4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
The Site is comprised of 3 adjacent parcels totaling 81.81 acres. The property contains large agricultural fields and two ponds. Remaining un-timbered forests are dominated by a
hardwood canopy and interspersed with pine trees. There is an existing overhead transmission line immediately east of the Site. There are three streams, two ponds and five wetlands on
the Site. Residential and agricultural properties exist around the Site.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
0 Yes O No 0 Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.28
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
2,604
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a residential subdivision and associated infrastructure to meet the demand for housing in this area of Franklin County.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The project is to construct a residential subdivision with necessary internal roads and stormwater devices. Two streams bisect the property: one to the north and one to the south. There is
one stream crossing proposed in the first phase to access the useable upland portions of the property. The second stream crossing will not be requested for several years. Franklin County
only issues 50 lots of public water connection (i.e. sewer and water) allocations at a time, and 30% of those lots must be constructed, sold and have open/active water accounts before the
County will consider allocating more connections. The developer is taking a risk in developing the additional 53 lots and infrastructure in Phase 1 (intending to construct 103 lots this first
phase) and that they will be pad ready when the next round of public water allocations are granted.
The applicant is fully aware that stream mitigation for the entire site may be required when the second stream crossing is requested.
Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. With the exception of a future stream crossing, the remaining jurisdictional resources on the Site will be avoided. Utilities for the proposed
project will connect to existing utility lines adjacent to the Site. Heavy equipment typically used for residential construction (e.g. backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas? *
Yes 0 No 0 Unknown

6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
O Yes O No
6b. If yes, explain.
Two streams bisect the property: one to the north and one to the south. There is one stream crossing proposed in the first phase to access the useable upland portions of the property. The
second stream crossing will not be needed and/or requested for several years. Franklin County only issues 50 lots of public water connection (i.e. sewer and water) allocations at a time,
and 30% of those lots must be constructed, sold and have open/active water accounts before the County will consider allocating more connections. The developer is taking a risk in
developing the additional 53 lots and infrastructure in Phase 1 (intending to construct 103 lots this first phase) and that they will be pad ready when the next round of public water
allocations are granted.
The applicant is fully aware that stream mitigation for the entire site may be required when the second stream crossing is requested.
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?
When the next stream crossing is required, the applicant intends to request a NWP 29 for Phase 2 of the project.

3j. Comments:
Of the proposed stream impacts, only 101 LF are permanent due to the culvert installation. The rip rap dissipator pad will be countersunk below the
stream bed; therefore, while a permanent impact, it is not considered a permanent loss of channel function. The proposed 17 LF of temporary impacts
are necessary for the installation of impervious dikes and the pump around operation to construct the culvert "in the dry." The dewatering activities will be
concurrent with the culvert installation.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
There are 3 streams, 2 ponds and 5 wetlands on the subject Site. The proposed roadway infrastructure results in 1 stream crossing in Phase 1 and
potentially a second stream crossing in a future phase. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. All other jurisdictional features on the Site have
been avoided. Lots were positioned to avoid additional fill and/or impact to streams and wetlands. Stormwater outfalls were designed to minimize
impacts to jurisdictional areas. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt
fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from stormwater runoff.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing
and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into stream and wetland areas.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes J No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
As currently shown, the proposed impacts are below mitigation thresholds. The applicant understands that if future impacts to streams exceed 150LF/0.02 acres of impact, mitigation will
be required and that it will be cumulative to previous phases of the project.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
• Yes O No
What type of SCM are you providing?
10 Level Spreader
O Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
0 Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
O Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
O Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
Yes ONo
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)7
0 Yes ( No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program?
O Yes O No
O N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
3. Stormwater Requirements
3a. Select whether a completed stormwater management plan (SMP) is included for review and approval or if calculations are provided to document the project will not cause degradation of
downstream surface waters. *
O Stormwater Management Plan O Antidegradation Calculations
Comments:
The Site is within Franklin County, a delegated authority and therefore, the County will be approving the stormwater management plan for the project. Two permanent stormwater basins
are proposed for the development. There are no discrete discharges of stormwater through the buffer or to the streams. The applicant requests a conditional 401 approval until the
municipality reviews and approves of the SMP for the development.

Request for NWP 29 and GC 4256 Authorization
Sage Project #2022.113
On behalf of Forsyth Investments Company, LLC (applicant), please find attached a complete application and
supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that
the activities associated with the proposed development of the Woodbridge South subdivision (Project) may
proceed under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 and General Certification 4256 (GC 4256).
Project Purpose and Location
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a residential subdivision and associated infrastructure to
meet the demand for housing in this area of Franklin County. The site is located off Holden Road, east of the
intersection of Holden Road and US Highway 1.
Project Detail
The proposed Project consists of the construction of a residential development with associated utilities and roads.
Homes will tie into existing public water systems.
Access to the Site will be provided via Holden Road to the north. Heavy equipment typically used for residential
development projects (e.g., backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized.
No federally threatened or endangered species are listed to occur on the Site according to the NC Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) Database. (see attached report dated June 29, 2022).
The Site itself is not listed as a historic property. There was one structure, the Wall Log House (FK0463), on the
property; however, that structure is gone. There are seven other properties listed within 1.0 mile of the Site.
Project History
The Site is comprised of 3 adjacent parcels totaling 81.81 acres. The property contains large agricultural fields
and two ponds. Remaining un-timbered forests are dominated by a hardwood canopy and interspersed with pine
trees. There is an existing overhead transmission line immediately east of the Site. There are three streams, two
ponds and five wetlands on the Site. Residential and agricultural properties exist around the Site.
Avoidance and Minimization
There are 3 streams, 2 ponds and 5 wetlands on the subject Site. The proposed roadway infrastructure results
in 1 stream crossing in Phase 1 and potentially a second stream crossing in a future phase. Streams are not
crossed multiple times by roads. All other jurisdictional features on the Site have been avoided. Lots were
positioned to avoid additional fill and/or impact to streams and wetlands. Stormwater outfalls were designed to
minimize impacts to jurisdictional areas. Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and
Avery Woods Subdivision Page 1 of 2

prevent any accidental additional impacts. Silt fencing will be installed to provide additional protection from
stormwater runoff.
Project Impacts
Impact 1 Culvert 1 is a proposed road crossing and will result in 112 linear feet of permanent stream impact (101
LF for the culvert and 11 LF for a countersunk, rip rap dissipator pad), 17 linear feet of temporary stream impact
and 16,530 square feet of Neuse River Riparian Buffer impact - 7,360 sq. ft. Zone 1 & 3,650 sq. ft. Zone 2
permanent impact and 1,686 sq. ft. Zone 1 & 3,834 sq. ft. Zone 2 temporary impact.
Mitigation
Permanent stream impacts are below mitigation thresholds. Per 15A NCAC 02B .0714 (9)(10) & (11), the
proposed Neuse River Riparian Buffer impacts are either "deemed allowable" or "allowable upon authorization."

RE: Avery Woods Subdivision; 2022.113
Dear Kim Hamlin:
13. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally -
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
WaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust
resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project
area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project
may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -
specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the
defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS
Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence
(AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected
by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may
indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can
change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects
to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species
which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted,
permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement
can only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or
from the local field office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an official speci
list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species! and their critical habitats are managed by the Eco o ical Services Program of the U. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries?).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this list. Please contact NOAA
Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction. 14
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows species that are candidates, or
proposed, for listing. See the Listing status page for more information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see

Migratory birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act' and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Actz.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats
should follow appropriate regulations and consider implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.

Probability of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This
information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you
read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret
this report.
Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular
week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The
survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the
presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was
detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and
the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.

INC: Explore Location resources
https://ipac.eco sphere.fws.gov/location/UZLH472I3ZAL5 W 7ZULLC...
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the
probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability
of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of
any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values
fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no
yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the
10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is
areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much
more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round.
Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the
area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are
most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable
depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in
your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN); The AKN data is based on a
growing collection of survey_, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the
10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that
area, an eagle (Eagle Art requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may
occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology. Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based o*data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This
data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, andCitizen science datase %E
OF
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability
of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these
graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present ear -round in my project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the
following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds gam. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird
does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the
bird likely does not breed in your•oject area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including
Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for
eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy
development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the
birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help
avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area
off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may
be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA
NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf
project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on
survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotae
studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.

If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your
list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the
migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10
km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort
(indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If
the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar
means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying
what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might
be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures
to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit
the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird
trust resources page.
Coastal Barrier Resources System
Projects within the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) maybe subject to the restrictions on federal
expenditures and financial assistance and the consultation requirements of the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) (16 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.). For more information, please contact the local Ecological Services Field Office o.�Wisk the CBRA Consultations website.
The CBRA website provides tools such as a flowchart to help determine whether consul tion is required and a template to
facilitate the consultation process.
THERE ARE NO KNOWN COASTAL BARRIERS AT THIS LOCATIOI
Data limitations
The CBRS boundaries used in IPaC are representations of the controlling boundaries, which are depicted on the official CBRS maps. The boundaries
depicted in this layer are not to be considered authoritative for in/out determinations close to a CBRS boundary (i.e., within the "CBRS Buffer Zone" that
appears as a hatched area on either side of the boundary). For projects that are very close to a CBRS boundary but do not clearly intersect a unit, you
may contact the Service for an official determination by following the instructions here: https://www.fws.gov/service/coastal-barrier-resources-system-
rpmperty-documentation
Data exclusions
CBRS units extend seaward out t either the 20- or 30-foot bathymetric contour (depending on the location of the unit). The true seaward extent of the
units is not rbe
n in the CBRS Nat , therefore projects in the offshore areas of units (e.g., dredging, breakwaters, offshore wind energy or oil and gas
projects) msubject to CBRA even if they do not intersect the CBRS data. For additional information, please contact LB.BA@±us.gQy.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventoi
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats maybe subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or
other State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District.
Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to update our NWI data set. We
recommend you verify these results with a site visit to determine the actual extent of wetlands on site.
This location overlaps the following wetlands:
FRESHWATER POND
Palustrine
RIVERINE
Riverine
A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory website
-.11.
Data limitations '.
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of
these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and
geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of
the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. -%
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the
collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source
imagery used and any mapping problems. Mor,
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon
boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions i
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used
to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries
and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These
habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions -6 NOR%
Federal, state, and local regulato gencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in
this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state,
or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in
activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning
specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities.

NBRRO#22-052
Dear Mr. Conyers:
On March 31,2022,Alys Hannum of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted an on-site review of the
features located on the Avery Woods property at the request of Soil& Environmental Consultants,PA
(S&EC)to determine the applicability of the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rule,Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code 02B .0714.
The table and maps below summarize the features evaluated for subjectivity to the Neuse River Riparian
Buffer Rule.Features identified as"Subject"have been located on either the most recent published NRCS
Soil Survey of Franklin County or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map. Subject features
have both been located on the ground and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least
intermittent streams.Features identified as"Not Subject" are not located on either of the required maps,
are not present on the property,or have been determined not to be at least intermittent.
There may be other streams or features on the property that may be considered jurisdictional according to
the US Army Corps of Engineers and therefore subject to the Clean Water Act. This project may require
a Section 404/401 Permit for proposed activity within buffers or within waters of the state.Any
inquiries should be directed to the US Army Corp of Engineers(Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at
(919)-554-4884.

Dear Joshua Harvey,
Reference is made to Corps Action ID: SAW-2022-00310. Please reference this number on any
correspondence regarding this action.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy
of this e-mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps
to be a sufficiently accurate and reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic
resources within the identified review area. The location and extent of these aquatic resources are
shown on the delineation map entitled, "Wetland Sketch Map" and dated 11/10/2020.
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01
https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lco119/id/1256 provides guidance for
Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states, "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type
where no JD has been requested." Currently, we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation
may be relied upon for use in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. This verification does not address nor include any consideration for geographic
jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be interpreted as such.
This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331).
However, you may request an AJD, which is an appealable action.
If you wish to receive a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), or an Approved Jurisdictional
Determination (AJD) please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is required and we will
not provide any additional documentation.
**Due to workload volume, it may take 90 - 120 days or more for the issuance of a standalone JD;
however, you may use the delineation for planning and permitting purposes.
