Dewberry has determined the limits of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. (including wetlands) within the boundaries of the site and is requesting a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)to confirm those boundaries. Surveys were conducted by Dewberry scientists using methods outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Regional Supplement. Data to support these decisions are included with this request. Please contact John Merritt with any questions or comments at jmerritt@dewberry.com or(919) 608-8647.

I,the undersigned, am either a duly authorized owner of record of the property identified herein, or acting as the duly authorized agent of the owner of record of the property. See Attached Forms Print Name Capacity: n Owner n Authorized Agents Date See Attached Signed Agent Authorization Signature E. REASON FOR JD REQUEST: (Check as many as applicable) n I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which would be designed to avoid all aquatic resources. ❑ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which would be designed to avoid all jurisdictional aquatic resources under Corps authority. n I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which may require authorization from the Corps, and the JD would be used to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources and as an initial step in a future permitting process. ▪ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which may require authorization from the Corps; this request is accompanied by my permit application and the JD is to be used in the permitting process. nI intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities in a navigable water of the U.S. which is included on the district Section 10 list and/or is subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. 111 A Corps JD is required in order obtain my local/state authorization. 111 I intend to contest jurisdiction over a particular aquatic resource and request the Corps confirm that jurisdiction does/does not exist over the aquatic resource on the parcel. • I believe that the site may be comprised entirely of dry land. n Other: 3 For NCDOT requests following the current NCDOT/USACE protocols,skip to Part E. a If there are multiple parcels owned by different parties,please provide the following for each additional parcel on a continuation sheet. 5 Must provide agent authorization form/letter signed by owner(s). Version:May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION(JD)TYPE (Select One) n I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination(PJD)provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States"or"navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed(33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary"in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. 0 I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination(AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States"or"navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner,permit applicant, or other"affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2)who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision. G. ALL REQUESTS n Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. n Size of Property or Review Area 5.72 acres. n The property boundary(or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or"Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: • Wetland and non-wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction.

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: SUPPORTING DATA.
