SUBJECT: Request for Jurisdictional Determination and Findings Report
Project DCX in Zebulon, NC
Wake County, North Carolina
STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates Project No. 2515066
Dear Mr. Shern:
On behalf of Branch Bank and Trust Company, STV/Ralph Whitehead Associates (STV/RWA)
is requesting written verification from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) of the location
and extent of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. in the project study area. An Agent Certification of
Authorization Form and a Request for Jurisdictional Determination Form are enclosed in
Attachment A and Attachment B, respectively. The proposed project study area is located south
of the intersection of Green Pace Road and NC 96 (N. Arendell Avenue) and north of US 64
(Knightdale Bypass) in the town of Zebulon, North Carolina (Attachment A - Figure 1).
Based on the Wake County, NC Geographic Information System (GIS) data, 2005
orthophotography and verified by field review, the project study area encompasses
approximately 49 acres and consists primarily of former agricultural fields, agricultural ponds,
and mixed pine/hardwood forest. Adjacent to the site are commercial properties to the east
along NC 96 (N. Arendell Avenue), undeveloped woodland to the south and west, and
commercial and residential development to the north.
Background and Methodology
STV/RWA Senior Environmental Specialist Brandon J. Phillips, C.H.M.M. and Environmental
Scientists Matt Dewitt and Tony Nardo conducted a review of the subject site on March 30, 31,
and April 1, 2011. Prior to the site visit, STV/RWA reviewed various resources, including U.S.
Geological Survey (USES) topographic quadrangle maps (Attachment A - Figure 2), National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI) mapping, aerial photography, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Series Data (Attachment A - Figure 3),
and the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina (Attachment A - Figure 4) to help
identify potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
Jurisdictional waters are defined by 33 CFR 328.3(b) and protected by Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Potential jurisdictional wetlands in the project study area (PSA)
were delineated using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On-Site
an employee-owned company providing quality service since 1912
Request for Jurisdictional Determination April 14, 2011
Project DCX in Zebulon, NC
Determination Method as defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation
Manual', as wel as the Draft Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement. Potential
jurisdictional stream channels were delineated and classified according to recent North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)2 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Identification
Forms and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheets are included in Attachment D.
Routine Wetland Determination Data Forms, representing potential jurisdictional wetland areas
are included in Attachment E. The Approved Jurisdictional Determination (Rapanos) Form is
included in Attachment F. Representative photographs of the potential jurisdictional features
located in the PSA are included in Attachment G.
Prior to fieldwork, the following references were reviewed to identify possible waters of the U.S.,
including wetland areas:
• U.S. Geological Service (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle maps {Zebulon, NC (1990)1
• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map (Zebulon,
NC)
• U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service (SCS) (now known as
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)) Soil Survey of Wake County, NC (1970)
• NRCS Soil Series Data, 2009
• Wake County, NC GIS Data, 2005 Orthophotography
The USGS map depicts the three on-site ponds and the stream connecting and providing
drainage for the ponds, as 'blue line' features. The USDA Soil Survey depicts four intermittent
streams in other locations of the site. The USFWS NWI map does not identify any streams or
wetlands within the PSA, but does depict two ponds.
The proposed Project DCX in Zebuon is located entirely within the northern outer Piedmont
Physiographic Province of North Carolina, which is characterized by broad, gently rolling
interstream areas and by steeper slopes along drainageways. Based on topographic mapping
(Attachment C - Figure 2), elevations in the PSA range from approximately 330 feet above
National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) to 290 feet NGVD. The highest elevations in the PSA
are located near the intersection of N. Arendell Avenue and Green Pace Road. The lowest
elevations in the PSA are located in the southwest corner.
According to the USDA SCS, the PSA contains six interspersed soil types: Appling sandy loam,
2 to 6 percent slopes (ApB); Appling sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, moderately eroded
(ApB2); Appling sandy loam, 6 to 10 percent slopes, moderately eroded (ApC2); Colfax sandy
loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes (Cn); Durham loamy sand, 2 to 6 percent slopes (DuB); and
Mantachie sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, rarely flooded (Me) (Attachment C - Figure 4).
Colfax sandy loam is the only soil considered to be hydric due to inclusions of the Weehadkee,
undrained and the Worsham, undrained soil types.

Project DCX in Zebulon, NC
The proposed PSA is located in the Neuse River drainage basin. The PSA is located within the
Upper Neuse Watershed. The major stream in the project region (Little River) generally flows in
a southerly direction. The Hydrologic Unit Code 8 (HUC 8) for the Upper Neuse Watershed is
03020201.
Findings of Field Review
The results of the on-site field review conducted by STV/RWA environmental scientists indicate
that potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S. that are located within the project study area
(PSA) include five streams that were determined to be relatively permanent waters (RPW's B, F,
G, H, and 1), two ponds (Ponds C and D), and nine wetland areas (Wetlands A, B, D, E, F, G, H,
I and J); see Attachment A - Figure 5. Potential jurisdictional stream, pond and wetland
boundaries were delineated and flagged in the field with either orange pin flags or blue and
white striped tape. The boundaries were approximated with a Trimble GeoXH hand-held Global
Positioning System (GPS) unit capable of subfoot accuracy and mapped using ArcGIS 9.3
software. Representative photographs of the potentially jurisdictional features are included in
Attachment G. A brief description of these potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S. follows.
WPtlanrls
Linear Wetland A begins at a stormwater pipe outfall that discharges under N. Arendell Avenue
and enters the northeast portion of the PSA (Attachment G - Photograph 1). This linear wetland
is approximately 0.13 acre and is located within a stormwater drainage ditch that has hydric
soils, saturated soil conditions, and is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation including soft rush
(Juncus effusus), woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus) and broom-sedge (Andropogon virginicus).
Linear Wetland A lacks a defined bed and bank as well as an ordinary high water mark, so this
feature was concluded to be a wetland rather than a stream. Linear Wetland A extends for
approximately 865 feet to the central portion of the PSA to Wetland E, and its drainage is
conveyed through culvert pipes in two areas where former farm roads cross over the feature.
This feature is depicted as a stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County (Attachment A -
Figure 4).
Linear Wetland B begins at a twin stormwater pipe outfall that discharges under N. Arendell
Avenue and enters the eastern portion of the PSA (Attachment G - Photograph 2). This linear
wetland is approximately 0.07 acre and is located within a shallow stormwater drainage ditch
that has hydric soils, saturated soil conditions and is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation
including soft rush, sedges (Carex spp.) and smartweeds (Polygonum spp.). Linear Wetland B
lacks a defined bed and bank as well as an ordinary high water mark, so this feature was
concluded to be a wetland rather than a stream. Linear Wetland B extends for approximately
356 feet to Pond C. This feature is depicted as a stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake
County (Attachment A - Figure 4).
Forested Wetland D is located east of and adjacent to Pond D, and surrounds the upland island
that is located on the eastern side of Pond D (Attachment G - Photograph 3). This wetland is
approximately 0.33 acre in size and is dominated by willow (Salix sp.) sedges and smartweeds.
A small stormwater pipe outfall is located at the eastern end of the wetland area, and
discharges stormwater to Wetland D from an off-site parking lot located along N. Arendell
Avenue. Hydric soils, saturated soil conditions, and areas of inundation were found in this
Page 3

wetland during the field review. This feature is not depicted on the USGS topographic
quadrangle map or the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County.
Scrub/shrub Wetland E is located in the west central portion of the PSA downstream of Ponds C
and D, Seasonal RPW B, and Linear Wetland A (Attachment G - Photograph 4). Wetland E is
approximately 2.03 acres in size, has hydric soils, saturated soil conditions, areas of inundation,
and is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation including young willow, sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua) soft rush, sedges, and smartweeds (Attachment G - Photograph 5). Wetland E
appears to have formerly been a pond that has been drained by the recent excavation of a
channel through the earthen dam on the western side of Wetland E where it connects to
Wetland F. The condition of the currently visible former shoreline of the pond, aerial
photography from 2005, and the estimated age of the vegetation within Wetland E indicate that
the former pond was drained within the last four or five years. This feature is depicted on the
USGS topographic quadrangle map and the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County as an open
water pond (Attachment A - Figures 2 and 4).
Forested Wetland F is located in the southwest portion of the PSA downstream of Wetland E
and Seasonal RPW F, and surrounds Perennial RPW F (Attachment G - Photograph 6).
Wetland F is approximately 0.36 acre in size, has hydric soils, saturated soil conditions, and is
dominated by hydrophytic vegetation including sweetgum, red maple (Acer rubrum), and giant
cane (Arundinaria gigantea). Wetland F extends off-site to the west. This feature is depicted as
a stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County (Attachment A - Figure 4).
Scrub-shrub/emergent Wetland G begins at a stormwater pipe outfall that discharges from
Green Pace Road and enters the northwest portion of the PSA (Attachment G - Photographs 7
and 8). This wetland begins within a drainage ditch that exhibited hydric soils and saturated soil
conditions. Wetland G lacks a defined bed and bank as well as an ordinary high water mark, so
this feature was concluded to be a wetland rather than a stream. Wetland G widens into an
emergent wetland and extends south for approximately 836 feet before it changes to Seasonal
RPW G at a headcut located in the southwest portion of the PSA. Wetland G is approximately
0.67 acre in size, and is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation including soft rush, sedge, iris (Iris
sp.) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). This feature is depicted as a stream on the USDA
Soil Survey of Wake County (Attachment A - Figure 4).
Forested Wetland H is located adjacent to the central stretch of Seasonal RPW H in the
southern portion of the site (Attachment G - Photograph 9). Wetland H is approximately 0.30
acre in size, and is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation including red maple and giant cane.
Hydric soils and saturated conditions were found in this wetland during the field review. This
feature is depicted as a stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County (Attachment A -
Figure 4).
Forested Wetland I is located adjacent to the central stretch of Perennial RPW I in the southern
portion of the site (Attachment G - Photograph 10). Wetland I is the smallest of the on-site
wetlands, approximately 0.03 acre in size, and is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation including
red maple and giant cane. Hydric soils and saturated conditions were found in this wetland
during the field review. This feature is depicted as a stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake
County (Attachment A - Figure 4).
Scrub-shrub/emergent Wetland J is located in the southwest portion of the PSA downstream of
Seasonal RPW G (Attachment G - Photograph 11). Wetland J is approximately 0.21 acre in
Page 4

size, has hydric soils, saturated soil conditions, and is dominated by hydrophytic vegetation
including sweetgum, soft rush, sedge, switchgrass and giant cane. Wetland J extends off-site to
the west. This feature is not depicted on the USGS topographic quadrangle map or the USDA
Soil Survey of Wake County.
More information on the individual wetland parameters can be found on the Wetland
Determination Data Forms included in Attachment E.
Open Waters
Open Water Pond C is located in the east central portion of the site at the end of Linear Wetland
B (Attachment G - Photograph 12). Pond C is approximately 0.22 acre in size and appears to
have been a former agriculture pond used for irrigation. Pond C was inundated at the time of the
field review. A new stormwater outfall with a geotextile lined ditch has been constructed on the
site, extending from new off-site development that is ongoing along N. Arendell Avenue, and
discharges to Pond C. Pond C is drained by Seasonal RPW B to Pond D. This feature is
depicted on the USGS topographic quadrangle map and the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County
as an open water pond (Attachment A - Figures 2 and 4).
Open Water Pond D is located in the east central portion of the site, south of Pond C and at the
outlet end of Seasonal RPW B (Attachment G - Photograph 13). Pond D is approximately 0.75
acre in size and appears to have been a former agriculture pond used for irrigation. Pond D was
inundated at the time of the field review. Pond D is drained by Seasonal RPW B to Wetland E.
This feature is depicted on the USGS topographic quadrangle map and the USDA Soil Survey
of Wake County as an open water pond (Attachment A - Figures 2 and 4).
Streams
Seasonal RPW B is located at the connections between Pond C and Pond D, and Pond D and
Wetland E (Attachment G - Photographs 14 and 15). Seasonal RPW B is approximately 172
linear feet in length and appears to have been created by the excavation of channels through
the earthen dam located between Pond C and Pond D, and the earthen dam located between
Pond D and Wetland E. Seasonal RPW B has a defined bed and bank and an ordinary high
water mark and had moderate flow at the time of the field review. At one point, Seasonal RPW
B is conveyed through a culvert pipe where a former farm road crosses over the RPW before
draining into Wetland E. This feature is depicted on the USGS topographic quadrangle map and
the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County as a stream (Attachment A - Figures 2 and 4).
Seasonal RPW F is located at the western outlet of Wetland E and was created by the
excavation of a channel through the earthen dam on the western side of the former pond that is
now scrub/shrub Wetland E (Attachment G - Photograph 16). Seasonal RPW F has a defined
bed and bank and an ordinary high water mark, and was conveying moderate flow at the time of
the field review. Seasonal RPW F is approximately 108 linear feet in length and drains into
Forested Wetland F, where it changes to Perennial RPW F at a headcut located at the outlet to
Wetland F. This feature is depicted on the USGS topographic quadrangle map and the USDA
Soil Survey of Wake County as a stream (Attachment A - Figures 2 and 4).
Perennial RPW F is located in the western outlet of Wetland E and begins at a headcut
demarcating the terminus of Seasonal RPW F. Perennial RPW F flows southwest through
Wetland F (Attachment G - Photograph 6) before flowing off-site in the southwestern portion of
Page 5

the site. Perennial RPW F is approximately 172 linear feet in length, has a defined bed and
bank and ordinary high water mark, was conveying moderate flow at the time of the field review,
and supports a population of mosquito fish (Gambusia sp.). This feature is depicted on the
USGS topographic quadrangle map and the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County as a stream
(Attachment A - Figures 2 and 4).
Seasonal RPW G is located at the southern end of Linear Wetland G, south of Wetland G and
north of Wetland F. Seasonal RPW G is approximately 262 linear feet in length (Attachment G -
Photograph 17) and drains into Forested Wetland F, where it confluences with Perennial RPW
F. Seasonal RPW G has a defined bed and bank and an ordinary high water mark, and was
conveying low flow at the time of the field review. This feature is depicted as a stream on the
USDA Soil Survey of Wake County (Attachment A - Figure 4).
Seasonal RPW H is located in the southern portion of the site, and enters the site from the east
(Attachment G - Photograph 18). Seasonal RPW H is approximately 805 linear feet and drains
west through the forested southern portion of the site before it confluences with Seasonal RPW
I to form Perennial RPW I in the southwest portion of the site. Seasonal RPW H has a defined
bed and bank and an ordinary high water mark, and was conveying moderate flow at the time of
the field review. This feature is depicted as a stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County
(Attachment A - Figure 4).
Seasonal RPW I is located in the southern portion of the site, and enters the site from the south
(Attachment B - Photograph 19). Seasonal RPW I is approximately 192 linear feet and drains
west through the forested southern portion of the site before it confluences with Seasonal RPW
H to form Perennial RPW I in the southwest portion of the site. Seasonal RPW I has a defined
bed and bank and an ordinary high water mark, and was conveying low flow at the time of the
field review. This feature is depicted as a stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County
(Attachment A - Figure 4).
Perennial RPW I begins at the confluence of Seasonal RPW I and Seasonal RPW H in the
southwest portion of the site. Perennial RPW I flows northwest from the confluence of Seasonal
RPW I and Seasonal RPW H (Attachment G - Photograph 20) before turning west and draining
off-site. Perennial RPW I is approximately 312 linear feet in length and supports a population of
mosquito fish. Perennial RPW I has a defined bed and bank and an ordinary high water mark,
and was conveying moderate flow at the time of the field review. This feature is depicted as a
stream on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County (Attachment A - Figure 4).

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each
characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the
worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or
weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character
of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more
continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of
100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each
characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the
worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or
weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character
of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more
continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of
100 representing a stream of the highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 59 Comments: Perennial RPW

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.I 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 III.B 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 waterbody4 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 off'site. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below.

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 finctions 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:
1. 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 f'or 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:
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.
Z Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial: Perennial RPW's F and I were determined to be perennial RPW's based on the presence of an OHWM,,
well-defined bed and bank, continuous flow and/or inundation, the presence of aquatic life, including fish, and are depicted as
streams on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County. Perennial RPW F is also depicted on the USGS topographic quadrangle
as a solid blue-line stream. Perennial RPW's F and I drain to a pond southwest of the project study area. This pond drains to
Little River, a perennial RPW, which drains to the Neuse River, a Traditional Navigable Water (TNW).
® Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year) are
jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.B. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows
seasonally: Seasonal RPW's B, F, G, H, and I were determined to be seasonal RPWs based on a well-defined bed and bank,
sinuosity, but reduced or lack or flow after a heavy rain event. Seasonal RPW's B, F, and G drain to Perennial RPW F.
Seasonal RPW's H and I drain to Perennial RPW f. Perennial RPW's F and I drain to a pond southwest of the project study
area. This pond drains to Little River, a perennial RPW, which drains to the Neuse River, a Traditional Navigable Water
(TNW ).
Provide estimates forjurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply):
® Tributary waters: Seasonal RPW B = 172 linear feet: approximate 4 width (ft); Seasonal RPW F = 108 linear feet:
approximate 4 width (ft); Perennial RPW F = 172 linear feet: approximate 7 width (ft); Seasonal RPW G = 262 linear feet;
approximate 4 width (ft); Seasonal RPW H = 805 linear feet: approximate 5 width (ft); Seasonal RPW I = 192 linear feet:
approximate 4 width (ft); Perennial RPW 1 = 312 linear feet 7 width (ft).
? Other non-wetland waters: Pond C = 0.22 acre; Pond D = 0.75 acres.
Identify type(s) of waters: Pond.
3. Non-RPWss that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
? Waterbody that is not a TNW or an RPW, but flows directly or indirectly into a TNW, and it has a significant nexus with a
TNW is jurisdictional. 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: The abutting status of Wetlands F (0.36 Ac.) and I (0.03 Ac.) were determined through
field reconnaisance, observed drainage patterns, drift lines, water marks, and the presence of all three wetland
parameters up to the stream channel.
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is
seasonal in Section II13 and rationale in Section I1I.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly
abutting an RPW: The abutting status of Wetlands A (0.13 Ac.), B (0.07 Ac.), E (2.03 Ac.), G (0.67 Ac.), and H (0.30
Ac.) were determined through field reconnaisance, observed drainage patterns, drift lines, water marks, and the presence
of all three wetland parameters up to the stream channel.
Provide acreage estimates forjurisdictional 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 IILC.
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 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.9
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).
'See Footnote # 3.

? Other factors. Explain:
Identify water body and summarize rationale supporting determination:
Provide estimates fojurisdictional 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.
F. 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/o• 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 forjurisdiction. Explain:
? Other: (explain, if not covered above):
Provide acreage estimates for non jurisdictional waters in the review area, where the sole potential basis ofjurisdiction is the MBR
factor (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.

B. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO SUPPORT JD: The limits of potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S., i.e., Wetland A, Wetland B,
Wetland D, Wetland E, Wetland F, Wetland G, Wetland H, Wetland I, Wetland J, Pond C, Pond D, Seasonal RPW's B, F, G, H, I and
Perennial RPW's F and I (Attachment C - Approximate Waters of the U.S. and Wetlands Boundary Map) were delineated (flagged) and the
boundaries approximated using a Trimble GeoXH hand-held GPS unit capable of subfoot accuracy. Seasonal RPW's B, F, G, H, and I were
determined to be seasonal RPWs based on a well-defined bed and bank, sinuosity, but reduced or lack or flow after a heavy rain event.
Ponds C and D were innundated and supported aquatic life and waterfowl and drain to Wetland E via Seasonal RPW B. Seasonal RPW's B,
F, and G eventually drain to Perennial RPW F. Seasonal RPW's H and I drain to Perennial RPW 1. Perennial RPW's F and I were determined
to be perennial RPW's based on the presence of an OHWM, well-defined bed and bank, continuous flow and/or inundation, the presence of
aquatic life, including fish, and are depicted as streams on the USDA Soil Survey of Wake County. Perennial RPW F is also depicted on the
USGS topographic quadrangle as a solid blue-line stream. Perennial RPW's F and I drain to a pond southwest of the project study area. This
off-site pond drains to the Little River, a perennial RPW, via an unnamed tributary. The Little River, in turn, drains to the Neuse River, a
Traditional Navigable Water (TNW).
