Mr. Martin:
At your request, Mr. Danny Smith of the Central Office, reviewed the Soil
Survey, USGS map and conducted a site visit of the St. Ann's Catholic Church tract, as
depicted on the attached map. This review was necessary to determine whether streams
are present on the subject tract and if compliance with the Neuse Riparian Zone Rule
(15A NCAC 2B .0233) is required. Accordingly, the property as indicated on the
attached map does not house a stream is not subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or wish to
discuss this matter further please call me at [phone].

There are wetlands on the above described property which we strongly suggest sbould be surveyed The
sinveyed wedend fines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will make a final jurisdictional
dewntinatim on your property.
Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your

morn timely delineation of the wetlands. Once your consultant has flagged a wetland line on the properix
COMO l staff Will review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for
rra
approval by the Corps. The Corps wig not make a final jurisdictional determination on your PMperty
without an approved survey.
3a The wetlands on you lot have been delineated, and the limits of Corps jurisdictions have been explained to
you. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this deter nation may be refied upon
for a period not to exceed five years form the date of this notification.
There are no wetlands present on the above described property which are subject to the permit requirements

PlaccMent of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a De
Army permit is in most cases a violation of Section. 301 of the Clean Water Act ((333 oUSC 3111).

Re: Wetland Report and Neuse Bain Buffer Rule Applicability:
St. Ann's Catholic Church, Corbett Site L+14 acres),
Wilson Mills, Johnston County, NC
Dear Paul:
WETLANDS
On Dec. 23, 1997, the property was traversed on foot and the soils, v tioR and hydrology
evaluated and wetland areas examined by current procedures described in the 1987 Corps Manual
for idwgifft Delia Wetlands.
We have determined that there is one ±0.53 acre wetland pocket on the 4Wsee attached map).
No wetlands or Waters ofthe U.S. were found anywhom else on the tract.
These jurisdictional wetland areas were approximately IowIM using a hand held OPS unit. This
should be adequate for pernutting, if any is required. If you require a more precise map of the
wetlands, they should be surveyed. A survey should conform to the attached standards (see
attached: Requireattents for Wetland Delineation Maps). The attached wetland rasp can be over.
laid on the final site plan to determine which, wetland permits are required, if any.
Corps approval of our delineation can be granted without a survey but cannot be granted unless
they have a signed agent authorization form(see attached: Agent Authorization).
Recent Section 404 rule changes prevent the loss of more than 500 linear fort of stream beds
and/or 3 acres of wetlands by Nationwide Permit 26. An Individual Pwnit would rely be
requited if project impacts exceed these thresholds. A wetland delineation map and the site
developmwrt plan can be used to determine a projects eligibility for Nationwide wetland permits.
Fiudm
Potential wetland areas an the site were evaluated for the presence of hydrio soils and evidence of
hydrology and vegetation. In these areas, hydrologic proof would be in the existence of hydnc soils
with oxidized root channels in the upper 12 inches of the "A" horizon. Other indicators of
hydrology include, water borne deposits, drift Imes, scour marks, and regional indicators of soil
saturation, etc.

05/09/2000 16:43 9198469467 S EC PAGE 04
Aflar close examination of the soil borings, we found stained leaves, oxidized dd2ospheres,
buttressed trees, and water marks on trees for wetlands designation in the potential wetland areas.
A copy of this report is being forwarded to the Corps requesting that they confirm our
delineation and to DWQ requesting that they concur with our findings that no areas subject
to the Neuse Basin Buffer Rules exist on the site.
Permitting
Wetland impact permits are issued on a per-project basis as determined by the Army Corps of
Ehoeers. the Corps has determined that impacts on parcels sub-divided from larger trade are
sometimes emsidered to be cumulative to existing impacts for the large tract. If this is the case,
then thresholds as discussed below may not apply and impacts to wetlands must be
considered in light of existing permits.
Prior constnuction notification to the Corps is not required for impacts less than 1/3 acre above
headwaters if impacts to stream beds are less than 500 linear feet and if no other Nationwide
Permit is required. Prior construction, notification to DWQ is not required for impacts less than
1/3 acres above headwaters if impacts to channels are less than 150 linear feet. If impacts are
greater than 1/3 acres or 1501 of channel and are due to commercial development (including
schools) then a store water pond may be required. (Headwaters is defined as a stream with
an average flow of 5 cfs; in this area, roughly a 3,500 acre drainage area).
Impacts to vegetated wetlands in excess of these thresholds may require m tWtican. Wetland
m tigation is a complex process that requires planning and monitoring. S&EC will discuss
mitigation issues with you if we believe your project may require mitigation.
Impacts to channels in excess of the linear footage thresholds may require mitigation. Channel
mitigation is typically intended to replace lost significant aquatic functions and values. Relocating
channels is considered to be an adverse impact and typically results in mitigation within the now
channel. This mitigation typically requires that meanders be created and side-slopes and beds be
vegetated; zip-rap is disco-aged. There are no jurisdictional channels on the site.
Nationwide Permits and prior construction notifications have a maximum 45 day processing period
while Individual Permits have no maximum processing period. Recent rule changes require that all
impacts to wetlands, less than 1/3 acre, be reported to the Corps within 30 days of the completion
of construction. DWQ has a 60 day processing period for 401 Certifications.
SUC, Inc. has not reviewed a final. site plan for this property and cannot accurately assess the
permitting needs. Nationwide Permits can potentially be utilized if the project is designed to have
impacts of less than 500 linear feet to channels, and less than 3 acres. Individual Permits require
an analysis to determine that the proposed impact is the least envirmnentally damaging practical
alternative and typically require compensatory mitigation.
If you goose to have us perform additional work, the following is a listing of additional services.
Now= required by law unless impacts are proposed, but some clients prefer to have then:
Request that the Corps verify our delineation, notification to the Corps & DWQ regarding impacts
to wedands.
Please call if you need :further explanation.
