Re: Additional Natural Resource Delineation
Proposed Eco- Energy Ethanol Terminal
Selma, North Carolina
GEI Project No. 1412320
Summary of Field Findings
GEI conducted a second visit to the Selma Site on December 23d, 2014. Based on findings from the
preliminary investigation, the focus of this visit was to delineate the extent of the ponded/wetland areas
observed in the west/southwest section of the Site. This area contains no National Wetland Inventory
(NVM mapped wetlands. However, if man -made wetland features connect to a mapped wetland system,
US Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) may claim jurisdiction over the features.
Most of the trees and shrubs observed are classified as facultative (FAC), which means they occur in
wetlands about 50 percent of the time. No classified upland species were identified in the immediate
vicinity of the wetland areas. Since our visit occurred outside of the growing season, observations of
groundcovers, particularly any emergent wetland plant species that may occur in the area, were limited. Due
to the limitation of winter vegetation, the wetland boundary was largely determined by soils, topography,
and hydrology.
The soils observed within the delineated wetlands were saturated, mottled with a depleted matrix color, and
primarily composed of clay. The clay soil composition supports the ponding observed throughout the
delineated areas. In drainage areas near the culverts sand and gravel were also observed.
Areas were significantly more ponded than during the November site visit. This area is generally
surrounded by steeps slopes concentrating overland flows into the depressions. Significant micro -
topography was observed throughout the depressions. Two upland "islands" were large enough to delineate
out of the wetland system. In addition to surface flows, the ground elevations within the depressions appear
to be close to the high groundwater table.
A culvert pipe east of Buffalo Road appears to be directing flow into the Site from a drainage ditch
paralleling the roadway. Another culvert pipe is located under what appears to be a historic unpaved access
road that crosses through the forested area. An additional culvert is located under the railroad berm and
connects the drainage ditch onsite to a drainage ditch south of West Norfolk Road.
The next step is to submit a jurisdictional determination request to USACE. This will include a project
description and concept sketch, resource maps, and field data forms.
Additional Figures, Site Photographs, and USACE Wetland Determination Forms are attached.
