Subject: Revised PJD Request package for Brighton Park Subdivision site, Mount Pleasant, Cabarrus Co NC
Dear Steve,
Thank you for meeting with MMI staff at the above-referenced site on July 15. I have revised the PJD
Request package (previously submitted on May 19) to reflect the revisions that you approved during our
field verification visit. MMI environmental scientists first delineated, flagged, and mapped the streams and
wetlands on the property on April 13-14.
Brighton Park is an 85 acre property at the corner of NC-49 and NC-73 in Mount Pleasant, Cabarrus County,
NC. The project site comprises an undeveloped 78 acre parcel (fallow fields and woodland) plus three
single-family parcels to the northeast totaling 7 acres. Cabarrus County parcel numbers are # 566-056-4096,
# 566-056-6785, # 566-056-8647, and # 566-056-9681. It is in the Dutch Buffalo Creek sub-basin of the
Yadkin-PeeDee River basin, USGS HUC # 03040105-0304. The easiest access is from a short gravel driveway
along NC-49 on the north side of the property across from the intersection with Moose Rd (35.4093, -
80.4601).
Features Potentially Subject to Clean Water Act Regulation
McAllister Creek (Stream E) is a perennial stream 10 to 20 ft wide flowing southward for approximately
2,874 feet along the western edge of the property.
Stream D is an unnamed intermittent tributary originating in a seep on the west-central portion of the site
and flowing westward for approximately 475 feet into McAllister Creek.
Wetland B is a 0.35 acre forested headwater seep originating on the south-central portion of the site and
flowing southward. It drains into an off-site intermittent channel (Stream F), which in turn flows southward
into Wetland C, a 0.31 acre forested floodplain depression. Most of Wetland C is also off site;
approximately 0.05 acre of wetland C is on the subject property. The attached Preliminary JD map includes
these off-site stream and wetland reaches to demonstrate hydrologic connectivity.
Other Features Determined Not Subject to Clean Water Act Regulation
There are two drainageways on the northwest portion of the site draining westward to McAllister Creek
and two additional drainageways on the east side of the site draining eastward to an unnamed tributary of
Environmental Field Studies Wetland & Stream Delineation 404-401 Permits Mitigation Plans & Banking
MOGENSEN MITIGATION INC.
Adams Creek. Based on the July field verification visit you agreed that these drainageways are ephemeral
and not subject to Section 404 regulation. They have been removed from the attached figures.
The following attachments are included in support of this PJD Request:
1) Preliminary ORM Data Entry Fields Form
2) JD Request Form and Appendix 2 PJD Form
3) Agent authorization form signed by the landowner, ECB., LLC (Emmitt and Clint Black)
4) USGS Topographic Quadrangle map: Mount Pleasant. NC
5) USDA Soil Survey of Cabarrus County, Sheet 3 (1988)
6) Parcel Map (from Cabarrus County GIS)
7) Detailed topographic map of property (from Latham-Walters Engineering)
8) PJD Map: Potential Waters of the US
9) Wetland, Upland and Stream sample points map
10) DWR stream determination ID forms
11) Wetland and upland delineation data forms
The project design team will revise their preliminary site plan to minimize stream and wetland impacts
based on these revised maps. If impacts are unavoidable, we will submit a PCN at the appropriate time.
Sincerely,
Gerald Pottern, Senior Biologist

F.JURISDICTIONALDETERMINATION(JD) TYPE (SelectOne)
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminaryJDfor the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United States”on a property.
PJDsare sufficient as thebasis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional “waters of
the United States”. PJDs cannot be appealed(33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
“preliminary” in the sense that an approved JD can be requestedat any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide anapprovedJDfor the property identifiedherein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination(AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional “waters of the UnitedStates” or “navigable waters of the United
States”are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDsare sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable(33 C.F.R. 331.2).The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website.A landowner, permit applicant, or other “affected
party” (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations:
Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404
wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features.
Jurisdictional non-wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries,
impoundments) should be labeled as Non-Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary,
open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear
length of each of these features as appropriate.
Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non-
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non-Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non-jurisdictional (i.e.
“Isolated”, “No Significant Nexus”, or “Upland Feature”). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
Wetland and non-wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be

the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
