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.

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 Page 2 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. Table 1. Soils in the Study Area Soil Series Mapping Drainage Class Hydric Status Unit Urban Land Ur - Non-H dric 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. Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package Industrial Drive — Crabtree Creek Greenway Timmons Group August 2021 Page 3 Table 2. Delineated Area Summary Area PFO PSS PEM POW R3 R4 R6 Ditch Description (sq.ft.) (sq.ft.) (sq.ft.) (sq.ft.) Streams Streams Streams (I.f.) A 17 B 49 TOTAL 49 17 Notes: 1) PFO = palustrine forest wetlands, PSS = palustrine scrub -shrub wetlands, PEM = palustrine emergent wetlands, R3 = upper perennial streams, R4 = intermittent streams, R6 = ephemeral streams, and I.f. = linear feet. 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. Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package Industrial Drive — Crabtree Creek Greenway Timmons Group August 2021 Page 4 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.

Version: May 2017 Page 3 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 Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. Size of Property or Review Area 0.99 acres. ❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

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: SUPPORTING DATA.

Notes: PSA taken within a ditch flowing into a culvert to Crabtree Creek. Soils: 10YR 4/2 w/ 15% 10YR 5/8 Sketch: Microstegium vimineum was located in <20% of the streambed. 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. else&* • 1 a TIMMONS GROUP YOUR VISION ACHIEVED THROUGH OURS.
