RENEWABLE3 Office: (513) 287-2029 Mobile: (513) 509-1514 Windsor Solar Tract B Investigation of Historical Extents of Hydric Soils Bertie County, North Carolina April 2017 Prepared for: Duke Energy Renewables Prepared by: CAROLINA ECOSYSTEMS 3040 NC 42 W Clayton, NC 27520 919-359-1102 Executive Summary The sedimentation and erosion control permit obtained for construction of Windsor Solar Tract B in 2013 depicts a linear wetland running roughly N-S through the central portion of the tract. In 2017, onsite review of the site by the United States Army Corps of Engineers determined that this wetland was significantly impacted by fill activities, most prior or during construction. In addition to this central drainage, the on -site visit also indicated possible presence of another impacted drainage in the southeastern corner of Tract B. Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) was contracted to perform a detailed soil investigation of these two drainages to determine the extent and depth of the original (i.e. circa 2013) hydric soils within these drainages. Using undisturbed soil probe collection procedures, Carolina Ecosystems determined the depth of fill over the original soil surface and found hydric soils in both drainages. Therefore, it is Carolina Ecosystems best professional judgment that jurisdictional wetlands were likely filled in three separate areas, approximately totaling 0.75 acre. Project Understanding Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) was contracted to complete a soil investigation of two (2) drainages at the Windsor Solar Site Tract B (Site) (Figure 1:Vicinity Map and Figure 2:USGS Map). The Site was constructed in the 2013 — 2014 timeframe. The drainages were identified by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources as potentially containing jurisdictional wetlands buried by fill during an on -site review on February 16, 2017. The soil investigation was conducted to determine if jurisdictional wetlands were likely filled in these 2 drainages and the likely former extents of any jurisdictional wetlands found to have been filled. Methodology The two drainages which were the subject of this investigation will be referred to as the central drainage and eastern drainage throughout this report (see Site Map). The central drainage was found to have a wetland shown on a sediment and erosion control (S&EC) permit application. That wetland will be referred to as the ERP wetland throughout this report. The ERP wetland raised questions as to whether jurisdictional wetlands had been filled on the site. During the site review, the USACE and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) also had concerns that the eastern drainage may have contained wetlands which had been filled. In an effort to determine if likely jurisdictional wetlands had been filled, CEI performed a series of procedures to discover the likely extents of jurisdictional wetlands prior to site development. Using property boundary information and contour/LIDAR data, the ERP wetland was georeferenced to the best fit practicable. Since no wetland was previously shown along the eastern drainage, an investigation area was developed using soils, floodplain, LIDAR, and contour data (see Site Map). These datasets were created with data produced prior to the construction of the site so that they may properly represent pre - construction conditions. Following the development of the area of investigation, CEI utilized GPS technology to lay out the ERP wetland on the current ground surface using pin flags. Cross -sections were established as the initial investigation areas. These cross -sections were established to cross near perpendicular of the ERP wetland boundary and were placed on the more accessible corridors within the solar field. Contour and LIDAR data was used to establish cross -sections that should intersect with any buried wetlands along the eastern drainage. Due to the site being an active solar field, the investigation had to work around the solar panels as well as buried cables. In preparation for the investigation, CEI performed soil profile descriptions above and below the investigation area outside the fenced solar field. This work commenced on April 12, 2017 and was done to document the undisturbed native soils and performed by Dr. Vepraskas. These descriptions were performed on shallow pits dug with shovels. The descriptions were collected to aid on determining when the original soil surface was encountered below the fill and is further discussed in the Soil Results section of this report. A geoprobe unit was then utilized to collect undisturbed cores in each cross-section by a certified well driller. Each core was placed in a tray for analysis immediately after collection. Every core was reviewed in detail to determine the depth of fill to the original soil surface and whether it met or did not meet a hydric indicator. Each boring location was collected by GPS and each sample was labeled and photographed. Additionally, at least one profile description of the buried soil was obtained for the hydric and the non- hydric soil found at each cross-section. Following the hydric determination of a core, the next boring location was then established based on the need to move away or toward the likely wetland area. Therefore, boring locations were determined based on all of the information gathered from each core in real time. This gave the ability to close in on the actual buried wetland boundary. Once a boundary was established, a flag was placed at that location and collected using GPS. Following the initial cross-section work, some areas were deemed to need additional information. Therefore, targeted locations between the solar panels were then identified and cores were collected to improve the wetland boundary resolution in those areas. In the case of the eastern drainage, two separate wetlands with a break in between were found to exist. This required many additional cores to determine the ending limits of both wetlands. All cores were analyzed by Dr. Vepraskas on site. Soil Results Soils at the Site Two soils were mapped by the USDA-NRCS within the investigation area: Craven fine sandy loam, and Leaf loam. Both soils have loamy surface layers (A and E horizons) and subsoil layers (Bt or Big horizons) that are clay or silty clay in texture (Figure 3 NRCS Map). The soils differ primarily in the color of their subsoil layers. Subsoils in the Craven soil are brownish yellow with Munsell chromas of 4 to 6 within 20 inches of the soil surface. Subsoil colors in the Leaf soil are gray to grayish brown with Munsell chromas of 2 or less within 20 inches of the surface. In addition to the Craven and Leaf soils, the soil investigation found two other soils that occur in portions of the site. The Wehadkee sandy loam has loamy surface layers with subsoil layers ranging from sandy loam to sandy clay loam. Soil matrix colors in all layers are gray to dark gray with Munsell values of 4 or more and chromas of two or less. The Chewacla sandy loam has surface and subsurface layers with textures similar to those of the Wehadkee, but the color of the Chewacla subsoil is yellowish brown or dark yellowish brown, with Munsell values of 4 or more and chromas of 4 or more, within 20 inches of the surface. Characteristics of Hydric Soils at the Site The USDA has defined the "Hydric Soil Field Indicators" to identify hydric soils across the U.S. Three field indicators were found at the site and they have been named: Depleted Matrix, Umbric Surface, and Depleted Below Dark Surface. The "Depleted Matrix" field indicator is defined as: "A layer that has a depleted matrix [feature] with 60 percent or more chroma of 2 or less and that has a minimum thickness of either: a) 2 inches if the 2 inches is entirely within the upper 6 inches of the soils, or b) 6 inches, starting within 10 inches of the soil surface. The depleted matrix feature requires a Munsell value of 4 or more along with a chroma of 2 or less as the matrix color. Reddish mottles (also called redox concentrations) are also required if the depleted matrix layer is within an A or E horizon, or if the matrix color has Munsell values of 4 with chromas of 1 or 2, or a Munsell value of 5 with a chroma of 2. The "Umbric Surface" (referred to as F13) field indicator is defined as a layer of soil whose matrix color has a Munsell value of 3 or less and chroma 2 or less starting within 6 inches of the soil surface, and this layer is at least 6 inches thick. There must also be a 4 inch thick layer directly below with a matrix chroma of 2 or less. The "Depleted Below Dark Surface" (referred to as All) field indicator is essentially a combination of both the depleted matrix and umbric surface field indicators with some modifications. This field indicator requires the depleted matrix feature start within 12 inches of the surface. Above the depleted matrix the soil matrix must have a Munsell value of 3 or less and chroma 2 or less. Findings from Reconnaissance Soil Borings Made Outside the Filled Area Prior to making any soil borings in the filled area of the site, an examination of soils at reference areas using a hand auger or shovel to expose soil profiles and describe them was made. This was completed in order to identify the soils and their properties that were likely to be found within the filled area. Two borings were made in the unfilled flood plain at the lower end of the eastern drainage. One additional boring was made at the outlet of an old culvert below the central drainage. Three other borings were made along the outside of the fenced area above the central and eastern drainages within approximately 30 feet of the fence. These observations showed that the Wehadkee and Chewacla soils were on and near the flood plain. The Craven and Leaf soils were around the filled area of the site as indicated on the USDA soil map. The Leaf and Wehadkee soils met the Depleted Matrix field indicator and were hydric. The Craven and Chewacla soils met no field indicator and were considered non-hydric. See the Soil Profile Description and Photo appendices for additional information. Findings from Soil Borings Within the Filled Area The average thickness of the fill across the site was determined to be 48 inches. The variation in fill depth ranged from 7 to 171 inches across individual core locations. Fill thickness was determined by measuring the depth from the top of the fill to the top of the original soil surface. The original soil surface below the fill was identified in most cases as the top of the A horizon (natural topsoil), whose color ranged from black to very dark grayish brown. It was visible as a distinct layer of uniform color, ranging from 1 to 10 inches thick, and which was devoid of large wood fragments. In addition, the subsoil layers below the A horizon were carefully examined to ensure they met the color and texture requirements for one of the four soils determined to be present at the site. This method for determining the original soil surface worked well for all but one core location. That core had no distinct A horizon, possibly because it had been scraped off during the filling operation. Profile descriptions made for selected cores showed that Craven and Leaf soils were found at most transect locations. Wehadkee and Chewacla soils were found in the southeastern portion of the site. The most common hydric soil field indicator across the site was the "Depleted Matrix". The "Umbric Surface" field indicator was found in two transects, and the "Depleted Below Dark Surface" indicator was found in one transect. The field indicators were identified initially from the soil profile descriptions. The soil layers meeting the field indicators met the color, thickness, and depths required for the indicators. Depths were measured from the top of the A horizon that was identified at the bottom of the fill. The boundaries of the original wetlands at the site can be identified by the properties of the buried soils that lie beneath the fill. Wetlands at the site contain Leaf and to a lesser extent Wehadkee soils. These soils contain common hydric soil field indicators found in the region and were identified in the buried soils. See the Soil Profile Description and Photo appendices for additional information. Estimation of Historical Jurisdictional Wetland Boundaries A total of 89 soil borings were collected and assessed in detail to determine the likely wetland extents. Buried hydric soils were found that matched the soil profile descriptions of the native soils surrounding the impact area. Therefore, it is believed that the central and eastern drainages of the Site did contain jurisdictional wetlands prior to construction activities. The central drainage contains one (WA) continuous wetland and the eastern drainage contains two smaller wetlands (WB and WC). WB is located at the top of the drainage and WC is located at the bottom of the drainage and located within the floodplain of the Cashie River. To establish the extents of the jurisdictional wetlands, the boring data was first prioritized as primary boundary markers. Between each cross-section, several methods were assessed to determine the most appropriate way to establish a wetland boundary. It was determined that the ERP wetland boundary was mostly accurate with only minor deviations from the boring results. However, the eastern drainage did not have a previous wetland delineation to review so other methods were necessary to supplement the boring data to create a complete wetland boundary map. In areas between borings, a review of contour, LIDAR, and floodplain data was utilized to establish the wetland boundary between borings. The use of the ERP wetland on the central drainage was also analyzed, but several borings did not match up with the ERP wetland so CEI determined that it was likely more accurate to use LIDAR and contour data to shape the wetland boundary in most instances. However, the ERP wetland was used along the northern boundary of the central drainage. This was done as there is little to no fill in this area and a surface level delineation in 2016 showed that a current wetland is larger than the ERP wetland (Figure 4 Site Map). However, based on site conditions during the soil investigation, CEI believes that the 2016 delineation may have been slightly enlarged due to soil being pushed around and the ERP wetland boundary was likely more in line with what existed prior to construction. Since the original surface is not buried in this northern portion of the central drainage, it is not possible to know for sure if the 2016 delineation was correct prior to construction or if the ERP wetland was more accurate, CEI believes that the ERP wetland would be more appropriate since the boring data showed that the ERP wetland was mostly accurate. It is important to note that Carolina Ecosystems could not perform a standard evaluation for wetlands which involves the review of vegetation, hydrology and soils. Due to current site conditions, evaluation of vegetation and hydrology that would have existed in 2013 was not possible. Therefore, wetland vegetation and wetland hydrology were assumed where hydric soils were found. Based on these procedures and the determination of hydric soils, CEI has produced a proposed former jurisdictional wetland extent map. Please note that some portions of the wetlands along the edge of the property boundary are still in existence and would probably not be considered to be in an impacted state. The attached map (Figure 5) is therefore the proposed wetland map for determination of former jurisdictional wetland extents on the Site.
