This assessment is intended to be used as a limited screening tool to indicate the likely presence or absence of wetland conditions on the subject property. The assessment is based on readily-available information presented by regulatory agencies and, if possible, site conditions described in previous reports prepared for the subject property. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these assessment services. If you have any questions concerning this report, or if we can assist you in any other matter, please contact Gary Reynolds at (206) 204-4633 or greynolds@partneresi.com. Sincerely, Partner Assessment Corporation Katie L. Morgan, WPIT Gary Reynolds Project Manager Relationship Manager Wetland Desktop Assessment Project No. 18-221787.2 August 17, 2018 Page 1 1.0 WETLAND DESKTOP ASSESSMENT Partner Engineering North Carolina PLLC (Partner) has performed a Desktop Wetland Assessment (DWA) for the subject property. Wetlands are areas that must meet three criteria: hydric soils, wetland vegetation, and wetland hydrology. The legal definition of a wetland is: Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas. (33 CFR §328.3(b)). A qualified environmental professional reviewed readily-available information presented by regulatory agencies and, if possible, site conditions described in previous reports prepared to preliminarily identify areas of interest on the subject property. 1.1 Property Description The subject property is located on the north side of Fairview Drive and the south-southeast side of Dallas Bessiemer City Highway in Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina. The subject property consists of approximately 110.24-acres of undeveloped, wooded land. According to the Gaston County Assessor, ownership is currently vested in Gastonia Industrial Realty Company. The immediately surrounding properties consist of residential dwellings, undeveloped land, and sparse commercial development along Dallas Bessiemer City Highway. 1.2 Historical Information Partner obtained available aerial photographs and historical topographic maps of the subject property and surrounding area from Environmental Data Resources (EDR). The reviewed materials are included within the attachments to this report. According to available historical sources, the subject property appears to be agricultural land and undeveloped wooded land from 1952 through 1964, and undeveloped wooded land from 1978 through present. Historically, Long Creek has been depicted along the northern property boundary and an unnamed tributary to Long Creek has been depicted along the western side of the subject property. Based on a review of available historical imagery, an areas of obvious inundation are not visible in the historical aerial photographs due to dense wooded vegetation on the subject property; however, Long Creek has been depicted along the northern property boundary and an unnamed tributary to Long Creek has been depicted along the western side of the subject property are depicted in historical topographic maps. 1.3 Current Freshwater Environments Based on a review of online imagery, freshwater environments appear to be located on the subject property. Long Creek is depicted along the northern property boundary and an unnamed tributary to Long Creek is depicted along the western side of the subject property Wetland Desktop Assessment Project No. 18-221787.2 August 17, 2018 Page 2 Review of the online United States Fish and Wildlife (USFW) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map, depicted current and/or historic wetland areas on the subject property. A portion of a 27.66-acre Palustrine Forested Broad-Leaved Deciduous Temporary Flooded (PFO1A) wetland habitat is depicted on the north side of the subject property. A portion of a 1.77-acre Riverine Intermitten Streambed Seasonally Flooded (R4SBC) wetland habitat is depicted along the western side of the subject property. A portion of a Riverine Lower Perennial Unconsolidated Bottom Permanently Flooded (R2UBH) wetland habitat, identified as Long Creek, is located along the northern property boundary of the subject property. A copy of the historical aerial photographs and supporting soil information along with the USFW NWI map, is included within the attachments to this report. 1.4 Vegetation According to the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual, hydrophytic vegetation is defined as the sum total of macrophytic plant life that occurs in areas where the frequency and duration of inundation or soil saturation produce permanently or periodically saturated soils of s ufficient duration to exert a controlling influence on the plant species present. The subject property appears to be primarily undeveloped wooded land with Long Creek along the northern property boundary and an unnamed tributary to Long Creek along the western side of the subject property. According to information outlined within the online Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey, the USACE National Wetland Plant List for the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region, and current conditions on the subject property, hydrophytic wetland-type vegetation is conducive to the undeveloped/vegetated areas of the subject property. 1.5 Hydrology According to the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual, wetland hydrology is defined as an area that is inundated either permanently or periodically at mean water depths are less than or equal to 6.6 feet, or the soil is saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season of the prevalent vegetation. According to the USACE Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region (Version 2.0), wetland hydrology is present when 14 or more consecutive days of flooding or ponding, or a water table 12 inches or less below the soil surface is present, during the growing season at a minimum frequency of 5 out of 10 years unless an alternative standard has been established for a particular region or wetland type. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Gastonia North, North Carolina Quadrangle 7.5- minute series topographic map was reviewed for this DWA. According to the contour lines on the topographic map, the subject property is located at approximately 785 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The subject property is depicted on the 20134 map with vegetation and Long Creek along the northern property boundary and an unnamed tributary to Long Creek along the western side of the subject property (Figure 3). Partner performed a review of the Flood Insurance Rate Map, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Wetland Desktop Assessment Project No. 18-221787.2 August 17, 2018 Page 3 According to Community Panel Number 3710353700J, dated September 28, 2007, the southern and southwestern portions of the subject property appears to be located in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. The norther portions of the subject property appears to be located in Zone AE, special flood hazard areas and in the regulatory floodway. 1.6 Geology / Soils According to the NRCS Determinations and Delineations of Hydric Soils (TSSH Part 618.00), h ydric soils are defined as soils that, in an undrained condition, are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during a growing season to develop an anaerobic condition that supports the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation.

RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: The Bt horizon is at least 24 to 50 inches thick and extends to 40 inches or more. Depth to bedrock ranges from 6 to 10 feet or more. The soil ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid in the A horizons and is strongly acid or very strongly acid in the B and C horizons. Limed soils are typically moderately acid or slightly acid in the upper part. Content of coarse fragments range from 0 to 35 percent by volume in the A horizon and 0 to 10 percent by volume in the Bt horizon. Fragments are dominantly gravel or cobble in size. Most pedons have few to common flakes of mica in the Bt horizon and few to many flakes of mica in the BC and C horizons. The A or Ap horizon has hue of 2.5YR to 10YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 2 to 8. A horizons with value of 3 are less than 6 inches thick. The texture is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, or loam in the fine earth fraction. Eroded phases are sandy clay loam, or clay loam in the fine earth fraction. 8/15/2018 Official Series Description - CECIL Series https://soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/C/CECIL.html 2/3 The E horizon, where present, has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 to 8. It is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, or loam in the fine-earth fraction. The BA or BE horizon, where present, has hue of 2.5YR to 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 to 8. It is sandy clay loam, loam, or clay loam. The Bt horizon averages 35 to 60 percent clay in the control section but may range to 70 percent in some subhorizons. It has hue of 10R or 2.5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 6 or 8. Hue also ranges to 5YR if evident patterns of mottling are lacking in the Bt and BC horizons. Mottles that are few and random are included. The Bt horizon is clay loam, clay, or sandy clay and contains less than 30 percent silt. The BC horizon has hue of 10R to 5YR, value of 4 or 6, and chroma of 4 to 8. Mottles in shades of yellow or brown are few to common in some pedons. The texture is sandy clay loam, clay loam, or loam. The C horizon is similar in color to the BC horizon or it is variegated. It is loamy saprolite weathered from felsic, igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. COMPETING SERIES: These are the Appling, Bethlehem, Georgeville, Herndon, Madison, Nanford, Nankin, Pacolet, Saw, Tarrus, and Wedowee series in the same family. Those in closely related families are the Cataula, Chestatee, Cullen, Hulett, Lloyd, Mayodan, and Mecklenburg series. Appling soils have dominant hue of 7.5YR or yellower or where hue is 5YR it has evident patterns of mottling in a subhorizon of the Bt or BC horizon. Bethlehem soils have soft bedrock at depths of 20 to 40 inches. Cataula soils have a perched water table at 2 to 4 feet, Chestatee soils contain more than 15 percent, by volume, coarse fragments throughout. Cullen soils have more clay in the Bt horizon. Mayodan and Mecklenburg soils have mixed mineralogy and in addition, Mayodan soils formed in Triassic age sediments and Mecklenburg soils formed from basic diabase parent material. Georgeville, Herndon, Nanford, and Tarrus soils formed in Carolina slate and contain more than 30 percent silt. Hulett, Nankin, and Wedowee soils have a Bt horizon with hue of 5YR or yellower. In addition, Nankin soils formed from marine sediments. Lloyd soils have rhodic colors to depths of 40 inches or more. Madison, Pacolet, and Wedowee soils have thinner argillic horizons. Saw soils have hard bedrock at depths of 20 to 40 inches. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Cecil soils are on nearly level to steep Piedmont uplands. Slope gradients are 0 to 25 percent, most commonly between 2 and 15 percent. These soils have developed in weathered felsic igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. Average annual precipitation is about 48 inches. Mean annual soil temperature is about 59 degrees F. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: In addition to the competing Appling, Bethlehem, Cataula, Chestatee, Cullen, Lloyd, Madison, Mecklenburg, Pacolet, Saw, and Wedowee series these are the Durham, Louisburg, Rion, and Worsham series. Durham, Louisburg, and Rion soils have less clay in the Bt horizon. Worsham soils are poorly drained and are around the heads of drains. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained; medium to rapid runoff; moderate permeability. USE AND VEGETATION: About half of the total acreage is in cultivation, with the remainder in pasture and forest. Common crops are small grains, corn, cotton, and tobacco. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Piedmont of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The series is of large extent, with an area of more than 10 million acres.

COMPETING SERIES: Soils in the same family are Appling, Bethlehem, Cecil, Nankin, Pacolet, Saw, Tumbleton, and Wedowee. Appling, Cecil, Nankin, Pacolet, Tumbleton and Wedowee soils lack the many flakes of mica that produce a characteristic slick feel to Madison soil material. Bethlehem and Saw soils are moderately deep to bedrock. Nankin and Tumbleton soils are underlain by stratified Coastal Plain marine sediments. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Madison soils are on gently sloping to steep Piedmont uplands. Slopes range from 2 to 60 percent, but are mostly between 4 and 15 percent. The soils formed in residuum weathered from felsic or intermediate, high-grade metamorphic or igneous rocks high in content of mica. The mean annual air temperature ranges from 58 to 65 degrees F., and the mean annual precipitation ranges from about 40 to 65 inches. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the competing Appling, Bethlehem, Cecil, Pacolet, Saw, and Wedowee soils; and the Grover, Helena and Hulett series. Appling, Bethlehem, Cecil, Pacolet, Saw, and Wedowee soils are on similar landscape positions underlain by felsic, metamorphic or igneous rocks that are lower in mica content than the rocks from which Madison forms. The moderately well drained Helena soils have mixed mineralogy and are on toe slopes, at the heads of drains, and along small drainageways. Grover soils are fine-loamy and are typically on side slopes. Hulett soils have Bt horizons with hue of 5YR and yellower, and are on similar landscape positions as Madison. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained; runoff is medium to rapid; permeability is moderate. USE AND VEGETATION: About half the total acreage is cultivated or used for pasture. Principal crops grown are cotton, corn, wheat, oats, soybeans, peaches, apples, and vegetables. Original forest species include white, black, post, and red oaks; hickories; dogwood, sourwood; maple and elm. Shortleaf and loblolly pine were present in places and are now common, along with Virginia pine, in abandoned fields. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Piedmont of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The series is extensive.

Albertville, Badin, Carnasaw, Cunningham, Enders, Endsaw, Nason, Sweatman, and Townley soils contain sandstone, shale, or other fine-grained coarse fragments. In addition, Badin, Bengal, and Townley soils have bedrock within 20 to 40 inches. Bonwier and Urland soils have less total moisture during the growing season. Brockroad and Catharpin soils have lithologic discontinuity within the series control section. Cullen, Tatum, Totier, and Uwharrie soils have hue of 5YR or redder. Cuthbert, Kirvin, and Williamsville soils contain ironstone coarse fragments. Fluvanna soils lack mica flakes in the control section. Galilee, Gritney, Luverne, Masada, Mattaponi, and Mayodan soils lack the very firm consistence. In addition, Gritney, Luverne, and Mattaponi soils have formed in marine sediments and Masada soils have formed in old alluvium. McQueen soils contain many mica flakes in the lower Bt horizon and substratum. Remlap soils have thick sola and clay content in the series control section that ranges from 60 to 75 percent. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Vance soils are on gently sloping narrow and broad ridges and sloping to moderately steep side slopes in the Piedmont. Slopes range from 2 to 25 percent. These soils formed in residuum weathered from felsic crystalline rock, primarily aplitic granite. Mean annual precipitation is about 44 inches and mean annual air temperature is about 6l degrees F. near the type location. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are Appling, Cecil, Helena, Louisburg, Pacolet, Rion and Wedowee soils. All these soils, except Helena, lack the very firm consistence of the Bt horizon. Appling, Cecil, Pacolet, and Wedowee soils have kaolinitic mineralogy. Helena soils are in small depressions, head of drainageways, and along intermittent drainageways. Louisburg, Rion, and Wilkes soils have mixed mineralogy and less than 35 percent clay. In addition, Louisburg soils have a discontinuous Bt horizon. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Vance soils are well drained. Runoff is medium to rapid, and permeability is slow. A perched water table may occur above the Bt horizon for a few days following periods of high rainfall. USE AND VEGETATION: The principal use is for cultivated crops and pasture. The remainder is in a mixed hardwood and pine forest. Dominant tree species are white oak, southern red oak, mockernut hickory, loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, and Virginia pine. Common understory plants are American holly, flowering dogwood, sassafras, sourwood, and hophornbeam. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Piedmont of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. The series is of moderate extent. MLRA SOIL SURVEY REGIONAL OFFICE (MO) RESPONSIBLE: Raleigh, North Carolina SERIES ESTABLISHED: Franklin County, North Carolina; l938. 8/15/2018 Official Series Description - VANCE Series https://soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/V/VANCE.html 3/3 REMARKS: This description restricts the series to soils with very firm, plastic Bt horizons which lack, in the control section, low chroma mottles that are associated with wetness. Some low chroma particles and streaks in the lower Bt horizons of some pedons are incompletely weathered parent materials and not mottles indicative of wetness. Diagnostic horizons recognized in this pedon are: Ochric epipedon - the zone from the surface to a depth of 5 inches (Ap horizon). Argillic horizon - the zone from 5 to 29 inches below the surface (Bt1, Bt2, and Bt3 horizons).
