Hey Lyle,
Thanks again for your review. I have provided our responses in blue below.
1) Are the proposed 0.01 permanent impacts a result of above grade fill (permanent wetland with loss) or
permanent wetland conversion from forested to herbaceous wetlands (permanent wetland impact with no
loss)?
The proposed 0.01 acre of permanent impact is wetland conversion from forested to herbaceous wetland and
will result in no loss.
2) Can you provide a quick description of the habitat for USFWS within the permit area, so that we can determine
the potential for suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac? Sumac survives best in areas where some form of
disturbance has provided an open area. Several populations in North Carolina are on the edges of artificially
maintained clearings. For example, was the easement maintained to not allow for woody vegetation growth?
Were the edges of the easement too competitive to allow for colonization? Is the canopy dense not allowing for
sufficient sunlight for sumac growth? Do you recall surveying for sumac species during the delineation?
The site is entirely forested except for the roadside on the eastern side of the site and the maintained utility
corridor bisecting the site. This roadside has heavy canopy cover over the maintained right of way that inhibits
ample sunlight for sumac growth. English Ivy (Hedera helix) was also present along the maintained roadside and
was the predominant groundcover species. The utility corridor was maintained, contained only herbaceous
vegetation with no evident sumac stems, and had canopy cover from the surrounding trees that allowed for only
moderate sunlight into the corridor. The species within the corridor were also highly competitive/invasive
species, including Microstegium viminium and Solidago canandensis, and would likely outcompete Michaux's
sumac for the limited sunlight. Therefore, we did not consider these areas to be suitable habitat for Michaux's
sumac.
While we did not perform a formal survey for Michaux's sumac, none were observed during delineation on May
18, 2018 which was within the survey window. The nearest known population of Michaux's sumac is 2.5 miles
away.
3) Can you please provide me a copy of the PJD Request that was submitted for this project?
Our PJD submittal is attached.
In addition to our PJD submittal, I have attached some site photos of the roadside and utility corridor that I took last
week. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
Best,
Preston Butler

Hey Phil,
I have reviewed the PCN for the above referenced project, and I have a few comments/questions that need to be
addressed prior to proceeding with review and issuance of the permit verification. Please let me know if you have any
questions.

permanent wetland conversion from forested to herbaceous wetlands (permanent wetland impact with no

RE: Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
Grove Ave Site
Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lastinger,
Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) has completed a delineation of streams and wetlands for a 8.35-
acre site off Grove Ave in Wake County, NC. The attached information, including required
forms, tables, and figures, is submitted for your review and determination of jurisdiction under
the Clean Water Act (CWA).
Project Description & Methodology
As shown in Figure 1, the proposed project is located in Raleigh, NC within the Neuse River
Basin (USGS Hydrologic Unit 03020201) and comprises approximately 8.35 acres.
Delineations were performed on May 24, 2018, in compliance with methodology set forth in the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual (USACE 1987) and
subsequent guidance including the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement.
Surface waters were assessed for jurisdiction under the CWA using field indications of ordinary
high water mark and the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Stream Identification Form
Version 4.11.
Delineation Results
Figure 2 is presented using the Raleigh West (2013) US Geological Survey 1:24,000 Quadrangle
Map. Figure 3 presents the results of the delineation, including one stream and three wetlands.
Table 1 presents detailed information on each aquatic resource within the study area, including
latitude/longitude, estimated amount and type of aquatic resource in the review area, and
geographic authority to which the resource may be subject. Based on field data, there are
approximately 487 linear feet of perennial stream, and approximately 1.6 acres of wetland.
Mr. James Lastinger Parkers Gate
February 11, 2019 Page 2 of 2
We respectfully request your review of this information so that a preliminary jurisdictional
determination under the CWA may be obtained. If you have any questions, need additional
information, or would like to schedule a site visit, please contact me at your earliest convenience
at (919) 274-5979 or chris.hopper@carolinaeco.com.
Sincerely,
Chris Hopper

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

review area.

wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features.Jurisdictional 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.Isolated 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: Wetland 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
(at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type)

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 to provide an official
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:
