In order to compensate for impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be provided in accordance with the provisions outlined on the most recent version of the attached Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form. The requirements of this form, including any special conditions listed on this form, are hereby incorporated as special conditions of this permit authorization. 2. Stream CH 100 must be relocated using natural channel design techniques. The approved stream relocation is shown on Permit Figures 7 and 8 of the enclosed plans. This stream must be relocated according to the plans and descriptions shown on Permit Figures 8 through 20 of the enclosed plans. These activities shall be completed no later than May 31, 2022. Once the stream relocation work is complete, you must submit an initial report within 30 days detailing the work completed, including a photograph record sufficient to document the entirety of the stream relocation reach. 3. Following submittal of the initial report (see Special Condition 2), the relocated stream shall be monitored annually, and an annual report submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office (Corps) no later than December 31st of each year. The monitoring report shall include photographs of re -occurring vegetation plots to assess plant survival, and collection and analysis of data to assess stability of the longitudinal profile and four marked cross sections. Over the life of the monitoring period, two bankfull events shall be documented, if available. Monitoring shall continue for a minimum of five years or until the Corps determines that monitoring can be discontinued. 4. If, after the monitoring period has concluded, the stream relocation is not successful for any reason, including due to erosion, instability, or hydrology insufficient to render the feature jurisdictional according to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Corps will require contingency measures. Contingencies may include re-evaluation of this Nationwide Permit 39 authorization pertaining to compensatory mitigation requirements for Impacts S1 through S4. 5. Groundwater base flow below the authorized impact limits at Impacts W4 and S4/W5 must be maintained per the filtered trench drains as shown on Permit Figure 6 (i.e. "Filtered Trench Drain @ Wetland Disturbances") of the enclosed plans. 6. The temporary stream impacts proposed at the three open -cut sewer line crossings (S5, S6, and S7) must be installed in the dry. Stream substrate must be excavated and stockpiled separately from soil and other material not compatible with stream substrate. Following sewer line installation, these streams must be restored by reconstructing the stream channel bed and banks to the pre-existing channel dimensions, with suitable stockpiled stream substrate placed back into the stream bed. The stream banks must be stabilized with a regionally appropriate native seed mix and coir matting. SAW-2019-02059 7. Please note that future impacts and/or phases of the Reedy Fork commercial/industrial development, and related activities associated with Corps Action ID: SAW-2019-02059, may be considered part of a single and complete project; these impacts may be considered cumulative with impacts authorized during earlier phases with respect to compensatory mitigation and Nationwide Permit thresholds.

Explain: B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION. There Are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required] 1. Waters of the U.S. a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply): 1 ❑ TNWs, including territorial seas ❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs ® Relatively permanent watersz (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ® Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs ❑ Impoundments of jurisdictional waters ❑ Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area: Non -wetland waters: 2680 linear feet, 1-5 wide, and/or acres. Wetlands: 0.345 acres. c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: 1987 Delineation Manual Elevation of established OHWM (if known): Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3 ❑ Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS 1 Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). s Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. -2- A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section I LAA and Section IH.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections I LAA and 2 and Section HI.D.1.; otherwise, see Section I LB below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent' B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section HLD.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section I LDA. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section HI.B.1 for the tributary, Section I LB.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section HLC below. 1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: 32 acres Drainage area: 7 acres Average annual rainfall: 39.25 inches Average annual snowfall: 6 inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ❑ Tributary flows directly into TNW. ® Tributary flows through 3 tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are 15-20 river miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) river miles from RPW. Project waters are 10-15 aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: Identify flow route to TNW': CH 700 (seasonal RPW) to Stream 5 (RPW) to Reedy Fork (RPW) to Haw River (TNW) Tributary stream order, if known: I' 4 Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and West. 'Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW. -3- (b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that aply): Tributary is: ® Natural ❑ Artificial (man-made). Explain: ❑ Manipulated (man -altered). Explain: Tributary properties with respect to top of bank (estimate): Average width: 4 feet Average depth: 1 feet Average side slopes: Vertical (1:1 or less). Primary tributary substrate composition (check all that apply): ❑ Silts ® Sands ❑ Concrete ® Cobbles ® Gravel ❑ Muck ® Bedrock ❑ Vegetation. Type/% cover. ❑ Other. Explain: Tributary condition/stability [e.g., highly eroding, sloughing banks]. Explain: relatively stable, though with some eroding banks in bends Presence of run/riffle/pool complexes. Explain: present but weak Tributary geometry: Meandering Tributary gradient (approximate average slope): 1-2 % (c) Flow: Tributary provides for: Seasonal flow Estimate average number of flow events in review area/year: 6-10 Describe flow regime: flow during low Et periods of the year and in high Et times of the years followng rainfall Other information on duration and volume: Surface flow is: Confined. Characteristics: Confined to banks due to incised reach Subsurface flow: Unknown. Explain findings: ❑ Dye (or other) test performed: Tributary has (check all that apply): ® Bed and banks ® OHWM6 (check all indicators that apply): ® clear, natural line impressed on the bank ® changes in the character of soil ® shelving ❑ vegetation matted down, bent, or absent ® leaf litter disturbed or washed away ❑ sediment deposition ❑ water staining ❑ other (list): ❑ Discontinuous OHWM' Explain: ❑ the presence of litter and debris ® destruction of terrestrial vegetation ❑ the presence of wrack line ® sediment sorting ❑ scour ® multiple observed or predicted flow events ❑ abrupt change in plant community If factors other than the OHWM were used to determine lateral extent of CWA jurisdiction (check all that apply): ❑ High Tide Line indicated by: ❑ Mean High Water Mark indicated by: ❑ oil or scum line along shore objects ❑ survey to available datum; ❑ fine shell or debris deposits (foreshore) ❑ physical markings; ❑ physical markings/characteristics ❑ vegetation lines/changes in vegetation types. ❑ tidal gauges ❑ other (list): (iii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.). Explain: Water clear on site visit days. But feature occurs along the edges of a previously active pasture, with signs of cattle intrusion and resulting unstable banks. 6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break. 'Ibid. -4- Identify specific pollutants, if known: Likely nutrient addition from cattle waste until recently. Sediment loading still likely due to eroding bank sections. (iv) Biological Characteristics. Channel supports (check all that apply): ® Riparian corridor. Characteristics (type, average width): 25-75' wide mixed hardwood forest ® Wetland fringe.

(ii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize wetland system (e.g., water color is clear, brown, oil film on surface; water quality; general watershed characteristics; etc.). Explain: No surface water in wetland, and seepage water appeared clear. However, feature occurs along the edges of a previously active pasture with signs of cattle intrusion Identify specific pollutants, if known: Likely nutrient addition from cattle waste until recently.

Characteristics of all wetlands adjacent to the tributary (if any) All wetland(s) being considered in the cumulative analysis: 1 -5- Approximately 0.103 acres in total are being considered in the cumulative analysis. For each wetland, specify the following: Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Wetland 7000 (Y) 0.103 Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: Wetland WL 7000 and others in similar landscape position receive preciptation-derived- and ground- water from surrounding land, retain water, physically trap and retain sediment and allow biogeochemical anaerobic processes (i.e. denitrification) to occur to improve water quality, and serve as groundwater recharge areas. These headwater wetlands serve asseasonal food sources/cover for a variety of typical wildland/urban interface wildlife species. C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section IILD: Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs.

Check all that apply and provide size estimates in review area: ❑ TNWs: linear feet, wide, Or acres. ❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs: acres. RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. ® Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that tributary is perennial: Streams CH 100, 400, 500, and 600 were all determined to flow year-round by the consultant (Atlas Env.), occur within natural topographic drainages, and have continuous bed and banks and indicators of -6- Ordinary High Water Marks including: clear, natural line impressed on the bank; the presence of litter and debris; changes in the character of soil including hydric soils observed within and on the edges of the channel; destruction of terrestrial vegetation; shelving; vegetation matted down, bent, or absent; sediment sorting; leaf litter disturbed or washed away; scour; sediment deposition; and multiple observed flow events. ® Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year) are jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.B. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows seasonally: Stream CH 700 occurs in a natural topographic drainage, was determined to have a seasonal flow regime by the consultant (Atlas Env.), and has a bed and bank and indicators of OHWM as described in Section III.13.1(ii)(c).

Identify type(s) of waters: Wetlands directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. ® Wetlands directly abut RPW and thus are jurisdictional as adjacent wetlands. ® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow year-round. Provide data and rationale indicating that tributary is perennial in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW: Wetlands WL1100,1200, 4300/4500, and 5000 all extend to the banks of perennial RPWs. ® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is seasonal in Section III.B and rationale in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW: Wetland WL 7000 extends to the banks of a seasonal RPW. Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 0.345 acres Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. ❑ Wetlands that do not directly abut an RPW, but when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisidictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section IILC. Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres. Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. ❑ Wetlands adjacent to such waters, and have when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section IILC. Provide estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres Impoundments of jurisdictional waters? As a general rule, the impoundment of a jurisdictional tributary remains jurisdictional. ❑ Demonstrate that impoundment was created from `waters of the U.S.," or ❑ Demonstrate that water meets the criteria for one of the categories presented above (1-6), or ❑ Demonstrate that water is isolated with a nexus to commerce (see E below).
