Included in this evaluation is a desk audit of site-specific documentation and an onsite field evaluation.AWT's goal is to search for surface water and wetlands subject to Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA).These are jurisdictional Waters of the United States (WOTUS) regulated by the US Army Corps of Engineers and NC DWQ, respectively.These agencies reserve the right to amend outside agency determinations. As a result,AWT's findings are preliminary at this time. The whole point of the CWA section 404 and 401 is to regulate discharge of dredge or fill material into WOTUS, including wetlands. Any activity that introduces fill into a WOTUS requires permitting.A 404 permit is required through USACE, and a 401 Water Quality Certification is required through NC DWQ. These agencies work in tandem to regulate and protect our nations'water quality. Desk Audit- Document Review We complete a desk audit before each site visit.This is valuable in understanding the environmental characteristics of a site.Also, it provides a robust foundation for a thorough in field investigation.Table 1 is a summary of our desk audit for this site. Figures 1-4 are images showing the results of our desk audit.These are also in Attachment 1. NRCS Soil Survey map(paper version)-Streams shown on this map hold precedence over the NRCS Web Soil Survey. Streams delineated on this map is considered correct by NC DWQ and the US Army Corps of Engineers. In field documentation do not supersede the NRCS Soil Survey map. Figure 1. is this site's NRCS Soil Survey Map. �! `v Figure 1.This site is located on page 7 of the Moore County NRCS Soil Survey. No streams are shown here. uQ r ti. tr N Ask USGS Topographic 1:24,000 map- In addition to the NRCS Soil Survey paper maps; NC DWQ and the US Army Corps of Engineers accept streams shown on a USGS Topographic map at 1:24,000 scale. Streams seen on these sources are considered correct. In field documentation do not supersede this USGS map. Matthew Bambar-Streams and Wetlands\PARID: 20040425\Moore Co. NC June 20, 2022 Figure 2.

We follow USACE wetland delineation methods outlined in their 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual. We also refer to regional supplement for Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region. We evaluate streams according to NC DWQ Stream Identification methodologies and document our findings on their latest ID Form. Our Findings Throughout our field work, we document our findings with blue/white flagging, GPS, and photographs. Our GPS data is used to create a GIS map showing where streams and wetlands are found on site. We also use GIS to estimate the size of each wetland. Keep in mind this is an estimation and only through Matthew Bambar-Streams and Wetlands\PARID: 20040425\Moore Co. NC June 20, 2022 survey will the actual size be determined. Our Wetland and Stream Delineation map displaying our findings is in Attachment 2. When we evaluate a potential wetland, we are looking for three specific indicators.All three must be present to be considered a wetland: • Hydrology Indicators • Hydrophytic Vegetation • Hydric Soil Tables 2 discusses how each indicator is met for each wetland.Table 3 summarizes specific qualifiers for NC streams.

Stream Summary Stream ID Found on USGS Found on NRCS Soil Stream Score Stream Type 1:24,000 Survey (DWQ) S1 No No 29.5 Intermittent Conclusion Wetlands and streams have been located on this site.They meet CWA sections 404 and 401 and considered Waters of the US (WOTUS).These WOTUS require permitting through USACE (404) and NC DWQ(401) if impacts are considered. Please note the term impact refers to activities that will cause the release of fill into WOTUS. Additionally, impacts include but not limited to road crossing, clearing, development, utilities, etc. If impacts to these WOTUS are anticipated; AWT recommends submitting a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)to the US Army Corps of Engineers for an official acceptance (concurrence) of our findings. A concurrence is the first step of the permitting process.AWT can complete this task and follow through with permitting upon request. Matthew Bambar-Streams and Wetlands\PARID: 20040425\Moore Co.
