December 1, 2023 Matthew Martin U.S. Army Corp of Engineers 3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 105 Wake Forest, NC 27587 NC Department of Environmental Quality Raleigh Regional Office 3800 Barrett Drive Raleigh, NC 27609 RE: Nationwide Permitting Application, NWP 33, Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering and associated General Water Quality Certification; Princeton Beaverdam Creek, Princeton, NC. USACE Action ID of SAW-2023-01202 On behalf of the Town of Princeton, Axiom is happy to provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) with the attached USACE Nationwide Permit (NWP) and NCDWR General Certification (GC) notification/application. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) package was submitted on July 12, 2023, and was assigned a USACE Action ID of SAW-2023-01202. Approval of the PJD was received via email on July 20, 2023. The project is centered on Beaverdam Creek from Railroad Avenue in downtown Princeton generally southeast to the crossing of Luby Smith Road (Figure 1). This project is designed to help decrease flooding on public and private properties due to storm damage from Hurricane Matthew. Proposed project activities involve: The removal of accumulated sediment within approximately 1582 linear feet of Beaverdam Creek (adjacent and immediately upstream and downstream of the wastewater plant). Project details are shown on the attached Princeton Beaver Dam Creek Rehabilitation — Division 2 (sheet 4.0). o Dewatering of Beaverdam Creek using temporary cofferdams and rip rap outlet pads. o Excavated sediment will be temporarily stored within two laydown area surrounded with silt fence within Town property and right of ways. Once adequately dried, material will be loaded and hauled to a permitted landfill facility. o Activities are anticipated to be authorized under NWP 33, Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering and the associated 401 Water Quality Certification. 2. Bank repair activities along 150 feet of Beaverdam Creek to stabilize severely eroded banks adjacent to the Princeton wastewater treatment plant. Project details are shown on the attached Princeton Beaver Dam Creek Rehabilitation — Division 2 (sheets C3.0 - C3.2). o Eroding bank slopes will be stabilized, and riprap will be keyed into place on the right (southwest) bank. o All proposed activities have been reduced to the minimum necessary and will occur entirely outside or above the OHWM; therefore, no permitting requirements are anticipated. 3. The removal of accumulated vegetation and debris within and along approximately 10,300 linear feet of Beaverdam Creek and approximately 1,150 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Creek (for a total of 11,450 linear feet). Project details are shown on the attached Princeton Beaver Dam Creek Rehabilitation — Division 1 (sheet C3.0). o Vegetative and other debris removal is anticipated along the entire reach of Beaverdam Creek between Railroad Avenue and Luby Road. o All debris will be removed by hand, using chainsaws and winches to remove large debris from the channel. o All activities are non -regulated and no permit requirements are anticipated. Again, Axiom and the Town of Princeton would like to request authorization for Section 404 and 401 impacts to potential jurisdictional areas under Nationwide Permit 33, Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering and the associated NCDWR Water Quality Certification. The Town of Princeton would also like to provide a courtesy notification for activities 2 and 3 above. Please let us know if you have questions about any of the information within this package. We are happy to discuss any aspects of the project by phone, email, or in person. We look forward to working with you further on this project.

We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of this e-mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a sufficiently accurate and reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within the identified review area. The location and extent of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map, labeled 'POTENTIAL JURISDICTIONAL FEATURES', and dated April, 2023. Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01 https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lcoll9/id/l256 provides guidance for Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type where no JD has been requested". At this time we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied upon for use in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. "This verification does not address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be interpreted as such. This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331).

Explain the purpose of the proposed project: Sediment has accumulated throughout this reach of Beaverdam Creek, above and below the wastewater treatment facilities, causing increasingly repetitive and severe flooding. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The purpose of the project is to repair bank failures and remove accumulated sediment from the stream channel adjacent to the Prineton Wastewater Treatment Plant. Bank repairs will be performed above the Ordinary High Water Mark to protect facilities and reduce sediment introduction to the channel. Standard construction equipment including bucket excavators and dump trucks sized for residential yards and narrow location access will be used for all parts of the project. Historic aerial photography from 1960 indicates that this reach of stream was historically ditched and straightened, and all excavation will be limited to the removal of accumulated sediment and will not undermine any portion of existing streambank fill. 4j.

Comments: Total fill is represented by temporary cofferdams and a rip rap outlet pad to allow for dewatering each daily work area. The total for each set of cofferdams and rip rap outlet pads is 165 square feet per setup. The maximum number of work areas required is anticipated to be 5; therefore, maximum potential temporary impacts due to fill are 825 square feet (0.019 acre), of which, 730 square feet falls within the footprint of the total 1582 linear feet of dewatering. A maximum of 95 square feet of fill from temporary cofferdams (3 linear feet each) and a rip rap outlet pad (5 linear feet) falls outside and adjacent to the dewatering and sediment removal area for a total length of 1593 linear feet of temporary impacts (one cofferdam outside and adjacent upstream and one cofferam and the rip rap pad outside and adjacent downstream). No permanent impacts are anticipated. Page 11 of 21 PCN Form Version 4.3- April 20, 2022 4.
