The Tobacco Road Mitigation Project (the "Project") is comprised of a 42.29-acre conservation easement contained within two parcels, split into three sections, in Alamance County, NC. The Project will involve the restoration, enhancement, and preservation of 11 unnamed tributaries of Motes Creek, the rehabilitation, enhancement, and creation of 23 wetlands,and the restoration,enhancement,and preservation of riparian buffers throughout the Project area. Through stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation, the Project presents 12,435 linear feet (LF) of proposed stream, generating 8,574.833 base Warm Stream Mitigation Units (SMUs) and 8,311.010 total SMUs (after non-standard buffer width credit adjustments).Through wetland rehabilitation,enhancement,and creation,the Project presents 4.979 acres of proposed wetland treatment, generating 2.096 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMUs).This site will be co-located with a DWR Riparian Buffer and Nutrient Offset Bank of the same name(Tobacco Road),which presents the opportunity to perform 988,522.708 ft2 (22.69 acres) of riparian buffer and nutrient offset mitigation for the Haw River Watershed; a tributary to B. Everett Jordan Lake in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B.0703, 15A NCAC 02B .0295, and 15A NCAC 02B .0267. The proposed Project will provide improvements to water quality, hydrologic function, habitat, and floodplain connectivity.The Project will address stressors identified in the watershed through nutrient removal,sediment removal, runoff filtration, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat. We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me at (336) 514-0927 or bcarroll@res.us if you have any additional question regarding this matter.

Erin Davis Please give a brief project description below and include location information. The Project is located in Alamance County,approximately 13 miles southwest of Burlington, NC near the intersection of Thom Road and Highway 54 in the Cape Fear River Basin within Cataloging Unit 03030002, 03030002050040, and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR)Sub-Basin 03-06-04.The Project consists of two parcels totaling 46.42 acres of conservation easement.The Project has a total drainage area of 458 acres and is mainly a mix of forested and agricultural land including rowcrop and active pasture; aerial imagery indicates that the Project area has historically served these land uses. Stressors currently affecting the Project include row crop, livestock production and a lack of riparian buffers. The Project will involve the stream restoration, enhancement, and preservation of several unnamed tributaries including,TR1 (TR1-A, TR1-B,TR1-C,TR1-D,TR1-E,TR1-F),TR2, MN1 (MN1-A, MN1-B, MN1-C), MN2(MN2-A, MN2-B), MN3, MN4 (MN4-A, MN4-B), MN5 (MN5-A, MN5-B), MN6(MN6-A, MN6-B), MN7(MN7-A, MN7-B), and MN8. Reaches are broken up by treatment type.TR1 flows east to west towards Mineral Springs Road. MN1, MN2, MN3,and MN7 flow south before coming to confluences with TR1. MN4, MN5, and MN6 flow north before coming to confluences with TR1.TR2 flows to the west, paralleling TR1-C before draining to it,just before the confluence of TR1-D and MN5-B. In addition to the stream reaches, there are multiple degraded wetland areas within the project area that have been impacted by livestock access and/or ditching.The conceptual design presents 12,899 linear feet of stream mitigation generating 7,074.796 Stream Mitigation Units(SMU)and 0.58 acres of wetland mitigation generating 0.139 Wetland Mitigation Units (WMU). In addition to stream and wetland mitigation,the Project also presents the opportunity to provide up to 44 acres of Riparian Buffer Mitigation generating 16.05 acres of Riparian Buffer Credits.The Project will provide critical ecological uplift to aquatic and riparian corridors that would otherwise be even further degraded by agricultural uses and continued livestock access.

(Property Own1W Authorized Signature) (Date) (Property Owner Authorized Signature) (Date) Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION(JD)TYPE (Select One) ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary 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 Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. '❑ Size of Property or Review Area 130 acres. ✓❑ The property boundary(or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

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.http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Re ug latory-Permit- Pro gram/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 aAerial 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) ❑ NCWAM and/or NCWAM Assessment Forms and Rating Sheets ❑ NC Division of Water Resources Stream Identification Forms ❑ Other Assessment Forms ' www.saw.usace.army.mil/Portals/59/docs/regulatoM/regdocs/JD/RGL 08-02_App_A_Prelim JD Form fillable.pdf ' Please see hqp://www.saw.usace.army.miIA4issions/Re ug latory-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 federal jurisdiction under the regulatory authorities referenced above.

(2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3)the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit)or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. 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.

Jeremy Schmid Senior Ecologist RES I res.us <Blockedhttp://res.us/> Mobile: 919.345.3034 Restoring a resilient earth for a modern world From: Jeremy Schmid Sent: Tuesday, March 1, 2022 10:43 AM To: Samantha.J.DaileyPusace.army.mil Subject: Tobacco Road (SAW2021-00489) Preliminary JD Request Hi Sam, Hope you are doing well! I have attached a PJD request for the Tobacco Road Mitigation Site. We performed the delineation back in early December while the state wide drought was still ongoing. Despite the drought, the majority of the wetlands still had strong hydrology due to the massive amount of seeps out there. The study area shown is slightly wider in areas than our proposed easement in order to capture origins of some jurisdictional features. I know you have seen most of the site but let me know if you would like to schedule a visit to see any of these features. And of course let me know if you need anything else or have questions.

Cameron Ingram, Executive Director Via Email 28 March 2022 Emily Ulman Resource Environmental Solutions,LLC 3600 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 100 Raleigh,NC 27612 SUBJECT: Environmental Review of the Tobacco Road Mitigation Site in Alamance County,North Carolina. Dear Ms.Ulman, Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission(NCWRC)received your request for review and comments on any possible concerns regarding the Tobacco Road Mitigation Site. Comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). The Tobacco Road Mitigation Site is located northeast and northwest of the intersection of Thom Road and NC Highway 54 near Saxapahaw,Alamance County,North Carolina. The proposed project would restore, enhance, and protect perennial and intermittent streams,wetlands, and riparian buffers within a 41.87-acre conservation easement in the Cape Fear River basin. The existing land use is a mix of forested and agricultural lands, including row crops and active pasture. We have no known records for rare,threatened,or endangered species within the site. The lack of records from the site does not imply or confirm the absence of federal or state-listed species. An on-site survey is the only means to determine if the proposed project may impact federal or state rare,threatened, or endangered species. Mitigation projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native,forested buffers in riparian areas will help protect water quality,improve aquatic and terrestrial habitats,and provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. We offer the following general recommendations to minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources: 1. We recommend riparian buffers are as wide as possible,given site constraints and landowner needs. NCWRC generally recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on perennial streams to maximize the benefits of buffers,including bank stability, stream shading,treatment of overland runoff, and wildlife habitat. Mailing Address: Habitat Conservation • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh,NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 707-0220 • Fax: (919) 707-0028 Page 2 28 March 2022 Tobacco Road Mitigation Site Alamance County 2. We recommend a plant list that consists of species typically found in reference streams and the appropriate natural vegetation community, as described by M.P. Schafale in The Guide To The Natural Communities of North Carolina,Fourth Approximation (https://www.ncOp.org/references/nhp-publications/fourth-approximation-descriptions).Also, ensure the species planted occur naturally within Alamance County. 3. Avoid using orchard grass,fescue,or cereal rye,which exhibits allelopathic characteristics, or any other non-native species for soil stabilization. Alternatively,use a grain, such as oats,wheat, or browntop millet for temporary cover and native seed mixes for permeant seeding. We recommend planting a mix of grasses and native,wildflower seed mixes that will create pollinator habitat within the project boundary. 4. 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 that has been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as it impedes the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills.

Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: httl2s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally- listed species are documented near the project area. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod nev.butler(a)ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.

The project, as advertised in the Public Notice, is expected to have minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Therefore, we have no objection to the activity as described in the permit application. In accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, (ESA) and based on the information provided, and other available information, it appears the action is not likely to adversely affect federally listed species or their critical habitat as defined by the ESA. We believe that the requirements of section 7 (a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied for this project. Please remember that obligations under the ESA must be reconsidered if: (1) new information identifies impacts of this action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2)this action is modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. For your convenience a list of all federally protected endangered and threatened species in North Carolina is now available on our website at<http://www.fws.gov/raleigh>. Our web page contains a complete and updated list of federally protected species, and a list of federal species of concern known to occur in each county in North Carolina. The Service appreciates the opportunity to review and provide comments on the proposed action.
