(CWS) scientist, Aliisa Harjuniemi, PWS ', field -reviewed the McCanless Road Site for the presence of potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands. The McCanless Road Site is approximately 21 acres in extent and is located southeast of the McCanless Road and Choate Road intersection in Salisbury, North Carolina (Figure 1). This investigation was conducted to preliminarily identify and approximately map those features that could be jurisdictional as defined by methodologies described in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Delineation Manua12 and the 2012 Eastern Mountains & Piedmont Regional Supplement,3 as well as, recent guidance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Prior to conducting the site investigation, CWS reviewed the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map (Figure 2) and the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Published Soil Survey (Figure 3). The USGS Topographic Map, the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Mapper4, and the USDA-NRCS Published Soil Survey Map do not depict potential wetland features within the project limits. Stream and Wetland Investigation Results Based on the results of this field investigation, there is one potential water of the U.S. located within the project boundary (Figure 4; Wetland AA). On -site features are summarized in Table 1. Photographs 1-4 are representative of on -site features and current site conditions (Attachment A). 1 Professional Wetland Scientist, The Society of Wetland Scientists Professional Certification Program 2 Environmental Laboratory. 1987.

Please note that this report does not represent a detailed waters of the U.S. delineation. This report is for planning purposes only. The potential features depicted on Figure 4 (attached) are based on a limited, preliminary field investigation, and the limits of jurisdiction are an estimate only. GPS points are incomplete and were taken only at beginning points of jurisdiction, jurisdictional breakpoints, and/or representatively along wetlands and are subject to change following a detailed investigation. A full delineation (flagging in the field) of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. with GPS mapping and USACE verification will be conducted once the project progresses into the design phase. Thank you for the opportunity to provide these services on this important project. Please do not hesitate to contact Aliisa Harjuniemi at 980-259-1222 or aliisa@cws-inc.net should you have any questions or comments regarding this report.
