According to the Soil Survey of Union County' (Figures 3 and 4, attached), on -site soils consist of Badin
channery silty clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded (BdB2) and Cid channery silt loam, 1 to 5 percent
slopes (CmB).
Badin channery silty clay loam soils are well drained and exhibit moderate permeability. Cid channery silt
loam is moderately well drained to poorly drained and exhibits slow permeability. Neither Bardin channery
silty clay loam (BdB2) nor Cid channery silt loam (CmB) are listed in the North Carolina Hydric Soils List
for Union County2 or on the National Hydric Soils List.
Jurisdictional Determination
On May 7, 2015, CWS scientist Gregg Antemann, Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS) field -
reviewed Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. within the project area. Jurisdictional areas were
delineated (flagged in the field) using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) Routine On -Site
Determination Method. This flagging was surveyed with a submeter Trimble GPS unit and mapped
using GIS software. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation
Manual', the 2007 USACE Jurisdictional Determination Form Instructional Guidebook', with further
technical guidance from the Eastern Mountains & Piedmont Regional Supplement, dated April 2012.
• Wetland Determination Data Form representative of jurisdictional wetland areas is attached as DPI
• Wetland Determination Data Form representative of non -j urisdictional, upland areas is attached as
DP2. The locations of these data points are identified as DPI -DP2 on Figure 5 (attached).
Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to recent USACE and North Carolina
Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) guidance. These classifications include sampling with a D-
shaped dip net, photographic documentation, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which
a channel changes classification) within each on -site stream channel. NCDWR Stream Classification
Forms representative of Streams A and B are attached (SCP1 and SCP2, respectively). The locations
of these stream classification points are identified as SCP1 and SCP2 on Figure 5 (attached).
Results
The results of the on -site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there are two jurisdictional
stream channels (Streams A and B) and one jurisdictional wetland area (Wetland AA) located within the
project area (Figure 5, attached). On -Site waters include unnamed tributaries (UTs) to South Fork Crooked
Creek. South Fork Crooked Creek is part of the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)' and is rated "Class C
Waters" by the NCDWR. On -Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. total approximately 0.67 acre. On -Site
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are summarized in Table 1 (next page).

Table 1. Summary of on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
Perennial RPW s
Perennial Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs) are those that typically have year -round flow. These
streams typically have greater biological resources than Seasonal RPWs and Non -RPWs and are capable of
supporting those resources that require perennial flow. This section describes each on -site Perennial RPW
stream and the field observations supporting these determinations.
Stream A (R5UB2') flows southeast across the project area for approximately 609 linear feet (Figure 5,
attached). Stream A exhibited strong continuity of channel bed and bank, moderate flow, and an average
ordinary high water width of 2 to 5 feet. Biological sampling within Stream A revealed a weak presence of
crayfish and a moderate presence of amphibians. Stream characteristics indicate that continuous flow is
present year round in a typical year. Stream A was classified as a Relatively Pennanent Water with
perennial flow (RPW), according to USACE/EPA guidance. Perennial RPW Stream A scored 41 out of a
possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 31.75 out of a possible 63
points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form, indicating perennial status (SCP1, attached).
Photograph A (attached) is representative of Perennial RPW Stream A.
Seasonal RPWs
Seasonal RPWs are those that exhibit continuous flow seasonally. This flow regime is the result of a
lowering of the water table during dry periods that stops groundwater discharge to the stream channel.
Seasonal streams do not typically support aquatic life requiring year -round flow to support reproductive and
maturation stages. This section describes each on -site Seasonal RPW stream and the field observations
supporting these determinations.
Stream B (R4SB410) flows east across the project area for approximately 33 linear feet before discharging
to Wetland AA (Figure 5, attached). Stream B exhibits moderate continuity of channel bed and bank, weak
sinuosity and flow, and an average ordinary high water width of 3 to 6 feet. Observations within Stream B
8 Classifications of streams include Traditionally Navigable Waters (TNWs), Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs), and Non - Relatively
Permanent Waters (Non -RPWs) Subcategories of RPWs include perennial streams that typically have year -round flow, and seasonal
streams that have continuous flow at least seasonally Two classifications ofjunsdictional wetlands are used to describe proximity and
connection to TNWs These classifications include either adjacent or directly abutting Adjacent wetlands are defined as wetlands within
floodplams or in close proximity to a TNW but without a direct visible connection Abutting wetlands have a direct surface water

Wetlands
The USACE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define wetlands as: "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. "" The USACE uses three parameters to identify jurisdictional wetlands. These parameters
are as follows: 1) Hydrophytic Vegetation, 2) Wetland Hydrology, and 3) Hydric Soils. Except in certain
atypical situations, all three parameters must be present in order for an area to be determined to be a
jurisdictional wetland. This section describes each on -site jurisdictional wetland and the field observations
that led to their determinations.
Wetland AA (PFO1 B 12) is approximately 0.61 acre in extent and is located directly abutting Seasonal RPW
Stream B in the southwestern portion of the project area (Figure 5, attached). Wetland AA exhibits low
chroma soils (2.5Y 5/2) with many distinct mottles (7.5YR 5/6). Dominant vegetation in this wetland
includes American elm, sweetgum, willow oak, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), poison ivy, and
Virginia creeper. A Wetland Determination Data Form representative of Wetland AA is attached as DP1.
Photographs C and D (attached) are representative of Wetland AA.

Indian Trail Town Hall May 26, 2015
Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Request for Verification CWS Project No. 2015 -3530
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of the project is to construct a town hall facility and associated outdoor space for the
Town of Indian Trail. This project is necessary to provide facilities to govern and meet the growth
and demand of an area of Union County that is experiencing significant population growth due to its
proximity to Matthews and Charlotte. Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters are necessary to
construct roadway access and to connect sewer services to existing infrastructure. The project site
was selected due to its location and proximity to the center of the Town of Indian Trail.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
The Indian Trail Town Hall project has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever
possible and minimize the extent of necessary impacts to jurisdictional waters. The following
paragraphs outline the avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken during the planning and design
phase of this project
Avoidance
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. have been avoided wherever possible. The proposed impacts are
unavoidable due to the topography of the site, parcel orientation, and project goals. In areas where
impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are unavoidable, steps have been taken to minimize both
the extent and severity of the impacts.
An Alternatives Analysis was performed to determine the least damaging environmental alternative
that meets the primary goal of the project. The goal of the project is to provide a town hall facility
and associated outdoor space for the Town of Indian Trail. A no -build alternative and three potential
designs were assessed. Descriptions of each of the alternatives are given below.
No Build Alternative
Initially, a no -build alternative was considered. This alternative would result in not providing a town
hall facility for the Town of Indian Trail. With the continued growth in Indian Trail and northwestern
Union County, a no -build alternative would result in a lack of having facilities for elected officials and
town business. The need for Indian Trail town government facilities is critical as the area is rapidly
expanding. Therefore, the no -build alternative was eliminated from further consideration, since it
would not be reasonable or feasible given the projected growth, and ongoing and future development
within the area.
Town Hall Design I
The project's original design proposes a round -about at the facility entrance (Figure 6, attached)
Approximately 320 linear feet of additional culvert to convey Perennial RPW Stream A beneath the
proposed round -about and existing road. Additionally, in order to tie the proposed sanitary sewer line
to the existing sewer line, a utility crossing and manhole is proposed to impact Wetland AA.
Approximately 226 linear feet of Perennial RPW Stream A and 0.050 acre of Wetland AA are
proposed to be impacted by this design. Town Hall Design 1 proposes the most impacts to
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and therefore is eliminated from further consideration. Design
alternatives and proposed impacts are summarized in Table 2 (next page).
Indian Trail Town Hall May 26, 2015
Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Request for Verification CWS Project No. 2015 -3530
Town Hall Design 2
The second design aeration of the proposed Indian Trail Town Hall facilities eliminates the round-
about at the entrance and proposes a culvert extension (Figure 7, attached). Additionally, the
proposed sanitary sewer line crosses the wetland at a different location from the first design.
Approximately 128 linear feet of Perennial RPW Stream A and 0.082 acre of Wetland AA is proposed
to be impacted by this design. Town Hall Design 2 proposes to reduce the stream impacts, but
increase the wetland impacts. Therefore, this design is eliminated from further consideration. Table 2
(below) summarizes the design alternatives proposed impacts.
Town Hall Design 3 (Preferred Design)
The third design iteration of the proposed Indian Trail Town Hall facilities is the preferred design and
impacts the least amount of jurisdictional waters of the U S. This design eliminates the round -about at
the entrance, proposes a culvert extension, and reduces the proposed building footprint of the
proposed Town Hall (Figure 8, attached). Additionally, the proposed sanitary sewer line crosses the
wetland in the best practicable location with the goal of limiting impacts. Approximately 128 linear
feet of Perennial RPW Stream A and 0.022 acre of Wetland AA are proposed to be impacted by this
design. Town Hall Design 3 proposes to reduce the permanent stream and wetland impacts to the
maximum extent practicable. This design is the preferred design. Table 2 (below) summarizes the
design alternatives and proposed impacts
Table 2. Summary of proposed design iterations for Indian Trail Town Hall.
Minimization
Impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are limited to 128 linear feet of Perennial RPW stream
channel and 0.022 acre of jurisdictional wetlands, which includes 33 linear feet of permanent stream
impacts and 0.016 acre permanent wetland impacts (Table 3, page 8). The construction corridor will
not exceed the 30 -foot maximum corridor width through wetlands as a condition of the Section 401
Water Quality Certification. The permanent maintained portion of the right -of -way (R /W) corridor
will not exceed 10 feet in width through wetlands. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will
be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Anti -seep collars will be installed at the
downstream wetland boundary and every 150 feet up the gradient until the sewer trunk exits the
wetland. All channel work will be constructed in the dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification
No. 3890. In addition, all permanent maintained rights -of -way through wetlands will be permanently
marked in the field to avoid mowing and maintenance of additional wetland areas.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable permanent impacts associated with the construction of the Indian Trail Town Hall include
the relocation of a portion of Perennial RPW Stream A and the mechanized clearing of a portion of
Wetland AA, the on -site forested wetland. Permanent impacts will be the result of relocating a portion
of Stream A to flow through a proposed culvert extension and a 10 -foot wide permanently maintained
easement for a sanitary sewer crossing through a portion of the on -site forested wetland.
Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. total 128 linear feet of impacts to Perennial RPW Stream A
and 0.022 acre of wetlands (Figure 8, attached) Impacts to Stream A include 95 linear feet of temporary
impacts and 33 linear feet of permanent impacts. Impacts to Wetland AA include 0.006 acre of .
temporary impacts and 0.016 acre of permanent impacts.
Stream Impacts
Proposed impacts to jurisdictional stream channels resulting from the relocation of Perennial RPW
Stream A total 128 linear feet (Figures 8 and 9, attached). Of these impacts, 95 linear feet will be
temporary and 33 linear feet will be permanent.
The existing 110 linear foot 36 -inch and 30 -inch double reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) is proposed to be
extended by 70 linear feet (Figures 8 and 9, attached). This extension is necessary in order to construct
an entrance to the proposed facility utilizing the existing road infrastructure. The proposed entrance is
unavoidable as it is orientated opposite an existing road and traffic light. In order to re -route Stream A to
convey flows to the proposed culvert extension, 33 linear feet will be lost permanently via the culvert
extension. However, 95 linear feet are proposed to be relocated and designed utilizing natural channel
design techniques that will result in an ecological uplift of Stream A. A longitudinal profile and a cross
section of the proposed culvert extension are attached (Figures 9 and 10, respectively).
Wetland Impacts
Unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands resulting from a portion of Wetland AA total 0.022 acre
(Figure 8, attached). Of these impacts 0.006 acre will be temporary and 0.016 acre will be permanent
Impacts are the result of clearing a portion of the on -site forested wetland to facilitate the construction of
the proposed sanitary sewer (Figure 8, attached) Permanent impacts to on -site wetlands total 0.016 acre
and are the result of a 10 -foot wide permanent maintained easement through Wetland AA in which
forested wetlands will be permanently converted to maintained herbaceous wetlands. The 0.006 acre of
temporary impacts to Wetland AA will be mitigated through reforestation and will be returned to their
pre- construction grades, there will be no above grade fill
Unavoidable impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters are summarized in Table 3 (next page).

I. REQUESTS FOR CORPS APPROVAL OF SURVEY PLAT
Prior to final production of a Plat, the Wilmington District recommends that the Land
Surveyor electronically submit a draft of a Survey Plat to the Corps project manager for
review.
Due to storage limitations of our administrative records, the Corps requires that all hard -
copy submittals include at least one original Plat (to scale) that is no larger than 11 "x17"
(the use of match lines for larger tracts acceptable). Additional copies of a plat, including
those larger than 11 "x17 ", may also be submitted for Corps signature as needed. The
Corps also accepts electronic submittals of plats, such as those transmitted as a Portable
Document Format (PDF) file. Upon verification, the Corps can electronically sign these
plats and return them via e -mail to the requestor.
Plats submitted for approval must:
❑ be sealed and signed by a licensed professional land surveyor
❑ be to scale (all maps must include both a graphic scale and a verbal scale)
❑ be legible
❑ include a North Arrow, Scale(s), Title, Property Information
❑ include a legible WoUS Delineation Table of distances and bearings /metes and
bounds /GPS coordinates of all surveyed delineation points
❑ clearly depict surveyed property or project boundaries
❑ clearly identify the known surveyed point(s) used as reference (e.g. property
corner, USGS monument)
❑ when wetlands are depicted:
*include acreage (or square footage) of wetland polygons
*identify each wetland polygon using an alphanumeric system
❑ when tributaries are depicted:
*include either a surveyed, approximate centerline of tributary with
approximate width of tributary OR surveyed Ordinary High Water Marks
(OHWM) of tributary
*include linear footage of tributaries and calculated area (using
approximate widths or surveyed OHWM)

❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
® Field Determination. Date(s): May 7, 2014
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following- (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
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)
that 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) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

I D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
The Indian Trail Town Hall project has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever possible and minimize
the extent of necessary impacts to jurisdictional waters. The following paragraphs outline the avoidance and minimization
efforts undertaken during the planning and design phase of this project.
Avoidance
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. have been avoided wherever possible. The proposed impacts are unavoidable due to the
topography of the site, parcel orientation, and project goals. In areas where impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are
unavoidable, steps have been taken to minimize both the extent and severity of the impacts.
An Alternatives Analysis was performed to determine the least damaging environmental alternative that meets the primary
goal of the project. The goal of the project is to provide a town hall facility and associated outdoor space for the Town of
Indian Trail. A no -build alternative and three potential designs were assessed. Descriptions of each of the alternatives are
given below.
No Budd Alternative
Initially, a no -build alternative was considered. This alternative would result in not providing a town hall facility for the Town of
Indian Trail. With the continued growth in Indian Trail and northwestern Union County, a no -build alternative would result in a
lack of having facilities for elected officials and town business The need for Indian Trail town government facilities is critical
as the area is rapidly expanding. Therefore, the no -build alternative was eliminated from further consideration, since it would
not be reasonable or feasible given the projected growth, and ongoing and future development within the area.
Town Hall Design 1
The project's original design proposes a round -about at the facility entrance (Figure 6, attached). Approximately 320 linear
feet of additional culvert to convey Perennial RPW Stream A beneath the proposed round -about and existing road.
Additionally, in order to tie the proposed sanitary sewer line to the existing sewer line, a utility crossing and manhole is
proposed to impact Wetland AA. Approximately 226 linear feet of Perennial RPW Stream A and 0.050 acre of Wetland AA are
proposed to be impacted by this design. Town Hall Design 1 proposes the most impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
and therefore is eliminated from further consideration. Design alternatives and proposed impacts are summarized in Table 2
(next page).
Town Hall Design 2
The second design iteration of the proposed Indian Trail Town Hall facilities eliminates the round -about at the entrance and
proposes a culvert extension (Figure 7, attached). Additionally, the proposed sanitary sewer line crosses the wetland at a
different location from the first design. Approximately 128 linear feet of Perennial RPW Stream A and 0.082 acre of Wetland
AA is proposed to be impacted by this design Town Hall Design 2 proposes to reduce the stream impacts, but increase the
wetland impacts. Therefore, this design is eliminated from further consideration. Table 2 (below) summarizes the design
alternatives proposed impacts.
Town Hall Design 3 (Preferred Design)
The third design iteration of the proposed Indian Trail Town Hall facilities is the preferred design and impacts the least amount
of jurisdictional waters of the U.S This design eliminates the round -about at the entrance, proposes a culvert extension, and
reduces the proposed building footprint of the proposed Town Hall (Figure 8, attached). Additionally, the proposed sanitary
sewer line crosses the wetland in the best practicable location with the goal of limiting impacts. Approximately 128 linear feet
of Perennial RPW Stream A and 0.022 acre of Wetland AA are proposed to be impacted by this design. Town Hall Design 3
proposes to reduce the permanent stream and wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable. This design is the
preferred design. Table 2 (below) summarizes the design alternatives and proposed impacts
Minimization
Impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are limited to 128 linear feet of Perennial RPW stream channel and 0.022 acre of
jurisdictional wetlands, which includes 33 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and 0.016 acre permanent wetland impacts
(Table 3, page 8). The construction corridor will not exceed the 30 -foot maximum corridor width through wetlands as a
condition of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification. The permanent maintained portion of the right -of -way (R/W) corridor
will not exceed 10 feet in width through wetlands. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize
disturbances to downstream waters. Anti -seep collars will be installed at the downstream wetland boundary and every 150
feet up the gradient until the sewer trunk exits the wetland. All channel work will be constructed in the dry in accordance with
Water Quality Certification No. 3890. In addition, all permanent maintained rights -of -way through wetlands will be
permanently marked in the field to avoid mowing and maintenance of additional wetland areas.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment
and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics
identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation If a characteristic
cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment
section Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e g., the stream flows from a pasture into a
forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach.
The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest
quality.

Dear Kelly Thames
NCNHDE -285
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources from our database that have been compiled for the project referenced
above
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there
are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation /managed
areas within the proposed project boundary, or within a one -mile radius of the project boundary
Please note that the results of this query should not be substituted for site - specific surveys where suitable
habitat exists 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 In the event
that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records
Please also 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 also not be redistributed without permission
Thank you for your inquiry If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need
additional assistance, please contact Allison Schwarz Weakley at allison weakleyn ncdenr go v or
919 707 8629
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
