Dear Mr. Kulz:
Here's Dr. Gregory's Report the Town is questioning. They're trying to claim the entire reach of Tributary A /B /C/ and a
portion of the Main Channel are Intermittent. The individuals they sent out to perform their assessment do not have
the proper credentials to make such determinations, and their interpretation is a gross misrepresentation of the
methodology outlined in the Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams (NCDWQ
Version 3.1). We're standing behind Dr. Gregory's assessment of site hydrology, and need someone from your
department to meet onsite with our Survey Crew and Dr. Gregory, to come to an unbiased final consensus on the
correct classification of these systems. Please coordinate your site visit with Dr. Mike Molley, Senior Solutech
Environmental Scientist (1- 770 - 231 - 7492), and he'll make sure Dr. Gregory and our Survey Crew are onsite at that time.
Best regards,

Stream Assessment:
Eubanks Road Site of The Edge Chapel Hill, LLC

1114 Upper Reach Drive, Wilmington, NC 28409
August 31, 2012

Introduction
Watershed Hydrology Consultants LLC (WatHydro) conducted a map and field assessment
of the stream network on a proposed development site of The Edge Chapel Hill, LLC (project site)
located in northern Chapel Hill, NC The objective of the assessment was to determine the potential
presence of surface waters subject to 15A NCAC 02B 0.267 Jordan Water Supply Nutrient Strategy
Protection of Existing Riparian Buffers (Jordan Lake buffer rules) and the Code of Ordinances of the
Town of Chapel Hill, App A, Art. 5 18 Jordan Watershed Riparian Buffer Protection (Chapel Hill
Jordan buffer ordinance). Dr James D Gregory conducted the stream assessment and his
qualifications and experience are noted in attachments to this report
Methods
The project site of approximately 80 acres is located at the intersection of Interstate 40 and
NC 86 /Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and is bounded by I -40 on the north, Eubanks Road on the
south, and a service road and a reach of Old Field Creek on the west (Figures 1 and 2) On the U S
Geological Survey (USGS) 1 24,000 scale topographic map (Chapel Hill Quadrangle, North Carolina,
7.5 Minute Series, 2010) is depicted one first order intermittent stream on the project site that
begins a short distance south of Eubanks Road, courses northwestward across the project site and
discharges to Old Field Creek (main stream) (Figure 3). On the soils map (top of Sheet Number 26)
of the Orange County Soil Survey (Dunn 1977), the main stream on the project site is depicted as a
second order intermittent stream with two short first order intermittent tributaries on the western
side of the main stream(Figure 4) Thus, the streams as depicted on the soils map represent the
potential surface waters that may be subject to the Jordan Lake buffer rules and the Chapel Hill
Jordan buffer ordinance.
The channels within the project site as depicted on the USGS topographic map and the soils
map were traversed and evaluated in accordance with the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins,
Version 4.11 (NCDWQ 2010) At Sites 2 and 3 as noted on Figure 4, the channel was evaluated and a
NCDWQ Stream Identification Form Version 4 11 was completed Copies of the stream
identification forms are included as attachments to this report. Distances noted in the channel
descriptions below were measured in approximately straight lines with a 100 in fiberglass tape
Results
Site 1
There is not an intermittent stream nor even a well - developed ephemeral channel in the
small valley noted as Site 1 on Figure 4 There is dispersed minor scouring of the forest floor
indicating that overland flow during high intensity rainfall events is predominantly dispersed flow
In the right center of the valley is a small, shallow and very old agricultural ditch that throughout
much of its length is nearly filled with soil, has a well developed forest floor and a partially
developed A horizon and has trees of 6 -8 inches dbh growing in the bottom of the channel Scouring
of the forest floor in one short section of the ditch is indicative of concentrated flow but most of the
length of the old ditch is undisturbed and does not transport concentrated flow
Site 2
There is not an intermittent stream but a moderately well - developed ephemeral
drainageway in the small valley noted as Site 2 on Figure 4 The point where dispersed flow

transitions to concentrated flow at the ephemeral channel origin is approximately 187 feet from the
main channel The reach downstream of the channel origin scored 16 0 points on the stream
identification form
Site 3
On the main stream, the regulatory origin is the ephemeral to intermittent transition (EI
point) at a large head cut located approximately 394 feet downstream of the outlet end of the
culvert under Eubanks Road That point was marked with labeled orange flagging The main stream
is intermittent or perennial in character between the EI and the western boundary of the project
site and thus is subject to the Jordan Lake buffer rules and the Chapel Hill Jordan buffer ordinance
throughout that channel segment The reach downstream of the EI (Site 3a) scored 25.0 points on
the stream identification form and the reach upstream of the El (Site 3b) scored 7,5 points on the
stream identification form. From the El upslope to a point approximately 95 feet downstream of the
outlet end of the Eubanks Road culvert, there are multiple, very small, shallow and discontinuous
ephemeral channels with strong evidence that overland stormflow is predominantly dispersed
flow A small ditch constructed when the Eubanks Road culvert was installed begins at the outlet
end of the culvert and terminates approximately 95 feet downslope. That ditch is not subject to the
Jordan Lake buffer rules and the Chapel Hill Jordan buffer ordinance

Corps of Engineers (Corps) wetlands regulatory programs, particularly application of these
regulations to forestry, and regularly give invited presentations on these programs at conferences and
workshops Have taught 1 -3 times annually since 1996, a five -day workshop on the Corps wetland

delineation methods. Have served as an expert consultant to both private parties and the EPA and
Corps on wetlands regulatory cases.
2. Numerous Short Courses sponsored by the N.C. State University Forestry and Environmental Outreach
Program. These have included Wetlands Delineation, Stream Identification, Wetland Hydrology, Forest
Hydrology, Clean Water Act Section 404 Regulations, Riparian Zone Structure and Functions, Soil
Management for Wetland and Stream Mitigation, Forest Water Management, Forestry BMPs, Vegetation
Management, Forest Soils, Bottomland Hardwoods, Wetland Mitigation, and many others.
3. Technology Transfer through service on Statewide committees and task forces:
a. 1989 — 2010: Charter Member, N.C. Forest Practices Guidelines Technical Advisory Committee.
Have served as a key member of this committee since it was established by the N.C. legislature in
1989. This committee developed the N.C. Forestry BUT program, drafted the first BMP manual in
1989 and drafted a greatly expanded and updated BMP manual in 2007.
