4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
In 2017, Individual Section 404/401 permits were issued for the construction of an approximately 495,175 square foot cold storage distribution center and associated truck staging area
connected to the existing Smithfield Foods processing facility. The original Section 404/401 permit authorized impacts included 2.38 -acres of freshwater forested wetlands (non -riparian)
and 0.01 acre of jurisdictional ditch.
During a post -construction site review, Kimley-Horn staff identified areas of wetland disturbance that occurred outside the authorized impact areas. This information was brought to the
attention of the applicant (Smithfield Foods) and proactive actions were taken to rectify this inadvertent, unauthorized issue and request a modification to the original permits and be in
compliance with their Section 404/401 permits.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*

The permit modification request associated with this permit and the unauthorized wetland impacts included 0.47 -acre of mechanized land clearing (conversion) associated with a 30 -foot
permanent transmission line easement and infrastructure installed by Four Counties Utilities which runs parallel to the newly constructed truck staging area. In addition, there is 0.02 -
acre of permanent wetland fill associated with an a#ended concrete pad at the weigh station needed to epand the turning radius required for the larger trucks. Therefore, the total
modification request required for permanent wetland impacts is 0.49 -acre.
A majority of the unauthorized impacts (1.26 -acres) are associated with areas that were inadvertently cleared by the site contractor. The contractor's GPS unit containing the wetland
file lost coverage in the dense canopy cover. The contractor was relying on what the thought were the wetland delineation flags to determine the wetland limits; however, there was
flagging on the project site denoting multiple features and the flagging the contractor used was not the wetland flagging. In the limited areas where the grading was done, Smithfield
Foods proposes to regrade these areas back to pre-e>asting contours and replant these areas as well as the balance of the cleared area with native wetland vegetation; therefore, no
permanent wetland impacts are requested for this area.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

2h. Comments:
Impact Site 1 includes 0.47 -acre of mechanized land clearing (conversion) associated with a 30 -foot permanent transmission line easement and
associated infrastructure installed by Four Counties Utilities. Impact Site 2 consist of 0.02 -acre of permanent wetland fill associated with an extended
concrete pad at the newly constructed weigh station needed to expand the turning radius required for larger trucks. The request for 1.26 -acre of
temporary impact is associated with an area that was inadvertently cleared by a contractor during construction. This area is proposed to be regraded
back to pre-eAsting contours and replanted with native wetland vegetation.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to wetlands were minimized through design by reducing the width of the driveway isles within the trailer staging areas located north of the
proposed distribution center, and by tightening the proposed limits of disturbance of the projects. Per Section 404(b)(1) guidelines during the original
Individual Permit application process, off-site alternatives as well as six (6) on-site alternatives were evaluated to ensure the Preferred Alternative was
the least environmentally damaging alternative.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Reduced the number of required trailer positions from 390 to 329; relocated the northern truck access drive from north of the existing CR. England
facility to south of the facility avoiding impacts to Wetland W4 (a 0.72 -acre reduction of impact); decreased the driveway isle widths within the trailer
staging areas north of the distribution center from 420 feet to 410 feet (a 0.83 -acre reduction of impact); tightening of the limits of disturbance to the
greatest extend practical (a 0.27 -acre reduction of impact).
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No

G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*
r Yes r No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15ANCAC 2B.0200)?*
r Yes f No
2b Provide an explanation of the violation(s):
The permit modification request associated with this permit and the unauthorized wetland impacts included 0.47 -acre of mechanized land clearing
(conversion) associated with a 30 -foot permanent transmission line easement and infrastructure installed by Four Counties Utilities which runs parallel
to the newly constructed truck staging area. In addition, there is 0.02 -acre of permanent wetland FII associated with an extended concrete pad at the
weigh station needed to expand the turning radius required for the larger trucks. Therefore, the total modification request required for permanent
wetland impacts is 0.49 -acre.
A majority of the unauthorized impacts (1.26 -acres) are associated with areas that were inadvertently cleared by the site contractor. The contractor's
GPS unit containing the wetland file lost coverage in the dense canopy cover. The contractor was relying on what the thought were the wetland
delineation flags to determine the wetland limits; however, there was flagging on the project site denoting multiple features and the flagging the
contractor used was not the wetland flagging. In the limited areas where the grading was done, Smithfield Foods proposes to regrade these areas
back to pre-existing contours and replant these areas as well as the balance of the cleared area with native wetland vegetation; therefore, no
permanent wetland impacts are requested for this area.

3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
The proposed facilities expansion would employ approximately 200 new employees. It is anticipated that most of these employees will be hired from
Tar Heel, Fayetteville, Elizabethtown and other surrounding communities. It is anticipated that most of the employees would commute to work although
a portion of the employees may consider relocating to the immediate vicinity of the proposed project area. Because a majority of the employees will
already be located within the project region, there will be limited additional residential, recreational, institutional, and/or commercial development in this
area as a result of the proposed project.

RE: Smithfield Foods
Dear Jason Hartshorn:
Secretary Susi H. Hamilton
NCNHDE-3593
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, 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 and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
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 (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) 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 Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler&ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
