Suite 202 Washington, North Carolina 27889 Subject: Greenville Utilities Raw Water Intake Improvements Wetland Delineation Dear Mr. Pelletier, 134891 On behalf of Greenville Utilities, Brown and Caldwell performed the necessary field work to delineate jurisdictional wetlands within the confirmation limits for the proposed raw water intake structure. This delineation report provides the required documentation for jurisdictional boundary determinations in conformance with Section 404 of the Clean- Water Act. The following sections summarize the procedures and methods followed and the results from completing these tasks. pw� 4"O a d- Scientists from Brown and Caldwell (BC) completed a wetland field survey on June 18, 2008. A project Vicinity Map is provided in Figure 1. In order to complete the wetland delineation, the following activities were performed: Prior to field work, data from the following sources were obtained to determine the location of potential wetlands: ■ USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Maps (Figure 2) ■ Aerial Photograph (Figure 3) • United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Web Soil Survey • United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory m hiesources Conservation I►!1>a-. A Natural Resources Conservation Service.(NRCS) soil map (Figure 4) showing the different soil types mapped within the confirmation limits has been included. Inventory A National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map (Figure 5) showing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife estimation of the extent of wetlands in the project area has been included. \\6cra101\projectslC=eaville Ublities\134891 Raw Water Intake\ 400 Permitting\-300 401-404 Wetlands Ppndts\Wetland Repon\lD Report 08012008.doc ' E n v i r o n m e n t a l E n !! i n e e r t 6- C 0 n s u 1 t a n Mr. Pelletier August 1, 2008 Page 2 Brown and Caldwell used this map as a general reference for initiating the field verification of wetlands within the confirmation.limits. Field Method Primary guidance for the investigation of wetland resources was the. United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). Wetlands ,are defined as those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions (Environmental Laboratory, 1.987). The presence of established hydrophytic vegetation communities, hydric soils and surface or near -surface hydrology were used' to delineate wetland resources. Wetland areas were flagged with surveyors flagging. Flags were located to NC Class A survey standards by CH Engineering. Results Figure 6 depicts the location of a large forested wetland within the projects confirmation limits; the boundaries of this wetland extend beyond the defined confirmation limits. The forested community is dominated by mature bald cypress trees (Taxodium distichum) and river birch (Betula 1Vigra); the understory community was sparse in most areas and composed of sedges '(Carex sp.) and other herbaceous wetland vegetation including false nettle (Boehemeria cylindrical and Polygonum sp.). Several hydrological indicators were observed -including standing water, drainage patterns, tree water marks and oxidized rhizopheres. The soils are reduced (low chrome colors) and saturated; these are characteristics of hydric soils. Photographs of the wetland- can be found in Attachment C. Jurisdictional fttormination (JD) Dorm The Approved Jurisdictional Determination Form for the delineated wetland is included in the attachment B. The JD form was only completed for the wetland area within the confirmation limits.

RUA SECTION 10 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION. There -Are no "navigable waters of the U.S." within Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 329) in the review area. [Required) El Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. ❑ Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or maybe susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce. Explain: B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION. There Are "waters ofthe U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required] 1. Waters of the U.S. a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply): TNWs, including territorial seas Wetlands adjacent to TNWs Relatively permanent-waters2 (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs Wetlands adjacent to burnot directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Impoundments of jurisdictional waters ❑ Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area: Non -wetland waters: linear feet: width (it) and/or acres. Wetlands: acres. c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: 1987 Delineation Manual Elevation of established OHWM (if known): Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3 Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: 1 Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. r For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TN W and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally!' fe.g., typically 3 months). Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. SE4' 'ION A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource Is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section UI.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a metland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section HIM below. I. TNW Identify TNW: Haw River. Summarize rationale supporting determination: The Haw River is listed as a traditional navigable water by the state of North Carolina. 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": The wetland area is located in an historical river channel adjacent to the Haw River. B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), Le: tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous now at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section III.DA. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a'significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus flndiag is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additiohal data to:determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of Its adjacent wetlands. This significant he evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area cationIdentitea to the JD request is the tributary, or Its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III request for the tributary, Section III B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section UI.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below. I.

SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the folio' tributary to determine If they slgniflcautly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity Of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tribute wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biolo ical int ri of a tributary, in combination with all Of Its adjacent Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency T the flow Of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by -the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is. not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of's floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identifled In the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? p ty Y p°ll° is or floodwaters to • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support other species, such as feeding, nesting,s spawning pport functions for fish and • P pg, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity ttransfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? o • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1.

One vicinity/location map One copy of county tax map depicting site One copy of quadrangle map depicting site (Greenville N)V) One copy of soils map for site (Sheet 34) One copy of owner consent form Copies of field data forms One copy of field sketch depicting wetland lines The site being evaluated is a portion of the Greenville Utilities Commission Water Treatment Plant property known as Pitt County Tax Parcel 20440 and is an area. approximately 150' x 250' located between the Tar River and the raw water pump station building. The approximate UTM coordinates for the area being evaluated are N = 3946.076 meters and E _ 0282.533 meters, My delineation revealed a wetland area between the building and the river, the northeast boundary of which is marked by flags Al through Al2. The southwest boundary of the wetlands area is marked by flags B 1 through B8. The boundary of Section 10 Waters of the U.S. was also delineated along the mean high water mark of the Tar River by flags C 1 through C5. When we met on site on December 13th, 2007, you concurred with these findings. It is the desire of Greenville Utilities Commission to install a new set of water intake pipes from within the river to the raw water pump station building, said new pipes to be tentatively located southeasterly of the existing set of pipes, and to perform maintenance on the 020.67-WETL4NDs.

A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, , T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing. (Formerly "C1" candidate species.) BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below. FSC=Federal Species of Concern. FSC is an informal term. It is not defined in the federal Endangered Species Act. In North Carolina, the Asheville and Raleigh Field Offices of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) define Federal Species of Concern as those species that appear to be in decline or otherwise in of conservation and are under consideration for listing or for which there is insufficient information to need support listing at this time.Subsumed under the term "FSC" are all species petitioned by outside parties and other selected focal species identified in Service strategic plans, State Wildlife Action Plans, or Natural Heritage Program Lists. T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below. EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential). Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land. P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or "PT" respectively. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act BGPA : In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de -listed) from the Federal, List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provide statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle s a Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, ldowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles.

The T(S/A) designation bans h the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern Population. The T(S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, Part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. Definitions of Record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. if 3 7/1/2015 12:56 PM Pitt County Endangered Species, Threatened Species,Federal Species of... http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/pitt.html Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat. Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. of 3 7/1/2015 12:56 PM k� |\k |\ƒ})) Ef/+ }!f!7) \ §|/1�22■§t]�y !!mw «f &>lom oomS| =R&3IEIRl 2§ �) ))@§��@ID �\ -#,OZ («©! !2}!!!!/J!§,!a } - �■!}})!,\)�!§k \) ■§l.E�=22a,|■, f)!!!! ! !!!!! ao!!&!_! §i«!«2! $$!)! 22!§ƒ!■?7;;l�� w , 't,'tr.: !
