Jurisdictional Delineation
On June'24, 2014, CWS's Kelly Thames, Wetland Professional in Training (WPIT) and Dan McCauley
delineated jurisdictional waters of the U S within the project area (Figure 5, attached) Jurisdictional areas were
delineated (flagged in the field) using the U S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On -Site
Determination Method This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual4,
the 2007 USACE Jurisdictional Determination Form Instructional Guidebooks, with further technical guidance
from the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplemene, dated April 2012 A Wetland Determination
Data Form representative of non- junsdictional upland areas has been attached as DPI. Wetland Determination
Data Forms representative of on -site junsdictional wetland areas are attached as DP2 and DP3 The locations of
these data points are identified as DP I — DP3 on Figures 5 and 6 (attached)
Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to recent USACE and North Carolina Division of
Water Resources ( NCDWR) guidance These classifications included sampling with a D- shaped dip net, taking
photographs, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which a channel changes classification) within
each on -site stream channel NCDWR Stream Classification Forms and USACE Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheets representative of Streams A — D are attached (SCP 1— SCP4) The locations of these stream
classification points are identified as SCP1 — SCP4 on Figure 5 (attached) The approximate wetland
boundaries, stream channels, and data points were recorded using a sub -meter Trimble Geo -XT GPS unit.
Results
The results of the on -site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there are four j unsdictional stream
channels (Streams A, B, C, and D) and rune junsdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF,
GG, HH, and 11) located within the project area (Figures 5 and 6, attached) On- Sitejunsdictional streams
include unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Goose Creek Goose Creek is part of the Yadkm -Pee Dee River Basin
(HU# 03040105)' and is classified as "Class C Waters" by the NCDWR According to the NCDWR, Class
C Waters are defined as "Waters protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish
consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and
agriculture "
On -Site junsdictional waters of the U S total approximately 134 acres (58,370 square feet), including 6,031
linear feet of stream channel On -Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S are summarized in Table 1 (next page)

Perennial Relatively Permanent Waters
Perennial Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs) are those that typically have year -round flow These streams
typically have greater biological resources than seasonal RPWs and non -RPWs and are capable of supporting
those resources that require perennial flow This section describes the on -site perennial RPW streams and the
field observations supporting these determinations
Stream A originates off site and flows southeast along the middle of the project area for approximately 5,818
linear feet until continuing off site (Figure 5, attached) Stream A exhibits strong flow, a five to 10 foot average
ordinary high water width, substrate consisting of cobble and gravel with bedrock outcrops, a moderate
presence of crayfish, and a strong presence of amphibians Stream A was classified as a Relatively Permanent
Water with Perennial Flow (RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance Perennial RPW Stream A scored 75
out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 415 out of a possible
69 5 points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form, indicating perennial status (SCP1, attached)
Photograph A (attached) is representative of Perennial RPW Stream A
s Classifications of streams include Traditionally Navigable Waters (TNWs), Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs), and Non - Relatively
Permanent Waters (Non -RPWs) Subcategories of RPWs include perennial streams that typically have year -round flow, and seasonal streams
that have continuous flow at least seasonally Two classifications ofjurisdictional wetlands are used to describe proximity and connection to
TNWs These classifications include either adjacent or directly abutting Adjacent wetlands are defined as wetlands within floodplams or to
close proximity to a TN W but without a direct visible connection Abutting wetlands have a direct surface water connection traceable to a TN W

Stream B originates off site and flows east in the southern portion of the project area for approximately 74 linear
feet to its confluence with Perennial RPW Stream A (Figure 5, attached) Stream B exhibits strong flow, a
three to four foot average ordinary high water width, substrate consisting of cobble and gravel, a weak presence
of macrobenthos, and a moderate presence of amphibians Stream B was classified as a Relatively Permanent
Water with Perennial Flow (RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance Perennial RPW Stream B scored 34
out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 30 out of a possible 69 5
points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form, indicating perennial status (SCP2, attached) Photograph B
(attached) is representative of Perennial RPW Stream B
Seasonal RPWs
Seasonal RPWs are those streams that exhibit continuous flow seasonally This flow regime is the result of a
lowering of the water table during dry periods that stops groundwater discharge to the stream channel Seasonal
streams do not typically support aquatic life requiring year -round flow for reproductive and maturation stages
Stream C exits a pipe on site in the northern portion of the site and flows east across the project area for
approximately 54 linear feet to its confluence to Perennial RPW Stream A (Figures 5 and 6, attached) Stream
C exhibited strong flow, a one to three foot average ordinary high water width, substrate consisting of sand and
gravel, a weak presence of crayfish, and a moderate presence of amphibians Stream C was classified as a
Relatively Permanent Water with seasonal flow (RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance Seasonal RPW
Stream C scored 31 out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 27
out of a possible 69 5 points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form, indicating intemmttent status (SCP3,
attached) Photograph C (attached) is representative of Seasonal RPW Stream C
Stream D originates off site and flows east in the southern portion of the project area for approximately 85 linear
feet to its confluence with Perennial RPW Stream A (Figure 5, attached) Stream D exhibited strong flow, a one
to three foot average ordinary high water width, substrate consisting of sand and mud, and a weak presence of
amphibians Stream D was classified as a Relatively Permanent Water with Seasonal Flow (RPW) according to
USACE/EPA guidance Seasonal RPW Stream D scored 30 out of a possible 100 points on the USACE
Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 28 out of a possible 69 5 points on the NCDWR Stream
Classification Form, indicating intermittent status (SCP4, attached) Photograph D (attached) is representative

Wetlands
The USACE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define wetlands as "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 " 9 The USACE uses three parameters to identify junsdictional wetlands These parameters are as
follows 1) Hydrophytic Vegetation, 2) Wetland Hydrology, and 3) Hydnc Soils Except in certain atypical
situations, all three parameters must be present in order for an area to be determined to be a j unsdictional
wetland This section describes each on- sitejunsdictional wetland and the field observations that led to their
detemunations
Wetlands AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, and HH are approximately 0 14, 0 10, 0 01, 0 02, 0 06, and 0 02 acre in extent,
respectively, and are forested wetlands (PFOIE). Wetlands AA, BB, EE, and HH are located directly abutting
Perennial RPW Stream A and Wetlands CC and DD are located adjacent to Perennial RPW Stream A (Figures

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
CWS consulted the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) online GIS service10 and found no sites of
architectural, historical, or archaeological significance within the project limits. Additionally, a letter was
forwarded to SHPO on October 21, 2014 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or
archaeological significance that would be affected by the project As of the date of submittal, no response has
been received from the SHPO
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program ( NCNHP) on October 21, 2014, to
determine the presence of any candidate or federally - listed endangered or threatened species, or critical habitat
located within the project area As of the date of submittal, no response has been received from the NCNHP
CWS also reviewed the NCNHP elemental occurrence GIS layer Based on this review there are no current
elemental occurrences within a mile of the project site
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of the project is to develop approximately 50 acres of property into a retirement community
consisting of 93 single family homes and to provide sanitary sewer service for the new development (Figures 7-
9) This project will helpmeet the increasing demand for retirement communities in the Charlotte region
Impacts to on -site junsdictional waters are necessary in order to provide sanitary sewer service to the proposed
development
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by constructing approximately 4,850 linear feet of 8 -mch sanitary sewer
line and tying into an existing sewer (Figure 9, attached). The sewer line will be running southeast inside the
Goose Creek riparian buffer, parallel to Stream A

Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on -site J unsdictional waters of the U S have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable
The Courtyards at Emerald Lake project has been designed to avoid Impacts to jurisdictional waters
wherever possible and minimize the extent of necessary Impacts to Jurisdictional waters. The following
paragraphs outline the avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken during the planning and design phase
of this project
Avoidance
Jurisdictional Waters of the U S have been avoided wherever possible Impacts were completely avoided on
Wetlands AA, CC, DD EE, FF, HH and most of the Wetland BB remains undisturbed The proposed trail
Inside the Goose Creek Riparian buffer is outside the 50 -foot Inner part of the buffer to avoid the stream
disturbances to the maximum extent possible
Impacts to the Jurisdictional waters are united to one utility crossing of Stream A and two utility crossings of
wetlands These crossings are necessary in order to tie into the existing sewer line Other constraints on the
sewer route were also taken into account These constraints include property ownership, site topography, and
geology. In areas where Impacts to Jurisdictional waters of the U S are unavoidable, steps have been taken to
minimize both the extent and seventy of the Impacts
Minimization
Tree removal within the riparian buffer during path construction will be minimal, if not completely avoided
The plan Is to weave the path through the woods avoiding Impacts to the trees Proper sediment and erosion
control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters All unavoidable stream
crossings will be at a near perpendicular angle All channel work will be constructed In the dry in
accordance with Water Quality Certification No 3890
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No 29, unavoidable permanent impacts to Jurisdictional waters of the
U S associated with this project are limited to a total of approximately 0 053 acre of Jurisdictional wetland
area and 0 061 acre of Goose Creek riparian buffer (Figures 7 -9, attached)
TemDorary Impacts
Proposed impacts include installing 8" sanitary sewer within the Goose Creek riparian buffer The possible
maximum length for the sanitary sewer within the Goose Creek Riparian buffer is approximately 4,850 linear
feet (10 This will result in a total of 5 acres temporary Impacts to the buffer However, Impacts due
construction of a sanitary sewer in the riparian buffer are allowable with approval according the Goose Creek
buffer rules''. Installation of the sanitary sewer will also have temporary Impacts on Perennial RPW Stream A
(8610, Seasonal Stream D (431f), Wetland BB (0 005 acre), Wetland GG (0 011 acre), and Wetland H (0 029
acre) (Figures 8 & 9)
Permanent Impacts
Filling for the purpose of constructing condominium units will result in 0 03 acre permanent Impact on Wetland
BB (Figure 8) Installation of a Rip Rap apron will cause 0 006 acre permanent Impact on Wetland GG (Figure

application
The project area is approximately 50 acres in extent and consists of undeveloped wooded land Typical on -site
vegetation includes loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), red maple (Acer rubrum), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), winged elm
(Ulmus alata), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Johnson grass (Sorghum
halepense), sawtooth blackberry (Rubus argutus), and greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia) An aerial photograph of the
project area is attached (Figure 2)
3b
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
052 ac
3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property
139 linear feet of intermittent stream, 5,892 linear feet of perennial stream
3d
Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The purpose of the project is to develop approximately 50 acres of property into a retirement community consisting of 93
single family homes and to provide sanitary sewer service for the new development (Figures 7 -9) This project will help
meet the increasing demand for retirement communities in the Charlotte region Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters
are necessary in order to provide sanitary sewer service to the proposed development
3e
Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No 29, unavoidable permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U S associated
with this project are limited to a total of approximately 0 053 acre of jurisdictional wetland area and 0 061 acre of Goose
Creek riparian buffer (Figures 7 -9, attached)
Temporary Impacts
Proposed impacts include installing 8" sanitary sewer within the Goose Creek riparian buffer The possible maximum
length for the sanitary sewer within the Goose Creek Riparian buffer is approximately 4,850 linear feet (If) This will result
in a total of 5 acres temporary impacts to the buffer However, impacts due construction of a sanitary sewer in the
riparian buffer are allowable with approval according the Goose Creek buffer rules Installation of the sanitary sewer will
also have temporary impacts on Perennial RPW Stream A (86 If), Seasonal Stream D (43 If), Wetland BB (0 005 acre),
Wetland GG (0 011 acre), and Wetland II (0 029 acre) (Figures 8 & 9)
Permanent Impacts
Filling for the purpose of constructing condominium units will result in 0 03 acre permanent impact on Wetland BB (Figure
8) Installation of a Rip Rap apron will cause 0 006 acre permanent impact on Wetland GG (Figure 8) An asphalt path
running through the Riparian Buffer will also cause 0 06 acre of permanent impact (Figure 8) Maintaining the sewer
right -of -way will have 0 011 acre permanent impact on Wetland GG and 0 011 acre permanent impact on Wetland II
Typical construction equipment, such as trachoe, will be used

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1 Avoidance and Minimization
1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The Courtyards at Emerald Lake project has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever possible and
minimize the extent of necessary impacts to jurisdictional waters The following paragraphs outline the avoidance and
minimization efforts undertaken during the planning and design phase of this project
Avoidance
Jurisdictional Waters of the U S have been avoided wherever possible Impacts were completely avoided on Wetlands AA,
CC, DD EE, FF, HH and Most of the Wetland BB remains undisturbed The proposed trail inside the Goose Creek Riparian
buffer is outside the 50 ft inner part of the buffer to avoid the stream disturbances to the maximum extent possible
Impacts to the jurisdictional waters are limited to one utility crossing of Stream A and two utility crossings of wetlands These
crossings are necessary in order to tie into the existing sewer line Other constraints on the sewer route were also taken into
account These constraints include property ownership, site topography, and geology In areas where impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters of the U S are unavoidable, steps have been taken to minimize both the extent and severity of the
impacts
Minimization
Tree removal within the riparian buffer during path construction will be minimal, if not completely avoided The plan is to
weave the path through the woods avoiding impacts to the trees Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used
to minimize disturbances to downstream waters All unavoidable stream crossings will be at a near perpendicular angle All
channel work will be constructed in the dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification No 3890

APPLY):
❑ Office (Desk) Determination Date
® Field Determination Date(s) June 24, 2014
1 The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
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
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
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:

Surveyor electronically submit a draft of a Survey Plat to the Corps project manager for
review.
Due to storage limitations of our administrative records, the Corps requires that all hard -
copy submittals include at least one original Plat (to scale) that is no larger than 11 "x17'
(the use of match lines for larger tracts acceptable). Additional copies of a plat, including
those larger than 11 "x17', 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)
❑ be legible
❑ include a North Arrow, Scale(s), Title, Property Information
❑ include a legible WoUS Delineation Table of distances and bearings /metes and
bounds /GPS coordinates of all surveyed delineation points

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

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): 30 Comments:
Evaluator's Signature I f V Date 6 -24 -14
This channel evaluation form is inten d 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 in order 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 05/03 To Comment, please call 919 - 876 -8441 x 26
