RE: Wetland Delineation for Pine Forest II -Statesville, NC
Mr. Johnson:
As you know Soil & Forestry Services of the Carolinas (S&FS) has performed a preliminary wetland
delineation at the proposed Pine Forest II single family residential development in Statesville. We
originally performed a wetland delineation on the property in 2017. At that time we provided you and
your engineer with a sketch map and report of findings. Our findings indicated 3 jurisdictional stream
channels.
In 2019 we re -visited the property at your request. Again, we provided a sketch map of jurisdictional
features. Upon review of proposed site plan and discussions with the project engineer we flagged the
top of a stream near a proposed road crossing as well as a wetland in the floodplain of Pine Forest I
related to a sewer corridor. Those flags were located by the engineer/surveyor and incorporated in the
proposed development site plan. Based on our fieldwork overlaid onto the proposed site plan, we
believe jurisdictional streams and wetlands will be avoided (no impact) in developing Pine Forest II. As
you are aware two potential stream impacts from proposed sewer pipe construction will be avoided via
aerial crossings.
Based on our fieldwork and review of the development plans it's our opinion no impacts to jurisdictional
Waters are proposed. Pre -construction notification is therefore not required to the US Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) or NC Division of Water Resources (DWR). As the landowner/developer you
acknowledge a preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) has not been requested or approved by
the Corps for our delineation.
Sincerely,
Wendell Overby, RF LSS SC
