Therefore, to tie the proposed gas line into the existing gas line the side of the ditch must be disturbed. Any flow in the ditch will be pumped around the area of the work. Please attach a map of the site indicating project boundaries on the USGS 1:24,000 Topo and/or NRCS Soil Survey.

As described in the following sections, the property contains potential wetlands and waters that may be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act (CWA). Please note that the attached maps show approximate boundaries of potential jurisdictional features. In order to determine the precise limits of jurisdiction, wetlands and waters should be delineated and reviewed with the appropriate U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulatory field office. General Site Description The Charles Boulevard crossing site is located in Central Greenville, NC in a highly urbanized landscape that has been heavily developed for residential and commercial use. The wetland assessment area encompasses -400 linear ft of Charles Boulevard and adjoining lands to the southwest ( -1 acre) and northeast ( -6 acres). The -1 -acre southwestern area encompasses lawns and paved parking areas associated with road front commercial development along Charles Boulevard. The -6 -acre northwestern area encompasses residential apartment complexes and infrastructure associated with the Oakmont Baptist Church; including paved parking lots, a stormwater treatment pond, and lawns. Man -made drainage ditches run along the property boundaries that separate the church and residential parcels. Methods Prior to entering the field, soil survey maps, aerial photographs, and USGS topographic maps were evaluated for evidence of hydric soils, wetlands, and streams at the Charles Boulevard crossing site. An on -site field investigation was conducted on 13 May 2014. Potential jurisdictional wetlands and waters were evaluated in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0), and the Corps of Engineers /EPA memorandum: Clean Water Act Jurisdiction Following the U.S. Supreme Court's Decision in Rapanos v. United States and Carabell v. United States (dated 12/02/08). In accordance with the Corps Manuals, potential wetlands were evaluated for indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Ditches were evaluated for the presence of an ordinary high water mark and other indicators of sustained flow. Results Pre -Field Investiaation According to the Soil Survey of Pitt County, soil types occurring on the property include Coxville fine sandy loam and Lynchburg fine sandy loam (see attached map). Coxville fine sandy loam is listed as a hydric soil by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), thus providing an indication that wetlands may occur on the property. Lynchburg fine sandy loam is not listed as a hydric soil, but may contain small inclusions of hydric Rains and Woodington soils. The USGS topographic quadrangle (Greenville SE) does not show any blue -line stream features within the boundaries of the Charles Boulevard crossing site. Field Investigation No potential jurisdictional wetlands or waters were observed within the boundaries of the —1 -acre southwestern assessment area. The southwestern area encompasses maintained lawn grasses and paved parking areas associated with road front commercial development. The —6 -acre portion of the assessment area to the northeast of Charles Boulevard encompasses portions of several parcels that have been developed for residential and commercial use; including apartment complexes and the Oakmont Baptist Church. A first order man -made drainage ditch enters the site at the northwest boundary and flows southeast across the central portion of the northeastern area. An additional first order ditch originates near the northeast site boundary and flows to the southwest. The two ditches join near the center of the northeastern assessment area, forming a second order tributary that flows southeast to the assessment area boundary before continuing off -site. In total, —700 linear ft of ditches are located within the assessment area. Both of the ditches on the property appear to have an ordinary high water mark; thus indicating that both ditches are potentially jurisdictional under the CWA. The ditches did not contain standing water at the time of inspection and both appear to be non - relatively permanent waters. Non - relatively permanent waters are jurisdictional only when there is a significant nexus with traditional navigable waters. Although the outfall location is unknown, the drainage system may discharge to Meeting House Branch, which is located approximately 1,200 feet to the south. Such a connection would most likely meet the criteria for a significant nexus with traditional navigable waters. While there do not appear to be any abutting or adjacent wetlands along the ditches, the field evaluation indicates a reasonable probability that the ditches would be considered jurisdictional waters under the CWA. In addition to the ditches, a — 10,000 ft2 stormwater treatment pond associated with the Oakmont Baptist Church also exhibits wetland characteristics. However, the stormwater treatment pond appears to be a recently developed feature constructed in uplands, thus indicating that the pond would be exempt and not considered jurisdictional under the CWA. Recommendations Based on the results of the preliminary analysis, there is a reasonable probability that the ditches described above would be considered jurisdictional under the CWA. Therefore, it is recommended that a formal wetland Jurisdictional Determination be obtained from the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The process of obtaining a wetland determination from the Corps of Engineers is a multi -step process requiring the support of environmental consultants and land surveyors. A qualified consultant will fully evaluate the property, flag all jurisdictional wetlands and waters, and complete routine wetland determination and Rapanos data forms. Once the flags are surveyed by a registered land surveyor, the resulting wetland survey plat and wetland data forms are submitted to the appropriate Wilmington District regulatory field office along with a request for a wetland jurisdictional determination. The consultant will conduct an on -site meeting with the Corps of Engineers representative to review the wetland lines. Once the final wetland survey plat is approved and signed by the Corps of Engineers, the plat can be used to quantify wetland impacts and determine the level of permitting required for the project. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the results of this assessment. If you decide to move forward with the project, Dial Coyly and Associates would be pleased to provide additional wetland delineation and permitting services. Sincerely, fie Dial Cordy and Associates Inc.
