Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27699 Attn: Sue Homewood and Katie Merritt Re: Responses to Comments Eastfield Development 101 US Hwy 70A East Selma, NC 27576 Johnston County DWR#: 20221617 Dear Ms. Homewood and Ms. Merritt: 2401 Brentwood Rd, Suite 107 Raleigh, NC 27604 P (919) 873-2211 Terracon.com Terracon is pleased to submit on behalf of Eastfield Associates, LLC, the enclosed information in response to the Request for Additional Information letter dated January 4, 2023 for the Eastfield Development project. Each comment is addressed and responded to as follows: Division of Water Resources Comment 1: The application is considered incomplete until the conclusion of a public notice comment period pursuant to a Public Notice issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). If the USACE requests a response to any comments received during the Public Notice, please provide the Division with a copy of your response to the USACE. Response 1: The USACE Public Notice was published on January 17, 2023. Any requested responses to public comments will be provided in a timely manner after received by the applicant. Comment 2: Your application notes that stream buffer impact D is to be permitted under a separate application. The Division considers that area to be part of the overall projects, as shown in this application. The application submitted for Impact D, submitted as Eastfield Retail Block A (DWR# 20221707) will be incorporated into this project review. Response 2: Comment acknowledged. Comment 3: Please provide another copy of the wetland map. The map provided with the application is not legible. Response 3: Included with this letter is a copy of the wetland map and Jurisdictional Determination information. Explore with us Eastfield Development 1 Johnston County, NC February 3, 2023 1 Terracon Project No. 70217432 ierracon Comment 4: Please provide a jurisdictional features map that has been verified by the USACE. Please ensure the documentation includes confirmation that the pond that is adjacent to I95 has been determined to be isolated by the USACE and that the tributaries on the eastern portion of the project have been determined to be jurisdictional ditches rather than jurisdictional streams. The plan sheet provided with this application does not appear to match the wetland determination map previously submitted as part of the Nationwide Permit application for Providence Road Construction (DWR#20201750). Response 4: Included with this letter is a copy of the wetland map and Jurisdictional Determination information. Comment 5: Clarify whether a buffer determination has been conducted, and has not expired, for the entire project. Response 5: A buffer determination was conducted on April 4, 2022. Please see attached Buffer Determination Letter dated April 8, 2022, which expires on April 8, 2027. Comment 6: The application notes that some roadway impacts were previously approved by authorization under Nationwide Permits. All impacts that have been previously approved need to clearly called out in the application. The areas identified on the current plans do not appear to correspond with the plans in DWR Project #20201750. In addition, clearly indicate which previously approved impacts have been constructed and which have not been constructed to date. Please note that these impacts were approved under General Certification 4135 which has expired, therefore any impacts that have not been constructed will require reauthorization. Response 6: The previously approved impacts under DWR Project #20201750 are called out on the attached plans and impacts from construction are complete. Comment 7: Provide mitigation acceptance letters and/or statements of availability letters from your proposed mitigation providers. Response 7: A Statement of Availability from the Falling Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank is attached to this letter. Comment 8: The application states that the total impacts are approximate. The Division is unable to issue a 401 for approximate impacts. Provide detailed construction plans showing exact impact amounts. If the project is proposed to be constructed in phases, you may submit detailed construction plans for Phase 1 and conceptual plans and impact amounts for future phases. Please ensure that the detailed construction plans show the proposed fill slopes, any potential impacts for construction activities/access, appropriate dewatering as necessary, and any required sediment and erosion control measures. Response 8: The impacts that were indicated as approximate were proposed within the future residential development and have been removed from this application. The overall wetland impact map has been revised accordingly. For the future impacts 15 and E, a concept is being developed that will show the proposed improvements that are contemplated for that area. Comment 9: Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H .01305(b) "In assessing whether the proposed activity will comply with water quality standards, the Division shall evaluate if the proposed activity: (1) has avoided and minimized impacts to surface water and wetlands...". You have provided a statement that alternative site designs did not meet the applicants purpose and need. However, you have neither provided on -site alternative layouts, nor sufficient 2 Explore with us Eastfield Development 1 Johnston County, NC February 3, 2023 1 Terracon Project No. 70217432 r ierracon information to support that the current layout is the least impactful to the maximum extent practicable. Please provide more detailed information regarding why further modifications to any project components, such as reduction in the number of residential units or the size or layout of commercial buildings, or the reduction in widths or realignments of roads, or the reduction or redesign of industrial and/or commercial buildings within the project are not feasible to further reduce impacts. If the locations or widths of roads are dictated by local government requirements or transportation plans, then the avoidance and minimization analysis must be based on traffic analysis. DWR understands that many local governments require developers to design and construct roadways identified on the transportation plans, however DWR will evaluate the justifications for location and widths of these roads as if they were being proposed/designed by the local government. A statement that the location or design is required by the local government will not be considered a sufficient avoidance and minimization justification. Please note that if any of the justifications are based on financial reasons, then the justification should include specific detailed information regarding the loss of the area/facilities (number of lots, etc.) when considered as part of the entire project. In addition, construction and mitigation costs should be included in any financial justification. The following are specific areas where it appears further avoidance and/or minimization may be feasible. Provide traffic information that supports the proposed roadway design of two lanes with a center turn lane. It appears that Impact areas 6A could be avoided by removing 2 lots from the development. It appears that Impact area 6B could be avoided or reduced by removing up to 5 lots from the development. It appears that Impact area 6C could be avoided by removing up to 5 lots from the development. Response 9: Proposed impacts for the future residential development have been removed from this application. The overall wetland impact map has been revised accordingly. Comment 10: The plan sheets provided show impacts to buffers from a greenway in the vicinity of Impact 6A. However, these impacts do not appear to be included in this application. It also appears that there may be fill slope impacts to the riparian buffer in the vicinity of impact 6A. Clearly show fill slopes adjacent to/within all impact areas and buffers throughout the project. Response 10: Proposed impacts for the future residential development have been removed from this application. The overall wetland impact map has been revised accordingly. Comment 11: Provide a detailed description of the proposed development and associated infrastructure (parking, road network, etc.) in the Eastfield Industrial Park section of the project. Please ensure the description includes details regarding how the size of the project and necessary infrastructure has been determined. Please also provide a plan sheet that shows he future use/development for proposed Impact E. Response 11: For the future Eastfield Industrial Park, a concept is being developed that will show the proposed improvements that are contemplated for that area and this will be provided upon completion. 3 Explore with us Eastfield Development 1 Johnston County, NC February 3, 2023 1 Terracon Project No. 70217432 r ierracon Comment 12: Provide final construction drawings (plans, cross-section, and profiles) for the relocated jurisdictional tributary at proposed Impact E. Response 12: Following our call on 1/19/23, it was our understanding that a concept will be adequate to address this comment since final engineering has not been prepared yet. For the future Eastfield Industrial Park, a concept is being developed that will show the proposed improvements that are contemplated for that area and this will be submitted upon completion. Comment 13: It appears that the development has been designed such that future access to parcels located on the eastern edge of the property, just to the south of the future industrial development, would require additional impacts to wetlands, streams, ponds and buffers. Please provide an application and documents that show all future development areas are accessible and buildable without additional impacts, or incorporate future impacts into the current application. Response 13: The parcels located on the eastern edge of the property have been removed from this application. Comment 14: It appears that the project impacts have the potential to disconnect large wetlands. For example, the plans do not indicate that culverts will be installed within roadways to connect wetlands on either side of the proposed fill. Response 14: Culverts will be installed on roadways to connect wetlands on either side of the proposed fill. Additional detail drawings are being prepared and will be submitted upon completion. Comment 15: In order to carefully evaluate that all culvert installations will not cause water quality violations, please provide detailed culvert information, including culvert sizing as well as plan and profile drawings. You must provide detailed information for Phase 1 impacts; however, you may provide conceptual/typical plans for future phases. Response 15: The proposed residential component that included culvert installations in Bawdy Creek has been removed from this application. Comment 16: Please clarify if there will be any additional utility impacts within the project site. Response 16: Attached is an overall wetlands impact exhibit with the proposed water and sewer utilities depicted. There is a proposed waterline crossing underneath Bawdy Creek running parallel to HWY 70A that will utilize jack and bore methods to not impact the stream above. Comment 17: Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H.0506(b) "a 401 Water Quality Certification may only be issued upon determining that the proposed activity will comply with state water quality standards which includes designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the state's antidegradation policy, as defined in rules of 15A NCAC 02B .0200...". In assessing whether the proposed activity will comply with water quality standards, the Division shall evaluate if the proposed activity: (2) would cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards; (3) would result in secondary or cumulative impacts that cause or contribute to, or will cause or contribute to, a violation of water quality standards. The application states that the project is subject to a local government post construction water quality review, however according to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources website, this project is located outside of any local government jurisdiction for water quality stormwater review. 4 Explore with us Eastfield Development 1 Johnston County, NC February 3, 2023 1 Terracon Project No. 70217432 Terracon Therefore, in order to ensure protection of downstream water quality, please provide a complete stormwater management plan for review. Please ensure that it includes all appropriate supplemental forms, 0&M agreements, calculations, engineering drawings, etc., that complies with the requirements of the State Stormwater Program. The Stormwater Design Manual and applicable forms may be found on the DEMLR's website at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-mineral-land- permit-guidance/stormwater-bmp-manual. In addition, please also submit the application form SWU-101 (attached). However, the $505 application fee and last two signature pages of this form may be omitted. Response 17: A complete stormwater management plan is being prepared for review and will be submitted upon completion. Comment 18: Please provide a detailed qualitative indirect and cumulative impact analysis that clearly follows the steps outlined in the Division's policy for guidance on our website at: https://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/policies.

Each comment is addressed and responded to as follows: N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission Comment 1: NCWRC recommends maintaining 100-foot, native, forested buffers on all perennial streams and 50-foot, forested buffers on all intermittent streams. If wooded buffers do not exist, these areas should be revegetated or allowed to naturally revegetate to increase functionality. Periodic checks should be established to ensure invasive species are not growing in areas that have been disturbed during construction. Wooded buffers include a combination of native trees, shrubs, perennials, and warm season grasses. There are local nurseries that specifically sell native vegetation suitable for riparian areas. Non-native grassed buffers, particularly fescue, do not provide the necessary and highly valuable functions that forested buffers provide, including refugia and travel corridors for terrestrial wildlife species. In addition, forested buffers protect water quality by stabilizing stream banks and filtering stormwater, including sediment, nutrients, pesticides, and other material found in runoff. Response 1: The site design acknowledges this recommendation and will maintain native, forested buffers on streams and address invasive species as much as practicable. All required BMPs will be installed and maintained throughout construction to minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. Explore with us Eastfield Development 1 Johnston County, NC February 3, 2023 1 Terracon Project No. 70217432 r ierracon Comment 2: Small, isolated wetlands are not protected by state and federal regulations but provide critical breeding habitat for declining populations of amphibians. These areas are important for the protection of biodiversity, groundwater recharge, and reducing sedimentation and pollution into streams and rivers. These wetlands are considered an imperiled habitat in the 2015 North Carolina Wildlife Action Plan (https://www.ncwiIdIife.orci/plan). As such, the NCWRC recommends maintaining a 150-foot forested buffer around all small, isolated wetlands. Response 2: The site design acknowledges this comment and will maintain buffers on isolated wetlands as much as practicable. All required BMPs will be installed and maintained throughout construction to minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible. Comment 3: The NCWRC recommends the use of Low Impact Development (LID) technology and effective stormwater management strategies. Possible suggestions include engineered stormwater wetlands, bioswales, and permeable pavement. Information on other LID techniques can be found in 'Low Impact Development, A Guidebook for North Carolina': https://diaital.ncdcr.aov/digital/collection/pl6O62coII9/id/232781. Response 3: Comment acknowledged. As the Eastfield Crossing development is designed LID measures will be evaluated on if they will the best solution for each area of the overall development. Comment 4: Recreational areas and trails in open spaces should be located outside forested, riparian buffers and surfaced with pervious materials. Further information can be found here: https://www.railstotrails.org/build-trails/trail-building= toolbox/trail-building-and-desian/develoDina-trails-in-sensitive-areas/. Response 4: Comment acknowledged. Comment 5: Avoid the removal of large trees at the edges of construction corridors. Disturbed areas where stabilization is needed should be re -seeded with seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife - see attached Table. The NCWRC strongly recommends against the use of fescue -based mixtures and Sericea lespedeza (lespedeza cuneata) as stabilizing groundcover. Sericea lespedeza in particular is an egregious and invasive, non-native species that spreads easily and is very hard to eradicate. Native, annual small grains appropriate for the season are preferred and recommended. Pollinator mixes are commercially available and provide forage and shelter for numerous species of bees, butterflies, moths, and birds. Using native species instead of ornamentals should reduce the need for water, fertilizers, and pesticides, as well as preserve the natural integrity of the ecosystem. Response 5: Comment acknowledged. Impacts to existing vegetation will be minimized to the maximum extent possible and the stabilization measures called out in this comment will be reviewed and taken in account with the development. 2 Explore with us Eastfield Development 1 Johnston County, NC February 3, 2023 1 Terracon Project No. 70217432 r ierracon Comment 6: The NCWRC strongly encourages the use of native vegetation in public areas and rights -of way. In efforts to restore diversity and ecosystem functionality in a highly fragmented landscape, please also consider revegetating residential and commercial areas with native trees, shrubs, warm season grasses and perennials that are attractive and valuable to pollinating insects and other wildlife. The following website has a wide assortment of native vegetation specific to North Carolina. https://ncba.unc.edu/wp- content/uploads/sites/963/2019/08/NativePlantsWoody.pdf. In addition, there are numerous local nurseries that specialize in native plants for both upland and riparian areas. Free technical guidance from NCWRC biologists is available upon request. Response 6: Comment acknowledged. The proposed vegetation measures called out in this comment will be reviewed and taken in account with the development. Comment 7: Please confirm that all contractors and landscapers have been educated on proper herbicide use and protocol. In areas where native vegetation will be installed, please post signage to ensure that contractors will not spray on or in the vicinity of the vegetation. Staff biologists from NCWRC monitor numerous sites across the State where contractors and landscapers have unknowingly sprayed native vegetation because it was not clearly marked. Insecticides and herbicides should not be used within 100 feet of perennial streams and 50 feet of intermittent streams, or within floodplains and wetlands associated with these streams. Response 7: Comment acknowledged. It will be verified that contractors and landscapers working in the Eastfield Crossing development will be educated on proper herbicide use and protocol. Comment 8: In addition to standard erosion and sediment control measure, the use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices is strongly recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing and similar materials that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as they impede the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Existing DWR 401 certifications state that 'erosion control matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic twine shall not be used along streambanks or within wetlands. Exceptions to this condition require application to and written approval from DWR'. Plastic -free mesh or twine in all erosion control matting should be used in all areas within the project boundary. Response 8: Comment acknowledged. For erosion and sediment control plans that will be prepared for the Eastfield Crossing development, biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices will be evaluated for inclusion into the proposed design. 3 Explore with us Eastfield Development 1 Johnston County, NC February 3, 2023 1 Terracon Project No. 70217432 Terracon Should you have any questions regarding this project or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 617-9153.

Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked "Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify them to be subject to the buffer rules. There may be other streams located on the property that are not depicted on the maps referenced above and are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 0213, and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter.

Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) I am requesting that the Corps provide a breliminary JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision. G. ALL REQUESTS W1Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. ✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area 65 acres. ❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site. Version: May 2017 Page 4 Jurisdictional Determination Request H. REQUESTS FROM CONSULTANTS Project Coordinates (Decimal Degrees): Latitude: 35.51417 Longitude:-78.28091 A legible delineation map depicting the aquatic resources and the property/review area. Delineation maps must be no larger than I Ix17 and should contain the following: (Corps signature of submitted survey plats will occur after the submitted delineation map has been reviewed and approved).6 ■ North Arrow ■ Graphical Scale ■ Boundary of Review Area ■ Date ■ Location of data points for each Wetland Determination Data Form or tributary assessment reach. For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations: ■ Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404 wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features. ■ Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries, impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary, open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear length of each of these features as appropriate. ■ Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non - jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate. Completed Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region (at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type) 6 Please refer to the guidance document titled "Survey Standards for Jurisdictional Determinations" to ensure that the supplied map meets the necessary mapping standards. hU://www.saw.usace.anny.mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit- Pro,Lyram/Jurisdiction/ Version: May 2017 Page 5 Jurisdictional Determination Request ❑ Completed appropriate Jurisdictional Determination form • PJDs. please complete a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form' and include the Aquatic Resource Table • AJDs�please complete an Approved Jurisdictional Determination Form' ❑ Vicinity Map ❑� Aerial Photograph ❑ USGS Topographic Map Soil Survey Map Other Maps, as appropriate (e.g. National Wetland Inventory Map, Proposed Site Plan, previous delineation maps, LIDAR maps, FEMA floodplain maps) Landscape Photos (if taken) NCSAM and/or NCWAM Assessment Forms and Rating Sheets ❑ NC Division of Water Resources Stream Identification Forms hJ Other Assessment Forms ' www.saw.usace.army.miUPortals/59/docs/re ug latory/re,gdocs/JD/RGL 08-02_App_A Prelim_JD_Form_fillable.pdf ' Please see hU://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit-Program/Jurisdiction/ Principal Purpose: The information that you provide will be used in evaluating your request to determine whether there are any aquatic resources within the project area subject to federaljurisdictionunder the regulatory authorities referenced above.

Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.
