Wetland Impacts:
❑ Precise grading and final elevation contours must be provided. Existing
vegetation and any clearing must be specified.
❑ All subsurface utility lines must indicate the location of anti -seep collars.
Construction detail for anti -seep collars must be provided.
❑ Roadway or other crossings of riparian wetlands may require floodway culverts to
maintain existing hydrological conditions.
❑ Plans should show that the hydrology of remaining wetlands on the site will be
maintained.
Stream Impacts:
® Stream impacts must be clearly shown on the plans. The centerline as well as
the banks of the stream must be surveyed or located by GPS for the portion of
the stream to be impacted.

❑ Multiple culverts or sectioned box culverts typically require the use of sills, off-
setting or other means to match the cross section of the existing stream (in order
to maintain stream stability and provide aquatic life passage). A vertical cross
section of the culverts should be shown overlain with the up and downstream
stream cross section including the stream flood -prone area.
® Impacts associated with dam construction must indicate and enumerate all fill
associated with the dam footprint, spillway and any bank stream bank
stabilization. The length of stream impounded must also be indicated and
enumerated.

The project will consist of the construction of a solar farm and associated gravel roads for
access to the farm. The individual lists of impacts proposed for the project are summarized in
the table below.
Individual List of Stream Impacts
a °
4.0 PROJECT PURPOSE
The purpose of the project is to construct a solar farm facility to provide renewable electricity to
Graniteville County, North Carolina.
5.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project site currently contains vacant land, unpaved roads, and a utility right -of -way (ROW).
5.1 Streams and other Water of the US
The stream features on the site identified as Feature A, C, and D were identified as relatively
permanent water (RPW) tributaries by Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of USACE on December 18, 2014.
USACE did not identify wetlands on the site. The southwestern corner of the site near the
upper end of Feature C was not investigated for suspect wetlands since it was indicated that
impacts would be well up on the ridge above the upper end of Feature C. Features B and E
were identified as stormwater conveyances. See the Pre - existing Conditions Map in Appendix II
Exhibit 7.
5.2 Uplands
The uplands located within the proposed project area primarily consisted of vacant wooded and
overgrown clear cut land.

5.3 Local Hydrology
The site is located in the Roanoke River Basin. Hydrology within the project area appears to be
maintained through normal hydrologic processes. Surface water appears to be present for brief
periods, but the water table appears to be below the soil surface for most of the growing
season. The project will cause minimal disruption to the local hydrology.
6.0 SITE SELECTION
The site is currently undeveloped vacant land with development opportunities. The site has
adequate acreage and terrain that meet the development requirements for a successful solar
farm.
The stream impacts required by the proposed project have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent feasible. Waters of the US on the site were previously assessed by Eric
Alsmeyer of USACE on December 18, 2014 and a Jurisdictional Determination is pending.
7.0 ALTERNATIVES
Site and design alternatives were evaluated for the property to avoid and minimize the stream
impacts associated with the proposed project. The alternatives considered are summarized
below.
7.1 Alternative A: No -build
The no- action alternative for the project would be not to construct a solar farm and associated
access roads. The project purpose of constructing a solar farm would not be accomplished
under the no -build alternative. Therefore, the no -build alternative was rejected.
7.2 Alternative B: Alternative Alignment
An alternative alignment was considered for the access road. In order to access the solar farm
an alternative road alignment would be required in an area of an adjacent land parcel. An
alternative alignment would require purchase of additional property and would impact the
current property owner of the additional property. Additionally, an alternative access road
location to the site from Henry Wilson Road would likely result in similar stream impacts in a
different location. An alternate alignment was rejected due to the aforementioned factors.
7.3 Alternative C: Construct Using Proposed Plan Alignment
This alternative achieves the project purpose while avoiding and minimizing the stream impacts
to the maximum extent feasible. The chosen proposed alternative will consist of the construction
of the solar farm and associated access roads with the installation of appropriately sized culvert
through one stream for the proposed access road to the solar farm.

8.0 CUMULATIVE STREAM IMPACTS
Adverse effects are those that reduce the quality and /or quantity of habitat, including direct,
indirect, site specific, or habitat wide impacts, including individual, cumulative or synergistic
consequences of actions. The current plan balances the least stream impacts while meeting
the project purpose. The degree of threat associated with the proposed stream impacts are not
likely to adversely affect Waters of the US and they do not significantly alter the habitat of the
site or surrounding region.
9.0 MITIGATION
It was determined that no mitigation is required for the proposed solar farm and gravel road
construction project because the stream impacts will be a total of 0.013 acres of jurisdictional
streams.
10.0 WATER QUALITY
The receiving water body, Little Grassy Creek, is documented on the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Water Quality Assessment Status for 2012 as impaired for mercury
(HG) for fish consumption. The cause of impairment is HG in fish tissue. There are no
documented impairments downstream from the project site listed on the North Carolina 2014
303 (d) list for impaired waterbodies. The project will not contribute to the HG impairment.
This project meets the conditions of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) 401
Water Quality Certification Number 3886.
The proposed stream impacts and the associated solar farm project will not result in an increase
of turbidity in the receiving water systems that is substantially different from its current layout
except during the duration of construction. Additionally, no oils or other pollutants will be
released into the receiving water systems as a result of this project. All work performed during
construction will be conducted in a manner to prevent interference with any legitimate water
uses. The project is not likely to have an adverse effect on water quality.
11.0 STORMWATER
The applicant will implement best management practices that will minimize erosion and
migration of sediments on and off the project site during and after construction. Additionally,
land disturbance activity will comply with the North Carolina Division of Water Resources Water
Quality Certification No. 3886 and the NC DWQ Stormwater Best Management Practices

Manual as applicable. All stormwater runoff from built upon areas will be transported primarily
via vegetated conveyances. These practices will include the use of appropriate grading and
sloping techniques and erosion prevention and sediment control measures capable of
preventing erosion, migration of sediments, and bank failure. All disturbed land will be stabilized
and sloped where appropriate with a minimum 3:1 slope upon project completion as applicable.
Once the project is initiated, it will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner, minimizing
the period of disturbance to the environment.
Temporary best management practices such as silt fence and /or other diversionary structures
will be used during construction. Permanent stabilization of embankments will contain
appropriately sized rip -rap over geotextile liner or other similar approved permanent erosion
control features where applicable. Temporary and permanent stormwater controls may be used
to minimize sedimentation and erosion and minimize impact to the stream areas.
12.0 CULTURAL RESOURCES
A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS Service
(General Audience) revealed that no sites have been identified as eligible for listing or
potentially eligible for listing in the Federal Register of Historic Places on or immediately
adjacent to the project site.
13.0 PROTECTED SPECIES
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, the list of protected species known to
occur in Granville County was reviewed, and evaluations were performed regarding the
likelihood of the presence of each species within the project area. A search of the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database provided existing information concerning the
potential occurrence of threatened or endangered species within Granville County.
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Natural
Heritage Program database was also reviewed for information regarding species with state
endangered or threatened status. Information obtained from the USFWS and NCDENR
databases regarding state and /or federally rare, threatened, or endangered species in Granville
County is included in Table 13 -1.

Hi Eric,
Terracon will be working with the solar group to obtain a NWP 14 on this site as referenced in your email below. We
should have this application package ready for submittal to you next week. Right now we anticipate there will be one
r 1

stream crossing at Stream A on the northern portion of the site. We anticipate the impacts will be less than 0.1
acres. We are also trying to contact Earth Mark Mitigation bank to see if they service the area, but we have not gotten a
response.
• Are you aware of any other mitigation banks that service the area?
I will let you know when we send the application package.
Thanks!

Bruce: The following is based on my site visit at 3116 Henry Wilson Road, the site of your proposed solar array, on 18
December, 2014:
1) Features A, C and D, as shown on the attached maps, are tributaries, relatively permanent waters (RPW's)
subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and you would require a Corps of Engineers authorization to

impact those tributaries. The upper limit of D was flagged in the field and is approximately indicated on the
attached maps.
2) Features B and E are stormwater conveyances that are NOT subject to Section 404.
3) There are no wetlands in the areas of Features A,D, and lower end of Feature C near the central portion of the
site.
4) 1 did not investigate the upper end of Feature C near the southwestern corner of the property, since you
indicated that your closest impacts will be well up on the ridge above upper Feature C.
5) Your proposed road access crossing of Feature A will likely be authorized under Nationwide General Permit
(NWP) 14 for Linear Transportation Projects, and you will have to submit a Pre - Construction Notification to the
Corps and the NC Division of Water Resources, as we discussed. The culvert for the project will likely be greater
than 24 ", based on the size of Feature A, and the size of the downstream culvert on Henry Wilson Road, but an
engineer should calculate the required culvert size.
6) You will revise your plans to avoid impacts to Feature D.
A formal jurisdictional determination will accompany the verification for your NWP.

Yes, the project should not need a Stormwater Management Plan for less than 6% impervious.

Cherri,
It is my understanding that we will not need a Stormwater Management plan if our project (Solar Farm with a road
stream crossing) is less than 24% impervious. I was told that the project will be <6% impervious.
Is this correct.
Thanks again.

It will depend on whether the project is high density ( >24% impervious) or not. If you look at the last few pages of the
WQC, you'll see where low and high density are differentiated.

Ted,
The road crossing will require written concurrence from DWR, and there are state stormwater requirements that go
along with Water Quality Certification #3886. Here's a link to the certification language:

The stormwater requirements are found at the end of the document.
I'm sorry but I don't have any contacts in Granville County.

Thanks for the quick response and information. Feature A is subject to 404/401 permitting. Eric will be using NWP 14 for
Linear Transportation projects.
Do know a good contact for Granville County to see if they have stormwater requirements.

Hi Ted,
You'll need to talk with Eric Alsmeyer with the Corps of Engineers regarding whether Feature A is subject to 404/401
permitting. If it is subject to 404/401 permitting, then Eric can tell you what Nationwide Permit he'll be using to permit
the crossing. When you find out that, let me know so I can determine whether written concurrence is needed from the
DWR for the corresponding Water Quality Certification.
Since there are no state regulated riparian buffers in the Roanoke, diffuse flow is not an issue. I can't tell you whether a
Stormwater Management Plan is required at this point because I don't know if there's a 401 Water Quality Certification
or not, and I don't know what the imperviousness of the project is. In the meantime, you'll want to check with Granville
County to see if they have any stormwater requirements.
I hope this information helps get you started. Let me know if you have any other questions at this time.

Cherri,
I need guidance on the PCN 401 application. The stream crossing is on Feature A of the attached figure. It will be a road
for a Solar Site. Will a Stormwater Management Plan and /or Diffuse Flow Plan be required for this project?
Any further guidance will be greatly appreciated. You can give me a call if that would be easier.
Thanks,

Mr. Melchers,
Thank you for your questions. The site Waters of the State in eth Roanoke River Basin will not be subject to
the buffer rule, so no buffer determination is needed.

However, Waters of the State identified by the US Army Corp will be subject to 401 permit (for stream
crossing).
Please contact Cherri Smith at 919- 791 -4251 or by email at [e-mail], to inquire about PCN
401 application, and to determine whether a stormwater management plan will be required.
Sincerely,
Autumn Romanski

Autumn / James,
I have a few questions. We are working on a NWP application for a stream crossing for a solar site. The site is located at
3116 Henry Wilson Road in Oxford. Are there buffer rules in Granville County for the Roanoke River Basin. I have
attached a stream determination request. The site was assessed by USACE and they supplied us with their findings. The
attached map (ex. A) shows Feature A where the proposed stream crossing will be. I need to know if a stormwater
management plan will be required.
Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to call but the ice storm has things shut down.
Thank you.
