The watershed is located in the Raleigh Belt of the Piedmont physiographic region. The local watershed drains approximately 101 acres consisting of 56 acres of agriculture, 39 acres of forest and 6 acres of urban land uses. The site is located approximately 1260 feet north of Egypt Church Road (SR 1604) along the western property line of the Clyde Daniels Farm, south-southeast of Louisburg in Franklin County, North Carolina. The 33.93 acres that comprise the site are situated on portions of Farm Tract T3792, Field 13 (25.4 acres) and Farm Tract T3791, Field 1 (20.6 acres). Current land use/land cover is agriculture, with mixed deciduous and evergreen forest around the perimeter to the west and east, and agricultural farm fields adjacent to the site to the north and south. Historical site conditions were reviewed to understand the chronology of land use at the site and to assist in the development of an appropriate restoration strategy. Aerial photographs of the site were obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service District Office in Franklin County for the years 1938, 1955, 1973, 1982, and 2000. Based on the historical aerial photographs reviewed, it appears that the Daniels Farm Wetland Restoration Site was forested until 1982, when it was cleared and utilized for agriculture. There is no visible evidence of other mass disturbance such as filling or mining on the site in any of the reviewed photographs. A detailed soils investigation was conducted to determine the extent and distribution of the hydric soils on the site and to classify the predominate soils identified to the soil series level. The Franklin County Soil Survey classified the soils underlying the site as Altavista sandy loam. However, detailed soil mapping by KCI soil scientists identified the following primary soil series on the property: Altavista (Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aquic Hapludults), Augusta (Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aeric Endoaquults), Roanoke (Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Endoaquults), and Toisnot (Coarse- loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Typic Fragiaquults). The Roanoke and Toisnot soil series are listed as hydric soils in Franklin County because of saturation for a significant period during the growing season. Altavista and Augusta soils are not considered hydric but have inclusions of hydric soils within the soil mapping unit. The Roanoke and Toisnot hydric soils comprise approximately 89 percent of the site, while Altavista, Augusta and other non-hydric inclusions cover approximately 11 percent of the site. Site hydrology was evaluated during field investigations and by applying a water budget analysis to the site. The hydrologic source for the site is based on high groundwater, overland surface flow, and groundwater seeps and springs; no natural streams are found in the proposed restoration area. An apparent topographic divide near the southern end of the site directs water to the western and northern sides of the site to existing drainage ditches that flow east. Water directed to the other side of the topographic divide flows toward the eastern and northern sides of the site, where there are smaller drainage features (grassed waterways) that direct water downslope to the north and offsite toward constructed ponds to the east. Much of the water on the site is attributed to a relatively high water table and numerous groundwater seeps located in the central and eastern portions of the site. Several seeps or springs are found upslope of the project area, indicating groundwater discharge is prominent in the local vicinity seasonally from November to March. The site groundwater was evaluated by monitoring the water level with eight on- site Solinst Levelogger gages, a barometric control gage, and a Levelogger gage. Both surface water and groundwater are removed from the site via grassed waterways and ditches. A significant portion of the surface water draining to the site is diverted around and away from the site via a ditched channel and a farm drainage ditch, which run parallel to each other along the western edge of the site, and eventually drain to the Tar River north of the site. Additionally, grassed waterways have been constructed to channel water away from groundwater seeps, draining the central and eastern parts of the site. The farm drainage ditch flows north then east into a lateral drainage ditch that bisects the site. The lateral ditch flows from the western site boundary to the eastern boundary, and then continues offsite. Existing site hydrology was modeled by developing an annual water budget that calculates water inputs and outputs, and the change in storage on a monthly time step. The hydrographs for the average, dry, and wet years show a similar pattern of seasonal water table levels. Water table recharge occurs during the late fall and winter months until a rapid water table draw down occurs as PET rates increase in the spring. During the summer, the water budget model shows the existing site is unsaturated within the upper 36 inches of soil. The proposed conditions water budget shows the annual hydrographs for the same three climatic years, reflecting dry, average, and wet conditions. Without the estimated groundwater loss from the ditch/drainage network, the water table recharges earlier in the fall, maintains a shallower soil depth for a greater duration, and remains within 12 inches of the soil surface for a greater proportion of the growing season. The clearing, draining, and conversion of the site to agriculture has altered its natural wetland ecological function and diminished its capacity for natural biological productivity, biogeochemical cycling, nutrient cycling, and water quality enhancement. Under the current conditions, lateral drains, grassed waterways and the ditching have effectively altered the hydrology of the site, decreasing the amount of water available for soil saturation and extended periods of inundation. In its present state, the site is only fulfilling a small proportion of its potential and historical wetland functional role within the landscape. Restoration of the site will focus on the removal of hydrologic alterations and reforestation of the site with species common to Low Elevation Seeps and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forests. The proposed wetland mitigation activities will result in substantial enhancement of the existing water quality and habitat functions onsite. Elimination of channelized flow from agricultural ditches that drain in two different directions to the Tar River will drastically reduce nutrient, pesticide and sediment runoff from the site and improve downstream water quality in the Tar River. The proposed ditch plugging and filling will result in increased short-term surface and subsurface water storage, and a subsequent increase in the duration and elevation of the seasonally high water table. Specific actions proposed to achieve the goals and objectives of the project include: • Filling the primary drainage ditch along the western site boundary • Filling the farm drainage ditch along the western site boundary • Plugging the lateral ditch with a ditch plug • Filling the grassed waterways • Removing ditch spoil from wooded areas to restore natural seepage patterns • Placing water diversion features, where appropriate, to redistribute the surface hydrology • Placing restrictive berms, where appropriate, to reduce runoff and enhance infiltration • Recreating microtopography across the site to enhance surface water retention and storage, and to provide amphibian breeding habitat where possible • Disking the ground surface to reduce compaction from pastured cattle •

section presents background information pertaining to the Daniels Farm Site. Assessments of both historical and existing site conditions were developed from data gathered during field investigations, desktop review of relevant documents, and landowner interviews conducted between November 2002 and February 2003. 1.1 Goals and Objectives The goal of the project is to re-establish a nonriverine wetland that will restore ecosystem processes, structure, and composition to mitigate for wetland functions and values that have been lost as a result of anthropogenic disturbances in this region of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. Functions that will be restored as a result of the restoration include: ¦ Aquatic/Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat ¦ Water Quality ¦ Ground water Recharge ¦ Nutrient Cycling ¦ Low Elevation Seep and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Communities 1.2 Site Description The site is located approximately 1260 feet north of Egypt Church Road (SR 1604) along the western property line of the Clyde Daniels Farm, approximately 3.5 miles south-southeast of Louisburg in Franklin County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The site is located on the Louisburg, North Carolina USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle, near the headwaters of two unnamed first-order tributaries to the Tar River (Figure 2). The ground elevation at the Daniels Farm Site is approximately 185 to 200 feet above mean sea level, as determined from the USGS topographic quadrangle. Topography at the site is generally flat, and slopes gently in a northeasterly direction toward a tributary of the Tar River. The 33.93 acres that comprise the site are situated on portions of Farm Tract T3792, Field 13 (25.4 acres) and Farm Tract T3791, Field 1 (20.6 acres). 1.3 Watershed Characteristics The site is located in USGS Hydrologic Unit 03020101 and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) sub-basin 04-00-70 of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. The site is generally flat and depressional with slopes ranging from 0 to 2%. The watershed is located in the Raleigh Belt of the Piedmont physiographic region. The site is underlain by foliated to massive granite, and is located west of a prominent northeast-southwest trending anticline. Much of the site is located on a historic terrace feature associated with the Tar River, which is located approximately 825 feet north of the northernmost extent of the site. The local watershed drains approximately 101 acres consisting of 56 acres of agriculture, 39 acres of forest and 6 acres of urban land uses (Figure 3). Current land use/land cover is agriculture with mixed deciduous and evergreen forest around the perimeter to the west and east. 1.4 Historical Site Conditions Historical aerial photographs were reviewed in order to help determine the chronology of land use at the site, and to assist in the development of an appropriate restoration strategy. Aerial photographs of the site were obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service District Office in Franklin County for the following years: 1938, 1955, 1973, 1982, and 2000 (Appendix B).

S' USGS Topographic Quadrangle- /,ousilrurg • The 1938 aerial photograph shows the subject property covered with forest. The land to the south of the site is cleared, and presumably in agricultural use. To the east of the site, the land appears to be forested, interspersed with some open areas. While most of the land immediately adjacent to the site was forested in 1938, much of the land in the general vicinity had been cleared at this time, likely for agricultural production. • The subject site remains forested in the 1955 aerial photograph. The section of the field south of the site that had been cleared in the 1938 photograph, appeared to have been reforested by 1955. There were very few other observable changes to the area immediately around the site from the 1938 photograph, though additional land further from the site appeared to have been cleared for agricultural use. • The subject site remains forested in the 1973 aerial photograph. The only observable alteration to the site is a dirt road that runs to the property, which could have been used for logging operations, though no significant land clearing is apparent. Land southeast of the site that had been cleared in 1938 and showed signs of reforestation in the 1955 photograph, appears to have returned to forested cover in the 1973 photograph. Across the landscape, there were isolated areas, primarily along the Tar River, that were cleared for agriculture between 1955 and 1973. • In the 1982 aerial photograph, the subject property had been cleared and appeared to be in agricultural use. To a limited degree, additional land in the general vicinity of the site was cleared and ditched for agriculture between 1973 and 1982. • No apparent changes tool: place to the site between 1982 and 2000. The site remained cleared and open, as visible in the 2000 aerial photograph. Adjacent land to the west and east of the site was cleared between 1982 and 2000, either for agriculture or logging activities. Based on the historical aerial photographs reviewed, it appears that the Daniels Farm Site was forested until 1982, when it was cleared and utilized for agriculture. There is no visible evidence of mass disturbance such as filling or mining on the subject site in any of the reviewed photographs. 1.5 Constraints 1.5.1 Rare, Threatened, and Endangered (RTE) Species Documentation Available records were reviewed at the North Carolina Department of Parks and Recreation, Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) to determine the presence of any rare, threatened, or endangered (RTE) species or critical habitats on or near the site. Additionally, during the field investigation, the existing site conditions were evaluated in order to determine if habitat suitable for supporting Franklin County RTE species existed on the site. No occurrences of RTE species or critical habitats were identified on the mitigation site. However, a pair of Bald Eagles was observed on a nest located 1535 feet northeast of the site. The nest falls outside of the primary zone designated as the critical habitat that encompasses an area extending 750 to 1500 feet outward from the nest tree. The eagles appear to be using an area that has been farmed since before 1938. Additionally, Bald Eagles have been nominated for de-listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 1.5.2 Cultural Resources Inspection of records from the Office of State Archeologists indicated that no archeological sites have been recorded within the project area, or within a one-mile radius of the site. Given the large breadth of the project and its relatively close proximity to the Tar River, a cursory field inspection of the project area for archeological resources was considered to be prudent. Portions of the project area that possessed the highest potential for archeological resources were identified and inspected, either through surface collection or limited shovel testing. In addition to a limited archeological reconnaissance, basic landform chronology and geomorphologic theory pertaining to soil drainage and erosion were applied to interpret the potential for certain landforms within the project area to possess intact archeological resources. The majority of the project area consists of a series of older alluvial features, including terraces, filled-in oxbows, and meander cutoffs. The distant location of these features in relation to the current channel indicates that these landforms probably formed during the Pleistocene. Limited testing verified this probable chronology with the exposure of very dense and old Bt horizons along the elevated alluvial terraces. Based on this basic age assessment of the various alluvial landforms within the project area, archeological material would be isolated to the upper A- horizon stratum, or Ap in the case of the project area. Thus, the only potential for intact resources would be truncated basal portions of features lying along elevated portions of the alluvial floodplain landforms. Field inspection of the current conditions indicated that the great majority of the project area, approximately 85%, is saturated with standing water. Limited shovel testing along the only elevated, and currently dry, portion of the alluvial terraces within the project area revealed redoximorphic depletions. This finding indicates that even the elevated portions of the alluvial landforms are saturated for some portion of the year. This high saturation level of the alluvial landforms in the project would severely limit their utilization for occupation throughout the past. Inspection and limited shovel testing of the upland colluvial deposits, approximately 15% of the project area, indicated that these areas remain well-drained throughout the year. Although dry, and therefore more attractive for permanent occupation throughout the past, the colluvial foot slope of the surrounding uplands has no potential to retain buried archeological components given the fact that it is an erosional surface and receives no accumulation of slope wash. The utilization of these basic geomorphological theories and landform chronology indicates that the project area possess no potential for intact buried archeological resources. Limited archeological reconnaissance produced no intact archeological material, corroborating the basic geomorphologic assessment of the project area. The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) conducted a review of the proposed mitigation project to determine the presence of historic preservation sites on the proposed mitigation site. The review found no known or documented historic sites within a one-mile radius of the site. 1.5.3 Environmental Hazards Deed records, aerial photographs, USGS maps, and county planning maps were reviewed to assess the presence and potential impact of any utilities and easements on wetland restoration. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is located in Appendix C. In summary, through the scope of this investigation, no environmentally hazardous conditions were identified on the Daniels Farm Site. 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 Hydrology/Hydraulics The hydrologic source for the site is based on high groundwater, overland surface flow, and groundwater seeps and springs; no natural streams are found in the proposed restoration area. Figure 4 illustrates the existing surface water flow patterns. Several seeps or springs are found upslope of the project area, indicating groundwater discharge is prominent in the local vicinity seasonally, particularly during the wet period from November to March. This seep/spring area collects water from upgradient areas to the south, and from areas to the west. Water flow from the seep/spring area is then directed toward several manmade drainage features that have been installed to prevent water from reaching the site and to 6 -- .,��., ___.s` Y f �. r' S' '�. efficiently remove water from the site. Two drainage ditches were observed on the site. The ditches run parallel to one another along the field edge of the site's western border. The ditch closest to the field, and the shallower of the two ditches, flows north approximately three-quarters the length of the site, then turns east and flows offsite to a tributary of the Tar River. The deeper ditch flows along the western boundary to the north, until it eventually drains off site and into the Tar River. Three grassed waterways that vary from 1-2 feet deep and 5-25 feet wide traverse the central and eastern parts of the site, removing ground and surface water from the site. 2.1.1 Surface Water The site is located at the toe of a slope, and the topographic layout of the watershed is such that water appears to be directed toward the site from upgradient areas. An apparent topographic divide near the southern end of the site directs water to the western and northern areas and to existing drainage ditches that flow east. Water directed to the other side of the topographic divide flows toward the eastern and northern areas of the site, where a grassed waterway directs water downslope to the north and offsite toward constructed ponds to the east. A significant portion of the surface water draining onto the site is diverted around and away from the site via two drainage ditches, which run north parallel to each other along the western edge of the site. Grassed waterways were also constructed to channel water away from groundwater seeps, draining the central and eastern parts of the site. One of the north flowing ditches along the western edge of the site turns east, bisecting the site, and accepts discharge from a grassed waterway before flowing offsite at the eastern boundary. 2.1.2 Groundwater High ground water has historically been reported for the site and occurs seasonally at or near the surface in the surrounding natural areas. This high water condition is attributed to a relatively high water table and numerous groundwater seeps. The site groundwater is being evaluated by monitoring the water level with eight on-site Solinst Levelogger gages and a barometric control gage. Data will be compared to that received by a Levelogger gage installed at a reference wetland (Figure 5). The Leveloggers were installed across the site on February 5 and 6, 2003 and programmed to measure water levels twice a day, at 12-hour intervals starting on February 6, 2003. The data was downloaded periodically and evaluated to determine the depth and duration of the groundwater levels on the site. Data has been collected and evaluated through February 5, 2003. Data from each monitoring gauge was plotted to determine the hydroperiod (duration of saturation within 12 inches of the ground surface) for the site (Appendix D). Hydrology Monitoring: On February 5, 2003 eight groundwater wells and one rain gauge were installed on the project site to better determine site hydrology. Above average rainfall of 14.41 inches was recorded from February 5 to June 13, 2003, with 10.91 inches of this recorded since the beginning of the growing season on March 20. Well 1 is located north of the proposed restoration boundary near a sharp drop in slope away from the site. This drop appears to help drain the area quickly after rain events, even though well 1 is situated in Wahee soils which are classified as being somewhat poorly drained and slowly permeable. This results in many days of inundation within a foot of the surface, but few for periods of prolonged time (Table 1). Well 2 is located within the site boundary north of the large lateral drainage ditch that flows west to east across the site. The area slopes slightly from north to south, toward the drainage ditch. Well 2 was placed in the Roanoke soil series, which is classified as being poorly drained and slowly permeable or very slowly permeable. Lower landscape elevation contributes to groundwater recharge from surrounding upland areas creating long periods of inundation following precipitation events. Well 3 is just south of the lateral drainage ditch near the seep that creates the western border of the project site. The seep drains the western portion of the project site toward the lateral drainage ditch. Similar to well 2, this point is located at a low elevation within Roanoke soils, and likewise retains water at or near the surface for long periods following precipitation events. Well 4 is located just south of the lateral drainage ditch just east of a south to north grassed waterway/ drainage ditch in the southern portion of the project site. Although positioned at relatively low elevation and within the poorly drained Roanoke soil series, the water table is slightly lower here compared with the other low elevation wells, likely due to the close proximity to the two drainage ditches. Well 5 is located near the eastern border of the project site in an outcropping of the moderately well-drained Altavista soil series. The water table is much lower here than at the other monitoring points, and sharp spikes in water level are followed by quick declines after precipitation events. Well 6 is further south and just upgradient of well 3 near the seep that creates the western border of the project site. Due to high elevation and close proximity to the seep, well 6 exhibits quick drainage compared with monitoring points found within the Roanoke series. Well 7 is located in the south east corner of the project site, just south of well 5. Like wells 2 and 3, well 7 is situated in Roanoke soil series. Like those monitoring points, water is retained after precipitation events, but due to the high elevation and deeper water table, there is less groundwater recharge, resulting in sharp declines in groundwater levels during dry periods. Well 8 is located inside the south east corner of the project site boundary in an area distinguished by a conglomeration of soils found on the project site, including Altavista, Augusta and Toisnot. Toisnot is a poorly drained, slowly permeable soil that causes this area to pond during rain events and keeps groundwater level consistently at or near the surface for extended periods following precipitation events.

Under existing conditions, precipitation (P) is considered to be the only water input to the site. Historic 10 precipitation data from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Summary of the Day Data Set was obtained from Earth Info, Inc. The data was obtained for the City of Louisburg, Franklin County, NC, located approximately 3.5 miles north-northeast of the Daniels Farm site. Total precipitation for the years of the period of record, from 1948-1997, was reviewed. Three years were selected that represent precipitation conditions for an average year (1973), dry year (1963) and wet year (1979). Groundwater input to the site is likely, due to the landscape position of the site and observation of several groundwater seep discharge zones on the site. However, groundwater input was not calculated for the water budget since it is difficult to quantify and its exclusion provides for a conservative estimate of water availability. Water outputs from the site include potential evapotranspiration (PET) and groundwater infiltration. PET was calculated by the Thornthwaite method using mean monthly temperatures determined from 1971-2000 data from Louisburg, NC, and daytime hours. Groundwater infiltration represents groundwater losses from the site due to downward seepage through the soil profile. Soil permeability was assumed to be 2x10-6 ft/nin, which is typical of low permeability soils associated with wetlands. Net water inputs and outputs were calculated in inches, and normalized across the site on a monthly time step. Net water inputs and outputs were then added or subtracted from a running wetland water volume, expressed as a depth in inches, and normalized across the total area of the site. A maximum wetland water volume of 2.52 inches was calculated, based on 36 inches of soil with a specific yield of 0.12. All of the calculated water volume carne from water in the soil, there was no surface water storage factored into the calculation. The hydrographs for the average, dry, and wet years show a similar pattern of seasonal water table levels. Water table recharge occurs during the late fall and winter months, until a rapid water table drawdown occurs as PET rates increase in the summer. During the summer, the water budget model shows the existing site is unsaturated within the upper 36 inches of soil. 2.2 Soils A detailed soils investigation was conducted to determine the extent and distribution of the hydric soils on the site and to classify the predominate soils identified to the soil series level (Figure 6, Appendix E). The investigation consisted of delineating the hydric soil boundaries with pink flagging in accordance with the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Wetland Delineation Manual, NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States and Soil Taxonomic Practices. Areas that have been identified as possible hydric soil mapping units were surveyed at a higher intensity until the edge of the mapping unit was identified. The boundary of the hydric and non-hydric soil mapping units were then followed by continual sampling and observations as the boundary line was identified and delineated. In those areas where the boundary was found to be a broad band gradient rather than a distinct break, microtopography, landscape position, soil textural changes, redoximorphic features, depleted matrix, etc. were additionally considered to identify the extent of the hydric soils. To develop a detailed soils map, several soil borings were advanced on the site in the general hydric soil areas identified by landscape position, vegetation and slope. Once the hydric soil borings were identified, the soil scientist marked the point and established a visual line to the next auger boring where again hydric soil conditions were predicted then confirmed by additional borings. The soil scientist moved along the edges of the mapping unit and marked each point along the line. To confirm the hydric soil mapping unit, nine soil borings were advanced to a depth of 50 inches.

Eight of the soil descriptions were located at each of the eight monitoring well locations. The ninth soil description was located about 30 feet west of monitoring well #6. Soils mapped on the property were found to be typical of low Piedmont, Coastal Plain uplands and terraces that have formed in loamy and clayey marine and fluvial sediments. Specific soil series identified on the property include: Altavista (Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aquic Hapludults), Augusta (Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aeric Endoaquults), Roanoke (Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Endoaquults), and Toisnot (Coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Typic Fragiaquults). Additionally, State (Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Hapludults) and Wahee (Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aeric Endoaquults) were identified in the transitional areas between the poorly drained Roanoke and Toisnot soils and the somewhat poorly drained Augusta and moderately well drained Altavista soils. The Roanoke and Toisnot soil series are listed as hydric soils in Franklin County because of saturation for a significant period during the growing season. Altavista and the Augusta soils are not considered hydric but have inclusions of hydric soils within the soil mapping unit. Per the Franklin County Hydric Soils List, important notes state that hydric soils in this county cannot be farmed under natural conditions without removing woody vegetation or hydrology manipulation. Some map units and included soils listed, as hydric soils in this county may not meet the definition of hydric soils and wetlands because the hydrology has been altered through drainage or other manipulation. The Franklin County Soil Survey has classified the soils underlying the site as Altavista sandy loam, (59A). However, our findings (Appendix E) indicate that the Roanoke and Toisnot hydric soils comprise approximately 89 percent of the site, while Altavista, Augusta and other non-hydric inclusions cover approximately 11 percent of the site (Figure 7). All of these soil series are formed in alluvial sediments and are commonly found on terraces adjacent to better-drained soils. The following sections describe each soil series, in detail. The basic soil properties of each series are summarized in Table 2. Altavista sandy loam (AaA, 59A, 544A) comprises the dominant non-hydric upland soil on the site. The Altavista series consists of moderately well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in fluvial material on stream terraces. The soils have a low shrink-swell potential. The seasonally high water table is at a depth of 1.5 to 2.5 feet during wet periods. This soil is mapped as rarely flooded by NRCS in Franklin County. Slopes are 0 to 3 percent. Individual areas commonly are long and narrow and generally range from 5 to 50 acres in size. Typically, the surface layer is dark brown fine sandy loam eight inches thick. The subsoil extends to a depth of 33 inches. The upper part is yellowish brown sandy clay loam with strong brown and very pale brown mottles. The next part is yellowish brown sandy clay loam with light gray mottles. The lower part is yellowish brown sandy loam with gray mottles. Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas of well-drained State soils in slightly higher landscape positions, and the slightly wetter somewhat poorly drained Wahee soils. Augusta (AuA) is a minor soil component of the site. It is formed in loamy alluvial sediments of the Piedmont and upper Coastal Plain stream terraces. The Augusta series consist of very deep, somewhat poorly drained, moderately permeable soils with slow runoff and have a low shrink-swell potential. The seasonally high water table is at a depth of 1.0 to 2.0 feet during wet periods. The soil appears to be rarely flooded in Franklin County. Slopes are from 0 to 2 percent. Individual units occur as transitional areas adjacent to the Altavista and Roanoke soils. Typically the surface layer is pale brown loam 0 to 9 inches thick. The solum extends to a depth of 40 to 80 inches. The subsoil ranges from pale brown to light brownish gray and gray with a texture of clay loam, sandy clay loam or loam. Included with this soil in mapping are areas of poorly drained Toisnot soils. 13 Mr-A Y a a , r -- .e:° r.I :r ! te--• -? - -'_-`_ T. - - -- - I{ ke .. ? t? ? `? f - - 'r io.ear°.?.,. ur.. ?s+•a _ ? ?-'-? ,un.,.e?:,cr.?o.ssam =.?±'.w? r< ,. ?? ?'t ?'

Limits of H dric Soils Depleted Soils N Site Boundary A KCI 200 0 200 Feet ASSOCIATES OF NOM C-MUNA; 6 Source: March 2000 Aerial Photographs, Franklin County G/S Roanoke (RoA, 80, 80A, 88, and 88A) is the dominant soil on the site. It is formed in clayey alluvial sediments on low Piedmont and coastal plain floodplains and terraces, and in clayey marine and alluvial sediments on broad flats in the Coastal Plain. The Roanoke series consist of very deep, poorly drained, slowly permeable or very slowly permeable soils that have a moderate shrink-swell potential. The seasonally high water table is at a depth of one foot during wet periods. The soil is occasionally flooded in low areas for brief periods. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. Individual areas are irregular in shape and generally range from 10 to 50 acres in size. Typically, the surface layer is five inches thick with a Munsell color of light brownish gray, and ranges from fine sandy loam and loam to silt loam. The subsoil is usually 48 inches thick. The upper part of the subsoil is light gray sandy clay loam that has brownish yellow mottles. The lower part is gray silty clay or clay that has yellowish brown or brownish yellow mottles. The Toisnot Series (RaA, 827, 827A, 830, 830A, 837 and 847, and 847A) is mapped in a complex with the Rains soil series in Franklin County; however, during the investigation, the Rains soils were not identified on site. The Toisnot soils occur in shallow depressions, around the heads of drainageways, and on the outer fringe of stream terraces next to the better-drained uplands in the upper Coastal Plain. The soil formed in moderately coarse textured fluvial or marine sediments. The Toisnot soils consist of poorly drained, slowly permeable soils that have a low shrink-swell potential. The seasonally high water table is at a depth of one foot during wet periods. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. Typically, the surface layer is six inches thick with a Munsell color of very dark gray and ranges from loam, sandy loam to silt loam. The subsoil is usually 45 to 61 inches thick. A fragipan commonly occurs in the upper boundary of the subsoil and commonly ranges from 20 to 40 inches but may range from 10 to 45 inches. The upper part of the subsoil is light gray or dark gray sandy clay loam that has grayish brown and light gray mottles. The lower part is gray and the texture is commonly sandy clay loam, but it may range to fine sandy loam, sandy loam or sandy clay.

This determination was complicated because the upper 6 to 12 inches of the site have been severely altered from prior land use including: agricultural practices, cattle traffic, ditching and drainage of the primary water source, and reshaping the land surface to promote 15 drainage offsite. The cumulative impact of these land uses has significantly affected the hydrology of the site. Resolution of these issues was achieved through conducting detailed field evaluations. General guidance is provided by the ACOE for establishing the hydric status of the soils mapped for a site. The guidance specifies that "depleted (reduced) soils must occur in the upper 12 inches" of the soil profile to be considered hydric for the purposes of determining wetland restoration areas. The depleted soils criteria were mapped in conjunction with the detailed hydric soil delineation. The soils exhibiting a depleted matrix include the Roanoke and Toisnot series as well as the wetter inclusions in the somewhat poorly drained Augusta and Wahee soils. Detailed field investigations were also conducted with the detailed soil mapping of the site to identify redoximorphic features in the upper 12 inches of the soil. Nine soil borings were described to a depth of 60 inches. The soil description process was complicated due to the disturbed nature of the agricultural fields, where plowing has homogenized the horizons in the upper 6 to 12 inches of the soil. Repetitive plowing and mixing of crop residues into the soil, along with the artificial drainage, has affected and altered the hydric features (soil color and mottling) normally found in the upper soil horizons in an undisturbed, natural site. Of the seven detailed soil descriptions within the hydric soil areas each contained redoximorphic features in the upper 12 inches (Appendix E/ Figure 6). 2.3 Ecological Communities A field survey was conducted in the fall/winter of 2002 to identify the dominant vegetative communities on the site. This review documented that, though Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest historically dominated the site, agricultural fields, planted in silage consisting of Brown Top Millet and Sudan grass, are now the predominate cover. The site has also been used to graze cattle. Only small remnants of the Low Elevation Seep community still remain within the area of proposed restoration. This community currently occupies a thin strip adjacent to the western site boundary. A schematic of the existing vegetative communities at the time of the investigation is included (Figure 8). Low Elevation Seep Low Elevation Seep communities are found at seepages and springs along bases of slopes or edges of floodplains. These areas are generally saturated, even if no standing water is present. The canopy includes Acer rubrum, Quercus phellos, and possibly other wetland trees. Herbs found in this association include Saururus cernuus, Impatiens capensis, Osmunda cinnamomea, Osmunda regalis var. spectabilis, Boehmeria cylindrica, Chelone glabra, Rudbeckia laciniata, Ranunculus recurvatus, Juncus spp., and Saxiaga micranthidifolia. These communities can serve as important breeding and foraging areas for amphibians. Low Elevation Seep communities are relatively common in the Piedmont, lower Mountains, and upper Coastal Plain. These communities tend to be small, and are often shaded by the canopy of the adjacent communities. The vegetation and soils associated with well-developed Low Elevation Seeps varies from the vegetation and soils found in the adjacent floodplain or upland communities. Agriculture occupies the majority of the site, with pasture being the primary land use. Ditches are found around the perimeter of the agricultural fields to enhance drainage of water from the site and snake the land more suitable for fanning. Utilization of the site for agriculture has had significant impacts on the site. Ditches and grassed waterways have been created or enhanced to promote drainage through, around and off of the site to allow crop production on prior converted wetland areas. Clearing of the site has removed virtually all of the natural vegetative communities. All existing agricultural land, or 89% of the site, has been classified as prior converted wetland. The remaining 11% of the land should also qualify for restoration due to drainage and filling activities. 16 'f `F ?,??,: - ,.. ,.:fie ;; -,?• * ? r Y r'„ f `?1A9 7 ? 7 5 . i n Figure 8.

I• i / : • off` m / t ` upland : / 2.4 Assessment of Site Conditions The Daniels Wetland mitigation site has an extensive history of disturbance, undergoing dramatic land cover alterations in 1982 for the purposes of agricultural production. The site consisted of Low Elevation Seeps and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest communities before these modifications. One small remnant of a Low Elevation Seeps natural community remains; however, the understory vegetation has been removed, and the hydrology and the landscape has been modified by subsequent ditching and drainage efforts. The Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest communities historically dominate the lower elevations of the site. These communities are found on poorly drained interstream flats with fine textured mineral soils, not associated with rivers. These areas are seasonally saturated or flooded water tables, poor drainage and perhaps by sheet flow from adjacent landscapes and pocosins. The soils are poorly drained loamy or clayey mineral soils. The series in the Franklin County area consists of the Roanoke (Typic Endoaquults) soils. The canopy is dominated by various hardwood trees typical of bottomlands and includes Quercus michauxii, Quercus laurifolia, Quercus pagoda, Liriodendron tulipifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ulmus Americana, Acer rubrum, and Nyssa biflora. The understory includes species such as Carpinus caroliniana, Acer rubrum, flex opaca, and Asimina triloba. The shrub layer includes Lindera benzoin, Persea palustris, Leucothoe axillaries, Clethra alnifolia, Vaccinium corymbosum, Myrica cerifera, and Arundinaria gigantean. The herb layer may include Carex spp., Saururus cernus, Boehmeria cylindrica, and Woodwardia areolata. Nonriverine Wet Forest Hardwood communities are among the most threatened of North Carolina's natural communities, and in some ways are the least known. Also called oak flats, they were once widespread in the outer Coastal Plain of northeastern North Carolina, but were long ago reduced to a small fraction of their pre-settlement abundance. This community appears to exist on the extreme western edge of its range. Although this unit does not exist along the margins of peatlands, it does meet several wetland criteria, including landscape position, Roanoke soils, and some of the typical vegetation communities. The 33.93 acres that comprise the site are situated on portions of Farm Tract T3792, Field 13 (25.4 acres) and Farm Tract T3791, Field 1 (20.6 acres). Field 13 holds Prior Converted status with NRCS. Field 1 has not been evaluated for Prior Converted Status but meets hydric soil criteria and shares the same hydrologic drains as Field 13 (See NRCS letter - Appendix A). Agricultural farm fields are adjacent to the site to the north and south. The soils on the site have been disturbed, manipulated and ditched to promote drainage. The horizons in the upper 6 to 12 inches of soil have been homogenized and mixed from plowing and grading activities on the land. A network of ditches has effectively drained the site for agricultural use. Repetitive plowing and mixing of crop residues into the soil, along with artificial drainage, has affected and altered the hydric features (soil color and mottling) normally found in the upper soil horizons of an undisturbed site. The extensive land alterations described have complicated the identification and determination of historic hydric soil conditions. Despite drainage and regular plowing, field investigations indicate that much of the relict hydric features of the soils on the site, i.e. redoximorphic features such as mottling, manganese masses, and oxidized root channels within 6 to 12 inches of the surface, have been significantly reduced. The site hydrology and hydraulics reflect those characteristically found in the lower Piedmont seeps and nonriverine interstream flats in the upper Coastal Plain areas. The primary surface water input is from seeps or springs that capture drainage from approximately 100 acres south and upgradient of the site. It is believed that originally, discharge from the spring flowed by sheet flow (then perhaps a shallow channel) from its source onto the southeastern corner of the site. The flow then likely continued northeast and collected in a depressional area before flowing east off the site. After clearing the property, the landowner realized that he needed to remove the surface water and groundwater from the site for crop production or pasture. The shallow erosional drainageway that had formed along the western side of the 18 site was converted into a drainage ditch that extended from Egypt Church Road north along the site to a depressional area where the ditch turned east and continued offsite to the Tar River. Later, since the water was not being effectively drained offsite due to the amount of surface and groundwater input from the west, the landowner dug another ditch along the western property line from Egypt Church Road extending to the north end of the site. The ditch was cut through high ground to a stream that flowed into the Tar River. These ditches along the eastern and western sides of the site are thought to have effectively drained the majority of the site. The secondary source of hydrology is from seeps along the southern end of the property and from high ground water along the northern end of the property. Several grassed waterways were cut to intercept seepage from the toeslopes along the southern boundary and direct the water eastward to the ditch dug through the depressional collection area before flowing east and offsite. Additionally, in the field to the north, shallow ditches were cut to allow gravity flow to the ditch flowing east through the depressional area and offsite. Under the current conditions, the ditches and grassed waterways have effectively altered the hydrology of the site, decreasing the amount of water available for soil saturation and extended periods of flooding. A water budget was developed for existing conditions, in order to calculate water inputs and outputs, and the change in storage on a monthly time step. Under existing conditions, water input to the site comes from precipitation, seasonally wet seepage zones, and surface runoff. Water outputs from the site include potential evapotranspiration, surface water output, groundwater flow via the ditch network, and groundwater infiltration. All of the calculated water volume for the site came from water in the soil; there was no surface water storage factored into the calculation. The results of the existing water budget show the expected pattern of rapidly declining water table levels in the spring and water table recharge during the fall and winter. The model indicates that the upper 36 inches of soil will remain dry through the summer and early fall. In summary, the clearing, draining, and conversion of the site to agriculture has altered its natural wetland ecological function and diminished its capacity for natural biological productivity, biogeochemical cycling, nutrient cycling, and water quality enhancement. In its present state, the site is only fulfilling a small proportion of its potential and historical wetland functional role within the landscape. 3.0 WETLAND RESTORATION ACTIVITIES Restoration of the site will focus on the removal of hydrologic alterations and reforestation of the site with species common to Low Elevation Seeps and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forests (Figure 9). This effort will be initiated by removal of the perimeter ditches and grassed waterways. Hydrologic reconnection will be made to allow water currently bypassing the site to the west to enter the site. Reforestation of the site with Low Elevation Seep and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest species consistent with the surrounding natural wetlands will be initiated with 436 stems per acre, with a target density of 320 steins per acre after five years. The proposed restoration types and extents are presented in Table 3 and Figure 9. Table 3: Restoration Tvne and Extent Restoration Enhancement Creation Community Type Low Elevation Seep 8.62 acres 0 acres 0 acres Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest 21.43 acres 0 acres 0 acres Upland 0 acres 3.88 acres 0 acres 19 3.1 Wetland Restoration The proposed wetland restoration area within the site currently consists of 21.43 acres of agricultural fields and 8.62 acres of Low Elevation Seep forested land, which does not currently qualify as wetland due to artificial drainage on the site. Based on existing relict hydric soils and forested vegetation on the site, it is presumed that 30.05 acres were jurisdictional wetlands prior to conversion for agriculture. The proposed restoration actions will be directed at restoring the character and function of the Low Elevation Seep and the Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest wetland types that historically occupied these fields and woodlands. It is anticipated that the proposed restoration actions will result in 30 acres of restored and created wetland area on the site. The proposed wetland mitigation activities will result in substantial enhancement of the existing water quality and habitat functions onsite. Elimination of channelized flow from agricultural ditches that drain in two different directions to the Tar River will drastically reduce nutrient, pesticide and sediment runoff from the site and improve water quality downstream. The proposed ditch plugging and filling will result in increased short-term surface and subsurface water storage, and a subsequent increase in the duration and elevation of the seasonally high water table. The increased retention time of surface and subsurface water will result in reduced peak flows to drainages that feed into the Tar River. Increased retention time will also facilitate a variety of biogeochemical transformations such as denitrification and dissolved organic carbon export. Reduced nitrogen export and increased carbon export will benefit downstream aquatic habitat areas in the Tar River. Converting the agricultural fields back to a natural vegetative species composition will improve the feeding, shelter and breeding habitat for many indigenous and migrant faunal species. The seepage and nonriverine nature of the restored wetlands will also augment wildlife corridors between existing habitats. Specific actions proposed to achieve the goals and objectives of the project include: • Filling the primary drainage ditch along the western site boundary • Filling the farm drainage ditch along the western site boundary • Plugging the lateral ditch with a ditch plug • Filling the grassed waterways • Removing ditch spoil from wooded areas to restore natural seepage patterns • Placing water diversion features, where appropriate, to redistribute the surface hydrology • Placing restrictive berms, where appropriate, to reduce runoff and enhance infiltration • Recreating microtopography across the site to enhance surface water retention and storage, and to provide amphibian breeding habitat where possible • Disking the ground surface to reduce compaction from pastured cattle • Re-vegetating the site with Low Elevation Seep and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest species 3.1.1 Hydrologic Alterations In order to enhance the site functionality and increase habitat diversity, modifications that will influence the hydroperiod of the site are being proposed. These actions are described in more detail below: Ditch Removal: Approximately two drainage ditches and three grassed waterways found on the site currently enhance the removal of seepage waters and precipitation. This drainage network will be filled or plugged as appropriate as part of restoration activities. 21 Fill Removal and Micro-topography Enhancement: Dredge spoils from ditching will be removed and replaced on the site to expose buried hydric soils and establish micro- topographic variations to enhance the retention of water from seepage and precipitation. Redistribution of Surface Water: Water Diversion Features will be placed at planned contour intervals to enhance the retention of water from seepage and precipitation and to counteract the damage due to farm practices that promote soil disturbance, manipulation and ditching. The water diversion features will simulate a mature forest condition by diffusing surface water rather than concentrating sheet flow into erosive channels. 3.1.2 Vegetative Community Establishment Vegetation on the site will be restored in order to be consistent with Low Elevation Seeps and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest communities (Figure 9). The following actions will be taken to re-vegetate the site: Site Preparation: The soils on the site have undergone significant disturbance for at least 21 years. Agricultural operations have compacted the soil, thus decreasing infiltration. Upon the completion of the earth-moving activities, the site will be ripped as necessary to create conditions conducive for the re-establishment of Low Elevation Seep and Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest communities on the site. Planting: The community-planting plan described below provides a guide for the vegetative re-establishment of the targeted communities. If available, the following species will be planted: Low Elevation Seeps Species: Scientific Name Common Name Quercus phellos willow oak Quercus michauxxii swamp chest nut oak Quercus falcate var. pagodaefolia cherry bark oak Quercus laurifolia laurel oak Ulmus Americana american elm Liriodendron tulipifera yellow poplar Planting Density: 436 Stems per acre Comments: All trees will be 12"-18" bare root material. Nonriverine Wet Hardwood Forest Species: Scientific Name Common Name Liriodendron tulipifera yellow poplar Quercus falcata var. pagodaefolia cherry bark oak Ulmus americana American elm Quercus laurifolia laurel oak Quercus michauxii swamp chestnut oak Nyssa sylvatica var. b flora swamp blackgum Nyssa Mora water tupelo Taxodium distichum bald cypress Planting Density: 436 Stems per acre Comments: All trees will be 12"-18" bare root material. 22 4.0 WETLAND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES 4.1 Post Implementation Documentation An "as built" report will be submitted to the WRP within 90 days of the completion of planting and gauge installation and will include: elevations, photographs, gauge locations, and a description of initial species composition by community and sampling plot locations. Included within the report will be a list of species planted, planting densities, and a total number of stems in the mitigation area. This information will form the base for further monitoring and evaluation. 4.2 Monitoring and Success Criteria The monitoring program will be implemented to document system development and progress towards achieving mitigation goals and objectives. The site will be determined to be successful once wetland hydrology is established and vegetation success criteria are met. Monitoring data will be collected yearly for a period of five years or until success criteria are achieved. Annual reports will be submitted to the WRP, documenting the monitored components of the restoration plan i.e. hydrology and vegetation, and will include all collected data, analysis and photographs. 4.2.1 Hydrology Groundwater elevations will be monitored to demonstrate the attainment of jurisdictional hydrology. The reference wetland monitored during the design phase will also be monitored with the same procedures for comparative analysis. Monitoring Procedure: Verification of wetland hydrology will be determined by automatic recording well data, collected within the project area and approved reference wetland. Automatic recording wells will be established within restoration areas at a density of one automatic well per four acres (8 wells total). Daily data will be collected from automatic wells over the 5-year monitoring period following implementation. This data will be utilized to aid in determination of the local growing season based on soil temperature and NRCS data. Success Criteria: Wetland hydrology will be considered established if well data from the site indicates that the water table is within 12 inches of the soil surface for 5% of the growing season (MRCS published or locally calculated) during normal weather conditions. A "normal" year was based on NRCS climatological data for Franklin County, and using the 30th to 70"' percentile thresholds as the range of normal, as documented in the USACOE Technical Report "Accessing and Using Meterological Data to Evaluate Wetland Hydrology, April 2000." According to the USDA, NRCS Franklin County Soil Survey, the growing season is considered to be the period with a 50% probability that the daily minimum temperature is higher than 28°F. Using this criterion and data from the adjacent counties of Nash and Granville, the growing season in Franklin County is considered to extend from March 20 to November 11, yielding 235 days. Therefore, success will be achieved if the water table is within 12 inches of the soil surface for 12 days during the growing season. 4.2.2 Vegetation The success criteria for the planted species in the restoration areas will be based on survival and growth. Beginning at the end of the first growing season, the project team will monitor site vegetation for five years following the planting. 23 Monitoring Procedure: Permanent monitoring plots will be established in wetland restoration areas at a density of one plot per four acres (eight plots total) and systematically located to ensure even coverage. Data will be collected at each plot for: total number of stems, species, percent survival, height, estimated percent cover of all species, and evidence of insects, disease and browsing. Success Criteria: Survival of planted species must be 260 stems/acre at the end of five years of monitoring. Non-target species must not constitute more than 20 percent of the woody vegetation based on permanent monitoring plots. 4.3 Management Plan/Remedial Activities Restoration of wetlands involves interpretation of collected information to devise a strategy that will ultimately lead to a functional ecosystem. In such, minor variations in expected responses can be anticipated due to unknown site conditions, inputs from outside the restoration site, regional climatic variations, acts of God, etc. Correspondingly, nurturing of the site through regular management activities is considered necessary to assure that the goals and objectives of the project are met. These activities will be conducted throughout the year and may include: invasive control, debris or trash removal, etc. If the monitoring of the site thereafter identifies a failure to attain specific success criteria, a remedial action plan will be developed which investigates the cause of the failure and proposes actions to rectify the problem. 24 *41 b z d APPENDIX A NRCS Letter Regarding Prior Converted Status United States Department of Agriculture o N RCS Natural Resourcii daftsNA06h Service 101-B S.

(KCI) has completed the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on the Daniels Farm Site and is pleased to submit this summary of the findings. The site is located north of Egypt Church Road in Franklin County, North Carolina. The site was inspected by KCI on January 21, 2002. The site is situated on land that gently slopes to the southwest toward a small tributary of Wolfpen Branch. It is currently undeveloped land in agricultural use. Based on the historical aerial photographs reviewed, it appears that the Daniels Farm Site was forested from 1938 to 1982. In 1982, the site was cleared for agriculture. There is no visible evidence of mass disturbance such as filling or mining on the subject site in any of the reviewed photographs. The soil survey of Franklin County, North Carolina classified the soils on the subject property as Altavista sandy loam (AaA). Altavista is classified as having a 0 to 3 percent slope and is moderately well drained. The environmental database review did not identify the subject property or any surrounding sites within a one-mile radius of the subject property within the designated ASTM search radii. In summary, through the scope of this investigation, no environmentally hazardous conditions were identified on the Daniels Farm Site. KCI findings indicate that areas of potential environmental concern were not identified on the Daniels Site. 1.0 Objectives KCI Associates of North Carolina, P.A. (KCI) conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) on the Daniels property, located north of Egypt Church Road in Franklin County, North Carolina (Figure 1. Site Vicinity Map.) KCI Associates of North Carolina, P.A. (KCI) has completed the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the Daniels Farm Site. By ASTM standards, the purpose of conducting an environmental site assessment on a property is to identify recognized environmental conditions. The term recognized environmental conditions means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum product on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products onto structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater or surface water of the property. This ESA consists of. 1) a review of available historical aerial photographs and property tax/deed information; 2) a site inspection; and 3) a review of State and Federal environmental database records. f/ ���Mt.�:i� •s /iGo�h/,'��i, + \ �/1 /�. 1 1`�_�;�`-, r a ' ��;�� ' 'YY�' ,,-.--: _ r r `� JJ''• ,`• -�\fit ' l� .� y`::• '-'..i'• '' '•r•ri' I/ri •� _16 t ..l f. ii!f`.r'�/� p f •�•. ` .

The site is currently in agricultural use, except for the approximately seven wooded acres along the western edge of the property. KCI proposes to remove any hydraulic alterations and reforest the site to restore wetland condition. Figure 2 provides an aerial photograph taken in March of 2000 of the Daniels Farm Site. 3.0 Site Background/Operating History To assess the historical use of the site, KCI reviewed available historical aerial photographs and property tax records and deed information. Historical aerial photographs were examined to ascertain changes in site features and land use. Appendix A provides copies of the historical aerial photographs. KCI obtained historical aerial photographs from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, NRCS District Office in Wake County for the following years: 1938, 1955, 1973, 1982, and 2000. • The 1938 aerial photograph shows the subject property covered with forest. The field to the south is cleared and in agricultural use and the surrounding areas are forested. The subject property does not change until 1973. • The subject site remains forested in the 1973 aerial photograph. The only observable alteration to the site is a dirt road that runs to the property, which could have been used for logging operations, though no significant land clearing is apparent. • The 1982 aerial photograph depicts the subject property as being cleared and in agricultural use. There are no visible changes noted on the subject property between the 1982 and the 2000 aerial photographs. Based on the historical aerial photographs reviewed, it appears that the Daniels Farm Site was forested until 1982, when it was cleared and utilized for agriculture. There is no visible evidence of mass disturbance such as filling or mining on the subject site in any of the reviewed photographs. KCI personnel have not prepared nor reviewed the Property Tax and Deed information for the subject property in order to further assess past land use. KCI attorneys will provide this information prior to when WRP closes on the property. 3 ____EgYPt Church Road ! .r i Phase I ESA Daniels Farm Site Franklin County, North Carolina 4.0 Environmental Setting The ground elevation at the Daniels Farm Site is approximately 185 - 200 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), as determined from the USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Quadrangle for Louisburg, North Carolina. Topography on the site is nearly level to gently sloping, primarily in a northerly direction. Due to the topography, surface water flows by sheet flow toward the center of the site, and then flows east offsite. A ditch along the western property line captures all the surface and subsurface flow from the adjacent property to the west and south and directs it to a tributary of Wolfpen Branch to the northwest. According to the Soil Survey of Franklin County, North Carolina, published by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service (USDA SCS), the soils on the subject property are classified as Altavista sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slope on low stream terraces. This moderately well drained soil is long and narrow with planar to slightly concave slopes. The surface layer consists of dark grayish brown sandy loam from 0 to 9 inches and the upper subsurface layer is light yellowish brown sandy loam from 9 to 19 inches. Permeability and water capacity is moderate. Agricultural development is most suited for the Daniels Farm Site while urban development is poorly suited due to the management concerns of flooding, wetness, and soil fertility. KCI reviewed the USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Quadrangles for Louisburg, North Carolina, as well as available area groundwater well data in an attempt to determine groundwater conditions beneath the subject property. A definitive assessment of subsurface conditions beneath the subject property is not feasible without conducting additional field investigations, including groundwater borings, not covered by this scope of work. 5.0 Site Inspection A site reconnaissance of the Daniels Farm Site was performed on January 21, 2002 by KCI staff to assess the presence of visible evidence of hazardous or other environmentally sensitive conditions. The site assessment involved the visual observation and physical inspection of the specific project site and, when feasible, the surrounding areas. Photographs were taken during the inspection to record key points. Appendix B contains site photographs. The Daniels Farm Site is located north of Egypt Church Road. The adjacent land use to the north and south is agriculture. The areas to the east and west are forested. A manmade ditch follows the western border of the site boundary in a northeast direction from Egypt Church Road. There also is a small ditch that follows the agricultural field on the west to a low point where the ditch turns east across the site then off the subject property. No environmental sensitive conditions or areas of potential environmental concern were identified on the subject site at the time of the site inspection. 5 Phase I ESA Daniels Farm Site Franklin County, North Carolina 6.0 Environmental Records/Database Review KCI reviewed available State and Federal Government environmental database records for the purposes of further identifying recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property and surrounding area. The specific databases and associated ASTM search radii investigated are detailed in Table 1. I`ABI,1 I.

The proposed access road will begin off Egypt Church Road and run north along the fenced eastern edge of an agricultural field. The site is currently in agriculture. The environmental database review did not identify the subject property or any surrounding sites within a one-mile radius of the subject property with the designated ASTM search radii. Phase I ESA Daniels Farm Site Franklin Countv. North Carolina Through the scope of this investigation, KCI's findings indicate that areas of potential environmental concern were not identified on the Daniels Farm site. KCI believes that no further work is needed for the site. 8.0 Persons Performing the Phase I Environmental Assessment Ms. Kimberly A.

NFRAP sites may be sites where, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found, contamination was removed quickly without the need for the site to be placed on the NPL, or the contamination was not serious enough to require Federal Superfund action or NPL consideration. EPA has removed approximately 25,000 NFRAP sites to lift the unintended barriers to the redevelopment of these properties and has archived them as historical records so EPA does not needlessly repeat the investigations in the future. This policy change is part of the EPA's Brownfields Redevelopment Program to help cities, states, private investors and affected citizens to promote economic redevelopment of unproductive urban sites.

Section 7.2.3 requires that a current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent, such as the USGS Digital Elevation Model) be reviewed. It also requires that one or more additional physical setting sources be sought when (1) conditions have been identified in which hazardous substances or petroleum products are likely to migrate to or from the property, and (2) more information than is provided in the current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent) is generally obtained, pursuant to local good commercial or customary practice, to assess the impact of migration of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. Such additional physical setting sources generally include information about the topographic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and geologic characteristics of a site, and wells in the area. Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components: 1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity. Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata. EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration. TC912282.2s Page A-1 GEOCHECW - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site-specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers). TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

EDR has developed the AQUIFLOW Information System to provide data on the general direction of groundwater flow at specific points. EDR has reviewed reports submitted by environmental professionals to regulatory authorities at select sites and has extracted the date of the report, groundwater flow direction as determined hydrogeologically, and the depth to water table. LOCATION GENERAL DIRECTION MAP ID FROM TP GROUNDWATER FLOW Not Reported GROUNDWATER FLOW VELOCITY INFORMATION Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes move more quickly through sandy-gravelly types of soils than silty-clayey types of soils. GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed at which contaminant migration may be occurring.

STATSGO: State Soil Geographic Database The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Soil Conservation Service (SCS) leads the national Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS) and is responsible for collecting, storing, maintaining and distributing soil survey information for privately owned lands in the United States. A soil map in a soil survey is a representation of soil patterns in a landscape. Soil maps for STATSGO are compiled by generalizing more detailed (SSURGO) soil survey maps. ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES FEDERAL WATER WELLS PWS: Public Water Systems Source: EPA/Office of Drinking Water Telephone: 202-564-4099 Public Water System data from the Federal Reporting Data System. A PWS is any water system which provides water to at least 25 people for at least 60 days annually. PWSs provide water from wells, rivers and other sources. PWS ENF: Public Water Systems Violation and Enforcement Data Source: EPA/Office of Drinking Water Telephone: 202-564-4099 Violation and Enforcement data for Public Water Systems from the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) after August 1995. Prior to August 1995, the data came from the Federal Reporting Data System (FRDS). USGS Water Wells: In November 1971 the United States Geological Survey (USGS) implemented a national water resource information tracking system. This database contains descriptive information on sites where the USGS collects or has collected data on surface water and/or groundwater. The groundwater data includes information on more than 900,000 wells, springs, and other sources of groundwater.

APPENDIX E Hydric Soil Certification Letter Soil Boring Descriptions KCI ENGINEERS ? SURVEYORS ? SCIENTISTS ? CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS LANDMARK CENTER I, SUITE 200 ? 4601 Six FORKS ROAD ? RALEIGH, NC 27609 ? 919-783-9214 ? (FAx) 919-783-9266 Hydric Soils Certification Letter The Franklin County Soil Survey has classified the soils underlying the site as Altavista sandy loam. KCI Associates of North Carolina, P.A. (KCI) has remapped and reclassified the soils as primarily Roanoke (Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Endoaquults) and Toisnot (Coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Typic Fragiaquults) with inclusions of the better drained Altavista (Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aquic Hapludults) and Augusta (Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aeric Endoaquults) (Figure 6. Soil Map). The percent composition of each soil is listed as 70%, 19%, 8% and 3% respectively. The Roanoke and Toisnot soils are listed as hydric soils due to saturation for a significant period during the growing season and they are in accordance with the federal, state and county hydric soils list. The reclassification is based on our findings obtained from a detailed soils investigation. This detailed soils investigation was conducted by augering numerous soil borings across the site in areas identified by landscape position, vegetation and slope followed by the preparation of a soil map that identifies each soil mapping unit to the series level. To verify each the soil mapping units five additional soil borings were advanced on site and detailed soil descriptions were prepared of the vertical soil profile (Appendix E). These borings correspond to Monitoring Well locations 2, 3, 4, 6, & 7 (Figure 5. GW Monitoring Gauges). The Roanoke soils that were identified on the site are typical of the Roanoke soils throughout the county. They are formed in clayey alluvial sediments on low Piedmont and Coastal Plain terraces and on planar to slightly concave depressions on slopes adjacent to streams and rivers. The shape of these soil units is typically long and narrow due to their landform position. The areas east of the site were mapped as Roanoke soils by NRCS. These offsite Roanoke soil areas were mapped on correspondingly similar elevations to the site that was mapped by KCI. The Roanoke soils consist of very deep, poorly drained, slowly permeable or very slowly permeable soils that have a moderate shrink-swell potential. The seasonally high water table is at a depth of 1 foot during wet periods. The soil is occasionally flooded in low areas for brief periods. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. Individual areas are irregular in shape and generally range from 10 to 50 acres in size. Typically the surface layer is 5 inches thick with a Munsell color of light brownish gray and ranges from fine sandy loam and loam to silt loam. The subsoil is usually 48 inches thick. The upper part of the subsoil is light gray sandy clay loam that has brownish yellow mottles. The lower part is gray silty clay or clay that has yellowish brown or brownish yellow mottles. The Toisnot Series (RaA) is mapped in a complex with the Rains soil series in Franklin County however during KCI's investigation the Rains soils were not identified on site. The Toisnot soils occur in shallow depressions, around the heads of drainageways, and on the outer fringe of stream terraces next to the better drained uplands in the upper Coastal Plain. The soil formed in moderately coarse textured fluvial or marine sediments. The Toisnot soils consist of poorly drained, slowly permeable soils that have a low shrink-swell potential. The seasonally high water table is at a depth of 1 foot during wet periods. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. Typically the surface layer is 6 inches thick with a Munsell color of very dark gray and ranges from loam, sandy loam or silt loam. The subsoil is usually 45 to 61 inches thick. A fragipan commonly occurs in the upper boundary of the subsoil and commonly ranges from 20 to 40 inches but may range from 10 to 45 inches. The upper part of the subsoil is light gray or dark gray sandy clay loam that has grayish brown and light gray mottles. The lower part is gray and the texture is commonly sandy clay loam, but it may range to fine sandy loam, sandy loam or sandy clay. Steven F. Stokes, LSS 44,11f? KCI ASSOCIATES OF NORTH CAROLINA, P.A.

Regulatory Project Manager Signature Date 8 August 2003 Expiration Date 8 August 2005 SURVEY PLATS, FIELD SKETCH, WETLAND DELINEATION FORM, ETC., MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE FILE COPY OF THIS FORM, IF REQUIRED OR AVAILABLE: --- - NATIONWIDE PERMIT 27 DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS FINAL NOTICE OF ISSUANCE AND MODIFICATION OF NATIONWIDE PERMITS FEDERAL REGISTER AUTHORIZED MARCH 18, 2002 Stream and Wetland Restoration Activities. Activities in waters of the United States associated with the restoration of former waters, the enhancement of degraded tidal and non-tidal wetlands and riparian areas, the creation of tidal and non-tidal wetlands and riparian areas, and the restoration and enhancement of non-tidal streams and non-tidal open water areas as follows: 1. The activity is conducted on: a. Non-Federal public lands and private lands, in accordance with the terms and conditions of a binding wetland enhancement, restoration, or creation agreement between the landowner and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) or the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS), The National Marine Fisheries Service (NINIF), the National Ocean Service (NOS) or voluntary wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation actions documented by the NRCS pursuant to NRCS regulations; or b. Reclaimed surface coal mined lands, in accordance with a Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act permit issued by the Office of Surface Mining or the applicable state agency (the future reversion does not apply to streams or wetlands created, restored, or enhanced as mitigation for the mining impacts, nor naturally due to hydrologic or topographic features, nor for a mitigation bank); or c. Any other public, private or tribal lands; 2. Notification: For activities on any public or private land that are not described by paragraphs (1)(a) or (1)(b) above, the permittee must notify the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13; and 3. Planting of only native plant species should occur on the site. Activities authorized by this nationwide permit include, to the extent that a Corps permit is required, but are not limited to: the removal of accumulated sediments; the installation, removal, and maintenance of small water control structures; dikes, and bernis; the installation of current deflectors; the enhancement, restoration, or creation of riffle and pool stream structure; the placement of in-stream habitat structures; modifications of the stream bed and/or banks to restore or create stream meanders; the backfilling of artificial channels and drainage ditches; the removal of existing drainage structures; the construction of small nesting-islands; the -construction. of-open- - water areas; the construction of oyster habitat over unvegetated bottom in tidal waters; activities needed to reestablish vegetation, including plowing or discing for seed bed preparation and the exotic or nuisance vegetation; and other related activities. This NWP does not authorize the conversion of a stream to another aquatic use, such as the creation of an impoundment for waterfowl habitat. This NWP does not authorize stream channelization. This NWP does not authorize the conversion of natural wetlands to another aquatic use, such as creation of waterfowl impoundments where a forested wetland previously existed. However, this NWP authorizes the relocation of non-tidal waters, including non-tidal wetlands, on the project site provided there are net gains in aquatic resource functions and values. For example, this NWP may authorize the creation of an open water impoundment in a non-tidal emergent wetland, provided the non-tidal emergent wetland is replaced by creating that wetland 'type on the project site. This NWP does not authorize the relocation of tidal-waters or-the conversion of tidal waters, including tidal wetlands, to other aquatic uses, such as the conversion of tidal wetlands into open water impoundments. Reversion. For enhancement, restoration, and creation projects conducted- under paragraphs (1)(a), this NWP does not authorize any future discharge of dredged or fill material associated with the reversion of the area to its prior condition. In such cases a separate permit would be required for any reversion. For restoration, enhancement, and creation projects conducted under paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b), this NWP also authorizes any future discharge of dredged or fill material associated with the reversion of the area to its documented prior condition and use (i.e., prior to the restoration, enhancement, or creation activities). The reversion must occur within five years after expiration of a limited term wetland restoration or creation agreement or permit, even if the discharge occurs after this NWP expires. This NWP also authorizes the reversion of wetlands that were restored, enhanced, or created on prior-converted cropland that has not been abandoned, in accordance with a binding agreement between the landowner and NRCS or FWS (even though the restoration, enhancement, or creation activity did not require a Section 404 permit). The five-year reversion limit does not apply to agreements without time limits reached under paragraph (1)(a). The prior condition will be documented in the original agreement or permit, and the determination of return to prior conditions will be made by the Federal agency or appropriate state agency executing the agreement or permit. Prior to any reversion activity, the permittee or the appropriate Federal or State agency must notify the District Engineer and - include the documentation of the prior condition. Once an area has reverted back to its prior physical condition, it will be subject to whatever the Corps regulatory requirements will be at that future date. (Sections 10 and 404) Note: Compensatory mitigation is not required for activities authorized by this NWP, provided the authorized work results in a net increase in aquatic resource functions and values n the project area. This NWP can be -used to authorize compensatory mitigation projects, including - mitigation banks, provided the permittee notifies the District Engineer in accordance with . General Condition 13, and the project includes compensatory mitigation. for impacts.to waters.of the United States caused by the authorized work. However, this NWP does not. authorize the... . reversion of an area used for a compensatory mitigation project to its prior condition. NWP 27, _ _..._._._._.. __._ can be used to authorize impacts at a mitigation bank, but only in circumstances where it has been approved under the Interagency Federal Mitigation Banks Guidelines. 3 a. In certain states and tribal lands an individual 401 Water Quality Certification must be obtained or waived (See 33 CFR 330.4(c)). b. For NWPs 12, 14, 17, 18, 32, 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44, Where the state or tribal 401 certification (either generically or individually) does not require or approve water quality` management measures, the permittee must provide water quality management measures that will ensure that the authorized work does not result in more than minimal degradation of water quality (or the Corps determines that compliance with state or local standards, where applicable, will ensure no more than minimal adverse effect on water quality). An important component of water quality management includes stormwater management that minimizes degradation of the -downstream aquatic system, including water quality (refer to General Condition 21 for stormwater management requirements). Another important component of water quality management is the establishment and maintenance of vegetated buffers next to open waters, including streams (refer to General Condition 19 for vegetated buffer requirements for the NWPs). This condition is only applicable to projects that have the potential to affect water quality. While appropriate measures must be taken, in most cases it is not necessary to conduct detailed studies to identify such measures or to require monitoring. 10. Coastal Zone Management. In certain states, an individual state coastal zone management consistency concurrence must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(d)). 11. Endangered Species. a. No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likelyto jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which will destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. Non-federal permittees shall notify the District Engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or is located in the designated critical habitat and shall not begin work on the - " activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. For activities that may affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat, the notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or that utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. As a result of formal or informal consultation with the FWS-or NMFS,the District Engineer may add species-specific regior al endangered species conditions to the NWPsw- ! ? ,., b. Authorization of an activity by a NWP does not authorize the "take," of a threatened or _ endangered species as defined under the. ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the . USFWS or the NMFS, both lethal and non-lethal "takes" of protected species are in violation of the ESA. Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical 5 I .

Brief description of the proposed project; the project's-purpose; direct and - indirect adverse environmental effects the project would cause; any other NWP(s), Regional General Permit(s), or Individual Permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or any related activity. Sketches should be provided when necessary to show that the activity complies with the terms of the NWP (Sketches usually clarify the project and when provided result in a quicker decision.); 4. For NWPs 7, 12, 14, 18, 21, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, and 43, the PCN must also include a delineation of affected special aquatic sites, including wetlands, vegetated shallows (e:g., submerged aquatic vegetation, seagrass beds), and riffle and pool complexes (see paragraph 13(f)); 5. For NWP 7 (Cutfall Structures and Maintenance), the PCN must include information regarding the original design capacities and configurations of those areas of the facility where maintenance dredging or excavation is proposed; 6. For NWP 14 (Linear Transportation Projects), the PCN must include a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset permanent losses of waters of the US and a statement describing how temporary losses of waters of the US will be minimized to the maximum extent practicable; 7. For NWP 21 (Surface Coal Mining Activities), the PCN must include an Office of Surface Mining (OSM) or state-approved mitigation plan, if applicable. To be authorized by this NWP, the District Engineer must determine that the activity complies with the terms and conditions of the NWP and that the adverse environmental effects are minimal both individually and cumulatively and must notify the project sponsor of this determination in writing; 8. For NWP 27 (Stream and Wetland Restoration Activities), the PCN must include documentation of the prior condition of the site that will be reverted by the permittee; 9. For NWP 29 (Single-Family Housing), the PCN must also include: i. Any past use of this NWP by the Individual Permittee and/or the permittee's spouse; ii. A statement that the single-family housing activity is for a personal residence of the permittee; iii. A description of the entire parcel, including its size, and a delineation of wetlands. For the purpose of this NWP, parcels of land measuring \1/4\-acre or less will not 7 District Engineer waives this criterion in writing, and the District Engineer has determined that the project complies with all terms and conditions of this NWP, and that any adverse impacts of the project on the aquatic environment are minimal, both individually and cumulatively; 15. For NWP 43 (Stormwater Management Facilities), the PCN must, include, for - the construction of new stormwater management faeilities;a: maintenance plan- -in•accordance with state and local requirements, if applicable) and a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset losses of waters of the US. For discharges that cause the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of an intermittent stream bed, to be authorized, the District Engineer must determine that the activity complies with the other terms and conditions of the NWP, determine adverse environmental effects are minimal both individually and cumulatively, and waive the limitation on stream impacts in writing before the permittee may proceed; 16. For NWP 44 (Mining Activities), the PCN must include a description of all waters of the US adversely affected by the project, a. description-of measures taken- to.minimize adverse effects to waters of the US, a description of measures taken to comply with the criteria of the NWP, and a reclamation plan (for all aggregate mining activities in isolated waters and non-tidal wetlands adjacent to headwaters and any hard rock/mineral mining activities); 17. For activities that may adversely affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species, the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work; and 18. For activities that may affect historic properties listed.in, or. eligible for listing . in, the National Register of Historic Places, the PCN must state which historic property may be. affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property. c. Form of Notification: The standard Individual Permit application form (Form ENG 4345) may be used as the notification but must clearly indicate that it is a PCN and must- include - - - - all of the information required in (b) (1)-(18) of General Condition 13. A letter containing the requisite information may also be used. d. District Engir..e.?r's Decision: In reviewing the PCN for the proposed activity, the District Engineer will determine whether the activity authorized by the NWP will result in more than minimal individual or cumulative adverse environmental effects or may be contrary to the public interest. The-prospective permittee may submit a proposed. ritigation plan with,the PCN to expedite the process. The District Engineer will consider any proposed compensatory mitigation the applicant has included in the proposal in determining whether the net adverse environmental effects to the aquatic environment of the proposed work are minimal. If the District Engineer determines that the activity complies with the terms and conditions of the NWP and that the adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal, after considering mitigation, the District Engineer will notify the permittee and include any conditions the District Engineer 9 site-specific comments. If so contacted by an agency, the District Engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the notification. The District Engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the specified time frame, but will provide no response to the resource agency, except as provided below. The District Engineer will indicate in the administrative record associated, with each _notif cation_that_the resource agencies'. concerns were considered. As required by section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the District Engineer will provide a response to NMFS. within 30 days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation recommendations. Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps multiple copies of notifications to expedite agency notification. f. Wetland Delineations: Wetland delineations. must. be prepared in accordance.with . the.. . current method required by the Corps (For NWP 29 see paragraph (b)(9)(iii) for parcels less than (\1/4\-acre in size). The permittee may ask the Corps to delineate the special aquatic site. There may be some delay if the Corps does the delineation. Furthermore, the 45-day period will not start until the wetland delineation has been completed and submitted to the Corps, where appropriate. 14. Compliance Certification. Every permittee who has received NWP verification from the Corps will submit a signed certification regarding the completed work and any required mitigation. The certification will be forwarded by the Corps with the authorization letter and will include: a. A statement that the authorized work was done in accordance with the Corps authorization, including any general or specific conditions; b. A statement that any required mitigation was completed in accordance with the permit conditions; and c. The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the work and mitigation. 15. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project is prohibited, except when the acreage loss of waters of the US authorized by the NWPs does not exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the highest specified acreage limit (e..4. if a road crossing 'over tidal waters is constructed under NWP 14, with associated bank . stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters of the US for the total project cannot exceed \ 1/3\-acre) . 16. Water Supply Intakes. No activity, including structures and work in navigable waters of the US or discharges of dredged or fill material, may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake except where the activity is for repair of the public water supply intake structures or adjacent bank stabilization. 17. Shellfish Beds. No activity, including structures and work in navigable waters of the US ,. 11 _ (e.g., easements, deed restrictions) of vegetated buffers to open waters. In many cases, vegetated buffers will be the only compensatory mitigation required. Vegetated buffers should consist of native species. The width of the vegetated buffers required will address documented water quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally, the vegetated buffer.will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the. District. Engineers may require slightly- wider vegetated - buffers to address documented water quality or habitat loss concerns. Where both Wetlands and . . open waters exist on the project site, the Corps will determine the appropriate compensatory mitigation (e.g., stream buffers or wetlands compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic environment or, a watershed basis. In cases where vegetated buffers are determined to be the most appropriate form of compensatory mitigation, the District Engineer may waive or reduce the requirement to provide wetland compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts. g. Compensatory mitigation proposals submitted with the " notification" may be either conceptual or detailed. If conceptual plans are approved under the verification, then the Corps will condition the verification to require detailed plans be submitted and approved by the Corps prior to construction of the authorized activity in waters of the US. h. Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee arrangements or separate activity-specific compensatory mitigation. In all cases that require compensatory mitigation, the mitigation provisions will specify the party responsible for accomplishing and/or complying with the mitigation plan. 20. Spawning Areas. Activities, including structures and work in navigable waters of the US or discharges of dredged or fill material, in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., excavate, fill, or smother downstream by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized. 21. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the activity must be designed to maintain preconstruction downstream flow conditions (e.g., location, capacity, and flow rates). Furthermore, the activity must not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound waters) and the structure or discharge of dredged or fill material must withstand expected high flows. The activity must, to the maximum extent practicable, provide for retaining excess flows from the site, provide for maintaining surface flow rates from the site similar to preconstruction conditions, and provide for not increasing water flows from the project site, relocating water, or redirecting water flow beyond preconstruction. conditions. Stream channelizing will be reduced to the minimal amount necessary, and the activity must,..to the maximum extent practicable, - reduce adverse effects such as flooding or erosion downstream and upstream of the project site, unless the activity is part of a larger system designed to manage water flows. In most cases, it will not be a requirement to conduct detailed studies and monitoring of water flow. ' - ` This condition is only applicable to projects that have the potential to affect waterflows. 13 into waters of the US within the mapped 100year floodplain, below headwaters (i.e. five cfs), resulting in permanent above-grade fills, are not authorized by NWPs 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44. b. Discharges in Floodway; Above Headwaters. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the US within the FEMA or locally mapped-floodway;'resulting'in permanent- above-grade fills, are not authorized by NWPs 39; 40; 42;-and 44. - c. The permittee must comply with any applicable FEMA-approved state or local floodplain management requirements. _ 27. Construction Period. For activities that have not been verified by the Corps and the project was commenced or under contract to commence by the expiration date of the NWP (or modification or revocation date), the work must be completed within 12-months after such date (including any modification that affects the project). For activities that have been verified and the project was commenced or under contract to commence within the verification period, the work must be completed by the date determined by the Corps. For projects that have been verified by the Corps, an extension of a Corps approved completion date maybe requested. This request must be submitted at least one month before the previously approved completion date. FURTHER INFORMATION -- 1. District Engineers have authority to determine if an activity complies with the terms and conditions of a NWP. 2. NWPs do not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, State, or local permits, approvals, or authorizations required by law. 3. NWPs do not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges. 4. NWPs do n..)t authorize any injury to the property or rights of others. 5. NWPs do not authorize interference with any existing or proposed Federal project. DEFINITIONS Best Management Practices (BMPs): BMPs are policies, practices, procedures,,or structures implemented to mitigate the adverse environmental effects on surface water quality resulting from development. BMPs are categorized as structural or nonstructural. A BMP policy may 15 ... fills that change an aquatic area to dry land, increase the bottom elevation of a waterbody, or change the use of a waterbody. The acreage of loss of waters of the US is the threshold measurement of the impact to existing waters for determining whether a project may qualify for a NWP; it is not a net threshold that is calculated-after considering compensatory mitigation that . maybe used to offset losses of aquatic functions and -values: -The loss-of-stream bed includes the linear feet of stream bed that is filled or excavated. -.Waters of the.US temporarily filled, flooded, -- excavated, or drained, but restored to preconstruction contours and elevations after construction, are not included in the measurement of loss of waters of the US. Impacts to ephemeral waters are only not included in the acreage or linear foot measurements of loss of waters of the US or loss of stream bed, for the purpose of determining compliance with the threshold limits of the _. _ NWPs. Non-tidal Wetland: An area that, during a year with normal patterns of precipitation has standing or flowing water for sufficient duration to establish an ordinary high water mark. Aquatic vegetation within the area of standing or flowing water is either non-emergent, sparse, or absent. Vegetated shallows are considered to be open waters. The term "open water" includes rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds. For the purposes of the NWPs, this term does not include ephemeral waters. Perennial Stream: A perennial stream has flowing water year-round during a typical year. The water table is located above the stream bed for the most of the year. Groundwater is the primary source of water for stream flow. Runoff from rainfall is a supplemental source of water for stream flow. Permanent Above-,grade Fill: A discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the US, w including wetlands, that results in a substantial increase in ground elevation and permanently converts part or all of the waterbody to dry land. Structural fills authorized byNWPs 3, 25, 36, etc. are not included. Preservation: The protection of ecologically important wetlands or other aquatic resources in perpetuity through the implementation of appropriate legal and physical mechanisms. Preservation may include protection of upland areas adjacent to wetlands as necessary to ensure protection and/or enhancement of the overall aquatic ecosystem. Restoration: Re-establishment of wetland and/or oth:,. aquatic resource characteristics and function(s) at a site where they have ceased to exist, or exist in a substantially degraded state. Riffle and Pool Complex: Riffle and pool complexes are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines. Riffle and pool'complexes sometimes characterize steep gradient sections of streams. Such stream sections are recognizable by their hydraulic characteristics. The rapid movement of water over a course substrate in riffles results in a rough flow, a turbulent surface and high dissolved oxygen levels in the water. Pools are deeper areas associated with riffles. A slower stream velocity, a streaming flow, a smooth surface, and a finer substrate characterize pools. 17 and maintenance of vegetated buffers I a method of compensatory mitigation that can be used in conjunction with the restoration, creation, enhancement or preservation of aquatic habitats to ensure that activities authorized by NWPs result in minimal adverse effects to the aquatic environment. (See General Condition Vegetated Shallows: Vegetated shallows are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines. They are areas that are permanently inundated and under normal circumstances have rooted aquatic vegetation, such as seagrasses in marine and estuarine systems and a variety of vascular rooted plants in freshwater systems. ?Waterbody: A waterbody is any area that in a normal year has water flowing or standing above ground to the extent that evidence of an ordinary high water mark is established. Wetlands contiguous to the waterbody are considered part of the waterbody. FINAL REGIONAL CONDITIONS FOR NATIONWIDE PERMITS IN THE WILMINGTON DISTRICT 1. Waters Excluded from NWP or Subject to Additional Notification Requirements: a. The Corps identified waters that will be excluded from use of this NWP. These waters are: 1. Discharges into Waters of the United States designated by either the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) or the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) as anadromous fish spawning area are prohibited during the period between February 15 and June 30, without prior written approval from NCDMF or NCWRC and the Corps. 2. Discharges into Waters of the United States designated as sturgeon spawning areas are prohibited during the period between February 1 and June 30, without prior written approval from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). b. The Corps identified waters that will be subject to additional notification requirements for activities authorized by this NWP. These waters are: 1. Prior to the use of any NWP in any of the following north Carolina designated waters, applicants must comply with Nationwide Permit General Condition 13. In addition, the applicant must furnish a written statement of compliance with all of the conditions of the applicable Nationwide Permit. The North Carolina designated waters that require additional notification requirements are "Outstanding Resource Waters" (ORW) and "High Quality Waters" (HQW) (as defined by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality), or "Inland Primary Nursery Areas" (IPNA) (as defined by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission), or contiguous wetlands (as defined by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality), or "Primary Nursery Areas" (PNA) (as defined by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries). 19 Buncombe Burke Caldwell Wilkes Cherokee Clay Graham Swain Haywood Henderson Jackson.. Surry Macon Madison McDowell Stokes Mitchell Polk Rutherford Transylvania Watauga ` 6. Applicants shall notify the NCDENR Shellfish Sanitation Section prior to dredging in or removing sediment from an area closed to shell fishing where the effluent may be released to an area open for shell fishing or swimming in order to avoid contamination of the disposal area -and allow a temporary shellfish closure to be made. Any disposal of sand to the beach should occur between November 1 and April 30 when recreational usage is low. Only clean sand should be used and no dredged sand from closed shell fishing areas. If beach disposal was to occur at times other than stated above or if sand from a closed shell fishing area is to be used, a swim advisory shall be posted and a press release shall be made. NCDENR Shellfish Sanitation Section must be notified before commencing this activity. 2. List of Final Corps Regional Modifications and Conditions for All Nationwide Permits a. Individual or multiple NWPs may not be used for activities that result in the cumulative loss or degradation of greater than 300 total linear feet of perennial streambed or intermittent streambed that exhibits important aquatic function(s). b. Prior to the use of any NWP (except 13, 27, and 39) for any activity that has more than a total of 150 total linear feet of perennial streambed impacts or intermittent streambed impacts (if the intermittent stream has important aquatic function), the applicant must comply with Nationwide Permit General Condition 13. In addition, the applicant shall furnish a written statement of compliance with all of the conditions listed of the applicable NWP. Compensatory mitigation is typically required for any impact that requires such notification. [Note: The Corps uses the Intermittent Channel Evaluation Form, located with Permit Information on the Regulatory Program Web Site, to aid in the determination of the intermittent channel stream status. Also, NWPs 13, 27 and 39 have specific reporting requirements.] c. For all Nationwide Permits which allow the use of concrete as a building material, meastres will be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete, including bags of uncured concrete, from coming into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened. d. For all Nationwide Permits that allow for the use of riprap material for bank stabilization, filter cloth must be placed underneath the riprap as an additional requirement of its use in North Carolina waters. e. For all NWPs that involve the construction of culverts, measures will be included in the construction that will promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. All culverts in the 20 CAMA coastal counties must be buried to a depth of one foot below the Roadway 21 Approach Fill Bankfull Culvert buried below sireambed to appropriate Stream depth receipt of the application. In such cases, the applicant will be required to submit a formal application and pay of the appropriate fee, and DWQ will be required to process the application through normal procedures; 3. Stream enhancement projects (as defined and limited below), that do not disturb wetlands and that are not being conducted for compensatory mitigation or compensatory mitigation credit and do not include any stream channel relocation, do not require written application to and approval from the Division of Water Quality, and, therefore, do not require payment of an application fee to the Division of Water Quality. Stream enhancement is the process of implementing stream rehabilitation practices in order to improve water quality and/or ecological function. These - practices must only be conducted on streams that are not experiencing severe aggradation or erosion. Stream enhancement does not include the relocation of the stream channel. Stream enhancement bank stabilization techniques include the use of woody vegetation as the primary means of long-term stability, and "soft" techniques such as root wads that encourage the establishment of dense woody vegetation. Stream enhancement techniques do not typically include the use of stream bank or bed hardening techniques such as riprap or other rock, gabion, block or concrete structures. However, enhancement activities may also include the placement of in stream habitat or grade control structures such as cross vanes, j-hook vanes, and wing deflectors that do not affect the overall dimension, pattern, or profile of a stable stream. The applicant is required to notify the Division in writing with three copies of detailed enhancement plans and specifications before the impact occurs if the stream enhancement project disturbs greater than 500 feet of stream bank or if the project proposes the use of in stream structures. If the Division determines that the project does not meet the above definition of stream enhancement, then the Division shall notify the applicant in writing with an explanation within 30 days of receipt of the notification to require application and payment of the appropriate fee; 4. Stream stabilization projects that include the use of any structure or fill in the existing stream bed or disturb greater that 500 feet of stream bank that are proposed under this General Certification require written application to and approval from the Division of Water Quality. Stream stabilization is defined as the in-place stabilization of an eroding stream bank using measures that consist primarily of "hard" engineering, such as but not limited to concrete lining, rip rap or other rock, and gabions. The use of "hard" engineering will not be considered as stream restoration or enhancement; 5. Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico or Randleman River Basins (or any other major river basins with Riparian Area Protection Rules [Buffer Rules] in effect at the time of application) requires written concurrence for this Certification from DWQ in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0200. Activities listed as "exempt" from these rules do not need to apply for written concurrence under this Certification. New development activities located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not) within the Neuse and Tar- Pamlico River Basins shall be limited to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0200. All new development shall be located, designed, constructed, and maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent 23 Consistent.

The plat map and other information was provided to allow a determination to be made as to whether or not the site would require compliance with the Tar Pamlico Buffer Rule. The features represented on the Franklin County Soils and the Louisburg USGS Quad maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Tar Pamlico Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are no features depicted on either of the maps wihtin the project boundary. Therefore, according the Rule, this property is not subject to the Tar Pamlico River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0259 (NCAC 0259).

If any modifications, performance reservations, or recommendations are applicable, a list is enclosed and is incorporated as a part of this letter of approval. The enclosed Certificate of Approval should be posted at the job site. In addition, it should be noted that this plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land-disturbing activity has been undertaken, in accordance with Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 413.0029. If any modifications are not incorporated into the plan and implemented in the field, the site will be in violation of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute (NCGS), 113A-61.1). 15A NCAC 413.0018(a) requires that a copy of the approved plan be on file at the job site. Also, this letter gives the notice required by NCGS 113A-61.1(a) concerning our right to perform periodic inspections to ensure compliance with the approved plan. North Carolina's sedimentation pollution control program is performance oriented, requiring protection of the natural resources and adjoining properties. If at any time during this project it is determined that the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan is inadequate to meet =he requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NCGS 113A-51 through =6), this office may require revisions in the plan and its implementation to ensure compliance with the Act. 1628 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Telephone (919)571-4700 FAX (919)571-4718 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled110% post-consumer paper Daniels & Daniels Farm, Inc.

This could include the Division of Water Quality under stormwater or other specific water quality standards, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Article 404 jurisdiction. Our approval does not supersede any other required permit or approval. Since this project disturbs one or more acres, one such approval relates to the stormwater that will discharge from your project. This runoff is permitted pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) administered in North Carolina by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Attached is the General Stormwater NPDES Permit, NCG010000, as revised October 1, 2001, covering your activity. You are responsible for complying with the General Permit requirements and are subject to enforcement by DWQ for any violations of the General Permit. Due to the location of this project, it should be noted that a rule to protect and maintain existing buffers along watercourses in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin became effective on January 1, 2-000: The Tar-Pamlico RiverRipadan Area Protection and Maintenance Rule (15A NCAC 2B .0259) applies to all perennial and intermittent streams, lakes, ponds and estuaries in the Neuse River Basin with existing vegetation on the adjacent land or "riparian area". In riparian areas with existing vegetation in the first 30 feet directly adjacent to the stream, the rule prohibits land disturbance or new development within the first 30 feet of land next to the water (the remaining 20 feet of the total buffer must be revegetated upon completion of any proposed land-disturbing activity). In riparian areas with existing vegetation that is less than 30 feet wide, the rule prohibits land disturbance or new development within the area that contains the existing vegetation (but not the entire 50 foot riparian area). For more information about this riparian area rule, please contact the Division of Water Quality's Wetland/401 Unit at 919-733-1786, or a Division of Water Quality representative at this regional office. Please note that this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided,concerning financial responsibility. You are requested to file an amended Financial Responsibility Form if any changes become necessary. In addition, it would be helpful if you would notify this office when the proposed land-disturbing activity covered by this plan is initiated. Your cooperation is appreciated and we look forward to working with you on this project. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Sincerely, ; -zz- William H.

The Division of Water Qu. is delegated by the US EPA to administer the NPDES permit program in North Carolina. You have been given a cop this General Permit and coverage under this general permit because your project is subject to these NPDES permit requirements. You must comply with the applicable terms and conditions of this General Permit and you subject to enforcement by the Division of Water Quality for any violations of the General Permit. It is necessary to file a Notice of Intent to be covered by this General Permit nor to receive a Certificate of Coverage from Division of Water Quality. If you do not wish to be covered by this general permit you may make application to Division of Water Quality to be covered under an individual stormwater NPDES permit: Description of Provisions The General Permit is tied to an approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the North Carolina Divii of Land Resources, or an approved Local Program. Adherence to the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan is, enforceable component of the General Permit. The General Permit not only requires adherence to the approved Eros and-Sedimentation Control Plan, but also includes other limitations and controls. Some of the major items are outlim below. • Coverage - The permit covers projects that disturb 5 or more acres of land until March 10, 2003 when this thresh will be dropped to cover projects disturbing one or more acre of land. Inspections - The permittee must inspect all erosion and sedimentation control facilities and also must obse runoff at stormwater discharges in accordance with the general permit (see Part 1 Section B for specific frequenci etc.). Discharges to certain impaired waters require more frequent inspections. • Records - Records of inspections must be maintained with a copy of the approved Erosion and Sedimental Control Plan at the project site. An example of a potential inspection log is attached for your use. • The General Permit has other provisions that address areas that could effect stormwater runoff from construct activity that are not a part of an erosion and sedimentation control plan. These areas are addressed in Pa Section A. of the General Permit and include matters such as demolition debris, chemical usage, and oil spills t may contaminate stormwater runoff on a construction site. Please note that there are other provisions in the permit and you should read and become familiar with all of the conditions.
