INTRODUCTION On behalf of Chemours Fayetteville Works (Chemours), Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C., (Geosyntec) conducted a baseline wetland monitoring assessment on a portion of Chemours' Fayetteville Works property. Specifically, the assessment was conducted on a 137.6-acre portion of Chemours property in Bladen and Cumberland Counties, North Carolina (Wetlands Investigation Area). A field wetlands and waterbodies delineation of the Wetlands Investigation Area was conducted by Geosyntec in September 2020, followed by a preliminary baseline monitoring assessment conducted in October 2021 under a draft Wetland Monitoring Plan submitted as part of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit on August 5, 2021. In September 2022, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) approved a Wetland Monitoring Plan with Addendum. Geosyntec then completed a baseline monitoring assessment prior to the construction of a groundwater barrier wall and extraction wells. The 2022 monitoring assessment is described herein and the 2022 data will be considered the baseline assessment moving forward. The Wetlands Investigation Area is located in southern Cumberland and northern Bladen County, approximately 10 miles south of the town of Fayetteville (Figure 1), wholly within the Chemours Fayetteville Site property. The north boundary of the Wetlands Investigation Area begins along the southern edge of Willis Creek and the Wetlands Investigation Area continues south, bounded on the east by the Cape Fear River, on the west by Chemours' Fayetteville Works facility, and on the south by Glengerry Road/Bill Hall Road. Current land use includes woodlands, industrial facilities, on -going remediation projects, and access roads. Since 2020 an area of forest has been cleared for the boundary road and construction area directly west of the Wetlands Investigation Area. This expanded footprint supports movement of heavy equipment and vehicular traffic; and includes the construction of groundwater monitoring wells, in ground utilities, and regrading of soil. The 137.6-acre Wetlands Investigation Area (Figure 2) is composed of mixed hardwood/pine forest habitat, monitoring wells, a water pumping facility, and several access roads. Forested habitat within the investigation area is primarily mid- to late successional which appears to have naturally regenerated on the Wetlands Investigation Area following historic logging activities. The baseline assessment was conducted to further characterize wetlands in the vicinity of the proposed project to provide for future measure of potential future wetland impacts, should the implementation of the barrier wall result in unanticipated hydrologic modifications to the wetlands identified in the September 2020 wetland delineation. The assessment focused on a detailed characterization of the wetlands previously identified in the Project Area by Geosyntec (Appendix C). On August 25, 2022 the NCDEQ issued comments related to original Wetland Monitoring Plan and the Wetland Monitoring Plan Addendum was developed and subsequently approved by the TR0795C —Baseline wetland Monitoring Report-2022 1 January 2023 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 NCDEQ on September 16, 2022. Additional monitoring scope incorporated into the Addendum includes updating the data utilized to evaluate the Performance Standards to include the following: • Monitoring of groundwater elevations within wetlands through the installation of gauges. • Collection of North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) forms for each wetland, bi-annual completion of Division of Water Resources (DWR) stream forms pursuant to the "North Carolina Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and their Origins, Version 4.11" for each stream with additional forms for the stream reaches upgradient of the barrier wall. • The addition of nine USACE Wetland Routine Data Form plots. • Increasing the duration of the monitoring period to 5 years. Monitoring events will be conducted for 5 years following implementation of the barrier wall, consistent with the permit modification request submitted to the USACE by GEOServices, LLC on February 9, 2022 and the addendum to NCDEQ revised on September 15, 2022. If the performance standards defined below are met after 5 years, Chemours will coordinate with the USACE and request to be released from further monitoring requirements. Post -construction monitoring will focus on changes (if any) in hydrology and its effects to the wetland habitats within the Wetlands Investigation Area while also assessing the areal extent of the wetlands and overall functionality of the wetland habitat. 1.1 Performance Standards The performance standards for this monitoring plan are as follows: 1. No non -wetland determinations at assigned wetland monitoring point during the monitoring period. Specifically, the USACE Routine Wetland Data Forms collected at each wetland monitoring point will be required to satisfy the three wetland parameters (hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology, and hydric soils). 2. Maintain an average areal extent of 90 percent of the delineated wetland boundaries, as tabulated by acres unit measurement, following five years of monitoring. 3. Groundwater gauge data shall indicate groundwater within 12 inches (1 feet [ft or `]) of soil surface to meet the USACE primary hydrology indicator for high water table for at least 5% hydroperiod (12.15 consecutive days) each year during the growing season.

DESKTOP REVIEW An office desktop review was conducted to compile reference materials on climatic and hydraulic conditions at the Wetlands Investigation Area in coordination with the monitoring event, as climatic events (droughts, floods, etc.) can often impact qualitative wetland characteristics. Data from the National Weather Service's Fayetteville Area, NC climate station located approximately 10 miles north of the project area, U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) drought monitor, the nearest USGS river gauge for the Cape Fear River at the W.O. Huske Dam (Station ID 02105500) (Appendix D), the USACE's Antecedent Precipitation Tool (APT) (Appendix E), and available groundwater wells were assessed for the 2022 field efforts. The 2022 baseline field surveys were conducted September 14-16 and 19-20, 2022 during a period in which the region had received below normal rainfall amounts for the month and year, summarized in Table I below using data from the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, NC Climate Station. The rainfall events prior to the field surveys recorded 0.6" and 0.32" on September 10 and 11, respectively. Considering the slightly lower than normal total rainfall recorded for the year and month to date periods, Geosyntec delineators observed surface hydrology to be normal with no stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed within the Cape Fear River or its tributaries. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated DO - Abnormally Dry intensity rating existed for the regional area for the weeks ending September 13 and 20, 2022. Table 1 Rainfall at Fayetteville Area Weather Station Year IPW Parametd= Normalqp Observed 1 2022 _A Rainfall (Month to Date) 2.44" 1.81" -0.63" 2022 Rainfall (Year to Date) 35.33" 28.48" -6.85" Furthermore, based on the results of the climate analysis using the APT (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output for the project area was experiencing "normal conditions - 11" value for September 14, 2022 with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-year normal range (see attached graphic in Appendix E). Site -specific hydrology conditions for each wetland are discussed in further detail on each wetland data form (Appendix A). Five of the groundwater wells previously installed by Chemours exist within or directly adjacent to delineated wetlands with depths to groundwater measured on July 1, 2022 before the field surveys and again on November 10, 2022 following the surveys. Groundwater elevation at these wells is shown below in Table 2. LTW Groundwater levels were recorded quarterly in 2022 and July and November were the closest records in relation to the wetlands (Table 2). Given the normal climatic conditions indicated by the APT results above, these elevations likely represent baseline conditions within the Wetlands Investigation Area. The locations of these wells are shown in Figure 3. TR0795C —Baseline wetland Monitoring Report-2022 3 January 2023 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C.

Huske Lock measured between 29-30 ft (NAD83) during the time of field 2022 surveys, 9-10' below flood stage. The most recent high-water crests were 41.24', 47.32', 39.17', 38.71', and 47.27' all between January and March 2021. The NOAA data at the W.O. Huske Lock states minor flood stage begins at 37.97' and that the adjacent lowlands begin to flood at 40.97'. During the field event the river was 9' below flood stage and 12' below where "Flood waters will affect lowlands" as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)1, and therefore at least 12' lower in elevation than our survey area. Based on these values, the Cape Fear River water levels did not appear to be influencing groundwater levels at the time of measurement and therefore the levels reflected by the on -site wells are reflective of normal conditions. USGS gauge height for the Cape Fear River at W.O.

WETLAND MONITORING METHODOLOGY The baseline monitoring event was conducted by two experienced wetland biologists, that included a certified Professional Wetland Scientist, from Geosyntec on September 14-16 and 19-20, 2022. The event involved a quantitative assessment using the USACE Routine Wetland Data Form in accordance with the "2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region — Version 2.0" at each monitoring point and a visual evaluation of the physiognomy state of the wetland and its surface hydrology. In addition, the Wetlands Investigation Area was surveyed for indications of potential negative wetland plant stressors (e.g., - lack of growth/vigor, mortality, upland/pioneer plant competition) not related to natural climatic or storm -related damage. A global positioning system (GPS) receiver capable of submeter accuracy was used for navigating the perimeter of the wetland boundaries and for collecting field data, per the USACE standard operating procedures. Fourteen locations, corresponding with the existing USACE Wetland Routine Data Form plots completed during the 2020 wetland delineation (7 wetland, 7 upland), were revisited. In addition, nine new sample plots were added to characterize the upgradient/downgradient conditions along the fringe of each wetland by collecting supplemental datapoints using the USACE methodology. A licensed soil scientist conducted an independent soils assessment at each of the data points during the 2022 baseline characterization. The soils assessment is described in a technical memo provided as Appendix F. The soils assessment verified the presence of hydric soils indicators at each wetland datapoint. Photographs were taken at each monitoring plot in each cardinal direction, along with a photo of the soil profile. At datapoints collected during the September 2020 wetland delineation, previously completed USACE datasheets were evaluated against conditions observed during the baseline data collection effort and updated as necessary. For example, several datapoint locations were found to have been flooded as a result of the construction of flow -through cells to remove Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from surface water. These, and other examples of changes, are further discussed in Section 4.2.1. NCWAM forms were completed at a central location within each of the 7 wetlands in accordance with the NCWAM User Manual. These forms characterize each wetland and can potentially allow for earlier detection of more minute changes, specifically to species composition and the condition/health of vegetation. The purpose of the NCWAM form is to provide an accurate, consistent, rapid, observational, and scientifically based field method to determine the level of function of a wetland relative to reference conditions for each wetland type in North Carolina. NCWAM forms are not used to determine wetland/upland status or USACE jurisdictional status. Stream determinations in North Carolina are made using the standardized "Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins" utilizing the DWR Stream Identification Forms. Forms were completed for each of the 10 streams within the Wetland Investigation Area by a Geosyntec biologist who has completed a Surface Water Identification and Certification (SWITC) course. An additional stream monitoring form was completed at Streams 4, TR0795C —Baseline wetland Monitoring Report-2022 6 January 2023 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 5, 7, and 8 where they occur west of the barrier wall and thus have a portion of their reach that is upgradient of the impacted area, meaning these longer streams will have two stream forms completed per survey period. To monitor for immediate changes in surface hydrology that might not be detected by changes in soil and vegetation, five pairs of wetland groundwater gauges (Infinity pressure water level data loggers by Infinities USA) were installed in September 2022 to a minimum depth of 15 inches below surface using USACE technical specifications outlined in the June 2005 "Technical Standard for Water -Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites, ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2". Each pair consists of one gauge within the wetland, and one within the upland nearby for comparison of water tables. These gauges will be operated in accordance with the approved Monitoring Plan and Addendum for evaluation of Performance Standard 93 to record groundwater within 12 inches for at least 5% of the growing season. The same monitoring plots, NCWAM locations, and photo points will be used during each subsequent post -construction monitoring events to evaluate changes to surface hydrology conditions and/or any response in the characteristics of the wetland habitats. DWR stream forms will be completed at the same locations bi-annually, once during the beginning of the growing season and once prior to the end of the growing season. The location of each monitoring point is identified in Figure 2. Groundwater gauge data will be examined in a tabular format and the longest period of groundwater within 12" of the soil surface during the growing season (16 March - 14 November), based on the Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) Bladen County Soil, will be reported for each gauge for the purposes of this study. Each of the wetland gauges must meet a minimum hydroperiod as described in the Performance Standard in Section 1.1.

NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 Eleven streams including the western bank of the Cape Fear River were previously delineated with the Wetlands Investigation Area. For monitoring purposes, the Cape Fear River has been excluded as activities on the site are not anticipated to impact river hydrology. Each of the streams was classified using an NCDEQ 4.11 stream form in 2020. All scored as Perennial except for Stream 10, which scored Intermittent -ephemeral. 4.2 Baseline Monitoring - September 2022 This section describes the results of data collection conducted in the September 2022 baseline monitoring effort. Geosyntec documented conditions observed during the assessments at: • The 23 established USACE wetland and upland datapoints2. • Seven NCWAM form monitoring locations. • Each stream utilizing DWR stream forms. Additionally, Geosyntec collected initial groundwater data from the recently installed groundwater gauges (Appendix A and B). The findings of these observations are described in the following sub- sections and discussed in Section 5. 4.2.1 USACE Wetland and Upland Datapoints The datapoints identified during the September 2020 wetland delineation were revisited during this effort, along with supplemental datapoints further described below. Site conditions were observed to have been changed in the general vicinity between the 2020 delineation and the 2022 baseline survey at Datapoints 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 13. Examples of these changes include tree removal, construction of flow -through cells to remove PFAS from surface water discharging to the Cape Fear River at Seeps A,B,C, and D, and associated access roads improvement. A significant site condition change was noted at the upland Datapoint 10, where the area around the datapoint was modified by the construction of a gravel road authorized by USACE permit SAW-2019-00296. Since the 2020 delineation Datapoints 5 and 7 were relocated slightly due to inundation of water associated with construction of the flow -through cells. Supplemental datapoints were obtained for Datapoints 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, and 13. These supplemental datapoints were collected to increase the ability to detect changes following the construction of the barrier wall. Specifically, these supplemental datapoints will potentially allow detection of acute changes to the vegetation, soils, or hydrology for each wetland; as well as add to the overall understanding of the surface hydrology within the Wetlands Investigation Area. Supplemental datapoint locations are identified in Figures 2a-c. 2 The upland datapoint 10 is now located where a road has been placed and will be removed from future monitoring efforts, and subsequent monitoring will only include 22 USACE datapoints. TR0795C —Baseline wetland Monitoring Report-2022 9 January 2023 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 Observations of soil characteristics at each datapoint remained consistent with previous conditions. A licensed soil scientist accompanied crews on the monitoring effort and confirmed observations by Geosyntec (Appendix F). Original and supplemental wetland datapoints meet the three criteria for classification as a wetland, as defined by USACE in Section 3 of this report. 4.2.2 NCWAM Form Monitoring Locations A location was chosen within the central area of each of the seven wetlands to complete an NCWAM form to represent the baseline conditions of each wetland. The NCWAM score of each wetland is outlined in Table 4. The NCWAM score is generated from the values for each wetland component (hydrology, water quality, and habitat) relative to wetlands of the same type. Results for each component and sub -component are further detailed in Appendix A. Table 4 NCWAM Score for Each Wetland Wetland Wetland I (WI) Type PFO 2022 NCWAM Score Low Wetland 2 (W2) PFO High Wetland 3 (W3) PFO High Wetland 4 (W4) PFO Medium Wetland 6 (W6) PEM High Wetland 6 (W6) PFO Medium Wetland 7 (W7) PFO High Notes: *NCWAM scores indicate the overall function of a wetland relative to wetlands of the same type in North Carolina. A high score indicates the wetland is functioning near reference conditions, low indicates not near reference function. 4.2.3 Stream Monitoring Locations The locations of the original stream monitoring points from the 2020 delineation were revisited for the 2022 baseline monitoring effort, along with adding four additional monitoring points along stream reaches upgradient of the barrier wall disturbance. The scores of each of the streams is documented in Table 5. Streams that score below 19 are classified as ephemeral, between 19 and 30 are classified as intermittent, and above 30 are classified as perennial. It should be noted, as described in the "Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins" a stream's origin, as defined by its flow regimes (e.g. — ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial), usually occurs along transition zones in which the location and length of the zone is subject to fluctuations in groundwater levels and precipitation. As such, it can be expected that stream scores will fluctuate between monitoring events.

Year one post construction monitoring is tentatively proposed for September 2023. Each of the 23 datapoints, 14 stream monitoring points, and 7 NCWAM form locations will be re -visited and surveyed/documented following the same methodology used in the baseline survey. Groundwater gauge data will be collected daily using data loggers and downloaded monthly. Data will be evaluated in the 2023 monitoring report against the hydroperiod criteria. Additionally, stream monitoring locations must be visited twice during each growing season. Stream monitoring points will be revisited in Spring and late summer of 2023, with data being reported in the 2023 Year-1 monitoring report.

SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION The September 2022 baseline monitoring was performed prior to the installation of the barrier wall, to establish the baseline effort wetland and stream conditions of the Wetlands Investigation Area. This monitoring program will run for 5 years after the wall is installed to evaluated potential changes that may occur in wetlands and streams downgradient of the construction. This baseline monitoring scope included USACE wetland datapoint monitoring, NCWAM form data collection, DWR Stream form collection, and the installation of groundwater gauges. No significant deviations in wetland composition or size were documented during this baseline characterization effort. Since this 2022 Report is the baseline, no evaluation against the Performance Standards was performed. Four recently constructed flow -through cells authorized under USACE permit SAW-2019-00296 appear to have contributed to increases in observed wetland hydrology and slight alterations in canopy cover within wetlands on -site. These changes are detailed in Table 3 and Appendix A; and documented in the representative photographs (Appendix B). These alterations should be considered part of the baseline conditions for future comparison. Monitoring will occur in 2023 consistent with the scope described in Section 4.3.

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic). Shallow seep head associated with a backwater floodplain of the Cape Fear River. Perennial seep is the primary hydrology. A lot of slash debris from windstorms.

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

No rainfall had occured in the ten days prior to field surveys, but 1.32" fell on 9/22. Additional, 0.12" rainfall occured overnight on 10/4, after that days surveys. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 33.19" which is a 2.71" shortfall according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, INC climate station. Considering the near normal total rainfall for the year and lack of recent rainfall, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of October 4, 2021. However, drought conditions were updated on October 8 following surveys and indicated the area to now be under "abnormally dry" conditions. Furthermore, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output for the project area was experiencing "normal conditions -11" value with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30 year normal range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.12", 1.4", 0.2", and 0.17" were recorded on 9/12, 9/11, 9/10, and 9/8, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 28.48" which is a 6.95" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated abnormally dry conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 14, 2022. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output was a -11 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30- Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

TR0759C Chemours Fayetteville Works 35 01.04.23 Appendix C Section 401 Monitoring Plan and Monitoring Plan Addendum Fayetteville Works Wetlands Monitoring Plan -- Barrier Wall Impact Monitoring This draft monitoring plan describes the approach for monitoring and measuring possible impacts on the wetlands caused by the construction of the barrier wall at Fayetteville Works. This is an initial draft and will be refined in consultation with the Corps of Engineers. Baseline Wetland Characterization To provide for accurate measure of wetland impacts due to the construction of remediation activities, a baseline assessment will be conducted prior to the commencement of construction. This assessment will focus on a detailed characterization of wetlands previously identified in the project area by Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. and included in the previously submitted Wetland Delineation Report (October 2020). Fourteen locations, corresponding with the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Routine Data Form plots completed during the 2020 wetland delineation (7 wetland, 7 upland), will be revisited during the baseline wetland characterization field effort to gather additional data not included in a typical wetland delineation for the purpose of obtaining additional baseline characteristics. In addition, two new randomly selected sample plots will be added during the baseline assessment that will be incorporated into the monitoring program to fully characterize the upgradient/downgradient conditions along the fringe of each wetland. Corresponding photographs will be taken at each monitoring plot (photo point) in each cardinal direction, along with a photo of the soil profile. Additional representative photographs will also be taken at fixed locations which best reflect the observed hydrological conditions of the site and surrounding habitats. The same monitoring plots and photo points will be used during each subsequent monitoring event to evaluate changes to the site hydrology and/or any response in the characteristics of the wetland habitats. Upon completion of the baseline characterization survey, a report of findings complete with a photographic record and figures will be submitted to the USACE for review prior to the remediation activities to establish baseline conditions for comparison to subsequent monitoring results. Post -remedy Monitoring Plan Post -remedy monitoring will be conducted for three years following implementation of remediation activities, consistent with anticipated requirements of the permit modification. If the performance standards defined below are met after three years, Chemours will petition the USACE to be released from further monitoring requirements. If performance standards are not met after three years, post - remedy monitoring will continue until the requirements are satisfied or until impacts to wetlands are evident, thenceforth compensatory mitigation for the impacts will be assessed by the USACE. Post - remedy monitoring will focus on monitoring changes (if any) in hydrology and follow-on effects to the delineated wetland habitats within the project area and assessing the areal extent of the delineated wetlands and overall functionality of the wetland habitat. The performance standards for this monitoring plan are as follows: 1. No non -wetland determinations at any assigned wetland monitoring point. 2. Maintain an average areal extent of 90 percent of the delineated wetland boundary, as tabulated by acres unit measurement, following three years monitoring. Pre planning Desktop Review Prior to commencing field activities, an office desktop review will be conducted to compile reference materials on climatic and hydraulic conditions at the site prior to each monitoring event, as climatic events (droughts, floods, etc.) can often impact qualitative wetland characteristics. The desktop review will enable an understanding of the current climatic conditions and allow for a calibration of the anticipated field monitoring. Data from the National Weather Service's Fayetteville Area, NC climate station, U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) drought monitor, the nearest USGS river gauge for the Cape Fear River at the W.O. Huske Dam (Station ID 02105500), the USACE's Antecedent Precipitation Tool (APT), and available groundwater wells will be assessed against the Fall 2020 wetland delineation event, baseline assessment, and preceding monitoring events and included in the monitoring reports. Field Monitoring Post -remedy field monitoring will consist of conducting site visits annually during the growing season by qualified wetland biologists. The site visit will involve a quantitative assessment using the USACE Routine Wetland Data Form in accordance with the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region — Version 2.0 at each monitoring point identified in the baseline characterization assessment and a visual evaluation of the physio state of the wetland and its surface hydrology. In addition, the site will be surveyed for indications of potential negative wetland plant stressors (e.g. — lack of growth/vigor, mortality, upland/pioneer plant competition) not related to natural climatic or storm -related damage. Below is a schedule for field monitoring activities. Monitoring Task Schedule Baseline Wetland Characterization Summer/Fall 2021 Post Remedy Monitoring Year 1 Summer 2022 Post Remedy Monitoring Year 2 Summer 2023 Post Remedy Monitoring Year 3 Summer 2024 A global positioning system (GPS) receiver capable of submeter accuracy will be used for navigating the perimeter of the wetland boundary and for collecting field data, per the USACE standard operating procedures. GPS positions and final monitoring locations will be provided as part of the baseline monitoring report. Successive monitoring reports will be prepared each year, for three years, and provided to the USACE by December 31 of the year subsequent to annual data collection. The overall objective of each monitoring report will be to illustrate status quo, or deviation from, stipulated performance standards. This will be achieved by summarizing data and providing comparisons to data collected during previous years. Figures will be generated that identify areas of interest or concern, as well as, trends of the wetland data forms results. For example, if the percent dominance test for a wetland data form begins to trend towards less dominated by facultative species or if the number of hydrology indicators are reduced, these changes will be mapped and indicated in the monitoring report. Furthermore, a summary discussion of the monitoring event's pre -planning review and observed surface hydrology shall be incorporated into the report. A statement defining the results of the monitoring period, along with recommendations for specific monitoring observations/concerns, will be provided in each report. After Year 3 of the monitoring program, a formal wetland delineation will be conducted to compare the areal extent with the initial Fall 2020 delineation. In accordance with standard USACE delineation methodology, wetlands will be flagged and labeled with the feature identification (ID), flag ID, and delineation date. A Wetland Delineation Report will be drafted with completed data forms and tabulated acreages for each wetland feature. High -resolution figures will be generated that show the current delineation results along with any changes in the wetland boundaries highlighted in a contrasting color. Due to an expected maximum submeter-accuracy of the GPS data collection, a 10 percent tolerance between areal extents will be permitted to quantify final performance standard for this monitoring program. Since impacts to stream features will be mitigated through purchase of compensatory mitigation credits for the project, the surface area for ordinary high-water marks of streams will be excluded from the performance standard criteria. If the monitoring program identifies that the performance standard cannot be achieved or if evidence of permanent impacts to the wetlands from the activities is documented, Chemours agrees to consult with the USACE to negotiate compensatory mitigation for impacts to wetlands.

Responses are provided for comments numbered 5.a.i through 5.d.i in the DEQ comment letter. These responses describe additions and modifications to the monitoring scope and serve as an addendum supplement to the existing Monitoring Plan. Wetlands referenced in this addendum are described in Section 3.1.1. of the Waters of the US Findings Report and detailed in Figure 1(a-c). 5a.i "Please speck the `additional information' that will be gathered as part of the baseline characterization. Specifically what data will be collected and how will it be collected? In Section 3.1.1. of the Waters of the US Findings Report seven distinct wetland areas were identified based on initial observations. Please expand the baseline assessment for the seven wetland areas to include characterization of landscape, soils, vegetation, and hydrology. The Division recommends NC Wetland Assessment Methodology (NCWAM) forms completed for each of the seven wetland areas identified to document baseline conditions of these wetland systems. Ideally, a licensed soil scientist should conduct the soils assessments. " Geosyntec will collect NCWAM forms within the center of each of the seven wetlands during 2022 data collection field effort, prior to barrier wall construction.

Additionally, a licensed soil scientist will conduct the soils assessments during the baseline characterization effort planned for September 2022. 5a. ii "The initial wetland determination sample points focus on wetland/upland edges which is appropriate for a delineation effort. However, the Division believes that plan should focus on systemwide functional monitoring of the resources. Therefore, please add additional data collection points in the central areas of wetlands W2, W3, and W6. " In an effort to better characterize the wetland form and function as a whole, and not just along the delineated boundaries, Geosyntec established nine additional data points during a 2021 preliminary baseline assessment within the central areas of the wetlands. Data points appended with a "U" (upgradient of the original datapoint) or "D" (downgradient of the original data point) are additional datapoints sampled in 2021 to supplement the original data points (Table 2). The locations of the original and additional data points are provided in Figure I of the addendum. These additional data points already established by Geosyntec are consistent with NCDEQs' request for additional data points.

" At the request of NCDEQ five transects with representative baseline groundwater gauges will be installed within wetlands 1, 2, 3, and 6. Five pairs of upland/wetland gauges will be installed in the wetlands and adjacent upland areas along a transect perpendicular to the wetland boundary (Figure 1); and remain in place throughout the course of the monitoring period. The gauges will be installed to a minimum depth of 15 inches below surface using USACE technical specifications outlined in the June 2005 Technical Standard for Water -Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites, ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2. The gauges are anticipated to be installed during mid -September 2022 prior to barrier wall installation to establish baseline conditions. engineers I scientists I innovators Wetland Monitoring Plan: Addendum September 15, 2022 Page 4 Geosyntec consultants CeasynWL Gmsa lie Ab of NQ P.C. NC Umnse Nw C-3,W and C-195 5a. iv "For any stream segments left as `non -impacted' on the western side of the proposed wall, please propose a baseline assessment. The Division recommends conducting DWR Stream Forms assessments pursuant to the North Carolina Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and their Origins, Version 4.11 for all stream proposed to be `nonimpacted. "' Geosyntec will conduct baseline assessment west of the barrier wall for the four non -impacted areas of the streams above the barrier wall using the DWR stream form identified by NCDEQ. These forms will be completed by an experienced biologist or one who has completed the NC Surface Water Identification Training Certificate program. Geosyntec will resurvey the streams west (non -impacted) and east (impacted) of the barrier wall semi-annually to occur in the early growing season and the late growing season. An emphasis of the detailed documentation of monitored streams' biology (macrobenthics and other biological indicators) will be incorporated into the development of the forms. 5b. i "Given the permanent drawdown expected from the proposed barrier wall and the connection between several of the wetlands' primary hydrology to the hillside/upstream seeps, the Division is concerned that visual observation monitoring is not sufficient to demonstrate a `no impact' determination. Therefore, the Division recommends direct hydrologic measurement using multiple groundwater gauges over a multiyear monitoring period. Groundwater gauges should be installed per US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) technical specifications guidance. " As described in response to comment 5a.iii., multiple groundwater gauges will be installed prior to the construction activities to provide baseline data. These data will be monitored continuously during the five year monitoring period. These data will offer further understanding of the influence of the remedy construction on recorded groundwater levels within the wetland study area. This will also allow specific measurement of hydrological changes of the ground water table in the wetlands. 5b.ii "The monitoring plan's performance standards need to be more specific and measurable. For example, groundwater gauges should meet a minimum 5% hydroperiod during the growing season each year under normal rainfall conditions. Please update the plan to include specific/measurable performance standards. The growing season start/end dates (and source of this information) should be specified in the monitoring plan. In addition, the distance from the site to the rainfall data sources should be provided if there is no on -site rain gauge. " To assess groundwater levels within the wetlands groundwater gauges will be monitored throughout the requested 5-year monitoring period post -construction. Each gauge will log groundwater elevation throughout the length of the study. A performance monitoring line of evidence for wetland conditions will be groundwater gauge data meeting a minimum of 5% hydroperiod (12.15 consecutive days) each year during the growing season indicated by groundwater within 12 inches (") of soil surface to meet the primary hydrology indicator for high water table. Note, annual reports will document the longest consecutive time period where groundwater levels were higher than 12" below soil surface for each groundwater engineers I scientists I innovators Wetland Monitoring Plan: Addendum September 15, 2022 Page 5 Geosyntec consultants CeasynWL Gmsa lie Ab of NQ P.C. NC Umnse Nw C-3,W and C-195 gauge, and document for each gauge the cumulative time groundwater levels were higher than 12" from soil surface during the growing season. The growing season is 16 March to 14 November (243 days) based on the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Bladen County Soil Survey, for each year under normal rainfall conditions (a review of NRCS WETS table growing season data did not yield any available data for Bladen or Cumberland Counties). Normal rainfall conditions are determined to occur when rainfall values for a typical year. Typical year conditions will generally be determined by: Normal precipitation conditions based on the three 30-day periods preceding the observation date. For each period, a weighted condition value is assigned by determining whether the 30-day precipitation total falls within, above, or below the 70th and 30th percentiles for totals from the same date range over the preceding 30 years. A determination of "normal," "wetter than normal," or "drier than normal" is made based on the condition value sum. The USACE's Antecedent Precipitation Tool will be consulted to assess typical year precipitation totals. Additional reference rainfall data will be assessed from the Fayetteville Area (PWC) monitoring station, located approximately 15 miles north of the Site. This station is the closest station to the Site which includes historical average month -to -date and year-to-date data to use as a reference for "normal" conditions. Rainfall data may also be augmented using data from Chemours' Onsite meteorological data station which records data on five minute intervals and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) W.O. Huske Dam precipitation gauge (station 02105500) which records rainfall data on 15 minute intervals. The Onsite met station is approximately one mile away from the wetlands and the USGS station is between 100 yards and one mile away from the wetlands. 5b. iii "In addition to groundwater monitoring, the Division believes that an annual assessment of vegetation composition and health is important. The proposed monitoring plan does identify good examples of negative wetland plant stressors (lack of growth/vigor, mortality, upland/pioneer plant competition). However, the monitoring plan proposes use of USACE wetland data forms as the assessment tool for identification of the vegetation stressors. These forms were developed as a delineation tool and not a monitoring/functional assessment tool. Therefore, please expand the proposed data collection to include information such as tree/shrub species, height, DBH, health, and wetland indicator status to assess changes in wetland community diversity, density and health. The Division recommends using NCWAMforms. " While use of the USACE methodology can provide adequate data on vegetative conditions by detailing species composition, dominance, indicator status, etc.; Geosyntec agrees with NCDEQ that additional data using NCWAM forms will provide even more detail on vegetative community species composition and condition/health and will supplement the monitoring plan well. Geosyntec will utilize NCWAM forms within each of the seven wetlands. Each form will be completed annually for a five year period at the same location within each wetland. 5c. i "To assess potential secondary impacts to surface waters, the Division believes that semi- annual assessments of surface hydrology indicators is necessary. Please update the monitoring plan to include conducting DWR Stream Form assessments pursuant to the North Carolina engineers I scientists I innovators Wetland Monitoring Plan: Addendum September 15, 2022 Page 6 Geosyntec consultants CeasynWL Gmsa lie Ab of NQ P.C. NC Umnse Nu: C-3,W and C-195 Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and their Origins, Version 4.11 for all stream segments on a semi-annual basis. " DWR Stream Form assessments will be conducted for each stream (Figure 1) by an experienced biologist or one who has completed the Surface Water Identification Training Certification course. The form will be completed at the same location semi-annually (early growing season and late growing season) to monitor for potential changes in surface hydrology and the effects on the biological community. 5d. i "The Division believes that three years will likely not be a sufficient length of time to visually assess the extent ofstream and wetland function degradation or loss. Therefore, please update the plan to include five years of monitoring for all elements. After five years, the groundwater data, surface hydrology indicators and vegetation composition/health should collectively provide evidence ofwhether the barrier wall is having an impact on adjacent wetlands and surface waters. This information along with a site re -delineation should allow proper assessment of whether state wetland and surface water resources have been lost or significantly degraded thereby potentially requiring mitigation. " At the request of NCDEQ, the monitoring period will be extended from three years to five years post -construction, while also including the additional monitoring protocol adjustments detailed above. Reports will be submitted annually to NCDEQ by January 31s1 of the following year. Encl.

September 23, 2022 Attn: Beau Hodge S&EC Job #15424.S1 2501 Blue Ridge Rd, Suite 430 Raleigh, NC 27607 Re: Soil Profile Descriptions for Chemours Site, Fayetteville, NC. Dear Mr. Hodge: Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA was contacted to conduct soil profile descriptions at the wetland determination data point locations provided by Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. Hand auger borings were advanced at the pre -selected locations to sufficient depth for the determination of the presence or absence of hydric soil indicators. The soil borings were described using techniques outlined in the "Field Book for Describing and Sampling Soils, Version 3" published by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS, 2012). Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA is pleased to be of service in this matter and we look forward to assisting in the successful completion of the project. If requested, S&EC can meet on -site with regulatory agencies to discuss our findings and recommendations. Please feel free to call with any questions or comments.
