Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27604 Re: Murphy's Ridge Subdivision Request for Jurisdictional Determination, NWP 29, and GC 4256 Verification Oxford, Granville County, NC Sage Project #2023.055 On behalf of Askeaton Realty, LLC (c/o John Downes) (owner and applicant), please find attached a complete application and supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that the activities associated with the proposed development of the Murphy's Ridge Subdivision (Project) may proceed under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 and General Certification 4256 (GC 4256). A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) request is also being submitted with this permit application. Project Purpose and Location The purpose of the Project is to construct a residential subdivision with associated attendant features (roads, utilities, and other infrastructure). The +/-220.12-acre Project is located immediately north of the intersection of Enon Road and Crown Oaks Drive in Oxford, Granville County, NC. The coordinates of 36.2509°N, 78.7775°W generally correspond to the center of the Site. The Site is within the piedmont region of North Carolina and within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 030202010401). Protect Detail The proposed Project involves construction of a residential development with attendant infrastructure. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and streams are proposed to reach upland portions of the Site for development. Access to the Site will be provided by one road connection to the existing Enon Road to the south. The Project proposes to utilize on -site well and septic systems for drinking water and wastewater treatment, respectively. The Site consists of mostly undeveloped forest, with a powerline easement and a small, maintained field located in the southern portion of the Site. The tree canopy consists of mature pines and hardwood trees. Large portions of the Site have been clearcut within the last decade and are undergoing succession. In these areas, juvenile shortleaf and loblolly pines tend to be the dominant canopy species. The terrain of the Site ranges; with large hills, steep drainages, and flat floodplains occurring throughout. Land use in the vicinity includes residential, agricultural and forested land, and undeveloped land. The Project is located within a High Quality Water (HQW) zone. Uncovered areas in HQW zones shall be limited to a total of 20 acres within the boundaries of the tract at any given time. Disturbance will be split into three phases: infrastructure phase 1, infrastructure phase 2, and phase 3 - individual lot construction. Sediment and erosion control plans will be reviewed and approved by Granville County prior to any site disturbance. Murphy's Ridge Subdivision Page 1 of 3 Proposed permanent wetland and stream impacts will result from one culverted road crossing. Proposed permanent wetland impacts total 0.007 acre (333 SF) and proposed permanent stream impacts total 85 LF (664 SF / 0.015 acre) to install one culvert. A riprap dissipator pad at the culvert outlet is proposed as permanent — no loss impacts totaling 32 LF (828 SF / 0.019 acre). The riprap will be keyed into the banks and will be installed flush with the existing stream bed elevation. Temporary stream impacts due to dewatering to construct the culvert will be 58 LF (467 SF / 0.01 acre). Proposed temporary wetland impacts total 387 SF (0.009 acre) for culvert construction. Total riparian buffer impacts are 16,576 SF (0.38 acre) to construct the road crossing. Potential sanitary sewerlines to reach additional septic areas will be directionally bored under the riparian buffer and streams resulting in no impacts. Stormwater detention ponds are proposed to treat stormwater on the Site. Typical equipment used in residential construction and utility projects (i.e., backhoes, excavators, dump trucks) will be utilized. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database, four threatened and endangered species, one Proposed Endangered species, one Candidate species, and the bald eagle are listed as potentially present on the Site. Potentially suitable habitat for Carolina madtom and Neuse River waterdog is present within Stream SA (Knap of the Reeds Creek) and Stream SB. However, the closest Identified Stream Reach (ISR) for each species is separated from the Site by the Lake Butner dam. Potential marginal habitat for harperella is present in Stream SB. Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower is present within the overhead transmission easement that runs along the southwestern corner of the Site. No work is proposed in this area. Potential habitat for tri-colored bat (Proposed Endangered) and monarch butterfly (Candidate) is present on the Site. Multiple farm ponds of sufficient size to support foraging habitat for bald eagles are nearby the Site; however, no individuals or nests were observed during the Site visit. The Site is not listed as a historic property or within a historic district. No historic structures were found on the Site and no historic properties were listed within one mile of the Site. Figure 4 provides a graphical representation of nearby historic properties in relation to the Site. Project History A Site delineation was completed by Mr. Ryan Elliott and Mr. Ian Warr of Sage Ecological Services, Inc. (Sage) in May 2023. A PJD is being requested with this application. A Buffer Determination site meeting was held on May 15, 2023, with Mr. Jim Wescott of NCDWR. The Buffer Determination Letter is attached. Avoidance and Minimization A wetland, stream, and riparian buffer delineation were performed to identify environmentally sensitive areas on the Site prior to site design. The Project was designed to avoid & minimize impacts to jurisdictional features while meeting the goals of the residential development plan. Lots were positioned to avoid impacts to wetlands. The construction of the stormwater control measures avoids impacts to jurisdictional features. Sage worked closely with the design engineer to minimize the impacts of the culverted stream crossing. The original iteration would have required stream mitigation; however, the final site design is below mitigation thresholds. General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Equipment will be parked and cleaned in uplands away from jurisdictional areas. Work within jurisdictional areas will be conducted during periods when dry weather is predicted, and large bare areas of soil will be reseeded and protected as soon as practicable. Silt fencing and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into the stream and wetland areas. Project Impacts Impacts to jurisdictional Waters of the US will result from a proposed road crossing to access upland portions of the Site for the development. Construction of one culvert will result in permanent wetland impacts totaling 0.007 acre (WE & WE1) and temporary wetland impacts totaling 0.009 acre (WE). Permanent stream impacts total 85 LF (664 SF / 0.015 acre), permanent — no loss impacts for a riprap dissipater pad total 32 LF (828 SF / 0.019 acre), and total temporary stream impacts total 58 LF (467 SF / 0.01 acre) for dewatering (SE). Impacts to riparian buffers will result from construction of the road crossing of Stream SE. Permanent Zone 1 impacts total 6,404 SF (0.14 acre) and permanent Zone 2 impacts total 6,402 SF (0.14 acre). Total temporary Murphy's Ridge Subdivision Page 2 of 3 Zone 1 impacts are 2,601 SF (0.06 acre) and total temporary Zone 2 impacts are 1,169 SF 90.02 acre). Total riparian buffer impacts are 16,576 SF (0.38 acre). Mitigation Proposed stream and wetland impacts are below mitigable thresholds and proposed riparian buffer impacts are considered "Allowable Upon Authorization." Therefore, no mitigation is required for this Project. If you have any questions, please call me at (919) 622-7888. Respectfully submitted: Kim Hamlin, PWS Sage Ecological Services, Inc.

The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information. Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area.

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often required. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement cmmly be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly.

This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence(m) Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/42KLMDBJKJA4XIZRQ7QGCHR5MI/resources 4/7 5/19/23, 2:16 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. Breeding Season ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort(I) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. ■ probability of presence breeding season I survey effor no to SPECIES JAN FIB MAR APR Ma/ JUN JUL AUG SIP OCT N Bald Eagle III IIII IIII IIII IIII hil III —++ IIII ANon-BCC VulnerableChimney Swift _--_---- ---- BCC Rangewide (CON) Eastern Whip -poor -will — — — — — — — — ---- BCC Rangewide (CON) Kentucky Warbler Al "" "" — — — — — — — — BCC Rangewide (CON) Prairie Warbler ---- ---- BCC Rangewide (CON) Red-headed Woodpecker _--' '--- BCC Rangewide (CON) .� Wood Thrush ' Jill Jill 111� ' — — — — — — — — BCC Rangewide (CON) _ Tell me more about conservation measures I can Vplement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.

How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area? https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/42KLMDBJKJA4XIZRQ7QGCHR5MI/resources 5/7 5/19/23, 2:16 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds areBirds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of tKogle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit theNortheast Ocean Data Portal The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through tNQAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Map in of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Contine al hell p ject webpage.

Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your proje re ly a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in yo r project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact ;&�ct footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project areewhen they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or min?mize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the locEU.S. Army Cor sp of Engineers District Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to update our NWI data set. We recommend you verify these results with a site visit to determine the actual extent of wetlands on site. This location overlaps the following wetlands: FRESHWATER FORESTED/SHRUB WETLAND PF01A RIVEPINE R4SBC A full description for each wetland code can be found at th(National Wetlands Inventory website 16, NOTE: This initial screening does not replace an on -site delineation to determine whether wetlands occur. Additional information o the NWI data is provided below. Data limitations 40 The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information onfh}e location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any rti Ic ae may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the e e ence of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata oul e consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems. Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since th date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicthe map and the actual conditions on site. Data exclusions Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. Data precautions Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate Federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities. https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/42KLMDBJKJA4XIZRQ7QGCHR5MI/resources 7/7 Roy Cooper, Governor 9" 0 INC DEPARTMENT OF ""i ■ WMk.M 1 NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES ■-000 May 19, 2023 Kim Hamlin Sage Ecological Services, Inc. 3707 Swift Drive Raleigh, NC 27606 RE: Enon Road; 2023.055 Dear Kim Hamlin: 13. Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program IR ►�70Id�7�A['i7�a The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please 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 not be redistributed without permission. Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.

Stream, wetland, or pond impacts are still subject to applicable water quality standards and permitting requirements. Explanation: The stream(s)/pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked "Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify them to be subject to the buffer rules. There may be other streams located on the property that are not depicted on the maps referenced above and are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract, they are subject to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing.

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. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply) Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources below where indicated for all checked items: ® Maps, plans, plots or plat submitted by or on behalf of the PJD requestor: Map: PJD Sketch Map — Figure 3 ® Data sheets prepared/submitted by or on behalf of the PJD requestor. ❑ Office concurs with data sheets/delineation report. ❑ Office does not concur with data sheets/delineation report.
