Jennifer/ Stephanie:
Atlas Environmental Inc (Atlas) is submitting the enclosed package on behalf of John R
McCormick of John R McCormick Contracting LLC for approval of a Nationwide Permit 29
verification for unavoidable impacts to Waters of the United States. Atlas Environmental
completed a stream and wetland delineation on January 30, 2024. A preliminary jurisdictional
determination was submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on January 18, 2024. The
preliminary jurisdictional determination delineation concurrence was issued on February 21,
2024. There are a total of four streams and six wetlands within the review area.
The purpose of this project is for the construction of a residential development. There
will be 142 single family lots, infrastructure roads and utilities, and three SCM. The
development will require three permanent unavoidable impact to Waters of the United States.
Impact S1 consists of 141 linear feet (-0.0109 acre) of perennial stream impact of CH 200 for
the installation of a culvert for a road crossing. Impacts S2 consists of 109 linear feet (-0.0087
acres) of perennial stream impact of CH 100 for the installation of a culvert for a road crossing.
Impact W1 consists of 0.04 acres of fill for grading for a road crossing and installation of a
culvert. No mitigation will be required for this project as stream impacts are less than 0.02 acre.
The site has been designed and engineered to avoid and minimize impacts to the greatest
extent possible. Approximately 79% of wetlands are being avoided and preserved.
Approximately 91 % of the streams are being avoided and preserved. Additionally, the perennial
streams have been placed in a 50-foot buffer. There is a no FEMA floodplain on site.
Atlas submitted a report of findings to the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural
Resources on January 26, 2024. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) provided their
comment letter on February 29, 2024 and assigned ER-24-0332 as the their project number.
SHPO does not have any comment related to development of the project site. Atlas has not
submitted a report of findings to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Atlas is
currently as of (April 19, 2024) conducting Hexastylis naniflora surveys.

Mr. McCormick,
Reference is made to ORM ID SAW-2024-00171 --please reference this number on any correspondence
regarding this action.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of
this e-mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a
sufficiently accurate and reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within
the identified review area. The location and extent of these aquatic resources are shown in callout areas
on the attached delineation maps, labeled 'Aquatic Resources Sketch Map' figures 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f
dated 1/5/2024.
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01
https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lcoll9/id/1256 provides guidance for
Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type where
no JD has been requested." At this time, we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be
relied upon for use in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. "This verification does not address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction
on aquatic resources and shall not be interpreted as such. This delineation verification is not an
Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable action under the Regulatory
Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331)."

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
I 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

For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations:
Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404
wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features.
Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries,
impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary,
open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear
length of each of these features as appropriate.
Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non -
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e.
"Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
linear length of these features as appropriate.

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:

SUPPORTING DATA. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply)
Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources below where
indicated for all checked items:
