EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On behalf of Wake County Public School System (WCPSS), Timmons Group
Environmental Technicians, Morgan Gilbert and Kate Hefner conducted a field delineation on
February 26, 2020 to identify potential jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) within the
project study limits of the Northwoods Elementary School project (Site).

The Site encompasses approximately 18.2 acres and is located in Cary, North Carolina
within Wake County (See Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The Site is bound by residential area to the
north, east, and west. The Site is bound by Chapel Hill Road and residential area to the south. The
Site is located within the Piedmont Physiographic Province.

The Site is occupied by approximately 15 acres of developed land associated with an
existing elementary school and 3 acres of mixed hardwood-pine forest. In addition, 6 wetland and
2 stream features were identified within the Site (See Figure 6. Preliminary Wetlands and Waters
of the U.S. Delineation Map). The Site is located within the Neuse River Basin (030202010801).
Surface water on-Site drains generally to the north into unnamed tributaries of Black Creek. The
Site is not located within a FEMA designated floodway or 100-year floodplain according to FEMA
FIRM Map #3720076400J (effective date 5/2/2006). The Site is located within Zone X, which is
an area of minimal flood hazard.

The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual; the Regional Supplement to the USACE
Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont (Version 2.0) and subsequently
issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of jurisdictional stream channels
through the recognition of field indicators of an ordinary high-water mark within drainage features
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987; USACE 2012; USACE 2005). In addition, streams were
delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (NC DWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and
Their Origins (Version 4.11). Using these methodologies, preliminary delineation mapping was
produced and is included along with the attached Site description and discussion for your review.
Flagging or marking of the WOTUS and wetland boundaries was conducted in the field during
this effort. During our delineation, two (2) intermittent streams totaling approximately 694 linear
feet were identified within the Site. In addition, six (6) palustrine forested wetland areas totaling
approximately 0.24 acres in size and one (1) palustrine emergent wetland area totaling
approximately 0.07 acres in size were identified within the Site.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

On behalf of WCPSS, Timmons Group Environmental Technicians, Morgan Gilbert and
Kate Hefner conducted a field delineation on February 26, 2020 to identify potentially
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) within the project study limits of Northwoods
Elementary School located at 8850 Chapel Hill Road, Cary, North Carolina.
3.0 SITE INFORMATION

3.1 Site Location

The Site encompasses approximately 18.2 acres and is located in Cary, North Carolina
within Wake County (See Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The Site is bound by residential area to the
north, east, and west. The Site is bound by Chapel Hill Road and residential area to the south. The
Site is located within the Piedmont Physiographic Province.

3.2 Site Description

The Site is occupied by approximately 15 acres of developed land associated with an
existing elementary school and 3 acres of mixed hardwood-pine forest. In addition, 6 wetland and
2 stream features were identified within the Site (See Figure 6. Preliminary Wetlands and Waters
of the U.S. Delineation Map). The Site is located within the Neuse River Basin (030202010801).
Surface water on-Site drains generally to the north into unnamed tributaries of Black Creek. The
Site is not located within a FEMA designated floodway or 100-year floodplain according to FEMA
FIRM Map #3720076400J (effective date 5/2/2006). The Site is located within Zone X, which is
an area of minimal flood hazard.

4.0 METHODS OF DELINEATION

4.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review

A review of publicly available resources was performed prior to the onsite field
investigation to determine if there is the potential for jurisdictional areas, and if present, the extent
of these areas located within the Site. These mapping resources generally include, but are not
limited to, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils database, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database.

4.2 Field Investigation

The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual; the Regional Supplement to the USACE

Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package Timmons Group
Northwoods Elementary School March 2020
Page 3
Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont (Version 2.0) and subsequently
issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of jurisdictional stream channels
through the recognition of field indicators of an ordinary high-water mark within drainage features
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987; USACE 2012; USACE 2005). In addition, streams were
delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (NC DWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and
Their Origins (Version 4.11). The wetland boundary was flagged with consecutively numbered
pink and black ribbon at approximately 50-foot intervals, with distances reduced in areas of low
visibility. Field data stations were established within proximity to the flagged wetland boundaries,
usually within 10 to 20 feet, to document upland and wetland conditions existing along the
jurisdictional boundary. Field data stations were labeled and marked with blue flagging in the field.
Features identified in the field were GPS located for the Site.

5.0 DELINEATION FINDINGS

5.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review Findings

Based on a review of the USGS topographic map, elevations at the Site range from
approximately 450 to 490 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The USGS topographic map, the
NRCS soil survey map, and the NWI map depict one intermittent stream northeast of the Site (See
Figure 1. Vicinity Map and Figure 3. Environmental Inventory Map). The stream is depicted
alongside the eastern boundary in the NRCS soil survey map (See Figure 5. NRCS Soil Survey
Map).
The Wake County soil survey identifies three (3) soil mapping units within the study area
(See Figure 3 Environmental Inventory Map). All soil types within the Site are identified as non-
hydric: Cecil-Urban land complex, 2-10% slopes (CfC), Pacolet-Urban land complex, 10-15%
slopes (PbD), and Urban land (Ur). Drainage classes within the study area are listed as: Well
drained (CfC and PbD) and not applicable (Ur).

5.2 Onsite Determination/Findings

5.2.1 Jurisdictional Area Summary

Six (6) potentially jurisdictional wetlands and two (2) potentially jurisdictional streams
were identified within the Site. Five (5) wetlands identified on-site were classified as palustrine
forested (PFO) wetland and one (1) wetland identified on-site was classified as a PFO wetland and
a palustrine emergent (PEM) wetland. The two (2) streams identified on-site were classified as
intermittent. A summary of the jurisdictional areas identified on-Site is provided below in Table
2. Delineated Area Summary. The location and size of the jurisdictional area delineated onsite is
shown on Figure 6: Preliminary Wetlands and Waters of the U.S. Delineation Map.

2) Delineated area acreages are preliminary based on field delineation and have not
been confirmed or surveyed.

5.2.1.1 Delineated Area Vegetation

Palustrine forested (PFO) wetland communities within the Site can be characterized as
headwater forests that are dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda),
green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) within the canopy
and understory layers. The herbaceous and woody vine layers are dominated by Japanese
honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) and greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia). Other species observed
include: tulip-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera).

The palustrine emergent wetland community within the Site can be characterized as non-
tidal marsh that is dominated by an herbaceous layer of primarily soft rush (Juncus effusus) and
loblolly pine. Other species observed include: Japanese honeysuckle.

5.2.1.2 Delineated Area Hydrology

Primary wetland hydrology indicators observed within the Site included: Surface Water
(A1), High Water Table (A2), Saturation (A3), Water-Stained Leaves (B9), and Oxidized
Rhizospheres on Living Roots (C3). Secondary indicators included: Drainage Patterns (B10) and
Crayfish Burrows (C8).
At the time of on-Site field investigation, water table ranged from 7 to 11 inches below
surface. Surface water was observed in 40% of the Palustrine Emergent Wetland (PEM) at a half
inch depth. Saturation was observed at surface.

5.2.1.3 Delineated Area Soils

Hydric soil was identified within the following soil series onsite: Cecil-Urban land
complex, 2 to 10 percent slopes (CfC).
Hydric soil indicators observed on-Site included: Depleted Matrix (F3) and Redox Dark
Surface (F6).

5.3.1 Upland Area Summary

Most of the upland areas located within the Site are characterized as developed land and
mixed, upland hardwood and pine forests (see Figure 3. Environmental Inventory Map). Upland
soils were typically light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2) to brown (7.5YR 5/4, 7.5YR 4/3, and 10YR
4/3) to dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) to reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/6) and to yellowish red (5YR 5/6) in
the upper 8 inches. From 8 inches to 18 inches, the upland soils were typically yellowish red (5YR
5/6) to yellowish brown (10YR 5/6 and 10YR 5/4) to olive gray (5Y 5/2). Some redoximorphic
features or soil depletions were found within upland soils. Soil textures include loam, sandy loam,
fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, clay loam, loamy clay, and clay. The mapped soils present
within the Site are depicted on Figure 3: Environmental Inventory Map and Figure 5: NRCS Map.
The location and size of upland areas delineated onsite are shown on Figure 6: Preliminary
Wetlands and Waters of the U.S. Delineation Map.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
Version: May 2017
Page 4

F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United States”on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional “waters of
the United States”. PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
“preliminary” in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United
States” are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other “affected
party” (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS
Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
Size of Property or Review Area acres.
The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

ƒJurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404
wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features.
ƒJurisdictional non-wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries,
impoundments) should be labeled as Non-Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary,
open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear
length of each of these features as appropriate.
ƒIsolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non-
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non-Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non-jurisdictional (i.e.
“Isolated”, “No Significant Nexus”, or “Upland Feature”). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
ƒWetland and non-wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non-wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
linear length of these features as appropriate.
Completed Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region

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