Windsor Solar Tract B
Investigation of Historical Extents of Hydric Soils
Bertie County, North Carolina
April 2017

Executive Summary
The sedimentation and erosion control permit obtained for construction of Windsor Solar
Tract B in 2013 depicts a linear wetland running roughly N-S through the central portion
of the tract. In 2017, onsite review of the site by the United States Army Corps of
Engineers determined that this wetland was significantly impacted by fill activities, most
prior or during construction. In addition to this central drainage, the on -site visit also
indicated possible presence of another impacted drainage in the southeastern corner of
Tract B.
Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) was contracted to perform a detailed soil investigation of
these two drainages to determine the extent and depth of the original (i.e. circa 2013)
hydric soils within these drainages. Using undisturbed soil probe collection procedures,
Carolina Ecosystems determined the depth of fill over the original soil surface and found
hydric soils in both drainages. Therefore, it is Carolina Ecosystems best professional
judgment that jurisdictional wetlands were likely filled in three separate areas,
approximately totaling 0.75 acre.
Project Understanding
Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) was contracted to complete a soil investigation of two
(2) drainages at the Windsor Solar Site Tract B (Site) (Figure 1:Vicinity Map and Figure
2:USGS Map). The Site was constructed in the 2013 — 2014 timeframe. The drainages
were identified by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources as potentially containing jurisdictional wetlands
buried by fill during an on -site review on February 16, 2017. The soil investigation was
conducted to determine if jurisdictional wetlands were likely filled in these 2 drainages
and the likely former extents of any jurisdictional wetlands found to have been filled.
Methodology
The two drainages which were the subject of this investigation will be referred to as the
central drainage and eastern drainage throughout this report (see Site Map). The central
drainage was found to have a wetland shown on a sediment and erosion control (S&EC)
permit application. That wetland will be referred to as the ERP wetland throughout this
report. The ERP wetland raised questions as to whether jurisdictional wetlands had been
filled on the site. During the site review, the USACE and the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources (NCDWR) also had concerns that the eastern drainage may have
contained wetlands which had been filled.
In an effort to determine if likely jurisdictional wetlands had been filled, CEI performed a
series of procedures to discover the likely extents of jurisdictional wetlands prior to site
development. Using property boundary information and contour/LIDAR data, the ERP
wetland was georeferenced to the best fit practicable. Since no wetland was previously
shown along the eastern drainage, an investigation area was developed using soils,
floodplain, LIDAR, and contour data (see Site Map). These datasets were created with
data produced prior to the construction of the site so that they may properly represent pre -
construction conditions.
Following the development of the area of investigation, CEI utilized GPS technology to
lay out the ERP wetland on the current ground surface using pin flags. Cross -sections
were established as the initial investigation areas. These cross -sections were established
to cross near perpendicular of the ERP wetland boundary and were placed on the more
accessible corridors within the solar field. Contour and LIDAR data was used to establish
cross -sections that should intersect with any buried wetlands along the eastern drainage.
Due to the site being an active solar field, the investigation had to work around the solar
panels as well as buried cables.
In preparation for the investigation, CEI performed soil profile descriptions above and
below the investigation area outside the fenced solar field. This work commenced on
April 12, 2017 and was done to document the undisturbed native soils and performed by
Dr. Vepraskas. These descriptions were performed on shallow pits dug with shovels. The
descriptions were collected to aid on determining when the original soil surface was
encountered below the fill and is further discussed in the Soil Results section of this
report.
A geoprobe unit was then utilized to collect undisturbed cores in each cross-section by a
certified well driller. Each core was placed in a tray for analysis immediately after
collection. Every core was reviewed in detail to determine the depth of fill to the original
soil surface and whether it met or did not meet a hydric indicator. Each boring location
was collected by GPS and each sample was labeled and photographed. Additionally, at
least one profile description of the buried soil was obtained for the hydric and the non-
hydric soil found at each cross-section. Following the hydric determination of a core, the
next boring location was then established based on the need to move away or toward the
likely wetland area. Therefore, boring locations were determined based on all of the
information gathered from each core in real time. This gave the ability to close in on the
actual buried wetland boundary. Once a boundary was established, a flag was placed at
that location and collected using GPS. Following the initial cross-section work, some
areas were deemed to need additional information. Therefore, targeted locations between
the solar panels were then identified and cores were collected to improve the wetland
boundary resolution in those areas. In the case of the eastern drainage, two separate
wetlands with a break in between were found to exist. This required many additional
cores to determine the ending limits of both wetlands. All cores were analyzed by Dr.
Vepraskas on site.
Soil Results
Soils at the Site
Two soils were mapped by the USDA-NRCS within the investigation area: Craven fine
sandy loam, and Leaf loam. Both soils have loamy surface layers (A and E horizons) and
subsoil layers (Bt or Big horizons) that are clay or silty clay in texture (Figure 3 NRCS
Map). The soils differ primarily in the color of their subsoil layers. Subsoils in the
Craven soil are brownish yellow with Munsell chromas of 4 to 6 within 20 inches of the
soil surface. Subsoil colors in the Leaf soil are gray to grayish brown with Munsell
chromas of 2 or less within 20 inches of the surface.
In addition to the Craven and Leaf soils, the soil investigation found two other soils that
occur in portions of the site. The Wehadkee sandy loam has loamy surface layers with
subsoil layers ranging from sandy loam to sandy clay loam. Soil matrix colors in all
layers are gray to dark gray with Munsell values of 4 or more and chromas of two or less.
The Chewacla sandy loam has surface and subsurface layers with textures similar to
those of the Wehadkee, but the color of the Chewacla subsoil is yellowish brown or dark
yellowish brown, with Munsell values of 4 or more and chromas of 4 or more, within 20
inches of the surface.
Characteristics of Hydric Soils at the Site
The USDA has defined the "Hydric Soil Field Indicators" to identify hydric soils across
the U.S. Three field indicators were found at the site and they have been named: Depleted
Matrix, Umbric Surface, and Depleted Below Dark Surface.
The "Depleted Matrix" field indicator is defined as: "A layer that has a depleted matrix
[feature] with 60 percent or more chroma of 2 or less and that has a minimum thickness
of either: a) 2 inches if the 2 inches is entirely within the upper 6 inches of the soils, or b)
6 inches, starting within 10 inches of the soil surface. The depleted matrix feature
requires a Munsell value of 4 or more along with a chroma of 2 or less as the matrix
color. Reddish mottles (also called redox concentrations) are also required if the depleted
matrix layer is within an A or E horizon, or if the matrix color has Munsell values of 4
with chromas of 1 or 2, or a Munsell value of 5 with a chroma of 2.
The "Umbric Surface" (referred to as F13) field indicator is defined as a layer of soil
whose matrix color has a Munsell value of 3 or less and chroma 2 or less starting within 6
inches of the soil surface, and this layer is at least 6 inches thick. There must also be a 4
inch thick layer directly below with a matrix chroma of 2 or less.
The "Depleted Below Dark Surface" (referred to as All) field indicator is essentially a
combination of both the depleted matrix and umbric surface field indicators with some
modifications. This field indicator requires the depleted matrix feature start within 12
inches of the surface. Above the depleted matrix the soil matrix must have a Munsell
value of 3 or less and chroma 2 or less.
Findings from Reconnaissance Soil Borings Made Outside the Filled Area
Prior to making any soil borings in the filled area of the site, an examination of soils at
reference areas using a hand auger or shovel to expose soil profiles and describe them
was made. This was completed in order to identify the soils and their properties that were
likely to be found within the filled area. Two borings were made in the unfilled flood
plain at the lower end of the eastern drainage. One additional boring was made at the
outlet of an old culvert below the central drainage. Three other borings were made along
the outside of the fenced area above the central and eastern drainages within
approximately 30 feet of the fence.
These observations showed that the Wehadkee and Chewacla soils were on and near the
flood plain. The Craven and Leaf soils were around the filled area of the site as indicated
on the USDA soil map. The Leaf and Wehadkee soils met the Depleted Matrix field
indicator and were hydric. The Craven and Chewacla soils met no field indicator and
were considered non-hydric. See the Soil Profile Description and Photo appendices for
additional information.
Findings from Soil Borings Within the Filled Area
The average thickness of the fill across the site was determined to be 48 inches. The
variation in fill depth ranged from 7 to 171 inches across individual core locations. Fill
thickness was determined by measuring the depth from the top of the fill to the top of the
original soil surface. The original soil surface below the fill was identified in most cases
as the top of the A horizon (natural topsoil), whose color ranged from black to very dark
grayish brown. It was visible as a distinct layer of uniform color, ranging from 1 to 10
inches thick, and which was devoid of large wood fragments. In addition, the subsoil
layers below the A horizon were carefully examined to ensure they met the color and
texture requirements for one of the four soils determined to be present at the site. This
method for determining the original soil surface worked well for all but one core location.
That core had no distinct A horizon, possibly because it had been scraped off during the
filling operation. Profile descriptions made for selected cores showed that Craven and
Leaf soils were found at most transect locations. Wehadkee and Chewacla soils were
found in the southeastern portion of the site.
The most common hydric soil field indicator across the site was the "Depleted Matrix".
The "Umbric Surface" field indicator was found in two transects, and the "Depleted
Below Dark Surface" indicator was found in one transect. The field indicators were
identified initially from the soil profile descriptions. The soil layers meeting the field
indicators met the color, thickness, and depths required for the indicators. Depths were
measured from the top of the A horizon that was identified at the bottom of the fill.
The boundaries of the original wetlands at the site can be identified by the properties of
the buried soils that lie beneath the fill. Wetlands at the site contain Leaf and to a lesser
extent Wehadkee soils. These soils contain common hydric soil field indicators found in
the region and were identified in the buried soils. See the Soil Profile Description and
Photo appendices for additional information.
Estimation of Historical Jurisdictional Wetland Boundaries
A total of 89 soil borings were collected and assessed in detail to determine the likely
wetland extents. Buried hydric soils were found that matched the soil profile descriptions
of the native soils surrounding the impact area. Therefore, it is believed that the central
and eastern drainages of the Site did contain jurisdictional wetlands prior to construction
activities. The central drainage contains one (WA) continuous wetland and the eastern
drainage contains two smaller wetlands (WB and WC). WB is located at the top of the
drainage and WC is located at the bottom of the drainage and located within the
floodplain of the Cashie River.
To establish the extents of the jurisdictional wetlands, the boring data was first prioritized
as primary boundary markers. Between each cross-section, several methods were
assessed to determine the most appropriate way to establish a wetland boundary. It was
determined that the ERP wetland boundary was mostly accurate with only minor
deviations from the boring results. However, the eastern drainage did not have a previous
wetland delineation to review so other methods were necessary to supplement the boring
data to create a complete wetland boundary map. In areas between borings, a review of
contour, LIDAR, and floodplain data was utilized to establish the wetland boundary
between borings. The use of the ERP wetland on the central drainage was also analyzed,
but several borings did not match up with the ERP wetland so CEI determined that it was
likely more accurate to use LIDAR and contour data to shape the wetland boundary in
most instances. However, the ERP wetland was used along the northern boundary of the
central drainage. This was done as there is little to no fill in this area and a surface level
delineation in 2016 showed that a current wetland is larger than the ERP wetland (Figure
4 Site Map). However, based on site conditions during the soil investigation, CEI
believes that the 2016 delineation may have been slightly enlarged due to soil being
pushed around and the ERP wetland boundary was likely more in line with what existed
prior to construction. Since the original surface is not buried in this northern portion of
the central drainage, it is not possible to know for sure if the 2016 delineation was correct
prior to construction or if the ERP wetland was more accurate, CEI believes that the ERP
wetland would be more appropriate since the boring data showed that the ERP wetland
was mostly accurate. It is important to note that Carolina Ecosystems could not perform a
standard evaluation for wetlands which involves the review of vegetation, hydrology and
soils. Due to current site conditions, evaluation of vegetation and hydrology that would
have existed in 2013 was not possible. Therefore, wetland vegetation and wetland
hydrology were assumed where hydric soils were found. Based on these procedures and
the determination of hydric soils, CEI has produced a proposed former jurisdictional
wetland extent map. Please note that some portions of the wetlands along the edge of the
property boundary are still in existence and would probably not be considered to be in an
impacted state. The attached map (Figure 5) is therefore the proposed wetland map for
determination of former jurisdictional wetland extents on the Site.
