Also included with this application package is a preliminary jurisdictional determination (JD) request with supporting documentation. As shown on Figure 3 of the jurisdictional determination request package, the Pine Plaza Roadway Project crosses two areas covered by active jurisdictional determinations. The enclosed preliminary JD request is for the area of the Pine Plaza Roadway project not covered by an active JD. Similarly, a buffer determination was issued by NCDWQ on March 29, 2006 (documentation attached) and is still valid per Session Law 2010 -177. Kimley -Horn delineated jurisdictional features within the study area on July 25, 2013 and February 6, 2014, confirming the features covered by the active JDs, and identifying two additional intermittent stream features within the study area. The Town of Apex is proposing to construct approximately 0.5 miles of new roadway corridor through a currently forested tract north of US 64, connecting two existing stubs of Pine Plaza Drive. The proposed roadway project will provide a new east -west connector road to improve local connectivity in this area while reducing congestion in this developing area of Apex and will provide safe access between Lake Pine Drive and Laura Duncan Road without entering US 64. Permanent impacts to jurisdictional streams and protected riparian buffers will result from the construction of the roadway corridor and associated facilities. The proposed alignment has been carefully selected to minimize impacts to the extent practical, and all stream and riparian buffer crossings will be perpendicular to minimize impacts. The alignment utilizes a large S curve to allow the perpendicular crossing of the main drainage feature within the tract (Stream S3), and the eastern end of the alignment will only minimally impact streams S1 and S2 (4 and 47 linear feet, respectively). Stream S3 will be culverted beneath the proposed roadway and riprap fill material will be placed in the channel for outlet protection resulting in 149 linear feet of permanent stream impact. All impacts Kimley) ))Horn Page 2 have been minimized to the extent practical, and impacted areas within the riparian buffer will be reseeded, however all riparian buffer impacts have been listed as permanent due to the removal of woody vegetation. Stormwater treatment for the roadway corridor is proposed as shown in the attached plan sheets and has been reviewed by Town of Apex staff. To facilitate your review of this application package, the following attachments have been included: • PCN Application Form • Agent Authorization • Figures and Impact Maps • NCDWQ Stream Identification Forms • USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheets • Adjacent Jurisdictional Determination Documentation • NCDWQ Buffer Determination Documentation • Plan Sheets • NCDWR 401 Application Fee of $570 • Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request Package If there is any additional information you need to assist in the processing of this NWP and jurisdictional determination application package, please do not hesitate to contact me at jason.hartshorn @Kimley - Horn.com or (919) 6784155.

Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 41 Comments: Stream S1 is a headwater stream that begins north of US64 and flows north towards an offsite stream.

Notes: Stream S3 is a Iona intermittent channel that bisects the oroiect area. S3 has the largest upstream drainage area of any of the features on the site, but this leads to heavy stormwater input through the stream system. Due to the stormwater input, the upper reaches of S3 score out to intermittent, but the system is likely very flashy and does not flow due to groundwater input.

Channel sinuosity: Straight 00ccasional bends W Frequent meander OVery sinuous Braided channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 51 Comments: Stream S4 begins offsite at a stormwater BMP associated with a new car dealership immediately adjacent to the project area. S4 begins as an intermittent stream, and changes to a perennial channel at the confluence with S3. No flow was observed in the channel despite recent rainfall. Evidence of over bank flow was present throughout the reach, with good sediment deposition and moderate in- channel structures developing. Evaluator's Signature Date 07/25/2013 This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change - version 06/03.

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 approved JD for,the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that 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) that 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) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water °bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD 2 will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further -, an approved JD, 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, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be "waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.
