description shown in Jurisdictional Determination Request Package entitled"Figure 6,Stream/Wetland Location Map"and
Printed Date of 03/08/17.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appear to be waters including wetlands,on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).The
waters including wetlands,have been delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable.The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 3/8/2017. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining compensatory
mitigation.For purposes of computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other resource protection
measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S.This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part 331).However,you may
request an approved JD,which is an appealable action,by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters including wetlands,on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).
However,since the waters including wetlands,have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters including wetlands,at the project area,which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision.We recommend that you have the waters
including wetlands,on your project area/property delineated.As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC §403)and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations,this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waters including wetlands,on the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters including wetlands,on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

SAW-2017-01578
❑The waters including wetlands,on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps.The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE.We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion,this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified,this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which,provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations,may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑The waters including wetlands,have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below on DATE.Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S.,to include wetlands,present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City,NC,at(252)808-2808 to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US,including wetlands,without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,construction or
placement of structures,or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(33 USC §401 and/or 403).If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program,please contact Bryan Roden-Reynolds at 704-510-1440 or
bryan.roden-reynolds(n,usace.army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 04/16/2018.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General
Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or
requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has
not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit
applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or
different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than
accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant
can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that
permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD
constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g.,
signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area
affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD
or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. 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:

Reference: Wetland Delineation Report
Rusher Sites
East Spencer Rowan County, North Carolina
ECS Project No. 49:3590
Dear Mr. Shelton:
ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) is pleased to submit this report of wetland delineation of the Rusher
Sites located in East Spencer, Rowan County, North Carolina.
Background
ECS was contracted to identify the locations of waters of the U.S., including wetlands, for the
above referenced sites. The sites are developed residential parcels and agricultural fields. The
agricultural fields are still in use and are currently planted with cover crop (grass). According to the
Rowan County Online GIS website, the Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs) are 052 0470001002,
052 0470101, 0520470001001, and 052 204. The site is bordered by Andrews Street to the east, I-
85 to the south, and Rowan County Water Treatment plant to the east. There are multiple
residential parcels offsite to the north.
Wetlands are defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "those areas that are inundated or saturated by
surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal
circumstances, do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions." In order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils,
and wetland hydrology indicators must be present.
Literature Review
ECS reviewed the United States Geographic Survey (USGS) Topographic Map, United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Survey (NRCS) Web Soil
Survey, United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI),
and Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) Floodplain FIRM Map to obtain information
regarding the site.
• The USGS Topographic Map, East Spencer quadrangle (Figure 2) depicts Town Creek
along the southern site boundary. An unnamed tributary flows along the eastern site
boundary. There is a stream that flows through the center of the site and drains into Town
Creek. The site also contains multiple crenulations that may contain jurisdictional features.
The topography the site depicts that surface water will drain into the streams and offsite to
the southeast.

ECS Project 49:3590
March 8, 2017
• The USDA Web Soil Survey Map (Figure 3) shows multiple soil types that change with
respect to topographic elevations. Soil series' depicted on the soil survey are Cecil sandy
clay Loam (CeB2), Cecil-Urban land complex (CfB), Chewacla loam (ChA), Pacolet sandy
loam (PaD), Pacolet sandy clay loam (PcC2), and Rion-Wedowee complex (RnC).
Chewacla loam is listed on the North Carolina Hydric Soil's List for Rowan County.
• The USFWS NWI (Figure 4) depicts a floodplain wetland near the southern site boundary. A
stream is shown along the southeastern site boundary and flowing through the central
portion of the site. A stream flowing into a wetland area is depicted along the eastern
property line.
• ECS reviewed the FEMA-Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) mapping program (Figure 5).
The map indicates that the southern portion of the site is within Zone AE and Zone A.
Site Reconnaissance
Mr. Ken Vilagos and Mr. David Valentine of ECS conducted the site reconnaissance of the
Rusher Sites on March 3, 2017. During the reconnaissance, the sites were observed for
evidence of ponds, streams, and wetlands.
The site consists of a corn field that currently is planted with cover crops (grass). The southern
portion of the site borders Town creek. A floodplain wetland (Wetland A)was mapped along the
southern site boundary. The soils within Wetland A contain a depleted matrix and were
saturated at 6 inches below the surface. A stream (Stream A) was observed flowing into Town
creek offsite and flows through the central portion of the site. Stream A originates offsite to the
northwest. A stream is located along the eastern boundary that flows into Wetland B. Wetland
B is located at the center of the site along the eastern site boundary were a large pond was
drained approximately 10 years ago, according to the property owner. A small wetland
(Wetland C) is located on the southeast corner of the site near Stream A. Figure 6 depicts the
approximate location of the wetland area and data points.
Watershed Classification
State Riparian Buffer Requirements
According to the NCDWR the site is located in the Yadkin River Basin. The Yadkin River Basin
is not subject to mandatory State riparian buffers.
Stormwater Requirements
Surface waters located on the site flow to Town Creek, a tributary to the High Rock Lake. Town
Creek is classified as Class C. Town Creek is not listed on the most recent 303d impaired
waters list.
ECS reviewed the NCDWR online stormwater permitting map to determine jurisdiction of
NCDWR stormwater regulations. According to the online permitting map, it appears the site is
located in an area designated as local permitting authority. ECS recommends consultation with
a civil engineer to determine if mandatory vegetative buffers and/or regulated development
(impervious surfaces) setbacks are required for the site in addition to those mentioned above.

Rusher Sites
East Spencer, North Carolina
ECS Project 49:3590

General Discussion
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials into
waters of the United States (lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc.), including wetlands. Waters of
the United States include the territorial seas, navigable coastal and inland lakes, rivers and
streams, intermittent streams, and wetlands. Activities that could be regulated under Section
404 include the placement of fill for construction of roadways; residential, commercial or
industrial structures; and the construction of water retention ponds along tributaries. The EPA
and the USACE jointly administer the Section 404 program. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
grants each state the authority to approve, condition, or deny any Federal permits that could
result in a discharge to State waters.
Streams, ponds and wetlands are regulated by the USACE and NCDENR-DWR. Permits are
required prior to impacting wetlands or open waters, including ponds, lakes and perennial or
intermittent streams. Mitigation and stormwater management plans will be a condition of any
permits issued for the site. Buffers may be required adjacent to the streams.
For impacts to one-half acre or more of wetlands or to more than 300 linear feet of perennial
stream channel, an individual permit (IP) may be required. An IP requires a habitat analysis,
alternative site analysis, project justification, plans to avoid and minimize impacts, and a
proposed mitigation plan. Depending on the habitat analysis and the extent of impacts, an
Environmental Impact Statement may be required by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. An IP
allows for a public comment period and may require 4 to 18 months to obtain depending on
conditions arising during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers review and public comment period.
