Timmons Group Project No. 42219.006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On behalf of the City of Raleigh, NC, Timmons Group Environmental Technicians Kate
Hefner and Jackson Denton conducted a field delineation on July 21, 2021 to identify potential
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) within the study limits of the Industrial Drive — Crabtree
Creek Greenway project (Site).
The Site encompasses approximately 0.99 acres and is located in Raleigh, North Carolina
within Wake County (See Figure 1: Vicinity Map). The Site is bound by commercial development
to the north, Crabtree Creek and commercial development to the south, and to the east and west
by commercial development and forested areas. The Site is located within the Piedmont
Physiographic Province.
The Site is occupied by mixed hardwood forest, a maintained grassy corridor, Crabtree
Creek Greenway Trail, and Crabtree Creek. In addition, no wetland and one stream feature
(Crabtree Creek) was found within the Site (See Figure 6: Wetlands and Waters Delineation Map).
The Site is located within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 030202010804; Figure 3: Hydrologic Unit
Code Map). Surface water on -Site drains generally to the south and eventually into Crabtree
Creek. According to the FEMA FIRM Panel #3720171500J (effective date 5/2/2006) the site is
located within Zone AE, which is a floodway, with base flood elevations ranging from 211.6 to 211
feet above mean sea level.
The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual; the Regional Supplement to the
USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement
(Version 2.0) and subsequently issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of
jurisdictional stream channels through the recognition of field indicators of an ordinary high-water
mark within drainage features (Environmental Laboratory, 1987; USACE 2012; USACE 2005). In
addition, streams were delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and
Perennial Streams and Their Origins (Version 4.11). Using these methodologies, preliminary
delineation mapping was produced and is included along with the attached Site description and
discussion for your review. Flagging or marking of the WOTUS and wetland boundaries was
conducted in the field during this effort. During our delineation, portions of one perennial stream
totaling approximately 49 linear feet and one man-made ditch segment totaling 17 linear feet were
identified within the Site. In addition, no wetland areas were identified within the Site.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the City of Raleigh, NC, Timmons Group Environmental Technicians Kate
Hefner and Jackson Denton conducted a field delineation on July 21, 2021 to identify potential
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) within the study limits of the Industrial Drive — Crabtree
Creek Greenway project (Site).
3.0 SITE INFORMATION
3.1 Site Location
The Site encompasses approximately 0.99 acres and is located in Raleigh, North Carolina
within Wake County (See Figure 1: Vicinity Map). The Site is bound by commercial development
to the north, Crabtree Creek and commercial development to the south, and to the east and west
by commercial development and forested areas. The Site is located within the Piedmont
Physiographic Province.
3.2 Site Description
The Site is occupied by mixed hardwood forest, a maintained grassy corridor, Crabtree
Creek Greenway Trail, and Crabtree Creek. In addition, no wetland and one stream feature
(Crabtree Creek) was found within the Site (See Figure 6: Wetlands and Waters Delineation Map).
The Site is located within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 030202010804; Figure 3: Hydrologic Unit
Code Map). Surface water on -Site drains generally to the south and eventually into Crabtree
Creek. According to the FEMA FIRM Panel #3720171500J (effective date 5/2/2006) the site is
located within Zone AE, which is a floodway, with base flood elevations ranging from 211.6 to 211
feet above mean sea level.
4.0 METHODS OF DELINEATION
4.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review
A review of publicly available resources was performed prior to the onsite field
investigation to determine if there is the potential for jurisdictional areas, and if present, the extent
of these areas located within the Site. These mapping resources generally include, but are not
limited to, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils database, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database.
4.2 Field Investigation
The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual; the Regional Supplement to the
Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package
Industrial Drive — Crabtree Creek Greenway
Timmons Group
August 2021

USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement
(Version 2.0) and subsequently issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of
jurisdictional stream channels through the recognition of field indicators of an ordinary high-water
mark within drainage features (Environmental Laboratory, 1987; USACE 2012; USACE 2005). In
addition, streams were delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and
Perennial Streams and Their Origins (Version 4.11). The wetland boundary was flagged with
consecutively numbered pink and black ribbon at approximately 50-foot intervals, with distances
reduced in areas of low visibility. Field data stations were established within proximity to the
flagged wetland boundaries, usually within 10 to 20 feet, to document upland and wetland
conditions existing along the jurisdictional boundary. Field data stations were labeled and marked
with blue flagging in the field. Features identified in the field were GPS located for the Site.
5.0 DELINEATION FINDINGS
5.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review Findings
Based on a review of the USGS topographic map, elevations at the Site range from 190
to 200 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The USGS topographic map, the NWI map, and the
NRCS soil survey depict one stream on the southern section of the site running west to east (See
Figure 1: Vicinity Map, Figure 3: Environmental Inventory Map, and Figure 5: NRCS Soil Survey
Map).
The NRCS Web Soil Survey for Wake County identifies one soil mapping unit within the
study area (see Table 1. Soils in the Study Area). The soil type within the Site, Urban (Ur), is
identified as non-hydric. No hydric soil types were identified within the Site.

5.2 Onsite Determination/Findings
5.2.1 Jurisdictional Area Summary
No potentially jurisdictional wetlands and one jurisdictional stream (Feature B) were
identified within the Site. Additionally, one man-made ditch feature was identified (Feature A). A
summary of the delineated areas identified on -Site is provided below in Table 2. Delineated Area
Summary. The location and size of the features delineated on -Site is shown on Figure 6: Wetlands
and Waters Delineation Map.

2)
Delineated area acreages are preliminary based on field delineation and have not been
confirmed or surveyed.
5.2.1.1 Delineated Area Vegetation
No jurisdictional wetland features or hydrophytic vegetation were identified within the Site. Canopy
and understory layers were dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum), boxelder (Acer negundo),
pignut hickory (Carya glabra), American ash (Fraxinus americana), and hackberry (Celtis
occidentalis). The herbaceous and woody vine layers were dominated by Japanese stiltgrass
(Microstegium vimineum), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), deer -tongue grass (Dichanthelium
clandestinum), and kudzu (Pueraria montana). Other species observed included jewelweed
(Impatiens capensis), lady's thumb (Persicaria maculosa), and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica).
5.2.1.2 Delineated Area Hydrology
No wetlands were identified within the Site. However, primary wetland hydrology indicators
observed within the Site include: Surface Water (Al), High Water Table (A2), Saturation (A3), and
Iron Deposits (135). Secondary indicators include: Drainage Patterns (1310), Geomorphic Position
(D2), and FAC-Neutral Test (D5).
At the time of on -site field investigation, surface water, was not present in the areas where
data was taken. In some locations, saturation was observed at 0 inches below the soil surface
and the water table was observed at 8 inches below the soil surface.
5.2.1.3 Delineated Area Soils
No hydric soils were identified within the Site and no indicators of hydric soil were
observed.

5.2.2 Upland Area Summary
Most of the upland areas located within the Site are characterized as mixed hardwood
forest and maintained grassy corridors (see Figure 3: Environmental Inventory Map). Upland soils
were typically light brown (2.5Y 5/4, 10YR 5/4) from 0 to 6 inches below the soil surface. Upland
soils were typically brown (10YR 4/3) from 6 to 24 inches below the soil surface. Some
redoximorphic features or soil depletions were found within upland soils which lacked hydrology
and/or vegetation and/or otherwise did not meet hydric soil criteria. Soil textures were primarily
loamy sands. The mapped soils present within the Site are depicted on Figure 3: Environmental
Inventory Map and Figure 5: NRCS Map. No indicators of wetland hydrology were observed within
the upland areas.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
W1I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS

Section 404
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 JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs 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 AJD 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 AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD 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 AJD 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 AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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 AJD 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:

APPENDIX D
Vintage Road/Industrial Drive Trail Connect
Culvert located in a ditch on the opposite side of
the Crabtree Creek Trail. Water flows under the trail
between Crabtree creek and a ditch leading offsite.
View of Crabtree Creek from the upper bank.
Crabtree Creek runs the southern border of the
site. The banks are heavily eroded and unstable.
The Crabtree Creek Trail runs from West to East
throughout the site boundary. The area shown was
evaluated and determined to not be a wetland.
Rip rap present in the ditch leading offsite.
Vegetation on the upper banks of the ditch.
Ditch connected to the culvert, characterized by
woody debris and standing water, This area was
not a wetland.
