Raleigh, NC27607 www.timmons.com August 21, 2023 Robert Tankard North Carolina Division of Water Resources Washington Regional Office Water Quality Operations Section 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 Re: Buffer Determination Request Craven Community College — Public Safety Center New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina Project No.: 59721 Dear Mr. Tankard, On behalf of Stewart Cooper Newell Architects, Timmons Group is requesting a confirmation of the stream origin/buffer applicability determination for the Craven Community College — Public Safety Center site (the Site). The Site encompasses approximately 31.4 acres and is located at Executive Parkway, New Bern, North Carolina within Craven County (Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The Site is composed of Craven County Parcel Identification Numbers (PIN) 8-217-7003 and 8-217-7004 (Figure 4. Parcel Map). The Site consists of an open field, one earthen road, and mixed hardwood and pine forested areas. The Site is bound by Executive Parkway and industrial areas to the north, forested areas to the east, south, and west. The Site is located within the Headwaters Bachelor Creek subwatershed (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 030202020605) in the Neuse River Basin. The Site drains to the north via surface flow to Deep Branch, which has a NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Stream Index Number of 27- 98-2.1 and a Stream Classification of C;Sw,NSW. The Site is not located within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year floodplain according to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 3720554000K (effective 06/19/2020). A delineation of the Site was conducted by Timmons Group Senior Environmental Scientist Nick Tudor and Environmental Technician Emory Quillian on June 27 and July 25, 2023, to identify potential features subject to riparian buffer rules. The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain (Version 2.0). In addition, streams were delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the DWR Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (Version 4.11). CIVIL ENGINEERING I ENVIRONMENTAL I SURVEYING I GIS I LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE I CONSTRUCTION SERVICES Based on our field investigation, two potential ditch features totaling approximately 1,075 linear feet in size were identified within the Site. The delineated features are depicted on Figure 6. Wetlands and Waters of the U.S. Delineation Map. A review of the most recent U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map (Jasper, 2022) and published version of the Craven County soil survey map (1989) indicates no features would be subject to riparian buffer rules (Figure 1. Vicinity Map, Figure 5. NRCS Soil Survey Map). Although it is not within the Site limits, due to its vicinity to the project, one feature just northwest of the site may be subject to riparian buffer rules. Timmons Group would appreciate your review of the enclosed maps and attachments, and confirmation of the buffer determination for the Site. Please feel free to contact Nick Tudor at (984) 222-1616 or nick.tudor(a)timmons.com so if you have any questions or would like to schedule a site visit to confirm the jurisdictional boundaries.
