The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the applicable 404 Permit/401 Certification/Buffer Approval within this time frame,
this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once
DMS receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit
and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid
by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
7 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM 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 121.44 acres.
❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

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:

Terracon Project No: 70237261
Dear Mr. Ross:
2401 Brentwood Rd, Suite 107
Raleigh, NC 27604
P (919) 873-2211
Terracon.com
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon), has completed the requested wetlands and waters
delineation for the Truelove Enterprises Property, totaling approximately 121.44-acres in Harnett
County, NC (Exhibit 1). Terracon staff was tasked with identifying features that may be considered
subject to jurisdiction and permitting requirements under Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA) and under the North Carolina Isolated and Other Non-404 Jurisdictional Wetlands and
Waters program.
Background Research
Prior to the initiation of field efforts, several available resources were reviewed, including the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles of Lillington, NC, the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Published Soil Survey of Harnett County, NC, aerial
photography, and other publicly available mapping resources. Field work was conducted by
technical staff on May 2 and May 3, 2023.
Topography
Topography in the study area is characterized by slopes and drainages. Elevations range from a
high of approximately 260 feet above mean sea level (MSL) down to approximately 190 feet above
MSL (Exhibit 1) based on a review of USGS mapping and other online resources.
Soils
Exhibit 2 depicts five soil mapping units potentially occurring in the study area: Bibb soils,
frequently flooded; Fuquay gravelly loamy sand, 0-6% slopes; Gilead loamy sand, 2-8% slopes;
Norfolk loamy sand, 2-6% slopes; and Wagram loamy sand, 0-6% slopes.
The soil mapping units Bibb soils, frequently flooded and Gilead loamy sand, 2-8% slopes, all
potentially occurring in the study area, are considered hydric (wetland) soils by NRCS.

Wetlands and Waters
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires regulation of discharges into waters of the U.S.
(WOTUS). Although the principal administrative agency of the CWA is the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has major responsibility for
implementation, permitting, and enforcement of provisions of the CWA. Water bodies such as
rivers, lakes, and streams are subject to jurisdictional consideration under the Section 404
program. However, by regulation, certain wetlands are also considered WOTUS.
Currently WOTUS are assessed by the CWA's 2023 definition of WOTUS. This definition of WOTUS
includes the implementation of rulemaking as decided in the Supreme Court's 2015 decision of the
consolidated cases Rapanos v. United States and Carabeii v. United States.
Specifically, the following waters will be under federal jurisdiction pursuant to the CWA:
• Traditional navigable waters (TNWs)
• Wetlands adjacent to TNWs
• Non -navigable tributaries of traditional navigable waters that are relatively permanent
where the tributaries typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally
(3 months)
• Wetlands that directly abut such tributaries
• Relatively permanent, standing or continuously flowing bodies of water "forming
geographic features" that are described in ordinary parlance as "streams, oceans, rivers,
and lakes". These are Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs).
The following waters will be considered jurisdictional if a significant nexus (contributes to the
physical, chemical, or biological integrity of downstream TNWs) exists between these features and
traditional navigable waters:
• Non -navigable tributaries that are not relatively permanent
• Wetlands adjacent to non -navigable tributaries that are not relatively permanent
• Wetlands adjacent to but that do not directly abut a relatively permanent non -navigable
tributary
The following waters will be considered non jurisdictional under the CWA:
• Swales or Erosional features (gullies, small washes characterized by low volume, infrequent
or short duration flows)
• Ditches (including roadside ditches) excavated wholly in and draining only uplands and that
do not carry a relatively permanent flow of water.
However, wetlands and other waterbodies that do not fall under federal regulation per the CWA
may be subject to jurisdiction by the N.C. Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) under the state's
Isolated and Other Non-404 Jurisdictional Wetlands and Waters program.
Our delineation methodology generally follows the guidance outlined in the Regional Supplement
to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual for the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region, which
states that areas must exhibit three distinct characteristics to be considered jurisdictional
wetlands: 1) prevalence of hydrophytic (water tolerant) plants; 2) presence of hydric soils; and 3)
sufficient wetland hydrology indicators within 12 inches of the ground surface.
The study area was also reviewed for the presence of tributaries (stream channels) using criteria
provided by the USACE and the NCDWR. When present, intermittent and perennial tributaries,
and certain other surface waters, are also considered jurisdictional by the USACE and/or NCDWR.

Preliminary Delineation Results
Our review of the Truelove Enterprises property identified eleven (11) potential wetlands and three
(3) potential tributaries (Exhibit 3). Potential wetlands were flagged with pink -and -black and blue
flagging and potential tributaries were flagged with blue and orange flagging.
These delineation results are considered preliminary and are subject to review and approval by the
USACE, should you request, and USACE chooses to review the delineation. Exhibit 3 depicts the
approximate location and extent of the potential wetland and waters and was prepared using non -
survey grade, sub -meter GPS data. Exhibit 3 is not a replacement for a traditional survey. It is
suitable for preliminary planning purposes only and for use by a surveyor to aid in locating flags.
The following tables contain the specific information for the potential wetlands and tributaries that
were identified and delineated inside the property boundary. The potential wetlands were classified
according to the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM). The wetlands onsite were
classified as Headwater Forest Wetlands and Riverine Swamp Forest Wetlands. Headwater Forest
wetlands are found in geographic floodplains of first order or smaller streams and in crenulations
without a stream. Riverine Swamp Forests are characterized by seasonal to semi -permanent
inundation and occur in headwaters of streams and depressions, amongst other things.

1 Based on NCDWR score at the time of the site investigation, however each stream is mapped as
intermittent on USGS mapping.
All three tributaries flow in a south-western direction and eventually leave the property before
flowing into the Duncan's Creek.
One potentially jurisdictional ditch was observed on site (D1) totaling in 81 ft.
Clean Water Act Permitting
Most impacts to wetlands and WOTUS, which are deemed under the jurisdiction of either the federal
or state regulatory authority (USACE or NCDWR, respectively) must first be permitted pursuant to
Section 404 and Section 401 of the CWA and/or the State's Isolated and Other Non-404
Jurisdictional Wetlands and Waters program. Activities so authorized are subject to additional
requirements to comply with water quality and storm water management regulations. The
Nationwide Permit (NWP) program, administered by USACE, provides permitting of impacts which
do not exceed pre -determined thresholds. The delineated features will likely be subject to Section
404 jurisdiction. If determined necessary, Terracon can prepare and submit a Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) request to USACE to request written concurrence through a site
visit or desktop review. If no impacts to any of the WOTUS delineated onsite are proposed, then
a PJD is not necessary.

Riparian Buffers/Setbacks
The study area is within the Cape Fear River Basin. Specifically, the study area is in Harnett County.
The Cape Fear River basin does not implement riparian buffers. However, Harnett County
implements Watershed Buffer Rules within the WS-IV-PA watershed district, a 100-foot riparian
buffer may apply to all perennial streams as indicated on ethe 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute)
quadrangle topographic map (Exhibit 1). Otherwise, a 30-ft riparian buffer is subject to intermittent
streams as indicated on ethe 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic map (Exhibit
1).
Although T1, T2, and T3 scored high enough to be considered perennial, they are depicted on the
1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic map (Exhibit 1) as intermittent streams.
Therefore, tributaries T1, T2, and T3 will likely be subject to a 30-foot riparian buffer. Impacts to
the riparian buffer will require coordination with Harnett County.
Recommendations
Three (3) potential tributaries and eleven (11) potential wetlands have been delineated on the
Truelove Enterprises Property Site. Terracon recommends that a PJD request be submitted to
USACE if there is a possibility of Section 404 permitting being needed for the project. We are
prepared to do this upon your authorization.
Please contact our office if you have questions regarding this evaluation.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
01/02/2024
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
https://www.fws. gov/sites/defaultlfiles/documents/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.pdf
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what-
we-do.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation-

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 6 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

RE: elyse meadows
Dear Rhiannon Graham:
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary

Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Yrogram
101 \�� M1UKWZEA�1
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally -
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact the NCNHP at natural.heritage�dncr.nc.gov.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
