Energy Renewal
PARTNERS,LLC
On behalf of FLS Energy, Inc., we are submitting this Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) application for
temporary and permanent impacts to waters of the U.S. including wetlands from three culvert
installations at the proposed Sun Devil Solar Project for a site access roadway. The project will result in
the loss of 117 linear feet of stream and less than 0.04 acre of permanent impacts to waters of the U.S.
including wetland and stream habitat. Per the requirements of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE)
and the Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Certification 3886,
this PCN is being submitted to the NCDWQ and USACE for approval.
Proiect Information
The project site is approximately 29 acres located approximately 2.75 miles west of Littleton, NC on the
north of Highway 158 and west of Bobbitt Road (Warren County PINS 3907 -28 -7373, 3908 -30 -0526,
3908 -30 -6572, and 3908 -31- 2785). The site consists of approximately 23 acres of dense woodland with
an approximately 5,400 -foot planned road easement with variable land cover, including approximately
2,000 feet of cleared land along the northernmost extent, approximately 1,600 feet of an overgrown
previously cleared corridor along an old berm, a small stretch of approximately 150 feet of woodlands,
and a second previously cleared easement with pockets of shrub /scrub vegetation along the southern
approximately 1,600 feet nearest the project area. The project access easement was designed from the
north after the original planned access from the south, across the Seaboard Coast Railroad easement

Sun Devil Solar Project
was denied by the railroad. The proposed project consists of a 5 megawatt (MW) solar energy facility
which will deliver renewable energy to the local utility grid.
Jurisdictional Waters
The planned roadway access easement of the project includes three jurisdictional crossings (Figure 1),
where the planned route intersects two jurisdictional stream crossings (S1 and S2), one of which
coincides with a wetland (WA /S2), and a wetland only crossing (WB). Crossing 1 corresponds to stream
S1, Crossing 2 corresponds to wetland WB, and Crossing 3 corresponds to both stream S2 and wetland
WA (Figure 1). The two jurisdictional streams are unnamed tributaries to Big Stone House Creek and run
from east to west through the planned access easement of the project (Figure 2). The streams cross
oriented roughly perpendicular the easement, approximately 137 linear feet, and averages 5.25 feet
wide. Stream S1 is a perennial stream with a defined bed and bank with clear evidence of an ordinary
high water mark. The stream has been channelized and is nearly straight through the property. Stream
S2 is an intermittent stream with defined bed and bank and evidence of an ordinary high water mark.
Additionally, two swale wetlands (WA and WB) are located along the planned project easement. No
other jurisdictional waters of the US, including wetlands, were noted on the site.
Summary of Proposed Impacts
In order to access the site, a road will be installed with a 66" diameter culvert in S1 and 24" diameter
culverts in S2 and WB. Rip rap will be keyed in on either side of the culverts for stabilization. Coffer
dams will be temporarily installed on either side of the culverts in S1 and S2 to allow for work in the dry.

The number and width of the crossings have been limited to the bare minimum to safely construct and
operate the solar farm. Road crossings were designed perpendicular to the stream to minimize impacts.
The project construction, including the installation of the culverts, will be completed in accordance with
state and federal regulations, including the NCDWQ Stormwater rules and Nationwide and Regional
Conditions (Nationwide and Regional).

1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The road crossings are necessary to access and maintain the site. The number and width of the crossings have been limited to the bare minimum to
safely construct and operate the solar farm The original access route crossed two wetlands and one stream that now are being avoided by the longer
proposed route along an upland ridge. Road crossings were designed perpendicular to streams to minimize impacts.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
A Sediment and Erosion Control Plan developed for the Site will include the implementation of silt fencing, temporary coffer dams and energy
dissipators. These measures will be utilized to perform work in dry conditions. Instream work will be minimized and work will be conducted in uplands
as practicably practical. Pre - fabricated culverts will be placed into streams complete to minimize impacts Coffer dams will be removed after
construction is complete.

E2d. Stormwater Management Plan Description
The amount of disturbed acreage permitted is for the entire site, 41.5 acres. The actual disturbed
area will be much less and limited to the areas required to install the solar panel posts in the
ground by mechanical methods, installation of the panels on the posts, and trenching to install
electrical conduit. Access to the internal portions of the site will be around the perimeter of the
site. If any rutting or land disturbance occurs on these access drives, it will be stabilized and timber
logging mats placed in these locations. No drainage patterns are being changed with this project.
Stormwater will primarily be treated through overland sheet flow across herbaceous ground cover.
The total new impervious area of 103,068 square feet (1.30% of the site) will be spread out across
the entire project area with no more than 41,247 square feet in any drainage area. Therefore, the
site is a low density development. As such, the development will have minimal impact on the
downstream properties.

Reference: Limited NEPA Assessment
Sun Devil Solar Farm
US Highway 158
Littleton, Warren County, NC
PEI Project No. 1358
Dear Mr. Ness:
Pilot Environmental, Inc. (PEI) is pleased to submit this report of the Limited NEPA Assessment
for the approximate 25 acre tract located north of US Highway 158 in Littleton, Warren County,
North Carolina. A U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map (Drawing 1) and a 2012 aerial
photograph (Drawing 2) of the site are included as attachments.
Background
Congress passed the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1973. The purpose of the ESA is to protect
and recover imperiled species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. It is administered
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Commerce Department's National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). The USFWS has primary responsibility for terrestrial and freshwater
organisms, while the responsibilities of the Commerce Departments NMFS are mainly marine
wildlife. Under the ESA, federally protected species may be listed as either endangered or
threatened. "Endangered" means a species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a
significant portion of its range. "Threatened" means a species is likely to become endangered
within the foreseeable future. All species of plants and animals, except pest insects, are eligible
for listing as endangered or threatened. For the purposes of the ESA, Congress defined species
to include subspecies, varieties, and, for vertebrates, distinct population segments.
Scope of Services
PEI was contracted to perform a Limited NEPA Assessment for the site located north of US
Highway 158 in Littleton, Warren County, North Carolina. The site is an approximate 25 acre
parcel identified by the Warren County Geographical Information Systems (GIS) website as Parcel
Identification Number (PIN) 3907 -28 -7373. The site is being evaluated for proposed development
PO Box 128, Kernersville, NC 27285
www. Xom
Limited NEPA Assessment
PEI Project No. 1358
March 6, 2015
with a solar farm. The purpose of the Limited NEPA Assessment is to identify the potential for
impact to federally listed threatened and endangered species. The scope of services included a
field reconnaissance, a review of available literature and a submittal of relevant site information
to solicit comments from the USFWS. The site boundaries were not surveyed at the time of our
field evaluation.
Site Reconnaissance
PEI conducted a site visit on December 19, 2014. The site contains wooded land and remnants
of a single family residence on the central portion of the site. A former logging road crosses the
central portion of the site and an overhead power line easement bounds the site to the north.
The wooded land consists of primarily planted loblolly pine that ranges from 8 to 16 inches
diameter at beast height (DBH). Few scattered hardwood species including sweet gum, red
maple and various oak species are located in the wooded areas. Fire cut lines containing dense
sapling /herbaceous vegetation crosses wooded areas of the site. Moderate to mostly open mid
and under story canopy cover is present in the majority of the wooded areas located on the site.
PEI has conducted a stream /wetland delineation on the site. Based on the stream /wetland
delineation, jurisdictional features are not located on the site. The site has not been verified by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Species /Habitat Description
Bald Eaele (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Description: The Bald Eagle is a regulated species underthe Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
(BGPA). Bald Eagles were removed from the federal list of threatened and endangered species
on August 9, 2007, and are no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act. However,
Bald Eagles remain protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act. The Bald and Golden Eagle Act prohibits anyone from taking, possessing, or
transporting a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) or Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysoetos), or the
parts, nests, or eggs.of such birds without prior authorization. This includes inactive nests as well
as active nests. Take means to pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect,
destroy, molest, or disturb. Activities that directly or indirectly lead to take are prohibited without
a permit.
A large raptor (bird of prey), the bald eagle has a wingspread of 5% to 8 feet. Adults have a dark
brown body and wings, white head and tail, and a yellow beak. In flight, the bald eagle often
soars or glides with the wings held at a right angle to the body. Juvenile bald eagles have mottled
brown and white plumage, gradually acquiring their dark brown body and distinctive white head
and tail as they mature. Bald eagles generally attain adult plumage by 5 years of age. Adults weigh
8 to 14 pounds, occasionally reaching 16 pounds in Alaska. Those in the northern range grow
larger than those in the south, and females are somewhat larger than males.
Habitat: Bald eagles generally nest near coastlines, rivers, large lakes or streams that support an
adequate food supply. They often nest in mature or old- growth trees; snags (dead trees); cliffs;
rock promontories; rarely on the ground; and with increasing frequency on human -made
structures such as power poles and communication towers. In forested areas, bald eagles often
select the tallest trees with limbs strong enough to support a nest that can weigh more than
1,000 pounds. Nest sites typically include at least one perch with a clear view of the water where
the eagles usually forage. Shoreline trees or snags located near reservoirs provide the visibility
and accessibility needed to locate aquatic prey. Eagle nests are constructed with large sticks, and
may be lined with moss, grass, plant stalks, lichens, seaweed, or sod. Nests are usually about 4 -6
feet in diameter and 3 feet deep, although larger nests exist.
Conclusion: Based on the lack water bodies located on the site, it is the opinion of PEI that the
proposed project will not likely adversely impact the bald eagle.

Limited NEPA Assessment
PEI Project No. 1358

Dwarf wedgemussel (Alosmidonta heterodon)
Description: The dwarf wedgemussel is a small bivalve, rarely exceeding 45 mm in length. Clean
young shells are usually greenish -brown with green rays. As the animal ages, the shell color
becomes obscured by diatoms or mineral deposits and appears black or brown. The shell is thin
but does thicken somewhat with age, especially toward the anterior end. The anterior end is
rounded while the posterior end is angular forming a point near the posterio - ventral margin. The
ventral margin is only slightly curved. The nacre is bluish- white, appearing whiter in the thicker
anterior end. The most distinctive shell character of the dwarf wedgemussel is the arrangement
of the lateral teeth. There are two lateral teeth in the right valve and one in the left valve. The
typical arrangement for most freshwater mussel species consists of two lateral teeth in the left
valve and one in the right valve. The incurrent and excurrent apertures and their associated
papillae are usually white. The foot and other organs are also white. Maximum age for the dwarf
wedgemussel is around twelve years. The species is a bradytictic breeder, meaning that females
become gravid in the early fall and glochidia are released by mid - spring. The tessellated darter
(Etheostoma olmstedi), johnny darter (Etheostoma nigrum), and mottled sulpin (Cottus bairdi)
have been identified as hosts for the dwarf wedgemussel. An anadromous fish may also serve as
a host species but this has not been documented for the dwarf wedgemussel in the southern
portion of its range.
Habitat: The dwarf wedgemussel appears to be a generalist in terms of its preference for stream
size, substrate and flow conditions — it inhabits small streams less than five meters wide to large
rivers more than 100 meters wide; it is found in a variety of substrate types including clay, sand,
gravel and pebble, and sometimes in silt depositional areas near banks; and it usually inhabits
hydrologically stable areas, including very shallow water along stream banks and under root
mats, but it has also been found at depths of 25 feet in the Connecticut River. Dwarf
wedgemussels are often patchily distributed in rivers.
Conclusion: Suitable habitat is not present on the site.
Tar River spinymussel (Picoides borealis)
Description: The Tar River spinymussel is one of only three freshwater mussels with spines in the
world. The brownish shell is rhomboid - shaped, up to 2.4 inches long, with 0 -6 spines on each
valve. The shell is rather smooth and shiny, with concentric rings, and ends in a blunt point.
Younger individuals are orange -brown with greenish rays streaking outward from the hinge area.
Adults are darker with less distinct rays. One to three small thin ridges run on the interior surface
of the shell from the beak cavity to the lower ventral area of the shell. The anterior half of the
shell's inner surface is salmon - colored, the posterior half is iridescent blue. Juveniles may have
up to 12 spines, however, adults tend to lose their spines as they mature. Their method of
reproduction is similar among freshwater mussel species. Males release sperm into the water
column, and the sperm are taken in by the females through their siphons as they respire. The
rd
Limited NEPA Assessment
PEI Project No. 1358
March 6, 2015
eggs are fertilized and develop within the females' gills into larvae (glochidia). The females
release the glochidia that must then attach to the gills or fins of specific fish species. The glochida
transform into juvenile mussels and drop off the fish onto the stream bottom.
Habitat: The Tar River spinymussel lives in relatively silt -free uncompacted gravel and /or coarse
sand in fast - flowing, well oxygenated stream reaches. It is found in association with other
mussels, but it is never very numerous. It feeds by syphoning and filtering small food particles
that are suspended in the water.
Conclusion: Suitable habitat is not present at the site.
USFWS Correspondence
PEI submitted a letter to the USFWS to solicit comments pertaining to the proposed project. The
USFWS responded to our request in a letter dated February 20, 2015. The letter response
indicates that the USFWS concurs with our opinion that the proposed action of developing the
site with a solar farm is not likely to adversely affect federally listed endangered or threatened
species, their formally designated habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act
at the site. According to the letter, the USFWS believes that the requirements of Section 7(a)(2)
of the Act have been satisfied for the proposed project. A copy of the letter is included as an
attachment.
Conclusions and Opinions
This Limited NEPA Assessment has revealed that it is not likely for the proposed development of
the site with a solar farm to impact federally listed threatened /endangered species. If additional
information concerning federally listed threatened /endangered species becomes available that
makes a material difference in our findings and conclusions, PEI reserves the right to review
applicable information that could alter the conclusions and opinions found within this report.
Additional assessment is not recommended at this time.

Re: Sun Devil Solar Farm- Warren County, NC
Dear Mr. Luckey:
This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally - protected endangered and threatened species
with known occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects that
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally - protected species.
Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern' that are known to occur in
each county in North Carolina.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non - federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally - listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally- protected species list. information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
I The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally- listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally - protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies. and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above - referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally - listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down- gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
In general, the Service recommends that solar facilities be sited in areas that are previously
disturbed, or sites that do not impact mature forest, wetlands, or streams. The North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a copy can be found
on our website at (http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh) to address and mitigate secondary and
cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality. We
2
recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).
We hope you find our web page useful and infonnative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Kathy Matthews of this
office at (919) 856 -4520 ext. 27.

Re: Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request
Sun Devil Solar Project, Warren County, North Carolina
Approximate Center of Site: 36.434407 °N, 77.970651 °W
Dear Mr. Brown,
On behalf of FLS Energy, Energy Renewal Partners, LLC (Energy Renewal) is providing the information
attached in support of a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination request for the Sun Devil Solar Project.
The Sun Devil Solar Project (the "Site ") consists of approximately 29 acres located north of Highway 158
and west of Bobbitt Road, approximately 2.75 miles west of the town of Littleton in Warren County, North
Carolina. FLS Energy is proposing to construct a solar farm which will include the construction of access
roads, installation of solar arrays, and burial of electrical conduits. This assessment consisted of a desktop
review and an onsite investigation for the presence of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
The Jurisdictional Waters of the US Assessment consisted of desktop evaluations and an onsite
investigation for the presence of jurisdictional waters and wetlands habitat where proposed solar farm
infrastructure has a potential for jurisdictional impacts. The enclosed information summarizes the results
of Energy Renewal Partner's Jurisdictional Waters of the US Assessment completed on June 26, 2015.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
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
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
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)
that 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) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
3
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

1.0 Summary
This report presents the results of an onsite assessment for jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including
wetlands, on the approximately 29 -acre proposed Sun Devil Solar Project ( "subject property' or "the Site ")
located in Warren County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The subject site consists of an approximate 23 -acre
portion planned for the installation of solar panels, while the remaining approximately six acres comprise
the Site's planned access easement from the north. Energy Renewal Partners, LLC (Energy Renewal)
scientists conducted a field delineation of potential jurisdictional waters within the subject property. This
preliminary delineation identified no wetlands or jurisdictional waters within the 23 -acre panel area;
however, Energy Renewal identified two potentially jurisdictional wetlands and two streams along the
proposed access road easement (Figure 2).
2.0 Project Description and Background
The Site is situated in northeastern Warren County, approximately 2.75 miles west of the Town of
Littleton. The subject property is bound to the south by the Seaboard Coast railroad followed by Highway
158, and Bobbitt Road is located approximately 0.4 miles east of the Site. The northern portion of Bobbitt
Road will provide access to the Site. The Site consists of approximately 23 acres of dense woodland within
the panel area, identified by Warren County PIN number 3907 -28 -7373, with an approximately 5,400 -foot
planned road easement to the north, within parcels identified by Warren County PIN numbers 3908 -30-
0526, 3908 -30 -6572, and 3908 -31 -2785. This road easement is located directly adjacent to the west of a
former dammed pond that appears to have been drained in the early 2000s based on aerial imagery.
Unnamed tributaries to Big Stone House Creek are located to the north, east, and west of the Site. The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database depicts the subject
property as being void of wetlands, however, a freshwater pond (PUBHh) is depicted at the location of
the former pond directly east of the planned road easement (Figure 2).
3.0 Methodology
The assessment of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. consisted of desktop research and field investigations.
Energy Renewal scientists first reviewed relevant supporting information from sources including U.S.
Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic quadrangles (Figure 1), National Wetlands Inventory
(Figure 2), National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (Figure 2), Warren County Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) data, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation
Service (NRCS) Warren County Soil Survey (Figure 3), the USDA publication Hydric Soils of the U.S., and
representative aerial imagery. Energy Renewal consulted these sources to assist in the characterization
of current site conditions and for comparative analyses of findings present at the time of field review.
Subsequent to the desktop review, possible jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands, were
assessed in the field. During the onsite assessment, Energy Renewal scientists evaluated the Site for
drainage areas and potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the proposed project
boundaries. For identification of wetlands, Energy Renewal followed guidance set forth in the 1987 USACE
Wetlands Delineation Manual as amended by the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement
1
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. Assessment
,ARTNI L L r Sun Devil Solar Project
Guide (2012). Field conditions were documented using USACE Routine Wetland Determination Data
Forms (Appendix A) and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Stream Identification Forms
(Appendix B), as appropriate.
This technique uses a three parameter approach, which requires positive evidence of:
• Hydrophytic vegetation
• Hydric soils
• Wetland hydrology
Areas exhibiting the above three wetland characteristics, as well as surface waters, are considered
jurisdictional. Detailed information, required to determine wetland conditions, was collected during the
field reconnaissance and documented on the attached USACE Wetland Determination Data Forms.
Drainage features were also evaluated for the presence of continuous bed and bank and evidence of an
ordinary high water mark (OHWM), in accordance with USACE Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05 -05,
Ordinary High Water Mark Identification, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Draft Guidance
on Identifying Waters Protected by the Clean Water Act (2011). Drainages /canals with continuous
evidence of bed and bank and an OHWM, are typically considered jurisdictional.
4.0 Results
4.1 Desktop Review
Review of the NWI and aerial imagery depict no wetlands within the subject property, but show a
freshwater pond (PUBHh) directly east of the planned road easement. This freshwater pond is evident in
Google Earth aerial imagery prior to 2005, at which point the pond is no longer visible and appears to have
been drained. During the site visit, Energy Renewal confirmed this pond is no longer present; however,
two Swale wetlands, were identified along the planned project road easement. Additionally, two stream
crossings were identified along the planned road easement, one of which corresponds to an apparent
break in the levee which previously contained water in the dammed pond (Figure 2).
The USDA Web Soil Survey (Figure 3) depicts approximately 60% of the project area as underlain by
Appling sandy loam and approximately 33% underlain by Wedowee sandy loam. All field- identified
wetlands and streams are located within areas underlain by Wedowee sandy loam, which is characterized
as well drained and non - hydric. Cecil sandy loam makes up the remainder of soils within the subject
property, and is depicted only along the northernmost extent of the planned access easement near
Bobbitt Road.
The 1973 Littleton [NC] 1:24,000 USGSTopographic Quadrangle and the online USGS National Map Viewer
depict unnamed intermittent tributaries to Big Stone House Creek to the north, east, and west of the Site,
all flowing to the north toward Big Stone House Creek. The maps show a dammed pond along the eastern
tributary, which is depicted as crossing the northern portion of the planned access easement just before
converging with the western tributary to continue on to convey flow into Big Stone House Creek, located
approximately 0.75 miles to the north of the subject property (Figure 2). The former pond is located
directly east of the Project's planned easement and the convergence of the eastern and western
tributaries is portrayed on the maps as occurring to the west of the Project's planned road easement.

Photographs demonstrating site conditions at the time of review are presented in Appendix C.
4.2 Field Visit
Following review of this information, Energy Renewal scientists, Jesse Degnan and Julianne Wooten,
visited the subject property on June 18 and 23, 2015, to evaluate the site for features exhibiting
characteristics that are consistent with jurisdictional waters of the U.S., following guidance set forth in the
1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the Wetland Delineation
Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (April 2012).
Mr. Degnan and Ms. Wooten identified two swale wetlands and two streams along the Project's planned
access road easement. Energy Renewal delineated wetland boundaries with sequentially- numbered
flagging. The approximate extent and location of jurisdictional features delineated onsite are depicted on
the attached Approximate Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. Map (Figure 2).
Weather conditions at the time of the site visit consisted of temperatures from 85 -95 °F and 99% humidity.
Documented land cover types include contiguous woodlands within the subject property. Land cover
along the planned road easement is variable and consists of approximately 2,000 feet of cleared land
along the northernmost extent , approximately 1,600 feet of an overgrown previously cleared corridor
along an old berm, a small stretch of approximately 150 feet of woodlands, and a second previously
cleared easement with pockets of shrub /scrub vegetation along the southern approximately 1,600 feet
nearest the project area.
During the site assessment, two swale -like wetlands and two streams were delineated along the route of
the proposed Project access road. Data point locations, depicted in Figure 2, represent the locations
where data required to complete Wetland Determination Data Forms was recorded. Data forms for
potential wetlands can be found in Appendix A. Stream identification forms, located in Appendix B, were
used to help distinguish flow regime within identified surface water features. Energy Renewal completed
two forms, identifying one perennial stream (Stream 1) and one intermittent stream (Stream 2) along the
planned access easement (Figure 2). Both streams had continuous bed and bank and an ordinary high
water mark. Photographs of each area described are provided in Appendix C.
Stream 1 originates southeast of the project area, generally flowing north and east across the proposed
access road easement (36.442363 °N, - 77.968688 °W) to its confluence with an unnamed tributary of Big
Stone House Creek.
Wetland WA and Stream 2 coincide with one another and are located nearest the project area within the
proposed access easement. Stream 2 generally flows west, across the existing maintained easement being
proposed for site access purposes, to an unnamed tributary of Big Stone House Creek. Wetland hydrology
indicators observed within wetland WA at data point WA -Wet included surface water (A1), high water
table (A2), soil saturation (A3), oxidized rhizospheres along living root channels (0), and the FAC- neutral
test (D5). Vegetation at WA -Wet consisted of herbaceous species dominated by fringed sedge (Carex
crinita) and common rush (Juncus effusus), with common boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), joe pye weed
(Eutrochium dubium), and cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) also present. Soils documented at WA-

Wet were consistent with the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement's technical
description of hydric soil indicators sandy gleyed matrix (S4) and sandy redox (S5). Data point WA -Up
represents the upland abutting the boundary of wetland WA. Vegetation observed in this area included
tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), white oak (Quercus alba), Scribner's rosette grass (Dichanthelium
oligosanthes), and common mullein (Verbascum thapsus). Energy Renewal did not observe signs of
hydrology or hydric soils at the WA -Up data point location.
Wetland hydrology indicators observed within wetland WB at data point WB -Wet included A3, water -
stained leaves (139), hydrogen sulfide odor (Cl), C3, D5. Similar to Wetland WA, herbaceous vegetation
observed within Wetland WB included common rush, cinnamon fern, common boneset, jewelweed
(Impatiens capensis), and water hemlock (Cicuta maculata), but also included a sapling /shrub stratum
consisting of hazel alder (Alnus serrulata) and sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua). Hydric soil indicators
S4 and S5 were also observed within Wetland WB. The upland area abutting wetland WB (represented by
data point WB -Up) did not contain evidence of hydrology or hydric soils. Vegetation noted at WB -Up
included loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum, common persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and roundleaf
thoroughwort (Eupatorium rotundifolium).
Energy Renewal observed an upland drainage along the western edge of the existing easement,
approximately 100 feet north of Wetland WB, which is represented in Figure 2 as data point DP -1.
Hydrophytic vegetation, including sweetgum, sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis), deertongue
(Dichanthelium clandestinum) and common rush, was observed; however, wetland hydrology and hydric
soil indicator criterion were not met (see Wetland Determination Form DP -1 for additional details).
Energy Renewal did not observe evidence of wetlands within the planned panel area of the Site. Data
point DP -2 was taken as a representation of lowland areas onsite (Figure 2). Facultative plant species and
indications of wetland hydrology were present; however, no hydric soil indicators were identified (see
Wetland Determination Form DP -2 for additional details).
5.0 Conclusion
During the stream and wetland assessment, Energy Renewal evaluated potential jurisdictional waters of
the U.S. based on information from both the desktop review and from the observed conditions during the
site visit. This assessment did not identify potentially jurisdictional waters within the 23 -acre portion of
the Site where solar panels are proposed. This assessment identified four potentially jurisdictional
features within the Project's access road easement. These features included:
• two swale wetlands (WA and WB); and
• two streams (Stream 1 and Stream 2).
All jurisdictional determinations are preliminary prior to regulatory verification by the USACE. Any
proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters will possibly require a permit from the USACE, with the
possibility of compensatory mitigation being required.
