SUBJECT: PCN Application Argand Energy Solutions LLC, Kenansville Solar Farm
Gentlemen,
Please find enclosed five copies of the Pre - Construction Notification Application and supporting documentation
for Argand Kenansville Solar Farm. The application includes application fee, PCN Form, USGS Topographic Map, Soil
Survey Map, agent authorization, and Project Plans. Project Plans include Vicinity Map, Site Plans, Existing Conditions,
Proposed Plan, Grading Plan, Proposed Impacts, and Erosion Control Plan. The project is located in town limits of
Kenansville, Duplin County.
This project is being constructed on 27.93 acres of property owned by the Town of Kenansville. The town is
leasing the property to Argand Energy Solutions, LLC, who will be the facility developer, owner, and operator. The Town
of Kenansville has authorized the undersigned as their agent in securing environmental permits. Argand proposes to
construct a photovoltaic array and has taken steps to minimize impact to the 4.6 acres of jurisdictional wetlands located
on the project site. Argand's design minimizes the number of panels encroaching upon the wetland. Argand's design
prevents all trenching within the wetlands by mounting the electrical conductors to the pv array frame over the
wetlands. Argand's design requires any post located within the wetland to be vibratory driven to minimize disturbance
to the soil or any standing water. Work within the wetlands will be limited to large rubber tired equipment or working
from mats. Appropriate erosion control devices will be installed to prevent sediment laden runoff from entering the
onsite wetlands. An application for an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit has been submitted to the state. A
PCN has been submitted to Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers.
There are no streams on the project site. The project is not within a State Riparian Buffer Rule Area. The project
does not require a Stormwater Management Plan.
If you have any question or need additional information, please contact me at
Steve @iimblanchardassociates.com or (910) 271 -0613.
Sincerely,

Description
Erosion; factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water. Factor K'is one of siz factors used in the Universal Soil Loss.Equation (USLE)
and, the Revised Universal Soil,Loss,Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average
annual rate of soil loss by -sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The
estimates. are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand, and organic matter and
on soilatructure and'saturated"hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). Values.of K range from
0.02 to 0.69. Otherfactors,being equal, the higher the value, the more susceptible
the.soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water:
"Erosion factor.Kf (rock free)" indicates the erodibility of the fine -earth fraction, or
the material less than •2 ,millimeters in size.

Description
"Water table" refers to a saturated zone in the soil. It occurs during specified
months. Estimates ofttie upper limit are,.based mainly on observations of the water
table at selected sites and on, evidence of a saturated zone, namely grayish colors
(redoximorphic features)'irrthe:soiI..A saturated zone.that lasts for less than a month
is not considered a water - table.
This attribute is'actually recorded as three sepa rate, values in the,datal ase: A low =
value and a high value ,indicate the range of this attribute'for the soil component. A
"representative" value indicates the expected value of•this attribute for the
component. For thiss soil property; only the representative value is used.
