A 25-foot landscape buffer would surround the proposed lease area. The proposed facility would be accessed via an approximate 205-foot long by 30-foot wide access/utility easement. The project area is shown on the construction drawings included in Attachment A. Background Based on our review of the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) data, the project area is mapped within a freshwater/forested shrub wetland system (PF04Bd). ECA subsequently completed a wetlands/waters determination/delineation for the project area and concluded that wetlands were present within a majority of the project area (see Attachment B). In anticipation that USACE and NCDWR review of the project would be required, ECA submitted a Pre -Filing Meeting Request Form for the proposed project on September 28, 2021 (see Attachment D). ECA received a response from NCDWR on October 29, 2021 indicating that our pre -filing meeting request had reached the 30 calendar days requirement and the application can now be accepted. Alpharetta, GA — Corporate Headquarters 11375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Page 2 Purpose ECA's client, Communications Tower Group, LLC is proposing to impact jurisdictional wetland areas through mechanized land clearing, excavation, and the placement of fill material in 0.098 acres of jurisdictional wetlands as part of the construction of a telecommunications facility compound and associated access drive. ECA has prepared this Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) to aid Communications Tower Group, LLC in obtaining the proper authorizations for placement of fill material into Waters of the United States (WOUS). Based on our review of the proposed undertaking, it appears that the proposed impacts would be permitted under a Nationwide Permit (N WP). Project Description Communications Tower Group, LLC proposes to install a 134-foot tall monopole telecommunications structure (overall height with appurtenances) within a proposed 100-foot by 100-foot lease area. A 25-foot landscape buffer would surround the lease area. The proposed facility would be accessed via an approximate 205-foot long by 30-foot wide access/utility easement. Associated ground -level equipment is also planned to be installed within the fenced compound area. Construction drawings provided by the applicant are included in Attachment A. Construction of the proposed facility would result in permanent impacts to 0.098 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. Impacts would result from mechanized land clearing and placement of fill within the proposed compound and access drive areas depicted on the construction drawings. Further, impacts would result from the placement of approximately 67 cubic yards of fill dirt (1,800 cubic feet), approximately 80 cubic yards of gravel (2,148 cubic feet), and approximately 7 cubic yards of concrete (180 cubic feet) within wetland areas, specifically for development of the proposed compound and access drive. Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation The selection of wireless telecommunications facilities is based primarily on the established grid within a specific service area. Within the service area, antenna structures have been previously constructed at specific nodes. As such, there is limited flexibility when selecting the exact locations of new facilities to allow for factors such as acceptable coverage, available sites, and sites which are environmentally sensitive. Factors considered in choosing the site location included RF coverage objectives, existing land use considerations, environmentally sensitive sites, and the willingness of individual land owners to enter into a contract for sale or lease of a suitable parcel of real estate for construction of the subject facility. ECA understands that Communications Tower Group, LLC has evaluated multiple alternative sites in order to meet the wireless telecommunications coverage objectives of their anchor carrier tenant, to reduce environmental impact to the extent possible, and to obtain local approvals within established zoning constraints. The New Hanover County Planning and Land Use Board of Commissoners issued a Special Use Permit on August 3, 2021 for the proposed undertaking. Their approval letter is included in Attachment C for reference. Alpharetta, GA — Corporate Headquarters 11375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Page 3 Based on these criteria and the feasibility of the site being accepted by all interested parties, the site located off The Cape Boulevard was determined to be the only feasible alternative in order to meet the project objectives. Though environmental impacts would occur as a result of the construction of the project at this site, impacts have been avoided where possible as outlined below. According to the Site Plans included in Attachment A, the project area includes a proposed 100- foot by 100-foot lease area and a proposed approximate 205-foot long by 30-foot wide access/utility easement. It is common for developers of telecommunications facilities to construct a fenced compound as large as a proposed lease area will allow. However, in order to minimize wetland impacts, Communications Tower Group, LLC plans only to construct a 1,200 square -foot fenced compound within the proposed lease area. In addition, Communications Tower Group, LLC plans to contruct only a 12-foot wide gravel access drive, thereby minimizing wetland impacts within the proposed access/utility easement. During construction of the proposed facility, impacts would be further minimized by limiting clearing (specifically mechanized land clearing) and fill placement to the extent possible. Additionally, stringent erosion and sediment control measures would be implemented to minimize the potential for impacts to surrounding wetlands due to sediment runoff. Based on the area of proposed wetland impacts (less than 0.1 acre) and the fact that impacts to wetlands are unavoidable in order to construct the proposed facility, no formal compensatory mitigation is proposed. Additional Information The Lease Agreement between Communications Tower Group, LLC and the parent parcel land owner is included in Attachment C. Authorization to access the property is also incorporated into the Lease Agreement included in Attachment C. A Pre -Construction Notification Form and a Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form are included in Attachment D. In anticipation that USACE and NCDWR review of the project would be required, ECA submitted a Pre -Filing Meeting Request Form for the proposed project on September 28, 2021 (see Attachment D). ECA received a response from NCDWR on October 29, 2021 indicating that our pre -filing meeting request had reached the 30 calendar days requirement and the application can now be accepted. Based on our visit and the resources reviewed, ECA determined that the proposed undertaking would have no effect on any federally listed or proposed threatened or endangered species with the exception of the northern long-eared bat. ECA determined that the proposed undertaking may affect the northern long-eared bat, but that incidental take is not prohibited per the 4(d) rule associated with the species. Our findings were provided to the Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office of the USFWS in a request for technical assistance letter dated September 28, 2021. The USFWS responded via email on September 28, 2021 stating "We concur with your determinations of No Effect for all listed species except the northern long-eared bat and we concur with your May Effect, but not likely to Adversely Affect determination for the bat" (see Attachment E). Additionally, no proposed threatened or endangered species are listed as Alpharetta, GA — Corporate Headquarters 11375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Page 4 occurring within New Hanover County, North Carolina and no critical habitat is mapped within or near the project area. The Communications Tower Review Form was completed for the proposed project and sent to the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office (NC SHPO) on August 10, 2021. On September 14, 2021, the NC SHPO issued a finding stating "The proposed communication tower will not affect historic properties" (see Attachment F). The New Tower Submission Packet (FCC Form 620), Section 106 Review documentation was prepared for the proposed undertaking. The Section 106 Review documentation found that the proposed telecommunications facility would have no effect on any Historic Properties (as described in the March 7, 2005 NPA). The Section 106 Review documentation was submitted to the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office on September 21, 2021. Conclusions and Recommendations Based on the information collected during this project, the resources reviewed, and our site inspections, ECA has determined that construction of the proposed facility would result in impacts to wetlands. ECA has prepared this documentation in order to receive a USACE Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination and the appropriate authorizations to impact 0.098 acres of wetlands. Based on the extent of the proposed impacts and the nature of the proposed project, ECA believes that the project would meet the criteria for authorization under a Nationwide Permit (NWP). The proposed impacts would be less than 0.10 acre and are unavoidable. Therefore, no formal compensatory mitigation is proposed. Ground disturbing activities would be limited to with the proposed project area (lease area and access/utility easement) and stringent erosion and sediment control measures would be implemented to minimize potential impacts for surrounding wetlands due to sediment runoff. As indicated on the Wilmington District of the USACE's website, ECA intends to submit this application for review utilizing the electronic Pre -Construction Notification (ePCN) form, thereby satisfying the USACE and NCDEQ reporting requirements for activities authorized through NWPs under Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act. The project area is located within the Coastal Zone of North Carolina, and therefore, the project is subject to the rules and policies of the Coastal Resource Commission. However, it is our understanding that the project area is not located within or within 75 feet of an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). Further, assuming that the USACE and NCDEQ agree that the project would be authorized under a NWP, an individual Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit would not be required.

RESOURCES September 13, 2021 Communications Tower Group, LLC 15720 Brixham Hill Ave., Suite 300 Charlotte, NC 28277 Attention: Mr. Erik Brooks Subj ect: Wetlands and Waters Determination/Delineation Proposed 130-Foot Tall Monopole Telecommunications Structure (Overall Height with Appurtenances) CTG-NC 0010081 (The Cape Blvd) Near 902 The Cape Boulevard Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina ECA Project #: X1755 Dear Mr. Brooks: Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) understands that Communications Tower Group, LLC is proposing to construct a fenced compound that would include a 130-foot tall monopole telecommunications structure (overall height including appurtenances) within a proposed 100- foot by 100-foot lease area. The proposed lease area would be surrounded by a 25-foot landscape buffer/tree preservation area and would be accessible by a proposed approximate 205-foot long by 30-foot wide access/utility easement. The proposed project area is shown on Figure 2 in Appendix A. Background Based on our review of the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) data, the project area is mapped within a freshwater/forested shrub wetland (PF04Bd). Therefore, Communications Tower Group, LLC retained ECA to perform a Wetlands and Waters Determination/Delineation at the project site. Purpose The purpose of the Wetlands and Waters Determination/Delineation was to delineate and characterize waters and wetlands that may be located within or adjacent to the project area in accordance with accepted U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidance, if any such areas exist. Atlanta, GA - Corporate Headquarters 1 1375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Mr. Erik Brooks Page 2 Scope of Work The following scope of work was completed to fulfill the project purpose: • A review of available soils data, topographic maps, surveys, and aerial photographs was conducted to obtain background information regarding site elevations, soil characteristics, site drainage, and vegetative cover. • Afield investigation was conducted to examine the project area for jurisdictional waters and to delineate jurisdictional waters and wetland boundaries, if jurisdictional areas were determined to be located on or immediately adjacent to the project site or access. • Jurisdictional waters and wetlands were identified in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, 1987, and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0), the only guidance currently acceptable for performing jurisdictional boundary determinations. • A report containing documentation of our work, our findings, our conclusions and any recommendations was prepared. Regulatory Discussion In order to protect valuable aquatic ecosystems, Congress jointly charged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which regulate the placement of dredge or fill materials into the jurisdictional waters of the United States, including wetlands. Title 33, Part 323 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 33 CFR § 323, contains permit conditions for placement of dredge and fill material into jurisdictional waters of the United States, including wetlands. At the federal level, the term waters of the United State (WOUS) was most recently redefined in the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR), effective June 22, 2020. On June 9, 2021, the EPA and USACE announced their intent to restore longstanding protections that were in -place for decades until 2015 and to revise the definition of WOUS. On August 30, 2021, the current NWPR was vacated and remanded in an order filed in the US District Court of Arizona. In light of this order, the EPA and USACE have halted implementation of the NWPR and are interpreting WOUS consistent with the pre-2015 regulatory regime until further notice. At the federal level, in accordance with pre-2015 regulatory guidance, the term waters of the United States include: 1. All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; Atlanta, GA - Corporate Headquarters 1 1375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Mr. Erik Brooks Page 3 2. All interstate waters including interstate wetlands; 3. All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degradation or destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce including any such waters: a. Which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes; or; b. From which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce; or; c. Which are used or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce; 4. All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the United States under this definition; 5. Tributaries of waters identified in the four preceding bullet points; 6. The territorial sea; 7. Wetlands adjacent to waters. 33 CFR § 328 defines wetlands as those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that do support, a prevalence of vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. ECA attempts to use best professional judgement when considering on -site conditions as well as the current guidance and regulations to make determinations of federal jurisdiction associated with waters or wetlands. It should be noted, however, that ECA's determination of jurisdiction is an opinion. The USACE, EPA and/or the appropriate designated agency (e.g. State environmental agency) would need to verify whether any waters or wetlands identified by ECA would be subject to jurisdiction. In practice, areas are classified as jurisdictional wetlands only if suitable soil, vegetation, and hydrological conditions are met. These conditions are that hydrology in an area be sufficient to result in hydric soil conditions, and that these hydric soils support vegetative species which occur more frequently in anaerobic soils than in aerobic soils. Detailed guidance for performing wetland determinations is provided in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, 1987, and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0). Location and Site Description The project area is located as shown on Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix A. The proposed lease area and a majority of the proposed access/utility easement are located within a densely vegetated, wooded area. The remainder of the proposed access/utility easement is occupied by maintained grass adjacent to Valley Brook Road. Surrounding areas are occupied by wooded land, a golf course, and residential development. Atlanta, GA - Corporate Headquarters 1 1375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Mr. Erik Brooks Page 4 Review of Resources ECA reviewed the Carolina Beach, NC (1997) USGS Topographic Quadrangle Map, 7.5-Minute series, aerial photography, and National Wetlands Inventory mapping. ECA also reviewed online soils data for New Hanover County, North Carolina. On -Site Determination - Wetlands Because field determination that a particular area is a jurisdictional wetland requires positive identification of three wetland characteristics (wetland hydrology, hydric soils, and hydrophytic vegetation), ECA investigated the project area for the presence of these three characteristics. The wetlands determination was performed by Parker Young of ECA on September 1, 2021. ECA collected data on physical and ecological characteristics from areas within the project area and on the parent tract. The data point locations are generally shown on Figure 2 of Attachment A. A discussion of our wetlands determination is provided in the following paragraphs. Soils To determine if wetland indicators were present, two data points, inclusive of soil test holes, were established in the approximate locations shown on Figure 2 of Attachment A (DP-1 and DP-2). The Wetland Data Forms completed for these data points are included in Attachment B. Soil was removed to a depth of approximately 16 inches at both data points. A profile of the surface strata was extracted from the holes using a shovel. The Munsell color of the soil removed from the test holes was determined and recorded on the Wetland Data Forms in Attachment B. Although only two test holes are described below, ECA inspected soils throughout the project area to ensure that the soils recorded on the data point forms herein were representative of on -site conditions. The assessment area was mapped by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) as the following soil type: • DP-1 and DP-2 —Dorovan soils (DO) The Dorovan series consists of very deep, very poorly drained, moderately permeable soils on densely forested floodplains, hardwood swamps, and depressions that formed in highly decomposed acid -organic materials. This soil type is listed as hydric when occurring in New Hanover County, North Carolina. Soil observed at DP-1 consisted of a layer of muck followed by 100% lOYR 2/2 sand from 0 to 2 inches. The soil matrix from approximately 2 to 16 inches consisted of 100% lOYR 2/1 sand. Based on our observations, hydric soil indicators, specifically 5 cm Mucky Mineral (A7) and 1 cm Muck (A9), were present and this data point would be characterized as hydric. Soil observed at DP-2 consisted of 100% lOYR 2/2 sand from 0 to 4 inches. The soil matrix Atlanta, GA - Corporate Headquarters 1 1375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Mr. Erik Brooks Page 5 from approximately 4 to 12 inches consisted of 100% 10YR 3/2 sand. The soil matrix from approximately 12 to 16 inches consisted of 100% 10YR 3/3 sand. Based on our observations, no hydric soil indicators were present and this data point would not be characterized as hydric. Hydrology ECA allowed each test hole to remain open for approximately 1/2-hour. Based on the presence of at least one primary wetland hydrology indicator, we would consider wetland hydrology to be present at DP-1. Specific primary wetland hydrology indicators observed included a High Water Table (A2), Saturation (A3), and Hydrogen Sulfide Odor (C1). The topographic location of DP-1 would also appear to satisfy the criteria for the Geomorphic Position (132) secondary hydrology indicator. No primary or secondary wetland hydrology indicators were present at DP-2. Vegetation ECA conducted a survey of the vegetative communities surrounding both data points. The vegetative community present was catalogued on the Wetland Data Forms included in Attachment B. ECA identified the species within the appropriate vegetation layers, which was most dominant based on aerial extent. The indicator status of plants that inhabit wetland environments are published in the 2018 National Wetland Plant List. ECA referenced the wetland indicator status of each identified plant species. Based on the published Federal wetland indicator status of the plants, more than 50% of the dominant species present surrounding both respective data points occur more frequently in wetlands than in non -wetlands, though DP-2 was determined to lie in uplands. However, it is not uncommon for uplands within the Atlantic Coastal Plain to contain a predominance of vegetation within the Facultative (FAC) or wetter status. On -Site Determination - Waters Based on our site visit and the information reviewed, surface waters were not found to be present within the boundaries of the assessment area. However, a stream feature (Telfairs Creek) was observed approximately 350 feet east and entirely outside the boundaries of the project area. The approximate location of this stream feature is as shown on Figure 2. Findings and Boundary Determination ECA determined that the appropriate criteria for a positive wetland determination under Federal regulations was present in the area represented by DP-1. ECA flagged the southern boundary of the identified wetland area (Wetland A) with pink and black striped wetland delineation flagging numbered A-001 through A-013. Based on our assessment, wetland areas are located within the entirety of the project area, with the exception of the most southern portion of the proposed access/utility easement near Valley Brook Road. The southern boundary of Wetland A is as Atlanta, GA - Corporate Headquarters 1 1375 Union Hill Industrial Court, Alpharetta, GA 30004 1 (770) 667-2040 1 www.eca-usa.com Mr. Erik Brooks Page 6 approximately shown on Figure 2 in Attachment A. The wetland area observed appeared to have a surface connection to Telfairs Creek approximately 350 feet east of the project area. Therefore, as the identified wetland area is located adjacent to a tributary, it would be considered a jurisdictional water of the US as defined under the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. The identified wetland area would also appear to have a significant nexus (an ecological and hydrological connection) with the Cape Fear River, a traditional navigable water of the United States. The significant nexus can be traced via water flow from the project area into Telfairs Creek and ultimately into the Cape Fear River, approximately 1.75 miles southwest of the project area. Therefore, the identified wetland area would also be considered a jurisdictional water of the US in accordance with pre-2015 regulatory guidance. No other potentially jurisdictional wetlands or waters were observed within the boundaries of the assessment area that would be subject to state or federal jurisdiction. Conclusions and Recommendations Based on the information review and observations made during our site visit, ECA has determined that the majority of the project area lies within a wetland, with the exception of a portion of the access/utility easement immediately north of Valley Brook Road. Only the governing agencies are able to confirm jurisdictional status of identified wetlands. Therefore, ECA recommends that the identified wetland boundaries be surveyed by a State of North Carolina licensed land surveyor and that USACE be consulted for a jurisdictional determination. Should impacts to the identified wetland area be proposed, ECA recommends that Communications Tower Group, LLC acquire the appropriate authorizations prior to the placement of any fill material, or excavation in jurisdictional waters/wetlands or mechanized clearing of vegetation in jurisdictional forested wetlands. Limitations of Study This Wetlands and Waters Determination/Delineation was conducted in accordance with generally accepted practices of the profession for such studies, conducted during the same time period and in the same geographical area as this study. ECA has exercised the same degree of care and skill generally exercised by environmental professionals under similar circumstances and conditions. No other warranty is expressed or implied. The observations, opinions, and conclusions presented are not scientific certainties, but are solely opinions based upon the information available to us and our professional judgment based upon that information.
