Dear Mr.Smith:
Pilot Environmental, Inc. (Pilot)is pleased to submit this report of the wetland delineation for the
approximate 66 acre tract located east and west of Walter Canady Road in Hope Mills,
Cumberland County, North Carolina .
Background
Wetlands are defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as “those areas that are inu ndated or saturated
by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal
circumstances, do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions.” In order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology indicators must be present.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials
into waters of the United States (lakes, rivers, ponds , streams, etc.), including wetlands.Waters
of the United States include the territorial seas, navigable coastal and inland lakes, rivers and
streams, intermittent streams, and wetlands. The EPA and the USACE jointly administer the
Section 404 program.Section 401 of the Clean Water Act grants each state the authority to
approve, condition, or deny any Federal permits that could result in a discharge to State waters.
Jurisdictional features include wetlands, open waters, ponds, lakes and perennial/inte rmittent
streams. Jurisdictional features are regulated by the USACE and North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality -Division of Water Resources (NCDEQ-DWR). Permits are required prior
to impacting any jurisdictional feature . The type of permit required is specific to the type,

location and amount of impacts. Stormwater management plans and/or mitigation for proposed
impacts could be a requirement of the permit approval process.
The findings and conclusions in this report are our opinions based on field conditions
encountered at the time of the site visit. Changes including, but not limited to, regulations,
weather, timber/vegetation removal and usage/development of the site or nearby properties
can alter the findings and opinions presented in this report. We recommend that this report only
be used for preliminary planning purposes. Agency verifications, followed by a survey of
jurisdictional features are required to determine the exact extent and location s of jurisdictional
features and are valid for a period of up to five years following issuance of a USACE Jurisdictional
Determination (JD) and/or NCDEQ-DWR Site Determination Letter.
Global Positioning System (GPS) location of jurisdictional features has been cond ucted by Pilot
personnel in the field utilizing a Trimble handheld GPS unit capable of sub -meter accuracy. Field
GPS data has been post processed by Pilot personnel and digitally provided to the client for
assistance with preliminary planning. Pilot expresses no warranties or liabilities to the accuracy
of GPS locations and/or provided GPS data.
Scope of Services
Pilot was contracted to perform a wetland delineation for the approximate 66 acre tract located
east and west of Walter Canady Road in Hope Mills, Cumberland County, North Carolina.The
site consists of three parcels identified by the Cumberland County Geographical Information
System (GIS) as Parcel Identification Number s (PINs)0422-51-3534, 0422-51-1878 and 0422-42-
9297.The site is being evaluated for proposed development with a solar farm. The scope of
services included a delineation and GPS location of jurisdictional features (streams, wetlands and
other surface waters) located on the site. Pilot was provided with the site boundary in a Google
Earth digital file.
Pilot was also contracted to perform a Desktop Limited National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Review in conjunction with the stream/wetland delineation.Details of this investigation are
included in a separate report.
Literature Review
We reviewed the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)Topographic Map,the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Soil Survey of Cumberland County, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
National Wetland Inventory (NWI)Map and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).
The USGS Topographic Map (Drawing 1)depicts an unnamed tributary to Cold Camp Creek along
a portion of the southwestern site boundary. Other surface waters are not depicted on the site.

The USDA Web Soil Survey of Cumberland County (Drawing 2) identifies the following mapping
units on the site:Goldsboro loamy sand (GoA), Lynchburg sandy loam (Ly), Pantego loam (Pg),
Rains sandy loam (Ra), Torhunta and Lynn Haven soils (TR), Wagram loamy sand (WaB) and
Woodington loamy sand (Wo). The Goldsboro series consists of moderately well drained,
moderately permeable soils that occur on marine terraces and uplands. The Lynchburg series
consists of somewhat poorly drained, moderately permeable soils that occur on marine terraces
and flats. The Lynn Haven series consists of poorly and very poorly drained, moderate or
moderately rapid permeable soils that occur on low areas and in depressions. The Pantego
series consists of very poorly drained, moderately permeable soils that occur on nearly level and
slightly depressional areas.The Rains series consist of poorly drained, moderately permeable
soils that occur on flats, depressions and Carolina Bays. The Torhunta series consists of very
poorly drained, moderately rapidly permeable soils that occur on nearly level stream terraces
and upland bay areas.The Wagram series consists of somewhat excessively drained, moderately
permeable soils that occur on interfluves and side slopes. The Woodington series consists of
poorly drained, moderately rapidly permeable soils that occur on nearly level interstream
divides.The Goldsboro (GoA)soil mapping unit is not identified on the Cumberland County
Hydric Soils List.The remaining soil mapping units are identified on the Cumberland County
Hydric Soils List.
Pilot also reviewed the last published USDA Soil Survey of Cumberland County (Drawing 2A).
The published soil survey does not depict surface waters or wetlands on the site. An unnamed
tributary to Cold Camp Creek is depicted immediately west of the site.
The USFWS NWI Map (Drawing 3)depicts freshwater forested/shrub wetlands on the
northcentral and southwestern portions of the site. Other surface waters or wetlands are not
depicted on the site.
Pilot reviewed the FEMA FIRM (Drawing 4)for the site.The FEMA FIRM identifies the site as
being located in Zone X,an area of minimal flood hazard outside the 100 year flood plain.
Field Delineation
Pilot conducted the site visit on July 11, 2017.The site contains wooded land and fields.
Structures are not located on the site.Neither streams nor ponds are located on the site.
Several ditches cross the site. The ditches contain defined beds and banks and evidence of
ordinary high water marks. Water was observed within the majority of the ditches at the time of
our site visit. Based on our observations, the ditches are jurisdictional. The ditches were geo -
located with a Trimble handheld GPS unit.
A wetland is located on the western portion of the site.The wetland is separated from
surrounding uplands by topographic,vegetation and/or soil breaks. USACE Wetland

Determination Data Forms,documenting our findings, are included as attachments. The wetland
boundary was marked in the field with red and white striped surveyor tape and geo-located with
a Trimble handheld GPS unit.
Watershed Classification
According to the NCDEQ-DWR, the site is located in the Lumber River Basin.The NCDEQ-DWR has
classified Cold Camp Creek, the receiving waters of the site,as Class C, swamp waters (Sw).In
accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0200,state regulated vegetative buffers are not required
adjacent to features identified on the site.
Pilot contacted the Cumberland County Planning and Inspections Department to inquire about
local surface water buffer regulations.According to Mr.Ed Byrne, Planner with Cumberland
County, within the local watersheds located inside the county boundaries, Cumberland County
surface water buffer regulations are generally consistent with the state. According to Mr. Byrne,
the site is not located within a local watershed.
According to the NCDEQ-DWR Interactive Stormwater Map, the site is located in an area
identified as State Permitting Authority. Therefore, we recommend consultation with the
NCDEQ-DWR to determine if the proposed development on the site requires development
buffers/setbacks from surface waters for compliance with state and local stormwater
requirements.
Agency Verification
Ms. Emily Greer, with the USACE, indicated in an e-mail dated September 6, 2017 that based on
a desktop review, a field visit would not be completed by the USACE. Based on their review, the
USACE concurs with the features as identified on the attached Drawing 5.Drawing 5 shows the
locations of jurisdictional ditches and wetlands located on the site. Drawing 5 should only be
used for preliminary planning purposes. We understand that our flags will be surveyed to
determine the exact extent and locations of jurisdictional features.Pilot has requested that the
USACE issue a jurisdictional determination (JD) based on Drawing 5.The JD will be provided upon
receipt from the USACE.
