(TEC) has conducted a field survey for the presence or absence of potential jurisdictional features on a 9.82-acre parcel located at 7520 Concord Highway, Monroe, NC 28110 (Union County Parcel: 08189011). The purpose of this survey was to identify potential stream or wetland features that are regulated by Section 401 or Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act. INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY & SITE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Prior to the initiation of field efforts, available resources were reviewed, including the appropriate U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey (Union County), and the National Wetlands Inventory Areas (NWI) database. A field review was conducted on June 8, 2022 by Larry Thompson, LSS, PWS and Gina Long, REHS. A three -parameter approach was used for the determination of wetlands (presence of hydric soils, hydrophitic vegetation, and evidence of jurisdictional hydrology) as outlined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (V.4.10, 2010), as developed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, was used to determine the presence or absence of jurisdictional streams. FINDINGS No potential jurisdictional stream or wetland features were identified within the project study area at the time of our field survey. CONCLUSION The findings presented herein represent TEC's professional opinion based on our field review and knowledge of the current rules and regulations governing jurisdictional stream and wetland features. This is not an approved delineation of jurisdictional features and is intended to serve as a planning document to confirm the presence or absence of jurisdictional features located within the project study area.
