Prepared For: North Carolina National Guard 1636 Gold Star Dr. Raleigh, NC 27607 NCNG JFHQ Helipad Waters of the US Delineation Package January 2019 Prepared By: TIMMONS GROUP .•••••� YOUR VISION ACHIEVED THROUGH OURS. • • 5410 Trinity Road, Suite 102 Raleigh, North Carolina 27607 phone: 919.866.4951 fax: 919.859.5663 www.timmons.com Timmons Group Project No. 42866 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On behalf of the North Carolina National Guard, Timmons Group environmental scientist Chris Inscore, AWB and environmental technician Morgan Gilbert conducted a field delineation on January 2, 2019 to identify potential jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) and wetlands within the project study limits of the NCNG JFHQ Helipad project (Site). The Site encompasses approximately 14.01 acres and is located in the City of Raleigh, North Carolina, within Wake County. The Site is bound by District Road to the north. To the south, the Site is bound by Wade Avenue. To the west, the Site is bound by a forested upland area and commercial development. To the east, the Site is bound by commercial development. The western portion of the Site contains a stream feature and a sanitary sewer line. Approximately 70% of the Site is comprised of forested areas, while 15% contains early successional growth. The remaining of the Site 15% contains a maintained transmission line right-of-way located along the eastern edge of the Site boundary. The Site contains two non - jurisdictional rip rap ditches that drain to a stream feature located along the eastern property boundary. The Site is located within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 030202010803) within the Middle Crabtree Creek — Neuse sub -watershed. The Site drains northwest into Richlands Creek. The Site does not contain a floodway or 100-year floodplain according to NC FIRM Map 3720084100J (map revised May 2, 2006). The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual; the Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0) and subsequently issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of jurisdictional stream channels through the recognition of field indicators of an ordinary high- water mark within drainage features (Environmental Laboratory, 1987; USACE 2012; USACE 2005). In addition, streams were delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Stream and Their Origins (Version 4.11). Using these methodologies, preliminary delineation mapping was produced and is included along with the attached Site description and discussion for your review. Flagging or marking of the WOTUS and wetlands boundaries was conducted in the field during this effort. During our delineation, one perennial stream that is approximately 289 linear feet was identified within the Site.

The Site is located at the western terminus of District Drive in Raleigh, North Carolina, within Wake County (see Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The Site is located within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 030202010803) within the Middle Crabtree Creek - Neuse sub -watershed. The Site does not contain a floodway or 100- year floodplain according to NC FIRM Map 3720084100J (map revised May 2, 2006). The Site is in the Piedmont Physiographic Province. 3.2 Site Description The Site contains mostly forested areas with a few sections of early successional growth. There is a stream feature located along the western property boundary. In addition, there is a sanitary sewerline within the western section of the Site. Approximately 70% of the Site is comprised of forested areas, while 15% contains early successional growth. The remaining 15% of the Site contains a maintained transmission right-of-way (see Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The Site is bound by commercial development and District Road to the north. To the south, the Site is bound by Wade Avenue. To the east, the Site is bound by a forested upland area and commercial development. To the west, the Site is bound by commercial development. 4.0 METHODS OF DELINEATION 4.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review A review of publicly available resources was performed prior to the onsite field investigation to determine if there is the potential for jurisdictional areas, and if present, the extent of these areas located within the Site. These mapping resources generally include but are not limited to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils database, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database. 4.2 Field Investigation The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual; the Regional Supplement to the Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package NCNG JFHQ Helipad Timmons Group January 2019 Page 2 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0); and subsequently issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of jurisdictional stream channels through the recognition of field indicators of an ordinary high- water mark within drainage features (Environmental Laboratory, 1987; USACE 2012; USACE 2005). In addition, streams were delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Stream and Their Origins (Version 4.11). On January 2, 2019, jurisdictional feature boundaries were flagged with consecutively numbered pink and black ribbon at approximately 50-foot intervals. An NC DWQ Stream Identification Form (version 4.11) was completed adjacent to the jurisdictional boundary, providing geomorphology, hydrology, and biology data for stream determination. Features identified in the field were flagged and GPS located for the site. 5.0 DELINEATION FINDINGS 5.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review Findings Based on a review of the USGS topographic map, elevations at the Site range from 392 to 450 feet above mean sea level (MSL). One stream feature is shown on the USGS topographic map and the NRCS soil survey map as occurring within the Site (see Figure 1. Vicinity Map and Figure 5. NRCS Soil Survey Map). The NRCS soil survey identifies five soil mapping units within the study area (Table 1). One of the soil mapping units is listed as Hydric: ChA, the remainder are all characterized as non-hydric. Drainage classes within the study area are somewhat poorly drained (ChA) and well drained (CeB, CeC, PaD, and PaE). Table 1. Soils in the studv area Soil Series Mapping Drainage Class Hydric Unit Status Chewacla and Wehadkee soils, 0 to 2 percent ChA Somewhat poorly Hydric y slopes drained Cecil sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes CeB Well drained Non-hydric Cecil sandy loam, 6 to 10 percent slopes CeC Well drained Non-hydric Pacolet sandy loam, 10 to 15 percent slopes PaD Well drained Non-hydric Pacolet sandy loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes PaE Well drained Non-hydric Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package NCNG JFHQ Helipad Timmons Group January 2019 Page 3 5.2 Onsite Determination/Findings 5.2.1 Jurisdictional Area Summary The onsite delineation did not verify the presence of wetlands within the Site. However, stream features were verified on the Site. One jurisdictional stream was identified within the Site. A summary of the jurisdictional area identified onsite is provided below in Table 2. Jurisdictional Areas Summary. The location and size of the jurisdictional area delineated onsite is shown on Figure 6: Preliminary Jurisdictional Water of the U.S. Delineation Map. 1 Au1G G.

However, in general, the forested areas can be characterized as a mixed mesic hardwood and pine forest community that is dominated by Pinus taeda (loblolly pine), Ulmus alata (winged elm), Liquidambar styraciflua (sweetgum) species within the tree and sapling stratum. Other notable species observed within this community include but are not limited to the following: Acer rubrum (red maple) and Juniperus virginiana (eastern red cedar). No species were observed in the herb and vine stratums. 5.2.1.2 Jurisdictional Area Hydrology Primary and secondary wetland hydrology indicators were not observed within the Site. 5.2.1.3 Jurisdictional Area Soils Other than those immediately observed within the stream features, hydric soils were not identified within the Site. 5.3.1 Upland Area Summary Most of the upland areas located within the Site are characterized as mesic mixed hardwood forest with some pine interspersed on the ridgetops (see Figure 3. Environmental Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package Timmons Group NCNG JFHQ Helipad January 2019 Page 4 Inventory Map). Upland soils were typically medium brown (5YR 4/4) at 95% with traces of dark red (2.5YR 3/4) within the 16 inches of the soil surface. No redoxomorphic features were found within these soil textures. Soil textures include clay loam and clay. The mapped soils present within the Site are depicted on Figure 3: Environmental Inventory Map. No indicators of wetland hydrology were observed within the upland areas. The location and size of upland areas delineated onsite are shown on Figure 6: Preliminary Jurisdictional Water of the U.S. Delineation Map.

Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) 0 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM JD for 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. PJDs are sufficient as the basis 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 requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" 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 JDs are 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.

Further, an AJD, 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. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.
