(Falcon) is re- submitting this Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) letter as a notice to the North Carolina Division of Water (NC DWQ) that the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn is requesting a revised 401 Certification permit relative to the proposed church construction, located on a 2.83 -acre parcel in Morrisville, Wake County, North Carolina. The development will include a church, parking lot, and office spaces /community buildings. Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification was issued on October 15, 2014 (DWR No.: 14- 1042), to authorize the permanent impact to waters of the United States of up to 0.25 acres on the site (0.16 acres wetland, 0.09 acres open water). The new institutional construction will impact a total of 0.47 acre of wetland, though only 0.38 acre requires mitigation according to USACE. No streams will be impacted by the project. Document Submittal: We herein provide NC DWQ with five (5) copies of each of the following documents relative to the 401 Certification permit (with the exception of the check) for the institutional development: • Check for $240.00 made out to "NC Division of Water Quality" • Combined USACE & NCDWQ Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) Form completed • Supporting Documentation Report, that presents a detailed delineation of the Waters of the United States on the property • Site data sheets (streams and wetlands) • Current engineering plans for the project • Discussion of the permitting requirements for this project • An outline of proposed impacts (below) Summary of Permitting and Mitigation Requirements: Karen Higgins 3 NC DWQ, WBSCP Unit- Raleigh, Wake County April 20, 2015 The Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn has contacted USACE in respect to federal permitting requirements pertinent to this project to mitigate for wetland impacts (no streams located on the property): • NWP 39 - Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 39 (Commercial & institutional Developments) Proposed Wetland Mitigation Plan: The Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn understands that mitigation will be required for the impacts to 0.38 -acre of the 0.47 -acre wetland. The Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn proposes the following mitigation for the impacts to the 0.38 -acre wetland: • The payment of $34,868.50 of in -lieu fees (Cape Fear River Basin) for a total of 0.50 -acre impacts to riparian wetland to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NC EEP) via the Department of Natural Resources Wetlands Trust Fund to fulfill compensatory- mitigation requirements. We hope that the information provided with this PCN letter is sufficient for NC DWQ to process this permit application in a timely manner.

C -1 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Falcon Engineering, Inc. (Falcon) was retained by Bobbit Design Build (Bobbit) to perform a wetland evaluation on an undeveloped property located in Wake County, more specifically at 909 Church Street, in Morrisville, North Carolina (PIN 0746 -64- 4139 -000). The purpose of this evaluation was to determine whether "waters of the United States" exist on the said property, and to thus determine the limits of any jurisdictional waters of the US on the subject property. On May 7, 2014, Mr. Jeremy Schewe, of Falcon, performed a detailed wetland evaluation at the 2.83 -acre subject site. The evaluated site is made up of one parcel located west of Church Street and north of Grace Point Road. Figure 1 shows the general location of the site on the Cary, North Carolina, USGS topographical quadrangle sheet and Figure 2 shows the applicable portion of the NRCS Wake County soil survey. During the field evaluation, a jurisdictional wetland (including a pond) was determined to exist on the site. The approximate size ( =0.4 acres) and location of the wetland area is depicted on the Figure 3. These depictions are for informational purposes only and do not constitute a certified survey of the area or provide the required jurisdictional determination. Based upon the findings of this field investigation, it is necessary for a licensed surveyor to produce a survey depicting the identified wetland area. An ephemeral stream was observed just off the site draining the wetland area from the north boundary of the property. This ephemeral stream drains to Kit Creek, which drains into Jordan Lake and eventually the Haw River. The professional opinion of Falcon Engineering is represented in the following report as to the presence and /or absence of wetland habitat and "other waters of the United States" and their boundaries within the 2.83 -acre partially wooded lot on Church Street. Verification of report findings, as well as the final determination of regulatory jurisdiction will be determined by representatives of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The US Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) and the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) should be contacted in order to coordinate a site meeting to provide a final ruling on this jurisdictional determination. The USACE and NCDDWQ must review, confirm, and approve all wetland and stream delineations in order for these determinations to be considered valid. iii REGULATION DEFINITION 1.1 Definition of "Waters of the United States" "Water of the United States" is a broad term, which includes intrastate lakes, rivers, perennial and intermittent streams, mudflats and sand flats, wetlands, sloughs, wet meadows, and natural ponds, which could affect interstate and foreign commerce. 1.2 Definition of Wetlands The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USCOE) defines a wetland as follows in an excerpt from the 1987 USCOE Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987): Wetlands are "those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Three criteria are used to determine if a subject property is classifiable as a wetland. These three criteria are soils, hydrology, and vegetation. 1. Soils: As currently defined by the USACE, indicators of hydric soils include a chroma value of 2 or less (i.e. grayish color) in the Munsell Soil Color Chart or a gleyed color, the presence of a sulfidic odor, a high organic content in surface layer of sandy soils, concretions (e.g. manganese), or the listing of the soil series on the national or local hydric soils list. 2. Hydrology: Primary indicators of wetland hydrology include the presence of free water in pit or saturated soils within the upper twelve inches of the soil, standing water or inundated conditions, sediment deposits, or drainage patterns. Secondary indicators include, but are not limited to, water stained leaves and oxidized root channels in the upper twelve inches of the soil. Only one primary hydrology indicator is required in order for an area to contain wetland hydrology, however two secondary indicators are required if there is no primary indicator present. 1 3. Vegetation: Vegetation commonly found in and adjacent to wetlands are rated based on the percentage of time that each species is found in a wetland or on high ground that is not wetland. Species found almost exclusively in wetlands (99% or more) are considered obligate wetland species (OBL). Species found 67% to 98% of the time in wetlands, are considered facultative wetland (FACW) species and species found in wetlands 34% to 66% of the time are considered facultative species (FAC). Facultative Upland Species (FACU) and Obligate Upland Species (UPL) refer to those species that occur predominately in upland, or non - wetland areas. A plus and minus system (e.g. FACW +, FAC -, etc.) is used to further define the level of occurrence of species in upland or wetland areas. In order for an evaluated area to meet the hydrophytic vegetation requirement, 50% or greater of the dominant plant species must be FAC or wetter. Positive indicators of all three parameters must be found in order for the area to be considered a wetland. 1.3 Regulation of Wetlands Wetlands are regulated "waters of the United States" under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Section 404, administered by USCOE, required permits for discharges of dredged or fill material into regulated "waters of the United States ". The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) also regulates any disturbance activities in wetlands or other waters of the United States in the state of North Carolina under the 401 permit process. 2 a F C-1 ' C) i� \F E= SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Site Location The site is located in Wake County, North Carolina. Specifically, the site is located at 909 Church Street in Morrisville, approximately 1 mile south of 1 -540 (See Figure 3). Church Street provides the eastern boundary of the property, while private residential lots bound the property to the north. Grace Point Road borders the property to the south and Barbee Road borders the property to the west. 2.2 General Site Description The site currently consists of 2.83 acres of partially wooded property. The site is located in a residential area, which had been highly developed within the past 15 years. The elevation of the site ranges from approximately 362 to 380 feet above mean sea level (msl). The wetlands and pond are found at an elevation of 374 feet above msl. The site has been disturbed. It appears that the property is the merger of several historical residential properties that were demolished and removed historically. Otherwise, the only effects of surrounding area development to the said property are to limit the amount of stormwater entering the site. The construction of Grace Point Road in 2007 seems to have caused a slight reduction in the amount of surface water runoff that enters the site, the pond, and thus the wetland. Native canopy trees remain throughout the site, which is mostly dominated by Salix nigra (Black Willow), Fraxinus pensylvanico (Green Ash), Liquidambar styaricflua (Sweetgum), Pinus taeda (Loblolly pine), and Acer rubrum (Red maple), all of which are at least indicator species of forested wetland ecosystems. An old farm pond was a central feature to the wetland observed. Runoff water from the site enters the pond and then slowly seeps through the failing dam and creates a seepage -fed riparian wetland complex that culminates at the north end of the property and is drained by a small ephemeral stream. According to Schafale & Weakley's Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina (3rd approximation), the wetland is roughly approximated to be a Semi - impermanent Impoundment or Upland Depression Swamp Forest. The overall topography of the site is fairly level. 3 SCOPE OF SERVICES 3.1 Performed Scope of Work Falcon was contracted to complete an evaluation and delineation of potentially jurisdictional features (i.e. wetlands) on the property. The Wake County GIS (NAPS), NCOne Map, and NRCS websites provided shapefiles to utilize in ArcGIS in order to generate maps depicting the property boundary, topography, hydrology, soils, orthophotography, and historic aerial photographs. A map and report discussing Falcon's findings were to be provided as a work product. The methodology for our work is discussed below. 3.2 Wetland Evaluation Methodology The detailed wetland delineation was completed using the current procedures specified and described in the "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" (January 1987 - Final Report). Prior to arriving on -site topographical maps, soil survey maps, orthophotography, and ArcGIS generated maps of the area were reviewed in order to preliminarily identify areas (e.g. drainages, hydric soils areas, areas showing standing water, etc.) where wetlands would likely exist. A historic wetland delineation of the site was also available, completed by the Catena Group in February of 2002, and reviewed prior to field investigation on May 7, 2014. The site was traversed on foot and evaluated for the presence of hydric soil indicators, evidence of wetland hydrology, and existence of hydrophytic vegetation. A transect (A) was established across the property and the wetland (see Figure 3), running east to west. Four (4) sample plots (A -1, A -2, A -3 and A -4) of 10 m2 each were established along the length of the transect. At each plot location, any hydrologic indicators were recorded, vegetation was identified, and a soil auger utilized (or test pit, dug to 24 inches depth) to collect a soil core to stratify and classify the soil conditions. A total of 4 plots were established for the purposes of data collection along 1 transect throughout site (see Figure 3). For each plot, plants were identified to species within the 10 m2 area of each plot. The percent relative cover of each species within the four common strata classifications was recorded: trees (T), shrubs & understory tree (S /S), herbs (H), woody vines (V). Wetland indicator status for each 4 species represented within the sample areas were obtained from the National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Survey. After the plant communities were defined, soil test pits were dug to a depth of 24 inches at the center of each plot. Soil samples were inspected for hydric soil indicators. A Munsell Soil Color Chart was used to identify the hue, value, and chroma of all soil samples at the exposed soil horizons. Two of the plots (A -2 & A -3) on the site demonstrated positive indicators of all three wetland parameters. The other two plots were clearly upland (A -1 & A -4) and had a dominance of upland characteristics. The following subsections help to define the parameters and findings of the three wetlands criteria throughout the site, including vegetation, hydrology, and soils. Further discussion of the site conditions is provided in the Results of Delineation section. 3.3 Stream Evaluation Methodology No streams were observed on the property. One ephemeral stream found off -site drains the wetland delineated for the purposes of this project off -site to the north. 5 RESULTS OF DELINEATION 4.1 Wetlands Determinations The project site was evaluated per the methodology described above and all likely areas within the project boundaries were evaluated. One wetland, including a pond, was identified at the site. An unnamed tributary (UT) of Kit Creek, that ultimately flows into Jordan Lake, flows from south to north beginning at the northern edge of the property and draining the wetland (see attached Figure 3 for approximate location). 1. Vegetation: The 2.83 -acre wooded lot was investigated for the presence of hydrophytic, or wetland vegetation, along the length of each of the 5 transects. Table 1 summarizes the total percentage of dominance (Dominance Test) and the Prevalence Index (not necessary for the completion of this study due to strength of the dominance test) of hydrophytic vegetation found within each sample location along the length of each transect.

The dominance of hydrophytic vegetation was observed in plots A -1 & A -2. Plots A -1 & A -4 were observed to be dominated by upland vegetation. Vegetation identified at the site can be viewed in detail on the field sheets. Paralleling these findings, in general, hydrologic and soil indicators on the site tends to mirror the results of the vegetation analysis, indicating an plot survey area as either wetland or upland area respectively.

Hydrology: Wetland hydrology consists of water that is on or near the surface of the soil for a significant period of time during the growing season. Many factors determine wetland hydrology such as topography, soil type, depth of the water table, and drainage. The hydrology of the 2.83 -acre lot indicates that wetlands are found on the site. A summary of the hydrologic indicators observed at the site are summarized in Table 2 below. TABLE 2 1 HYDROLOGIC DATA (909 CHURCH STREET) 1- Percent Dominance of hydrophytic vegetation (must be >50 %) 2 - Weighted prevalence index of hydrophytic vegetation (must be <_ 3.0) 3 - Percent absolute cover in the plot In general, hydrologic indicators were observed at the site in plots A -2 and A -3 where the plot incorporated the wetland as a result of seepage from the pond. Plots A -1 and A -4 did not exhibit wetland characteristics. 3. Soils: Hydric soils, as defined by USACE, are soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper 12" of the soil. A hydric soil is different from a non - hydric soil due to the induced anaerobic conditions that change the soil color, mottling, structure, and chemistry. The soil colors and mottling are described using a Munsell Soil Color Chart. Soil structure is determined via field soil texture tests. Soils are a product of site conditions such as slope, aspect, and drainage in conjunction with the source of the local geologic substrata and environmental conditions. The site was investigated for the presence of hydric soils via core samples along the 5 transects, to a depth of 24 inches. Soils must be hydric in the upper 12 inches for an area to be considered a wetland. The NRCS Buncombe County (NC) Soil survey shows the site to have two (2) types of soil mapped for the entire site (Figure 2). The soil types are both listed as well- drained on the soil survey: 0 'JF Transect : Plot Dominance Prevalence , Wetland Id Location Test' Index2 Vegetation ME, 100% WE 1- Percent Dominance of hydrophytic vegetation (must be >50 %) 2 - Weighted prevalence index of hydrophytic vegetation (must be <_ 3.0) 3 - Percent absolute cover in the plot In general, hydrologic indicators were observed at the site in plots A -2 and A -3 where the plot incorporated the wetland as a result of seepage from the pond.

A summary of the soil samples collected from the test pits in transects A -E are found in Table 3 below. TABLE 3 1 SOILS DATA (909 CHURCH STREET) Transect Identification.

Soils were saturated in plots A -2 & A -3. Plots A -1 & A -4 exhibited some hydric conditions. Plot A -1 demonstrated a reduced /depleted matrix as a result of anaerobic soil conditions created by wetland conditions and saturation at 4 inches of depth and below. Plot A -2 showed hydric conditions well below the 12 inch threshold, where hydric conditions were observed at 18 inches in depth. Anaerobic soil conditions were consistent throughout the entire wetlands area, with reduction of chroma, gleying, mucky mineral buildup, and other primary or secondary hydric soil indicators. Figure 3 provides a visual representation of the approximate, size, shape, and location of the conditions on the site. This figure is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a certified survey map or final approved jurisdictional determination. Any use of this figure for site planning or other purposes is strongly cautioned. 4.2 National Wetland Inventory The United States Department of Fish and Wildlife National Wetland Inventory Maps are developed from aerial photographs. The National Wetland Inventory Map (NWI) for the site shows no potential wetland areas located on the site. 4.3 Stream Determinations Drainages on property were minimally evaluated as described in the "Stream Evaluation Methodology" section above. The stream draining the wetland from the site is an ephemeral stream from the site on the northern boundary (See Figure 3). The ephemeral stream was not flagged as it is off -site. The site area drains to Kit Creek that ultimately flows into Jordan Lake and the Haw River. 9 'P ID CONCLUSIONS The USACE must review, confirm, and approve all wetland and stream delineations in order for these determinations to be considered valid. USACE confirmation most often requires a site visit with the appropriate agent assigned to the county that the site is in. A site meeting with USACE and NCDWQ may not be necessary. 5.1 Conclusions The detailed wetland delineation was completed on the Saint Sharble Church property, located at 909 Church Street on May 7, 2014. The site contains one wetland area of approximately 0.4 acre. It is the intention of the property owner to preserve the wetland. USACE approval of our field determinations should be obtained prior to finalizing site plans. Falcon Engineering staff are available to assist with the planning of the project and to further discuss relevant wetland and stream regulations and permit thresholds should site plans change that may involve any impacts to wetlands. la REFERENCES GIS. 2014.
