Dear Ms. Higgins
Please find attached four copies of the Pre - Construction Notification Application for the above
referenced site. The site contains wooded land Pepsi bottling /distribution facility is located on
adjacent property. They have out -grown their current location and need to expand To
accommodate growth, it is necessary to construct,a truck parking area and associated access roads
on the site.
The access roads associated with the proposed project will temporarily impact 22 linear feet of
stream channel and permanently impact 293 linear feet of perennial stream channel and 0 00'5.,acres
of wetland. Mitigation is proposed ,through the NCEEPF ",k,
I am requesting that a 401 Water Quality Certification be issued to authorize, the proposed
impacts. There are no additional wetland.or stream impacts proposed at,this time. Release feel free
to contact me at, 336 -708 -4620 if you have any questions concerning this request or if'additional

SupplementalJnformation - Pepsi, PCN
3e.
Pepsi has occupied the adjoining property west of the site for two years The location is used as a
distribution facility Vending machines are also repaired, commissioned and shipped from the facility
Since occupying the location, areas surrounding the building have been paved to the extent that the
property will allow for parking of tractor trailers and other support vehicles used in the regional delivery
of Pepsi products
Pepsi is in the process of,consolidating several of their satellite distribution operations in the state and
distributing from Winston Salem Additionally Pepsi Bottling`Ventures acquired the Charlotte franchise
territory'and this location is now supporting distribution routes in Charlotte As,a result, Pepsi Bottling
Ventures needs additional parking to accommodate these additional business activities When PBV
moved into the current location PBV was offered the lot by Winston Salem Business, Inc for the
anticipated growth and has opted to exercise our option to purchase the land and develop it for parking
When PBV moved distribution to 390 Business Park the traditional side bay trucks were eliminated. The
growing number of product demanded ;larger delivery vehicles and the entire fleet,was converted to 40'
box'trailers. Additionally ,this site became a regional hub, for storage of inventory that is produced -in
Winston 'Salem and distributed to other Pepsi Bottlers nationwide. It is necessary to construct an
additional parking area on the adjacent property (the subject site) to support the new business
activities PBV delivery vehicles are loaded' at night for the next day delivery of products. A road is being
constructed between the two properties to allow shuttling of trailers to and from the warehouse The
second entrance allows a secondary means of egress to the site
In addition to the immediate need of parking, a 2 94 acre portion of the site is platted for development
with a building or additional parking as dictated by future business needs The building pad will be
graded in conjunction with the grading /,construction of the parking area. However, the building has
not been designed and will not be constructed at this time. Jurisdictional areas are not located on the
2 94 acre portion of the site. When constructed, the access road will be necessary to safely separate
employee traffic and transport vessel traffic
A stormwater device will be constructed on the site to treat surface -water runoff from the impervious
areas. The pond has been designed to remove 90% total suspended solids and has been sized to
include runoff from the parking lot and a future building or parking lot The construction, of the,
stormwater °pond will not impactjurisdictional areas.
In order,to accommodate the current and future needs of Pepsi, it is necessary to impact two streams
(293 linear feet) and an associated wetland pocket (0 005 acres) Coffer dams will be used and water
will be pumped around during the installations of the culverts /rip rap Graders, loaders, excavators,
haulersand cranes will be used during construction activities on the site
D -1a
The access roads between the existing, Pepsi bottling facility and the proposed parking area have been
designed to, cross the streams'in areas where the streams are, relatively straight The ,road crossings
have been designed to be as perpendicular to the streams as possible Headwalls and end walls have
been designed to reduce the impacts. Rip rap has been sized to reduce the linear footage of impact
2:1 slopes have been designed on each end of the stream crossings
The current parking lot, future construction and stormwater pond have been designed in
non - jurisdictional areas of the site. The stormwater pond has been designed, to treat 90% total
suspended solids, preventing sediment discharge from impervious surfaces that will be constructed on
the,site A pump- around system has been designed that will use a coffer dam Although a temporary
impact, the system will prevent sediment from entering down - gradient portions of the streams during
culvert installation The project has been designed in a manner that buffers will remain on
non - impacted portions of streams on the remainder of the project area
In order for Pepsi Bottling Ventures °to operate /occupy the distribution facility, it is necessary to expand
'The only adjoining'property that is available that'will accommodate the expansion is this site. Without
being able, to use the site, Pepsi will be forced to relocate: Relocation of the distribution faalrty to a
green -field site is not a practical alternative and will have greater environmental impacts and likely
impact more streams and wetlands The expansion has been designed in a manner to avoid
unnecessary impacts to green -field sites,
D -1b
The clearing limits of the proposed project will be staked prior to clearing (including the impact limits of
the streams) Prior to .grading, silt fence will' be, installed to prevent runoff from entering nearby
streams. During culvert installation (including headwall and endwall construction), coffer,d'amsswill be
placed on the up- gradient ends of the culverts and water will be pumped around Following
installation, the coffer dams will be removed and water will be redirected into the culvert The graded
areas on the site will be seeded and matted immediately following site grading activities. Additional
best management practices will be implemented.

B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (,THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (iF ANY):
This section,summanzes information regarding characteristics of the,tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any „and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met
The-agencies will assert jurisdiction over,non- navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters” (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typicallyflow,year -round or, have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly =abuts an RPW is atsoqurisdictional. i "the aquatic resource is not a TNW, bufhas year -round
(perennial) flow; skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abutran,RPW requires aisigmficant nexus evaluation—Corps districts and
EPA regions wdlanclude in the-record any available information that documents the existence ofa significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though;a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody"'is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting,an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with,a TNW if the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This sign ificanUnexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes,;the tributary,and all of its,adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. if the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands; completeiSection 11I.13 1' for
the tributary, Section IIi.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section iII B 3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section HI.0 below.

C. SIGNIFICANT'NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by-any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affecuthe chemical, physical, and biological integrity
,of a TNW,. For each ofthe followingrsituations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with,all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a,speculatrve or`lnsubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and /or biological integrity of aTNW.
Considerations when evaluating sigmficantmexus include, but are,not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine,sigmficant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between,a tributary and the TNW.). Similarly, the fact,an,adjacent wetland,lies within or
outside of a tloodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as� identified in the Rapanos,Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the,trnbutary, in combination, with its adjacen6wetlands (if any,), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or'to reduce�the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a'TNW?
• Does thvtnbutary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and hfecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young.for species that are present'm the TNW9
• Does the tributary, m combination With its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon,that
supportidownstream ,foodwebs9
• Does the tnbutary,'m combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any); have other relationships,to the,physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW

Dear Mr Hill
ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) is pleased to submit this report of the jurisdictional waters /wetland
delineation for the site located at 350 Enterprise Park Boulevard in Forsyth County, North
Carolina This report summarizes our findings for the site
Background
The site is an approximate 10 39' acre tract (Figure 1) The site is identified, by the Forsyth
County GIS as PIN' 6863 -24 -3146 00 The site contains undeveloped wooded land The site is
being evaluated for future development ECS was contracted to delineate jurisdictional waters
including ponds, streams and wetlands on the site The property boundaries were not marked
in the field at the time of our site visit
Wetlands are, defined by the U S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "those areas that are inundated or saturated by
surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal
circumstances, do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions "' In order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology indicators must be present
Literature Review
We,reviewed the USGS Topographic Map, the Soil Survey of Forsyth County and the Geologic
Map of North Carolina'to obtain information regarding the site
The USGS Topographic Map (Figure 1) shows an unnamed tributary to Sawmill Branch
crossing the northern portion of the site The map shows additional drainage swales that
could contain surface waters or wetlands on the central portion of the site and near the
western site boundary

The Soil Survey of Forsyth County (Figure 2) indicates that soils on the site have been
mapped, as Pacolet sandy loam (PaF and PaD) and Wedowee sandy loam (WdC, WdB and
WeD) The Pacolet and Wedowee soil series consists of well drained, moderately
permeable soils that occur on piedmont uplands The mapped soils on the site are not
identified on the Forsyth County Hydric Soils List
The Geologic Map of North Carolina indicates that the site is located in the Piedmont
Physiographic Province In general, shallow, unconfined groundwater movement within the
overlying soils is controlled largely by topographic gradients Recharge occurs primarily by
infiltration along higher elevations and typically discharges into streams or other surface
water ,bodies The elevation of the shallow water table is transient and can vary with
seasonal fluctuations'm precipitation Movement in this water table `is generally from higher
to lower elevations As such, shallow groundwater would be expected to flow beneath the
site towards, the, U named tributary to Sawmill Branch
Site Reconnaissance
Mr David Brame of ECS conducted the site reconnaissance on July 5, 2013 During the
reconnaissance, the site was observed for evidence of ,streams, ponds and wetlands Ponds
are not located on the site Streams are located on the northern and central portions of the site
A third stream is located near the western site boundary The streams located on the northern
portion of the site and near the western site boundary have defined, beds and banks, meanders,
iron- oxidizing bacteria and contained flowing water at 'the time of our site visit Based on our
observations, these streams are perennial The stream located on the central portion of the site
originates as .an ,apparent groundwater discharge point, with an approximate two foot head -cut
This stream has a defined bed and bank, moderate substrate sorting and did not contain water
at the time of our site visit Based on our observations, this stream is intermittent The
centerlines of the streams were marked in the field with blue and,white striped surveyot tape
Wetland hydrology indicators, hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils were observed in pockets
adjacent to the streams The wetland pockets appear to be located off site but near the site
boundaries ECS delineated the wetland boundaries since the site boundaries were not marked
in the field to insure that they do not encroach onto the site The wetlands are separated from
surrounding uplands by distinct topographic, vegetation breaks and /or soil breaks A Wetland
Determination Data Form that documents the conditions encountered on the site was completed
in the field by ECS The wetland boundaries were marked in the field with red and white striped
surveyor tape A survey of the wetland boundaries may be required if it is determined that they
extend onto the site
Figures 3 and 4 show the approximate locations of the streams, wetlands, data point and our
flag numbers Figures 3 and. 4 are based on our field notes and should only be used for
preliminary planning purposes We recommend that the delineation be verified by the USACE
and NCDENR -DWQ The delineation, including our stream designations, is subject to change
based on the agencies verification Following the verification, the flags should be surveyed to
determine the exact location and extent of the jurisdictional areas

Watershed Classification
Unnamed tributaries to Sawmill Branch are located on the site According to the NCDENR-
DWQ, the site is located in the Yadkin- Pee Dee River Basin in an area that has been classified
as Class C Waters Based on the NCDENR -DWQ watershed classification, mandatory state
vegetative buffers are not required adjacent to the streams located on the site However„ local
buffer requirements may apply
General Discussion
Section 404 of ,fhe `Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials `into
waters of'the United States (lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc ), including wetlands Waters of
the United States include the territorial seas, navigable coastal and inland lakes, rivers and
streams, intermittent streams, and wetlands Activities that could be regulated under Section
404 'include the placement of fill for construction of roadways, residential, commercial or
industrial structures, and the construction of, water retention ponds along tributaries The EPA
and the USACE jointly administer the Section 404 program Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
grants each state the authority to approve, condition, or deny any Federal permits that could
result in a discharge-to State waters
Streams, ponds and wetlands are regulated by the USACE and NCDENR -DWQ Permits are
required prior to impacting wetlands or open waters, including ponds, lakes and perennial or
intermittent streams Mitigation and stormwater management plans will be a condition of any
permits, issued for the, site Additionally, buffers may be required adjacent to streams, and water
bodies
For impacts to one -half acre or more of wetlands or to more than 300 linear feet of stream
channel, an individual permit' (IP) may be, required An I requires a habitat analysis, alternative
site analysis., project justification, plans to, avoid and minimize impacts; ;and a proposed
mitigation plan Depending on the habitat analysis and the extent of impacts, an Environmental
