Hartley Director- Facilities Design and Construction WCPSS 1429 Rock Quarry Road Suite 116 Raleigh, North Carolina 27606 Re: Wetland Delineation Proposed E -36 Off -Site Improvements Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina F &R Project No. 66S -0208 Property Description: Size (acres): " 1 mile of road improvements Nearest Town: Raleieh, NC Nearest Waterway: Beaverdam Creek River Basin: Neuse USGS HUC: 03020201 Coordinates: 35.819174, - 78.522752 Location: Alone both sides of Tarheel Road and Old Milburnie Road in Raleigh, Wake County, NC. Mr. Hartley: Froehling & Robertson, Inc., (F &R) presents herein the results of the wetland delineation conducted at the above - referenced property located along both sides of Tarheel Road and old Milburnie Road in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina (see Figure No. 1 in Attachments for site location map). The Project involves off -site improvements to the proposed E -36 Elementary School located in the southwest corner of the Tarheel Clubhouse Road and Tarheel Club Road. The improvements include connecting to the existing sewerline located south of the proposed school and may impact the current road alignments along Tarheel Clubhouse Road, Tarheel Club road and Old Milburine Road. F &R understands that the Proposed E -36 School Site was previously delineated by S &ME in March 20.14 under project No. 1305 -14 -028. A copy of the school site delineation is attached. Based on F &R's information review and on -site observations, four jurisdictional streams, three wetlands, and one open body of water were identified on the project site. The streams and wetlands are located in the Neuse River Basin and are subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) have confirmed jurisdiction and their concurance is attached. Additional wetlands or other potentially jurisdictional surface features were not documented or observed on the project site.

F &R reviewed applicable information sources to identify areas on the project site that could be considered "Waters of the US" (i.e., wetland, stream, and open water features) and subject to jurisdiction by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), United States Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) and /or North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). On -site identification of wetlands was performed in general accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and subsequent COE clarification memorandums. On -site identification of streams was performed in general accordance with the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and the NC -DWR Identification Methods of the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams. INFORMATION REVIEW F &R reviewed the following resources prior to visiting the project site: aerial photographs (Google Earth) United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1:24,000 -scale topographic map, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey, and National Wetland Inventory (NWI). Please see the attached figures for copies of relevant portions of the above - referenced maps. A review of Google Earth's 2014 aerial photograph depicts Beaverdam Lake but no streams or wetlands. The USGS Topo maps Beaverdam Lake and four streams, but no wetlands on the project site. The Soil Survey maps Beaverdam Lake and four streams but no wetlands on the project site. The NWI map Beaverdam Lake and one stream (Beaverdam Creek) and one wetland located west of Tarheel Club Road and North of Old Milburnie Road. ON -SITE OBSERVATIONS The project site currently consists of mostly wooded land with some cleared land including two mowed easements. Based on F &R's on -site observations, four jurisdictional streams were observed in the field along with three wetlands and one open body of water. One of the jurisdictional streams is perennial while three are intermittent. The streams and lake are within the Neuse River basin and require buffers. The USACE and NC DWR have confirmed jurisdiction. The approximate location of mapped surface features is shown in the Attachments. The streams, their jurisdictional classification, and their buffer status are shown below. Buffered Features: • S100 (C) Intermittent Stream • S200 (C) Intermittent Stream (downstream reach of 5100) • S300 (B) Intermittent Stream • S400 (A) Perineal Stream (Beaverdam Creek) • L100 Open Water (Beaverdam Lake) Non - Buffered Features: • W1,000 Wetland • W2,000 Wetland (Connects to W1,000 to form one wetland) • W4,000 Wetland Proposed E -36 Off -Site Improvements 2 October 30, 2014 Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina F &R Project No. 66S -0208 f�R F &R recommends that plans for development of the subject property consider the USACE and NC -DWR procedures for assessing impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and /or streams (i.e., avoid, minimize, and mitigate) to optimize permitting strategies. If proposed development on the project site does not result in impacts to jurisdictional areas or the areas immediately adjacent to their boundaries a USACE permit will not be necessary. Typical activities requiring USACE permitting include, but are not limited to, depositing of fill or dredged material in wetlands; site development fill; construction of revetments, groins, breakwaters, levees, dams, dikes, open trenches, and weirs; and placement of riprap and road fill. If impacts to these areas are anticipated, F &R recommends that site plans be developed that optimize permitting strategies to comply with the USACE, NC -DWR, and local municipality procedures for assessing impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and /or "Waters of the US" (i.e., avoid, minimize, and mitigate).

The 21.5 acre proposed elementary school project site is the the northern portion of an approximately 184 -acre parcel of land located in the southern quadrant of the intersection of Tarheel Club Road and Tarheel Clubhouse Road, St. Matthews Township, Wake County, North Carolina. This parcel is more particularly described as a portion of the parcel having Wake County PIN# 1745029854 and Wake County REID# 0005362. These services were performed in general accordance with S &ME Proposal 13- 1400053 -B dated January 24, 2014. Figure 1 and Figure 2 depict the location of the site on a US Geologic Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangle map and US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) Wake County soil survey map, respectively. Figure 3 depicts a 2011 color aerial (orthophotograph) map of the site. SCOPE OF SERVICES - The preliminary wetlands /waters of the U.S. assessment consisted of traversing the- property to examine soils, vegetation, and hydrology across the site in search of areas that 'meet the minimum criteria for jurisdictional wetlands as described by the procedures set forth in the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) "Wetlands Delineation r Manual" (January 1987 —Final Report). Proof of wetland hydrology would be the S&ME, INC. 13201 Spring Forest Road / Raleigh, NC 27616 / p 919.872.2660 IF 919.876.3958 1 www.smeinc.com - Report for Natural Resource Services S &ME Project No. 1305 - 14-028 WCPSS E36, St. Matthews Township, Wake County, NC March 17, 2014 existence of hydric soils with oxidized root channels in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, water borne deposits, drift lines, scour marks, drainage patterns, regional indicators of soil saturation, etc. It is important to note that wetlands are also classified as waters of the US and regulated by the USACE under authority of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). On March 13, 2014, multiple hand auger borings to assess the soil conditions for evidence of hydric soil indicators and for wetland hydrology were performed in drainage areas and topographically concave areas within the project boundary. In addition, a USACE data form included as Attachment 1 was completed documenting the plant, soil and hydrology findings within the ephemeral drainage area (Feature A) shown on the attached Project Boundary / Topographic Map (Figure 4). S &ME's Neuse River stream buffer evaluation consisted of examining features on or in close proximity to the site that is shown on the most recent version of the Wake County soil survey map prepared by USDA -NRCS of the and/or the 7.5- minute quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the USGS using North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC -DWR) stream evaluation techniques. There are no streams depicted on the USGS map, however there are two intermittent streams shown within the project boundary on the Wake County soil survey map, which are labeled as Feature A and Feature B. A NC -DWR Stream Identification Form (Version 4.11) was completed for Feature A and Feature B and they are included as Attachment 2. Site photographs documenting the conditions of Feature A and Feature B are included as Attachment 3. RESULTS & RECOMMENDATIONS Our assessment indicates that there are no jurisdictional wetlands, waters of the U.S. within the proposed project boundary and that Features A and B depicted as an intermittent stream channel on the Wake County soil survey map are not subject to the Neuse River riparian buffer rules. However, site meetings with the USACE and NC- DWR are needed to confirm our findings and S &ME can provide these additional services in a separate proposal upon request. 2 Report for Natural Resource Services SWE Project No. 1305 - 14-028 WCPSS E -36, St. Matthews Township, Wake County, NC March 17, 2014 S&ME appreciates the opportunity to provide the natural resource services related to this project.

A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation /managed areas within the proposed project boundary submitted with your request for information. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' table and map. Also attached is a table summarizing rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the project boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is included for reference. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. Tables of natural areas and conservation /managed area within a one -mile radius, if any, are also included in this report. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NC Natural Heritage Program data may not be redistributed without permission from the NCNHP. Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or an occurrence of a Federally - listed species is documented within or near the project area. Thank you for your inquiry. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Allison Schwarz Weakley at allison.weaklev@ncdenr.govv or 919.707.8629.

Page 2 of 2 Definitions of Federal Status Codes: E = endangered. A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." T = threatened. A taxon 'likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing. (Formerly "C1" candidate species.) BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below. FSC= Federal Species of Concern. FSC is an informal term. It is not defined in the federal Endangered Species Act. In North Carolina, the Asheville and Raleigh Field Offices of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) define Federal Species of Concern as those species that appear to be in decline or otherwise in need of conservation and are under consideration for listing or for which there is insufficient information to support listing at this time.Subsumed under the term "FSC" are all species petitioned by outside parties and other selected focal species identified in Service strategic plans, State Wildlife Action Plans, or Natural Heritage Program Lists. T(S /A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S /A) are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below. EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential). Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land. P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or "PT ", respectively. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA): In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346- 37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668 -668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb ". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit http: / /www.fws. og v/migratoKybirdsibaideap-le.htm Threatened due to similarity of appearance(T(S /A)): In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822 - 55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S /A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S /A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T (S /A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S /A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. Definitions of Record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat. Probable /potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh /species /cntylist /wake.html 4/29/2015
