Re: Preliminary Jurisdictional Delineation Effort
Springdale Country Club, Canton, Haywood County, North Carolina
Project LR23-003_B

Mr. Gregg:

Acer Environmental, LLC appreciate the opportunity to offer our services. At your request, I
have conducted a jurisdictional wetland/stream delineation within a portion of the Springdale
Country Club, located at 200 Golfwatch Road, Canton, Haywood County, North Carolina on 20
January 2023.

Waters of the U.S., including streams and wetlands, are defined by 33 CFR Part 328.3 et al. and
are protected by Section 404 and other applicable sections of the Clean Water Act (33 USC
1344). Impacts to these regulated resources are administered and enforced by the Wilmington
District of the USACE, as well as other federal and state government agencies.

Prior to initiation of the field effort, we reviewed existing online resources, including the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) digital 7.5′ topography, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Haywood County Soil Survey (digital version), and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) online Wetlands
Mapper.

The delineation area is a small portion of the property, centered on a recently restored stream
channel. This channel had been previously impacted by catastrophic flooding and appears to
have been restored with grading in the immediate area. A review of online resources, including
USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles and US Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory
mapping appear to show that the channel has been restored very close to its original location.

Based on the site review and soil borings, there appears to be a small wetland seep and stream
channel that are likely jurisdictional. Soil borings around the likely jurisdictional wetland area
show ground disturbance with a mix of soil types the extend below the elevation of the existing
wetland area.

The likely jurisdictional wetland area is approximately 3,300 square feet in areal extent within
the project study area. The likely jurisdictional stream channel is approximately 653 linear feet
in length within the project study area.

Please note, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has final authority to determine jurisdictional
status on Waters of the United States, and these findings are preliminary in n ature until
confirmed, in writing, by the USACOE.

If you have any questions or comments, or need any additional information, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Jan Gay

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.

Survey Area Data: Version 24, Sep 12, 2022
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Apr 1, 2022—May 9,

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
