Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) 7 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision. G. ALL REQUESTS Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. ✓� Size of Property or Review Area 4.30 acres. ❑✓ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site. Version: May 2017 Page 4 Jurisdictional Determination Request H. REQUESTS FROM CONSULTANTS Project Coordinates (Decimal Degrees): Latitude: 34.700694 Longitude: -79.029222 A legible delineation map depicting the aquatic resources and the property/review area. Delineation maps must be no larger than 1 Ix 17 and should contain the following: (Corps signature of submitted survey plats will occur after the submitted delineation map has been reviewed and approved).6 ■ North Arrow ■ Graphical Scale ■ Boundary of Review Area ■ Date ■ Location of data points for each Wetland Determination Data Form or tributary assessment reach. For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations: ■ Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404 wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features. ■ Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries, impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary, open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear length of each of these features as appropriate. ■ Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non - jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate. Completed Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region (at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type) 6 Please refer to the guidance document titled "Survey Standards for Jurisdictional Determinations" to ensure that the supplied map meets the necessary mapping standards. hM2://www.saw.usace.4rmy.mil/Missions/Regulatoly-Permit- Pro gram/Jurisdiction/ Version: May 2017 Page 5 Jurisdictional Determination Request F4Completed appropriate Jurisdictional Determination form • PJDs, please complete a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form' and include the Aquatic Resource Table • AJDS• please complete an Approved Jurisdictional Determination Form'.

Further, an AJD, 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. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.

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. Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service 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. Soil Survey Area: Robeson County, North Carolina Survey Area Data: Version 21, 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 17, 2022—May 20, 2022 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.

(If needed, explain any answers in Remarks.) SUMMARY OF FINDINGS — Attach site map showing sampling point locations, transects, important features, etc. Hydrophytic Vegetation Present? Yes X No Is the Sampled Area Hydric Soil Present? Yes No X within a Wetland? Yes No X Wetland Hydrology Present? Yes X No Remarks: Data point is approximately 8 ft. outside of flag W13-05. This data point is representative for all wetlands present.
