EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Falcon Engineering, Inc (Falcon) was retained by Bobbit Design Budd ( Bobbit) to perform a
wetland evaluation on an undeveloped property located in Wake County, more specifically at
909 Church Street, in Morrisville, North Carolina (PIN 0746 -64- 4139 -000). The purpose of this
evaluation was to determine whether "waters of the United States" exist on the said property,
and to thus determine the limits of any jurisdictional waters, of the US on the subject property. On
May 7, 2014, Mr Jeremy Schewe, of Falcon, performed a detailed wetland evaluation at the
2.83 -acre subject site The evaluated site is made up of one parcel located west of Church
Street and north of Grace Point Road. Figure 1 shows the general location of the site on the
Cary, North Carolina, USGS topographical quadrangle sheet and Figure 2 shows the applicable
portion of the NRCS Wake County soil survey.
During the field evaluation, a jurisdictional wetland (including a pond) was determined to exist
on the site The approximate size ( =0 4 acres) and location of the wetland area is depicted on
the Figure 3. These depictions are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a
certified survey of the area or provide the required jurisdictional determination. Based upon the
findings of this field investigation, it is necessary for a licensed surveyor to produce a survey
depicting the identified wetland area. An ephemeral stream was observed just off the site
draining the wetland area from the north boundary of the property. This ephemeral stream
drains to Kit Creek, which drains into Jordan Lake and eventually the Haw River.
The professional opinion of Falcon Engineering is represented in the following report as to the
presence and /or absence of wetland habitat and "other waters of the United States" and their
boundaries within the 2.83 -acre partially wooded lot on Church Street. `Verification of report
findings, as well as the final determination of regulatory jurisdiction will be determined by
representatives of the U S Army Corps of Engineers. The US Army Corps of Engineers (US-ACE)
and the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCD,WQ) should be contacted in order to
coordinate a site meeting to provide a final ruling on this jurisdictional determination The USACE
and NCDDWQ must review, confirm, and approve all wetland and stream delineations in order
for these determinations to be considered valid

SECTION 1
REGULATION DEFINITION
1.1 'Definition of "Waters of the United States"
"Water of the United States" is a broad term, which includes intrastate lakes, rivers, perennial
and intermittent streams, mudflats and sand flats, wetlands, sloughs, wet meadows, and natural
ponds, which could affect interstate and foreign commerce.
1.2 Definition of Wetlands
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USCOE) defines a wetland as follows in an excerpt from the
1987 USCOE Wetlands Delineation 'Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987):
Wetlands are "those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or
ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstancesrdo support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include
swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.
Three criteria are used to determine if a subject property is classifiable as a wetland These
three criteria are sods, hydrology, and vegetation.
Soils: As currently defined by the USACE, indicators of hydnc sods include a chroma
value of 2 or less (i.e. grayish color) �in the Munsell,Soil Color "Charf or a gleyed color, the
presence of a sulfidic odor, a high organic content in surface layer of sandy soils,
concretions (e.g manganese), or the listing of the soil series on the national or local
hydric sods list
2. Hydrolociv: Primary indicators of wetland hydrology include the presence of free water
in pit or saturated sods within the upper twelve inches, of the sod, standing water or
inundated conditions, sediment deposits, or drainage �pat,terns. Secondary indicators
include, but are not limited to, water stained leaves and oxidized root channels in the
upper twelve inches of the soil. Only one primary hydrology indicator is required in order
for an area to contain wetland hydrology, however two secondary indicators are
required if ,there is no primary indicator present.
1
3. Vegetation: Vegetation commonly found in and adjacent to wetlands are rated based
on the percentage of time that each species is found in a wetland or on high ground
that is not wetland. Species found almost exclusively in wetlands (99% or more) are
considered obligate wetland species (OBL). Species found 67% to 98% of the time in
wetlands, are considered facultative wetland (FACW) species and species found in
wetlands 34% to 66% of the time are considered facultative species (FAC) Facultative
Upland Species (FACU) and Obligate Upland Species (UPL) refer to those species that
occur predominately in upland, or non - wetland areas. A plus and minus system (e.g.
FACW +, FAC -, etc.) is used to further define the level of occurrence-bf species in upland
or wetland areas In order for an evaluated area to meet the hydrophytic vegetation
requirement, 50% or greater of the dominant plant species must be FAC or wetter.
Positive indicators of all three parameters must be found in order for the area to be
considered a wetland.
1
1.3 Regulation of Wetlands
Wetlands are regulated "waters of the United States" under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Section 404, administered by USCOE, required permits for discharges of dredged or fill material
into .regulated "waters of the United States" The North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) also regulates any disturbance activities in wetlands or other waters of the United
States in the state of North Carolina under the 401 permit process.

SECTION 2
SITE DESCRIPTION
2.1 Site Location
The site is located in Wake County, North Carolina. Specifically, the site is located at 909
Church Street in Morrisville, approximately 1 mile south of 1 -540 (See Figure 3). Church Street
provides the eastern boundary of the property, while private residential lots bound "the property
to the north. Grace Point,Road borders, the. property to the south and Barbee Road borders the
property to the west
2.2 General Site Description
The site currently consists of- 2.83 acres of partially wooded property. The site is located in a
residential area, which had, been highly developed within the past 15 years. The elevation of
the site ranges from approximately'362 to 380 feet above mean sea level (msl) The wetlands
and pond are found at an elevation of 374 feet above msl.
The site has been disturbed. It appears that the property is the merger of several historical
residential properties that were demolished and removed historically. Otherwise, the only
effects of surrounding area development to the said property are to limit the amount of
stormwater entering the site The construction of Grace Point Road in 2007 seems to have
caused a slight reduction in the amount of surface water runoff that enters the site, the pond,
and thus the wetland.
Native canopy trees remain throughout the site, which is mostly dominated by Salix nigra (Black
J
Willow), Fraxmus pensylvanlca ,(Green Ash), Liquidambar styancflua (Sweetgum), Pinus taeda
(Loblolly pine), and Acer rubrum (Red maple), all of which are at least indicator species of
forested`wetland ecosystems An ,old farm pond was a central feature to the wetland observed.
Runoff water from the site enters the pond and then slowly seeps through the failing dam and
creates a seepage -fed' riparian wetland complex that culminates at the north end, of the
property and is drained by a small ephemeral stream: According to Schafale & Weakley's
Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (3rd approximation), the wetland is
roughly approximated to be a Semi - impermanent Impoundment or Upland Depression Swamp
Forest The overall topography of,the site is fairly level

SECTION 3
SCOPE OF SERVICES
3.1 Performed Scope of Work
Falcon was contracted to complete an evaluation and delineation of potentially jurisdictional
features (i.e. wetlands) on the property. The Wake County GIS (►MAPS), NCOne Map, and NRCS
websites provided shapefiles to utilize in ArcGIS in order to generate maps depicting the
property boundary, topography, hydrology, soils, orthophotography, and historic aerial
photographs. A map and report discussing Falcon's findings were to be provided as a work
product. The methodology for our`work is discussed below
3.2 Wetland Evaluation Methodology
The detailed wetland delineation was completed using the current procedures specified and
described in the "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" (January 1987 - Final
Report) Prior to arriving on -site topographical maps, sod survey maps, orthophotographs, and
ArcGIS generated maps of the area were reviewed in order to preliminarily identify areas (e.g.
drainages, hydric sods areas, areas showing standing water, etc.) where, wetlands would likely
exist. A historic wetland delineation of the site was also available, completed by the Catena
Group in February of 2002, and reviewed prior to field investigation on May 7, 2014'.
The site was traversed on foot! and evaluated for the presence of hydric,soil indicators, evidence
of wetland hydrology, and existence of hydrophytic vegetation. A transect (A,) was established
across the property and the, wetland (see Figure 3), running, east, to west Four (4) sample plots
(A -1, A -2, A -3 and A -4) of 10 m2 each were established along the length of the transect. At
each plot location, any hydrologic indicators were recorded, vegetation was identified, and a
soil auger utilized (or test pit dug to 24 ihches depth) to collect a soil, core to stratify and classify
the soil conditions A total of 4 plots were established for'the, purposes of data collection along
1 transect throughout site ('see Figure 3).
For each plot, plants were identified to species within the 10 m2 area of each plot. The percent
relative cover of each species within the four common strata classifications was recorded. trees
(T), shrubs & understory tree (S /S), herbs (H), woody vines (V)., Wetland indicator status for each
�4
species represented within the sample areas were obtained from the National List of Plant
Species that Occur in Wetlands 1996 National Survey.
After the plant communities were defined, sod test pits were dug to a depth of 24 inches at the
center of each plot. Sod samples were inspected for hydric soil indicators. A Munsell Sod Color
Chart was used to identify the hue, value, and chroma of all soil samples at the exposed sod
horizons.
Two of the plots (A -2 & A -3) on the site demonstrated positive indicators of all three wetland
parameters The other two plots were clearly upland (A -1 & A -4) and had a dominance of
upland characteristics. The following subsections help to define the parameters and findings of
the three wetlands criteria throughout the site, 'including vegetation, hydrology, and soils.
Further, discussion of the site conditions is provided in the Results of Delineation section.
3.3 Stream Evaluation Methodology
No streams were observed on the property. One ephemeral stream found off -site drains the
wetland delineated for the purposes of, this protect off -site to the north.

SECTION 4
RESULTS OF DELINEATION
4.1 Wetlands Determinations
The project site was evaluated per the methodology described above and all likely areas within
the project boundaries were evaluated. One wetland, including a pond, was identified at the
site. An unnamed tributary (UT) of Kit Creek, that ultimately flows into Jordan Lake, flows from
south to north beginning at the northern edge of the property and draining the wetland (see
attached Figure 3 for approximate location).
1. Vegetation: The 2.83 -acre wooded lot was investigated for the presence of hydrophytic, or
wetland vegetation, along the length of ,each of the 5 transects. Table 1 summarizes the total
percentage of dominance (Dominance Test) and the Prevalence Index (not necessary for the
completion of this study due to strength of the dominance test) of hydrophytic vegetation found
within each sample location along the length of each transect.

2. Hydrology: Wetland hydrology consists of water that is on or, near -the surface of the sod for a
significant period of time during the growing season. Many factors determine wetland
hydrology such as topography, sod type, depth of the water table, and drainage. The
hydrology of the 2.83 -acre lot indicates that wetlands are found on the site. A summary of the
hydrologic indicators observed at the site are summarized in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2 1 HYDROLOGIC DATA (909 CHURCH STREET)
1- Percent Dominance of hydrophytic vegetation (must be >5090')
2 - Weighted prevalence index of hydrophytic vegetation (must be <_ 3 0)
3 - Percent absolute cover in the plot
In general, hydrologic indicators were observed at the site in plots A -2 and A -3 where the, plot
incorporated the wetland as a result of seepage from the pond. Plots A -1 and A -4 did not
exhibit wetland characteristics.
3. Soils: Hydnc sods, as defined by USACE, are sods that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long
enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper 12" of the soil
A hydric sod is different from a non - hydric sod due to the induced anaerobic conditions that
change the sod color, mottling, structure, and chemistry The soil colors and mottling are
described using a Munsell Sod Color Chart Soil structure is determined via field sod texture tests
Sods'.are a product of site conditions such as slope, aspect, and drainageln conjunction with the
source of the local geologic substrata and environmental conditions.
The site was investigated for the presence of hydric soils via core samples along the 5 transects,
to a depth of 24 inches Sods must be hydric in the upper 12 inches for an area to be
considered a wetland. The NRCS Buncombe County (NC) Soil survey shows the site to have two
(2) types of soil mapped for the entire site (Figure 2). The soil types are both listed as well-
drained on the sod survey:

�7
Carbonton- Brickhaven complex (CaB), 2 -6% slopes. somewhat poorly drained soil (50% of site)
White Store sandy loam,(WsB2), 2 -6% slopes: moderately well - drained sod (50% of site)
The hydric status of a soil must be determined in the field as site conditions can often vary. A

The soils found in the plots were largely silty -clay loam type soil Soils were saturated in plots A -2
& A -3. Plots A -1 & A -4 exhibited some hydric conditions Plot A -1 demonstrated a
reduced /depleted matrix as a result of anaerobic soil conditions created by wetland conditions
and saturation at 4 inches of depth and below. Plot A -2 showed hydric conditions Well below
the 12 inch threshold, where hydric conditions were observed at 18 inches in depth. Anaerobic
soil conditions were consistent throughout the entire wetlands area, with reduction ,of chroma,
gleying, mucky mineral buildup, and other primary or secondary hydric soil indicators.

4.2 National Wetland Inventory
The United States Department of Fish and Wildlife National Wetland Inventory Maps are
developed from aerial photographs. The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) for the site
shows no potential wetland areas located on the site.
4.3 Stream Determinations
Drainages on property were minimally evaluated as described in the "Stream Evaluation
Methodology" section above The stream draining the wetland from the site is an ephemeral
stream ,from the site on the northern boundary (See Figure 3). The ephemeral stream was not
flagged as it is off -site. The site area drains to Kit Creek that ultimately flows into Jordan Lake
and the Haw River

SECTION 5
CONCLUSIONS
The USACE must review, confirm, and approve all wetland and stream delineations in order for
these determinations to be considered valid. USACE confirmation most often requires a site visit
with the appropriate agent assigned to the county that the site is in. A site meeting with USACE
and NCDWQ may not be necessary
5.1 Conclusions
The detailed wetland delineation was completed on the.Saint Sharble Church property, located
at 909 Church Street on May 7, 2014 The site contains one wetland area, of, approximately 0.4
acre. It is the intention of the property owner to preserve the wetland. USACE approval of our
field determinations should be obtained prior to finalizing site plans. Falcon Engineering staff are
available to assist with the planning of the project and to further discuss relevant wetland and
stream regulations and permit thresholds should site plans change that may involve any impacts
to wetlands.

Required Information for a USACE
Jurisdictional Determination Map
The location of each point (numbered wetland flags & channel locations) on the map;
including a ,tick mark, with the notation (number, letter,, note, or other identifier) found on
the survey tape in the field (or sequential numbers assigned by `the surveyor for channel
locations) is required.
2. A listing of each point's northing's and easting's (NC coordinate grid) or metes and
bounds. If metes and bounds are,used, wetlands most be tied to a property corner or
other known point and ties shown on the map so that the survey could be replicated in
the future if required by a regulatory agency etc. is also required
3 The width of linear wetlands and stream channels must be labeled on the map as on the
survey flagging and preferably depicted to scale on the map.
4. All wetland boundaries should be closed off resulting in disfinct polygons. Total wetland
acreage should be indicated for each polygon.
5. Total acreage of jurisdictional wetlands, streams, and other surface waters (e.g. ponds,
lakes, rivers, etc.) within the evaluated area must be listed.
6. Property lines also must,be closed and the entire property or parcel,must be shown. Total
property acreage must be listed. If any part of the property was not evaluated, the
areas should be clearly,identified and labeled
7. Maps should show at least the property and wetland lines (topographic lines are optional,
and in some cases may detract from the overall readability of the map) The map
should include a vicinity map and be prepared on sheets no larger than 11 x 17. If
multiple sheets are used, match lines must be shown and there must be overlap, and a
master map of the whole site showing the sheets matched with each other must be
