Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A.PreliminaryDetermination ܈ There appear to be waters, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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 February 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, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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, including wetlands at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters, including wetlands 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 waters, including wetlandson 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, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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 SAW-2020-01098 suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey 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, including wetlands 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 (252) 808-2808 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 James Lastinger at 919-554-4884 ext 32 or James.C.Lastinger@usace.army.mil. C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination form dated 07/22/2020. 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.

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.

This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) or Delegated Local Authority in the Jordan Lake watershed may request a determination by the DWR Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter or from the date the affected party (including downstream and/or adjacent owners) is notified of this letter. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Karen Higgins, DWR —401 & Buffer Permitting Unit; 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. Otherwise the appeal procedure will be in accordance with UDO Section 6.1.11. If you dispute the Director's determination, you may file a petition for an administrative hearing. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within sixty (60) days of receipt of this notice of decision. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm, except for official State holidays.

(ApexTransportationPlanMapHortonRidgeBlvd.pdf), with a call out of Horton Ridge Blvd. added by SEI.     2) The PCN states “the road connection was designed to avoid impacts to WOTUS to the maximum extent  practicable, while still containing the required grade and curvatures for safety and connectivity.” Please provide  additional details to support the proposed project compliance with general conditions 23 a and b. For example,  please provide justification to support the proposed location and alignment of the proposed project. Without  additional clarification it appears there are uplands north of impact area B and uplands west of impact area C  that could be utilized while still achieving the project purpose;  The alignment of the road was set based on two pre‐existing street stubs, one from the existing Woodbury  neighborhood to the south, and one from the Friendship Station neighborhood to the east (currently under  construction).  Based on the Town of Apex’s design criteria for minimum curve radii and distance between reverse  curves for a design speed of 40 mph, there is no way to avoid impacts to the wetlands and streams along this corridor,  while still making connections to the existing street stub locations and providing a safe and efficient corridor for drivers.    3) Cumulative permanent stream impacts for this project exceed the 150 linear foot threshold per NWP 14  Regional Condition 3.2, and therefore compensatory mitigation is required. Please submit a compensatory  mitigation plan. The mitigation rule generally prescribes purchasing stream credits first through a mitigation  bank with stream credits available in this HUC, or second through the NC Division of Mitigation Services; please  provide a mitigation acceptance letter from your proposed compensatory mitigation provider. Typically,  compensatory mitigation is required at a 2:1 credit to impact ratio unless otherwise justified based on  evaluation of aquatic function;   Please see attached statement of availability (Horton Ridge Blvd ‐ Wetland SOA 09‐29‐2021.pdf).  4) Cumulative permanent wetland impacts for this project exceed the 0.1acre threshold per Nationwide Permit  General Condition 23c, and therefore compensatory mitigation is required. Please submit a compensatory  mitigation plan. The mitigation rule generally prescribes purchasing wetland credits first through a mitigation  bank with wetland credits available in this HUC, or second through the NC Division of Mitigation Services; please  provide a mitigation acceptance letter from your proposed compensatory mitigation provider. Typically,  compensatory mitigation is required at a 2:1 credit to impact ratio unless otherwise justified based on  evaluation of aquatic function;  Please see attached statement of availability (RES CF02 ‐ SOA Dairyland ‐ Horton Ridge Boulevard.pdf).    5) Based on the cross sections for Area A and Area B rip rap dissipator pads are proposed. Please update the  impact table and impact maps to include the proposed riprap dissipator pads. Additionally, the proposed rip rap  should be in compliance with regional condition 3.5.2 (see attached);  Please see the updated impact maps (Horton Ridge ‐ Prelim Impact Maps.pdf).  Please note that the impact quantities  shown in the PCN tables have not changed because the previous submittal had already included the rip‐rap pad in the  linear footage/square footage of permanent stream impact.  Impact maps and cross sections for Impact Areas A & B  have been updated to show rip‐rap pad as embedded into the stream bed, per Regional Condition 3.5.2.  The darker  shading along the stream corridor indicates the extent of the stream impacts.    3 6) What is the design speed of the proposed road? Would a shift of the road at Impact Area A also shift the road at  Impact Area B? Would a shift of the road at Impact Area B also shift the Road at Impact Area A? Would a shift of  the Road at Impact Area B also shift the Road at Impact Area C?  Design speed is 40 mph for Horton Ridge Blvd.  As mentioned above, the Town of Apex design criteria dictates  how quickly the road can transition from curve to curve and the location of each end’s tie in (south and  east).  As a result, shifting the alignment to reduce impacts at one or multiple locations is not practicable.     Please submit the above information within 30 days of receipt of this Notification or we may consider your application  withdrawn and close the file. Please email (George.L.Phillips@usace.army.mil) me if you have any questions.    Lyle Phillips  Regulatory Specialist  US Army Corps of Engineers  CE‐SAW‐RG‐R
