Dear Mr. McMullen:
Subject: Preliminary On-site Waters of the United States Evaluation, Dan River
Game Land Access, Rockingham County, NC
Duke Project Group LS2019DRGLAA
CEC Project 195-507
This report summarizes the results of CEC’s desktop and on-site Preliminary Waters of the United
State (WoUS) evaluation conducted for Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (Client) totaling
approximately 24.44 acres, located at the proposed Dan River Game Land Access Area in
Rockingham County, North Carolina (Project or Project Area). The purpose of this desktop
assessment and on-site WoUS evaluation was to provide a preliminary opinion on the presence or
absence of potential jurisdictional WoUS within the designated Project Area, for preliminary
planning purposes only.
1.0 BACKGROUND
WoUS are defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S.
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 adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.” In order for an
area to be classified as a jurisdictional wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland
hydrologic indicators must be present, and must be adjacent to a jurisdictional non-wetland water
(tributary) of the United States.
In North Carolina, the USACE and the EPA jointly regulate the discharge of dredged and fill
material within jurisdictional WoUS under Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act and
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. WoUS includes territorial seas, navigable
coastal and inland lakes, rivers and tributaries (perennial and intermittent), and wetlands.
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 Quality (NC DEQ/DWQ). Permit requirements are
specific to the type, location, and amount of impacts, if proposed. Stormwater management plans
and/or mitigation for proposed impacts could be a requirement of the permit approval process.

2.0 CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS AND DESKTOP REVIEW
Upper portions of the project area consist of regenerating secondary successional tracts composed
largely of young Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), with lesser amounts of Winged Elm (Ulmus alata),
Red Maple (Acer rubrum var. rubrum), and Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Moving
downslope towards the Dan River, the vegetation becomes more mature and diverse, and is
dominated by broad-leaved mesophytic woody species such as American Beech (Fagus
grandifolia), Tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera), White Oak (Quercus alba), Northern Red Oak
(Quercus rubra), Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), Mockernut Hickory (Carya tomentosa),
Redbud (Cercis canadensis), and Blackhaw (Viburnum prunifolium). The herbaceous layer is
relatively sparse, but does include Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), New York Fern
(Parathelypteris noveboracensis), Shining Clubmoss (Huperzia lucidula), Virginia Snakeroot
(Endodeca serpentaria), Lined Sedge (Carex striatula), and Beechdrops (Epifagus virginiana).
At toe of slope and in bottomland terraces, one encounters woody vegetation typical of piedmont
floodplain forests including Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvancia), River Birch (Betula nigra),
American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Sugarberry (Celtis laevigata), Black Walnut
(Juglans nigra), and Box Elder (Acer negundo). Shrubs present are Pawpaw (Asimina triloba),
Northern Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), and American Strawberry-bush (Euonymus americanus).
Vines are numerous and include Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans), Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans), Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata), and Greenbrier
(Smilax rotundifolia). The herbaceous layer in the bottomland terraces is dense with species such
as Canada Wood-nettle (Laportea canadensis), Orange Jewel-weed (Impatiens capensis), and
Common Woodreed (Cinna arundinacea).
Surrounding land use consists mainly of undeveloped wooded lands, with a single residential home
along the northeast project area boundary. According to US Drought Monitor,
https://www.ncdrought.org Rockingham County was not classified as dry or under drought
conditions at the time of the investigation. Additionally, queries were made of the USACE
Mr. Jay McMullen– Duke Project Group LS2019DRGLAA; Dan River Game Land Access
CEC Project 195-507

Antecedent Rain Database, indicating that recent rainfall in the Project Area was below normal
(Attachment A).
A review of available topography, United State Geologic Survey (USGS) information shows the
surrounding area to be moderately sloping (Figure 2). The Project contains elevations ranging from
approximately 560 feet above mean sea level (amsl) to 630 feet amsl (Figure 5). One stream, Dan
River, is indicated along the south Project Area boundary.
A review of the published and on-line National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil
Surveys for Rockingham County indicates potential for hydric soils within the Project Area, where
the Chewacla Soil Series occurs (Figures 4A and 4B). While this Series is not hydric by soil
taxonomy standards, it can have inclusions of hydric soils due to landscape position and slow
permeability. A stream (Dan River) is indicated on the published soil survey (Figure 4B)
A review of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map indicates there are potential WoUS
within the Project Area (Figure 5). An inspection of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map
indicates that there is one stream (Dan River) within the Project Area, along the southern boundary.
The NWI map classifies the Dan River as R2UBH (Riverine Perennial Unconsolidated Bottom
Permanently Flooded). The NWI map appears to concur with the stream identified on the USGS
and Published Soil Survey maps.
3.0 WATERSHED CLASSIFICATION AND BUFFER REQUIREMENTS
According to the NC DEQ, the Project is in the eight digit HUC 03010103, Roanoke, the 10 digit
HUC 0301010305, Matrimony Creek-Dan River, and the 12 digit HUC 030101030504, Rock
House Creek-Dan River. The Dan River is classified as “Class WS-IV Waters” by the NCDEQ.
WS-IV Waters are used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing
purposes whereas a WS-I, II or III classification is not feasible. These waters are also protected for
Class C uses. WS-IV waters are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds or
Protected Areas. More information: Class C waters are defined as: Waters protected for uses such
as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation,
survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture.
Mandatory vegetative riparian buffers are not required by the NC DEQ based on the site locality
in a specific river basin or watershed. Development or stormwater setbacks that are specific to the
proposed development of the site could be required by the NC DEQ. Consultation with the local
zoning authority is recommended to determine site specific vegetation buffers adjacent to the
features located on the site prior to submittal for zoning approval.

4.0 PRELIMINARY JURISDICTIONAL REVIEW
This assessment utilized the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual along with the USACE
2010 Regional Supplement: Supplemental Guide ERDC/EL TR-12-9 (Eastern Mountains and
Piedmont Region (Version 2.0), Wilmington, NC District office.
Potential jurisdictional areas were delineated (flagged in the field), classified, and mapped with a
sub-foot Trimble Geo7X GPS unit using the USACE Routine On-Site Determination Method.
Data representative of on-site jurisdictional wetland areas, excluded waters, and non-jurisdictional
upland areas was collected and reported using Wetland Determination Data Forms (Attachment
A).
Potential jurisdictional tributaries and excluded waters were classified according to NC DWQ
Stream Identification Form Version 4.11. CEC utilizes the NC DWQ stream classification forms
in order to document on-site stream conditions as requested by the USACE Asheville field office.
These classifications include sampling with a D-shaped dip net, collecting photographic
documentation, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which stream changes
classification) within each on-site stream channel. NC DWQ Stream Classification Forms
representative of on-site stream channels were used to document stream conditions (Attachment
B).
Representative photographs were taken of on-site aquatic features and existing site conditions
(Attachment C). The locations of mapped wetlands and other WoUS, Stream Classification Points
(SCP), and Wetland or Upland Determination Data Points (DP) are depicted on (Figure 6).
5.0 RESULTS
On July 28th, 2020, CEC Scientists Kevin Thomas, Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS) and
North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist (NC LSS) and David Campbell, Botanist, performed the
onsite preliminary WoUS evaulation within Project Area.
Tributaries
Four potential jurisdictional tributaries were identified within the Project Area (Attachment B,
Figure 6 & Table 1). Tributary Area (TA) 1 and TA 3, originate along the south central portion
of the Project Area, and traverse the site in a south-westerly direction. Both TA 1 and TA 3 are
intermittent tributaries. TA 2 originates along the south-western Project Area boundary and
flows south as a perennial tributary, then transitions within the Project Area to an intermittent
tributary until confluencing with TA 4 (Dan River). TA 4 (Dan River) is a Navigatable Water
and perennial tributary, and flows along the entire southerm portion of the Project Area.
Perennial tributaries exhibit year-round flow with strong geomorphological, hydrological, and
biological characteristics. The on-site perennial tributary generally included soil based evidence
Mr. Jay McMullen– Duke Project Group LS2019DRGLAA; Dan River Game Land Access
CEC Project 195-507

of high water table, iron oxidizing bacteria, strong continuity of channel bed and bank, with some
aquatic biological activity.
Intermittent tributaries exhibit seasonal flow with moderate geomorphological, hydrological, and
biological characteristics. On-site intermittent tributaries generally exhibit moderate continuity of
channel bed and bank, generally include soil based evidence of high water table, and absent leaf
litter with little or no biological activity.

Excluded Features and Upland Areas
No additional WoUS or State were delineated within the Project Area, Wetland Determination
Data Forms, Stream Collection Points (SCP) and Photos representative of upland areas or
excluded features believed to be non-jurisdictional were collected outside the delineated WoUS
boundaries (Figure 6 and Attachments A, B & C; photos 22-24, 25-27 & 28-30). However, these
findings can only be considered preliminary and are not an official governmental approval.
6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The Report and on-site preliminary evaluation provided by CEC represents our best professional
judgment regarding the potential of on-site wetlands, streams, and other water features at the time
of the investigation that can be used for preliminary project planning only. However, until a
Jurisdictional Determination (JD) is issued by the regulatory agency, these findings can only be
considered preliminary and is not an official governmental approval. CEC recommends that before
any construction or other earth disturbance activities occur on site, a formal JD should be obtained
from the USACE.
