On May 18-19, 2020, a field survey was conducted by Parsons to determine the location and extent of any potential WOTUS, including wetlands and waterbodies, that would be regulated by the Clean Water Act (CWA) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The field survey was also conducted to determine the location and extent of any potential Waters of the State which include any wetland, stream, or waterbody as defined in North Carolina's General Statute 143-212. Project Location and Background On July 1, 2015, The Chemours Company, a spin-off company from DuPont, became the owner of the 2,177- acre property along with DuPont's manufacturing units. The Chemours Company continues to use the property as a manufacturing facility (Fayetteville Works) of plastic sheeting, fluorochemicals, and intermediates for plastic manufacturing. The Chemours Company Fayetteville Works Project area is located approximately 15 miles southeast of the City of Fayetteville in Bladen County, North Carolina. The 2,177-acre site is relatively flat and has undeveloped, open land and woodland. It is bounded on the east by the Cape Fear River, on the west by North Carolina Highway 87, and on the north and south by farmland. On February 25, 2019, the North Carolina Superior Court for Bladen County entered a Consent Order (CO) among The Chemours Company FC, LLC (Chemours) and the State of North Carolina and Cape Fear River Watch to address discharges of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the Chemours Fayetteville Works (the Site). Among other things, the CO requires Chemours to develop a remedial plan for reducing PFAS loading from Old Outfall 002 at the Site to the Cape Fear River. Design and implementation details for near -term remedial actions at the facility have been developed' (Parsons 2018). Ongoing planning documents addressed PFAS releases to groundwater from historical and current operations. An option considered in these documents included the capture and pumping of groundwater to a new wastewater treatment facility designed to treat PFAS. Two pump station locations were considered; however, the study area discussed below is the only pump station location currently being considered. According to the CO, Chemours shall implement measures to reduce PFAS loading to the Cape Fear River that will achieve the reduction in controlling indicator parameters [GenX and PFMOAA]. To meet this PFAS reduction, Chemours will construct instream flow -through structures in four streams. The ' Per a Consent Order, dated February 25, 2019, The Chemours Company denies any violation of any law, regulation or permit, and has agreed remediation to avoid the expense, burden, and uncertainty of litigation and to address community concerns about the facility. 1 Introduction instream flow -through structures would each create a very small impoundment above a gabion filter basket that is designed to minimize the PFAS entering the Cape Fear River. The study area that encompasses approximately 55 acres is located north of Glengerry Road in the Cape Fear River floodplain extending north and parallel to the river to approximately 200 yards south of the mouth of Willis Creek, crossing four unnamed tributaries to the Cape Fear River (Seep A, B, C, and D). All of these streams have a perennial flow that originates in groundwater seepage from the adjacent uplands that includes most of the east side of the Fayetteville Works facility. The streams also receive stormwater flow and occasional backwater flooding from the Cape Fear River. Detailed mapping of the project area is provided in Appendix A. On May 18-19, 2020, a field survey was conducted by Parsons to determine the location and extent of any potential WOTUS within the study area for the proposed flow -through cell project. This report presents the results of that field survey. 2 Methodology '1 Methodology Desktop Review Prior to field investigations, a desktop analysis of available information was reviewed, and potential wetland areas were identified using published data, including: National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps; United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute series topographic maps; and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil mapping for Bladen County, North Carolina. NWI and Floodplain Mapping The NWI mapping was used as an initial screen to determine locations of potential water resources within the project area. NWI wetlands are illustrated in the detailed mapping provided in Appendix A. Wetlands on NWI maps are classified in accordance with (Cowardin et al. 1979). USGS Mapping During review of USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping (Appendix A), there were no blueline or intermittent streams mapped within the project area. The Cape Fear River is a 202-mile long river that touches parts of Harnett, Cumberland, Bladen, Columbus, Pender, Brunswick, and New Hanover counties in North Carolina before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. NRCS Soil Mapping NRCS database includes a listing of soil map units that relate to specific soil series. A soil series is the lowest, most homogeneous class in the soil taxonomy system. Each soil series has distinct soil attributes that are defined by the NRCS. The soil attributes include physical and chemical properties and interpretive groupings produced by the NRCS, including attributes that relate to potential soil impacts. Examples of those soil attributes include the topographic setting and average slope, hydric soil conditions, drainage characteristics, susceptibility to water and wind erosion, and suitability for use as farmland. The NRCS classifies each soil type as follows: hydric (100%), predominately hydric (66-99%), partially hydric (33-65%), predominately non-hydric (1-32%), and not-hydric (0%). Hydric soils are soils that are inundated with water long enough to produce anaerobic conditions, and they are an indicator of jurisdictional wetlands. Generally, hydric soils are those soils that are poorly drained or very poorly drained. Hydric soils may indicate the presence of wetlands or high-water tables. According to the Soil Survey Geographic Database, two mapped soil units fall within the study area of Fayetteville Works flow -through cell project: Congaree silt loam, frequently flooded (Cn) (primarily in the Cape Fear River floodplain) and Wickham fine sandy loam, 1-6 percent slopes (WmB), (predominantly at the toe of slope between the Cape Fear River floodplain to the east and the uplands to the west). NRCS soil map units are illustrated in the detailed mapping provided in Appendix A. Watersheds The Chemours Company Fayetteville Works Project is located within the following hydrologic unit code (HUC) 12-digit watersheds: Phillips Creek -Cape Fear River (030300050104). The Phillips Creek -Cape Fear River watershed has an area of 44.0 square miles (NCWSN 2019). Landcover types within this watershed include wetlands (33.0%), agriculture (19.1%), shrubland (16.7%), grassland (2.1%), forest (24.4%), developed (2.9%), and open water (1.8%) (NCWSN 2019). 3 Methodology Field Reconnaissance A field survey was conducted on May 18-19, 2020 to determine the presence of streams, wetlands, and other water resources within the project area (i.e., the proposed flow -through cell area). Wetlands, streams, and other waters were evaluated in the field and mapped with a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit (Trimble Geo7x). Data were recorded on applicable datasheets and features were photographed. The GPS data was converted to ArcGIS shapefiles, data was attributed, and entered into the project GIS database. Wetlands were delineated using guidance set forth in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) (USACE 2010). Data points were taken in locations that exhibited one (or more) wetland indicators based on visual observations and for upland locations adjacent to the wetlands. If all indicators were missing, no formal data was collected. Streams were evaluated using the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (NCDWO 2010). The upstream drainage area for each stream was calculated using StreamStats Version 4.3 (USGS 2019). All streams were photographed and mapped with a GPS unit. 4 Results '3 Results Wetlands The field investigation resulted in the identification of four, likely jurisdictional, wetlands in the vicinity of the flow -through cell project area. Approximately 0.696 acres were delineated in the four wetland areas, however all the wetlands are larger than the delineated area. Detailed mapping of the delineated features is provided in Appendix A. The wetland determination data forms and accompanying upland data forms, photographs, and wetland functions and values datasheets are presented in Appendix B. There were no wetlands present in the Seep A stream flow -through cell area, however there are seep wetlands upstream (west) of the Seep A site. Seep B Wetland The Seep B wetland is a seep wetland adjacent and parallel to the Seep B stream, which is deeply incised in the Cape Fear River floodplain. The hydrology of the seep wetland is primarily from groundwater that emerges in the stream banks above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The Seep B Wetland is very small, with approximately 0.062-acre groundwater -fed seep within the Seep B stream banks. The wetland extends downstream (east) beyond the project area. The direct impact to the wetland is estimated to be 0.007 acres. The small seep receives infrequent overflow flooding from the Cape Fear River, overflow flooding during stormwater runoff, and has groundwater to the surface on both sides of the stream. The seep appears to remain saturated for long durations during the growing season. Dominant vegetation within this wetland includes lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus) and Gray's sedge (Carex grayi). The overstory trees and brush had been cleared at the sample point. Within the wetland, soils are sandy loams that are clearly anaerobic/depleted. The soils are saturated to the surface. The upland data point (Seep B Upland 1) is well -drained and had recently been cleared adversely affecting the plant community. The upland data point was dominated by Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) and American holly (Ilex opaca). Soils are a sandy loam that transitioned into a sandy clay loam. The upland point was on a stream terrace that was moderately well -drained. Seep B Temporary Crossing Wetland An access road to the Seep B equipment area will cross the Seep B Temporary Crossing Wetland. This wetland is a bottomland hardwood swale in the Cape Fear River floodplain. Approximately 0.465 acres were delineated, however the wetland extends to the south in the Cape Fear River floodplain. The direct impact to the wetland is estimated to be 0.060 acres. The impacted area has already been cleared of trees and brush to avoid potential impacts to the northern long-eared bat. It appears that the wetland receives a minor amount of groundwater seepage, however the primary hydrology comes from surface water runoff during stormwater events and infrequent overflow flooding from the Cape Fear River. The bottomland hardwood swale appears to remain saturated for long durations during the growing season. Since the area was recently cleared, the trees and shrubs had been removed. The dominant trees south of the temporary crossing were American elm (Ulmus americana), box elder (Acer negundo), and red maple (Acer rubrum). The dominant herbaceous vegetation in the impacted area included Gray's sedge, Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), and red maple. Within the wetland, soils are silt loam that transition to silty clay loam at a depth of three inches. Wetland hydrology indicators for this floodplain 5 Results swale include its terrain position in the Cape Fear River floodplain with obvious drainage patterns, oxidized rhizospheres on living roots, and crayfish burrows. Seep C Wetland The Seep C wetland is a seep wetland adjacent and parallel to the Seep C stream, which is deeply incised in the Cape Fear River floodplain. The hydrology of the seep wetland is primarily from groundwater that emerges in the stream banks above the OHWM. The Seep C Wetland is small, with approximately 0.064- acre groundwater -fed seep within the Seep C stream banks. The direct impact to the wetland is estimated to be 0.006 acres. The wetland extends downstream (south then east) beyond the project area. The small seep receives overflow flooding from the Cape Fear River, overflow flooding during stormwater runoff, and has groundwater to the surface on both sides of the stream. The seep appears to remain saturated for long durations during the growing season. Dominant vegetation within this wetland includes lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), Frank's sedge (Carex frankii), and Gray's sedge (Carex grayi). The overstory trees and brush had been cleared at the sample point, however knees from bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) remained. Within the wetland, soils are silt loam that transition to sandy loam at depths greater than 6 inches, and they are clearly anaerobic/depleted. The soils are saturated to the surface. The upland data point (Seep C Upland 1) is well -drained and had recently been cleared adversely affecting the plant community. The upland data point was primarily bare/denuded, and it had recently been treated with herbicide. The only dominant species present was Gray's sedge (Carex grayi). Soils are silt loam. The upland point was on a stream terrace that was moderately well -drained. Seep D Wetland The Seep D wetland is a seep wetland adjacent and the origin of the Seep D stream, which is deeply incised in the Cape Fear River floodplain. The hydrology of the seep wetland is primarily from groundwater that emerges in the stream banks above the OHWM. The Seep D Wetland is small, with approximately 0.105- acre groundwater -fed seep within the Seep D stream banks. The direct impact to the wetland is estimated to be 0.009 acres. The wetland extends downstream (south then east) beyond the project area. The small seep receives overflow flooding from the Cape Fear River, overflow flooding during stormwater runoff, and has groundwater to the surface on both sides of the stream. The seep appears to remain saturated for long durations during the growing season. Dominant vegetation within this wetland includes lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), Frank's sedge (Carex frankii), and Gray's sedge (Carex grayi). The overstory trees and brush had been cleared at the sample point, however knees from bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) remained. Within the wetland, soils are silt loam that transition to sandy loam at depths greater than 6 inches, and they are clearly anaerobic/depleted. The soils are saturated to the surface. The upland data points (Seep D Upland 1 and Upland 2) are well -drained and had recently been cleared adversely affecting the plant communities. The Seep D Upland 1 data point was primarily bare/denuded, and it had recently been treated with herbicide. The dominant species that remained included Japanese stiltgrass and pineland threeawn (Aristida stricta). The Seep D Upland 2 data point was also dominated by Japanese stiltgrass and pineland threeawn, however this area was not treated with herbicide. The trees that were recently cleared near the upland points included cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda), red maple, and sugarberry (Celtis laevigata). Soils are silt loam. The upland points were on relatively high stream terraces that were moderately well -drained. Ce Results Results Streams Field investigation resulted in the identification of four (Seep A, Seep B, Seep C, and Seep D), likely jurisdictional, streams within the project area, and one ephemeral channel, likely not jurisdictional totaling approximately 200 linear feet of impact. Seep A unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River The Seep A stream is an unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River that is an incised stream bed below east of the Fayetteville Works site in the Cape Fear River floodplain. Most of the base flow within this stream is from groundwater. The Seep A stream is not shown on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping; however, based on the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, this is a perennial stream. This determination was supported by a NCDWQ Stream Identification Form score of 36.52. The upstream drainage of this tributary is 0.7 square miles (USGS 2019). Approximately 70 linear feet of the Seep A stream lies within the study area, of which, approximately 50 linear feet, would be impacted by the flow -through cell. The Seep A stream is likely a WOTUS because of the presence of an OHWM and its connectivity to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally navigable waterway. Seep B unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River The Seep B stream is an unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River that is an incised stream bed east of the Fayetteville Works site in the Cape Fear River floodplain. Most of the base flow within this stream is from groundwater, and there are fringe seep wetlands above the OHWM. The Seep B stream is not shown on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping; however, based on the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, this is a perennial stream. This determination was supported by a NCDWQ Stream Identification Form score of 41.0. The upstream drainage of this tributary is 0.7 square miles (USGS 2019). Approximately 70 linear feet of the Seep B stream lies within the study area, of which, approximately 50 linear feet, would be impacted by the flow -through cell. The Seep B stream is likely a WOTUS because of the presence of an OHWM and its connectivity to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally navigable waterway. Seep B temporary crossing unnamed tributar to o Cape Fear River The Seep B temporary crossing channel is an unnamed ephemeral channel that is a tributary to Cape Fear River east of the Fayetteville Works site in the Cape Fear River floodplain. The ephemeral channel appears to be an old ditch that was excavated in the floodplain to improve drainage. The ditch is in a wetland swale (Seep B Temporary Crossing Wetland), and there is no base flow. The Seep B temporary crossing stream is not shown on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping. Based on the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, this is an ephemeral stream. This determination was supported by a NCDWQ Stream Identification Form score of 11.75. The upstream drainage of this tributary is 0.7 square miles (USGS 2019). Approximately 30 linear feet of the Seep B temporary crossing ephemeral channel lies within the study area, of which, approximately 20 linear feet, would be impacted by the culvert and temporary crossing. The Seep B 2 Per the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, a stream is ephemeral if it obtains a score less than 19. A stream is at least intermittent if it obtains a score greater than or equal to 19. A stream is perennial is it obtains a score greater than or equal to 30. 5 Results temporary crossing ephemeral channel is likely not a WOTUS, because there is no base flow and the feature appears to be an old drainage ditch. The ephemeral channel in a bottomland hardwood wetland swale does have connectivity to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally navigable waterway, and it would likely be regulated as part of a jurisdictional wetland (Seep B Temporary Crossing Wetland). Seep C unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River The Seep C stream is an unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River that is an incised stream bed east of the Fayetteville Works site in the Cape Fear River floodplain. Most of the base flow within this stream is from groundwater, and there are fringe seep wetlands above the OHWM. The Seep B stream is not shown on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping; however, based on the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, this is a perennial stream. This determination was supported by a NCDWQ Stream Identification Form score of 43.5. The upstream drainage of this tributary is 0.7 square miles (USGS 2019). Approximately 70 linear feet of the Seep C stream lies within the study area, of which, approximately 50 linear feet, would be impacted by the flow -through cell. The Seep C stream is likely a WOTUS because of the presence of an OHWM and its connectivity to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally navigable waterway. Seep D unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River The Seep D stream is an unnamed tributary to Cape Fear River that is a deeply incised stream bed southeast of the Fayetteville Works site in the Cape Fear River floodplain. The Seep D stream originates in a seep wetland at the project location, and it appears that most of the base flow within this stream is from groundwater. The Seep D stream is not shown on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping; however, based on the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, this is a perennial stream. This determination was supported by a NCDWQ Stream Identification Form score of 39.5. The upstream drainage of this tributary is 0.7 square miles (USGS 2019). Approximately 60 linear feet of the Seep D stream lies within the study area, of which, approximately 50 linear feet, would be impacted by the flow -through cell. The Seep D stream is likely a WOTUS because of the presence of an OHWM and its connectivity to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally navigable waterway. C0 Conclusion Conclusion Based on the field review, the project area has features that are likely WOTUS. Four streams, totaling 270 linear feet, were identified within the project area. Approximately 200 feet of stream will be directly impacted by the flow -through cell construction. One ephemeral channel that flows through the Seep B Temporary Crossing Wetland was identified, but the area would be regulated as a wetland and not as a stream. Four wetlands, totaling 0.696 acres, were identified in the vicinity of the project area. Approximately 0.082 acres of those wetlands will be directly impacted. Efforts to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to WOTUS will continue through the design phase of the project. If other impacts are unavoidable, mitigation may be required. The final determination of jurisdictional waters is ultimately made by the USACE. This report reflects the analysis and best judgment of the wetland scientists based on the guidelines set forth by the USACE. 7 References References The list of published references and information sources is presented below.
