The project proposes to restore, enhance, and preserve 6 unnamed tributaries to Indian Creek and to re-establish and rehabilitate wetlands, and treat points of concentrated
agricultural runoff using Best Management Practices (BMP). For this project, unnamed tributaries are referred to as Oak Hill Creek, UT1, UT1A, UT1 B, UT2, UT3. The project will
generate stream and wetland credits within the Catawba River Basin 03050102.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project proposes approximately 5,037 LF of stream restoration, Enhancement I, and Enhancement II. The project also proposed 9.429 acres of wetland re-establishment, wetland
rehabilitation, and wetland creation. Stream restoration will be achieved through natural channel design. Stream restoration activities include Priority 1 and Priority 2 approaches.
Priority 1 restoration will involve the excavation of new channels within the existing floodplain and Priority 2 sections of the channel will be constructed where needed to transition grade
from existing to proposed elevations. Both approaches will include the installation of in -stream structures including constructed riffles, brush toe, log j-hooks, rock j-hooks, log sills, and
rock sills. Wetland re-establishment, rehabilitation, and creation will be achieved through a combination of floodplain excavation and the filling of existing ditches. Post -construction the
project area will be planted with native riparian buffer and wetland species. Excavators will be used for channel and floodplain excavation as well as for bank grading, while articulated
and track trucks will be used for hauling soil. Small equipment such as mini excavators and skid steers may also be used during grading activities. A conservation easement has been
recorded in the project area.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Due to the nature of mitigation projects, impacts to on -site streams and wetlands are necessary. The project will use natural channel design
techniques throughout to have an overall positive impact by restoring stream function and habitat, by improving bed features in the streams and by re-
establishing flood storage and connectivity.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Project Construction will be done in the dry as much as possible through of0ine construction in areas of Priority 1 restoration and pumping around
Men working in existing online channels. Newly constructed channel banks will be stabilized using biodegradable coir fiber matting, seeding, and
planted with native riparian species. Haul roads and access routes to be located on uplands where possible to avoid impacts. Construction activities
vrilI follow the guidelines outlined in the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. See plans for additional avoidance measures
used to minimize impacts to streams and wetlands.

OPTION AGREEMENT
This Option Agreement is between Harold R. Lineberger and wife Patsy Lineberger (collectively
"Optlonor"), and WIldlands Engineering, Inc., a North Carolina corporation ("Optioned").
Thls agreement will become effective when all parties have signed It (the "Effective Data").
Optionor does hereby give and grant to Optlonee the right and option to purchase a temporary
construction easement ("TCE") on a portion of real property located at 201 Robert Road in Cherryville,
Gaston County, North Carolina, recorded in that county's Register of Deeds at Book 14E, Page 780 (the
"Property"). The TCE is shown on attachment A as Temporary Construction Access Area and Is
approximately 0.40 acres.
The purpose of the TCE is to facilitate a stream restoration project on real property adjacent to
the Property to provide water quality benefits and protect the watershed (the "Project").
Construction access for the Project will be from the Adjacent property. The stream will be
relocated off the Property and the old stream bed filled, graded evenly, seeded, strewed, and planted
with native hardwood tree saplings. Trees which are on the current banks of the stream and may not
survive will be removed. The driveway East of the TCE shall be left in as is or better condition than prior
to construction.
Within five business days following the Effective Date, Optionee will pay Optionor $500.00 (the
"Option Consideration"). The Option Consideration is for Seller granting this Option and for Seller's
forbearance in keeping the TCE Area off the market during the Option Term.
On or before the first day Optionor begins construction of the Project, Optlonee will pay to
Optionor $500.00.
Prior to Construction, Optionor and Optionee shall work together to determine if there is an
advantage to both parties for Optionee to purchase a Conservation Easement upon all or a portion of the
TCE or record a parcel boundary adjustment such that all or a portion of the TCE area is transferred to the
Adjacent Property owner. In either case, Optionee shall pay Optionor $30,000.00 per acre for
Conservation Easement area or area transferred to the Adjacent Property Owner. Details of any such
arrangement will be made after a survey of the Property and Adjacent Property Is complete.

PINs2691-90-0340, 2690-89-1706, 2690-79-8897 and 3601-00-0464.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 12/7/2020. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of
impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a
preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they
are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable
action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.
Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA
jurisdiction over all of the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able
to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waterson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be
relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by
the Corps.
❑ The waters on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. The
approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly suggest you have
this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey

SAW-2019-00833
will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in
the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official
identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied
upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Krystvnka B Sty2ar at 252-545-0507 or
krystynka.b.stvgar(a usace.armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: Based on information submitted by the applicant
and available to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the project area exhibits criteria for waters of the
U.S. as defined in 33 CFR 328, the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, and/or Regional Supplement
to the 1987 Manual: Eastern Piedmont and Mountains v2.0. See preliminary jurisdictional
determination form dated 12/7/2020 included in the file.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
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 AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) 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) 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)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (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 PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative orjudicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

OPTION AGREEMENT
This Option Agreement is between Harold R. Lineberger and wife Patsy Lineberger (collectively
"Optlonor"), and WIldlands Engineering, Inc., a North Carolina corporation ("Optioned").
Thls agreement will become effective when all parties have signed It (the "Effective Data").
Optionor does hereby give and grant to Optlonee the right and option to purchase a temporary
construction easement ("TCE") on a portion of real property located at 201 Robert Road in Cherryville,
Gaston County, North Carolina, recorded in that county's Register of Deeds at Book 14E, Page 780 (the
"Property"). The TCE is shown on attachment A as Temporary Construction Access Area and Is
approximately 0.40 acres.
The purpose of the TCE is to facilitate a stream restoration project on real property adjacent to
the Property to provide water quality benefits and protect the watershed (the "Project").
Construction access for the Project will be from the Adjacent property. The stream will be
relocated off the Property and the old stream bed filled, graded evenly, seeded, strewed, and planted
with native hardwood tree saplings. Trees which are on the current banks of the stream and may not
survive will be removed. The driveway East of the TCE shall be left in as is or better condition than prior
to construction.
Within five business days following the Effective Date, Optionee will pay Optionor $500.00 (the
"Option Consideration"). The Option Consideration is for Seller granting this Option and for Seller's
forbearance in keeping the TCE Area off the market during the Option Term.
On or before the first day Optionor begins construction of the Project, Optlonee will pay to
Optionor $500.00.
Prior to Construction, Optionor and Optionee shall work together to determine if there is an
advantage to both parties for Optionee to purchase a Conservation Easement upon all or a portion of the
TCE or record a parcel boundary adjustment such that all or a portion of the TCE area is transferred to the
Adjacent Property owner. In either case, Optionee shall pay Optionor $30,000.00 per acre for
Conservation Easement area or area transferred to the Adjacent Property Owner. Details of any such
arrangement will be made after a survey of the Property and Adjacent Property Is complete.
