River basin: Cape Fear (03030003) 3. Project Description 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The site contains an existing abandoned landfill (City of High Point, Riverdale Drive Landfill) which stopped operations in October 1993. Surrounding properties include Randleman Lake, rural and agricultural lands with single family residences, state highway, City of High Point Eastside Waste Water Treatment Plant. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: - 0.7 acres 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: - 1,437 linear feet including Seaboard Chemical parcel. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: Overall project purpose is to implement the remedial action plan to "clean up" contaminated landfill leachate as ordered by NCDENR, Division of Waste Management, Hazardous Waste Section under two previous Administrative Order on Consents (AOC) and the Remedial Action Settlement Agreement dated December 2008 (see attached). 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The plan is to by-pass an intermittent/perennial stream known as the Northern Intermittent Stream (NIS), that is currently partially piped under the existing abandoned Riverdale Landfill, around the landfill to another modified intermittent stream known as the Pump Station Stream (PSS). The existing pipe under the landfill will remain in place. The existing "N/S" outlet will be closed and a /eachate collection well will be installed. The leachate collection well will intersect and use the existing pipe (essentially just a new manhole attachment to the existing pipe with an internal pump), be located within 200 feet of the lake, at the base of the existing landfill, uphill of the existing maintained sewer easement, greater than 50 feet from the lake and will not impact any jurisdictional areas. The collected contaminated leachate (no longer mixed with the "clean" water of the NIS stream) will be sent to an upland Natural Treatment System including a constructed wetland and phytoremediation system (34.5 acres of trees planted on the existing landfill). A physical and chemical treatment system including air stripping, aeration and ozoneoxidation methods will also be used to supplement the Natural Treatment System. Long term inspections and monitoring of the systems and waters will occur. 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the location of the culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the stream. If the culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the culvert is installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert). 3. Where riprip is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be maintained. Riprap placed in the streambed must be inserted into the bed matrix to a depth sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the streambed must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing. 4. This project shall provide energy dissipation and sheet flow for any stormwater discharges generated by the stream crossing prior to their entering the stream channel. 5. Upon completing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been finished.

Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3 Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: ' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. 2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). 3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.l. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section III.D.i.; otherwise, see Section III.B below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": B. CRARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanor have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, sldp to Section HI.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section HI.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IILC below. 1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: 8 acres Drainage area: 8 acres Average annual rainfall: 42 inches Average annual snowfall: 11 inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ® Tributary flows directly into TNW. ? Tributary flows through Pick List tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) river miles from TNW. Project waters are 1(or less) river miles from RPW. Project waters are I (or less) aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are I (or less) aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: Identify flow route to TNW5: Features empties to Randleman Lake Reservoir. Tributary stream order, if known: First. a Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and West. 5 Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW. (b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that apply Tributary is: ? Natural ? Artificial (man-made). Explain: ® Manipulated (man-altered). Explain: Naturalized channel on former landfill. Tributary properties with respect to top of bank (estimate): Average width: 3 feet Average depth: 0.2 feet Average side slopes: Vertical (1:1 or less). Primary tributary substrate composition (check all that apply): ? Silts ® Sands ? Concrete ? Cobbles ? Gravel ? Muck ? Bedrock ? Vegetation. Type/% cover: ? Other. Explain: Tributary condition/stability [e.g., highly eroding, sloughing banks]. Explain: Overall very short banks. Presence of run/riffle/pool complexes. Explain: Few riffle/pool complexes. Tributary geometry: Relatively straight Tributary gradient (approximate average slope): 4 % (c) Flow: Tributary provides for: Ilnterinittent but not seasonal flow Estimate average number of flow events in review area/year: 20 (or greater) Describe flow regime: Other information on duration and volume: Surface flow is: Discrete and confined. Characteristics: Subsurface flow: No. Explain findings: ? Dye (or other) test performed: Tributary has (check all that apply): ® Bed and banks ® OHWM6 (check all indicators that apply): ? clear, natural line impressed on the bank ? ? changes in the character of soil ? ? shelving ® vegetation matted down, bent, or absent ? ® leaf litter disturbed or washed away ? sediment deposition ? ? water staining ? ? other (list): the presence of litter and debris destruction of terrestrial vegetation the presence of wrack line sediment sorting scour multiple observed or predicted flow events abrupt change in plant community ® Discontinuous OHWM.? Explain:In places little to no bed and bank (braided channel). If factors other than the OHWM were used to determine lateral extent of CWA jurisdiction (check all that apply): ?'

Explain: Water is clear. Small drainage area feeding stream. Identify specific pollutants, if known: Stream exists over former solid waste landfill (garbage). 6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

For each wetland, specify the following: Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:Hydrologic connection exists between the non-RPW tributary and an TNW. non-RPW has capacity to reduce pollutants reaching TNW. 2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D: 3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D: D.
