Notes: Stream SA is a stormwater driven channel with groundwater
interception. SA begins approximately 60' northeast of a large 60" CMP and
concrete outlet structure. A large rip rap dissipater pad seperates the CMP and
the origin of SA. The outlet structure appears to join a 36" RCP heading to a
stormwater basin, with high flow events bypassing the RCP and discharging to
the dissipater pad. The RCP is blocked by debris however, and all flow from the
60" CMP is discharging to SA. Based on debris piles and wrack lines in the
trees, SA reaches very high flood stages on a regular basis.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 48 Comments:
Stream SA is largely stormwater driven (60" CMP and large rip rap dissipater pad upstream of SA origin), and is straight for the
first 100'. As the energy dissipates in the channel, SA begins to establish a natural meander, but SA quickly dissipates into
wetlands WA and WB. SA is covered with iron oxidizing bacteria and there is significant trash and foreign debris in the channel
and along the banks. An aerial sewer crosses SA as well near flag SA3.
Evaluator's Signature Date 09/27/2012
This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in
gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream
quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change - version 06/03. To Comment, please call 919-876-8441 x 26.

Notes: Stream SB is a low -quality intermittent channel that is primarily fed by
stormwater leaving the adjacent housing development. The channel elevation
intercepts groundwater, and at time of observation SB had pooled water in the
but no clear evidence of flow in the surface water. The channel has wrack lines
and debris piles indicating that this receives flow intermittently. SB reaches a
confluence with SA near wetlands WA and WB. Fish and frogs were observed in
the channel.

Stream SB is a stormwater driven channel that conveys surface runoff from a large residential development to stream SA. A
steep concrete flume discharges surface flow to SB, which has low banks and is narrow. SB is located in a topographic
crenulation that may be a natural feature, or was enhanced during construction of the adjacent lift station. SB intercepts
groundwater at the foot of the hillslope, and due to recent dry conditions, the stream was not flowing at time of observation.

Notes: Stream SC is a channel that branches off of stream SA and flows
east through wetland WB. SC dissipates into WB after flowing approximately
200'. The banks and alluvial benches within SC have crayfish burrows, and fish
were observed throughout the channel. The water is slow -moving, and OBL
wetland vegetation is encroaching on the channel at low points and riffles.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 40 Comments:
Stream SC is branch channel off of SA that flows through a sewer easement along the foot of a large hillslope. SC dissipates
into wetland WB. SC has crayfish burrows and wetland vegetation in exposed areas of the stream bed. SC is also fed by
groundwater seepage from the adjacent hillslope.

Notes: Stream SD is a short perennial channel beginning at the 36" RCP
and dissipater outlet of a stormwater pond. SD crosses the sewer easement,
and drops approximately 15' from the pipe outlet to the confluence with SE
before dropping another few feet to meet the Tar River elevation. The reach of
SD in the sewer easement has wide banks armored with rip rap and
smartweed is growing well within the channel bed. Downstream of the
easement, SD has multiple riffles complexes and step pools.

Stream SD is a short perennial channel that is the main outlet of a 1-acre stormwater basin collecting runoff from area
developments. A 36" RCP outlet at the foot of the basin's berm maintains SD, which joins SE before flowing into the Tar River.
SD crosses the sewer easement, where its banks are armored with rip rap and wetland vegetation is present in the channel.
e slope is high for a coastal stream, but step pools over roots and headcuts with scour pools control energy in the stream.

Notes: Stream SE is a large perennial channel that is deeply encised. The
channel crosses the sewer easement, and within the easement the banks are
approximately 8-10' higher than the water surface. After the easement, SE
drops approximately 10' through a series of step pools to meet the Tar River
elevation. Stream SD joins SE north of the easement before SE traverses more
step pools and ultimately flows into the Tar River. Upstream of the easement
bank depths are 15-20' deep and 30' wide.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 50 Comments:
Stream SE is a perennial channel that is sustained by groundwater, but SE is also an emergency conveyance for the 1-acre
stormwater basin. A 50' wide spillway and 40' rip rap dissipater pad discharge to the head of SE. The high energy flood flows
that SE carries have eroded the channel and banks are very deep, wide, and steep. SE is rip rap armored in the easement.
Downstream of the easement, SE flows through a series of riffles and step pools to meet the elevation of the Tar River.
Evaluator's Signature Date 09/27/2012
This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in
gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream
quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change — version 06/03. To Comment, please call 919-876-8441 x 26.

Remarks. -
Wetlands WA and WB are low-lying floodplain wetlands associated with streams SA, SB, SC, and the
Tar River. Surface water was observed throughout the interior reaches of the wetland, reaching
depths of 12". Soils in WA and WB show signs of alluvial deposition as distances to the stream
channels decrease. The water table was observed initially at 10", but while completing the
observation point documentation, the water table recharged to a depth of 2" below the surface.
Soils were saturated to the surface throughout wetlands WA and WB. Wetland WB is bounded on
the southern side by a steep topographic break.
The similarity of conditions found in wetlands WA and WB, as well as the close proximity of the
wetlands to one another, make this data point reflective of both wetlands.

to SA in the alluvial zone, but at the data point location
(approximately 50' from SA) soils are loamy and the area is a low-lying floodplain. The soil profile
in at WA -WET is reflective of soils throughout wetland WB. There is no evidence of oxidation in
the soil profile, but soils are dark
throughout. Soils are saturated at the surface, and the water
table was observed at 2".

Wetland WD is dominated by herbaceous vegetation. It is located at the foot of a significant
topographic slope rising to the south. WD is also located in a sewer easement. Significant
inundation from flooding of the Tar River prevents any canopy, sapling, or shrub species from
establishing in the wetland, and during dry months, groundwater seepage from the adjacent

at 8", and low-lying pockets within the wetland have surface water less than 1" deep. WD-WET
is located within a sewer easement, but frequent inundation and groundwater seepage from the
adjacent hillslope have left the soil profile clearly indicative of hydric soils. The sand content in
the profile increases with depth.

Remarks-
Saturation was present at 10" and the water table was observed at 14". Wetland WE is a
low-lying floodplain adjacent to the Tar River. There is a berm separating WE from the Tar River
within the project corridor, but west of the corridor, a large break in the berm allows flood flow to
enter WE. The concave depressional nature of the wetland prevents the flood flow from escaping
the wetland and WE remains inundated. Cypress knees throughout the wetland are 34tall.

groundwater and flooding from the Tar River, one representative data form was completed for
the wetlands. While accounted for individually, the conditions, vegetative communities,
hydrology indicators, and soil profiles were mostly identical throughout the wetlands.

Saturation occurs in all of the wetlands within 10" of the surface. Through much of the wetland
area, saturation is present at the surface. The water table was observed between 2" and 10"
below the surface. The soils below 16" are too saturated for analysis and removal. The wetlands
receive hydrologic input throughout the year from groundwater, as well as from flooding from the
Tar River.
