Remarks:
Wetland WA and WB are floodplain wetlands adjacent to Jordan Creek and it's unnamed tributary and Laurel Hill Church Road. The wetland data point was taken
within wetland WA. Climatic and hydrologic conditions are not typical for this time of year and have been influenced by a hurricane and above -average
precipitation for the two months prior to the delineation (Nov 6.4 inches and Dec 6.9 inches). The average rainfall for Dec over the past three years has been 4.1
inches. The recent storm has deposited roadway fill, concrete , alluvium, and other debris within the wetland. A maintained power line easement runs parallel
along the road in the southeastern section of the study area, bisecting wetland WA.

Remarks:
The upland point for WA, WB, WC, WD, and WE was taken approximately 40 feet up -gradient from and 2 feet higher in
elevation than wetland WA, on a slight hillslope adjacent to Laurel Hill Church Road. Climatic and hydrologic conditions
are not typical for this time of year and have been influenced by a hurricane and above -average precipitation.

Notes:
Stream SA is a roadside drainage system that carries stormflows from NC 144
and the adjacent wetland. Stream SA is primarily composed of a sandy substrate
and the strong flow is due to recent rainfall in the wet season.
