 Activity requires a waiver from the requirements of a regional condition(s)? No.
2.0 Evaluation of the Pre -Construction Notification
2.1 Direct and indirect effects caused by the GP activity: The direct effects of the proposed
activity in waters would include the loss of jurisdictional waters (as specified in Section
1.3) and their associated aquatic resource functions. The proposed activity also has the
potential to result in indirect effects to waters including excess sedimentation in
downstream waters, disruption and/or killing of aquatic life in the direct vicinity of the
project area, increase of downstream flows, and blocking/restricting aquatic life
passage transiting in and through the project area. These indirect effects are expected
to be minimal due to design criteria and Best Management Practices (BMPs) required by
Nationwide Permit General and Regional Conditions. Additionally, indirect effects would
SAW-2019-00553
be further reduced through the implementation of BMPs required by state, local, and
Federal ordinances and regulations.
2.2 Site specific factors: The review area consists of a relatively mature mixed (i.e., hardwood
and pine) forest.
2.3 Coordination
2.3.1 Was the PCN coordinated with other agencies? No.
Agency coordination with the USFWS is required for the Northern Long Eared Bat.
However, the Corps is not required to wait for a response from the USFWS Asheville
Office in accordance with local procedures.
2.3.2 Was the PCN coordinated with other Corps offices? No.
2.4 Mitigation
2.4.1 Provide brief description of how the activity has been designed on -site to avoid and minimize
adverse effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States to the
maximum extent practicable at the project site -The applicant provided a detailed statement
describing their efforts to avoid and minimized impacts to waters of the United States
on the project site in the preconstruction notification. Based on this information, the
Corps believes the applicant has avoid and minimized impacts to waters of the United
State to the maximum extent practicable.
2.4.2 Is compensatory mitigation required for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources
to reduce the individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects to a minimal level?
No.
Provide rationale: No compensatory mitigation is required because the applicant has
minimized impacts and the loss of stream channel associated with the activity is less
than 150 linear feet. There are no specific circumstances that would warrant
compensatory mitigation.
3.0 Compliance with Other Laws, Policies and Requirements
3.1 Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
3.1.1 ESA action area: The action area includes the waters of the United States that will be
directly affected by the proposed work or structures and uplands directly affected as a
result of authorizing the work or structures.
3.1.2 Has another federal agency taken steps to document compliance with Section 7 of the ESA
and completed consultation(s) as required? No.
3.1.3 Known species/critical habitat present? Yes.
IPAC Species in Union County:
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata)- Endangered
Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni)- Proposed Threatened
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii)- Endangered
SAW-2019-00553
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii)- Endangered
Ravine sedge (Carex impressinervia)- Under Review
Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus)- Under Review
Effect determination (s), including no effect, for all known species/habitat, and basis for
determination(s): The Corps has determined that the activity may affect, but is not likely
to adversely affect species subject to the ESA.
Based on the latest version of the Natural Heritage Program's NHEO data and a site
visit, there are listed species located within or in the vicinity of the action area and this
activity is one that may affect those listed species.
3.1.4 Consultation with either the National Marine Fisheries Service and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service was initiated and completed as required, for any determinations other than "no effect"
(see the attached "Summary" sheet for begin date, end date and closure method of the
consultation). Consultation was initiated with the USFWS on May 16, 2019 and on May 21,
2019, the USFWS concurred with the Corps determination of "may affect not likely to
adversely affect" the Carolina Heelsplitter or its critical habitat. Based on a review of the
information above, the Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its responsibilities under
Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA.
3.2 Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Essential Fish Habitat
(EFH) The NWPs/RGPs were coordinated with the NMFS during the permit renewal
process. NMFS coordination/EFH consultation is required if the activity affects SAV.
This activity does not affect SAV. Therefore, NMFS coordination/EFH consultation has
been completed.
3.2.1 Has another federal agency taken steps to comply with EFH provisions of Magnuson -Stevens
Act? No.
3.2.2 Did the proposed project require review under the Magnuson -Stevens Act? No. No. See
Section 3.2 above.
3.3 Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106)
3.3.1 Section 106 permit area -The permit area includes those areas comprising waters of the United
States that will be directly affected by the proposed work or structures, as well as activities
outside of waters of the U.S. because all three tests identified in 33 CFR 325, Appendix
C(g)(1) have been met.
Final description of the permit area: All three test have been met and portions of the larger
project undertaken outside of waters of the U.S. are in the permit area. Activities
undertaken outside WOUS are included in the permit area because those activities are
directly associated and integrally related with the authorized work and those activities
would not occur but for the authorization of the work within the WOUS.
3.3.2 Has another federal agency taken steps to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and completed consultation(s) as required? No.
3.3.3 Known cultural resource sites present and/or survey or other additional information needed?
No. Based on the NCDCR "HPOWEB" service and aerial photographs, there are no
SAW-2019-00553
known historic properties located in the permit area or in close proximity to the permit
area.
Effect determination and basis for that determination: The Corps has determined the
proposed activity has no potential to cause effects to properties listed or eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic Places, because the project is located in areas
that have been extensively modified. This activity is so limited in nature and scope that
there is little likelihood of impinging upon a historic property even if such properties
were present within the affected area(s).
3.3.4 Consultation was initiated and completed as required with the appropriate agencies, tribes
and/or other parties for any determinations other than "no potential to cause effects" (see the
attached "Summary" sheet for consultation type, begin date, end date and closure method of
the consultation). The Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its responsibilities under
Section 106 of the NHPA.
3.4 Tribal Trust Responsibilities
3.4.1 Was government -to -government consultation conducted with Federally -recognized Tribe(s)?
No. There are no known tribal interests in the project area.
Provide a description of any consultation(s) conducted including results and how concerns
about significant effects to protected tribal resources, tribal rights and/or Indian lands were
addressed. The Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its tribal trust responsibilities.
3.4.2 Other Tribal including any discussion of Tribal Treaty rights? N/A
3.5 Section 401 of the Clean Water Act — Water Quality Certification (WQC)
3.5.1 Is a Section 401 WQC required, and if so, has the certification been issued or waived? An
individual water quality certification is required, and has not been issued or waived to
date. A provisional general permit will be verified for this activity.
3.6 Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)
3.6.1 Is a CZMA consistency concurrence required, and if so, has the concurrence been issued,
waived or presumed? N/A, a CZMA consistency concurrence is not required.
3.7 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
3.7.1 Is the projectlocated in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system?
No. According to http://www.rivers.gov, the proposed project area is not within a
designated or study river.
3.8 Effects on Corps Civil Works Projects (33 USC 408)
3.8.1 Does the applicant also require permission under Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33
USC 408) because the activity, in whole or in part, would alter, occupy, or use a Corps Civil
Works project? No, there are no Corps Civil Works project(s) in or near the vicinity of the
proposal.
SAW-2019-00553
4.0 Special Conditions
4.1 Are special conditions required to ensure minimal effects, protect the public interest and/or
ensure compliance of the activity with any of the laws above? No.
If no, provide rationale: The terms and conditions of the general permit are sufficient to
ensure no more than minimal adverse effects, and no conditions are needed for
compliance with other laws or to protect the public interest.
5.0 Determination
5.1 Waiver request conclusion, if required or select N/A: N/A.
5.2 The activity will result in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse effects on
the aquatic environment and will not be contrary to the public interest.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved 7D (AID) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of 7Ds and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
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 AID for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit
applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AID
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AID could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or
different special conditions; (3) 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) 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)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AID
constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (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 PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area
affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives 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 AID
or a PJD, the 7D will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AID, 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. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over
aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic
resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AID to accomplish that result, as soon as is
practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"
navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the
review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
