The residential subdivision plan proposes to impact 0.03 acre of non-riparian wetland for construction of a dry pond. It appears this impact is allowed under Nationwide Permit 18. In addition, the plan proposes to impact protected riparian buffers located in the Neuse River basin, for which approval is sought from the NC Division of Water Quality. In total, the plan would impact 0.03 acre of the Zone 1 buffer and 0.06 acre of the Zone 2 buffer. A jurisdictional determination (JD) has not yet been made by the US Army Corps of Engineers for this project. A JD report is attached to the PCN that contains a map of the delineated wetlands and streams and supporting documentation. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Sincerely, Krissina B.

Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The proposed sewer line (impact 131) was sited perpendicular to Black Creek, and connects to the existing sewer line at a point where it is close to the creek, therefore minimizing the buffer impact. An aerial crossing is proposed to avoid stream impacts. The hiking trail has been designed to meet the existing hiking trail at a point where it is close to the outer edge of the Zone 2 buffer, therefore minimizing buffer impacts. Topography is steep and rolling, making grading and revegetation of the Zone 2 buffer necessary for installation of stormwater devices and building pads for lots. This should provide added stability to the slope to reduce erosion. Lots have been designed so as not to contain wetlands or riparian buffers to prevent impacts. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. A tree protection fence shall be installed at the lot clearance line and shall be maintained until all site work is completed. Silt fence shall be installed around stormwater wetlands and dry detention ponds. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a.

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: ' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). 3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS 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 III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section IILB below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": 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), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow 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.D.4. 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 finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbodya is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional 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 nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.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.C below. 1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: 50 acres Drainage area: 480 acres Average annual rainfall: 46.07 inches Average annual snowfall: 3.9 inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ? Tributary flows directly into TNW. ® Tributary flows through tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are 20-25 river miles from TNW. Project waters are I (or less) river miles from RPW. Project waters are 10-15 aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: Identify flow route to TNW5: Project waters flow to Black Creek to Crabtree Creek to the Neuse River.. Tributary stream order, if known: ' Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and West. 5 Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW. (b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that apply): Tributary is: ® Natural ? Artificial (man-made). Explain: ? Manipulated (man-altered). Explain: Tributary properties with respect to top of bank (estimate): Average width: 10 feet Average depth: 2 feet Average side slopes: Ztl. Primary tributary substrate composition (check all that apply): ? Silts ® Sands ? Concrete ® Cobbles ® Gravel ? Muck ® Bedrock ? Vegetation. Type/% cover: ? Other. Explain: Tributary condition/stability [e.g., highly eroding, sloughing banks]. Explain: stable. Presence of run/riffle/pool complexes. Explain: yes. Tributary geometry: Meandering Tributary gradient (approximate average slope): 2 % (c) Flow: Tributary provides for: Pick List Estimate average number of flow events in review area/year: Pick List Describe flow regime: flow is perennial. Other information on duration and volume: perennial stream. Surface flow is: Confined. Characteristics: Subsurface flow: Pick List. Explain findings: ? Dye (or other) test performed: Tributary has (check all that apply): ® Bed and banks ® OHWMe (check all indicators that apply): ? clear, natural line impressed on the bank ? ® changes in the character of soil ? shelving ? ? vegetation matted down, bent, or absent ® leaf litter disturbed or washed away ? ® sediment deposition ? water staining ? ? other (list): F-1 Discontinuous OHWM.' Explain: If factors other than the OHWM were used to determ ? High Tide Line indicated by: ? oil or scum line along shore objects ? fine shell or debris deposits (foreshore) ? physical markings/characteristics ? tidal gauges ? other (list): the presence of litter and debris destruction of terrestrial vegetation the presence of wrack line sediment sorting scour multiple observed or predicted flow events abrupt change in plant community ine lateral extent of CWA jurisdiction (check all that apply): Mean High Water Mark indicated by: ? survey to available datum; ? physical markings; ? vegetation lines/changes in vegetation types. (iii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.). Explain: Water is clear. Watershed is mostly forested and residential. A sewer line runs parallel to Black Creek. Identify specific pollutants, if known: 'A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break. 'Ibid. (iv) Biological Characteristics. Channel supports (check all that apply): ® Riparian corridor. Characteristics (type, average width): Hardwood forest, >100ft wide. ? Wetland fringe. Characteristics: ? Habitat for: ? Federally Listed species. Explain findings: ? Fish/spawn areas. Explain findings: ? Other environmentally-sensitive species. Explain findings: ?

Flow is from: Wetland to navigable waters. Estimate approximate location of wetland as within the 100 - 500-year Foodplain. (ii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize wetland system (e.g., water color is clear, brown, oil film on surface; water quality; general watershed characteristics; etc.). Explain: Identify specific pollutants, if known: (iii) Biological Characteristics. Wetland supports (check all that apply): ® Riparian buffer. Characteristics (type, average width): ® Vegetation type/percent cover. Explain: ? Habitat for: ? Federally Listed species. Explain findings: ? Fish/spawn areas. Explain findings: ? Other environmentally-sensitive species. Explain findings: ? Aquatic/wildlife diversity. Explain findings: 3. Characteristics of all wetlands adjacent to the tributary (if any) All wetland(s) being considered in the cumulative analysis: Pick List Approximately ( ) acres in total arc being considered in the cumulative analysis. For each wetland, specify the following: Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: C. 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 tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of 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 a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified 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 carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, 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 to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • 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: I. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D: 2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D: 3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D: Wetland is located on floodplain of perennial stream. A pipe under the walkway provides a hydrologic connection between the wetland and stream and would allow the transfer of chemical and biological material.. D. DETERMINATIONS OF JURISDICTIONAL FINDINGS. THE SUBJECT WATERS/WETLANDS ARE (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): 1. TNWs and Adjacent Wetlands. Check all that apply and provide size estimates in review area: ? TNWs: linear feet width (ft), Or, acres. ? Wetlands adjacent to TNWs: acres. 2. RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.

Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.C. Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters within the review area (check all that apply): ? Tributary waters: linear feet width (ft). Other non-wetland waters: acres. Identify type(s) of waters: 4. Wetlands directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. ? Wetlands directly abut RPW and thus are jurisdictional as adjacent wetlands. ? Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow year-round. Provide data and rationale indicating that tributary is perennial in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW: [] Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is seasonal in Section III.B and rationale in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW: Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres. 5. Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. Wetlands that do not directly abut an RPW, but when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisidictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.C. Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 0.06 acres. 6. Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. Wetlands adjacent to such waters, and have when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.C. Provide estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres. 7. Impoundments of jurisdictional waters! As a general rule, the impoundment of a jurisdictional tributary remains jurisdictional. ? Demonstrate that impoundment was created from "waters of the U.S.," or Demonstrate that water meets the criteria for one of the categories presented above (1-6), or Demonstrate that water is isolated with a nexus to commerce (see E below). E. ISOLATED [INTERSTATE OR INTRA-STATE] WATERS, INCLUDING ISOLATED WETLANDS, THE USE, DEGRADATION OR DESTRUCTION OF WHICH COULD AFFECT INTERSTATE COMMERCE, INCLUDING ANY SUCH WATERS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):'s which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes. ? from which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce. ? which are or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce. ? Interstate isolated waters. Explain: ? Other factors. Explain: 'See Footnote # 3. To complete the analysis refer to the key in Section III.D.6 of the Instructional Guidebook. 10 Prior to asserting or declining CWA jurisdiction based solely on this category, Corps Districts will elevate the action to Corps and EPA HQ for review consistent with the process described in the Corps/EPA Memorandum Regarding CWA Ad Jurisdiction Following Rapanos. Identify water body and summarize rationale supporting determination: Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply): ? Tributary waters: linear feet width (ft). ? Other non-wetland waters: acres. Identify type(s) of waters: Wetlands: acres. NON-JURISDICTIONAL WATERS, INCLUDING WETLANDS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): ? If potential wetlands were assessed within the review area, these areas did not meet the criteria in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and/or appropriate Regional Supplements. ? Review area included isolated waters with no substantial nexus to interstate (or foreign) commerce. ? Prior to the Jan 2001 Supreme Court decision in "SWANCC," the review area would have been regulated based solely on the "Migratory Bird Rule" (MBR). ? Waters do not meet the "Significant Nexus" standard, where such a finding is required for jurisdiction. Explain: ? Other: (explain, if not covered above): Provide acreage estimates for non jurisdictional waters in the review area, where the sole potential basis of jurisdiction is the MBR factors (i.e., presence of migratory birds, presence of endangered species, use of water for irrigated agriculture), using best professional judgment (check all that apply): ? Non-wetland waters (i.e., rivers, streams): linear feet width (ft). ? Lakes/ponds: acres. ? Other non-wetland waters: acres. List type of aquatic resource: Wetlands: acres. Provide acreage estimates for non jurisdictional waters in the review area that do not meet the "Significant Nexus" standard, where such a finding is required for jurisdiction (check all that apply): ?
