Scheller North Carolina Division of Water Quality Washington Regional Office 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, North Carolina 27889 Re: Stream Origin Determination (Project Area D): MCAS Cherry Point, Havelock, NC. Dear Roberto: Geo- Marine, Inc. (GMI) is pleased to submit this Stream Origin Determination packet for MCAS Cherry Point project area D for your review. Included in this packet are the following items: 1) Project description for MCAS Cherry Point Project Area D. 2) Stream Origin Determination Methodology. 3) Figures including: Subject stream origins and non - subject WoUS origins over USGS topographic maps and USDA soil survey maps. 4) NCPLS Origins Table We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and the other Washington Regional Office DWQ personnel. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the information we have provided. Sincerely, David Moose Environmental Scientist Geo- Marine, Inc. 2713 Magruder Blvd. Suite D Hampton VA, 23666 919 - 223 -0905 Project Description GMI was contracted by Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington, to conduct a wetland delineation and stream origin identification at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point in project areas identified by MCAS Cherry Point. The site is located off US Route 70 and Highway 101 in the town of Havelock, NC. GMI has four project areas at MCAS Cherry Point: Area A (2,470 acre), Area B (1,597 acre), Area C (1,840 acre) and Area D (1,434 acre), with a total acreage of 7,341 (Figure 1). As of May 29`h, 2012, NCDWQ has identified 6 perennial stream and 3 intermittent stream origins that are subject to the Neuse River buffer rules in Project Area D (Figures 2 through 12 and the NCPLS Origins Table). USACE has verified 37 additional WoUS features that are not subject to the Neuse River buffer rules in Project Area D (Figures 2 through 10 and the NCPLS Origins Table). Stream Origin Determination Methodology Origins of intermittent and perennial streams were located using the Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ 2010). NCDWQ and GMI staff conducted stream origin determinations in Project Area D on May 29`h 2012. All of the GMI identified USACE jurisdictional features (WoUS) verified by the USACE Washington Field Office were re- visited by NCDWQ and GMI. NCDWQ determined stream origins for the Neuse River buffer subject features, as well as, verified the non - subject status of the additional USACE WoUS features in Project Area D. All subject stream origins and non - subject WoUS origins were NCPLS surveyed after verification by NCDWQ and USACE. The NCPLS Origins Table provides origin determinations of the Neuse River buffer subject and non - subject features in GMI Cherry Point Project Area C for planning and permitting purposes and are valid for five years from the date of NCDWQ signature.
