4. Project Description and History
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 a mix of fields and forested areas. Jacob Swamp (perennial stream) runs through the middle of the site. Several wetland pockets are scattered in the northern and southwestern
portion of the tract. Much of the site is fields or cleared. Forested areas exist in the center, southern and northern portions of the site. These areas support mostly hardwoods. Emery Road
runs east -west through the site. The site is surrounded by roads: Hwy 74 Alt to the northeast, 1-95 to the northwest, and Hwy 74 to the south. Beyond that, adjacent land use is mostly
fields and forested areas.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
8 ac
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
2770 LF
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of this project is to construct an industrial park within the site. Phase 1 includes the construction of the Elkay plumbing distribution warehouse and access roads to this
warehouse. Wetland, stream, and jurisdictional ditch impacts are needed for this access.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The project consists of the construction of roads that will provide access to the Elkay plumbing distribution warehouse. The roads and warehouse are phase 1 of the Lumberton Industrial
Park. Although the industrial park will be constructed in phases, no additional wetland or stream impacts are anticipated in future phases.
Construction Sequencing: Sedimentation and erosion control measures will first be installed. Then the limits of disturbance will be cleared of vegetation. Accessways and utilities will be
installed. The road will cross a non -stream waters of the US and a perennial stream. Culverts will be used at both crossings to maintain hydrologic flow. A 36" culvert will be used at the
non -stream crossing and a 48" culvert will be used at the stream crossing. This culvert will be buried 0.8' per DWR and USACE requirements. Rip rap will be placed at the downstream end
of both crossings. Track hoe, loader, dump truck, bob cat, and other standard construction equipment will be used.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes No
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?*
Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A
Corps AID Number:
SAW-2021-01816 & SAW-2021-01814

Reference is made to ORM ID SAW-2021-01816, please reference this number on any correspondence regarding this
action located on Emery Road, Black Swamp, Robeson County, NC.
We received information from you requesting the Wilmington District, Regulatory Division review and concur with the
boundaries of an aquatic resource delineation.
A site visit was conducted with Paul Farley (LMG) on August 17, 2021. 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 sufficiently accurate and reliable for permitting actions and the determination of
compensatory mitigation requirements. The boundaries of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map
labeled Emery Road Tract Section 401/404 Delineation Preliminary Sketch.
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01
https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/p16021 co119/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".
At this time we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied upon for use in the permit evaluation
process, including determining compensatory mitigation. 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.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this project or about the USACE Regulatory Program.
Respectfully,
Gary

RE: Lumberton Infrastructure
Dear Kim Williams:
Roy Cooper, Governor
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-19078
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:
https://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 rodney.butler@a ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

IPaC resource list
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
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 species 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 Ecological Services Program of the
U.S. 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.

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 FAQ).
2. NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is
an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the
Department of Commerce.
The following species are potentially affected by activities in this location:

Potential effects to critical habitat(s) in this location must be analyzed along with
the endangered species themselves.
There are no critical habitats at this location.
\\°*6°S\C$1
Migratory birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act'-.
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.
Additional information can be found using the following links:
• Birds of Conservation Concern https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-
birds/species
• Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds
https://www.fws.gov/l ibrary/col Iections/avoid i ng-and-mini mizi ng-incidental-take-
migratory-birds
• Nationwide conservation measures for birds
https://www.fws.gov/sites/defau It/files/documents/nationwide-standard-
conservation-measures.pdf

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur
on the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special
attention in your project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for
birds on your list and how this list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list
of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on this
list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders and
the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the
E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species
on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and
models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list
are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other
important information about your migratory bird list, including how to properly
interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found below.
For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and

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 list of migratory birds that potentially occur 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 Act
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 Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL) 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 on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection
of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
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 or migrating in my 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 query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at
the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. 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 project 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 individualle
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 nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.

What if I have eagles on my list?
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) may be
subject t❑ 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 or visit the CBRA Consultations website. The CBRA website provides
tools such as a flow chart to help determine whether consultation is required and a
template to facilitate the consultation process. r''`
%r‘ .°‘
There are no known coastal barriers at this location.
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-property-documentation
Data exclusions
CBRS units extend seaward out to either the 20- or 30-foot bathymetric contour (depending on
the location of the unit). The true seaward extent of the units is not shown in the CBRS data,
therefore projects in the offshore areas of units (e.g., dredging, breakwaters, offshore wind
energy or oil and gas projects) may be subject to CBRA even if they do not intersect the CBRS
data. For additional information, please contact [e-mail].

Wetlands in the National Wetlands
Inventory ( .WI)
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation
under Section 404 ❑f 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 ❑istrict.
Wetland information is not available at this time
This can happen when the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map service is
unavailable, or for very large projects that intersect many wetland areas. Try again,
or visit the NWI map to view wetlands at this location.
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.
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%
f06-
146:641c
information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
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.

Namor
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies 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.
