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:
A portion of the property parcel (2.70 acres) on which the project is located has been placed into a conservation
easement. However, the utility easements referenced within this application have been surveyed and are shown on
Figure 3.1. The site has been previously cleared and consists of scrub shrub and palustrine emergent vegetation.
General land use in the vicinity is primarily residential and commercial.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
There is approximately 0. 16 acre of wetland located within the project boundary.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
There is approximately 293 linear feet of stream located within the project boundary.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to authorize temporary wetland and stream impacts for the installation of a water
and sewer line.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project includes the installation of a water and sewer line (Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2). These infrastructural
improvements are associated with the resale or future development of the remaining 9.76 acres of available land (not
included in the conservation easement) within the project parcel. Typical construction and earth moving equipment would
be utilized. Erosion control devices and best management practices would be utilized as well. The utility lines would be
installed using the "trench -cut" method. After installation, impacted wetlands and stream beds and banks would be
returned to original contours and stabilized with matting and appropriate seed (Figure 3.3 and Figure 3.4). No work will be
conducted within the streams and stream buffers during October 15 to April 15 in accordance with the trout moratorium.

Jurisdictional wetlands and waters identified on this map have been located within sub-
meter accuracy utilizing a Trimble mapping grade Global Positioning System (GPS) and
the subsequent differential correction of that data. GPS points may demonstrate dr -
uncorrectable errors due to topography, vegetative cover, and/or multipath signal error.
Note : The illustrated wetland and stream locations are approximate. These areas have
been flagged in the field; however, they have not been surveyed. Although Clearwater
Environmental Consultants. Inc. (CEC) is confident in our assessment, the US Army Corps $�
of Engineers (Corps) is the only agency that can make final decisions regarding
jurisdictional wetland and waters of the US delineations. Therefore, all preliminary
determinations are subject to change until written verification is obtained. CEC strongly a
recommends that written verification be obtained from the Corps prior to closing on the
beginning an site work, or making an legal reliance on this determination.

D. ❑ The jurisdictional areas within the above described project area have been identified under a previous action.
Please reference jurisdictional determination issued . Action ID
Basis of Jurisdictional Determination:
The site contains wetlands as determined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the
Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and
Piedmont Region. These wetlands are abutting to stream channels located on the property that exhibit indicators of
ordinary high water marks. The stream channels in the permit area are unnamed tributaries to the Chattooga River
and are relatively permanent waters (RPW). The unnamed tributaries to the Chattooga River flow into Chattooga
River (a RPW), which flows into the Tugaloo River (a RPW), then into the Savannah River (a Section 10 River in
South Carolina) that drains into the Atlantic Ocean. Stream channels in the permit area have perennial flow and an
ordinary high water mark. This jurisdictional determination is valid for the impact areas only.

copy submittals include at least one original Plat (to scale) that is no larger than l 1"x17'
(the use of match lines for larger tracts acceptable). Additional copies of a plat, including
those larger than 11 "x 17", may also be submitted for Corps signature as needed. The
Corps also accepts electronic submittals of plats, such as those transmitted as a Portable
Document Format (PDF) file. Upon verification, the Corps can electronically sign these
plats and return them via e-mail to the requestor.
Plats submitted for approval must:
❑ be sealed and signed by a licensed professional land surveyor
❑ be to scale (all maps must include both a graphic scale and a verbal scale)

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
