Dear Pastor Agan;
Summey Engineering Associates, PLLC (SEA) is pleased to submit this report of findings on the
above referenced parcels for the stream and wetland determination for the approximately 29.66 acres
owned by the church located on the church property and surrounding parcels owned by the church
at and around 2575 Hamp Stone Road in Siler City, Chatham County, North Carolina.
Background
Wetlands are defined by the US Army Corp 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."
Furthermore, in order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology indicators must be present. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)
regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials into the waters of the US, including streams and
wetlands.
Findings and conclusions in this report are opinions based on actual field conditions observed
during the time of the site visit.
Investigative Scope & Site Information
SEA was asked to perform a wetland determination for the above referenced property due to
requirements of the NCDEQ stormwater program for a site plan review. The site is identified on the
Chatham County Geographic Information System (GIS) as Parcel Identification numbers (PIN) 62776,
13617, 70992, 65735, 93990, 85435. The scope of services included a determination of jurisdictional
features such as streams, wetlands and other surface waters on the site.

The majority of soils on site are Herndon silt loam (HrB), Hydrologic Soil Group(HSG) B, with a
smaller portion consisting of Cid-Lignum Complex (CmB) HSG D. There are no floodplains on site
per NC FIRM Panel 3710874200J. Per USGS topographic maps there are no jurisdictional features
located on the project site. The entire site eventually drains to Blood Run Creek, a part of the Cape
Fear River Basin.
Field Determination
SEA conducted the site visit on June 13, 2022. The project parcel is approximately 29.66 acres and
is a mixture of open spaces, wooded areas, and an existing religious worship facility with associated
parking and drive areas.
There were no jurisdictional features present on the site. The site sits mainly on a hilltop with
elevation changes falling toward the south and west.
Should you have any questions or concerns about this proposal please do not hesitate to call me at
