Crop Type should include the most likely crop types for the life of the permit (five years). Predominant Soils Series Name must be either the name of the soil indicated in Attachment "B" of the existing permit, or name of the soil series as provided by the licensed soil scientist. Predominant Soil Mapping Unit or Representative Slope: Either the Soil Mapping Unit or the representative slope of each site must be provided. The predominant soil -mapping unit must be consistent with the predominant soil series name. Please note that the soil mapping units are variable between Counties, so care should be taken in properly identifying the correct mapping unit. If a representative slope is provided, it must be determined accordingly: [2] For sites previously permitted for use, but do not have an established soil mapping unit (the mapping unit provides information on boththe soil series name and the slope of the soil), the Applicant may determine the representative slope by using the average slope provided in the County Soil Survey (or equivalent). A soil type with a slope range of 4 - 8% would have a representative slope of 6%. El New Sites to be permitted must have slopes determined as past of the soils report prepared by a licensed soil scientist. Acceptable methods for determining location coordinates (i.e., latitude and longitude) and their corresponding codes are as follows: • Address Matching (ADD) • Aerial Photography with. Ground Control (AER) • Cadastral Survey (SU.R) • Conversion from Coordinate Plane (CP) • Conversion from Township -Section -Range (TSR) • Conversion from Universal Trans Mere (UTM) • Map interpretation by Digital or Manual Extraction (MAP) C. Waterbody and Classifications Information: (new sites only) • Digital or Raw Photo Extraction (EXT) • Geodetic Quality GPS Survey (GEO) • LORAN-C Navigation Device (LOR) • Navigation Quality GPS (GPS) • Remote Sensing (RS) • Zip Code Centroid (ZIP) Use an 8.5 by 11-inch copy of the portion of a 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map to identify the location where the residuals program activities are planned to occur as well as the closest downslope surface waters as clearly as possible. Each map portion must be labeled with the map name and number, the identified location, and be of clear and reproducible quality. Surface water body classifications information may be found at: h ':1/des .ne.:ov/about/divisioris/water- resources/plann jngLc1ass ficatian-standards/classifications Any questions concerning the waterbody and its classification, please contact the Division's regional offices. El A list of the Division's regional offices, their county coverage, and their contact information may be downloaded at: http://deq.nc.gay/contactfregional-offices El General Instructions: There are 17 river basins in North Carolina. Each basin has associated waterbodies with assigned subbasins, location descriptions, stream index numbers and established classifications. I. Identify the project area on a 7.5 minute USGS topographical map (an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet showing the project area should be submitted with the permit application regardless of whether a Stream classification was completed). 2. Determine the names of all the closest down slope surface waters from the project site. For unnamed tributaries, see Table 1: Unnamed Tributaries Entering Other States or for Specific Basin Areas. Label any unnamed tributaries as "UT to stream name" as the waterbody name, 3. Open the link http:l/deq.nc.gov/aboutldivisions/water-resources/planning/classifieation-standards/classifications. Ei Stream Classification Process: One of the options below may be used depending on the known initial project information. EZI KNOWN BASIN WHERE CLOSEST DOWN SLOPE SURFACE WATER IS LOCATED 1. Select proper basic from the List all Waterbodies in Basin sorted report. Sort hydrologically as this will provide the proper location descriptions if multiple runs. INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM: LASC 06-16 Page 2 of 3 2. Locate the name of the identified waterbody (from General Directions) on the list. 3. For multiple listings of the same waterbody name in the report, select and verify the location description. The term "source" in the description means the beginning of the waterbody segment (most upstream point). 4. Record all Basins, Stream Index Numbers and Classifications applicable to the project. El KNOWN COUNTY WHERE CLOSEST DOWN SLOPE SURFACE WATER IS LOCATED 1. Select the proper county from the List all Waterbodies in county, hydrologically report. 2. Locate the name of the identified waterbody (from General Directions) on the list. 3. For multiple listings of the same waterbody name in the report, select and verify the location description. The term "source" in the description means the beginning of the waterbody segment (most upstream point). 4. Record all Basins, Stream index Numbers and Classifications applicable to the project. EI UNKNOWN BASIN WHERE CLOSEST DOWN SLOPE SURFACE CATER IS LOCATED 1. Use the CI.ickable basin map to hydrologically sorted list report. 2. Click on the approximate project location to bring up the hydrologically sorted list, 3. Locate the name of the identified waterbody (from General Directions) on the list. 4. For multiple listings of the same waterbody name in the report, select and verify the location description. The term "source" in the description means the beginning of the waterbody segment (most upstream point). 5. Record all Basins, Stream Index Numbers and Classifications applicable to the project. El Notes on index number and unnamed streams: Unnamed Streams 1ST NCAC 02BM301(ij. El Any stream which is not named in the schedule of stream classifications carries the same classification as that assigned to the stream segment to which it is tributary (at the point of entry) except: (A) unnamed streams specifically described in the schedule of classifications; (B) unnamed freshwaters tributary to tidal saltwaters will be classified "C"; or (C) after November 1, 1986, any newly created areas of tidal saltwater which are connected to Class SA waters by approved dredging projects will be classified "SC" unless case -by -case reclassification proceedings are conducted.
