Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27604 Re: Peak City Business Park — Building 14 (Formerly 1200 James Street Property) SAW-2021-02402 Request for NWP 39 Sage Project #2019.111 On behalf of Peak City Partners, LLC (owner and applicant), please find attached a complete application and supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that the activities associated with the proposed development of the Peak City Business Park — Building 14 project (Project) may proceed under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39. A courtesy copy of this application is being furnished to NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) for the record only. Protect Purpose and Location The Project includes the construction of a single -story, office building for the applicant. The +/-4.09-acre tract is located at 1200 James Street, in Apex, Wake County. The coordinates of 35.7227°N, 78.8384°W generally correspond to the center of the Site. Protect Detail The site previously contained a residence that has been demolished and removed. The western two acres originally contained a pond that has been drained and wetlands have formed within the footprint. Surrounding areas are a mix of urban residential and commercial developments. The proposed Project consists of the construction of a single -story office building with parking and onsite SCM. Municipal sewer and water are available to the site. Access to the Site will be provided via James Street. Heavy equipment typically used for utility installation projects (e.g. backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized. No federally threatened or endangered species are listed to occur on or within 1 mile of the Project according to the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) Database (see attached report dated January 5, 2022). The Site itself is not listed as a historic property or within a historic district. There are 154 historic properties located within 1.0 mile of the Site based on a query of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO) database. However, the project will not be impacting any of these historic properties. Figure 4 depicts the locations of these properties in relation to the Site. NCSHPO may have comments during the permitting process but their comments should not prohibit the proposed activities on the Site. Protect History A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) site visit was conducted with Mr. Sean Clark of Sage Ecological Services and Mr. Lyle Phillips of USACE on December 2, 2021 (SAW-2021-02402). Mr. Phillips concurred with the wetland and stream delineation via email correspondence (attached). Peak City Business Park — Building 14 Page 1 of 2 Avoidance and Minimization This project has been designed to meet purpose and need while avoiding and minimizing impacts to onsite natural resources to the greatest extent practicable. There are 1.03 acres of onsite wetlands, of which 0.095 acre are proposed to be permanently impacted. There were no streams identified on the property. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts, while silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from runoff. Protect Impacts Total proposed wetland impacts are 0.095 acre as a result of fill and grading in wetlands. No other impacts are proposed. Mitigation No mitigation is proposed since permanent proposed wetland impacts are below mitigation requirements. If you have any questions, please call me at (919) 559-1537.

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: httgs://www.fws.gov/offices/Di rectory/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(a)ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

It may take 90-120 days for the issuance of a written jurisdictional determination. The delineation may be used for planning and permitting purposes, should a permit be required the JD can be issued and the time of permit verification. AID for the project is SAW-2021-02402. I have attached the "PJD Wetland & Stream Sketch Map" exhibit for reference. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
