The Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification is designed to provide Copart with an assessment concerning wetlands and streams (limited to those issues identified in the report) as they exist at the subject property. Property Description The subject property is situated between Fairview Drive and Dallas Bessemer City Highway within a residential area of Gaston County. Please refer to the table below for further description of the subject property: Subject Property Data Address: Fairview Drive and Dallas Bessemer City Highway, Gastonia, North Carolina Property Use: Undeveloped/vacant land Land Acreage (Ac): 110.24 (Total) 37.17 (Parcel 1) 43.00 (Parcel 2) 30.07 (Parcel 3) Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN): 135621 (Parcel 1) 135702 (Parcel 2) 222326 (Parcel 3) Site Assessment Performed By: Katie L. Morgan, of Partner Site Assessment Conducted On: January 23-25, 2019 The subject property currently consists of 110.24 acres of undeveloped/vacant land. A gravel drive provides access to the subject property from Dallas Bessemer City Highway on the west side of the subject property. An intermittent stream flows from southwest to northeast along the northwestern and northern property boundary. Two wetland areas were identified on the subject property. Wetland A is a wet meadow wetland located along the intermittent stream on the west-central portion of the subject property. Wetland B is a forested swamp located on the northern portion of the subject property south of Long Creek. 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. Obvious inundation is not visible in the historical aerial photographs due to dense wooded vegetation on the subject property. The immediately surrounding properties consist of undeveloped/vacant parcel of land to the north across Long Creek; undeveloped/vacant parcels of land and residential (single-family homes) properties along Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page ii with Fairview Drive to the south; undeveloped/vacant parcel of land to the east; and various residential and commercial properties to the west across Dallas Bessemer City Highway. Findings According to our delineation, resource document review, and preliminary site visit observations, an intermittent stream and approximately 20.47-acres of wetlands are located on the subject property. Conclusions, Opinions and Recommendations This assessment has revealed evidence of wetlands located on the subject property. In the event the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) considers the observed features to be jurisdictional, proposed impacts to the features could require a Section 404 Permit. It is the opinion of Partner that the wetland areas on the subject property, are connected to Long Creek and the Catawba River Basin and would be considered jurisdictional and regulated by the USACE as well as by local / state agencies. If proposed development onsite will impact the observed features regulatory concurrence should be obtained. It should be noted the USACE has the ultimate authority for wetland and Waters of the United States (WoUS) determinations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the ultimate authority for official jurisdictional determinations; however, authority has been delegated to the USACE to give an approved jurisdictional determination (AJD) on potential Waters of the United States. In addition, this assessment has revealed evidence of an intermittent stream on the subject property. In the event Gaston County or the City of Gastonia considers the observed features to be jurisdictional, proposed impacts to the features could require a Section 401 Permit and a 10-foot buffer around the identified features. It is the opinion of Partner that the intermittent stream and Long Creek on the subject property would be considered jurisdictional and regulated by Gaston County or the City of Gastonia. If proposed development onsite will impact the 10-foot buffer around observed features regulatory concurrence should be obtained.

1.0 INTRODUCTION Partner has performed a Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification in general conformance with the scope and limitations as detailed in our proposal for the property located at Fairview Drive and Dallas Bessemer City Highway in the City of Gastonia, Gaston County, North Carolina (the “subject property”). The Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification is designed to provide Copart with an assessment concerning wetlands and streams (limited to those issues identified in the report) as they exist at the subject property. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of performing the Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification is to identify and characterize the existing site conditions, observe the subject property for the presence of wetlands and intermittent or perennial streams. 1.2 Scope of Work The scope of work for this Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification was performed in general conformance with the scope and limitations as detailed in our proposal. This assessment included: 1) a review of topographical maps, the National Wetlands Inventory map, and aerial photograph resources to assist with identifying suspect streams and wetland areas on the subject property; 2) a property site reconnaissance including wetland and stream data point sampling, and flagging wetland and stream boundaries; 3) preparation of a map depicting approximate locations of wetlands and streams observed on the subject property; 4) completion of this report that includes site characterization information, a discussion of applicable data, and recommendations for the subject property. 1.3 Limitations Partner warrants that the findings and conclusions contained herein were accomplished in accordance with the methodologies set forth in the Scope of Work. These methodologies are described as representing good commercial and customary practice for conducting a Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification of a property for the purpose of identifying wetlands and streams on the subject property. There is a possibility that even with the proper application of these methodologies there may exist on the subject property conditions that could not be identified within the scope of the assessment or which were not reasonably identifiable from the available information. Partner believes that the information obtained concerning the subject property is reliable. However, Partner cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that the information provided by these other sources is accurate or complete. The conclusions and findings set forth in this report are strictly limited in time and scope to the date of the evaluations. The conclusions presented in the report are based solely on the services described therein, and not on scientific tasks or procedures beyond the scope of agreed-upon services or the time and budgeting restraints imposed by the Client. No other warranties are implied or expressed. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 2 Some of the information provided in this report is based upon research of available documents, records, and maps held by the appropriate government and private agencies. This report is subject to the limitations of historical documentation, availability, and accuracy of pertinent records. 1.5 Limiting Conditions The findings and conclusions contain all of the limitations inherent in these methodologies that are referred to the 1987 USACE Manual Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Region Version 2.0 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, April 2012); and the Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams Version 3.1 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality, February 28, 2005). Specific limitations and exceptions to this Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification are more specifically set forth below: • The site reconnaissance was conducted outside of the growing season and dieback of herbaceous plants and loss of deciduous leaf cover, typical of winter months, was encountered in the field. The available datum required to accurately identify trees, shrubs, and certain herbaceous vegetation to species was limited and significantly reduced compared to warmer months. Based on available vegetation and leaf litter, at the time of the site reconnaissance, this limitation is not expected to alter the overall findings of this assessment. • The North Carolina Stream Identification Form for Stream Identification Sample Point 1 was completed approximately 4 hours after a rain event that produced 0.24-inches of precipitation in the vicinity of the subject property. The North Carolina Stream Identification Form for Stream Identification Sample Point 2 was completed within 24 hours of the 0.24-inch rain event, and an additional 0.58-inch rain event which ended approximately 1 hour prior to sample collection. Due to the rain events “Presence of Baseflow” was not rated at the Stream Identification Sample Points. Omitting “Presence of Baseflow” evaluation did not alter the rating of the stream. Based on intermittent stream rating at each sample point with or without evaluating “Presence of Baseflow”, this limitation is not expected to alter the overall findings of this assessment. Due to time constraints associated with this report, the Client has requested the report despite the above- listed limitations. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 3 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Site Location and Legal Description The subject property is situated between Fairview Drive and Dallas Bessemer City Highway in Gastonia, North Carolina, is located on the north side of Fairview Drive and the west side of Dallas Bessemer City Highway. According to the Gaston County Assessor, the subject property ownership is currently vested in GASTONIA INDUSTRIAL REALTY CO since 1988 and is comprised of three parcels totaling 110.24 acres. Please refer to Figure 1: Site Location Map, Figure 2: Site Plan, Figure 3: Topographic Map, and Appendix A: Site Photographs for the location and site characteristics of the subject property. 2.2 Current Property Use The subject property is currently vacant wooded land. The subject property is designated for I-2 Industrial development by the City of Gastonia. 2.3 Physical Setting Sources 2.3.1 Topography The United States Geological Survey (USGS), Gastonia North, North Carolina Quadrangle 7.5-minute series topographic map was reviewed for this report. 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 2014 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 A copy of the most recent topographic map is included as Figure 3 of this report. 2.3.2 Hydrology According to topographic map interpretation, the direction of groundwater in the vicinity of the subject property is inferred to flow toward the northeast. 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. Obvious inundation is not visible in the historical aerial photographs due to dense wooded vegetation on the subject property. 2.3.3 Geology/Soils The subject property is situated within the Southern Outer Piedmont of the Piedmont ecoregion in North Carolina. The Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregion has lower elevations, less relief, and less precipitation than the Southern Inner Piedmont ecoregion. The landform class is mostly irregular plains. Pine (mostly loblolly and shortleaf) dominates on old field sites and pine plantations, while mixed oak forest is found in less heavily altered areas. Gneiss, schist, and granite are typical rock types, covered with deep saprolite and mostly red, clayey subsoils. Kanhapludults are common soils, such as the Cecil, Appling, and Madison series. Some areas within this region have more alkaline soils, such as the Iredell series, formed over diabase, diorite, or gabbro, and may be associated with areas once known as blackjack oak prairies. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 4 The subject property is situated within the Kings Mountain Belt of the Piedmont physiographic province of the State of North Carolina. The subject property is underlain by the Foliated to Massive Granitic Rock Formation. These rock formations, consist largely of megacrystic to equigranular high shoals granite. Based on information obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey online database, the subject property is mapped as Cecil sandy clay loam, 2 to 15 percent slopes, moderately eroded; Chewacla loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded; Madison sandy clay loam, 2 to 15 percent slopes, moderately eroded; Madison sandy loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes; Pacolet sandy loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes; and Vance sandy loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes. The Chewacla loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded soils are listed as hydric soils in the NRCS hydric soil list for Gaston County Area, North Carolina and are considered hydric. 2.3.4 Flood Zone Information Partner performed a review of the Flood Insurance Rate Map, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. According to Community Panel Number 3710353700J, dated September 28, 2007, the south and southwest portions of the subject property appear to be located in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. The norther portions of the subject property appear to be located in Zone AE, special flood hazard areas and in the regulatory floodway. FEMA maps typically do not reflect potential local drainage problems or the ability of the local storm water management system to convey the surface water runoff created by storms or other occurrences, and Partner expresses no opinion in this regard. A copy of the reviewed flood map is included in Appendix B of this report. 2.3.5 National Wetlands Inventory The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map of the subject property was reviewed to identify suspect wetland areas. The map was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and depicts suspect wetland areas and waterbodies based on stereoscopic analysis of high altitude aerial photographs. 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 Intermittent 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 reviewed NWI map is included in Appendix B of this report. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 5 3.0 HISTORICAL INFORMATION Partner obtained historical use information about the subject property from a variety of sources. A chronological listing of the historical data found is summarized in the table below: Historical Use Information Period/Date Source Description/Use 1952-1964 Aerial Photographs, Interviews, Topographic Maps Agricultural land and undeveloped wooded land; Long Creek to the north and an unnamed tributary to Long Creek of the west side of the property 1978-Present Aerial Photographs, Building Records, City Directories, Interviews, Onsite Observations, Sanborn Maps Undeveloped/vacant land; Long Creek to the north and an unnamed tributary to Long Creek of the west side of the property Historically, 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. Obvious inundation is not visible in the historical aerial photographs due to dense wooded vegetation on the subject property. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 6 4.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE Partner conducted a reconnaissance of the subject property on January 23-25, 2019 to characterize the existing site conditions and identify the presence of wetlands and streams on the subject property, if any. Characteristics of potential jurisdictional wetlands and streams were assessed (when applicable) utilizing the criteria detailed below. The evaluation methods generally followed the routine on-site determination method referenced in the 1987 USACE Manual Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Region Version 2.0 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, April 2012); and the Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams Version 3.1 (North Carolina Division of Water Quality, February 28, 2005). 4.1 Wetland Observations Wetlands generally have three essential characteristics: hydrophytic (wetland) vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Suspect wetland areas were identified on the subject property prior to the site reconnaissance. Vegetation, soils, and hydrology observations were performed throughout the site where access was permitted and were evaluated to determine if wetland characteristics were present. Data regarding the three essential characteristics was gathered within observed suspect wetland areas, if any, to further delineate boundaries. Partner personnel traversed the project site on foot while performing wetland observations. 4.1.1 Plant Community Assessment Suspect areas were visually observed to determine the species, when possible, and absolute percentage of ground cover for five strata of plant community types. Herbs were generally observed within a five-foot radius, shrubs/saplings within a fifteen-foot radius, and trees and vines within a thirty-foot radius of the observation location. For each species of vegetation observed, their wetland indicator status was evaluated. The indicator status was determined using the USACE National Wetlands Plant List (NWPL). Per guidance from the USACE, as of April 28, 2016, the 2016 NWPL should be used for wetland determinations and delineations (the NWPL can be found at http://rsgisias.crrel.usace.army.mil/NWPL/). According to the US Army Corps of Engineers, July 2012, National Wetland Plant List Indicator Rating Definition document, wetland indicator status ratings and their rating categories, as described in the National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands (Reed 1988) are provided in the table below. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 7 Indicator status (abbreviation) % Occurrence in wetlands Obligate (OBL). Occur almost always under natural conditions in wetlands. 99 Facultative Wetland (FACW). Usually occur in wetlands but occasionally found in non-wetlands. 67–99 Facultative (FAC). Equally likely to occur in wetlands and non-wetlands. 34–66 Facultative Upland (FACU). Usually occur in non-wetlands but occasionally found in wetlands. 1–33 Upland (UPL). Occur in wetlands in another region, but occur almost always under natural conditions in non-wetlands in the region specified. 1 * For Species listed as NI (no regional indicator) or NO (no known occurrence in the region at the time the list was compiled), the indicator status assigned to the species in the nearest adjacent region was applied. If the species is listed as NI or NO but no adjacent regional indicator is assigned the species is not used to calculate hydrophytic vegetation indicators. The percent cover of each stratum was determined and dominance was evaluated. Dominant species were the most abundant species that accounted for more than 20 percent of the absolute percent coverage of the stratum. The number of dominant species with an indicator status of OBL, FACW, and/or FAC was compared to the total number of dominant species across all strata. If all dominant species across all strata are rated OBL and/or FACW, hydrophytic vegetation was present. If all dominant species across all strata are not rated OBL and/or FACW then the dominance test is applied; and typically, when more than 50 percent of the dominant species had an indicator status of OBL, FACW, and/or FAC, hydrophytic vegetation was present. If the percentage of dominant species with an indicator status of OBL, FACW, and/or FAC was less than 50 percent, prevalence index and morphological adaptations may have been evaluated to confirm if hydrophytic vegetation was present or absent. The site reconnaissance was conducted outside of the growing season and dieback of herbaceous plants and loss of deciduous leaf cover, typical of winter months, was encountered in the field. The available datum required to accurately identify trees, shrubs, and certain herbaceous vegetation to species was limited and significantly reduced compared to warmer months. At the time of the site reconnaissance, the following vegetation species were observed in the wetland area at Sample Point 2: Acer rubrum (FAC); Fagus grandifolia (FACU); Quercus coccinea* (NI); and Ligustrum sinense (FACU). Based on the NWPL vegetation indicator status of the dominant species, the wetland area associated with Sample Point 1 is not dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 8 At the time of the site reconnaissance, the following vegetation species were observed in the wetland area at Sample Point 2: Platanus occidentalis (FACW); Fagus grandifolia (FACW); Andropogon geradii (FAC); Hydrocotyle Americana (OBL); and Pulicaria paludosa (UPL). Pulicaria paludosa was observed to be primarily rooted in adjacent upland areas, and is an established invasive species prolific in the area. Based on the NWPL vegetation indicator status of the dominant species, the dominance test for the vegetation was met, and the wetland area associated with Sample Point 2 is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. At the time of the site reconnaissance, the following vegetation species were observed in the wetland area at Sample Point 3: Celtis laevigata willd (FACW); Liquidambar styraciflua (FAC); Platanus occidentalis (FACW); Arundinaria gigantea (FACW); Ligustrum sinense (FACU); and Pulicaria paludosa (UPL). Pulicaria paludosa was observed to be primarily rooted in adjacent upland areas, and is an established invasive species prolific in the area. Ligustrum sinense was observed to be stunted in comparison to other areas it dominated on the subject property. Ligustrum sinense is an established invasive species prolific in the area. Based on the NWPL vegetation indicator status of the dominant species, the dominance test for the vegetation was met, and the wetland area associated with Sample Point 3 is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. At the time of the site reconnaissance, the following vegetation species were observed in the wetland area at Sample Point 4: Acer rubrum (FAC); Liquidambar styraciflua (FAC); Platanus occidentalis (FACW); Betula nigra L. (FACW); Quercus marilandica* (NI); Ligustrum sinense (FACU); Smilax laurifolia (OBL); and Smilax rotundifolia (FAC). Ligustrum sinense was observed to be stunted in comparison to other areas it dominated on the subject property. Ligustrum sinense is an established invasive species prolific in the area. Based on the NWPL vegetation indicator status of the dominant species, the dominance test for the vegetation was met, and the wetland area associated with Sample Point 4 is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. At the time of the site reconnaissance, the following vegetation species were observed in the wetland area at Sample Point 5: Arundinaria gigantea (FACW); Smilax laurifolia (OBL); Acer rubrum (FAC); Pulicaria paludosa (UPL); Liquidambar styraciflua (FAC); Quercus marilandica* (NI); Ligustrum sinense (FACU); and Quercus coccinea* (NI). Based on the NWPL vegetation indicator status of the dominant species, the wetland area associated with Sample Point 1 is not dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. Based on the NWPL vegetation indicator status of the dominant species, the dominance test for the vegetation was met, and the wetland area associated with Sample Point 5 is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. 4.1.2 Hydric Soils Assessment A hydric soil is a soil that forms under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. Hydric soil field indicators and a hydric soil technical standard have been developed to determine whether a soil meets the criteria for hydric soils. The soil samples were visually compared to Munsell Soil Color Charts (Munsell, 2009); and examined for hydric soil indicators. The soil sample collected at Sample Point 1 wetland area exists within the Chewacla loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded soil map unit; which is listed as a hydric soil in the NRCS hydric soil list for Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 9 Gaston County, North Carolina. A subsurface soil samples was collected to a depth of approximately 18 inches below the ground surface (bgs) at Sample Point 1. The soil profile from 0 to 2 inches bgs has a hue of 7.5YR with a value of 3 and chroma of 1 (color of 7.5YR 3/1); with 5% prominent redox concentrations in the matrix that have a color of 7.5YR 5/8.

The soil profile from 0 to 1-inch bgs has a texture of sandy loam with a matrix color of 2.5Y 3/1. The soil profile from 1 to 3 inches bgs has a texture of sandy clay loam with a matrix color of 10YR 4/2. The soil profile from 3 to 5 inches bgs has a texture of sandy clay loam with a matrix color of 7.5YR 5/6. The soil profile from 3 to 5 inches bgs has a texture of sandy clay loam with a matrix color of 7.5YR 3/4. The evaluation of the soil did not reveale the presence of field hydric soil indicators. 4.1.3 Wetland Hydrology Assessment Visual indicators of wetland hydrology were evaluated. Examples of primary wetland hydrology indicators include, but are not limited to, surface water, high water table, soil saturation, water marks, sediment deposits, drift deposits, iron deposits, inundation visible on aerial imagery, and water-stained leaves. Examples of secondary wetland hydrology indicators include, but are not limited to, surface soil cracks, drainage patterns, moss trim lines, and crayfish burrows. If at least one primary wetland hydrology indicator or two secondary wetland hydrology indicators were observed, the observation location was considered to have wetland hydrology. The following wetland hydrology indicators were observed at Sample Point 1: Surface Water (A1); Saturation (A3); Water Marks (B1); Sediment Deposits (B2); Drift Deposits (B3); Water-Stained Leaves (B9); and Drainage Patterns (B10). The following wetland hydrology indicators were observed at Sample Point 2: Geomorphic Position (D2) and Drainage Patterns (B10). The following wetland hydrology indicators were observed at Sample Point 3: Drift Deposits (B3); Water- Stained Leaves (B9); Drainage Patterns (B10); Stunted or Stressed Plants (D1); and Geomorphic Position (D2). The following wetland hydrology indicators were observed at Sample Point 4: Surface Water (A1); High Water Table (A2); Saturation (A3); Drift Deposits (B3); Water-Stained Leaves (B9); Oxidized Rhizospheres on Living Roots (C3); Presence of Reduced Iron (C4); Drainage Patterns (B10); Stunted or Stressed Plants (D1); and Geomorphic Position (D2). The following wetland hydrology indicators were observed at Sample Point 5: Geomorphic Position (D2). Geomorphic Position is a secondary indicator. Two or more secondary indicators are required for wetland hydrology to be present. As such, wetland hydrology was not present at Sample Point 5. Wetland hydrology was observed at Sample Points 1 through 4. 4.1.4 Delineation of Wetlands Upon completion and review of the three wetland criteria at each area, a wetland determination was made. Under normal circumstances, if one or more of the wetland criteria were not identified, the area was not considered to be a wetland. Additional observations were made throughout the wetland area to define the wetland/non-wetland boundary, which was flagged in the field for mapping by a licensed surveyor. Vegetation, soil, and hydrology assessment data from at least one location within identified wetland areas and one upland location outside of the identified wetland areas were recorded on a USACE Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 11 Wetland Determination Data Forms. The recorded data forms for the subject property can be found in Appendix B. The data sample point locations, and delineated wetland areas can be seen on Figure 2. 4.1 Stream Observations NC Department of Water Quality (DWQ) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins Manual and the Stream Identification Form Version 4.11, were used for the identification of ephemeral, intermittent and perennial streams using geomorphic, hydrologic and biological stream features. Each indicator outlined in the Stream Identification Form was rated on a scale of absent, weak, moderate, and strong and points for each indicator rating were given. The stream was assessed at three locations on the subject property; one at each branch of the stream (two locations); and one downstream of the joining of the two branches. Each stream assessment location indicated the stream is a perennial stream. 4.2.1 Geomorphology Indicators Geomorphology indicators were evaluated for the streams located on the subject property, which included: continuity of channel bed and bank, sinuosity of channel along thalweg, in-channel structure: riffle-pool, step-pool, ripple-pool sequence, particle size in stream substrate, active/relict floodplain, depositional bars or benches, recent alluvial deposits, head cuts, grade control, natural valley, and second (or greater) order channel. Each geomorphology indicator is given a score based on strength of presence of the indicator. For individual geomorphology indicator scores please reference the NC DWQ Stream Identification Forms Version 2.11 in Appendix B. Geomorphology scored 14.5 point at Stream Identification Sample Point 1; and 16.5 at Stream Identification Sample Point 2. 4.2.2 Hydrology Indicators Hydrology indicators were evaluated for the streams located on the subject property, which included: presence of baseflow, iron oxidizing bacteria, leaf litter, sediment on plants or debris, organic debris lines or piles, and soil-based evidence of highwater table. Each hydrology indicator is given a score based on strength of presence of the indicator. For individual hydrology indicator scores please reference the NC DWQ Stream Identification Forms Version 2.11 in Appendix B. Due to rain events within 48-hours of completing the Stream Identification Form Version 4.11, the presence of baseflow was not evaluated. Hydrology scored 7.5 point at Stream Identification Sample Point 1; and 6.5 at Stream Identification Sample Point 2. 4.2.3 Biology Indicators Biology indicators were evaluated for the streams located on the subject property, which included: fibrous roots in streambed, rooted upland plants in streambed, macrobenthos, aquatic mollusks, fish, crayfish, amphibians, algae, and wetland plants in streambed. Each biology indicator is given a score based on Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 12 strength of presence of the indicator. For individual biology indicator scores please reference the NC DWQ Stream Identification Forms Version 2.11 in Appendix B. Biology scored 6.5 point at Stream Identification Sample Point 1; and 6 at Stream Identification Sample Point 2. 4.1.5 Delineation of Streams Upon completion and review of the criteria Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams Version 3.1 at each stream reach, a stream determination was made. Under normal circumstances, if the total points across the stream indicators was equal to or greater than 19 the stream is identified as an intermittent stream; and if total points were equal to or greater than 30 the stream is identified as a perennial stream. Additional observations were made throughout the stream reach to define the ordinary highwater mark, which was flagged in the field for mapping by a licensed surveyor. Geomorphology, Hydrology, and Biology indicators are rated and recorded on the NC DWQ Stream Identification Forms Version 2.11 in Appendix B. The sample point locations, and ordinary highwater mark of the intermittent stream identified on the subject property can be seen on Figure 2. Wetland Determination, Delineation, and Stream Identification Project No. 18-221787.3 February 7, 2019 Page 13 5.0 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Findings According to our delineation, resource document review, and preliminary site visit observations, an intermittent stream and approximately 20.47-acres of wetlands are located on the subject property. Conclusions, Opinions and Recommendations This assessment has revealed evidence of wetlands located on the subject property. In the event the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) considers the observed features to be jurisdictional, proposed impacts to the features could require a Section 404 Permit. It is the opinion of Partner that the wetland areas on the subject property, are connected to Long Creek and the Catawba River Basin and would be considered jurisdictional and regulated by the USACE as well as by local / state agencies. If proposed development onsite will impact the observed features regulatory concurrence should be obtained. It should be noted the USACE has the ultimate authority for wetland and Waters of the United States (WoUS) determinations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the ultimate authority for official jurisdictional determinations; however, authority has been delegated to the USACE to give an approved jurisdictional determination (AJD) on potential Waters of the United States. In addition, this assessment has revealed evidence of an intermittent stream on the subject property. In the event Gaston County or the City of Gastonia considers the observed features to be jurisdictional, proposed impacts to the features could require a Section 401 Permit and a 10-foot buffer around the identified features. It is the opinion of Partner that the intermittent stream and Long Creek on the subject property would be considered jurisdictional and regulated by Gaston County or the City of Gastonia. If proposed development onsite will impact the 10-foot buffer around observed features regulatory concurrence should be obtained.

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.

In some pedons it is mottled in shades of red, yellow, or brown. It is saprolite of mica schist, mica gneiss, or other high-grade metamorphic or igneous rocks that are high in mica content. Textures are sandy loam, loam, or sandy clay loam. Locally, streaks or veins of soft quartz mica schist may be near the surface giving an irregular lower boundary to the Bt horizon. 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.

Area_Name: The name given to the specified geographic area. mukey: A non-connotative string of characters used to uniquely identify a record in the Mapunit table. Mapunit_SYM: The symbol used to uniquely identify the soil mapunit in the soil survey. Mapunit_Name: Correlated name of the mapunit (recommended name or field name for surveys in progress). Comp_Name_phase: Component name - Name assigned to a component based on its range of properties. Local Phase - Phase criterion to be used at a local level, in conjunction with "component name" to help identify a soil component. muacres: The number of acres of a particular mapunit. Comp_RV_Pct: The percentage of the component of the mapunit. majcompflag: Indicates whether or not a component is a major component in the mapunit. Comp_Acres: The number of acres of a particular component in a mapunit. ((muacres*comppct_r)/100) Comp_Landform: A word or group of words used to name a feature on the earth's surface, expressed in the plural form. Column Physical Hydric_Rating: A yes/no field that indicates whether or not a map unit component is classified as a "hydric soil". If rated as hydric, the specific criteria met are listed in the Component Hydric Criteria table. Hydric_criteria: Criterion code for the soil characteristic(s) and/or feature(s) that cause the map unit component to be classified as a "hydric soil." These codes are the paragraph numbers in the hydric soil criteria publication. Criteria: 1. All Histels except Folistels and Histosols except Folists; or 2. Map unit components in Aquic suborders, great groups, or subgroups, Albolls suborder, Historthels great group, Histoturbels great group, or Andic, Cumulic, Pachic, or Vitrandic subgroups that: a. Based on the range of characteristics for the soil series, will at least in part meet one or more Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, or b. Show evidence that the soil meets the definition of a hydric soil; 3. Map unit components that are frequently ponded for long duration or very long duration during the growing season that: a. Based on the range of characteristics for the soil series, will at least in part meet one or more Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, or b. Show evidence that the soil meets the definition of a hydric soil; or 4. Map unit components that are frequently flooded for long duration or very long duration during the growing season that: a. Based on the range of characteristics for the soil series, will at least in part meet one or more Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, or b.
