July 10, 2020 S&EC Project No.: 14305.W1 To: FLM Engineering Attn: Chase Massey PO Box 91727 Raleigh, NC 27675 Re: Wetland Delineation and Stream Evaluation Swan Lake Property Franklin County, NC Mr. Massey: On July 08, 2020, S&EC personnel completed the wetland delineation and stream evaluation on the Swan Lake Property in Franklin County, NC. You will find the attached report detailing our findings. Maps that further document the wetland and stream related site characteristics are also attached. The next step in the wetland and stream verification process is to visit the site with the Army Corps of Engineers’ agent for the Franklin County as well as a representative with NCDWR. S&EC will schedule these site visits at your request. As you move forward in planning your development, S&EC personnel are available for site plan review and permit consultation services. Please contact S&EC if you have any questions related to wetland and stream regulations or if you need clarification of the attached report. Sincerely, SOIL & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, PA Steven Ball, RF, PWS Project Manager Attachments: 1) Wetland Delineation Report 2) USGS site vicinity map 3) NRCS Soil Survey 4) Wetland & Stream Sketch Map 5) Agent Authorization Form S&EC Project #: 14305.W1 July 10, 2020 DETAILED WETLAND DELINEATION & STREAM EVALUATION FOR THE SWAN LAKE PROPERTY On JULY 08, 2020, S&EC personnel completed a detailed wetland delineation and stream evaluation on the Swan Lake Property (±105 acres). The site is located on 1781 W. Green Street in Franklinton, NC. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the location of the site on a USGS topographic quadrangle and NRCS County Soil Survey, respectively. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We have determined that wetlands and streams generally account for the jurisdictional waters observed on the site. The attached wetland sketch map depicts the approximate locations of streams and wetlands identified during our evaluation. Please refer to the sketch map and the results and recommendations section below for more detailed information. SCOPE OF WORK The detailed wetland delineation consisted of traversing the property to examine soils, vegetation, and hydrology across the site in search of areas that meet the criteria for jurisdictional wetlands as described by the procedures set forth in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (January 1987 – Final Report) and Reginal Supplement (Version 2.0). Areas on the site with positive indicators of hydric soils, evidence of wetland hydrology, and presence of hydrophytic vegetation were flagged with sequentially numbered, pink S&EC logo flagging. Proof of wetland hydrology would be the existence of hydric soils with oxidized root channels in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, water borne deposits, drift lines, scour marks, drainage patterns, regional indicators of soil saturation, etc. Surface waters such as intermittent and perennial stream channels, ponds, and lakes, which are also subject to regulation by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as waters of the US, were also identified. These surface waters may also be referred to as jurisdictional waters to indicate that they are within the jurisdiction of the USACE. It is important to note that wetlands are also classified as waters of the US and regulated by the USACE under authority of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). RESULTS & RECOMMENDATIONS The results of the detailed wetland delineation and stream evaluation are discussed below. Wetlands and Jurisdictional Waters: We have determined that jurisdictional waters (i.e., streams and wetlands) exist on the site. Please refer to the attached “Wetland Sketch Map” for specific flag numbers and approximate locations. July 10, 2020 S&EC Project #: 14305.W1 Page 2 of 4 A number of jurisdictional streams were observed during the site evaluation; the approximate locations of each are illustrated on the attached wetland sketch map. Streams identified on-site are described below:  Feature A (Middle Creek) starts off property to the west and is perennial throughout its extent.  Feature B (UT to Middle Creek) begins off property to the south and is perennial until its convergence with Feature A.  Feature C (UT to Middle Creek) begins off property to the east and is likely perennial until its convergence with Feature B.  Feature D (UT to Middle Creek) begins off property to the east and is likely intermittent until its convergence with Feature C.  Feature E (UT to Middle Creek) starts at flag S01. This feature is believed to be intermittent until its convergence with Feature A. NCDWR and USACE should review this feature. Surface waters on this site flow into Middle Creek in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin, which has been classified in “Classification and NC DWQ Standards Applicable to Surface Waters and Wetlands of North Carolina” as C; NSW. The wetlands onsite were identified as being a Bottomland Hardwood/Headwater Forest wetland type as outlined in the publication 1“NCWAM Manual.” This wetland type is common throughout the piedmont region of North Carolina and is found mainly along headwater streams like the one onsite. Tar-Pamlico River Buffers: The surface waters on site potentially subject to the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffers include features A, B, C, and D. No other surface waters are indicated on either the USGS topographic or Franklin County Soil Survey maps. S&EC believes the features onsite will be subject as shown on the attached map. A site meeting with a representative from the NCDWR is required to confirm our buffer determinations. All S&EC flags comprising the wetland and jurisdictional waters delineation should be surveyed for use in site planning and USACE approval and permitting. The entire length of each stream feature was not flagged but will need to be survey located. Stream features may be located either along the centerline (with channel widths noted at each survey point) or at the top-of-bank. Please have the property owner or contracting buyer complete the attached agent authorization form if you would like S&EC to act on their behalf for requesting approval of the wetland delineation. This form will also be used in preparing a permit application for impacts to wetlands or surface waters when we are provided with a plan showing the proposed impacts. S&EC cannot conduct correspondence with the USACE unless we have agent authorization (see attached Agent Authorization). This authorization form must be filled out in its entirety and returned to S&EC (a faxed copy is acceptable). 1“North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method. July 10, 2020 S&EC Project #: 14305.W1 Page 3 of 4 REGULATIONS A general list of regulations that apply to jurisdictional wetlands and waters present on the site are discussed below. Please be aware that other local, state, and federal regulations not included in this list may also apply. S&EC personnel are available to discuss these regulations as they apply to your project. Tar-Pamlico River Buffer Rules: The Tar-Pamlico River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Areas with Existing Forest Vegetation (15A NCAC 2B.0233) rules apply 50-foot wide riparian buffers directly adjacent to surface waters in the Neuse River Basin (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds, and estuaries), excluding wetlands. The rule defines surface waters as features approximately shown on either the most recent version of the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the 7.5-minute quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the US Geologic Survey (USGS). Surface waters that appear on these maps are not subject only if an on-site determination by the NC Division of Water Quality (NC-DWQ) shows that they fall into one of the following categories: 1) Ditches and manmade conveyances other than modified natural streams; 2) Manmade ponds and lakes that are located outside natural drainage ways; or 3) Ephemeral (stormwater) streams. Wetland Permitting: The current Nationwide Permits were issued by the USACE on March 18, 2017. The USACE Wilmington District issued revised Regional Conditions for the 2017 Nationwide Permits. We recommend you forward a conceptual site plan to our office for review by our permitting specialist, who can best advise you of the specific permitting needs as you progress through the planning process. Generally, wetland impact permits are issued on a per-project basis as determined by the USACE. The USACE has determined that impacts on parcels sub-divided from larger tracts are sometimes considered to be cumulative to existing impacts for the large tract. If this is the case, then thresholds for notification may not apply to your project and impacts to streams/wetlands must be considered in light of existing permits. LIMITATIONS Our evaluations, conclusions, and recommendations are based on project and site information available to us at the time of this report and may require modification if there are any changes in the project or site conditions, or if additional data about the project or site becomes available in the future. This report is intended for use by FLM Engineering on this project. These findings are not intended or recommended to be suitable for reuse on extensions of the project or on any other project. Reuse on extensions of this project or on any other project shall be done only after written verification or adaptation by SOIL & ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, PA, for the specific purpose intended. July 10, 2020 S&EC Project #: 14305.W1 Page 4 of 4 CONCLUSION The wetland and stream delineation for the Swan Lake Property was completed by S&EC on July 08, 2020. This site contains jurisdictional streams and wetland areas that may require preconstruction authorization for impacts, depending on the size and nature of the impact (i.e. road construction, lot fill, stormwater pond construction, etc.). USACE and NCDWR verification of our site assessment should be obtained. Following verification meetings with regulatory agencies, the next step in the stream and wetland identification and permitting process is to obtain a field survey of our delineation for formal approval by the USACE. Upon completing the survey, these site constraints may then be integrated into planning for property development.
