Jurisdictional Delineation
On February 11, 2014, CWS scientists Gregg Antemann, Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS) and
Thomas Blackwell, PWS, delineated (flagged in the field) jurisdictional waters of the U.S within the
project area. This investigation was conducted according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual4, the 2007 USACE Jurisdictional Determination Form

,site wetland areas ;is attached (DPI). A Wetland Determination Data Form representative of'non-
jurisdictional upland areas is also attached (15P,2) The locations of these da_ta`points are identified as
DPI and DP2 on Figure 7 (attached) The limits of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were mapped
using a sub -meter capable GPS unit'.
Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to recent USACE and North Carolina
Division of Water Resources ( NCDWR) guidance. These classifications included sampling with a D-
shaped dip net, taking photographs, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which a channel
changes classification) within each on -site stream channel. NCDWR Stream Classification Forms
representative of Streams A to B are attached (SCP1 to SCP2) The location of these stream
classification points are identified as SCP1 to SCP2 on Figure 7 (attached).
The results of the on -site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that'there are two jurisdictional
stream channels (Streams A and.B) and two jurisdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA and BB) located

Wetlands
The USACE,and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define wetlands as. "Those�areas that'are
inundated or saturated by'surface or- ground water at,a frequency and duration sufficientto support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions. "9 The USACE uses three parameters to identify jurisdictional wetlands These parameters are as
follows. 1) Hydrophytic Vegetation, 2) Wetland Hydrology, and 3) Hydric Soils_ Except in certain atypical
situations, all three parameters must be present in order for an area to be determined to be ajunsdictional
wetland. This section describes each on -site jurisdictional wetland and the field observations that led to their
determinations
Wetlands AA and BB are approximately 0 65 and 0.022 acre in extent, respectively. Wetlands AA and BB
are forested, floodplain wetlands Wetland AA is located directly abutting Perennial RP-W Stream A in the
northern portion of the site and Wetland BB is located directly abutting Perennial RPW Stream B in the
southern portion of the site (Figure 7, attached). Wetlands AA and BB exhibit low chroma soils (2 5Y 6/2),
surface water up to three Inches, drainage patterns, redox concentrations, saturation within the upper 12
inches of the soil profile, water - stained leaves, and oxidized rhizospheres on living roots. Dominant
vegetation in these wetlands includes red maple (Aces rubrum), sweetguth (Liquidambar styraciva), green
ash (Fraxmus pennsylvanica), tag alder (Alms serrulata), and possomhaw (Vib"urnum nudum), A Wetland
Determination Data Form' representative of Wetlands AA and BB is attached as DPI. Photographs E,and F
(attached) are representative of Wetlands AA and BB, respectively
Wetland Assessment
A wetland assessment was performed by CWS biologists on March 4, 2014 using the North Carolina
Wetland Assessment,Methodology, (N,CWAM)10 NCWAM is a methodology used to determine the
level of function ,of an assessed wetland relative to its undisturbed, natural reference condition The
assessment took into account three main wetland functions, hydrology, water,quality, and habitat; in
order to derive an- overall rating of the assessed wetland The results, of this assessment are presented
in the following text and attached NCWAM wetland rating sheet
Wetlands AA and BB were determined to be a Bottomland Hardwood Forest wetland type.
Bottomland Hardwood Forest wetlands are generally located in geomorphicafloodplains of second -
order and larger streams'and are,usually intermittently, to seasonally inundated This wetland type
usually supports habitat of a dense tree canopy layer, a moderately dense mid -story canopy layer, and
sparse shrub and' herbaceous layers. The water quality and hydrology functions of this wetland type
rely largely upon overland flooding due to local topography and Its adjacent and abutting tributaries'
ability to overbank flood. These functions are essential for wetland water retention and filtration
abilities.
The assessment,concluded that the habitat present in Wetlands,AA and BB is moderately aligned with
a natural, undisturbed Bottomland Hardwood, Forest wetland condition and therefore scored a
MEDIUM score for the habitat condition. However, due to the proximity of a major road (Jake
Alexander Boulevard) and commercial parking lots, the localized topography is highly altered and the,
on -site wetlands have experienced severely disturbed overland flooding. Additionally, the adjacent
and abutting tributaries to Wetlands AA and BB are deeply incised and have been channelized in the

past,, thus "severely altering their ability to overbank flood under normal conditions, The hydrology
and water,quality functions of Wetlands AA and BB are greatly misaligned'from a natural, undisturbed
Bottomland `Hard`wood Forest wetland condition and therefore scored a LOW for both functions
Based on the NCWAM, the overall wetland rating for Wetlands AA and BB is LOW A NCWAM

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
AJetter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on February 14, 2014 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural „historic, or archaeological significance that would
be affected by'the project. In a response dated March 4, 2014 SHPO stated "We have conducted a
review, of the project and are aware of no'historic resources which would'be affected by the project.
Therefore, we have no comment on the project as proposed.” A copy of the correspondence is
attached.
Protected Species
A letter'was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program ( NCNHP) on February 14,
2014 to determine the presence of any federally - listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or
critical habitat located within the project area In a response dated February 24, 2014, NCNHP stated
"The Natural Heritage Program does not have any records for rare species, important natural
communities, significant natural heritage areas (SNHAs), or conservation/inanaged lands within the
proposed,project area, or within one mile of'the proposed project area." A copy of the correspondence
is attached.
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of the proposed project is to expand the existing Auto House automobile dealership to
include new service bays, a new paint and detail shop, and additional sales forecourt space. The
proposed expansion will allow the existing business to maximize the use of this site and allow the
business to meet increased demand
The,expansion is necessary as the business has outgrown the existing facilities on the site Expanding
the existing dealership will allow Auto House to remain in its existing location while improving its
service facilities and forecourt space
Avoidance and Minimization /Alternatives Analysis
In an attemptto minimize impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters while still meeting the goals of the
project, an extensive alternatives analysis was conducted for this project. Alternatives that received
consideration and the rationale for selecting the preferred alternative are described below. Alternatives
One and Two are summarized in Table 4.
No -Build Alternative: This alternative would not provide the additional space required for the
expansion of'the business Since the business has outgrown its existing space,expansion is necessary.,
Therefore, the No -Build Alternative was eliminated from further consideration.
Relocation Alternative: This alternative would relocate the business from its existing location to a
new site Relocation of the business would be prohibitively expensive as'it would require the
construction of a completely new facility, in addition to the purchase of anew site In addition, the
dealership is currently situated in a very favorable location in close proximity to numerous other

Auto House of Salisbury Expansion March 28, 2014
Section 404 Individual Permit Application CWS Project No. 2014 -3282
automobile dealerships (Figure 3, attached) Similarly situated sites are in,short supply and come at a
premium in terms of'price. For these reasons the Relocation Alternative was eliminated from further
consideration
Original Expansion Alternative One: This alternative, would expand the dealership to the east
Additional car lot space would be constructed along Jake Alexander Boulevard to the east of,the
existing lot A new seven -bay paint and detail shop would also be constructed to the east of the
existing facility Stonnwater facilities would be located to the rear of the property. Expansion
Alternative One would result in approximately 142 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and
approximately, 0.56 acre,of permanent wetland impacts. Impacts associated with Expansion
Alternative One are shown on Figure 8
Expansion Alternative'Two (preferred alternative): 'The preferred alternative would expand the
dealerships road frontage along Jake Alexander Boulevard and additional expansionwould occur at
the rear of the property in an effort to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. including
wetlands Following an initial assessment of the site, Auto House purchased additional land at the rear
of the property as part of their effort to minimize impacts Expansion Alternative Two would result
in approximately 142 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and approximately 0.497 acre of
permanent wetland impacts. Alternative Two was selected as the preferred alternative as it
minimizes impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. while still meeting the project goals. Impacts
associated with Expansion Alternative Two are shown on Figure 9 (attached). A site plan sheet is also
attached.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
The overall project will involve the expansion of the existing car dealership to the east and north and
the addition of`storinwater detention facilities Retaining walls will be used to minimize impacts to
jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
Unavoidable impacts to Jurisdictional Waters of the U S total approximately 142 linear feet of permanent
stream impacts, and approximately 0 498 acre of permanent wetland impacts (Figure 9, attached).
Proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters of the US are summarized in Table 5, below.
Stream Impacts
Permanent.impacts to Perennial RPW Stream B total 142 linear feet and are,the result of extending the
existing pipe downstream to facilitate,the expansion of the car dealership. The existing 30" Reinforced
Concrete Pipe (RCP) will be extended downstream by 1,42' linear feet Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream
B are shown on Figure 9 (attached).
Wetland Impacts
Proposed impacts to on-site jurisdictional wetlands total approximately 0.497 acre These impacts are the
result of the placement of fill within the wetland and are necessary to facilitate the expansion of the car
dealership and the construction of the -required, stormwater attenuation facilities. Impacts to Wetland AA

Proposed Stream impacts total 142 linear feet. Therefore, no stream mitigation is proposed for this
project. Proposed wetland impacts total approximately 0 497 acre of low quality forested wetlands.
The existing on -site wetlands are of low quality. There are few large mature trees present and there is
also evidence of drainage ditches present. In addition, 0.04 acre of the proposed wetland impacts will
be to existing, naturalized sediment basins located within the floodplain of Town Creek Due to the
relatively poor quality �of the impacted wetlands our client proposes to mitigate for unavoidable
wetland impacts at �a L I ratio There are no private mitigation banks available within the 8 -digit
hydrologic unit code for this project. Therefore, our - client has applied for mitigation credits from the
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) A copy of the mitigation acceptance
letter from the NCEEP is attached.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each
characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the
worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. if a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or
weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character
of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more
continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score
of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Dear Ms. Thames:
Thank you for your interest' in information from the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database
regarding the proposed project referenced above. The Natural Heritage Program does not have „any
records for rare species, important natural communities, significant natural heritage areas (SNHAs), or
conservation /managed lands :within'the proposed project area, -or within one mile of the proposed
project area.
Please note that although we may not be aware of natural heritage elements within the project area, it
does not necessarily mean that'they,are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been
surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys
where they are needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species or
important natural communities.
You may wish to visit the NCNHP website (www.ncnhp.org) that offers access to data and other
information on rare species, natural communities, significant natural areas, and lands- managed for
conservation. The NCNHP online map viewer currently available shows boundaries of SNHAs and
conservation /managed areas, and can be searched for records within one mile to five miles of the
proposed project location.
Please feel free to contact me at 919 -707 -8629 or Allison.W,eakley @ncdenr.gov if you have questions,or
need more information.
Sincerely,

❑ LOffice, (Desk) Determination Date
® Field Determination. Date(s) February 11, 2014
1 The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to

request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time-
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit, applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following- (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters, (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms, and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that °basing a permit authorization on an, approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a ,permit , authorizatioon and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms,and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary, (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of`the
preliminary JD, but,that either form of JD will be processed' as soon as is
practicable, (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the�,United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court, and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as,soon as is practicable Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively, appealed ,pursuant to 33 C F' R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C F R 331 5(a)(2)) If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists, over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as, is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information
