Dear Mr. Apte:
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) is pleased to provide a review of the site conditions
observed and available documentation pertaining to Waters of the US (WoUS), including
wetlands, at the above -referenced site. This work was performed in general accordance with
our General Services Agreement effective May 10, 2018, in general accordance with applicable
procedures outlined in the Verizon Wireless Scope of Work No. 11 — Wetland Surveying
Services. At your request, below is a summary of information pertaining to WoUS, including
wetlands, at the site. This report was prepared for the exclusive use and reliance of Verizon
Wireless, its parent company, subsidiaries, and affiliates, its counsel, and its lender. Reliance by
any other party (other than a regulatory agency having jurisdiction) is prohibited without the
written authorization of Verizon Wireless and Terracon.
1.0 GENERAL SITE DESCRIPTION
According to the Stanly County Tax Assessor, the parent tract the site consists of an
approximately 19-acre tract of land containing wooded and successional land located at NC
Highway 24, Stanly County, NC. At the time of the reconnaissance, the location of the proposed
compound and proposed access easement consisted of wooded land, agricultural land, clear
cut land, and an existing utility easement. The properties surrounding the site consisted of
woodlands, urban developed land, residential land, and several roads. A Site Topographic
Vicinity Map, depicted on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Locust, NC Quadrangle
(2011), is attached as Figure 1 and an Aerial Photograph is attached as Figure 2. It is our
understanding that the site is proposed for a telecommunications tower development.

Wetland Delineation
Red Bridge Site Stanly County, North Carolina Irerracon
April 27, 2020 Terracon Project No. HL207075
2.0 METHODOLOGY
Terracon initially reviews readily available published resources to preliminarily identify features
indicative of potential WoUS on the site or in the immediate vicinity of the site. A field
investigation is then performed to identify and delineate potential WoUS and wetland areas
utilizing the Routine On -site Determination Method described in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual (USACE Manual) and the USACE April 2012
Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement 2.0 (EMPRS). Potential wetland areas
are located and investigated based on the three wetland parameters of hydrophytic vegetation,
hydrology, and hydric soil indicators.
Hydrophytic vegetation is assessed by identifying plant species and their assigned wetland
indicator rating of obligate (occur in wetlands >99% of the time), facultative wet (occur in
wetlands 67-99% of the time), facultative (occur in wetlands 34-66% of the time), facultative
upland (occur in wetland 1-33% of the time), and upland (occur in wetlands <1% of the time).
The USACE manual defines hydrophytic vegetation as present when at least 50% of the
dominant plant species are rated obligate, facultative wet, or facultative. Hydrology is
determined based on a number of primary indicators (surface water, water marks, drift deposits,
reduced iron presence, oxidized rhizospheres, etc.) and secondary indicators (soil surface
cracks, drainage patterns, crawfish burrows, shallow aquitard, etc.). The USACE manual
defines hydrology as present when at least one primary indicator or two secondary indicators
are identified. Hydric soil is determined by investigating soil features such as color matrix, hue,
and evidence of redox features including indicators such as saturation, stratified layers, gleyed
matrix, mucky surface, organic/peat layers, hydrogen sulfide odor, and evidence of mottling
indicating reduced conditions.
Potential wetland areas identified with all three parameters as described above are located and
delineated by designating boundaries with flagging tape. A data point is collected for each
wetland area on the site detailing conditions as related to hydrophytic vegetation, hydrology,
and hydric soil. The location of the data point is selected at a specific flag number indicative of
conditions throughout the entire wetland area and adjacent upland area. Only one data point is
typically collected for each wetland area on the site. Additional data points may be collected for
atypical situations such as larger wetland areas that may have differing ecological conditions in
certain areas.
Additional potential WoUS including stream channels, drainageways, ponds, and ditches are
located, marked with flagging tape, and investigated to determine a preliminary stream
classification, overall drainage patterns, and potential hydrologic connections to other WoUS
and wetland areas. Potential streams are evaluated according to the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources (DWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams
and Their Origins (Version 4.11, September 2010).

April 27, 2020 Terracon Project No. HL207075
3.0 SOIL DESCRIPTION
According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey for Stanly
County, the soil series types located on the site are Badin Channery silt loam, Tarrus Channery
silt loam, and Tarrus-Urban land complex. A portion of the soil survey map for Stanly County is
depicted on Figure 4. The following is a brief description of the series:
The Badin Channery soil series consists of well drained soils. This soil is located on
narrow, undulating upland ridges that are highly dissected by intermittent drainage ways.
Upper soil layers consist of silty clay loam. Lower soil layers consist of silty clay loam.
The Tarrus Channery soil series consists of strongly sloping and well drained soils. This
soil is located on upland side slopes that are on intermittent drainage ways. Upper soil
layers consist of silty clay loam. Lower soil layers consist of silty clay loam.
Tarrus-Urban land complex soil series consists of areas of Tarrus soil that are gently
sloping and urban land throughout the county. Upper soil layers consist of silt loam.
Lower soil layers consist of silty clay loam.
According to both the State and National hydric soils lists, these soils are defined as non-hydric.
Terracon did not observe evidence of hydric soils on -site during the site reconnaissance, which
is further discussed in Section 5.0.
4.0 NATIONAL WETLAND INVENTORY MAP
The NWI map for the site vicinity indicates one freshwater pond approximately 150 east of the
proposed access easement. The NWI map is Figure 3. Further information is provided in
Section 5.0.
5.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
A field delineation was performed by Rhiannon Graham of Terracon's Raleigh, North Carolina
office on April 15, 2020 using the Routine On -site Determination Method described in the
USACE manual and the USACE EMPRS. The site was described as forested land and clear-
cut/successional land. The site reconnaissance revealed the following conditions in relation to
WoUS:
Stream SA
Stream SA was observed approximately 60 feet north of the proposed tower compound and
approximately 200 feet north of the proposed access easement. The stream was observed as
approximately three feet wide with banks approximately two feet deep.

Red Bridge Site Stanly County, North Carolina Irerracon
April 27, 2020 Terracon Project No. HL207075
Stream SB
Stream SB was observed within the proposed access easement, approximately 800 feet south
of the proposed tower compound. The stream was observed as approximately three feet wide
with banks approximately two feet deep.
Based on the observed characteristics of these streams, it is Terracon's opinion that these
features will likely be considered jurisdictional WoUS. The approximate location of the
delineated features is illustrated on Figure 6. No other wetlands, streams, or potential water
features were observed on the site.
6.0 FEDERAL REGULATORY REVIEW
WoUS, including wetlands, are under the jurisdiction of the USACE. Only the USACE can make
an official Jurisdictional Determination. Impacts to jurisdictional WoUS through development
activities would likely require verification, notification, permitting obligations, and/or mitigation.
Under current federal regulations, impacts of less than 0.5 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and
impacts of less than 300 linear feet of stream channel can be permitted under the appropriate
Nationwide Permit, provided that the appropriate notification is submitted to the USACE.
Compensatory mitigation will likely be required if permitting is necessary; however, may not be
required if wetland impacts are limited to less than 0.10 acres. Cumulative impacts of greater
than 300 linear feet of stream channel or 0.5 acres of wetlands will require an Individual Permit
(IP). USACE regulations also state that cumulative impacts of greater than 0.5 acres of all
jurisdictional waters will now require an IP. An IP will take 10 to 12 months to obtain due to a
high level of regulatory scrutiny. The proposed access easement crosses an intermittent stream
channel. Federal waters permitting may apply if impact to this channel is proposed.
7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Terracon's wetland delineation (Terracon Project No. HL207075) identified two potential
streams. Stream SA is located approximately 60 feet north of the proposed tower compound
and approximately 200 feet north of the proposed access easement. Stream SB was observed
within the proposed access easement, approximately 800 feet south of the proposed tower
compound. It is Terracon's opinion that these features will likely be classified as WoUS. This
delineation represents Terracon's opinion and only the USACE can establish final jurisdiction.
Terracon recommends that site plans be evaluated to determine if construction of the access
easement will impact the stream channel. If a pipe or fill impact is proposed to cross the stream
channel then federal waters permitting may apply. The study area is located in the Yadkin -Pee
Dee River Basin; no state or local riparian buffer regulations will apply.
