Dear Mr. McGovern:
Pilot Environmental, Inc. (Pilot) is pleased to submit this report of the wetland delineation for the
approximate 752-acre tract located east and west of Country Club Road in Yadkinville, Yadkin
County, North Carolina.
Background
Wetlands are defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "those areas that are inundated or saturated
by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal
circumstances, do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions." In order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology indicators must be present.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials into waters
of the United States (lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc.), including wetlands. Waters of the United
States include the territorial seas, navigable coastal and inland lakes, rivers and streams,
intermittent streams, and wetlands. The EPA and the USACE jointly administer the Section 404
program. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act grants each state the authority to approve,
condition, or deny any Federal permits that could result in a discharge to State waters.
Jurisdictional features include wetlands, open waters, ponds, lakes, and perennial/intermittent
streams. Jurisdictional features are regulated by the USACE and North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality -Division of Water Resources (NCDEQ-DWR). Permits are required priorto
impacting any jurisdictional feature. The type of permit required is specific to the type, location,
and amount of impacts. Stormwater management plans and/or mitigation for proposed impacts
could be a requirement of the permit approval process.

The findings and conclusions found in this report are our opinions based on field conditions
encountered at the time of the site visit. Changes including, but not limited to, regulations,
weather, timber/vegetation removal, and usage/development of the site or nearby properties
can alter the findings and opinions presented in this report. We recommend that this report only
be used for preliminary planning purposes. Agency verifications, followed by a survey of
jurisdictional features, are required to determine the exact extent and locations of jurisdictional
features and are valid for a period of up to five years following issuance of a USACE Jurisdictional
Determination (JD) and/or NCDEQ-DWR Site Determination Letter.
Global Positioning System (GPS) location of jurisdictional features has been conducted by Pilot
personnel in the field utilizing a Trimble handheld GPS unit capable of sub -meter accuracy. Field
GPS data has been post -processed by Pilot personnel and digitally provided to the client for
assistance with preliminary planning. Pilot expresses no warranties or liabilities to the accuracy
of GPS locations and/or provided GPS data.
Scope of Services
Pilot was contracted to perform a wetland delineation for the approximate 752-acre tract located
east and west of Country Club Road in Yadkinville, Yadkin County, North Carolina. The site
consists of portions or the entirety of sixteen parcels identified by the Yadkin County
Geographical Information System (GIS) as Parcel Identification Numbers (PINS) 5818153663,
581800328577, 581800140879, 581800049419, 581800048150,581800038619, 580800926184,
5818114449, 581800218450, 5808916149, 581700283931, 581700174078, 581700381065,
581700372302, 581700362604, and 581700367810. The site is being evaluated for proposed
development with a solar farm. The scope of services included a delineation of jurisdictional
features (streams, wetlands, and other surface waters) located on the site. The site boundarywas
not marked at the time of our field delineation. The site boundary was provided in a Google Earth
digital file.
Pilot was also contracted to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and a Limited
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Review in conjunction with the wetland delineation.
Details of these investigations are included in separate reports.
Literature Review
We reviewed the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Soil Survey of Yadkin County, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).

Pilot also reviewed the last published USDA Soil Survey of Yadkin County (Drawing 2A). The map
depicts North Deep Creek and unnamed tributaries to North Deep Creek on the site in locations
generally consistent with the blue line streams shown on the USGS topographic map. Additional
streams are shown in drainage swales throughout the site.

• The USFWS NWI Map (Drawing 3) depicts ponds and riverine features on the site, generally
consistent with the features shown on the USGS topographic map.
• The FEMA FIRM (Drawing 4) identifies the areas along North Deep Creek and an unnamed
tributary to North Deep Creek crossing the central portion of the site within the 100-year
floodplain. The remainder of the site is located in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard.
Field Delineation
Pilot personnel conducted the field delineation of Tract A July 27-28, 2018; Tract B December 26,
2018 through January 9, 2019; and Tract C October 24, 2019. The site contains agricultural fields
and wooded land. Several agricultural buildings and residences are located on the eastern and
western portions of the site. Overhead powerlines and the associated utility easement cross the
central portion of the site.
Three ponds are located on the central portion of the site. The ponds are hydrologically
connected to up and downgradient waters and are considered jurisdictional features by the
USACE. The ordinary high water mark of the ponds were geolocated with a Trimble handheld GPS
unit.
Streams are located throughout the site. The majority of the streams have well-defined, sinuous
channels with silt, sand, and cobble substrate; evidence of an ordinary high water mark;
moderate baseflow; and aquatic fauna. Based on our observations and the stream
characteristics, these streams are perennial. Streams ISA, ISB, ISF, ISG, and CSB exhibited weaker
stream characteristics and did not contain flowing water during our site visits. Based on our
observations and the stream characteristics, these streams are intermittent. The stream origins,
confluences, and intersections with site boundaries and culverts were marked in the field with
blue and white striped surveyor flagging. The streams were geolocated with a Trimble handheld
GPS unit.
Wetlands are located adjacent to and upgradient of the pond on the eastern portion of the site
and the streams in several areas. The wetlands are separated from surrounding uplands by
topographic, vegetative, and/or soil breaks. USACE Wetland Determination Data Forms,
supporting our opinions, are included as attachments. The wetland boundaries were marked in
the field with red and white striped surveyor flagging and geolocated with a Trimble handheld
GPS unit.

Watershed Classification/Buffer Requirements
The site is located in the Yadkin River Basin. The NCDEQ-DWR has classified North Deep Creek,
the site's receiving waters, as Class C waters. In accordance with NCAC 02B .0200, the streams
on the site are not subject to state regulated riparian buffers.
Based on a review of the Yadkin County Code of Ordinances and correspondence with the Yadkin
County Planning and Development Department, Yadkin County surface water buffer
requirements are generally consistent with the state regulations. The NCDEQ-DWR Interactive
Stormwater Map shows the site in an area identified as "No Program Identified; Verify with local
authority". Consultation with the local planning/zoning authority is recommended to determine
if the proposed development requires development buffers/setbacks from surface waters for
compliance with state and local stormwater requirements.
Agency Verification
The delineation of Tracts A and B has been verified by the USACE (JD SAW-2019-00099, dated
March 12, 2019). The delineation of Tract C was verified in the field by Ms. Brandee Boggs with
the USACE on January 23, 2020. Ms. Boggs indicated the USACE will issue a preliminary JD based
on the features as depicted on the attached Drawings 5 through 5.4. Drawings 5 through 5.4 are
intended for preliminary planning purposes. We understand that a survey will be completed to
determine the exact extent and locations of delineated features. A copy of the JD will be provided
as a separate attachment upon receipt from the USACE.
