❑ Office (Desk) Determination Date
❑ Field Determination Date(s)
1 The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time
2 In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters, (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions, (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization, (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary, (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable, (6) accepting a permit authorization (e g , signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
2

action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court, and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C F R Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C F R 331 5(a)(2)) If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information

The Map Book Pages are shown in groups of four. Each index sheet is provided as:
o 1) NC Orthoimagery Project 2010 Color Aerial Photograph
o 2) LiDAR Digital Elevation Model (lower elevations are shown in red, high
elevations are shown in green)
o 3) USGS Topographic 1:24,000 Quadrangle Maps, including Elizabeth City Quad
(1982), Shiloh Quad (1982), Currituck Quad (1982), and Barco Quad (1982)
o 4) USDA/NRCS Soil Survey Maps for Camden County (1995) and Carteret
County (1982)
Labels used in all four figures are:
• JS MIT — Jurisdictional tributaries requiring or likely requiring mitigation
• JS NON -MIT — Jurisdictional tributaries not requiring or not likely requiring
mitigation
• Wet Polyline — Wetland boundaries shown as lines since the wetland continues
outside the project corridor
• Wet Polygon — Wetland boundaries shown as polygons since the wetland is
entirely within the project area
• JS NON -MIT Polygon — Jurisdictional waters not requiring mitigation that are
large enough to display length and width dimensions are shown as polygons,
based on top of bank lines.
• A legend outlining the USDAINRCS Soil Survey Map Units by county is included after
the INDEX maps

Remarks
WY is a low -lying swamp system bounded on the N, E, and W by maintained roadways or a
railroad corridor Wetland WY is hydrologically connected to wetland WA via multiple 60" CMP
culverts beneath the railroad track, but the culverts are impounding flow within WA This
produces a different wetland community in WY than in the adjacent WA
Saturation was observed at 16 ", and the water table was observed at 16"

VEGETATION (Four Strata) — Use scientific names of plants
Sampling Point WY-WET
Remarks (If observed list morphological adaptations below)
WY -WET is located within a floodplain wetland, and the canopy vegetation is along the fringes and
hummocks within the wetland This area is likely inundated for large parts of the year and this likely
limits the herbaceous growth The established and dense canopy coverage also is preventing
herbaceous growth Giant cane is present however, and is tall and dense when growing on
hummocks and fringes

Notes: Stream SC is a modified natural channel that is now
carrying drainage and agricultural runoff out of the project area.
Fish were observed in the channel, and the stream has established
natural meander and depositional bars and benches towards the
southern end of the project corridor. SC is in a topographic
crenulation based on LiDAR mapping.

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 die 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): 48 Comments:
SC begins as a man -made ditch and flows south. SC transitions to a naturalized channel south of US -158. It is likely that
agricultural and developmental operations north of US -158 in this area drained their ditches to the headwater of a natural
channel, and SC is the resulting channel. An old sand quarry is north of US -158, adjacent to the Currituck County Airport.

Notes: Stream SW is an intermittent channel that is carrying
agricultural drainage to the modified natural channel SX. SW is
a man -made channel that has naturalized and has a natural meander
with stable banks and root density throughout. There are wetland
_plants growing in the bed, but this is likely due to the dry season and
low water table preventing flow from cleaning channel bed.

Notes: Stream SX is a modified natural channel that appears to
have good flow during wet seasons. The channel bed is broad with
well established and stable banks. The channel was dry at the time
of observation, but soils were saturated to the surface. OBL wetland
plants are present in the channel in the shade -free areas that run
through agricultural field edges. SX is visible on LiDAR mapping.

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. Q

Notes: Stream SY is a drainaae ditch that runs alona the toe
of slope at the base of a railroad track. The tracks are likely very old,
and this ditch has been naturalized slightly. There is an established
OHWM and evidence of flow. This likely only sees flow events during
flood stages in the adjacent wetland, or during high rainfall events.
OBL wetland plants are present throughout reach. SY is faintly
visible on the LiDAR elevation mapping.

Stream SY is a man -made ditch that is naturalizing. The main purpose of SY is to convey drainage from railroad tracks into
adjacent wetland system WZ. The ditch is dug deep, and is in hydric soils. The proximity to the wetland system and the
imnnnndment provided by US- 15&and the railroad means that the qroundwater is near the surface throughout the reach.
Weiland plants have grown in )ow -lying areas but this may be due to dry conditions. Sediment is present on plants a DanKS.

Notes: Stream SZ was likely a man -made channel that helped
to drain the area residential yards. SZ begins as a roadside ditch
adjacent to Lambs Road, and enters the forested areas surrounding
wetland WZ. In the forested areas SZ has naturalized and meanders
until draining into wetland WZ. Channel was dry at time of observation
but wracklines and sediment lines indicate this likely flows during
wet seasons. SZ is not visible on LiDAR mapping for the project area.

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): 34 Comments:
Stream SZ is a naturalized man -made ditch. It begins at a culvert beneath Lambs Road, and crosses a maintained area with
no canopy coverage. Wetland plants are present here, but in the forested areas, the stream has a washed bed. Debris piles
and hinh sPdimPnt lines indiratn that this receives sionificant flow durina wet seasons. SZ drains to wetland WZ.
