Approximate 47 Acre Tract

Marshville, Union County, North Carolina
PEI Project No. 1291
Dear Mr. Bunge:
Pilot Environmental, Inc. (PEI) is pleased to submit this report of the wetland delineation for the
approximate 47 acre tract located at 1514 Old Highway 74 in Marshville, Union County, North
Carolina.
Background
Wetlands are defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "those areas that are inundated or saturated
by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal
circumstances, do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions." In order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology indicators must be present.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials into waters
of the United States (lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc.), including wetlands. Waters of the United
States include the territorial seas, navigable coastal and inland lakes, rivers and streams,
intermittent streams, and wetlands. The EPA and the USACE jointly administer the Section 404
program. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act grants each state the authority to approve,
condition, or deny any Federal permits that could result in a discharge to State waters.
Jurisdictional features include wetlands, open waters, ponds, lakes and perennial/intermittent
streams. Jurisdictional features are regulated by the USACE and the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources -Division of Water Resources (NCDENR-DWR). Permits are
required prior to impacting any jurisdictional feature. The type of permit required is specific to
PO Box 128, Kernersville, NC 27285
www. ilotenviro.com

Wetland Delineation
PEI Project No. 1291

the type, location and amount of impacts. Stormwater management plans and/or mitigation for
proposed impacts could be a requirement of the permit approval process.
The findings and conclusions found in this report are our opinions based on field conditions
encountered at the time of the site visit. Changes including, but not limited to, regulations,
weather, timber/vegetation removal and usage/development of the site or nearby properties
can alter the findings and opinions presented in this report. We recommend that this report only
be used for preliminary planning purposes. Agency verifications, followed by a survey of
jurisdictional features are required to determine the exact extent and locations of jurisdictional
features and are valid for a period of up to five years following issuance of a USACE Jurisdictional
Determination (JD) and/or NCDENR-DWR Site Determination Letter.
Scope of Services
PEI was contracted to perform a wetland delineation for the approximate 47 acre tract located at
1514 Old Highway 74 in Marshville, Union County, North Carolina. The site includes portions of
two parcels identified by the Union County Geographical Information System (GIS) as Parcel
Identification Numbers (PINS) 02180012 and 02180012C. The site is being evaluated for proposed
development with a solar farm. The scope of services included a delineation of jurisdictional
features (streams, wetlands and other surface waters) on the site. The site boundaries were not
surveyed at the time of our field delineation.
PEI was also contracted to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and a Limited
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Review in conjunction with the stream/wetland
delineation. Details of these investigations are included in separate reports.
Literature Review
We reviewed the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Soil Survey of Union County, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).
• The USGS Topographic Map (Drawing 1) depicts an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Creek on
the western portion of the site. Additionally, a pond and an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam
Creek are shown on the northeastern portion of the site. The map does not depict other surface
waters or wetlands on the site.
• The USDA Web Soil Survey of Union County (Drawing 2) identifies the following soils on the site:
Badin channery silt loam (BaB), Cid channery silt loam (CmB), Goldston-Badin Complex (GsB) and
Misenheimer-Cid Complex (MhA). The Badin series consists of well drained, moderately
permeable soils that occur on piedmont uplands. The Cid series consists of moderately well
iA

Wetland Delineation
PEI Project No. 1291
February 13, 2015
drained or somewhat poorly drained, moderately slow permeable soils that occur on piedmont
uplands. The Goldston series consist of well drained to excessively well drained, moderately
rapid permeable soils that occur on piedmont uplands. The Misenheimer series consist of
moderately well drained and somewhat poorly drained, moderately rapid permeable spoils that
occur on nearly level to sloping broad ridges, in depressions and around the heads of drainage -
ways in the Piedmont. The soil mapping units on the site are not identified on the Union County
Hydric Soils List.
PEI also reviewed the last published USDA Soil Survey of Union County (Drawing 2A). The map
depicts an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Creek on the southwest portion of the site. Other
surface waters or wetland are not shown on the site.
• PEI reviewed the USFWS NWI Map (Drawing 3) for the site. The NWI map does not identify
surface waters or wetlands on the site.
• PEI reviewed the FEMA FIRM (Drawing 4) for the site. The FEMA map identifies the site as Zone
X, an area outside the 100 year floodplain.
Field Delineation
PEI personnel conducted the field delineation on January 19, 2015. The site contains pasture and
wooded land. An agricultural building (horse barn) is located on the northern portion of the site.
Ponds are not located on the site.
A stream is located on the western portion of the site. The stream has a defined bed and banks,
meanders, evidence of an ordinary high water mark and contained flowing water at the time of
our site visit. Scuds were observed in the stream. Other aquatic life was not observed in the
stream. Based on our observations, it is our opinion that the stream is intermittent. The
centerline of the stream was marked in the field with blue and white striped surveyor tape.
A non -jurisdictional ditch is located on the northern portion of the site. The non -jurisdictional
ditch did not have defined banks or evidence of an ordinary high water mark. Vegetation,
including Festuca arundinacea, Plantago major and luncus effusus was observed in the bed of
the feature. The non -jurisdictional ditch was not marked in the field.
Wetlands are not located on the site. Wetland hydrology indicators and a prevalence of
hydrophytic vegetation were observed on several areas of the site. However, soils on the site
are bright and well drained. A USACE Wetland Determination Data Form, supporting our opinion,
is included as an attachment.

Watershed Classification/Buffer Requirements
According to the NCDENR-DWR, the site is located in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The stream
located on the site is not subject to State regulated riparian buffer requirements.
An unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Creek is located on the site. The NCDENR has classified
Beaverdam Creek as WS-IV, in the vicinity of the site. According to the NCDENR-DWR Red Book,
"minimum 100 foot vegetative buffers are required for all new development activities that
exceed the low density option requirements as specified in Sub -Item (3)(b)(i)(A) or Sub -Item
(3)(b)(ii)(A) of this Rule, otherwise a minimum 30 foot vegetative buffer for development shall be
required along all perennial waters indicated on the most recent versions of U.S.G.S. 1:24,000
(7.5 minute) scale topographic maps or as determined by local government studies." PEI is not
aware of local government studies within the site area. Further, the most recent USGS map
identifies the stream on the site as intermittent and does not identify perennial waters on the
site. Therefore, mandatory stormwater vegetative buffers and/or setbacks are not required by
the NCDENR.
According to the Union County GIS website, the eastern parcel that contains a portion of the site
is located within the Town of Marshville's extra -territorial jurisdiction and the western parcel
that contains a portion of the site is located within Union County's jurisdiction. Therefore,
determination of zoning jurisdiction could affect potential surface water buffers/setbacks.
However, based upon our review of the Union County and Marshville Land Development
Ordinances, requirements for surface water buffers/setbacks are similar. According to the
ordinances, the site is not located within a designated water supply watershed as determined by
the State/local municipality. Therefore, based on our review of the ordinances, local
buffers/setbacks are not required adjacent to the stream located on the site.
According to the NCDENR-DWR Interactive Stormwater Map, the site is located in an area
identified as State Permitting Authority. We recommend consultation with the NCDENR to
determine if the proposed development on the site requires development buffers/setbacks from
surface waters for compliance with State stormwater requirements.
Agency Verification
The field delineation was verified in the field by Mr. William Elliott with the USACE on February
10, 2015. Mr. Elliott concurred with the field delineation as depicted on the attached Drawing 5.
Drawing 5 shows the approximate locations of the site, stream, data point location and our flag
numbers. Drawing 5 should only be used for preliminary planning purposes. We understand that
our flags will be surveyed to determine the exact extent and locations of jurisdictional features
and subsequent vegetative buffers. Upon receipt of a wetland plat prepared by a N.C. Licensed
Surveyor, PEI will review it and submit it to the USACE for final written concurrence. If a wetland
