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
