(Pilot) is pleased to submit this report of the wetland delineation for the approximate 52-acre tract located southeast of US Highway 158 in Advance, Davie County, North Carolina. Background Wetlands are defined by the United States 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. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) 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. 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. Jurisdictional features include wetlands, open waters, ponds, lakes and perennial/intermittent streams. Jurisdictional features are regulated by the USACE and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality -Division of Water Resources (NCDEQ-DWR). Permits are required prior to impacting any jurisdictional feature. The type of permit required is specific to the type, location and amount of impacts. Stormwater management plans and/or mitigation for proposed impacts could be a requirement of the permit approval process. PO Box 128, Kernersville, NC 27285 www.pilotenviro.com Wetland Delineation Pilot Project 7849.1 February 24,2023 The findings and conclusions in this report are our opinions based on field conditions encountered at the time of the site visit. Changes including, but not limited to, regulations, weather, timber/vegetation removal and usage/development of the site or nearby properties can alter the findings and opinions presented in this report. We recommend that this report only be used for preliminary planning purposes. Agency verifications, followed by a survey of jurisdictional features, are required to determine the exact extent and locations of jurisdictional features and are valid for a period of up to five years following issuance of a USACE Jurisdictional Determination (JD) and/or NCDEQ-DWR Site Determination Letter. Global Positioning System (GPS) location of jurisdictional features has been conducted by Pilot personnel in the field utilizing a Trimble handheld GPS unit capable of sub-meter accuracy. Field GPS data has been post-processed by Pilot personnel and digitally provided to the client for assistance with preliminary planning. Pilot expresses no warranties or liabilities to accuracy of GPS locations and/or provided GPS data. Scope of Services Pilot was contracted to perform a wetland delineation for the approximate 52-acre tract located southeast of US Highway 158 in Advance, Davie County, North Carolina. The site is identified on the Davie County Geographic Information System (GIS) as parcel identification numbers (PINs) 5872313806, 5872302996 and 5872218873. The scope of services included a delineation of jurisdictional features (streams, wetlands and other surface waters) on the site. The site boundary was not marked at the time of our field delineation. Literature Review We reviewed the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Survey of Davie County, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory(NWI) Map and the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). • The USGS Topographic Map (Drawing 1) depicts Smith Creek along the southwestern site boundary. An unnamed tributary to Smith Creek and pond are depicted on the southern and central portions of the site. Drainage swales that could contain additional surface waters or wetlands are located on the site. 2 Wetland Delineation Pilot Project 7849.1 February 24,2023 • The USDA Web Soil Survey of Davie County(Drawing 2) identifies the following mapping units on the site: Map unit symbol Map unit name Hydric Soils List Codorus loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes,frequently CoA flooded Yes Fairview sandy clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, FcB2 moderately eroded No Fairview sandy clay loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes, FcC2 moderately eroded No JkB Jackland loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes No Tomlin clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, ToB2 moderately eroded No Tomlin clay loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes, ToC2 moderately eroded No W Water No Pilot also reviewed the last published USDA Soil Survey of Davie County (Drawing 2A). The published soil survey depicts streams and a pond on the site, generally consistent with the USGS Topographic Map. Additionally, streams are depicted upgradient of the pond and on the northern portion of the site, adjacent to US Highway 158. • The USFWS NWI Map (Drawing 3)depicts streams and a pond on the site,generally consistent with the USGS Topographic Map. Wetlands are not depicted on the site. • The FEMA FIRM (Drawing 4) identifies the southwestern portion of the site within the 100- year and 500-year flood plains, a portion of which is located in a regulated floodway. The remainder of the site is depicted within Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard located outside of the 100-year and 500-year flood plains. Field Delineation Pilot conducted the site visit on February 20, 2023. The site contains wooded land. A pond is located on the central portion of the site. Based on our observations, the pond is hydrologically connected to upgradient and downgradient waters, and is therefore a jurisdictional water subject to USACE/DWR regulation. The pond was geolocated using a handheld Trimble GPS unit and digital elevation modeling data. Several streams are located on the site. The streams contain defined beds and banks, meanders and indicators of an ordinary high-water mark. The streams identified as SB2, SC (Smith Creek), SD and SE on Drawing 5 contain strong geomorphology indicators and hydrology indicators and appear perennial. Streams SA, SB1 and SBA contain weak geomorphology and hydrology indicators and appear to be intermittent. The stream origins, confluences, and intersections with 3 Wetland Delineation Pilot Project 7849.1 February 24,2023 culverts and the site boundary were marked in the field with blue and white striped surveyor tape. The streams were geolocated using a Trimble handheld GPS unit and digital elevation modeling data. Wetlands are located adjacent to the ponds and streams on the site. The wetlands are separated from surrounding uplands by topographic, vegetation and/or soil breaks. USACE Wetland Determination Data Forms, supporting our opinions, are included as attachments. The wetland boundaries were marked in the field with red and white striped surveyor tape and geo-located with a Trimble handheld GPS unit. Drawing 5 shows the approximate locations of the pond, Smith Creek, the streams (including our designations), wetlands, data points and flag numbers. A survey is recommended to determine the exact extent and location of jurisdictional features. Watershed Classification The site is located within the Yadkin River Basin. Smith Creek and its unnamed tributaries are located on the site. The NCDEQ-DWR has classified Smith Creek as Class C waters. Consultation with the local planning authority is recommended to determine local buffer/stormwater setback requirements for the proposed development. Agency Verification The delineation has not been verified by the USACE. We understand that our flags will be surveyed to determine the exact extent and locations of jurisdictional features and applicable surface water buffers. The delineation, including locations and designations of features, is subject to change during agency verification(s). 4 Wetland Delineation Pilot Project 7849.1 February 24,2023 Closing We appreciate the opportunity to provide our services to you.
