Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:* The site is an existing sewer outfall within a built -out residential development. Adjacent land is primarily residential yards along with areas of thin wooded corridor. The current sewer outfall is primarily on the north side of the stream, and portions of the line are exposed in the stream bed. General land use in the vicinity is residential. 4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?* r Yes r No r Unknown 4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.92 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 42 I.f. of intermittent stream, 723 I.f. of perennial stream 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The current sewer outfall is in need of replacement. The parallel stream ("SA" - UT to Belews Creek) has incised and migrated over time. Several segments of the existing outfall have been exposed and the stream bank is eroding behind one manhole. The proposed replacement outfall would be constructed along the south side of the stream, within existing easement as much as practical, vnth additional easement being acquired where needed. In addition, stormwater drainage currently affecting the stream and banks in several locations is being addressed through outlet reconfiguration, bank stabilization, and a plunge pool at a pipe outlet under Abington Drive. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* The proposed project will replace the existing sewer outfall from Abington Drive to a manhole approximately 760 feet downstream along the UT to Belem Creek (SA). The project will involve replacing both the existing outfall and several connecting service lines. Existing pipe segments within the stream channel will be cut and removed, while pipe within the stream bank will be cut, plugged and taken out of service. The project will replace the existing 8 inch pipe with new pipe of the same diameter. Stabilization, consisting of riprap underlain by filter fabric (see attached plans), is proposed in areas of severe erosion and unstable banks. This includes an existing plunge pool at the outlet of the pipe under Abington Drive, several segments of stream bank including the confluence of a small intermittent feature (SB) with the UT to Belews Creek (SA). Additional stabilization is proposed at the utility stream crossings to ensure banks remain in place after construction. Other areas, while consisting of relative steep banks, have some vegetative stabilization and rooted trees. The project has been designed to minimize tree removal, which would decrease bank stability. Two existing stormwater outlets from the south would discharge within the proposed utility easement. These outlets will be piped past the proposed corridor in order to avoid future erosion. Due to the limited distance between the sewer corridor and the stream, the discharges will be routed through riprap directly to the stream. They are currently undermining the floodplain and banks of the stream. The proposed project would have 8 stream impacts and one wetland impact. Impact details can be seen on the attached Impact Exhibit. The proposed stream impacts would constitute a total of 369 linear feet and 5,664 square feet of permanent stream impact, with no loss of stream function. Permanent stream impacts would be a result of rip rap installation belowthe existing stream grade to protect the sewer lines and prevent scour. The project would also have a total of 0.038 acre of temporary impact and 0.055 acre of permanent wetland impact, with no loss of Waters of the US. All permanent wetland impacts are associated with the clearing and conversion of forested wetlands into herbaceous wetlands within the proposed maintenance/access corridors. Forested wetlands within the limits of disturbance but outside of the proposed permanent access corridor would be cleared for construction and then allowed to regenerate forest vegetation. All impact areas will be returned to existing grade after installation of the waterline with the exception of manholes per the plans attached. Sediment and erosion control measure would be implemented according to NC requirements, and approved by NCDEMLR prior to implementation. Jurisdictional areas adjacent to construction areas would be clearly marked with protection fencing or other similar methods to avoid inadvertent encroachment. Copies of permits and impact areas would be provided to the prime contractor and all subcontractors working in or near jurisdictional areas. Land clearing would take place along with installation of erosion control devices. Construction would be accomplished using typical equipment including excavators and backhoes for trench construction. Additional standard equipment may be used as required. 5. Jurisdictional Determinations 5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?* r Yes r No r Unknown Comments: Delineation was performed on 3/12/21.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation v 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: The proposed sewer has been realigned to provide a maximum practical distance from the stream channel, while minimizing encroachment into adjacent residential lots. The lots on the north side of the stream are very close to the channel. The proposed sewer is designed on the south side of the stream where additional room is available with less impact to residences. Limits of disturbance of the project are being minimized through jurisdictional areas, including temporary construction access areas, and the maintained corridor is limited to 20 feet Wide. Stream bank stabilization measures have been designed to address existing issues, while minimizing the removal of trees in the stream bank. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: A temporary pump -around would be utilized to dewater streams Within proposed impact areas during construction (see attached engineering details). Best management practices and sedimentation and erosion control methods will be used throughout construction. No equipment or maintenance activities Will occur adjacent to jurisdictional areas, With the exception of addressing emergency equipment failure. All temporary impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and streams during construction will be returned to their original configuration and seeded in a timely manner for stabilization. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? r Yes r No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: Total permanent impact to wetlands is less than 0.10 acre and does not typically require mitigation under a NWP 58. The permanent impact will result in conversion rather than loss of aquatic resources. Stream stabilization is proposed as permanent, with no loss of WOTUS, and therefore not require mitigation. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules? r Yes r No If no, explain why: The project is located in the Roanoke River Basin. This basin is not under the jurisdiction of NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules. 2. Stormwater Management Plan 2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?* r Yes r No 2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)? r Yes r No Comments: The project is a sewer infrastructure project with impervious areas limited to manholes. No increase of stormwater compared to existing conditions is anticipated. Stabilization along the stream will be limited to addressing existing stormwater concerns. Two current stormwater outfalls will be piped through the utility corridor and discharged into the stream in areas of proposed reinforcement. No additional stormwater will be added to these outfalls. Riparian areas Will be stabilized and graded to address current subsiding where the discharges occur I G. Supplementary Information 1. Environmental Documentation 1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?* r' Yes C No 2. Violations (DWR Requirement) 2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? * r Yes r No 3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement) 3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?* r Yes r No 3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. No additional development is anticipated to result from the project as there is no anticipated change in service area. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) 4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?* r Yes r Nor N/A 4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant. This project is an existing private sewer system and ties into the existing Abington Kenwood sewer system. No additional capacity is required for the project. 5.

JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) ❑✓ 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. ❑ 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 Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. ✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area 1 • 3 acres. ❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

REQUESTS FROM CONSULTANTS Project Coordinates (Decimal Degrees): Latitude: 36.164260 Longitude:-80.095294 zA legible delineation map depicting the aquatic resources and the property/review area. Delineation maps must be no larger than 11x17 and should contain the following: (Corps signature of submitted survey plats will occur after the submitted delineation map has been reviewed and approved).6 ■ North Arrow ■ Graphical Scale ■ Boundary of Review Area ■ Date ■ Location of data points for each Wetland Determination Data Form or tributary assessment reach. For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations: ■ Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404 wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features. ■ Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries, impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary, open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear length of each of these features as appropriate. ■ Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non - jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. 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. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate. Completed Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region (at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type) 6 Please refer to the guidance document titled "Survey Standards for Jurisdictional Determinations" to ensure that the supplied map meets the necessary mapping standards. http://www.saw.usace.almy.mil/Missions/Re ug latory-Permit- Pro gram/Jurisdiction/ Version: May 2017 Page 5 Jurisdictional Determination Request F4Completed appropriate Jurisdictional Determination form • PJDs, please complete a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form' and include the Aquatic Resource Table • AJDs, please complete an Approved Jurisdictional Determination Form' W1 Vicinity Map zAerial Photograph z USGS Topographic Map Soil Survey Map Other Maps, as appropriate (e.g. National Wetland Inventory Map, Proposed Site Plan, previous delineation maps, LIDAR maps, FEMA floodplain maps) Landscape Photos (if taken) NCSAM and/or NCWAM Assessment Forms and Rating Sheets NC Division of Water Resources Stream Identification Forms FJ Other Assessment Forms ' www.saw.usace.army.mil/Portals/59/docs/regulatory/regdocs/JD/RGL 08-02_App A Prelim JD Form fillable.pdf 8 Please see hM2://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Re ug latoiy-Permit-Proaram/Jurisdiction/ Principal Purpose: The information that you provide will be used in evaluating your request to determine whether there are any aquatic resources within the project area subject to federal jurisdiction under the regulatory authorities referenced above.

REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): ❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date: ❑ Field Determination. Date(s): TABLE OF AQUATIC RESOURCES IN REVIEW AREA WHICH "MAY BE" SUBJECT TO REGULATORY JURISDICTION. Site number Latitude (decimal degrees) Longitude (decimal degrees) Estimated amount of aquatic resource in review area (acreage and linear feet, if applicable) Type of aquatic resource (i.e., wetland vs. non -wetland waters) Geographic authority to which the aquatic resource "may be" subject (i.e., Section 404 or Section 10/404) SA 36.164106 -80.095110 723 Non -wetland waters 404 S B 36.164353 -80.095182 42 Non -wetland waters 404 WA 36.164621 -80.095905 0.09 Wetland 404 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 or judicial 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: SUPPORTING DATA.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Wager Clark Director, Division of land and Water Stewardship NCNHDE-15633 The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally - listed species are documented near the project area. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
