Dear Emma Radford,
Reference is made to Corps Action ID:SAW-2021-01396. Please reference this number on any correspondence regarding
this action.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of this e-mail, are
confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a sufficiently accurate and
reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within the identified review area.The location
and extent of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map entitled, "Potentially Jurisdictional Features
Map" and dated June 2021.
Regulatory Guidance Letter(RGL) 16-01 https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lco119/id/1256
provides guidance for Jurisdictional Determinations(JD) and states, "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type
where no JD has been requested." At this time we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied
upon for use in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. This verification does
not address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be interpreted
as such.
This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable action under
the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an AJD,which is an
appealable action.
If you wish to receive a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), or an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)
please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is required and we will not provide any additional
documentation.
**Due to workload volume, it may take 90- 120 days or more for the issuance of a standalone JD; however,you may use
the delineation for planning and permitting purposes.
Thank you,
April Norton

Good morning Ms. Norton,
Hope you are doing well! On behalf of our client, LDG Development, LLC, Kimley-Horn is submitting the attached Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination request for the Dearborn Drive Multi-Family Project located in Durham, Durham county, North Carolina.
The project proposes to develop an approximately 188-unit multi-family residential development on approximately 9.4-acres located
at 3651, 3701&3709 Dearborn Drive.
Kimley-Horn staff conducted a delineation on May 18, 2021 and identified one wetland (W1) and three streams(S1, S2,and S3)
within the project study area.Wetland W1 is a headwater wetland that originates near Old Oxford Road and flows east into stream
S1 and stream S2.Stream S1(INT)is an intermittent reach that originates at a small headcut below wetland W1. Stream S2 is an
intermittent channel that originates at a headcut below wetland W1.Stream S2 travels a short distance before flowing into stream
S1(INT). Stream S1(PER)is a perennial reach that originates at a large headcut below the confluence of stream S1(INT)and stream
S2.Stream S3 is an intermittent channel that originates at a headcut below an area of household debris dumping behind the
occupied homesite within the project study area.Stream S3 travels a short distance before flowing into stream S1 (PER).
Please review the attached PJD request and,if necessary, provide the first available dates you are free to conduct a field review to
